SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

"What exactly is going on here? You better give an explanation."

Scarface Lord Four turned to look at the people from the three Guardian families with an unfriendly expression.

If not for the Guardians' special status, he would have already slapped Cai Ji to death.

"Cai Ji, what exactly is going on? Quickly explain to Lord Four," Cai Chong coldly demanded.

These elders had all been in seclusion deep within the Imperial City, constantly observing the border situation.

They weren't very clear about the family's situation.

"This... this..." Cai Ji's throat choked, unable to speak.

"It seems you want to be locked in the dungeon," Scarface Lord Four said coldly.

Hearing this, Cai Ji's body violently trembled.

What kind of place was the dungeon?

It was where foreign realm criminals were imprisoned, and being locked inside was worse than death.

"I'll talk, I'll talk!"

Cai Ji could only grit his teeth and explain what he knew.

After he finished, Elder Cai Chong's face immediately became extremely gloomy.

Disgrace!

Absolute disgrace!

As descendants of a heroic family, of the Guardians.

These descendants actually thought about kowtowing to others for protection, then abandoning the border.

This wasn't just tarnishing their ancestors' glory.

It was betraying the beliefs of the Guardian lineage!

The belief of the Guardian lineage was to shed blood and sacrifice for the Immortal Realm, eternally guarding the border.

"How foolish!" Elder Cai Chong sighed deeply.

Perhaps it was because the Immortal Realm had been peaceful for too long.

War hadn't occurred for so long that the younger generation had forgotten who had fought for this harmonious territory.

Without the ancestors' bloodshed, how could later generations enjoy peace?

Scarface Lord Four's expression was also very cold as he said in a deep voice: "It seems you all only want to enjoy your ancestors' glory, but are unwilling to bleed and sacrifice like them."

"No, that's not it, I..." Cai Ji's face flushed red.

Even a mighty quasi-Supreme Being had his conviction shaken by these words.

"Sigh, this is all our families' fault. Young Friend Xiao Yao, we apologize," Elder Cai Chong and the others slightly bowed to Jun Xiao Yao.

By all accounts, they were in the wrong.

Seeing the elders' attitude, Jun Xiao Yao's expression softened slightly.

Although some spoiled brats had emerged among these families' younger generation.

These elders still had their convictions.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have remained guarding the border.

Jun Xiao Yao also lightly bowed and said: "Seniors need not be like this. Since the main culprit is already dead, just return my people and we'll consider the matter settled."

Jun Xiao Yao wasn't one to drag things out unnecessarily.

"Of course, quickly go bring the people here!" Cai Chong hurriedly nodded.

The Cai family sent people to bring Yu Chan Juan and the Moon Jade Rabbit.

"This matter cannot end just like this. Rewards and punishments must be clear."

"Next time if war breaks out at the foreign realm battlefield, your three families will charge at the front!" Scarface Lord Four said sternly.

"Yes." Elder Cai Chong and the others didn't object.

Cai Ji opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back.

In a cruel place like the foreign realm battlefield.

Even Supreme Beings had a high chance of perishing.

But he didn't dare to object and could only accept his fate.

"Young Friend Xiao Yao, I apologize. You just arrived at the Imperial City and encountered such an unpleasant incident," Scarface Lord Four said, feeling embarrassed.

After all, this was his territory, yet the son of his benefactor received such treatment.

He felt ashamed.

"Senior is too kind. I should thank you for your help," Jun Xiao Yao smiled, modest as a gentleman.

Looking at Jun Xiao Yao, Scarface Lord Four's eyes showed satisfaction.

Like father, like son.

When it was time to act, he was decisive and resolute without hesitation.

But when it was time to be modest, he was as gentle as a gentleman.

With such temperament, talent, and strength.

No wonder Jun Xiao Yao was a once-in-eternity prodigy.

"By the way, as compensation, Young Friend Xiao Yao can go to the Merit Hall and choose one item for free," Scarface Lord Four said with a smile.

Hearing the words "Merit Hall," the surrounding cultivators from the Original Imperial City immediately had their eyes turn red.

