Deep within the Yuantian Secret Treasure, a thick gray mist permeated.
A heavy, deathly silence seemed to have solidified for eons.
And within this silence, a figure, enveloped in golden radiance, appeared in this place.
It was Ji Xuan.
Although the Yuantian Supreme Secret Treasure had undergone some kind of anomaly, Ji Xuan was not afraid.
His understanding of this Secret Treasure was much deeper than that of others.
Not to mention, he had also unexpectedly discovered an ancient talisman related to this Supreme Secret Treasure in a Scripture Pavilion of the Sacred Spirit Academy.
In addition, as a Heaven's Chosen of the Ji Family, Ji Xuan naturally possessed treasures for self-preservation and escape.
If worst came to worst, he could directly use a Great Teleportation Talisman to leave, even if it meant losing the Opportunity, it would still save his life.
Under these multiple layers of protection, Ji Xuan found it hard to imagine what danger he would encounter.
Therefore, Ji Xuan was now full of confidence, completely assured of himself.
"That Yuan Tian Supreme, whose strength was absolute, once wreaked havoc in the Ancestral Dragon Nest, tearing apart a Supreme of the Myriad Phoenix Spirit Mountain with his bare hands; almost no one dared to provoke him."
"But in the end, he unfortunately fell and withdrew from the stage of history."
"Legend has it that on the eve of his demise, he once visited an exotic realm and seemed to have brought back a rare item…"
"If one could obtain that treasure, it might forge an invincible young Supreme."
Ji Xuan muttered inwardly as he walked.
All these messages were recorded in that ancient book.
True or false, Ji Xuan could not ascertain, but with this ancient talisman, he felt it was very likely true.
At this moment, Ji Xuan suddenly stopped in his tracks.
His expression carried a sense of inexplicable meaning.
Then he turned his head, scanning the depths of the darkness behind him.
It was utterly silent there.
A cold smile played on Ji Xuan's lips, he raised his right hand and pressed it towards the depths of that darkness.
Instantly, divine radiance erupted, runes scattered, and a brilliant magical power giant hand seemed capable of obliterating everything!
This was precisely the power of the Saint King's bone.
Boom!
The darkness was illuminated, and a great tremor occurred there, a figure flashed out, emitting chilling Qi that seemed to freeze the Void Realm.
It was Jun Xuehuang!
"I wondered why I felt someone was following me all this time, so it was you, Jun Xuehuang." Ji Xuan's expression was calm and indifferent.
"When did you find out?" Jun Xuehuang slightly furrowed her delicate brows.
However, even though Ji Xuan had discovered her, she was still very calm, without any panic.
"Heh, I found out long ago, but I just didn't show it. I didn't expect you to follow me all the way here." Ji Xuan's tone was indifferent.
"So, what now? What do you intend to do?"
Jun Xuehuang stood gracefully, her delicate figure slender and elegant.
Her pair of ice-blue pupils were extremely calm, without any ripples.
If it were anyone else, being discovered tracking Ji Xuan would surely cause them to panic.
But Jun Xuehuang was the seventh sequence of the Jun Family; she had the confidence to confront Ji Xuan.
"What I intend to do, heh heh, originally I didn't want to have any conflict with your Jun Family, but your actions are too excessive!"
Ji Xuan's face suddenly darkened, and he directly reached out, attacking Jun Xuehuang.
He originally didn't want to conflict with the Jun Family.
After all, Jun Xiaoyao's reputation was too great; it was impossible to say he wasn't wary at all.
But now, the Jun Family was clearly intending to follow him and reap the benefits.
If Ji Xuan were to back down again, he would truly be a coward.
Moreover, in terms of background, his Ji Family was not much weaker than the Jun Family.
Therefore, Ji Xuan did not hesitate and directly attacked.
Jun Xuehuang raised an eyebrow and counterattacked as well.
It must be said that Ji Xuan's right arm, which had fused with the Saint King's bone, was truly too sacred and transcendent.
That aura could even help Ji Xuan isolate himself from the erosion of the gray mist.
But Jun Xuehuang was different; she still needed to allocate a portion of her strength to resist the erosion of the gray mist.
