Sign in at the beginning of the ancient Eucharist

At this moment, outside the Jing family's ancestral home in the sky.

But then, countless figures appeared in the void above.

The number of people is not particularly large, probably around a thousand.

However, they were all mid-to-high-level cultivators and experts from the Xing, Tai, and Cheng families.

The leaders included the head of the Xing family and the head of the Tai family, among others.

The two figures in the center are naturally Jun Xiaoyao and Jiang Yunran, who have returned from the top-level restricted area.

Just a moment later.

Above the Jing family's residence, the group of people also took to the air.

It was the head of the Jing family, the head of the Yao family, and a group of high-ranking officials.

The Jing family patriarch stared directly at Jun Xiaoyao, a dark glint flashing deep in his eyes.

Jun Xiaoyao deposed his most valued son, Jing Hegui.

He only felt coldness towards Jun Xiaoyao.

However, given the current situation, he naturally wouldn't reveal it.

Instead, he calmly said, "This must be the young master of the Jun family. May I ask what brings you to my Jing family?"

Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained calm, showing no sign of anger.

"It seems you're asking a question you already know the answer to."

"Actually, if you want to get rid of your status as a vassal of the Jun family..."

"I don't care at all."

"But you yourselves insist on courting death."

"As for what you did..."

With a flick of his sleeve, Jun Xiaoyao conjured up a memory stone.

Then a scene appeared.

It was the appearance of powerful figures from the Jing and Yao families, targeting Jun Xiaoyao.

"What, this..."

Many cultivators at the Jing family's residence were astonished upon witnessing this scene.

Most of the Jing family cultivators were actually unaware of this matter.

This operation was planned by Jing Lanshan and other high-ranking officials.

The lower and middle-level Jing family cultivators were unaware of this.

Upon seeing this, Jing Lanshan was not too surprised.

His expression slowly turned cold, and he didn't even want to act anymore.

“Jun Xiaoyao, back in the vast starry sky, the Jun family was indeed at its peak, wielding immense power.”

"It can be said that everyone in the world knows you."

"But now, the Jun family does not appear desolate."

“Our five great families have been trapped on Fallen God Island for many years, and no one has come to our rescue.”

“My Jing family no longer needs to be an appendage of the Jun family.”

"Besides, you also ruined my offspring."

"From now on, the Jing family and the Jun family will keep to themselves and not interfere with each other."

Jing Lanshan spoke indifferently.

Although he's stopped pretending.

However, he did not want to go to war with the Xing, Tai, and Cheng families, as it would not benefit them and would only result in mutual destruction.

Therefore, he chose to draw a clear line.

Upon hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao smiled.

"you sure?"

"That's natural," Jing Lanshan said calmly.

Jun Xiaoyao shook his head: "Although I really don't care about your Jing family."

"But I also feel it's a bit of a pity for you."

"After all, freedom is placed before you, but you have no choice."

Upon hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, the people of the Jing family were all stunned.

The Yao family members, including Yao Mu, were all stunned.

"I have decided to release the people of the Xing, Tai, and Cheng families from their constraints."

"Let them leave Fallen God Island freely."

"As for your Jing family and Yao family, you can stay here and reflect on your actions."

"what?!"

"How is that possible? What is he saying?"

The people from the Jing family and the Yao family were all stunned, unable to believe their ears.

After all, for the five major families...

They dream of leaving Fallen God Island.

"This is impossible!"

Jing Lanshan frowned, believing that Jun Xiaoyao was undermining the morale of both their armies.

Previously, unusual activity was observed at the top-level restricted area.

Jun Xiaoyao was lucky to survive; how could he possibly help them escape?

At the beginning, they were aware of the news.

Jun Xiaoyao said that he would rescue the five major families from Fallen God Island.

But both families treated it as a joke.

I think Jun Xiaoyao is too naive.

Even a near-god-level powerhouse like Xingqiong Blade Emperor suffered a defeat.

How could Jun Xiaoyao possibly rescue them from their predicament?

"Are you trying to sow discord within the Jing family?"

Jing Lanshan frowned.

Just then, a cold snort rang out, like a thunderclap from the heavens.

It seemed to make the entire sky tremble three times.

"Jing Lanshan, who do you think you are, daring to question the young master's words?"

The sound caused Jing Lanshan, Yao Mu, and the others' expressions to change drastically.

A figure appeared in the sky.

It is none other than the Blade Emperor Xingqiong!
Xingqiong Daodi had gray hair, dark skin, and deep wrinkles on his face.

He was dressed in simple coarse linen clothes and had a wood-chopping knife hanging at his waist.

He looked like a woodcutter in the mountains.

No one who saw him would associate him with a near-godlike powerhouse.

However, at this moment, Xingqiong Blade Emperor alone silenced the entire universe.

The atmosphere between heaven and earth was as heavy as lead and mercury.

"Ancestor Xingqiong, you've actually emerged from seclusion?"

Jing Lanshan's face darkened.

The reason why the Jing and Yao families have been suppressed all this time is...

It was because of this near-divine ancestor of the Xing family.

Although he had been in seclusion, he still wielded considerable influence, keeping both families from making any rash moves.

"Young Master has already found a way to break free from the restrictions at the top level."

“Our lord’s family once did great favors for both of your families.”

“If it weren’t for the Jun family, your two families would have been wiped out long ago, and your entire clans would have been exterminated.”

"And now, the carefree young master of the Lord's family has arrived."

"Not only do you not respectfully submit, but you also dare to target and plot against us. You are truly audacious!"

Xingqiong Daodi is the Grand Commander of the Imperial Guards of the Jun Family.

He is absolutely loyal to the Jun family.

The imperial guards of the emperor are fundamentally different from so-called vassal forces.

Subordinate forces are simply those who submit to the ruler's family; there are actually no strict rules governing their subservience.

Given the Jun family's resources, they don't really care how many vassal forces they have.

Therefore, they are unlikely to be asked to make oaths of allegiance to the sovereign or the like.

However, the imperial guards of the Jun family can be regarded as the most loyal bodyguards of the Jun family.

They are beings who are willing to go through fire and water for their country.

Therefore, Xingqiong Daodi, the Grand Commander of the Imperial Guards, could not tolerate traitors.

Previously, although these two entities intended to break away from their status as vassal states, they did not take any excessive actions.

But now, they dare to secretly target Jun Xiaoyao.

This completely crossed the line for the imperial guards.

Jing Lanshan's face darkened considerably after being scolded by Xing Qiong Dao Di.

He said coldly, "Ancestor Xingqiong, do you perhaps intend to incite a civil war among the five major families?"

"Let's not even talk about the fact that this battle will result in a lose-lose situation."

"But given your current state, if we were to actually make a move, I'm afraid your path to cultivation would be completely severed!"

Jing Lanshan didn't have too many concerns because he felt that Xing Qiong Dao Di wouldn't dare to really make a move.

Given his previous injuries, if he were to force a move...

The resulting internal injuries are absolutely irreversible.

however……

boom!
A vast and powerful aura suddenly rose from Xingqiong Blade Emperor's body.

One after another, bright, gleaming blade energy burst forth.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that the sword energy is interwoven with near-divine laws.

The powerful aura overwhelmed the entire area, causing both Jing Lanshan and Yao Mu, the two family heads, to be deeply shaken.

"Ancestor Xing Qiong, your injuries have healed?!"

Jing Lanshan couldn't believe his eyes.

If Xing Qiong, the Blade Emperor, has truly recovered from his injuries, wouldn't those two families be like fish on a chopping block? (End of Chapter)