They revealed excited and eager gazes.

That was a place all border cultivators dreamed of entering.

Seeing the confusion in Jun Xiao Yao's eyes, Scarface Lord Four explained.

"Although the foreign realm has been dormant for a long time without launching large-scale attacks, small frictions and small-scale wars still occur from time to time."

"The Merit Hall was established long ago, containing many immortal powers, ancient teachings, supreme dynasties, and primordial family heritage techniques."

"There are also various treasures obtained from the foreign realm battlefield or the Divine Ruins World, foreign realm scriptures, ancient weapons, and so on."

"However, all of these can only be exchanged with merit points."

"And merit points can only be obtained by killing foreign realm beings."

Jun Xiao Yao nodded, understanding.

"As compensation for you, young friend, you can choose one item for free," Scarface Lord Four said.

"Thank you, senior."

Jun Xiao Yao didn't stand on ceremony and agreed.

An opportunity for free stuff shouldn't be missed.

After Jun Xiao Yao temporarily settled in the Imperial City, he would visit the Merit Hall.

Before long, people from the Cai family brought two beauties, one tall and one small.

"Master!"

The Moon Jade Rabbit saw Jun Xiao Yao and cried out loudly, her coral-red brilliant eyes filled with tears.

With a rabbit kick, she rushed to Jun Xiao Yao, throwing herself into his arms like a returning swallow.

"Wuwu, Master, I finally see you~"

"During the days apart from Master, little Jade even lost her appetite for carrots," the Moon Jade Rabbit said.

"Really? Then I must be terribly guilty," Jun Xiao Yao laughed, rubbing the Moon Jade Rabbit's silver hair and fluffy rabbit ears.

"Yes! So Master must compensate little Jade!" the Moon Jade Rabbit righteously declared.

"How should I compensate?"

"Pet me every day, stroke my fur, and... little Jade wants to eat many carrots, orange carrots, white carrots, green carrots..."

The little rabbit counted on her fingers.

Jun Xiao Yao smiled.

He really liked this adorable pet.

"Master, I've troubled you again," Yu Chan Juan stepped forward, her pretty face blushing, somewhat embarrassed.

After all, Jun Xiao Yao had already saved her from the Tenth Golden Crow Prince before.

Now she had to be rescued by Jun Xiao Yao again.

She felt quite embarrassed.

"It's fine, just a small matter," Jun Xiao Yao waved his hand.

For him, it truly was a small matter.

"But the trouble might not end here. I heard that Cai Song said he has the backing of a mysterious noble person," Yu Chan Juan said with some guilt.

She didn't want Jun Xiao Yao to get into more trouble.

"I already have more than one or two enemies, one more doesn't make a difference," Jun Xiao Yao didn't take it to heart.

Too many debts don't weigh one down.

As long as one is strong enough, one enemy or a hundred enemies makes little difference.

Looking at Jun Xiao Yao's calm and transcendent demeanor, Yu Chan Juan's crystal-clear beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of fascination and admiration.

A man's understated confidence was truly attractive.

"Chan Juan has no way to repay you. I am willing to follow Master and join the Jun Imperial Court to serve you."

Yu Chan Juan bowed deeply to Jun Xiao Yao.

With this bow, her curves became visible.

White enough to dazzle.

Large enough to shock.

Perfect in curvature.

Jun Xiao Yao understood why so many people coveted Yu Chan Juan's body.

The Holy Moon Physique really had an amazing figure!

The matter was considered settled.

Scarface Lord Four looked at Jun Xiao Yao and said: "Young Friend Xiao Yao, settle temporarily in the Imperial City first. It probably won't be long before the Ultimate Trial Ground, the Divine Ruins World, opens again."

"At that time, I will take you there, and you will also have a formidable task."

"Formidable task?" Jun Xiao Yao was puzzled.

"Yes, it even concerns the survival of the border."

Scarface Lord Four's words made Jun Xiao Yao's expression become solemn.

It seemed this Ultimate Trial would not be simple, and would be many times more brutal than in previous eras.
