Starting with Check-In Sacred Body of the Ancients-Chapter 89: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes is About to Appear
Chapter 89 - 89: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes is About to Appear
Several thousand li beyond the imperial capital of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom, there was a city.
The city had already been occupied by the allied forces of the three great ancient kingdoms.
The rulers of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise kingdoms stood with their hands respectfully at their sides.
Directly above, from within a curtained bed, a voice carried a cold fury.
"To think you actually failed! Your million-strong allied army couldn't even conquer a tiny Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom!"
"You didn't bring this Marquis the compass component, nor did you bring that Bai Yu'er. Are you all useless trash!"
The voice was incomparably furious, filled with a chilling intent.
The Azure Dragon Ruler and the others all lowered their heads slightly, remaining silent.
They had long grown accustomed to the unpredictable, irascible, and furious temperament of that "Young Master."
Being berated like this, the dignified Saints, the White Tiger Ruler and the Black Tortoise Ruler, had faces that alternated between pale and green, secretly gritting their teeth.
But upon seeing the four dark figures standing around them, the anger in their hearts turned into helplessness.
"Divine Son of the Jun family, Jun Xiaoyao, hah... Does he really think he's someone important?" The voice carried a chilling intent.
Jun Xiaoyao's status, position, and strength were indeed rarely matched.
But that didn't mean no one could contend with him.
Although the Jun family was incredibly prosperous and glorious, it couldn't dominate the entire Immortal Domain with one hand.
This Young Master refused to believe that.
"Pass down the order! Reorganize the army! In three days, this Marquis will personally lead the expedition. Let's see if that Divine Son of the Jun family will give this Marquis face!" the voice commanded coldly. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"Yes, we obey." The Azure Dragon Ruler and the others cupped their hands, then retreated from the grand hall.
"As long as I gather the final component, I can obtain the complete bronze compass. At that time, it will be extremely helpful for exploring the Bronze Immortal Hall."
"No one can obstruct this Marquis, not even the Divine Son of the Jun family!"
...
Night fell.
In the imperial palace of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom, within a luxurious building.
The gentle sound of a qin faintly drifted from the pavilion, and upon hearing it, one's mind felt refreshed and at ease, as if transcending.
Inside the pavilion, Jun Xiaoyao sat cross-legged on a couch, the Fengming Qishan qin resting on his lap.
His fair, slender fingers plucked the seven strings, the qin music悠然 (leisurely and carefree).
This piece was one of the ten famous ancient qin melodies Jun Xiaoyao had heard in his previous life, "High Mountains and Flowing Water."
Listening to it seemed to soothe any agitated state of mind.
Jun Xiaoyao hadn't taken that so-called "Young Master" to heart at all, appearing very leisurely and at ease.
As Jun Xiaoyao played the qin, he also faintly sensed a subtle fluctuation of spiritual soul.
"Is it my mysterious Dao Protector?" Jun Xiaoyao murmured.
His Dao Protector also seemed to use qin music as a means of attack.
Hearing Jun Xiaoyao play the qin at this moment, it was inevitable that a slight fluctuation would be revealed.
After the piece ended, that mysterious Dao Protector still hadn't appeared.
However, there was a knock on the door.
"Enter," Jun Xiaoyao said lightly.
Bai Yu'er, dressed in a red gauze skirt, walked in carrying tea.
"Divine Son, please have some tea," Bai Yu'er said in an obedient tone.
Bai Yu'er offered the tea, secretly peeking at Jun Xiaoyao.
At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao, playing the qin, had a different kind of aura, appearing even more peerlessly otherworldly.
"Mm." Jun Xiaoyao put away the Fengming Qishan and took the tea.
He took a light sip.
Bai Yu'er bit her lip slightly and said, "Divine Son, my Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom has a specialty, the Vermilion Bird Spirit Spring. Would the Lord Divine Son like to try it?"
"Mm, alright." Jun Xiaoyao nodded.
Isn't this just a hot spring?
Bai Yu'er showed her delight and led Jun Xiaoyao to the Vermilion Bird Spirit Spring.
In the depths of the imperial palace, there was a spring eye, gurgling with warm spiritual energy.
Spiritual mist curled, like a fairyland.
It had to be said, this Bai Yu'er was indeed quite perceptive, knowing that Jun Xiaoyao enjoyed soaking in hot springs.
...
A short three days passed.
During this time, the entire Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom still hadn't relaxed its vigilance.
However, with Jun Xiaoyao and the Four Guards of Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain present, the hearts of the people in the entire ancient kingdom were clearly much more settled.
Jun Xiaoyao had been quite leisurely these past few days, either playing the qin or going to soak in the hot springs.
At this moment, in the Vermilion Bird Spirit Spring, Jun Linglong was making tea by his side, attending to him.
Jun Xiaoyao said lightly, "If that fellow doesn't come soon, I'll have to go find him."
"Hehe, that person is probably wary of Young Master too, but he shouldn't give up so easily," Jun Linglong chuckled.
Sure enough, just at this moment, Jun Xuehuang outside announced, "Reporting to the Divine Son, the allied forces of the three great ancient kingdoms are once again advancing towards the imperial capital."
"Finally here? You've kept me waiting."
Jun Xiaoyao stood up, and Jun Linglong thoughtfully helped him change his clothes.
Dressed in white robes, spotless as snow, Jun Xiaoyao had a playful smile on his face.
"Let this Divine Son see just who this so-called Young Master really is..."
