Originally, Jun Xiaoyao did not harbor much animosity towards Ji Xuan.
Although Ji Xuan had some minor grievances with Jun Zhangjian, they were not major issues.
At most, Jun Xiaoyao would seize Ji Xuan's Opportunity and snatch his Saint King bone, and that would be the end of it.
None of these were major issues.
But now, Ji Xuan had not only threatened him.
He had also put Jun Xuehuang in danger.
Jun Xiaoyao was not a benevolent person, nor would he restrict himself with common notions of good and evil.
If, with such a birth background, strength, and talent, he still needed to be constrained, he might as well go to Little Western Heaven and become a monk.
Shouting "Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, World-Honored Ksitigarbha" with those monks every day.
Jun Xiaoyao's creed was: those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish!
"Let's go. I'd like to see what waves that Ji Xuan can stir up," Jun Xiaoyao said with a smile.
Hearing his laugh, Jun Xuehuang and the others silently mourned for Ji Xuan in their hearts.
...
Just as Jun Xiaoyao and the others were heading to the deepest part of the Secret Treasure to find Ji Xuan.
Outside the Yuantian Secret Treasure, above the Taihuang Forest.
The Elders of several Immortal Forces were still sitting in the Void Realm.
"I never expected that the gray mist within the Yuantian Secret Treasure, along with its special field, would block the observation of the Sky-Gazing Mirror," the Jiang Family Elder said, shaking his head slightly.
"We still underestimated this Supreme Secret Treasure, but I think there's no need to use the Sky-Gazing Mirror anymore," Jun Zhantian said.
These inheritors of Immortal Dao lineages who entered the Secret Treasure all possessed protective treasures or great teleportation talismans.
So even without their Guardians constantly monitoring, they would likely not be in mortal danger.
"Hehe, Jun Zhantian, are you worried about your Jun Family Divine Child? If he perishes in the Secret Treasure, that would be an irreparable loss for the Jun Family."
The Elder of the Azure Dragon lineage from the Ancestral Dragon Nest said with a fake smile.
"Hmph, don't worry, even if you die, my grandson will still be perfectly fine," Jun Zhantian snorted coldly.
He believed that a Secret Treasure of this level could not pose a life threat to Jun Xiaoyao.
At worst, he still had the Guardian Divine Talisman bestowed by the Eighteenth Ancestor, so his life should be safe.
"Heh, I just hope your Divine Child isn't taught too harsh a lesson by our clan's Dragon Maiden," the Azure Dragon lineage Elder chuckled, full of sarcasm.
He had great confidence in Long Bichi.
After all, she was a Dragon Maiden who had completely refined two Dragon Qi, her strength far surpassing Long Haotian.
However, just as the Azure Dragon lineage Elder's laughter faded.
From within the Yuantian Secret Treasure, a figure flashed out in a disheveled state.
That figure's entire green armor was cracked and riddled with fissures, her hair was disheveled, blood coughed from the corners of her lips, and she was utterly battered.
Who else could it be but Long Bichi?
At this moment, Long Bichi's eyes still held lingering fear, her delicate body felt cold and trembled slightly.
Facing Jun Xiaoyao, she was truly terrified.
If she had been a few steps slower, the outcome might have been different; it was uncertain if she would have even survived.
"Oh, that's the Dragon Maiden of the Azure Dragon lineage from the Ancestral Dragon Nest. Why did she come out so quickly?"
"Yeah, and she's so disheveled. Did she encounter some great fierce creature, or did the Supreme's bones revive?"
At this moment, outside the Yuantian Secret Treasure, tens of thousands of Cultivators had gathered.
They were forbidden from entering due to age and seniority, so they could only watch the excitement.
Seeing Long Bichi flee so frantically, many were surprised, thinking she had encountered some fierce beast.
In the Void Realm, the sarcastic smile on the face of the Azure Dragon lineage Elder froze, his entire expression becoming unnatural.
Why had their Dragon Maiden escaped so quickly?
And in such a disheveled state, she was clearly driven out in a frantic escape.
