Chapter 16: Zhuque Ancient Nation Submits, Heaven's Cho
kering lights still dancing atop the crumbling ancient tower."Hey, who's that light spot Could it be the Qin family's divine son!"Some Tianjiao who had already entered the Ruins Ancient Tower and hadn...In a sleeping palace of the ancient kingdom of Zhuque.
The lord of the Zhuque nation lay on his bed, surrounded by alchemists and physicians from the ancient Zhuque nation.
But they were all helpless against the illness of the Lord Zhuque.
The Vermilion Bird King's illness stems from years ago, when he journeyed to a secret realm with the Azure Dragon King. There, they were attacked by a primordial monster, the Nine-Demon Serpent, whose power rivaled that of a saint.
The venom of the Nine Evil Serpent Demon is so potent that even saints would find it hard to resist.
Not to mention the master of Zhuque Kingdom, who is a quasi-saint.
"Alas, what shall we do now The princess went to the Jun family, not only did she fail to obtain the elixir of immortality, but she was also humiliated."
"What are we going to do We can't possibly go and cause trouble for the Jun family, that would be suicide, wouldn't it"
All the alchemists, physicians, and officials of the Zhuque Ancient Kingdom shook their heads and sighed.
Ancient clans, they are not to be trifled with.
So even though they heard that Bai Yu'er was humiliated and forced to kneel, the ancient country of Zhuque had no intention of seeking revenge.
Upon hearing this, the sovereign of Zhuque Nation on his bed coughed even more violently, his face turning ashen.
But at that moment, a guard rushed in from outside, panting and exclaiming, "Your Majesty, there are distinguished guests arriving at our Zhuque ancient country who request an audience with you!"
A minister, upon hearing this, immediately flung his sleeve and roared angrily, "Blind fool! Can't you see the state His Majesty is currently in You dare to disturb him!"
Just as the minister's words fell, a delicate female voice came from the entrance of the hall.
"The lord of Zhuque Nation should not have reached a critical state yet, so why can't he be seen"
"You're asking for death, aren't you!" The minister's face flushed with anger.
"To dare to shout at my young mistress, what insolence!"
A wizened figure appeared, with a flick of his sleeve, a surge of powerful cultivation from the quasi-sage realm erupted.
A little snort!
That minister immediately spat blood and flew backwards!
Within the great hall, all the people of the ancient Zhuque kingdom froze in their tracks, their legs trembling, fear gripping them to their very core!
Sacred aura!
Even the most powerful sovereign of the ancient Zhuque Kingdom was only at the level of a Quasi-Sage!
All eyes trembled and turned to look.
But then an old woman in a plain robe walked in with an impassive expression.
Behind her was a beautiful woman in court dress.
Golden hair cascaded down her back, each strand silken and smooth. Her complexion was as fair as snow, glowing with an ethereal beauty. Her loveliness was captivating.
It was precisely Jun Linglong and the Flower Granny.
"...She is the noble daughter of Lord Jun..." Some ministers' hearts were stirred with shock.
Jun Linglong was quite famous in the outside world, so they recognized her at once.
And the minister who had just berated him, was now bleeding from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with terror, collapsed to the ground, unable to rise.
"Ahem...Didn't expect it to be a noble lady from the Jun family. Are you here to seek retribution"
On the bed, the Lord of Zhuque State struggled to get up, his face etched with fatigue.
It was only recently that news spread of Bai Yuer offending the Divine Son of the Jun Family and kneeling outside the palace.
And now, the lord's family has arrived.
If it's not to atone for something, then what is it here for
As soon as these words were spoken, all the people from the ancient Zhuque Kingdom in the main hall trembled with fear and anxiety.
If the Jun family wants to erase the ancient country of Zhuque, they really don't need to put in too much effort.
The ruler of Zhu Que Kingdom also accepted his fate, so he remained calm.
"Is my divine child the kind of great demon who would casually massacre entire clans You should be grateful for your godchild's mercy." Jun Linglong covered her mouth and smiled faintly.
"Hmm" The lords of Zhuque Nation and the others all looked bewildered.
Couldn't your family have come to ask for retribution
Jun Linglong stepped forward, her jade hand passing over the void ring.
Instantly, purple mist surged and a medicinal fragrance wafted through the air. A herb shaped like a qilin appeared before everyone's eyes.
"That... is the elixir of immortality!"
All people from the ancient kingdom of Suzaku had their eyes wide open, almost unable to breathe.
The lord of Zhuque Nation, also had a look of astonishment on his face.
