Chapter 574

"It seems the rumors were true: you once turned your hair white overnight for Jun Xiaoyao."

"And now, you are protecting the Celestial Embryo with your life for his sake, just so you can leave it for him to refine." Watching Ji Qingyi sighed.

This kind of emotion is moving.

"There is no need for further words; I will not give the Celestial Embryo to you." Jiang Shengyi's eyes were resolute.

Although this Celestial Embryo is very compatible with her Innate Dao Embryo.

But by comparison, Jun Xiaoyao entered the Emperor Road very late, and he needs this Celestial Embryo more.

Although Jiang Shengyi is wounded, she has the confidence to fight Watching Ji Qingyi and protect the Celestial Embryo.

Watching Ji Qingyi's eyes were deep; for a moment, she seemed about to mobilize her magic power.

But then, Watching Ji Qingyi gave up.

"Jun Xiaoyao entered the nineteenth layer of the Hell Star; it is unknown if he can ever come out again. During this time, if you cannot hold on, wouldn't the Celestial Embryo be given away to others for nothing?"

The news of Jun Xiaoyao leaving the nineteenth layer of the Hell Star had not yet reached Hangu Pass, let alone the Desolate Heaven Battlefield.

"That is none of your business; I will protect it with my life." Jiang Shengyi's tone was slightly cold.

"Then Jiang Shengyi, take care of yourself." Watching Ji Qingyi shook her head slightly and then departed.

She had reservations.

What she was wary of was not just Jiang Shengyi's own strength.

She was even more wary of Jun Xiaoyao, who stood behind Jiang Shengyi.

Watching Ji Qingyi had witnessed Jun Xiaoyao's prowess.

Although she did not believe Jun Xiaoyao could be stronger than that mysterious descendant of the Human Immortal Sect.

But at the very least, Watching Ji Qingyi could not afford to offend him.

So she gave up.

Seeing Watching Ji Qingyi leave, Jiang Shengyi also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Watching Ji Qingyi is considered one of the deepest-hiding prodigies in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain; if she had truly struck.

Even if Jiang Shengyi could escape, she would likely have been wounded again.

"I must save this Celestial Embryo for Xiaoyao; when he comes to the Desolate Heaven Battlefield, I will hand it to him personally." Jiang Shengyi murmured.

At the thought of that white-clad figure, a smile appeared on Jiang Shengyi's lips involuntarily.

Paired with her pure and refined, stunningly beautiful celestial face, it had a beauty that transcended the mortal world.

Within her body, the Innate Dao Embryo was stirring at every moment, as if urging Jiang Shengyi to refine this Celestial Embryo quickly.

Jiang Shengyi had been suppressing it.

She knew clearly that if she refined this Celestial Embryo, she might be able to cultivate three, four, or even five strands of Celestial Qi.

But she still refused to do so.

Because in her heart, Jun Xiaoyao is the most important.

Next, about another month passed.

Jun Xiaoyao, who had set out from Hulao Pass, was also sweeping through everything along the way.

For ordinary prodigies, the Emperor Road, which is filled with crises at every step, was like walking on flat ground for Jun Xiaoyao, as if he were strolling through his own backyard.

Now on the Emperor Road, with Jun Xiaoyao's strength, there was nothing that could threaten him.

Starry beasts, void dark currents, and various dangerous places—Jun Xiaoyao swept through them all with one hand.

As for the starry bandits, when they saw Jun Xiaoyao from afar, they were already scared into retreating.

Jun Xiaoyao was like a white-clad God-King, striding through the galaxy, sweeping through everything along the way.

At this speed, Jun Xiaoyao would soon be able to reach the Desolate Heaven Battlefield.

However, in this month or so, the situation in the Desolate Heaven Battlefield had also been changing rapidly.

It was not just the prodigies of the Ancient Imperial Clans, such as Long Xuhuang, Huang Jiuyan, and the descendants of the Crocodile Ancestor, who wanted to target Jiang Shengyi.

There were also those minor giant prodigies from ancient star domains who had united as well.

They and people like Long Xuhuang seemed to have reached some kind of agreement.

Long Xuhuang and the others went to besiege Jiang Shengyi.

While the minor giant prodigies from the ancient star domains went to block those who were coming to aid Jiang Shengyi.

In a certain territory of the Desolate Heaven Battlefield.

Several figures were gathering in one direction.

Among them, a young girl with twin tails was Jiang Luoli.

Her starry eyes were bright, her nose was delicate, her lips were like painted rouge, and her pretty face was snow-white and delicate, like a small, jade-carved beauty.

Only at this moment, her small face was filled with anxiety, and she said, "Those guys are too presumptuous; they actually dare to openly besiege Sister Shengyi."

Previously, because of Jun Xiaoyao, there seemed to be some distance between Jiang Luoli and Jiang Shengyi.

But this could not hinder the family affection between Jiang Luoli and Jiang Shengyi.

"Heh... if Jun Xiaoyao were here, would they dare to be so presumptuous?"

Beside her, a heroic man holding a divine seal revealed a cold sneer at the corner of his mouth.

It was the ancient freak of the Jiang Clan, the Divine Seal King Body, Jiang Tianyan.

"No matter what, let's hurry and save her," said another man, Jiang Xuling.

However, just at this moment.

More than a dozen figures suddenly appeared ahead.

Seeing these suddenly appearing figures, Jiang Luoli's small face sank.

The leader was a man with crimson long hair, his aura as violent as a raging fire, and his cultivation had also reached the Sage Realm.

"So it is Gu Yan, a minor giant from the Red Flame Ancient Star Domain." Jiang Tianyan frowned slightly.

This Gu Yan had a somewhat legendary story.

It is rumored that he was originally a disciple of an obscure small force in the Red Flame Ancient Star Domain.

As a result, he accidentally fell into the forbidden land of the Red Flame Ancient Star Domain, the Blazing Abyss, and was swallowed by the Ancient Flame Demon within.

But in the end, Gu Yan not only did not die but instead merged with the Ancient Flame Demon, mastering the power of flames and rising to power.

After stepping onto the Emperor Road, he swept through all directions and has now become a famous minor giant.

In addition, the prodigies beside Gu Yan were also not weak, not much worse than minor giants.

"Everyone, where are you going?" Gu Yan smiled.

"Get out of the way, this girl has no time to chat with you!" Jiang Luoli shouted.

"The apple of the Jiang Clan's eye is truly delicate and lovely; I wonder if I, Gu, might have the honor of discussing life and ideals with you, young lady?" Gu Yan smiled slightly.

He was very strong, had a handsome appearance, and had become a minor giant, making him a dazzling star on the Emperor Road.

"Just based on you, this ugly monster, are you worthy?"

"Your strength cannot even compare to one of Brother Xiaoyao's fingers, and as for your appearance, comparing your appearance to Brother Xiaoyao's is an insult to Brother Xiaoyao!"

Jiang Luoli's tongue was not weak, and the smile on Gu Yan's face disappeared upon hearing this.

"Heh... that Jun Xiaoyao entered the nineteenth layer of the Hell Star; it is unknown if he can even come out alive. What is so good about liking a dead person?"

"You are presumptuous!" Jiang Luoli puffed out her cheeks, her large eyes spitting fire.

Beside her, Jiang Tianyan stepped forward and said coldly, "If you want to stop us from aiding Jiang Shengyi, just say so; why beat around the bush?"

"Since you understand, then good. Do you want to sit down quietly, or do you want to fight?" In Gu Yan's eyes, flames were surging.

Vaguely, behind him, a terrifying phantom of the Ancient Flame Demon seemed to emerge.
