Chapter 68: The Embarrassed Longbi Pond
Originally, Jun Xiaoyao did not harbor much hostility towards Ji Xuan.
Although Ji Xuan had some past grievances with Jun, they were not significant matters.
At most, Jun Xiaoyao would just seize some of Ji Xuan's opportunities or snatch his Saint King hand bone, and that would be the end of it.
None of it was a big deal.
But now, Ji Xuan not only threatened him.
He also put Jun Xuehuang in a perilous situation.
Jun Xiaoyao was not a good person and would not bind himself with a mundane view of good and evil.
If someone with such a background, strength, and talent needed to hold back, it would be better to go to the Little Western Heaven and become a monk.
Spending every day chanting "Great Might Heavenly Dragon" and "World Honored Earth Store" with a group of monks.
Jun Xiaoyao's doctrine was simple: those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish!
"Let’s go, I want to see what kind of waves Ji Xuan can stir up," Jun Xiaoyao said with a smile.
Upon hearing his laughter, Jun Xuehuang and the others silently mourned for Ji Xuan in their hearts.
...
At that moment, as Jun Xiaoyao and the others headed to the deepest part of the secret vault to find Ji Xuan.
Outside the Yuan Tian Secret Vault, above the Tai Huang Forest.
Elders from several major immortal forces were still sitting cross-legged in the void.
"I didn't expect that the gray mist inside the Yuan Tian Secret Vault, combined with its special domain, would actually block the observation of the Sky Mirror," Elder Jiang of the Jiang family said, shaking his head slightly.
"We still underestimated this supreme secret vault, but I think there's no need to use the Sky Mirror anymore," Jun Zhantian said.
The inheritors of the immortal Dao lineages who entered the secret vault all possessed protective treasures or great teleportation talismans.
So even without their guardians watching over them, they likely wouldn't face any life-threatening dangers.
"Hehe, Jun Zhantian, are you worried about your Jun family's divine son? If he falls in the secret vault, it would be an irreparable loss for the Jun family," Elder of the Canglong lineage from the Ancestor Dragon Nest said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
"Hmph, don't worry, even if you die, my grandson will still live well," Jun Zhantian snorted coldly.
He believed that this level of secret vault could not pose a life-threatening danger to Jun Xiaoyao.
At worst, he still had the protective talisman granted by the eighteen ancestors, so his life was assured.
"Hehe, I just hope your divine son doesn't get taught a harsh lesson by our dragon maiden," the elder of the Canglong lineage chuckled, his tone laced with sarcasm.
He had great confidence in Long Bi Chi.
After all, she was a dragon maiden who had completely refined two dragon essences, and her strength was far beyond that of Long Haotian.
However, just as the elder of the Canglong lineage finished laughing.
A figure stumbled out from the Yuan Tian Secret Vault.
The figure was clad in cracked green armor, with fissures spreading across it, hair disheveled, coughing blood from the corner of her lips, and exuding an air of utter disarray.
Who else could it be but Long Bi Chi?
At this moment, fear still lingered in Long Bi Chi's eyes, her delicate body chilled and trembling slightly.
Facing Jun Xiaoyao, she was genuinely afraid.
If she had been a moment slower, the outcome might have been different; she might not have even survived.
"Eh? That's the dragon maiden of the Canglong lineage. How did she come out so quickly?"
"Yeah, and in such a sorry state. Did she encounter some great evil, or did that supreme corpse revive?"
At this moment, outside the Yuan Tian Secret Vault, thousands of people had gathered.
Due to age and seniority, they were not allowed to enter, so they could only watch the excitement.
Seeing Long Bi Chi escape in such a disheveled manner, many were astonished, thinking she must have encountered some fierce creature.
In the void, the elder of the Canglong lineage had his sarcastic smile freeze, his entire expression becoming unnatural.
How did his dragon maiden escape so quickly?
And in such a sorry state, it was clear she had been driven out.
