Revenge Never Waits Overnight; Black Cloud Clan Prodigy Slain with a Casual Wave

Before long, Jun Linglong and Jun Zhangjian returned to where Jun Xiaoyao was.

"Young Master, I bought back the Pure Heart Spirit Tea." A faint smile appeared on Jun Linglong's slightly pale jade-like face.

"Mm, good..." Jun Xiaoyao had barely nodded when he noticed that something was off about Jun Linglong and Jun Zhangjian.

He frowned slightly, rose to his feet, and walked over to Jun Linglong.

"Young Master?" Jun Linglong's expression froze, and she became a little flustered.

Jun Xiaoyao raised his hand and gently wiped away the faint trace of blood at the corner of Jun Linglong's lips.

Such an intimate gesture made Jun Linglong's face flush scarlet at once.

"What happened?"

Jun Xiaoyao asked in an indifferent tone.

It was not as though he liked Jun Linglong all that much.

But at the very least, Jun Linglong was one of his people.

To lay hands on Jun Linglong was to provoke him.

"My apologies, Divine Child. I failed to stop Jun Wanjie." Jun Zhangjian spoke with guilt in his voice.

"Explain clearly," Jun Xiaoyao said.

Jun Zhangjian then told Jun Xiaoyao everything that had happened earlier.

"You were both injured, yet you still wanted to buy me tea. Are you foolish?" Jun Xiaoyao said, shaking his head slightly.

"If Young Master wanted to drink it, Linglong naturally had to buy it."

Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, which seemed to carry a hint of indulgent affection, Jun Linglong felt as though she had eaten honey.

"Let's go." Jun Xiaoyao flicked his sleeve and spoke with his hands clasped behind his back.

"Where to?" Jun Zhangjian asked instinctively.

"Of course, to find Jun Wanjie," Jun Xiaoyao said with a smile.

Yet that smile carried a trace of chill.

What nonsense about a gentleman taking ten years to avenge himself never being too late.

What nonsense about them all being members of the Jun Family and putting the bigger picture first—none of that existed!

Revenge never waited overnight.

Since Jun Wanjie had taken the initiative to provoke him, Jun Xiaoyao had no need to spare his feelings.

Elsewhere, at Jun Wanjie's residence.

Black Earth wore an unwilling expression as he said, "My lord, since your strength is so great, why not go directly and suppress Jun Xiaoyao?"

Having witnessed Jun Wanjie's domineering move just now, Black Earth's admiration had reached its peak.

At the same time, he believed that Jun Wanjie could absolutely defeat Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Wanjie shook his head slightly. "First, Jun Xiaoyao possesses both the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body and the Supreme Bone. His strength is not weak."

"If I did not hold the advantage in age and cultivation realm, I might truly be unable to deal with him."

"Second, Yuantian Supreme's Secret Treasury is about to open. If I exhaust myself fighting Jun Xiaoyao, it will affect my condition, and the clan elders may even rebuke me then."

It had to be said that Jun Wanjie, having risen all the way from the bottom of the collateral branch, was no fool.

On the contrary, he was very shrewd.

Earlier, he had merely acted to suppress Jun Zhangjian and Jun Linglong, intending to blunt Jun Xiaoyao's momentum a little.

He had stopped exactly where he should, neither too much nor too little.

That way, the desired effect had been achieved, he would not be blamed by the clan elders, and it would not affect his fight for the secret treasury.

"My lord truly strategizes from behind the curtain. This subordinate never considered that." Black Earth could not help praising him even more.

"Moreover, I dare guarantee that Jun Xiaoyao will endure it for now. At the very least, he will not dare make a move against me until after the matter of the secret treasury is over."

A cold sneer rose at the corners of Jun Wanjie's lips.

However, just as his words fell.

A violent tremor suddenly came from outside the pavilion where he was staying.

"What is going on?"

In the instant Jun Wanjie was distracted, a hand seal descended from the heavens like a falling meteor.

"It's the Human King Seal!"

Jun Wanjie's expression changed abruptly, and he hurriedly darted outside.

Black Earth's face also turned deathly pale as he transformed into a streak of black smoke and fled out.

Boom!

Heaven and earth shook!

The pavilion where Jun Wanjie had been staying was directly reduced to nothingness. A massive pit appeared in its place, with thick cracks spreading in every direction.

Such a disturbance naturally drew the attention of countless people nearby.

"What happened? Did someone make a move?"

"It seems something happened on the Jun Family Fifth Sequence's side. Heavens, someone actually flattened Jun Wanjie's residence!?"

