Chapter 839 Arrival of the Hidden Vein Prodigy
The atmosphere was so oppressive it was almost suffocating.
It was because this kind of confrontation was too rare.
The nine heirs of the Immortal Court's lineages were all extraordinary, absolute elites among the younger generation of the Immortal Court.
Not to mention that Ling Yuan was now the Young Sovereign of the Immortal Court, whose status had fundamentally changed compared to before.
On the Jun family's side, the three young titans had long been famous throughout the Ancient Path.
Jun Lingcang and Jun Moxiao might seem less prominent than Jun Xiaoyao.
But that was only relatively speaking.
Compared to other supreme forbidden geniuses, they were only stronger, never weaker!
This kind of confrontation between factions naturally attracted attention from all directions.
"Your Immortal Court is used to bullying with numbers. How about I face all of you myself?"
Jun Lingcang kept one hand behind his back.
His dual pupils no longer needed to be sealed with black cloth, making him look no different from ordinary people.
However, when Jun Lingcang's gaze swept across the nine heirs, his single pupil vaguely began to split, transforming into dual pupils.
That aura was like dividing heaven and earth, with a presence that shocked the heart.
"It seems my cousin has gained quite a bit," Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
There were previous rumors that Jun Lingcang had obtained the legacy of an ancient dual-pupil cultivator, which now appeared to be true.
"Having more people doesn't mean you can overwhelm us. Actually, I think Xiaoyao alone is enough to suppress all of you. Lingcang and I are just icing on the cake."
Jun Moxiao took a drink from the gourd hanging at his waist, appearing lazy and casual.
He seemed completely unconcerned about the nine heirs standing before him.
"I do hope you'll make a move, just don't disappoint me like before," Jun Xiaoyao said with a light sweep of his sleeve, his tone breezy and unconcerned.
Seeing the attitude of the three Jun family titans, all the cultivators present were tongue-tied.
Only they would dare to display such an attitude before the heirs of the Immortal Court.
"They truly are family, cut from the same cloth, even their tone is identical..." some cultivators remarked helplessly.
"Does the Jun family only produce arrogant people? Each one so carefree and willful, not taking anything seriously."
"Indeed, they all have the same irritating personality," Ancient Emperor's Son said with a gloomy expression.
Suddenly, at that moment.
Two more auras appeared from the distant sky.
This surprised many people, who turned to look.
Perhaps more people were coming to join the excitement.
Sensing these auras, a flash of surprise crossed Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
On the other side, Ancient Emperor's Son also had a strange look in his eyes.
Two figures, both with powerful auras that reached the level of supreme forbidden geniuses.
From the light, a man and a woman appeared.
The young man wore dark gold imperial robes, with a tall physique and dragon-phoenix bearing.
The woman wore an elegant dress that outlined her graceful figure, her face flawlessly beautiful, surrounded by flowers of the great Dao falling around her, making her appear like a female deity.
"Those are... Jun Yinhuang and Jun Qingyan from the Jun family's hidden branch!"
Some cultivators recognized the identities of these two people.
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flashed with an unusual light.
At this moment, he also saw Jun Lanxi in a blue dress waving at him from behind the two.
"So they truly are geniuses from the hidden branch."
Jun Lingcang and Jun Moxiao also looked over.
The Jun family's hidden branch was not much weaker than the main branch, equally powerful.
They had just always maintained a low profile, so outsiders weren't clear about their situation.
Now, with the arrival of two geniuses from the hidden branch, the situation became more complex.
Some cultivators present vaguely knew some details.
Although the hidden branch had split from the Jun family, it wasn't the antagonistic split people imagined.
They had simply gone their separate ways due to different ideologies.
Now, with the appearance of two geniuses from the hidden branch, what did it mean?
Could it be that the hidden branch was returning to the Jun family?
Thinking of this possibility, many cultivators felt alarmed.
The Jun family was already strong enough, with just the main branch being able to make the Immortal Court wary.
If the hidden branch returned, what then? Wouldn't they be able to divide the world with the Immortal Court?
Jun Yinhuang looked at Jun Xiaoyao, his gaze like mist, impossible to read.
Jun Qingyan, however, with her flawlessly beautiful face showing a faint smile, said, "I've long heard of the three cousins' fame. Seeing you today, you truly are outstanding."
Jun Xiaoyao and the others nodded lightly.
Ancient Emperor's Son glanced at Jun Yinhuang and the others, his eyes revealing contemplation.
Now, the nine heirs of the Immortal Court were on one side.
While the three titans of the Jun family, possibly joined by the two geniuses from the hidden branch, were on the other side.
This way, the Immortal Court's momentum would struggle to overwhelm the Jun family.
In fact, even with Jun Xiaoyao alone, the Immortal Court couldn't hope to overpower the Jun family in terms of presence.
"Everyone..."
At this moment, an elderly voice sounded.
It came from inside the Merit Hall.
It was an elder from the border, who said, "Conflict in front of the Merit Hall is inappropriate."
"Moreover, the ultimate trial is about to begin, and you will face challenges from foreign realms. Unless absolutely necessary, it's better not to fight among yourselves."
The elder's words eased the atmosphere.
The cold expression on Ancient Emperor's Son's face disappeared, replaced by a strange smile as he said, "Since the elder has spoken, let it be. Jun Xiaoyao, I hope you can maintain this invincible attitude in the Divine Void World."
Seeing this, Jun Xiaoyao replied calmly, "It seems you've already planned everything thoroughly. But you should know..."
"Before absolute strength, any scheme appears foolish and laughable."
"We shall see. It's always the swimmers who drown," Ancient Emperor's Son smiled.
Not only was he personally powerful with trump cards and techniques.
He had also prepared four killing moves to deal with Jun Xiaoyao.
If these couldn't make Jun Xiaoyao fall, then he would accept defeat.
Ancient Emperor's Son turned and left.
Looking at him, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flashed with a dark light.
He was indeed a formidable figure.
Not only was he extremely powerful, but he also had intelligence and wouldn't act rashly.
If born in another era, he would definitely be someone who could turn the world upside down and stand at the peak.
Unfortunately, he encountered Jun Xiaoyao.
One could only say that being born in the same era as Jun Xiaoyao was a tragedy.
Ling Yuan glanced at Jun Xiaoyao, seeming to want to say something but finding it inappropriate in public.
So she just snorted coldly and left.
Jun Xiaoyao knew that Ling Yuan was concerned about the mark on the inside of her thigh.
This could only be described as Jun Xiaoyao's wicked sense of humor.
Wei Qianqian looked at Jun Xiaoyao and shook her head.
Honestly, Jun Xiaoyao was exactly her type in terms of appearance, but unfortunately, he was on the opposing side.
Yao Qing, Cang Li, and others showed no expression.
However, Chi Long from the Chiyou Immortal Lineage looked at Jun Xiaoyao with hatred, but also a hint of complexity.
Jun Xiaoyao had killed Chi Lie.
But he had also allowed the geniuses of their Chiyou Immortal Lineage to briefly experience what it felt like to be superior.
These feelings were complicated.
As the nine heirs of the Immortal Court left, the atmosphere completely relaxed.
Jun Xiaoyao's gaze turned to Jun Yinhuang and Jun Qingyan.
"Let's go to my residence," Jun Xiaoyao said.
He knew that the appearance of these two heirs from the hidden branch.
Their true purpose was probably not to bolster the Jun family's momentum.
They had come with a purpose.
