Chapter 653 Arrival of the Wind Clan's Dao Child
Amidst the Chaotic Star Sea, most areas were dangerous, with only the ancient cities being relatively safe.
Of course, these ancient cities were mostly located in the outer regions of the Chaotic Star Sea.
The central and inner regions of the Chaotic Star Sea were treacherous areas that couldn't be entered carelessly.
In some places, even Sacred Lords and Supreme Beings might encounter danger.
Giant Que City was a rather magnificent city in the outer rim of the Chaotic Star Sea.
In less than half a month, Jun Xiaoyao arrived at Giant Que City under the guidance of several talented youths.
Looking out, Giant Que City stretched across a small asteroid.
The city walls meandered like mountain ranges, forged from star-fallen iron, with ancient formation patterns imprinted upon them, faintly emitting radiance.
The city gates were immensely tall, with an endless flow of people coming and going.
Perhaps due to the summons from the Myriad Races Merchant Alliance, the foot traffic in Giant Que City was several times greater than usual.
On the way to Giant Que City, Jun Xiaoyao learned from those talented youths.
Although the Pit of Sin was filled with a mix of good and bad, with criminals and bandits everywhere.
The true rulers of the Pit of Sin were the Five Crime Lords.
Each was infamously powerful, with overwhelming strength, their hands stained with countless lives.
Among them, the First Crime Lord's true strength was unknown to all, but definitely above the Supreme Being level.
The reason why the First Crime Lord kidnapped the Xia family's second young lady, Xia Chuqing, was because he wanted to obtain the Xia family's imperial weapon, the Treasure Basin.
It was rumored that the Xia family's imperial weapon, the Treasure Basin, was obtained by the Xia family's eldest young lady, Xia Bingyun, through a chance encounter.
The Treasure Basin could contain all heavenly treasures and could even actively sense the location of heavenly treasures.
It could be said that the Treasure Basin played an indispensable role in the Xia family becoming the most prosperous giant in the Myriad Races Merchant Alliance.
And Xia Bingyun naturally became the most dazzling pearl of the Xia family.
Of course, she had another nickname, which was the Little Rich Lady of the Xia family.
As one of the giants of the Myriad Races Merchant Alliance, the Xia family's wealth and status were self-evident.
The Floating Cloud Young Master whom Jun Xiaoyao had killed earlier on the Tianming Ancient Star was at most a minor character in the Myriad Races Merchant Alliance.
Although the Myriad Races Merchant Alliance was immensely vast, it was a loose commercial organization with multiple giants within it.
The Xia family was just one of those giants.
This was why the First Crime Lord of the Pit of Sin dared to kidnap the Xia family's second young lady.
Because he knew that he was only offending the Xia family, not the entire Myriad Races Merchant Alliance.
Within the Myriad Races Merchant Alliance, there were even instances of giants secretly fighting against each other.
Other giants would be doing well not to kick them while they were down, let alone help the Xia family.
After Jun Xiaoyao and his group entered Giant Que City, they quickly arrived at the headquarters of the Myriad Races Merchant Alliance.
Many talented youths from the Imperial Road and various cultivators had already gathered there.
An elder of the Xia family, whose cultivation was at the Sacred King level, spoke loudly.
"Everyone, a group of criminals from the Pit of Sin have been audacious enough to kidnap our Xia family's second young lady and even attempt to obtain our Xia family's imperial weapon, the Treasure Basin."
"Our Xia family broadly invites all righteous individuals to join us in punishing the Pit of Sin. Every brother who participates will receive celestial sources, celestial marrow, and various sacred pills and divine weapons as rewards!"
Hearing the Xia family elder's words, many cultivators in the audience had fiery eyes.
Not all talented youths from the Imperial Road came from immortal forces.
Most talented youths were short on resources and tight on funds.
These rewards were naturally very attractive.
Only Jun Xiaoyao shook his head with a cold smile.
They just wanted to gather a bunch of cannon fodder, yet they spoke so righteously.
Dead people, of course, wouldn't need to be paid.
Of course, Jun Xiaoyao couldn't be bothered to expose this, those people dying had nothing to do with him.
"By the way, our Xia family's eldest young lady, Xia Bingyun, is temporarily cultivating somewhere and cannot come."
