127: Jun family, come if you have the guts
Of course, Jun Lingxiao didn't need to personally deal with the so-called slaughter of exotic beasts.
Even the Jun Family members didn't participate.
The Chu Family's swords were sparking from all the hacking, and when they turned to see the Jun Family enjoying the scenery, they were so enraged, lamenting how different people could be!
"Your Highness, this...?"
Are your Jun Family members not going to make a move?
After a long period of contemplation, Chu Gaodan looked at Jun Lingxiao tentatively and said, though he didn't voice the latter part of his thought.
He had originally intended to have his Disciples work hard and give all the excess to Jun Lingxiao, giving up their ranking in this Secret Realm to curry favor with Jun Lingxiao.
But looking at the current situation, even if they gave all the excess to them, it wouldn't be enough!
Nearly two hundred Disciples from the Jun Family entered this time. Even if calculated as two hundred, the Chu Family would have to hack for five days to get all these people out.
But the key is that the first stage of the Secret Realm ends in two days.
The time of a Prodigy is precious. The first stage is only three days, enough for those Prodigies and Prodigies to find what they need and leave gracefully. Otherwise, they can only wait for the Secret Realm to automatically open a month later.
However, the various ranking rewards at that time would definitely not be as good as those in the first stage.
Although these Dao inheritance successors of the Ten Chiefs Family would certainly not care for those rewards, if they couldn't gather enough tokens, they would be trapped here for a month!
Could it be that Jun Lingxiao genuinely wasn't worried at all?
Or was he planning to leave alone?
Chu Gaodan was truly at a loss.
"Someone will send me tokens."
Jun Lingxiao said mysteriously, then continued to sit there teasing Baiyu, while Jun Siyu leaned on his shoulder, asleep.
"Someone will send?" Chu Gaodan was full of doubt, pondering for a long time but unable to grasp Jun Lingxiao's meaning.
"There's no need to put so much thought into it. There are so many villains in the world, why can't they be mine?" After speaking, Jun Lingxiao smiled mysteriously and then said no more.
Grandpa always said he was too low-key and gentle, not domineering enough.
Alright then, let's be a bit more domineering. He's already a villain, so being an evil person isn't so bad.
"You mean to snatch them?"
Chu Gaodan lowered his head and thought for a moment, but Jun Lingxiao didn't seem like he was going to snatch anything right now, did he?
After thinking about it, he stopped. He could only try to get as many tokens as possible in these two days.
"Lingxiao, you sensed it too, didn't you? That aura."
As Chu Gaodan left, the voice of Senior Jun Yongzheng came from Jun Lingxiao's Sea of Consciousness.
The Sacred Tablet had not disappeared; instead, it had directly entered his Sea of Consciousness, along with the 1345 successive Human Emperors.
"Judging by this feeling, it should be the remnant soul of a certain Family, but the other party is deliberately hiding, so I can't detect who it is."
"Who else could it be? There are only a few with such a solidified Emperor Realm aura, one of the Ten Chiefs."
"Who did he offend? It looks like he's going to make a move on you."
"We're all old bones; who would provoke such a remnant soul for no reason? He probably provoked the other party's successor."
"Should we make a move? Although it's a bit troublesome, given the other party's stance, it probably won't end well."
"Ridiculous! Do we still need to end it well? Let's just go up and beat him up!"
Now, the voices in Jun Lingxiao's mind were growing. The original Great Dao Voice now included an entire Human Emperor Dao Field.
However, Jun Lingxiao listened with a relaxed smile.
"No need."
"Let him come over himself."
In fact, there was no need to guess; it was clear that the source of this aura was Qin Chengan.
Since he could detect the other party, the other party must have also sensed that Jun Lingxiao was not simple, which is why he hadn't made any rash moves.
"He didn't directly rush over for revenge even after Ling Tian stripped him of so many things, not even showing his face. It seems that becoming one of the Qin Family Twelve Kings doesn't just rely on strength."
"Come on, come on. I'm just afraid you'll come and never return."
Jun Lingxiao's words amused a few people in the Dao Field.
"Oh my, kid, you're quite arrogant, aren't you? The ancient Ten Chiefs were also very powerful. To die on this battlefield, they must have been Emperors. Do you dare to attack an Emperor?"
"He can indeed attack an Emperor. With the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, he can face an Emperor directly. But, it's only facing directly. Kid, do you have a trump card that we can't see?"
