Actually, when Jun Xiaoyao first saw Chu Xiao, he had pretty much figured out the whole routine.
It was nothing more than the typical underdog's rise to power.
A World Child native to a Small World, after obtaining an Opportunity from a Heavenly Book, rises steadily.
At the same time, he intersects with a Prodigy from a higher plane.
After achieving success and fame, he follows her footsteps and arrives here.
However, what surprised Jun Xiaoyao a bit was that this Chu Xiao didn't seem to be so simple.
This made Jun Xiaoyao somewhat interested.
It seemed Chu Xiao's value wasn't just in providing the Heavenly Book.
"A dignified Young Master of an Emperor Clan shouldn't be afraid to accept a challenge from an unknown person, right?"
Chu Xiao stared intently at Jun Xiaoyao.
In Qingyang World, he was the well-known Chu Zun.
But looking at the entire World Sea, he was indeed an unknown.
"You ant!"
Tantai Ling was furious.
They wanted to bring Tantai Qingxuan and Jun Xiaoyao together.
As a result, this Chu Xiao fellow came out of nowhere to cause trouble.
If Jun Xiaoyao learned that Chu Xiao and Tantai Qingxuan had some prior entanglement, would he be displeased?
Would he give up on Tantai Qingxuan?
The thought that Chu Xiao might ruin the Tantai Imperial Clan's good fortune made Tantai Ling want to slap him to death.
But this was at Tantai Jade Dragon's birthday banquet.
It would indeed be bad if someone died.
Tantai Ling was about to make a move to capture Chu Xiao.
But Jun Xiaoyao calmly took a sip of tea, then said indifferently, "Senior, there's no need to get angry. Since he's Miss Qingxuan's friend, we should treat him with courtesy."
Jun Xiaoyao was in no hurry to deal with Chu Xiao.
Absolute strength gave him absolute confidence.
He could easily control Chu Xiao and was not in a rush.
"Please don't mind him, Young Master. He and Young Miss Qingxuan actually have no relation whatsoever."
"He's just a toad trying to eat swan meat, that's all." Tantai Ling could only say with a forced smile.
Seeing this, Chu Xiao's face grew even darker.
Tantai Ling's attitude towards him and towards Jun Xiaoyao was like night and day.
However, Jun Xiaoyao's magnanimity made him appear somewhat petty in comparison.
"Who is this person, daring to challenge Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao directly?"
"Exactly. Even Xiahou Zhen of the Xiahou Emperor Clan was defeated by Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao in one move. Who gave him the courage to challenge?"
Many people present scoffed at Chu Xiao.
He was simply like a clown.
Meanwhile, Jun Xiaoyao remained calm and composed, sipping his tea, completely unbothered.
Their demeanor and broad-mindedness were completely different.
"It seems any random nobody dares to provoke Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao now."
Tantai Mingzhu, sitting on Jun Xiaoyao's other side, muttered, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of disgust.
Although she knew that this man was very likely the person Tantai Qingxuan had met in that Minor Thousand Worlds before.
However, his challenging Jun Xiaoyao was an unforgivable sin.
After all, Tantai Mingzhu had completely become Jun Xiaoyao's fangirl.
She was like a crazy fan who mindlessly defended her idol.
"Chu Xiao, don't get excited yet. This is my ancestor's birthday banquet..."
Tantai Qingxuan also bit her lip, torn.
Although Chu Xiao's arrival surprised her greatly,
Chu Xiao's actions right now were simply too abrupt and reckless.
Jun Xiaoyao had done nothing from beginning to end.
He was merely sitting with her and got dragged into this.
Tantai Qingxuan felt a sense of guilt.
She also felt that Chu Xiao was indeed a bit reckless.
"Qingxuan, this doesn't concern you." Chu Xiao still looked at Jun Xiaoyao.
This concerned his dignity as a man.
"Presumptuous! The Young Lord isn't bothering with you, yet you're being aggressive!"
"Since you want to compete, then I'll compete with you!"
