Chapter 124 - 124: Night Talk with Ah Jiu, Youming Tian Annihilated, Xiao Chen's Crazed Actions

After leaving the imperial palace, Jun Xiaoyao returned to the quiet and secluded courtyard.

He planned to refine these Immortal Origin pieces and then use a communication jade slip to ask Jun Zhangjian about Xiao Chen's whereabouts.

He always felt that there was still a greater secret hidden behind Xiao Chen.

However, Jun Xiaoyao was merely curious.

Currently, Xiao Chen posed absolutely no threat to him anymore.

After understanding this secret, Jun Xiaoyao could pretty much slap this ant to death with a single palm.

Just as Jun Xiaoyao returned to the courtyard, the gurgling sound of a qin suddenly arose.

Jun Xiaoyao's gaze shifted upwards.

He saw, atop a pavilion, a peerlessly beautiful woman in grey clothes, sitting cross-legged and playing the qin.

A crescent moon襯映 (chènyìng - set off by contrast/serve as a foil to) the woman, making her appear like an immortal in a painting.

Although her grey clothes were not ornate, they couldn't hide her peerless beauty.

It was Ah Jiu.

Jun Xiaoyao stood silently where he was, listening, without disturbing her.

That qin music, it lacked the gentleness of a woman; instead, it carried a sense of heroic spirit.

He seemed to see in the qin music a peerless figure in white, standing between heaven and earth.

With leisurely steps, he suppressed Archaic Royal Clans and struck at forbidden zones of life.

Behind that figure, there were eight other peerless figures, each suppressing a region, their might awe-inspiring to the world.

This scene, presumably, referred to his father, the White-Robed Divine King Jun Wuhui, and his subordinates, the Eight Followers of the Divine King.

When the piece ended, Jun Xiaoyao seemed to still be savoring it with his eyes closed.

Only after a long while did he open his eyes.

"Jun always thought that his own qin skills, while not unparalleled in the world, were at least among the best. Only after hearing senior's qin music did I realize I was a frog in a well."

"Senior's qin music can already integrate stories within it," Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.

Ah Jiu looked at Jun Xiaoyao. A gentle breeze blew past, lifting some of the black hair in front of her face, revealing a small part of her crystalline, peerless countenance.

"Young Master, please don't be like this. Just call me Ah Jiu."

Although in terms of seniority and strength, Ah Jiu was countless times higher than Jun Xiaoyao, her words were very humble, and she regarded herself as a Dao Protector.

Only because Jun Xiaoyao was the sole heir of her master.

"Ah... Jiu." Jun Xiaoyao was somewhat unaccustomed to it.

After all, Ah Jiu's status was too high.

Although she wasn't a Jun family member, because she was Jun Wuhui's follower, her status in the Jun family was very high.

Let alone being a Dao Protector, generally, if anything happened, the Jun family wouldn't disturb Ah Jiu; she was free to do as she pleased.

But this time, Ah Jiu had voluntarily offered to become Jun Xiaoyao's Dao Protector.

Even those Jun family elders were very surprised.

Because previously, the Jun family's First Sequence, that renowned double-pupiled individual, had wanted to invite Ah Jiu out of seclusion to become his master.

That's right, that First Sequence didn't even dare to think of having Ah Jiu as a Dao Protector.

As long as she could become his master, the double-pupiled one would have been content.

Because Ah Jiu possessed double pupils, she was perfectly suited to be the master of a double-pupiled individual.

But Ah Jiu refused, completely uninterested in becoming the master of the double-pupiled one.

And now, she had voluntarily offered to become Jun Xiaoyao's follower. (Translator's note: The text here says "follower" while previously it said "Dao Protector". This is a direct translation of the provided text.)

The difference in attitude was significant.

Hearing Jun Xiaoyao call her Ah Jiu, a faint smile touched the corners of Ah Jiu's lips.

With one smile, she outshone all the beauties in the world.

Even someone like Jun Xiaoyao, a "steel straight man" immune to feminine charms, was slightly stunned.

At the same time, a somewhat strange thought surfaced in his mind.

His father, could it be that he selected subordinates based on their looks?

Shaking his head slightly, Jun Xiaoyao knew this idea was absurd.

