Chapter 144: The Ancient Imperial Clan of Xuantian Immortal Realm, Yi Clan's Genius, Yi Yu

Seeing the sudden killing intent from the young man, many cultivators were puzzled.

Jin Lie frowned and said coldly: "Slave, what do you mean by this? Are you expressing dissatisfaction?"

The young man's voice carried clear disdain: "Ancient Imperial Clans - I'll kill every single one I see!"

"You're asking for death!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Lie's eyes immediately burst with cold light, and the sword feathers on his wings trembled, emitting metallic sounds.

The surrounding crowd backed away, all feeling terrified.

The Golden-winged Young Garuda King of Mount Garuda was too renowned and truly fearsome.

"I heard that the Golden-winged Young Garuda King has refined his wing feathers into 108,000 sword feathers. When all unleashed together, they're unstoppable," a human genius remarked with a wary gaze.

However, the young man showed no fear and maintained his confrontational stance.

"Stop!" The presiding elder activated a magical artifact.

Lightning instantly flashed around the young man's body. He grunted and stumbled back several steps.

"My apologies for disturbing the Young Garuda King," the presiding elder cupped his hands.

"I'll pay 200 immortal essence. I want this person. If he remains defiant, I'll thoroughly tame him," the Golden-winged Young Garuda King said coldly.

Some human geniuses shook their heads slightly.

This young man would surely suffer in the hands of the Golden-winged Young Garuda King.

The young man's face showed cold determination.

He had already decided that even if he died, he would never submit to the Golden-winged Young Garuda King.

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

"300 immortal essence. This Divine Son will take him."

These words attracted everyone's attention in the entire venue.

"Hmm, who?" The Golden-winged Young Garuda King's eyes looked over, extremely sharp.

The others present were first stunned, then noticed the speaker's self-address.

"Could it be that person..." a young genius inhaled deeply, his pupils trembling in shock.

Three figures walked out from the VIP box.

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

"The Divine Dynasty's Princess, and... the Jun Family's Divine Son!?"

Shock spread in all directions as many people exclaimed in surprise.

Wu Mingyue's appearance wasn't surprising.

Jun Xiaoyao's appearance was what shocked them most.

"No wonder. So it wasn't the Princess who placed the bet earlier, but the Jun Family's Divine Son."

Some people finally understood.

They had thought Wu Mingyue was incredibly insightful and prescient.

But it turned out Jun Xiaoyao was behind all the betting.

However...

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

"How is this possible? How could Princess Mingyue share a box with Jun Xiaoyao?" The Yin-Yang Sacred Son's face showed shock and disbelief.

Wu Mingyue wouldn't even look at him.

Yet now she emerged from the same box as Jun Xiaoyao.

"It's truly puzzling. Earlier rumors said Jun Xiaoyao disdained the position of consort and even openly belittled Wu Mingyue. How are they together now?" Xia Lan wondered in confusion.

Hua Xiqing remained silent, her gaze falling on Jun Xiaoyao's immortal-like handsome face, momentarily lost in thought.

"Jun Xiaoyao, so it's you!" The coldness in Jin Lie's eyes intensified.

He already disliked Jun Xiaoyao.

Now that Jun Xiaoyao was interfering with his plans, Jin Lie's anger surged even more.

"The highest bidder wins. You can continue bidding, but I should mention that this Divine Son has won quite a lot of immortal essence," Jun Xiaoyao said playfully.

Only the wealthy can be the boss.

"You..." Jin Lie breathed heavily and panted. If fighting wasn't forbidden here, he would have truly lost control and attacked.

Moreover, 200 immortal essence was already Jin Lie's limit.

Seeing Jin Lie speechless.

Jun Xiaoyao swept his gaze across the crowd and said calmly: "This person will be mine. Anyone who wants to compete can speak up."

The entire venue, people from various forces looked at each other, all remaining silent.

One sentence from Jun Xiaoyao silenced the entire scene!

"Hehe, since the Divine Son needs him, we'll sell him to the Divine Son, and 200 immortal essence is enough."

Qian Duo, the young master of the Treasure Commerce Association, came over smiling.

Hearing this, Jin Lie almost spat blood.

Wasn't this the same price he offered?

"Hmm, Treasure Commerce Association, I'll remember this," Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.

Joy flashed in Qian Duo's eyes, this was exactly the effect he wanted.

"Remember, being the Divine Son's slave is your fortune. He is the most noble and powerful genius in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm, without equal," Qian Duo turned to tell the young man, while also flattering Jun Xiaoyao.

The young man looked deeply at Jun Xiaoyao.

Even with his mysterious identity and background, when he saw Jun Xiaoyao, his heart was surprised, having a feeling of being unable to see through him.

This made him feel incredible.

Because he was one of the top geniuses from the Xuantian Immortal Realm, capable of competing with various young supreme beings and even ancient prodigies.

But now, he couldn't see through someone much younger than him.

"Oh right, remove the controlling artifacts from him," Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand.

"But Divine Son, if he doesn't obey..." Qian Duo hesitated.

"It's fine," Jun Xiaoyao shook his head.

Qian Duo immediately ordered his subordinates to remove the controlling artifacts from the young man.

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

The reason Jun Xiaoyao gave such orders was that controlling artifacts were completely unnecessary.

The young man posed no threat to him.

If he didn't submit, he would simply be subdued.

"Let's go," Jun Xiaoyao swept his sleeves and turned to leave.

Before leaving, he gave Jin Lie, Ye Xunyun and others a calm glance.

That gaze was extremely peaceful and indifferent.

As if looking at a pile of garbage.

Only after Jun Xiaoyao and his group left.

Jin Lie raised his head and roared in anger.

"Jun Xiaoyao, at the Dao Tower, I will definitely compete with you!"

...

After leaving the martial arts meeting, Jun Xiaoyao's group returned directly to the inn.

Wu Mingyue, reluctant to part, also followed back.

This made Jun Linglong's eyes show more hostility.

In her view, this Divine Dynasty Princess wanted to steal her position as maid.

Jun Xiaoyao didn't mind, he was more curious about the young man's identity and background now.

In a great hall, Jun Xiaoyao sat and asked: "What's your name, what's your background? Explain clearly."

Jun Xiaoyao didn't beat around the bush, speaking directly.

The young man was also sensible, knowing that although Jun Xiaoyao's realm was one level below his, that transcendent immortal-like aura was absolutely not something he could resist.

Plus Jun Xiaoyao was the only one who bet on his victory earlier, and had saved him from the Golden-winged Young Garuda King's threat.

The young man wouldn't ignore all these favors.

So he told the truth.

"Thank you for your help, sir. My name is Yi Yu, from the Yi Clan, an ancient imperial clan of the Xuantian Immortal Realm," the young man called Yi Yu said.

"Ancient imperial clan?" Jun Xiaoyao murmured.

The so-called ancient imperial clans were emperor-level heritage passed down from ancient times.

Such heritage was very ancient, and placed great emphasis on bloodline inheritance, with clan members usually not being too numerous.

Strictly speaking, the Jun Family wasn't considered an ancient imperial clan.

Because the strongest ancestor of the Jun Family wasn't an emperor.

But rather an immortal!
