Chapter 4513: The Attitudes of the Yao and Jing Families, Heading to the Middle-Layer Ancient Trial Ground

Just as Jun Xiaoyao's arrival stirred up waves among the several great families.

Among the five great families, there were still two families that had not arrived.

In a vast region of the Fallen God Island.

This region likewise had palaces and towers standing tall, with cultivators traveling through the air, appearing extremely extraordinary.

This place was precisely the territory of one of the five great families, the Jing family.

In a grand hall deep within this region.

A middle-aged man with the bearing of a scholar stood with his hands behind his back.

He was precisely the Jing family head, Jing Lanshan.

Beside him were also some of the Jing family's elders and high-ranking members.

"Everyone, what are your views?" Jing Lanshan said indifferently.

To the side, a Jing family elder spoke.

"Unexpectedly, after so long, a member of the Jun family has actually come to this place."

"However, according to the spies' reports, only a single Jun family member named Jun Xiaoyao has come here."

"It seems that indeed, the Jun family is now completely gone from Cangmang."

Another Jing family elder said: "Back then, our Jing family was so glorious."

"Tracing back to the most ancient times, we were a family possessing the bloodline of a Mythical Emperor."

"If not for that calamity that swept across all of Cangmang, our Jing family would not have fallen to the point of becoming vassals to the Jun family."

"We originally thought that after the Jun family left Cangmang, our Jing family would be able to gradually shed the status of a vassal clan."

"Who would have thought that we would instead be trapped in this Fallen God Island."

As the Jing family elders spoke, there seemed to be a feeling of unwillingness in their words.

The Jing family back in Cangmang also had quite some reputation.

Their bloodline origin was rumored to be related to the bloodline of a Mythical Emperor.

At their peak, the Jing family was also a top-tier great clan with a Near-God level expert presiding over it.

Alas, that later calamity caused the Jing family's strongest expert to perish.

Left with no choice, if they did not rely on other powers, they would have difficulty continuing on.

In the end, they chose to submit to the Jun family.

However, although being vassals to the Jun family was not a shameful matter.

The Jing family had always taken pride in their own Mythical bloodline.

In their view, if the Jing family had not been affected by that calamity and suffered a heavy blow back then.

They would not have fallen to the point of becoming vassals.

This had always been a thorn in the hearts of all the Jing family members.

Of course, during the time they were vassals to the Jun family, the Jing family naturally did not dare to have any thoughts or make any small moves.

After all, betraying the Jun family — those consequences were unthinkable.

And they also learned the news that the Jun family was no longer in Cangmang.

This made all the Jing family members secretly breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Alas, they had always been trapped in the Fallen God Island, unable to break free.

"Family Head, if our Jing family does not go this time, will we offend that Jun Xiaoyao?"

A Jing family elder spoke with some apprehension.

Jing Lanshan shook his head slightly and said: "If a true big shot of the Jun family were to come, then our Jing family truly could not treat them casually."

"But that Jun Xiaoyao is merely a junior of the younger generation."

"Right now in all of Cangmang, besides the Jun family members sealed away in the Immortal Soil, there should only be this son still out in the open."

Hearing these words, the Jing family elders present also nodded slightly.

"Correct, we will not take the initiative to provoke that Jun Xiaoyao, nor will we pay him any heed; we will keep to ourselves."

At this time, an elder hesitated slightly.

"However, according to the news that has come."

"It is said that Jun Xiaoyao seems to have said that he wants to rescue our five great families from the Fallen God Island."

As these words fell, the entire hall fell slightly quiet.

Then, the Jing family elders and high-ranking members present all shook their heads and smiled.

"This son is too naive."

"Exactly, still wanting to help us escape — how is that possible?"

"Even a Near-God level powerhouse like the Punishment Heaven Saber Emperor couldn't do it."

"No matter that he is a Jun family member, he is still just a junior of the younger generation."

This news made the Jing family members present shake their heads one after another.

"This Jun Xiaoyao is probably just paying lip service; after all, as the main family, it would be a bit improper if he didn't show anything at all."

"Enough." Jing Lanshan waved his sleeve and said.

"We need not bother with this son, but there is also no need to provoke him."

The Jing family, although they no longer wanted to be a vassal power of the Jun family now.

They also did not want to offend the Jun family.

It would be best to just maintain this kind of neither-close-nor-distant relationship.

"Right, where is He Gui?" Jing Lanshan said.

A Jing clan elder said, "He Guigui is in the middle layer's trial zone; word is his cultivation has advanced further of late."

Hearing this, Jing Lanshan gave a slight nod, a trace of satisfaction surfacing in his eyes.

Jing He Guigui is Jing Lanshan's descendant, and also the most outstanding figure in the Jing clan.

Among the five great clans of the Fallen God Island, he ranks among the top peerless monsters.

More importantly, this Jing He Guigui has awakened a thread of atavistic bloodline.

You must know, the Jing clan's ancestors can be traced back to the Mythic Emperor bloodline.

Yet all along, no one in the Jing clan has been able to awaken that bloodline power.

But Jing He Guigui has awakened it.

His status in the Jing clan is self-evident.

He can be called the Jing clan's absolute core seed, even the hope entrusted for the clan's future rise.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Yao clan's situation is much the same.

Like the Jing clan, the Yao clan's inherited bloodline is no ordinary one.

That is to say, their ancestors were once glorious.

But later they declined somewhat, and for various reasons became a vassal force of the Jun clan.

It's not that they're targeting the Jun clan; they simply don't want to be the Jun clan's vassals any longer.

So for this summons, they didn't go either, preparing to watch from the sidelines.

The Yao clan people all felt that Jun Xiaoyao's claim he could rescue the five clans from their predicament was sheer fantasy.

So they believed that after Jun Xiaoyao tried and failed, he would leave as well.

Impossible for him to stay on Fallen God Island for long.

Toward these two clans, Jun Xiaoyao indeed took no action, couldn't be bothered to care.

In Jun Xiaoyao's view, it has always been other forces begging to become the Jun clan's vassals.

Not the Jun clan demanding other forces become vassals.

The Jun clan doesn't lack these few vassals.

If the Yao clan and Jing clan want to break away, then naturally it's up to them.

Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao also prepared to set out.

Wanting to go see the Trial Ancient Land in Fallen God Island's middle layer.

When he raised this matter, the three great clans almost all wanted to send people to escort Jun Xiaoyao there.

"Young Master Jun, Lingxue has some understanding of the Trial Ancient Land and is willing to lead Young Master there."

Clad in plain, clean garments, with a clear, cold beauty of a face, Cheng Lingxue.

Originally a famous cold beauty on Fallen God Island.

At this moment she actually came on her own initiative to visit Jun Xiaoyao, wanting to accompany him to the Trial Ancient Land.

Taishan of the Tai clan also came.

As for the Xing clan, someone came as well.

A young man carrying a long saber on his back, his whole bearing somewhat cold and sharp.

In that gaze there was a sharpness like saber qi.

As if a single glance could slice a person to pieces.

His name is Xing Bei, the most outstanding figure among the Xing clan's younger generation.

Also a rather proud and aloof sort.

But upon seeing Jun Xiaoyao just now, his attitude was very respectful and reverent.

Because of Xing Qiong Dao Emperor.

So the entire Xing clan's loyalty to the Jun clan is practically like bloodline, deep in the marrow.