"So similar..." Ah Jiu suddenly said.

Those double pupils, in which stars revolved and chaos opened and closed, now carried a hint of reminiscence.

Jun Xiaoyao was too similar to his father.

Both peerless in white, both transcendent and extraordinary.

"Ah Jiu, my father, what exactly is his situation now?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

He was too curious about this.

Ten years ago, what happened that made his father leave?

Ah Jiu shook her head slightly, "Since your relatives haven't told you, Ah Jiu has nothing to disclose either."

"However, Young Master, don't be anxious. I believe it won't be long before you catch up to the Master's pace and be no weaker than the Master," Ah Jiu said.

Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.

This remarkable woman who could contend with the Panwu Divine Lord.

In front of him, however, she was amiable and humble.

Jun Xiaoyao knew that a large part of this was because he was Jun Wuhui's son.

But Jun Xiaoyao didn't mind.

In the future, he would naturally make Ah Jiu follow him, wholeheartedly, not because of any other reason.

In the following days, Jun Xiaoyao was constantly refining Immortal Origin.

Over fifty pieces of Immortal Origin allowed Jun Xiaoyao to refine another three Da Luo Immortal Bones.

And in the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, various news about Jun Xiaoyao had long since spread like wildfire.

Moreover, a shocking major event was also revealed.

The Jun family dispatched an army, along with a group of clan elders, and even Supreme experts, to annihilate Youming Tian.

As an infamous assassin organization in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, Youming Tian was elusive, with no fixed stronghold.

They were like reapers hidden in the darkness; ordinary people couldn't even find their traces.

Previously, some immortal forces, whose younger generations had been assassinated by Youming Tian, had also sought revenge.

In the end, not only did they fail to completely eradicate Youming Tian, but they also suffered bloody retaliation from Youming Tian, with countless casualties among their younger disciples.

But this time, it wasn't just the Jun family acting.

The Desolate Ancient Jiang family, this behemoth, also contributed.

After all, Jun Xiaoyao was also considered half a Jiang family member.

The Jun family invited an expert from the Jiang family skilled in heavenly divination to deduce the various strongholds of Youming Tian.

Then, the Jun family acted decisively, uprooting the entire Youming Tian!

Even several of Youming Tian's top assassin Supremes were slain by the Jun family's Eighteenth Ancestor and others.

For a time, the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain was shaken.

Although Youming Tian was not an immortal force, it was considered one of the strongest forces beneath immortal forces.

And yet, such a terrifying force was uprooted by the Jun family in a short period, and all Youming Tian members were slaughtered.

This dominant posture once again let everyone know the power of the Jun family.

And that the Jun family's Divine Son could not be casually provoked.

The Jun family didn't care about contention among peers.

But if various schemes were used to frame Jun Xiaoyao, then what awaited would be the Jun family's terrifying retaliation.

Jun Xiaoyao only learned of this news a few days later.

He tsked in admiration.

This was the benefit of being born into a top-tier family.

No need to fear threats from any force, nor worry about any old antiques acting against him.

Jun Xiaoyao just needed to cultivate peacefully, continue to be invincible, and sweep through the prodigies of all clans.

And just at this moment, the communication jade slip suddenly reacted.

After Jun Xiaoyao took it out, Jun Zhangjian's voice came through.

"Divine Son, you definitely wouldn't believe what heinous things that Xiao Chen has done!"

Next, scenes of bloody and cruel images were transmitted to Jun Xiaoyao.

In the images, one village after another was slaughtered clean.

Xiao Chen, covered in blood, had a devilish, savage grin on his face.

Beside him lay numerous corpses, men and women, old and young.

Because Jun Zhangjian couldn't alert the enemy, he only recorded from a distance and transmitted it to Jun Xiaoyao.

"It seems the extent of this Xiao Chen's madness still exceeds my expectations. What is his purpose?" Jun Xiaoyao pondered.

This was simply like a sacrificial ritual.

Was he trying to summon some great evil god?

"Regardless, such a scene should be shown to Wu Mingyue."

"Let her see what kind of face the righteous, kind, and tenacious Xiao Chen in her heart truly has!"