"Haha, green-skinned mud loach, why aren't you laughing anymore?" Jun Zhantian laughed heartily, feeling immensely pleased.
The elder of the Canglong lineage turned pale, speechless, and in a flash, he landed beside Long Bi Chi.
"Bi Chi, what happened? Where's the dragon bone?" the elder asked urgently.
Nothing else mattered; the dragon bone was their goal for this trip.
"It's gone. Four ancient dragon bones and one supreme ancestor dragon bone are all gone..." Long Bi Chi bit her lip hard, her complexion pale.
"What? There was a supreme ancestor dragon bone?" The elder of the Canglong lineage nearly choked on his words upon hearing this.
That was a supreme ancestor dragon bone; there were hardly any in stock in the entire Ancestor Dragon Nest.
And just like that, it was gone!
"Who was it? Who took it?" the elder of the Canglong lineage said coldly, gritting his teeth, unable to maintain his composure.
"Jun... Jun Xiaoyao..." Long Bi Chi said, her body trembling slightly.
It seemed that just mentioning his name instilled a primal fear in her.
Although Xiao Chen and the others were present at the time, Long Bi Chi knew they were merely playthings in Jun Xiaoyao's hands.
"What? It was him?" The elder of the Canglong lineage's expression froze.
Just a moment ago, he had said he hoped Jun Xiaoyao wouldn't be taught too harshly by Long Bi Chi.
Now, the lesson was indeed harsh, but it was Long Bi Chi who suffered!
The slap in the face came too quickly, without giving anyone a moment to breathe.
"She was actually driven out by the Jun family's divine son; no wonder..."
"Indeed, Long Haotian died at the hands of the Jun family's divine son. Long Bi Chi was lucky to escape."
Many cultivators around also heard Long Bi Chi's words.
Although they were astonished, they were not surprised.
It seemed that the Jun family's divine son had already become a symbol of invincibility among the younger generation.
"How about it, green-skinned mud loach? Do you admit defeat?" Jun Zhantian said triumphantly.
His precious grandson had truly brought him great honor.
The elder of the Canglong lineage's nose nearly crinkled with anger, unable to utter a word.
He knew that trying to reclaim the dragon bones from the Jun family would be harder than ascending to the heavens.
"Sorry, elder, I disappointed you," Long Bi Chi said, her face ashen, completely devoid of the heroic spirit she had when she arrived.
She actually felt embarrassed to admit that she hadn't even fought Jun Xiaoyao before being knocked down by him and scared away.
If this got out, it would be a disgrace to the Ancestor Dragon Nest.
In the sky, Elder Ji Bangyin of the Ji family shook his head and said, "It seems the dragon maiden of the Canglong lineage is nothing special after all."
"Ji Bangyin, you better pray that your Ji family's member doesn't clash with my grandson. Otherwise..." Jun Zhantian shook his head.
"Jun Zhantian, do you think that dragon maiden can compare with Ji Xuan? He has come prepared this time. If a conflict truly arises, the one who should be worried is your Jun family's divine son," Ji Bangyin said with a smile, very calm and composed, exuding confidence from his very core.
"Oh?"
Even Jun Zhantian looked at Ji Bangyin with suspicion.
Could it be that this time, the Ji family's little sage could really stir up some waves?
Just as the outside world was buzzing with discussions about Long Bi Chi's incident.
In the deepest part of the Yuan Tian Secret Vault, Ji Xuan, dressed in splendid robes and holding an ancient talisman, finally arrived at the innermost chamber.
He looked around and saw an ancient, magnificent, pitch-black divine tower standing there, exuding an aura of antiquity, like a pillar supporting the heavens!
"The final great opportunity is right here!"
Ji Xuan's eyes revealed a hint of joy.
After planning for so long, he could finally obtain that great opportunity.
However, at that moment, a voice filled with cold amusement rang out from behind him.
"Ji Xuan, I must thank you, this treasure-seeking rat, for leading the way..."