"Haha, green-skinned loach, why aren't you laughing anymore, why did you stop?" Jun Zhantian laughed heartily, feeling utterly delighted.
The Azure Dragon lineage Elder's face turned green, he said nothing, and with a flash, he appeared beside Long Bichi.
"Bichi, what happened? Where are the Dragon Bones?" the Elder asked anxiously.
Nothing else mattered; the Dragon Bones were their goal for this trip.
"They're gone. The four ancient Dragon Bones, and one Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone, they're all gone..." Long Bichi bit her lip tightly, her face pale.
"What? There was also a Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone?" The Azure Dragon lineage Elder almost fainted upon hearing this.
That was a Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone; the entire Ancestral Dragon Nest didn't have many in its inventory.
And it was just gone, right before their eyes!
"Who? Who took it?" the Azure Dragon lineage Elder said coldly, gritting his teeth, unable to remain calm.
"Jun... Jun Xiaoyao..." Long Bichi said, trembling slightly all over.
It seemed that just mentioning this name made her feel an instinctive fear.
Although Xiao Chen and others were present at the time, Long Bichi knew they were merely playthings in Jun Xiaoyao's palm.
"What, it was him?" The Azure Dragon lineage Elder's expression froze.
Just now, he had said he hoped Jun Xiaoyao wouldn't be taught too harsh a lesson by Long Bichi.
But now, the lesson was indeed harsh, but the one who suffered was Long Bichi!
The slap to the face was too quick, not even giving people time to recover.
"She was actually driven out by the Jun Family Divine Child, no wonder..."
"Yeah, that Long Haotian died at the hands of the Jun Family Divine Child. This Long Bichi was lucky to escape."
Many Cultivators nearby also heard Long Bichi's words.
Although they were surprised, they weren't entirely unexpected.
It seemed that the Jun Family Divine Child was already a symbol of invincibility among the younger generation.
"How about it, green-skinned loach, I just ask if you're convinced or not?" Jun Zhantian said triumphantly.
His precious grandson truly brought him so much honor.
The Azure Dragon lineage Elder was so angry that his nose almost twisted, leaving him utterly speechless.
He knew that reclaiming the Dragon Bones from the Jun Family would be harder than ascending to Heaven.
"I'm sorry, Elder, I've disappointed you," Long Bichi said with a deathly pale face, completely devoid of her previous heroic and spirited demeanor.
She didn't have the nerve to say that she hadn't even fought Jun Xiaoyao but was knocked down by one move and scared away.
If that were to be said, it would simply be a disgrace to the Ancestral Dragon Nest.
In the sky, Ji Family Elder Ji Bangyin shook his head and said, "It seems the Dragon Maiden of the Azure Dragon lineage is nothing special."
"Ji Bangyin, you'd better pray that your Ji Family's one doesn't come into conflict with my grandson, otherwise, tsk tsk..." Jun Zhantian shook his head.
"Jun Zhantian, do you think that Dragon Maiden can compare to Ji Xuan? He came prepared this time. If a conflict truly arises, it should be your Jun Family Divine Child who should be worried."
Ji Bangyin smiled, very composed and calm, that kind of confidence radiated from his very bones.
"Oh?"
Even Jun Zhantian looked at Ji Bangyin with suspicion.
Could it be that this time, that Little Sage of the Ji Family can really stir up some waves?
Just as the outside world was abuzz with discussions because of Long Bichi's incident.
In the deepest part of the Yuantian Secret Treasure, Ji Xuan, dressed in luxurious robes, holding an ancient talisman, calm and composed, finally arrived at the deepest part.
He looked around, and a simple yet magnificent, ancient-looking black divine pagoda stood there, like a sky-supporting pillar!
"The final great Opportunity is here!"
Ji Xuan's eyes revealed a glimmer of joy.
After planning for so long, he could finally obtain that great Opportunity.
However, at this moment, a cold and playful voice sounded from behind.
"Ji Xuan, thank you, little treasure-hunting mouse, for leading the way..."
