25: Chapter 25 The Great Xia Dynasty, Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family!

"Finally resolved."

Listening to the System's notification, Zhou Yuxuan finally let down his guard, silently sighing in his heart.

However, the slightly relaxed look on his face quickly vanished, as he had only resolved one minor Luck Protagonist in the Shengyuan World.

The Luck Protagonists who would destroy his Zhou Family in the future were not limited to just this Su Chen.

Immediately, Zhou Yuxuan said inwardly: "System, open the gift package!"

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Eye of Immortal Truth! Do you wish to perform the Fusion now?]

(Eye of Immortal Truth: A special Physique. Those who possess the Eye of Immortal Truth can see through the essence of all things in the world, perceiving every flaw and fatal weakness of others.)

Looking at the System's introduction to the Eye of Immortal Truth, Zhou Yuxuan was overjoyed.

"How lucky. With this Eye of Immortal Truth, I won't need to worry about my personal safety when heading to the Immortal Burying Mountain Range next!"

"Come to think of it, after Dongfang Lingyun returned from breaking off the engagement, Xiao Yan also entered the Immortal Burying Mountain Range to become stronger. Calculating the time, it should be about right; perhaps I might be able to kill him in the Immortal Burying Mountain Range."

"..."

Zhou Yuxuan muttered inwardly.

Following that, he first declined to perform the Fusion of the Eye of Immortal Truth onto himself right now.

After all, he was currently out and about, and he did not know what kind of phenomenon the Fusion of this Eye of Immortal Truth would cause, so he simply decided to save it for when he returned to the Tianyuan Holy Sect to perform the Fusion.

"Let's go!" Zhou Yuxuan picked up the Storage Pouch left behind after Su Chen's body was obliterated in mid-air, and said to Ye Yanran beside him.

"Yes, Master!" Ye Yanran now knew how terrifying Zhou Yuxuan was, and no longer felt any resistance to the title of 'Master', speaking from the bottom of her heart.

"Saint, Your Highness, wait! Wait!"

Just as the two were about to leave, a hurried shout suddenly came from behind.

"Valley Master Jin, is there anything else?"

Zhou Yuxuan turned his head and asked in a flat tone.

The aura of his entire person was completely devoid of the monstrous killing intent from just a moment ago; at a glance, he appeared just like a refined Young Master with no cultivation.

Jin Budao brought his daughter before Zhou Yuxuan and said respectfully.

"Just now, my daughter was very offensive and offended you, Saint, Your Highness. I have already punished her; I hope you, Saint, Your Highness, are magnanimous and will not blame her!"

"If that won't do... I, I am willing to let my daughter serve you, Saint, Your Highness, just to make amends!"

Jin Budao said very sincerely; at this moment, he was hoping that Zhou Yuxuan would agree.

After all, even he, the Valley Master of the Burning Flame Valley, had not seen the Holy Son of Tianyuan many times.

If Zhou Yuxuan agreed to let his daughter serve him, his own status within the territory under the jurisdiction of the Tianyuan Holy Sect would certainly rise by several levels.

Thinking of this, Jin Budao's gaze became faintly heated.

"Oh?" Zhou Yuxuan narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Jin Qiaoer.

At this moment, Jin Qiaoer's face was somewhat pale; clearly, she had suffered some injuries from the punishment earlier, and she was looking at him with a shy expression.

"Valley Master Jin, that is a good plan. However, I am about to enter the Immortal Burying Mountain Range. If you are willing to let your daughter accompany me inside, I can reluctantly agree."

Zhou Yuxuan said faintly.

As for why he made this decision, it was due to Jin Qiaoer's Physique.

In the original plot, Jin Qiaoer had a special Physique, and when entering the Immortal Burying Mountain Range, she could avoid being affected by some of the evil substances within.

This was originally Su Chen's Opportunity, but now that Su Chen was dead, it naturally belonged to him, Zhou Yuxuan.

"Good, I agree! Qiaoer is willing to follow you, Saint, into the Immortal Burying Mountain Range!" Jin Budao did not speak, but instead, Jin Qiaoer agreed very readily.

Seeing this, Jin Budao wanted to stop her, but looking at his daughter's determined expression, he swallowed the words that had reached his lips.

