Chapter 789: Chapter 787: The Secret Jiang Shengyi Keeps in Her Heart, Xuan Yue’s Struggle and Choice

"Sister Shengyi, your injuries..."

Looking at Jiang Shengyi’s wounds, Jun Xiaoyao furrowed his brow.

Even with the aid of Sacred Body Essence Blood, Jiang Shengyi still struggled to recover quickly.

At this moment, Yu Qingning spoke up, "Don’t worry, once Shengyi has fully received the Jasper Pool Purification and refined the Tribulation Crossing Immortal Lotus, not only will her injuries heal, but her talent and realm will undergo another transformation."

"That’s good, Sister Shengyi, go ahead and refine the opportunity here, I will see who dares to take it from you."

Jun Xiaoyao glanced around.

The group of Celestial Pride waiting to scavenge was instinctively taken aback and took a step back.

The Jasper Pool Purification and Tribulation Crossing Immortal Lotus are tempting, but one must consider whether they have the fate to take it.

Having witnessed how Jun Xiaoyao dealt with Princess Shen Can and others, only a fool would covet the Queen Mother of the West’s opportunity.

"All irrelevant people, leave immediately!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Jun Xiaoyao flicked his sleeve, and a thousand Celestial Prides hurriedly retreated, not daring to linger.

Only Feather Transformation King, Yu Yun Shang, and a few others remained.

"Sister Shengyi, go ahead," Jun Xiaoyao said.

Jiang Shengyi nodded slightly.

Everything Jun Xiaoyao did for her, she saw with her own eyes.

Although to outsiders, it seemed she sacrificed much for Jun Xiaoyao.

But Jun Xiaoyao never let her down.

It’s just because Jun Xiaoyao has his own path to walk and has no extra time for romance at the moment.

"Xiaoyao, don’t forget about Luo Li," Jiang Shengyi reminded him again.

"I understand," Jun Xiaoyao smiled.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shengyi glanced at Jun Xiaoyao and suddenly stepped forward, throwing herself into his arms.

Her jade-like arms tightly hugged Jun Xiaoyao’s body.

The intensity of her embrace seemed to blend Jun Xiaoyao with her.

"Sister Shengyi?"

"Xiaoyao, next time... don’t leave without saying goodbye, I’m afraid."

Jiang Shengyi’s voice carried a faint trace of sobbing.

Only she understood, the deep sense of loss and sadness when she awoke to find Jun Xiaoyao already embarked on the Ultimate Ancient Road alone.

It nearly hollowed out her heart.

"I’m sorry, Sister Shengyi, I won’t do it again," Jun Xiaoyao also embraced Jiang Shengyi’s fragrant shoulder.

This mature and intelligent woman, no matter the absolute hardship, faced everything with resilience.

Yet, because of his undetected departure, she was heartbroken and shed tears.

This proved Jun Xiaoyao’s absolute central place in Jiang Shengyi’s heart, unmatched by anyone.

Watching them embrace, for some reason, Yu Yun Shang suddenly felt her crush was so superficial.

Her eyes also turned red.

"Alright, Xiaoyao, you go, find Luo Li," Jiang Shengyi reluctantly released her jade-like arm.

Long butterfly-wing like curled eyelashes hung with a sparkling tear.

Her clear beautiful eyes gazed at Jun Xiaoyao, seemingly hesitant to say something.

"Forget it, better not tell Xiaoyao, lest he worry," Jiang Shengyi sighed inwardly.

She initially wanted to tell Jun Xiaoyao about the vision of Queen Mother of the West and Emperor Wu Zhong seen in the Illusion Realm.

Because that might be a way to cultivate the Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo.

Jun Xiaoyao’s complete Desolate Ancient Sacred Body was already monstrous; if he were to cultivate the Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo, he would undeniably be unparalleled even surpassing Emperor Wu Zhong.

But considering it might make Jun Xiaoyao worry, Jiang Shengyi remained silent.

That will be her secret kept in the depths of her heart.

If such a day really comes...