Every emergence of an immortal herb would cause a stir throughout the Immortal Wilderness.
And now, Jun Linglong so effortlessly brought out a herb of immortality, shocking them to their core, like bumpkins seeing mountains of gold.
Onlooker Hua, seeing the performance of everyone from Zhuque Ancient Country, couldn't help but show a hint of disdain in her old eyes.
“Lord of the Zhuque Nation, I now offer you two choices: submit to the Divine Son and receive the elixir of immortality.”
"Disagree, then perish on your own." Jun Linglong said in a flat tone.
Before Jun Xiaoyao, she was humble.
But now facing outsiders, she resumed the demeanor of a noble lady from the Jun family.
"This..." The ministers of the Zhuque Ancient Kingdom all changed color.
They heard the meaning in Jun Linglong's words.
It is to submit to the divine son of the house, rather than to submit to the house itself.
The difference here is huge.
If one were to submit to the ancient kingdom of Huanggu, it wouldn't be entirely unacceptable for the ancient country of Zhuque.
After all, as the top lineage of the Jun family, there are still many.
But if it is only to submit and be at ease alone.
That would be rather embarrassing for a top-tier school of practice, wouldn't it
"Unwilling You should know that submitting to the Divine Son is a great honor." Jun Linglong raised an eyebrow, her expression slightly cold.
A struggle flashed across Zhuque Emperor's eyes, and finally he sighed, "I agree. Please thank the divine son of Jun's family for me. I only hope that he won't make things difficult for Yu'er."
With things having come to this, does the ruler of Zhuque Nation still have a choice
"Rest assured, Lord Shenzi only gave Bai Yu'er a slight reprimand. She won't be harmed." Jun Linglong said faintly.
She gave the Kirin's immortality elixir to the ruler of Zhuque Kingdom.
The Suzaku Nation's ruler took the elixir of immortality, his hands trembling slightly.
After all, who would want to die if they could live
Not to mention a head of state.
"Cultivate diligently, this elixir of immortality will not only heal your injuries but also help you advance further. This way, you'll be even more useful to the Divine Son." Jun Linglong warned.
Upon hearing such words from Jun Linglong, all the ministers were speechless.
Isn't this just using the Lord of Zhuque as a tool
"I know," Suzaku's king nodded, he showed no displeasure, instead excitement flashed in his eyes.
Above the level of a quasi-sage is that of a sage.
With the help of this Qilin immortal herb, he might truly be able to rise again after his fall and break through to the realm of saints.
"Remember, this is the grace bestowed upon you by the Divine Child. If any of you dare to harbor even a shred of dissent..." Jun Linglong's voice was icy cold.
She still wielded the carrot-and-stick approach with masterful skill.
"That goes without saying, after that, the Divine Son became the true master of my Zhuque ancient country." The Zhuque nation's ruler said respectfully.
Offending the divine son of the Jun family is tantamount to offending the Jun family itself.
Although the Zhuque Ancient Nation is a top-tier force, before the Jun Family, it's nothing more than a slightly larger ant.
"Understood." Jun Linglong and Hua Po turned and left.
The ancient kingdom of Suzaku has completely submitted to Lord Xiaoyao, becoming a vassal state under his rule.
Once Jun Xiaoyao has thoroughly trained Bai Yuer, he will be able to better control the ancient kingdom of Zhuque.
Several months had passed. Inside the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Jun Xiaoyao stood up, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"About time, she's been kneeling for a year now. It's time to train her and bring her under control."
At the same time, within the territory of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom, a dragon chariot suddenly soared into the sky, heading towards the Jun family.
Inside the palanquin, it was none other than the eldest prince of the Qinglong ancient country, Xiao Chen.
"That move is now perfected, it's time to bring Yu'er back."
"As for that Jun Family Divine Son, if I challenged him and defeated him, I'd surely be renowned throughout the Aetherian Immortal Domain. The Jun Family wouldn't dare to humiliate me, a junior disciple."
A confident smile played on Xiao Chen's lips.
Not entering the tiger's lair, how can one get its cubs
He, Xiao Chen, alone and fearless, broke into the Jun family, rescuing his beloved in his arms, trampling upon their divine son. His fame spread far and wide.
Aren't those protagonists in biographical novels all like that
As soon as he thought of that scene, Xiao Chen felt a surge of excitement, almost impatient.is back on the deck of the Xingzhou.Gazing into the vast, endless void, a hint of depth flickered in his eyes.Finally, it's time to officially step into this world of the World Sea.Beside her, Ye Liul...