Yun Qinglin reprimanded, directly stood up, and flashed towards Chu Xiao, pressing down on him.
Of course, he didn't intend to kill him, as it was inappropriate for someone to die at a birthday banquet.
He only intended to teach Chu Xiao a lesson.
Seeing Yun Qinglin make a move, Chu Xiao's eyes flashed, and he also attacked simultaneously.
The moment he attacked, Chu Xiao's Qi completely erupted.
"The Qi of a Great Heavenly Venerate, how is that possible!"
When this Qi erupted, the entire hall was shocked.
Because Chu Xiao didn't seem very old.
He was definitely not older than Prodigies like Xiahou Zhen and Yun Qinglin.
But at this age, he had already Cultivated to the Great Heavenly Venerate realm.
It could be said that this was almost the standard of top Prodigies from an Immortal Force.
"Oh?"
Yun Qinglin was also extremely surprised.
He no longer dared to underestimate his opponent and immediately activated his Azure King Body.
Instantly, vast azure light surged, as if patterns of the Dao appeared.
Yun Qinglin wanted to suppress Chu Xiao with one move.
Bang!
However, after one collision,
It was Yun Qinglin who was pushed back.
Seeing this scene, Cultivators from all forces present were astonished.
Although Yun Qinglin wasn't the most top-tier Prodigy of the Yun Clan Emperor Clan,
He still possessed the Azure King Body, yet he was repelled.
This was very surprising.
However, being repelled was not being defeated, so everyone still watched.
Tantai Qingxuan covered her lips with her jade hand, greatly surprised.
One had to know that others were not clear about Chu Xiao's matters.
But Tantai Qingxuan was clear.
Just over a year ago, Chu Xiao was only at the Supreme Cultivation level.
Now, after just over a year, how could he possess the Cultivation of a Great Heavenly Venerate?
Tantai Qingxuan was utterly astonished.
"You..."
Seeing himself pushed back, Yun Qinglin's expression was slightly unsightly.
It was one thing to have lost to Xiahou Zhen before.
After all, Xiahou Zhen was at least the current King of the Xiahou Emperor Clan.
But now, was he going to lose to an unknown person from who knows where?
Boom!
Yun Qinglin activated his Azure King Body and attacked again.
The two collided, and instantly, hundreds of thousands of moves passed.
Jun Xiaoyao, meanwhile, remained calm, sipping tea and observing.
Chu Xiao, whether in combat capabilities or Divine Ability techniques, was incredibly proficient.
He gave the impression of an old antique who had Cultivated for many years.
This made Jun Xiaoyao's gaze deepen, and he faintly had a guess.
And at a certain moment,
Suddenly, a glimmer of light seemed to flash in Chu Xiao's eyes.
That glimmer of light carried a strange fluctuation.
Others couldn't sense it.
But Yun Qinglin, as his opponent, felt it.
His attacking Divine Ability seemed to have a momentary delay.
Although it was only an extremely subtle pause, not even a breath's time,
For this kind of confrontation, it was enough to be fatal.
Chu Xiao seized the Opportunity, his eyes sharp, as keen as a blade.
Yun Qinglin was also a member of the Yun Clan Emperor Clan.
Then, he was also an enemy of his Chu Clan Emperor Clan!
Although Chu Xiao couldn't kill Yun Qinglin on the spot,
He had to at least give him a profound lesson.
He directly attacked, aiming for Yun Qinglin's vital points.
Because of that instantaneous pause, Yun Qinglin immediately fell into a passive state and was about to be hit in a vital spot.
"Am I going to lose today?" Yun Qinglin couldn't believe it.
His own embarrassment was minor.
But it would bring shame to the entire Yun Clan Emperor Clan.
Just at this critical moment,
Suddenly, Chu Xiao felt as if the surrounding space had solidified.
Even his Divine Ability seemed to have frozen.
A white-robed figure appeared directly between him and Yun Qinglin.
"Since Fellow Daoist Chu is so eager to fight me, then this Young Lord cannot refuse."