"Are the Jun Family members always so arrogant? Even with Divine Authority, the difference in Realm is too great."
"Indeed, I was that arrogant back then, daring to face an Emperor in the Emperor Realm without fear. But Lingxiao, even though the other party is just a remnant soul, he is still an Emperor! Your Realm is still low; you don't know how terrifying an Emperor truly is..."
Jun Yongzheng spoke in a guiding tone, trying to explain to Jun Lingxiao how powerful an Emperor truly was.
For example, Jun Lingxiao is currently in the Divine Realm. Although he is already considered a Prodigy among Prodigies, even so, let alone fighting an Emperor, just looking at an Emperor from afar would result in instant death!
An Emperor is a being surrounded by Law; one could say an Emperor is the manifestation of Law, the spokesperson of Law. Below the Emperor Realm, all are Mortals, and Mortals are simply not qualified to face Law directly.
Jun Lingxiao's Physique is special, so he won't be instantly crushed to death by Law when facing an Emperor directly. However, he shouldn't have the qualifications to contend with one at all.
"If I don't know the terror of an Emperor now, I will know it later."
He said mysteriously again, causing the people in his Sea of Consciousness to look at each other.
Soon, two days passed quickly.
Clang!
With a chime of a bell, it signified that the first stage of the Secret Realm had ended. Those holding fifty tokens could leave the Secret Realm early, and then their rankings would be determined by the number of tokens.
Chu Gaodan had desperately collected tokens during this time. To gain Jun Lingxiao's favor, he truly seemed to be risking his life, and Jun Lingxiao saw all of this.
But for two hundred people, fifty each would be ten thousand tokens. Fortunately, Jun Lingxiao had not given any instructions forbidding the hunting of exotic beasts, only saying that everyone should rest assured and cultivate, and those who wanted to train should train. So, many people in between also accumulated enough tokens and distributed some. A good ranking was out of the question, but leaving early was still possible.
"Your Highness! This herb, when I found it, was surrounded by shimmering light and guarded by exotic beasts, clearly extraordinary! If refined into a Medicinal Pill, it might be of great use!"
"Yesterday, when hunting exotic beasts, I encountered a corpse. After searching through it, I feel this sword is very suitable for Your Highness!"
On this day, everyone gathered, preparing to depart. Just then, two female Disciples from the Jun Family approached Jun Lingxiao, presenting treasures to him as if offering them.
Chu Gaodan looked over. Both women had beautiful faces and eyes full of admiration. One held a Lingyun Grass. To ordinary people, this item might seem like a treasure, but to him, a successor of the Ten Chiefs, it was only average. Jun Lingxiao presumably felt the same.
The item in the other woman's hand, however, was much more striking, clearly a product from that underground palace.
This sword was seven feet long and about two inches wide. Its blade shimmered with light, like a divine Sharp Weapon forged from stars, exuding a sharp Sword Qi. Whether it was the intricate patterns and mysterious inscriptions carved on the blade, or the sparkling blue sapphire embedded in the hilt, everything about this sword indicated its extraordinary nature. Although its grade was unknown, it was certainly not low.
Nor was it done intentionally.
Chu Gaodan had seen such a scene dozens of times in the past few days. Jun Family Disciples would occasionally find things to offer to Jun Lingxiao. Jun Lingxiao would accept the smaller items, but let them keep the larger ones.
This was also where Chu Gaodan was confused. If offering medicinal herbs was reasonable, then offering this sword seemed to carry significant meaning.
Herbs needed to be refined, which was troublesome if one wasn't an alchemist, so offering them was more cost-effective than using them oneself. But a sword was different; a sword was immediate combat power, usable as soon as it was picked up. Why would one give it away?
While he was thinking, Jun Lingxiao accepted the herbs but did not accept the sword.
The woman's expression showed no discouragement; instead, she turned and left with the other, a look of regret on her face.
The surrounding Disciples, upon seeing such a divine weapon, showed no covetousness. Some even jokingly remarked that it was a true treasure and asked to touch it, all in such harmony.
It wasn't an offering of treasure; it was more like an exchange between close friends.
If it's useful to you, then take it.
If it's not useful to you, then I won't force it.
This way of interacting with his own Disciples truly stunned Chu Gaodan.
So, he walked over and spoke:
"Your Highness, I don't understand."