"If she arrives later, talented youths and cultivators who perform well may even receive a personal audience with the eldest young lady, and even rewards," the Xia family elder smiled slightly.
At this, the crowd's reaction was much more intense than before.
Everyone's eyes carried a burning heat.
Especially those young male talents, whose eyes flashed with bright light.
Getting a personal audience with the Xia family's eldest young lady, Xia Bingyun, what did that mean?
It meant that if one caught the eye of the Xia family's eldest young lady, there was a high possibility of marrying into the family!
After all, Xia Bingyun, as the precious pearl of the Xia family in the Myriad Races Merchant Alliance, had the title of Little Rich Lady.
Who wouldn't want to say, "Rich lady, I don't want to work hard anymore"?
If one could truly be favored by Xia Bingyun, all sorts of cultivation resources, heavenly materials, divine weapons, and supreme tools would be available in abundance!
"I must personally rescue the Xia family's second young lady, that way I'll definitely get an audience with the Xia family's eldest young lady."
"With your abilities? If it were that easy to rescue her, would the Xia family need to make such a big fuss?" Many talented youths argued.
"Alright, everyone, those who have decided to join the expedition, please register here. Seven days later, we will depart fully equipped," the Xia family elder waved his hand.
Afterward, many talented youths and cultivators registered.
Not to mention the rewards, just the possibility of meeting Xia Bingyun was enough to make many talented youths take a gamble.
Risking it all for one bet, they might be able to live off someone else and save a hundred years of hard work.
Of course, this was the thinking of ordinary talented youths.
For someone of Jun Xiaoyao's caliber.
The only one qualified to support him would be someone like Luo Shen Mifei, a forbidden-level mythical empress.
Even the Little Demon Empress of the Demon God Palace no longer had the qualifications to support Jun Xiaoyao.
————
Because Jun Xiaoyao's identity as the lord of the Jun Imperial Court alone was enough to match the Little Demon Empress.
Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao and his group registered, of course not using their real names.
Otherwise, they would have caused a sensation long ago.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
Seven days later, a fleet of massive starships docked beside Giant Que City.
Each starship was hundreds of feet long, with various defensive formations imprinted on the hull.
On the deck, numerous attack formations were imprinted, which could be activated with celestial sources in critical moments to unleash terrifying destructive power.
Jun Xiaoyao glanced around and nodded slightly.
As expected of a giant of the Myriad Races Merchant Alliance, the Xia family's foundation and financial power were impressive.
Of course, they couldn't be compared to the Jun family.
Jun Xiaoyao could also sense that on several main ships, there was a vague aura of Supreme Beings permeating.
These must be the Supreme Being experts of the Xia family, who would later possibly confront the First Crime Lord and others.
"Let's go, just find any ship to board," Jun Xiaoyao said to Yan Rumeng.
His main purpose for going to the Pit of Sin was not to rescue the Xia family's second young lady, Xia Chuqing.
But to find the base of the Thirteen Great Bandits.
So he was indifferent to this rescue operation.
As for living off Xia Bingyun, with Jun Xiaoyao's status, he wouldn't stoop to that level.
And if Jun Xiaoyao really wanted to live off someone, he wouldn't need to do anything, just take off his ghost mask and place that handsome face in front of Xia Bingyun.
It would be hard for her not to be moved.
"Master, let us follow you," the few young talented youths also approached.
The female talented youth who spoke was named Song Fei.
After witnessing Jun Xiaoyao casually killing the sacred cultivator bandits, they felt that he was a very thick, very thick thigh that needed to be tightly held onto.
Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
When the battle began, he could simply leave them behind.
Jun Xiaoyao and his group boarded a secondary ship, clearly the cannon fodder type.
Just then, a green warship suddenly approached from the distance, moving at an incredible speed.
"That is... the warship of the supreme clan, the Wind Clan!" a talented youth exclaimed upon seeing the warship.
The Xia family elders, seeing this, also showed solemn expressions and hurriedly went forward to welcome them.
In this expedition against the Pit of Sin, those talented youths and cultivators who had been gathered were merely cannon fodder.
The real help for the Xia family would still be the Wind Clan.
Moreover, this time, the Wind Clan's Dao Child should also have come.
He was one of Xia Bingyun's pursuers and wouldn't miss this opportunity to please Xia Bingyun.
