Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning

Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Ancient Emperor Race of the Profound Celestial Immortal Realm, Yi Race’s Celestial Pride Yi Yu

Seeing the young man’s sudden killing intent.

Many cultivators were puzzled.

Jin Lie furrowed his brows even more, and said coldly, ”Slave, what do you mean by this, are you expressing discontent?”

The young man’s voice carried a tone of cold disdain, ”Ancient Royal Family, I kill every one I see!”

”Seeking death!”

Upon hearing this, Jin Lie’s eyes immediately exploded with a cold gleam, and the sword feathers on the wings behind him trembled, emitting metallic sounds.

The surrounding crowd distanced themselves, all in shock and fear.

The Golden-Winged Roc King from Jialou Sacred Mountain had a reputation far too intimidating, indeed a deterrent.

”I’ve heard that the Golden-Winged Roc King has refined his own wing feathers into 108,000 sword feathers, and if unleashed together, it’s unstoppable.” A Human Race celestial pride spoke with great apprehension.

However, the young man showed no fear, adopting a stance of direct confrontation.

”Stop!” The presiding elder took out a magical artifact and activated it.

Suddenly, lightning flashed across the young man’s body, he grunted, taking a few steps back.

”Apologies for disturbing the Little Peng King.” The presiding elder clasped his hands.

”I offer two hundred Immortal Origins for this person. If he is defiant, I will completely tame him.” The Golden-Winged Roc King said coldly.

Some Human Race celestial prides shook their heads slightly.

If this man falls into the hands of the Golden-Winged Roc King, he will surely suffer.

The young man’s expression turned resolute and icy.

He had already decided, even if it meant death, he would never bow to the Golden-Winged Roc King.

At this moment, a gentle and calm voice rang out.

”Three hundred Immortal Origins, I, the Divine Son, want him.”

The words drew everyone’s attention in the venue.

”Hmm, who?” The Golden-Winged Roc King’s eyes were sharp.

The others present were initially stunned, then they heard the self-reference in the words.

”Could it be that person...” A young celestial pride took a deep breath, shock filling his pupils.

Three figures emerged from the VIP box.

They were Jun Xiaoyao, Jun Linglong, and Wu Mingyue.

”The Eldest Princess of the Divine Dynasty, and... the Jun Family’s Divine Son?!”

The surroundings were in shock, many exclaimed in disbelief.

Their surprise lay not in Wu Mingyue’s presence.

It was Jun Xiaoyao’s appearance that surprised them the most.

”No wonder, it wasn’t the Eldest Princess who placed the bet earlier, but the Jun Family’s Divine Son.”

Some people also realized.

They thought it was Wu Mingyue’s divine strategy and keen insight.

But it was the Jun Family’s Divine Son placing the bets behind the scenes.

Just that...

When did Wu Mingyue and the Jun Family’s Divine Son become so close?

”How could this be, how could Princess Mingyue share a box with Jun Xiaoyao?” The Yin Yang Saint Son’s face was stunned, unable to believe it.

Wu Mingyue didn’t even spare him a glance.

Yet now she walked out of a box with Jun Xiaoyao.

”It’s truly puzzling, wasn’t there a rumor that Jun Xiaoyao disdained the position of Prince Consort, even disparaging Wu Mingyue in person? Why are they now together?” Xia Lan was also confused.

While Hua Xiqing remained silent, her eyes lingered on Jun Xiaoyao’s celestial-like handsome face, momentarily lost in thought.

”Jun Xiaoyao, it’s you!” Jin Lie’s eyes grew colder.

He was already displeased with Jun Xiaoyao.

Now that Jun Xiaoyao was obstructing him, Jin Lie’s anger surged even further.

”The highest bidder wins. You can continue to place bids, but I should let you know, I, the Divine Son, have won quite a few Immortal Origins.” Jun Xiaoyao’s tone was filled with amusement.

Those with wealth are indeed respected.

”You...” Jin Lie’s breathing quickened, panting heavily. If it weren’t for the restrictions on fighting here, he would have lost control.

