Above Sword Monument City, two Vicious Beasts, like primordial demonic mountains, pulled a carriage.
The aura of those two Vicious Beasts alone was enough to awe the crowd, making many Prodigies present tremble.
"Those are… Fiend King and Fiend King, two of the Beast Cave Four Little Kings!"
"The person behind them is indeed Jun Xiaoyao; the rumors are true!"
When the two Vicious Beasts pulled the carriage down into Sword Monument City,
it undoubtedly caused an uproar from all directions.
Feeling that ultimate fiendish might, Pang Yan felt the blood in his veins freeze.
This chill did not come from Fiend King or Fiend King.
Instead, it came from the white-robed young man sitting leisurely in the carriage.
"You dare to touch someone from my Jun Emperor Court?"
A calm yet cold remark came from Jun Xiaoyao's mouth.
It was like a heavy hammer, striking hard on Pang Yan's heart.
He staggered back two steps, a look of horror in his eyes.
This legendary Jun Family Divine Child of the Immortal Domain was actually this powerful!
But this was normal.
After all, Jun Xiaoyao had already achieved Breakthrough to Great Heavenly Venerate Great Perfection, and could even be called a half-step Profound Venerable.
Compared to when he came to Nine Heavens, his strength had undergone a qualitative change.
And seeing that long-unseen white-robed figure,
Yan Rumeng also stood rooted to the spot, as if struck by lightning.
Her mind was a mess, even a little dazed.
Originally, she left the Immortal Domain to distance herself, to let her heart find peace.
Now, after all this, she had returned to where she started.
At the most critical moment, the one who reached out to her was still Jun Xiaoyao.
Encountering Xiaoyao ruins a lifetime; it is both fate and tribulation!
"You… Jun Xiaoyao, what does this have to do with you!?"
Pang Yan's face was somewhat pale.
Although he usually acted arrogantly, relying on his identity as a Great Demon King's attendant and thinking highly of himself,
he wasn't a fool.
He knew who he could provoke and who he couldn't.
If it weren't for the previous rumors about Jun Xiaoyao, he might not have cared.
But now, Jun Xiaoyao's name was like thunder in Nine Heavens.
He had successively suppressed Fiend King, Fiend King, defeated the Reincarnation Sea Three Young Lords, destroyed Wang Yan's Clone, and severely injured the Little Stone Emperor.
It could be said that even if the beings of Nine Heavens were unwilling to admit it,
they could only acknowledge that Jun Xiaoyao had indeed reached the level of the most top-tier Prodigies.
But now, Pang Yan's heart was trembling.
Because facing Jun Xiaoyao, he felt like he was facing a cold, aloof deity!
Even his master, the Great Demon King, though his fiendish might was boundless, did not give him this feeling.
"She is my person, how is it not my business?"
Jun Xiaoyao's tone was icy.
"Let's go!"
Pang Yan swallowed his anger and tried to leave with a few Pang Family Prodigies.
Although a beautiful woman was hard to come by, confronting Jun Xiaoyao over it would be pure idiocy.
"Devour them," Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.
Fiend King coldly snorted in displeasure, saying, "They are from the Immortal Demon Grotto Heaven, the Great Demon King's people."
Mentioning that Great Demon King, even Fiend King became somewhat solemn.
That Great Demon King's strength was even greater than his.
"I don't care what Devil King he is; if he provokes my people, he won't live," Jun Xiaoyao said coldly.
Fiend King was helpless; if he didn't obey Jun Xiaoyao's orders, he would undoubtedly get another beating.
Then, Fiend King and Fiend King opened their mouths and pounced towards Pang Yan and the others.
One Taotie, one Qiongqi, pouncing down—what a terrifying sight.
"You, what are you doing, Jun Xiaoyao, I am the Great Demon King's person!"
"If you kill me, the Great Demon King will not let you off!"
Pang Yan couldn't help but say in horror upon seeing this.
However, there was no suspense in the outcome.
In just a moment, sounds of bones breaking and muscles tearing could be heard.
Fiend King and Fiend King seemed to vent all their hatred for Jun Xiaoyao onto Pang Yan and the others.
Limbs flew, blood splattered, a truly bloody scene.
Many Prodigies around felt their scalps tingle, as if falling into an ice cave.
But what made them feel cold was not just the brutality of Fiend King and Fiend King.
It was also Jun Xiaoyao's calm expression.
He seemed oblivious to the bloody scene before him.
Only after Pang Yan and the others were swallowed alive by Fiend King and Fiend King,
did Jun Xiaoyao slowly step down from the carriage.
Looking at the dazed Yan Rumeng,
a hint of a smile finally appeared on Jun Xiaoyao's face.
"What, don't you recognize an old acquaintance so quickly?"
In Yan Rumeng's eyes, a glimmer of crystal suddenly rolled.
She hastily turned her head, wiping away that tear.
"You scoundrel…"
Yan Rumeng silently murmured in her heart, then turned back, a captivating smile also appearing on her face.
"I just didn't expect to see you here again."
Seeing the slightly forced smile on Yan Rumeng's face,
Jun Xiaoyao was silent.
How could he not know Yan Rumeng's feelings for him?
It was just that many things in this world had no conclusion.
Jun Xiaoyao changed the subject, saying, "Why did you come to Nine Heavens?"
Yan Rumeng also calmed her emotions slightly, then said,
"It was Little Demon Queen who brought me here."
"Little Demon Queen…"
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flashed.
He had almost forgotten about that.
Little Demon Queen also came from Nine Heavens.
And her background was mysterious.
She should belong to a certain forbidden zone, but it was unknown which one.
And looking at Yan Rumeng's situation, she probably wasn't too clear about Little Demon Queen's affairs either.
"I'm sorry, because of me, I've caused you trouble again," Yan Rumeng said.
She also knew that the Great Demon King of Immortal Demon Grotto Heaven should not be an easy character to provoke.
"It's nothing, many debts don't worry you; as you know, I never lack enemies."
"Moreover, you are a person of my Jun Emperor Court, and as the Lord of the Imperial Court, protecting my own people is what I should do," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"A person of the Jun Emperor Court?" Yan Rumeng murmured to herself.
Then she revealed a slight, self-mocking smile.
Indeed, she could only be a person of the Jun Emperor Court.
Not Jun Xiaoyao's person.
"Then why did you come to Nine Heavens this time?" Yan Rumeng asked.
"It's about Jiang Luoli's matter."
Jun Xiaoyao briefly explained the matter of the Three Immortals Cave.
After listening, Yan Rumeng felt a trace of bitterness in her heart.
She forced a smile and said, "Miss Jiang Luoli is truly fortunate to receive such care and protection from you. Since that's the case, I'll take my leave first."
Yan Rumeng didn't want to stay by Jun Xiaoyao's side anymore.
Just as Yan Rumeng turned to leave,
Jun Xiaoyao grabbed her fair wrist with one hand.
"Are we that estranged? You weren't like this when we were on the Ultimate Ancient Road before."
Jun Xiaoyao said.
"That was before, it can't go back," Yan Rumeng lightly bit her lip with her pearly teeth.
She and Jun Xiaoyao were initially enemies.
Jun Xiaoyao was the only man who had taken advantage of her.
She had also been so angry at Jun Xiaoyao that her teeth ached.
Later, on the Ultimate Ancient Road, the two met, completely eliminated their estrangement, turned enemies into friends, and accompanied each other all the way.
At that time, she could even casually joke and tease, pulling Jun Xiaoyao and calling him her husband.
But now, Yan Rumeng no longer dared to make such jokes.
Because she was afraid that if she joked too much, she would take it seriously.
