Chapter 65

In the depths of the Yuan Tian Secret Treasury, a thick gray mist permeated the air.

A heavy silence enveloped the place, as if it had frozen for eternity.

Amidst this silence, a figure shrouded in golden light appeared.

It was Ji Xuan.

Although the Yuan Tian Supreme Secret Treasury had undergone some kind of anomaly, Ji Xuan was not deterred.

His understanding of this secret treasury was far deeper than that of others.

Moreover, he had unexpectedly discovered an ancient rune in a scripture hall of the Holy Spirit Academy, which was related to this supreme secret treasury.

Furthermore, as the pride of the Ji family, Ji Xuan naturally possessed treasures for self-protection and escape.

If all else failed, he could directly use a great teleportation rune to leave, even if it might mean losing an opportunity, it would ensure his survival.

With these multiple means at his disposal, Ji Xuan found it hard to imagine any danger befalling him.

Therefore, Ji Xuan was now very confident, with a clear plan in mind.

"The Yuan Tian Supreme, with his formidable strength, once wreaked havoc in the Ancestor Dragon's nest, tearing apart the Supreme of the Ten Thousand Phoenix Spirit Mountain, and almost no one dared to provoke him."

"But in the end, he fell into obscurity and withdrew from the historical stage."

"Rumors say that before his fall, he went to a foreign land and seemed to have brought back a rare treasure..."

"If one could obtain that treasure, it might forge an invincible young supreme."

Ji Xuan muttered to himself as he walked.

These pieces of information were recorded in the ancient texts.

Although Ji Xuan could not verify their authenticity, he felt that they were likely true based on the ancient rune.

At this moment, Ji Xuan suddenly stopped.

His face carried an indescribable expression.

He then turned his head and scanned the dark depths behind him.

There was complete silence.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Ji Xuan's mouth. He raised his right hand and pressed it toward the dark depths.

Instantly, divine light burst forth, runes scattered, and a brilliant magical force hand appeared, as if it could obliterate everything!

This was the power of the Sage King's hand bone.

Boom!

The darkness was illuminated, and a great tremor occurred. A figure flashed out, emitting a cold aura that seemed to freeze the void.

It was Jun Xuehuang!

"I wondered why I felt someone following me, it turns out to be you, Jun Xuehuang." Ji Xuan's expression was calm and cold.

"When did you notice?" Jun Xuehuang frowned slightly.

Even though she had been discovered by Ji Xuan, she remained composed and showed no panic.

If it were anyone else, they would have been terrified upon being discovered while following Ji Xuan.

But Jun Xuehuang was the seventh in the Jun family's lineage, and she had the confidence to face off against Ji Xuan.

"What are you going to do now?" Jun Xuehuang stood gracefully, her slender and elegant figure.

Her ice-blue eyes were calm, showing no ripples.

If it were anyone else, they would have been terrified upon being discovered while following Ji Xuan.

But Jun Xuehuang, as the seventh in the Jun family's lineage, had the confidence to face off against Ji Xuan.

"What am I going to do, hah, I didn't want to have any conflict with your Jun family, but your actions are too much!"

Ji Xuan's expression suddenly turned serious, and he directly extended his hand to attack Jun Xuehuang.

He didn't want to have a conflict with the Jun family either.

After all, Jun Xiaoyao's reputation was too great, and it was impossible to say he had no reservations.

But now, the Jun family was clearly following him to reap the benefits.

If Ji Xuan continued to yield, he would be seen as a coward.

Moreover, in terms of background, his Ji family was not much weaker than the Jun family.

Therefore, Ji Xuan did not hesitate and attacked directly.

Jun Xuehuang raised her eyebrows and retaliated.

It had to be said that Ji Xuan's right arm, which was fused with the Sage King's hand bone, was truly divine and transcendent.

The aura it emitted could even help Ji Xuan resist the erosion of the gray mist.

But Jun Xuehuang was different; she had to allocate part of her strength to resist the erosion of the gray mist.

This gray mist also had a subtle suppressive force.

Under these conditions, Jun Xuehuang's strength was at least reduced by thirty to forty percent.

Ji Xuan, relying on the Sage King's hand bone, was almost unaffected.

"Imperial Fist!"

Ji Xuan's right arm clenched into a fist, and he struck out with a powerful punch.

A sense of imperial will spread out, and the fist glow was astonishing.

Jun Xuehuang's jade hand swept out, and a crystalline ice shield formed in front of her.

Boom!

With a cracking sound, the ice shield shattered, and Jun Xuehuang was pushed back, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of her lips.

Jun Xuehuang was injured.

"Jun Xuehuang, here, you are not my match. Also, tell Jun Xiaoyao to stop targeting me, or else..."

"Be careful not to lose more than you gain!" Ji Xuan's tone was indifferent.

Jun Xuehuang's gaze was sharp. "Are you threatening our Divine Son?"

"You can think of it that way." Ji Xuan's tone was calm.

He possessed the ancient rune, and the Yuan Tian Supreme Secret Treasury was his domain.

If Jun Xiaoyao dared to target him, he would surely receive a painful lesson!

Seeing Jun Xuehuang's cold expression, Ji Xuan frowned slightly.

He didn't want to be delayed by Jun Xuehuang.

Thinking of this, Ji Xuan glanced around.

He noticed many dark, mottled coffins in the depths of the darkness.

Ji Xuan remembered the ancient texts, which mentioned that these coffins might contain great evils corrupted by the gray mist.

Thinking of this, Ji Xuan took action, not against Jun Xuehuang, but against the coffins.

Boom!

Ji Xuan's palm struck out, and the coffins shattered, releasing surging black gas.

Then, decayed demonic corpses covered in black fur emerged.

Ji Xuan took out the ancient rune he had obtained, which looked ancient and dark, with intricate runes carved on it.

The black-furred demonic corpses, upon seeing the ancient rune, seemed to be wary and did not dare to approach, instead targeting Jun Xuehuang.

"Ji Xuan, you!"

Jun Xuehuang was furious, her face pale, not expecting Ji Xuan to use such a tactic.

"Ha, Jun Xuehuang, I didn't kill you. Whether you can survive depends on you."

Ji Xuan smiled, turned, and left.

Watching Ji Xuan's figure disappear into the darkness, Jun Xuehuang's expression was somewhat grim.

Although the demonic corpses, after years of decay, were far weaker than they were in life, they were still too much for Jun Xuehuang to handle alone.

Roar!

The demonic corpses let out eerie howls and pounced at Jun Xuehuang.

Jun Xuehuang could only fight back and retreat step by step.

On the other side, Jun Xiaoyao, who had received a message from Jun Zhangjian, was also heading there with Jiang Shengyi and Jun Wanrao.

As for the nine-headed lion and Jun Linglong, since they did not have the Yuan Tian Supreme Order, they could not enter the depths of the secret treasury and could only search for other opportunities in the outer layers.

Not long after, Jun Xiaoyao arrived at an ancient teleportation array.

Jun Zhangjian was already waiting there.

Seeing Jun Xiaoyao arrive, his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward, bowing. "Divine Son, you have arrived."

"Where is Jun Xuehuang?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

"She went to follow Ji Xuan alone and asked me to wait here for the Divine Son." Jun Zhangjian replied.

Hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao frowned.

"Ji Xuan must have some plans for the Yuan Tian Secret Treasury and is certainly prepared."

"If Jun Xuehuang is careless, she will suffer."

Jun Xiaoyao's tone was slightly heavy, and he then waved his sleeve and stepped onto the teleportation array.

On one hand, he needed to confirm Jun Xuehuang's situation.

On the other hand, he also wanted to see what rewards he could obtain.
