42: You have my information? Coincidentally, I also have yours.

"Ah? You don't actually think you're worthy of toasting me, do you?"

Jun Lingxiao showed a hint of mockery, then slowly leaned in beside him, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear: "You come when a summons is sent, just like a dog, Fang Sheng."

"Although there are no Great Emperors present, that doesn't mean your disguise is very good."

Fang Sheng remained calm even after a cup of wine was poured on his head, but when Jun Lingxiao called out his name, Fang Sheng's pupils constricted; he was truly shocked.

No one besides a Great Emperor could see through his disguise, yet Jun Lingxiao in front of him had seen through it and even called out his name... 'Magic Treasure? Divine Ability? Or did he receive some intelligence beforehand?'

Regardless, Fang Sheng's gaze towards Jun Lingxiao became serious. Just a few words revealed that this ten-year-old boy in front of him not only possessed a special Physique but was also far from simple!

"Since everyone has come prepared, let's not dawdle."

"Let's begin directly."

Jun Lingxiao said, walking directly towards the outside of the hall. Fang Sheng, after wiping his face, also followed.

The people in the hall watched the two disappearing figures until they were out of sight, their faces filled with disbelief.

"This is... a complete breakdown of relations?"

"The Jun Family and the Fang Family have had constant friction for so many years. When the Fang Family appeared, I knew something like this would happen, but the boy the Fang Family sent is very unfamiliar."

"That's not right. Don't the people of the Ye Family usually come out to mediate?"

Only now did everyone suddenly remember this matter. They looked around and finally found the Ye Family members in a corner, minding their own business.

At the same time, they realized that the Qin Family, one of the Three Heavens, hadn't come at all!

Now everyone finally realized something was amiss. Even the sound of their voices quieted considerably, and they subtly glanced towards the outside of the main hall.

Things are about to change... "Heh, he's still just a child."

"However, don't disappoint me, little brother."

Jun Qiong sat there drinking, smiling as she looked at Jun Lingxiao outside the hall.

If it had been her in that situation, she would have just slapped him directly. How much simpler would that be! This was the Jun Family's territory; they could do as they pleased.

But it had to be said, although Jun Lingxiao was young, he already showed some of the Jun Family's domineering presence.

"An Luoxin, Divine Son, this is...?"

Because of the previous traitor incident, Jun Hongxuan had been deliberately excluded, so he didn't know the Jun Family's upper-level plans. He was momentarily stunned when he saw this scene.

An Luoxin, holding a wine cup, stood behind Chu Yi. Seeing Jun Hongxuan approach, she calmly looked up at him:

"He said he wants to vent his anger for a friend."

"Anyway, just watch."

"To vent his anger for a friend..." Jun Hongxuan's lips trembled as he repeated the phrase, staring blankly at Jun Lingxiao's back outside the hall, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

He had no parents, and after Rong Junxian's death, he felt completely alone, but looking back, it seemed that wasn't entirely true.

The main hall was suddenly filled with surging undercurrents, and in the inner hall of the Jun Family, where the Great Emperors resided, many people were also watching this good show.

The Jun Family's inner hall was a towering pagoda that soared into the clouds. From here, one could overlook the entire Jun Family. A group of Great Emperors gathered here to drink tea, watching the situation in the distant main hall.

"Oh, it has begun."

When Jun Wenhao saw his grandson leading a person out of the main hall, he immediately understood that it had begun.

Several Jun Family Elders beside him also looked down upon hearing this.

"To endure humiliation and still attend the banquet, although we know their target is the Divine Son, we wonder what kind of assurance they have..."

As this Elder spoke, he saw the open space outside the main hall's door, where Jun Lingxiao was, suddenly enveloped by a black spherical space. He immediately understood what method was being used and sighed softly:

"So that's it, a Domain. It seems this is the only possibility."

"This Domain is not simple, a grand gesture indeed. Old Ancestor, what do you think?"

The several people exchanged comments, watching the situation below, while the Old Ancestor glanced down and couldn't help but let out a scoff.

"Not worth mentioning."

Over a dozen Great Emperors from different families gathered together like spectators, watching the events unfold below. Of course, this included the Great Emperor from the Fang Family.

He had remained silent, but finally, after the black Domain below enveloped Jun Lingxiao, he revealed a look of successful scheming. However, before he could even laugh out loud, he listened to the Jun Family's conversation and realized something was wrong.

"You knew?!"

"Kneel properly."

