Chapter 76: The Mysterious Guardian Takes Action
At the entrance of the Supreme Secret Vault, Jun Xiaoyao and others appeared.
Jun Xiaoyao, dressed in white, looked ethereal and handsome. Even after a fierce battle, he was completely unblemished, as if he had just returned from a leisurely outing.
This calm and carefree demeanor caused many female cultivators around to scream in excitement, their eyes sparkling with admiration.
Jun Xiaoyao was undoubtedly the idol of their hearts.
However, before these infatuated fans could fully express their excitement, two overwhelming auras of the Saint Realm erupted uncontrollably.
They came from Ji Bangyin and an elder of the Canglong lineage.
The two powerful auras instantly silenced the noisy Taihuang Forest.
Many prominent figures from various factions wore serious expressions, knowing that what was to come would not be easily resolved.
Jun Xiaoyao acted without any reservations.
He had forced the Dragon Maiden of the Ancestral Dragon Nest to flee in embarrassment.
He had severed the arm of the Ji family's young saint.
It could be said that if it were anyone else from another faction who had done this, they would have been annihilated by the elders of the Ancestral Dragon Nest and the Ji family the moment they appeared.
"Jun Xiaoyao, as the saying goes, leave a line for others to meet again in the future. Isn't your behavior a bit excessive?"
Ji Bangyin's face was cold and extremely grim.
Beside him was Ji Xuan, who had been teleported out by a Great Teleportation Talisman.
At this moment, Ji Xuan's face was pale, his eyes vacant, and he was clutching the stump of his severed arm, looking like a walking corpse.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ji Xuan's Dao heart had completely collapsed.
For a genius, being defeated was not terrifying.
What was terrifying was the collapse of one's Dao heart; that meant there was no hope left, and one would become a useless person.
Ji Xuan, the young saint of the Ji family, had arrived at the Yuan Tian Secret Vault full of vigor and confidence.
Yet now, he had turned into this lifeless state.
It was no wonder Ji Bangyin was so furious.
"Excessive? How has Jun done anything excessive? It was merely a normal sparring match."
Facing Ji Bangyin's Saint Realm pressure, Jun Xiaoyao remained unperturbed and composed.
He was not afraid of the pressure from a Supreme-level demonic corpse, so how could he fear the pressure from a saint?
"What do you old man want to do to my grandson?" Jun Zhantian also flashed forward, standing in front of Jun Xiaoyao.
At this moment, an elder from the Canglong lineage arrived with Long Bi Chi.
Long Bi Chi shrank behind the elder, looking at Jun Xiaoyao with lingering fear in her eyes.
Although her Dao heart was not completely shattered like Ji Xuan's, it was not in a much better state.
At the very least, Jun Xiaoyao had left a deep shadow in her heart.
"Jun Xiaoyao, what you did to our clan's Dragon Maiden is one matter, but that Dragon Bone was originally taken from my Ancestral Dragon Nest by the Yuan Tian Supreme. Shouldn't it be returned to its rightful owner now?"
The elder from the Canglong lineage said solemnly.
Given the Ancestral Dragon Nest's dominance, if another faction had obtained the Dragon Bone, the Canglong elder would have likely resorted to forceful retrieval.
But since the one who obtained the Dragon Bone was the Jun family's divine son, it made the situation quite tricky for the Canglong elder.
"Heh, the usually domineering Ancestral Dragon Nest is actually willing to reason now."
"But this Dragon Bone was obtained by my own ability. Why should I return it?"
Jun Xiaoyao smiled, a hint of cold sarcasm in his tone.
The Canglong elder's cheeks twitched slightly, then he said, "Fine, let's set aside the four ancient Dragon Bones, but the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone must be returned."
Upon hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao sneered even more, "Ancestral Dragon Nest, don't push your luck. Have you forgotten the pain of the Ghost Dragon Supreme so soon?"
"You brat, you're being outrageous!"
Jun Xiaoyao publicly exposed the Ancestral Dragon Nest's scars, causing the Canglong elder's expression to darken, unable to help but scold him.
However, just as the Canglong elder scolded, a high-pitched and sharp sound of a zither suddenly echoed from a great distance.
That zither sound transformed into a blade of killing intent, slicing through the void, and charged directly at the Canglong elder.
The fierce momentum made even saints feel their scalps tingle.
Pfft!
The zither sound blade swept past, directly cutting the Canglong elder's body in half, bright and glistening dragon blood splattering everywhere.
In one move, a saint was severely injured!
The surroundings erupted in shock and astonishment.
The Canglong elder retreated violently, his eyes revealing unprecedented horror!
"Who is this esteemed person that has made a move?" the Canglong elder trembled as he asked.
However, there was no response.
Instead, Jun Zhantian looked at Jun Xiaoyao with a hint of intrigue, "Xiaoyao, it seems your protector has made a move."
"Protector?" Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow slightly.
His protector was indeed mysterious, not showing themselves.
However, using zither sounds as an attack method was quite novel.
"Your protector is no ordinary person; you'll find out in the future," Jun Zhantian said mysteriously.
Jun Xiaoyao's gaze sharpened.
Who exactly was the protector assigned to him by the Jun family?
However, the speaker was oblivious, while the listeners were attentive. All the cultivators around, upon hearing this exchange, were filled with astonishment.
The Jun family had actually assigned such a powerful protector to Jun Xiaoyao.
It should be noted that generally, immortal factions would only assign saint-level protectors to their outstanding members.
"It seems the Jun family's divine son holds an extraordinary position within the family..." many people sighed.
The Canglong elder gritted his teeth, suppressing his injuries, and closed his mouth, no longer daring to say anything more.
He feared that if he spoke another word, he would find himself in the underworld.
Ji Bangyin's expression changed even more, filled with extreme trepidation, and he dared not say anything further.
A troublesome situation was thus easily suppressed.
"It seems both of you have nothing more to say, so I shall take my leave," Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.
As he was leaving, he did not forget to add a mocking remark, striking at their hearts.
The Canglong elder and Ji Bangyin's faces turned purple, yet they held back, not uttering a word.
The members of the Jun family, along with those from the Jiang family, left together.
It was only after they departed that the Canglong elder and Ji Bangyin let out furious roars, their voices shaking the ground for three thousand miles.
The two immortal factions had never suffered such a loss before.
"Ah, as expected of one of the three great families, the Jun family has subdued two immortal lineages without a fight," some cultivators remarked.
The Yuan Tian Secret Vault concluded with this outcome.
Although many had initially speculated that the Jun family's divine son would be the most outstanding presence in this secret vault, no one had anticipated he would shine to such an extent.
He overshadowed all other geniuses.
The Dragon Maiden of the Ancestral Dragon Nest, the Ji family's young saint, the ancient royal family's nine-headed lion, the Devouring Sky Sparrow, and others were no match for Jun Xiaoyao.
In the end, Jun Xiaoyao even suppressed the Supreme Demonic Corpse.
This truly astonished everyone.
If this news spread, half of theRugged Celestial Realmwould tremble.
There were already rumors that Jun Xiaoyao would be one of the few standing at the pinnacle of the immortal domain in this era.
It could be said that through this journey to the Yuan Tian Secret Vault, Jun Xiaoyao had completely made a name for himself in the荒天仙域.
However, while some rejoiced, others were dismayed.
In Nantan City, a man and a woman appeared, none other than Wu Mingyue and Xiao Chen.