"Come up!" Zhou Yuxuan said to Jin Qiaoer, letting her board his cyan wood flying boat.

Ye Yanran, who was to the side, saw this and could not help but feel secretly angry.

"Damn it! This damned woman, why can she board Master's cyan wood flying boat just after meeting him, while I was scolded by Master when I boarded? It's so unfair!"

Unconsciously, Ye Yanran secretly developed a trace of hostility toward Jin Qiaoer, who was standing behind Zhou Yuxuan while holding his arm.

Seemingly having sensed something, Jin Qiaoer turned her head to look at Ye Yanran, revealing a charming smile as she said: "Sister Yanran, don't just stand there, lead the way in front!"

Hearing this, Ye Yanran's beautiful eyes grew even more filled with anger, and a smile appeared on her stunning face as she said: "Alright, Sister Qiaoer!"

Just like that, Ye Yanran led the way, flying on her sword.

...

At this moment, on the border of the Great Xia Dynasty,

A man wearing a strange black robe with an upright posture stood atop the highest ancient building in the city, gazing into the distance at a massive, ancient, and eerie mountain range outside the ancient city.

"Old Ancestor, I've heard that this Immortal Burying Mountain Range is very dangerous. I've heard that even experts in the Immortal Realm might not be able to walk out if they enter. Are you sure we really need to go in?"

A youthful but very determined voice sounded inwardly.

On the shoulder of this black-robed man, a mouse with white fur crawled out from who knows where.

"Squeak squeak! Kid, it's a shame you are a descendant of me, Xiao Xuanzi, to be so timid! You must know, back in the day, your Old Ancestor could walk as soon as I was born, started watching the widow in the next village bathe at one year old, and by three years old, I had made a name for myself as a 'Love Saint' across dozens of surrounding villages."

"By the time your Old Ancestor reached adulthood, the Saintesses of various Holy Lands and the ancient corpses in the forbidden zones all had some unknown past with me."

The mouse kept squeaking non-stop, and when it reached an exciting point, it even climbed onto the top of the black-robed man's head.

Looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, an invisible kingly aura radiated from this small mouse.

And this black-robed man was none other than Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family, who had just been broken off by Dongfang Lingyun not long ago.

"Cough cough! Old Ancestor, the past events you are talking about are not the same things as what this Junior is talking about, right!"

Xiao Yan had just whispered a reminder, when in the next second, the mouse on top of his head showed an angry expression.

Its tiny foot stomped hard on Xiao Yan's head.

Instantly, an incomparably powerful force traveled from Xiao Yan's head to his shoulders, and finally to the ancient building beneath his feet.

"Boom!!"

Instantly, the ancient building collapsed, turning into countless rubble, and the people who were originally eating, drinking, and having fun in the ancient building were instantly crushed into countless blood mists and meat paste by this unknown force.

Just from this scene, it was clear that the strength of this mouse was by no means as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Xiao Yan was also shocked by this display of his Old Ancestor's power.

"Kid, your Old Ancestor knows you are angry about being broken off in the engagement, but she is a Disciple of a major sect. For you to cross five or six major Realms in three years, starting from a mere Physical Body Third Layer, to defeat that woman—if you just Cultivate step-by-step, it is too difficult."

"Therefore, you must seek and seize those great Opportunities for it to be possible, and this Immortal Burying Mountain Range is your possibility!"

The small-bodied mouse now spoke a profound truth, which caused Xiao Yan, who had originally felt timid in his heart, to suddenly reveal a determined expression.

"Old Ancestor, I've decided, I will enter this Immortal Burying Mountain Range. I, Xiao Yan, will also be like you were back then, and turn the place upside down!"

"Good kid, your Old Ancestor didn't misjudge you after all!"

Xiao Yan did not speak again; he looked toward the east, in the direction of the Tianyuan Holy Sect, the place he was to go in three years.

He clenched his fists tightly and said inwardly.

"Dongfang Lingyun, I hope that after three years, you will not forget the day you slapped me in front of everyone in the Xiao Family and everything else you did."

"I, Xiao Yan, will definitely make you regret the decision you made that day for the rest of your life!"
