Chapter 4537: What Is Sealed in the Top-Level Forbidden Zone? Zhong Yuan's Thoughts

As for the Jing and Yao clans, the Xing Qiong Saber Emperor was also well aware in his heart.

These two clans were dissatisfied with their status as vassals of the Jun clan.

Originally, given the Xing Qiong Saber Emperor's temperament, he ought to have taken action to rectify and intimidate them.

But alas, a deep-seated chronic ailment kept him in seclusion, recuperating, making it difficult for him to act.

Moreover, if he acted against the Jing and Yao clans, the Xing clan and other families would also be implicated.

At that time, a great battle would surely ensue.

And these two clans, although dissatisfied with the Jun clan, had not acted excessively.

Coupled with being trapped on the Fallen God Island, unable to escape.

That was why the Xing Qiong Saber Emperor had not taken action.

But now, hearing Jun Xiaoyao's meaningful words.

He understood — Jun Xiaoyao felt these two clans would make small moves behind the scenes.

"The Jing clan, the Yao clan — these two clans are truly white-eyed wolves."

"Back then, in that calamity that swept the vast wilderness, had the Jun clan not kindly extended a helping hand."

"They would likely have long since become calamity dust in the great tribulation; how could they have continued their inheritance to this day?"

The Xing Qiong Saber Emperor's words carried cold fury.

He knew the Jing and Yao clans did not wish to continue being vassals of the Jun clan.

But he never expected they would actually dare to target Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently: "Senior need not be angry; this junior never held much hope for those two clans to begin with."

"Right now they have not yet made a move."

"Just in case something happens when the time comes, I hope Senior can step in to rectify matters." Jun Xiaoyao said.

"Naturally." The Xing Qiong Saber Emperor agreed immediately.

Afterwards, after discussing once more.

Jun Xiaoyao also took his leave of the Xing Qiong Saber Emperor.

On the way back.

Jun Xiaoyao's gaze fell upon Jiang Yunran; she seemed to have a trace of trance and absent-mindedness.

"Yunran, are you thinking about that Loulan Empress's matter?"

Jiang Yunran nodded slightly.

Then, she thought for a moment, and said: "That Loulan Empress was a truly peerless extraordinary woman."

"Otherwise, she could not have led the Loulan clan to resist the Dark Realm back then."

"Yunran can also sense that within this Samsara Seal, there are countless indescribable profundities."

"The current Yunran hasn't even comprehended one or two out of ten."

"If it were a peerless extraordinary woman like the Loulan Empress, she should be able to truly help Brother Xiaoyao, right?"

Hearing Jiang Yunran's words, Jun Xiaoyao was slightly stunned, then spoke seriously.

"Yunran, what do you mean by these words?"

Jiang Yunran fell slightly silent.

The reason she did not let Jiang Wolong and the others seal the Samsara Seal.

Was because she knew that only by borrowing the power of the Samsara Seal could she help Jun Xiaoyao.

Now, after learning the cause and effect of this Samsara Seal.

Jiang Yunran felt the best way to help Jun Xiaoyao.

Was to fully activate the power of this Samsara Seal.

But doing so might possibly affect even her thoughts and will.

At that time, whether she would ultimately be Jiang Yunran or the Loulan Empress.

Probably not even she herself would know.

Jun Xiaoyao looked at Jiang Yunran's face carrying a trace of trance.

He said: "That Loulan Empress was perhaps a peerless extraordinary woman worthy of respect."

"She indeed possessed very powerful strength."

"But I, Jun Xiaoyao, only know Jiang Yunran; I don't know any Loulan Empress."

"Wanting to possess the Samsara Seal's power doesn't mean you have to become another person."

Jun Xiaoyao's words were serious, carrying a trace of solemnity.

He originally had a protective nature, most unable to bear his own people suffering loss.

How could he possibly watch with open eyes as Jiang Yunran, for the sake of gaining the Samsara Seal's power, lost her self.

Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, Jiang Yunran received immense comfort.

In her crystalline eyes, ripples surged.

"Brother Xiaoyao..."

Jiang Yunran's tone was soft and tender, her heart full of affection like flowing water.

In her crystalline autumn eyes, hearts seemed to emerge, flowing with dense, tender feelings.

"Alright, Yunran, no need to think so much."

"We'll play it by ear when the time comes." Jun Xiaoyao comforted her a bit.

And simultaneously, in his heart he was thinking of another matter.

That was whether something was truly sealed in the top-level forbidden zone.

What could that be?

Jun Xiaoyao's gaze was deep and unfathomable.

This answer did not seem difficult to guess.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Zhong Yuan and the others, after leaving the Jing clan.

"Sect Master my lord, that Jing clan and Yao clan cannot be trusted."

"They want to use our Human Dao Sect to clash with Jun Xiaoyao."

"Then the snipe and clam struggle, and the fisherman profits."

To the side, Protector Feng spoke.

Zhong Yuan smiled faintly and said: "So, you think I don't know?"

"I wouldn't dare!" Protector Feng hastily cupped his fists.

Zhong Yuan waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter."

"Actually, even without the Jing and Yao clans, we and that Jun Xiaoyao would not be without conflict."

"Because if one wants to obtain the opportunities of the Fallen God Island, one must grasp that Heavenly Edict Immortal Dynasty's Ninth Princess."

"So, we are destined to clash with Jun Xiaoyao."

"Now, pulling the Jing and Yao clans along also counts as free assistance; why not do it?"

"Not to mention, if they succeed in the end, they can also join the Human Dao Sect and provide me with power of faith."

Zhong Yuan naturally also guessed the Jing and Yao clans' thoughts.

But he did not care; he only needed to achieve his own goal.

"The Sect Master my lord truly calculates like a god." Protector Yu's tone carried reverent admiration.

Zhong Yuan let out a laugh and said: "Don't say it so quickly; the waters of this Fallen God Island are not shallow."

"And that Jun Xiaoyao is also absolutely not some easy-to-fool character..."

As Zhong Yuan spoke to this point, a trace of profound light flashed in his eyes.

He thought of before, when Jun Xiaoyao had once made a move, resolving the Human Sovereign divine ability his phantom had sacrificed.

He absolutely had to figure out what karmic connection existed between that Jun Xiaoyao and the Human Sovereign!

Time passed.

The events that occurred in the ancient trial ground before had long since spread thoroughly.

Originally on Fallen God Island, Jing He Gui, whose momentum was unmatched.

Now had already become a laughingstock in many people's mouths.

Those trial-takers from the Vast Desolate were, on the contrary, unsurprised.

After all, the various heaven's favored sons Jun Xiaoyao had abused were already innumerable.

And the cultivator forces within Fallen God Island were shocked to the core.

The stereotypical impression of the Jun family's awesomeness deepened once again.

And afterwards, another piece of news spread, causing a sensation once more.

That was, Jun Xiaoyao was about to head to the top layer of Fallen God Island.

Once this news came out, it stirred up waves from all directions.

Cultivators both inside and outside the island were all shocked and tongue-tied.

Cultivators inside the island knew that once, led by Xing Qiong Dao Emperor, the five great clans went to explore the top-layer forbidden zone.

In the end, all returned empty-handed.

Even Xing Qiong Dao Emperor, this near-god expert, was injured once again.

So this also caused the rest to no longer dare easily venture to that top-layer forbidden zone.

However now, Jun Xiaoyao actually intended to go.

This also drew much attention.

Especially some Vast Desolate trial-takers, each and every one rubbing their hands in anticipation.

"Originally I still had some reservations about that top-layer forbidden zone."

"Since now Young Master Jun is taking the lead, we can also follow behind and explore a bit."

"Perhaps we might even find a heaven-defying opportunity, not necessarily."
