The mystery of the Cang Clan goes without saying.
They are the darlings of the Heavenly Dao, the formulators of rules.
They have long been hidden beneath the surface, watching the Immortal Realm rise and fall.
This is an extremely powerful and mysterious ancient clan.
Even the Jun Family Old Ancestor said that this clan hides very deeply and has always lived in seclusion behind the scenes.
It was only because of this Golden Great Era that the Cang Clan gradually began to emerge.
Jun Xiaoyao hadn't expected that the decline of the Kunlun Tribe was actually related to the Cang Clan.
When the Cang Clan was mentioned, even a man with the elegant demeanor of Kun Xuzi had extreme iciness surging in his eyes.
That was a hatred solidified in the Bloodline, one that could never be resolved.
"My Kunlun Tribe was annihilated because of the Cang Clan."
What hatred could be greater than the hatred of clan annihilation?
Although their Kunlun Remnant Tribe was not completely wiped out, it wasn't because the Cang Clan was merciful, but for other reasons.
"What exactly happened?" Jun Xiaoyao was also curious.
"Our clan's Kunlun Ancient Emperor once declared that he would trample the Heavenly Dao underfoot and have our clan replace it."
"The Cang Clan believed that our clan was disrespectful to the Heavenly Dao and wanted to deliver punishment on behalf of Heaven."
"Our clan naturally refused, but the Cang Clan had too many trump cards, as well as various schemes and tricks. In the end, in the great war between the two clans, our clan was defeated."
At this point, Kun Xuzi's tone was somewhat heavy.
The originally mischievous Kun Lingyu was also silent at this moment.
Evidently, this past event was a scar that would never heal for their Kunlun Remnant Tribe.
"My apologies for bringing up your painful memories," Brother Jun said with a slight apology.
Kun Xuzi took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, shook his head, and said,
"Jun Xiaoyao, you're being too polite. This is already a very ancient history."
"Moreover, our Kunlun Remnant Tribe has been able to continue to this day and establish Kunlun Hill in the Nine Heavens, thanks to the help of your Jun Family," Kun Xuzi said.
"Jun Family?"
Jun Xiaoyao was startled.
How did this get linked to the Jun Family again?
Kun Xuzi smiled and said, "At that time, my Kunlun Tribe was defeated by the Cang Clan, and the Cang Clan originally intended to wipe out the entire Bloodline of my Kunlun Tribe."
"But at a critical moment, the Jun Family intervened and stopped the Cang Clan."
"The Cang Clan also seemed to have some reservations about the Jun Family and saw that most of our clan's Cultivators had been killed, so in the end, they didn't deliver a fatal blow."
"Without the Jun Family, there would be no Kunlun Hill today."
"Although for the Jun Family, this might have been a small effort, our clan has always remembered this kindness," Kun Xuzi said.
Jun Xiaoyao suddenly understood.
He finally understood why Kun Xuzi had shown goodwill and kindness when he first met him.
So there was this connection.
And just then, a figure suddenly arrived from afar.
He was exuding a Quasi-Emperor level Qi.
Jun Xiaoyao's eyebrows subtly twitched.
Although the Jun Family had been kind to the Kunlun Remnant Tribe.
But his Face wasn't that big, was it? To actually have a Quasi-Emperor come out to greet him.
However, what was even more astonishing was yet to come.
The Quasi-Emperor came to Jun Xiaoyao's side and actually knelt on one knee directly before Jun Xiaoyao!
"Your subordinate, General Nie Zhan, greets Young Lord!"
"This...?"
Jun Xiaoyao was speechless for a moment, his mind full of questions.
The Quasi-Emperor before him was clad in armor, with long, flowing hair, and a powerful Qi, as if he were a battle maniac, fighting against Heaven and Earth.
His address to Jun Xiaoyao was Young Lord, which meant...
"Your subordinate is from the White-Robed Divine King Jun Wu悔's Divine King Eight Divisions, General Nie Zhan!" the Quasi-Emperor named General Nie Zhan said.
Jun Xiaoyao suddenly understood.
This was one of his father's Divine King Eight Divisions.
Although Jun Xiaoyao hadn't met all eight of them, he had some understanding of them.
For example, this General Nie Zhan possessed the Heavenly Martial Sacred Physique, which, like the Battle Sacred Physique, was an extreme combat Physique.
This could be seen from General Nie Zhan's nickname, Martial Maniac.
When he fought, he was almost like a mad Devil King, completely disregarding his own life.
Thus far, Jun Xiaoyao had personally seen four of the Divine King Eight Divisions under Jun Wu悔.