The Old Ancestor's muffled grunt made him continue to kneel.

That's right.

The Fang Family's Great Emperor had been kneeling here all along, holding a fruit platter. If he were facing a Great Emperor of the same Rank, he naturally wouldn't be so humiliated, but he hadn't expected the Jun Family's Heavenly Emperor Old Ancestor to be here, so he could only kneel.

Great Emperor, Heavenly Emperor—although only one word separated them, the difference in their strength was truly vast.

A hundred Great Emperors attacking together could barely fight a Heavenly Emperor to a draw, but the key was that the entire Ten Directions Immortal Court, including Loose Cultivators, barely had just over a hundred Great Emperors. As for the Upper Thousand Realms, they were even rarer.

With the Qin Family not coming and the Ye Family observing, the Jun Family truly held absolute power.

"It's useless. This Domain is special; it was constructed by sacrificing a hundred Quasi-Emperors. Even against a Heavenly Emperor, it can last at least 50 breaths!"

Since he had been exposed, this Fang Family Great Emperor stopped pretending. Although he was kneeling on the ground, his voice was very confident.

The Jun Family's Heavenly Emperor was renowned. If they didn't have some means to counter him, how would they have dared to act rashly?

"Pfft..."

Before the Jun Family's Great Emperors could speak, the Ye Family's Great Emperor laughed.

He was an old man, holding a book and leaning back, seemingly amused by something in the book, or perhaps by the speaker of those words.

"Setting aside whether a Heavenly Emperor's attack can truly be withstood for fifty breaths, do you see him making any move to attack?"

A single sentence drifted down, and then he continued to lean back and read his book.

The other Great Emperors around him also smiled without speaking.

"A hundred Quasi-Emperors, plus your Great Emperor, and a highly talented junior—it is indeed a grand gesture. Your Fang Family certainly couldn't have pulled this off alone."

"The reason rats are rats is because they like to play tricks. As for who is backing you, that's beside the point. You don't actually think that just by blocking me, you've already won, do you?"

"As long as you draw my Divine Son of the Jun Family into the Domain, preventing me from interfering, you can definitely kill him? Is this your plan?"

"But, I never said I would act."

The Old Ancestor also looked down leisurely, quite relaxed.

Jun Lingxiao had never given him cause for concern, and this time would be no different.

The Fang Family's Great Emperor's gaze turned gloomy upon hearing this, but he didn't continue the conversation. Although there was an agreement among Heavenly Emperors not to act rashly, the one before him was notoriously temperamental. The Fang Family sending him seemed like a bait-and-switch, a suicidal move, but he didn't want to actually die here.

Thinking this, he also looked down at the black Domain. In his opinion, Jun Lingxiao was only ten years old. In terms of Prodigy Aptitude, a ten-year-old Spirit Dao Realm was already very good, but Jun Lingxiao, possessing the Sacred Body, adding another major Realm to Divine Realm, was already a high estimate for him.

After all, reaching this Realm at ten years old was already in the Ranks of peerless Prodigies, the kind that only appear three or four times in a millennium.

But even so, facing Fang Sheng, who was in the Spirit Domain Realm, he could be said to have no power to retaliate! It had nothing to do with Aptitude; the age difference was too, too great.

Not only him, but everyone in the Fang Family, and the people behind the Fang Family, thought the same way.

As everyone watched, the two people enclosed within the Domain had already begun their confrontation.

"Jun Lingxiao of the Jun Family, I know you."

"Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, with a Heavenly Gate on his back, four million strength in three punches at five years old during the Divine Tablet test."

Fang Sheng removed his disguise, staring intently at the still calm youth before him. Although somewhat surprised, he still spoke with great confidence.

"Is that so? You only know that much?" Jun Lingxiao nodded, then looked at the Domain space around them, speaking casually:

"Fang Sheng of the Fang Family, I also know you. You possess the Hundred Tribulations Heavenly Sacred Body, the fifth-ranked Sacred Body. You are a chess piece laid by the Fang Family, always kept hidden, cultivating the Fang Family's supreme Mind-Cultivation Technique, mainly a Body Cultivator, specializing in fist techniques, and your Realm is Spirit Domain Sixth Realm."

"Oh, right, I also know your parents' names, but these are useless, so I won't mention them."

"My intelligence is not restricted by the Jun Family, but you have been continuously hidden. You should understand what that means, right?"

"Even if I do nothing, information about your Fang Family, and about you, will always be sent to me by someone trying to curry favor."