This gray mist also subtly exerted a suppressive force.
Under various conditions, Jun Xuehuang's strength was weakened by at least thirty to forty percent.
As for Ji Xuan, relying on the Saint King's bone, he was almost unaffected.
"King's Dao Fist!"
Ji Xuan clenched the five fingers of his right arm into a fist and punched out.
A King's Dao will spread out, and the fist light was astonishing.
Jun Xuehuang swept her jade hand, and a crystal clear ice shield condensed in front of her.
Boom!
Accompanied by the sound of shattering, the ice shield was directly shattered, and Jun Xuehuang's figure was impacted, causing her to retreat.
A trace of blood appeared at the corner of her jade lips.
Jun Xuehuang was injured.
"Jun Xuehuang, here, you are not my opponent, and also, tell that Jun Xiaoyao not to set his sights on me, otherwise…"
"Be careful not to lose more than you gain!" Ji Xuan's tone was indifferent.
Jun Xuehuang said sharply, "Are you threatening my family's Divine Child?"
"You can think of it that way." Ji Xuan's tone was light.
He possessed the ancient talisman; the Yuantian Supreme Secret Treasure was his home ground.
If Jun Xiaoyao dared to target him.
He would inevitably receive a painful lesson!
Seeing Jun Xuehuang's cold expression, Ji Xuan slightly frowned.
He didn't want to be delayed by Jun Xuehuang.
Thinking of this, Ji Xuan's peripheral vision scanned around.
He discovered that in the depths of the darkness, there were many dark and mottled coffins.
Ji Xuan remembered the records in the ancient book, which stated that extremely ominous items, tainted by the gray mist, might be hidden within.
Thinking of this, Ji Xuan made his move, not towards Jun Xuehuang, but towards those coffins.
Rumble!
Ji Xuan struck with a palm, like heaven and earth collapsing, and those coffins all shattered, with black Qi surging out.
Then, decaying demonic corpses, covered in black hair, emerged from them.
Ji Xuan directly took out the ancient talisman he had obtained; it looked ancient and dark, with complex runes carved on it.
Those black-haired demonic corpses seemed wary of the ancient talisman, not daring to approach, and instead locked their target onto Jun Xuehuang.
"Ji Xuan, you!"
Jun Xuehuang was furious, her jade face turning pale, not expecting Ji Xuan to use such a method.
"Heh heh, Jun Xuehuang, I didn't kill you. Whether you can hold on or not, it's up to you."
Ji Xuan chuckled, turned, and flicked his sleeve, leaving.
Looking at Ji Xuan's disappearing back in the darkness, Jun Xuehuang's expression was slightly unsightly.
Although those demonic corpses had decayed over time and their strength was far from what it was in life, they were not something Jun Xuehuang could handle alone.
Roar!
The demonic corpses let out a screeching, ghostly howl and pounced towards Jun Xuehuang.
Jun Xuehuang could only fight and retreat at the same time.
Meanwhile, Jun Xiaoyao, who had received a message from Jun Zhangjian, also brought Jiang Shengyi and Jun Wanjie to rendezvous.
As for the Nine-Headed Lion and Jun Linglong, since they did not possess the yuantian supreme token, they could not enter the depths of the Secret Treasure and could only search for other Opportunities in the outer layers.
Before long, Jun Xiaoyao arrived before an ancient teleportation array.
Jun Zhangjian was already waiting there.
He saw Jun Xiaoyao arrive, his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward, cupping his fists, "Divine Child, you've arrived."
"Where is Jun Xuehuang?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"She went to track Ji Xuan alone and told me to meet the Divine Child here." Jun Zhangjian replied.
Upon hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao furrowed his brows.
"Ji Xuan must have some designs on the Yuantian Secret Treasure; it's impossible for him to be unprepared."
"If Jun Xuehuang is careless, she will suffer."
Jun Xiaoyao's tone became slightly grave, then he flicked his sleeve and stepped onto the teleportation array.
On one hand, he wanted to ascertain Jun Xuehuang's situation.
On the other hand, he also wanted to see what rewards he could get.