Double-Pupiled Zither Girl, A'Jiu.
Devil King, Li Xin.
Heavenly Punisher, War God Man.
Martial Maniac, General Nie Zhan.
The Divine King Eight Divisions varied in strength.
It was rumored that the strongest among them had a Realm even higher than Jun Wu悔.
Jun Wu悔 truly relied on his personal charisma and Prodigy-level talent to make such beings willing to follow him.
"So it's Senior General Nie Zhan, but... how are you in Kunlun Hill of the Nine Heavens?"
Jun Xiaoyao was full of doubts.
How could a Divine General under Jun Wu悔 appear here?
"It's a long story, but before that, Young Lord, please come with me. There's someone you might want to see," General Nie Zhan said.
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flashed.
He had already guessed who it was.
No wonder Kun Lingyu had said earlier that an old friend was here.
Indeed, it had been a long time since they last met.
Immediately, General Nie Zhan led Jun Xiaoyao and the others to the depths of Kunlun Hill.
A blessed land full of Immortal Qi and flowing with Dao rhyme.
A graceful figure was seated within.
She wore simple gray robes, with wide sleeves flowing, yet they could not conceal her striking figure.
Her three thousand strands of black hair swayed slightly in the wind, obscuring most of her dreamlike and beautiful Face.
Only a corner of her crystal-clear Face was revealed, as delicate and exquisite as jade.
But unlike young beauties.
Her beauty had a sense of vicissitude, refined by the passage of time.
She was like a mature and steady elder sister, giving off a sense of tranquility and peace.
Her beauty was detached from the world, standing proudly and alone.
Who else could it be but A'Jiu?
"Because A'Jiu has been Cultivating, we temporarily haven't told her the news of Young Lord's arrival in the Nine Heavens," General Nie Zhan said from the side.
Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
He stepped into the blessed land.
A'Jiu, who had been sitting cross-legged and Cultivating with her eyes closed, suddenly sensed something and slowly opened her pupils.
She saw the young man in white, handsome and elegant.
A'Jiu was startled, then shook her head slightly and murmured,
"Is it an illusion again? It seems to happen frequently during my recent Cultivation."
As the saying goes, what one thinks about during the day, one dreams about at night.
A'Jiu's mission had always revolved around Jun Xiaoyao.
So during Cultivation, she would occasionally have such illusions.
Hearing this.
Jun Xiaoyao felt even more moved in his heart.
What kind of attachment was this, that it made A'Jiu see his illusions from time to time?
"A'Jiu, it's me. I'm here."
Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly.
"Hmm?"
A'Jiu was stunned again, then she came to her senses.
She was very surprised, not expecting to see Jun Xiaoyao again in the Nine Heavens.
"Young Lord."
A'Jiu stood up and came before Jun Xiaoyao, about to bow.
But Jun Xiaoyao stopped her.
"No need for that. It's also a great surprise for me to see you here, A'Jiu," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Since parting with A'Jiu on the Ultimate Ancient Road, Burial Emperor Star.
After a long time, he finally saw A'Jiu again.
Time had not left a single trace on her; she remained as beautiful as ever, with a timeless elegance.
This refined and unadorned temperament was something other women did not possess.
A'Jiu's Realm and Qi also slightly surprised Jun Xiaoyao.
Her current strength had actually reached the Chaos Dao Venerable Realm.
Although it was only the early stage, this speed was definitely astonishing.
After all, when she was on Burial Emperor Star, she was only at the Heavenly Venerable Realm.
However, on second thought.
A'Jiu inherently possessed the Double-Pupil talent, coupled with the excellent Cultivation environment of Kunlun Hill in the Nine Heavens.
It was not incomprehensible for her to have such speed.
One could only say that Jun Xiaoyao's idea was correct.
If A'Jiu had stayed by his side, acting as his Guardian, it would have severely slowed down A'Jiu's own Cultivation speed.
That's why Jun Xiaoyao had given A'Jiu her freedom then, allowing her to have her own Cultivation time.
"I didn't expect you, A'Jiu, to have already reached the Dao Venerable Realm. Indeed, being my Guardian was a waste of your talent and time," Jun Xiaoyao said with a shake of his head and a smile.
A'Jiu's expression suddenly became serious as she looked at Jun Xiaoyao and said,
"Serving Young Lord, A'Jiu has no regrets."
"If possible, A'Jiu is willing to be Young Lord's Guardian for life."
"However, with Young Lord's talent, it won't be long before you won't need A'Jiu anymore."