Jiang Shengyi gave Jun Xiaoyao a pale smile, said nothing, and then turned to enter the Jasper Pool.

The long-awaited reunion was encapsulated in a mere embrace.

"Brother Jun, you can rest assured and go, I don’t mind staying here a bit longer," Feather Transformation King said with a slight smile.

"Thank you," Jun Xiaoyao nodded.

He understood, Feather Transformation King intended to protect Jiang Shengyi during her vulnerable time.

With the Supreme Forbidden Celestial Pride Feather Transformation King standing guard, no blind Celestial Pride would dare disrupt Jiang Shengyi’s cultivation.

"Rest assured, with us here, no one will disturb her," Yu Yun Shang called.

"Mm, thank you," Jun Xiaoyao’s handsome face showed a faint smile and he nodded slightly to Yu Yun Shang.

Yu Yun Shang felt sweet in her heart, blushing.

Indeed...

She still wished to be Jun Xiaoyao’s second wife!

Jun Xiaoyao departed, heading to the Life and Death Sect to seek Jiang Luoli’s whereabouts.

Feather Transformation King and Yu Yun Shang remained to guard Jiang Shengyi.

Princess Shen Can, having turned into her true form, also behaved obediently since her life was in Jiang Shengyi’s hands.

Compared to others, Princess Shen Can was lucky enough to still have her life.

"Who would’ve thought that the Immortal Slayer Thief managed to escape, but considering her power, she couldn’t possibly take on Jun Xiaoyao," Princess Shen Can sighed.

After Jun Xiaoyao’s beating, she was completely subdued.

Elsewhere, within a secluded ancient cave.

A slender figure stumbled in, it was Immortal Slaying Thief Xuan Yue.

She leaned against the cave wall with one hand, removing the Ghost Face Mask she wore with the other.

As she removed the mask, blood dripped down.

A bloodstained face was revealed.

Her features were exquisite and unparalleled, as if painted with grace.

This was a face that could captivate any man.

No one would expect that the Immortal Slayer Thief, with blood on her hands, ruthless and unfeeling, under the Ghost Face Mask, would possess such an exceptionally beautiful maiden’s visage.

The entire face was extraordinarily lovely, yet her skin was pale like snow, devoid of color.

What caught attention was the teardrop-shaped mole at the corner of her eye.

Like a drop of fallen blood tears.

That blood tear mole added a touch of poignant beauty to the girl’s already refined and lovely face.

Currently, Xuan Yue coughed up blood, stumbling to the blood pool deep within the cave, and collapsed in it.

Black Order Divine Chains emerged, absorbing various treasure blood from the blood pool.

Xuan Yue’s injuries stabilized at last.

"Jun Xiaoyao... Jun Xiaoyao..."

Xuan Yue muttered the name repeatedly, as if bewitched.

Not only because Jun Xiaoyao was the first to hurt her this way.

But also due to the familiarity his brow and gestures conveyed.

When she saw Jun Xiaoyao protecting that Snow Robed woman, his cold unfeeling gaze fixing on her, she felt stung with jealousy or some indescribable emotional turmoil, heart wrenching as if pierced by needles.

That feeling was akin to someone closest to you being taken, then turning to harm you.

"No... he is not, just an illusion, brother is dead, killed by my own hands..."

Xuan Yue raised her trembling jade hand, the buried past surfaced like a nightmare.

She refused to believe there would be a second bloom identical in this world.

Yet, the woman from the Other Shore Organization told her, if she succeeded, she could access the Rebirth Reincarnation Cave of the Exotic Realm’s Other Shore Emperor Race.

Perhaps she could amend her past regrets.

But to achieve a supreme transformation, ascend the peak, she must integrate various supreme physiques.

Both Innate Dao Embryo and Desolate Ancient Sacred Body were undoubtedly top supreme physiques.

Moreover, she also fused the Emperor’s Seal of Daoist Proof and was one of the Seven Rebellious Emperors.

Which meant, she was destined for life and death opposition with Jun Xiaoyao!