And two hundred Immortal Origins was already Jin Lie’s limit.

Seeing Jin Lie rendered speechless.

Jun Xiaoyao calmly surveyed the surroundings, ”This person belongs to I, the Divine Son. Anyone who wants to compete, feel free to speak up.”

The entire venue, filled with people from various forces, exchanged glances but remained silent.

Jun Xiaoyao’s mere statement brought silence to the entire venue!

”Hehe, since the Divine Son needs him, we shall sell this person to the Divine Son, and two hundred Immortal Origins will suffice.” Qian Duo, the Young Master of Ten Thousand Treasures Commerce Association, walked over and laughed.

Hearing this, Jin Lie nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Wasn’t that the same price he offered?

”Hmm, Ten Thousand Treasures Commerce Association, I, the Divine Son, will remember this.” Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.

Qian Duo’s eyes lit up with delight; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

”Remember, to become the Divine Son’s slave is your luck. He is the most noble and powerful celestial pride in Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm, bar none.” Qian Duo turned to the young man, throwing in a flattering remark.

The young man took a deep look at Jun Xiaoyao.

Even with his mysterious identity and background, he was slightly amazed when he saw Jun Xiaoyao, feeling an unfathomable presence.

This struck him as incredible.

For he was one of the top celestial prides in Profound Celestial Immortal Realm, capable of contending with various young venerables and even ancient prodigies.

But now, he couldn’t see through someone much younger than himself.

”By the way, remove the control artifact from him.” Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand.

”But Divine Son, if he doesn’t obey...” Qian Duo hesitated.

”No problem.” Jun Xiaoyao shook his head.

Qian Duo immediately ordered his subordinates to remove the control artifact from the young man’s body.

The young man’s gaze toward Jun Xiaoyao also softened considerably.

Jun Xiaoyao instructed thus because there was no need for a control artifact.

The young man posed no threat to him.

If he disobeys, he would simply suppress him.

”Let’s go.” Jun Xiaoyao flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.

Before leaving, he cast a cool, indifferent glance at Jin Lie, Ye Xingyun and others.

That look was calm and indifferent to the extreme.

As if sweeping over a pile of garbage.

It wasn’t until Jun Xiaoyao and the others had left.

Jin Lie looked up and roared in anger.

”Jun Xiaoyao, when the time comes for Celestial Dao Tower, I will definitely compete with you!”

...

After leaving the Martial Arts Assembly, Jun Xiaoyao and the others returned directly to the inn.

Wu Mingyue, feeling reluctant, also followed them back.

This caused Jun Linglong’s eyes to show even more hostility.

In her view, the Eldest Princess of the Divine Dynasty was trying to take her maid’s position.

Jun Xiaoyao didn’t mind though; he was more curious about the young man’s identity and background at the moment.

In a certain hall, Jun Xiaoyao sat, asking, ”What is your name, and what is your background, make it clear.”

Jun Xiaoyao wasn’t one for beating around the bush, getting straight to the point.

The young man considered himself sensible, knowing that although Jun Xiaoyao’s realm was one level lower than his, that kind of transcendent and celestial aura was not something he could contend with.

Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao had been the only one to bet on his victory before and had even removed the Golden-Winged Roc King’s threat for him.

Such kindness, the young man wouldn’t disregard.

So he spoke truthfully.

”Thank you, young master, for your help. My name is Yi Yu, from the ancient emperor race, the Yi Race of Profound Celestial Immortal Realm,” the young man named Yi Yu said.

”Ancient Emperor Race?” Jun Xiaoyao murmured.

The so-called Ancient Emperor Race is an Emperor Daoist Lineage passed down from ancient times.

This type of Daoist Lineage is very old and places great emphasis on bloodline inheritance, with not many people in the clan.

Strictly speaking, the Jun Family is not considered an Ancient Emperor Race.

Because the strongest ancestor of the Jun Family was not an Emperor.

But an Immortal!