The entirety of South Heaven City erupted into an uproar!

One had to know that this was the residence of the Jun Family's dignified Fifth Sequence.

Forget flattening it—on ordinary days, even passing by it required one to speak softly and tread lightly.

"Look, that person... could he be the Jun Family Divine Child?" A cultivator raised his head and suddenly pointed toward the sky.

Four figures stood in the air above.

Jun Linglong, Jun Xuehuang, and Jun Zhangjian stood slightly behind.

Jun Xiaoyao stood at the very front.

One hand was clasped behind his back, while the other had only just released its hand seal.

Clearly, he had unleashed that Human King Seal.

"Jun... Xiao...yao!"

A cold shout rang out, accompanied by countless bolts of lightning spreading in all directions.

With a thunderous boom, a figure wreathed from head to toe in lightning soared into the air. It was Jun Wanjie!

His gaze locked firmly onto Jun Xiaoyao. It was as though two pools of lightning churned within his eyes, thunder flashing without end.

He had not expected Jun Xiaoyao to be so decisive.

He had just said that Jun Xiaoyao would absolutely not make a move against him before the secret treasury expedition ended.

Yet in the next instant, he had been slapped in the face.

At his side, Black Earth also revealed himself, staring at Jun Xiaoyao with fear in his eyes.

He had only heard Jun Xiaoyao's name before and had never seen him.

This was his first time.

But the impression was certainly profound.

After all, their residence had been turned to nothingness by a single strike from Jun Xiaoyao.

"Jun Xiaoyao, what do you mean by this?" Jun Wanjie said coldly, forcefully suppressing the fury in his heart.

"Who gave you the nerve to touch this Divine Child's people?"

Jun Xiaoyao's tone was calm, yet no less domineering for it.

Jun Linglong's heart pounded wildly.

Many female cultivators watching from the surroundings were equally stirred, wishing they could take Jun Linglong's place.

"I merely punished them a little. I did not truly do anything to them. Is the Divine Child's magnanimity really so small?" Jun Wanjie's tone was icy to the extreme.

"Mm, you are right. My magnanimity is indeed very small. Since that is the case..."

Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly and turned his gaze toward Black Earth.

In that instant, Black Earth's heart plunged into an icy abyss and sank to the very bottom.

"You were the one who started this, weren't you? A brainless follower like you may as well be killed."

As Jun Xiaoyao's words fell, he stretched out his hand.

Vast golden mana erupted like a volcano, intertwining and condensing into a giant golden hand covered in runes.

As it grabbed down, it was as though Five Finger Mountain had descended, its pressure overwhelming.

"No, how is this possible?!" Black Earth was so terrified that his soul nearly fled his body.

It was his first time facing Jun Xiaoyao, so naturally he had not known that Jun Xiaoyao's might could be this terrifying!

It was practically like facing a young Great Emperor.

"Enough, stop!"

Jun Wanjie also raised his hand. Divine lightning intertwined and transformed into a giant thunderous hand, seeking to intercept Jun Xiaoyao.

"When this Divine Child wishes to kill someone, can you stop me?" Jun Xiaoyao shook his head and sighed.

His other hand reached out as Dragon Aura erupted, transforming into a golden dragon claw that collided with Jun Wanjie's attack.

It was precisely the divine ability he had refined from Long Haotian's Dragon Essence: the Dragon-Severing Hand.

Meanwhile, Jun Xiaoyao continued suppressing Black Earth.

Black Earth gritted his teeth and once again used the Black Cloud Clan's unique technique, turning his body into mist.

The giant golden rune hand directly scattered the black mist, but it could not kill him.

"Heh, what Zero Sequence? Nothing more than this. You cannot even kill me, so how can you contend with my lord!"

Black Earth's body gathered together once more. His face was pale and fear still lingered in his heart, but inwardly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that, for the moment, Jun Xiaoyao could do nothing to him.

"Are you truly that brainless?" Jun Xiaoyao tilted his head slightly, as though looking at a clown.

He raised his hand again and activated the Divine Elephant Suppresses Prison Force.

The pitch-black Hell Furnace descended directly from the sky, like a furnace capable of refining gods and demons, unleashing endless suction force.

"No, what is this!?" Black Earth was terrified out of his wits and hurriedly turned into mist again.

Yet all the black mist was instantly sucked into the Hell Furnace and refined.

Black Earth's shrill screams rang out from within.

A moment later, the screams abruptly ceased...
