Chapter 87

Hearing this, the face of the Suzaku Nation's ruler became very solemn.

The identity of the young master who could make the three ancient nations submit and possessed such terrifying power was clearly not low.

However, thinking of Jun Xiaoyao, the Suzaku Nation's ruler's heart calmed down.

No matter how high the young master's status, could it compare to Jun Xiaoyao?

No matter how strong the backing force, could it compare to the ancient Jun family?

So the Suzaku Nation's ruler was not worried at all.

"Alright, let's return to the palace. I also have some matters to ask you," Jun Xiaoyao said.

On one hand, he needed to check in at the Suzaku Ancient Nation's palace.

On the other hand, he also wanted to ask some questions.

"Yes, please, Divine Son!"

The Suzaku Nation's ruler personally led the way.

Jun Xiaoyao stepped onto the golden war chariot and followed behind.

"Ah, just got warmed up, and it's over already," Jun Zhangjian twisted his wrist and said.

They, the few Sequence members, had also engaged in battle just now.

"It won't be that easy to end. They will likely come again in a few days," Jun Linglong said.

She possessed the Seven Apertures Linglong Heart, with a sharp mind, and knew that the young master behind the three ancient nations would not give up easily.

"Hmph, so what if they come? Can they stir up any waves in front of the young master?" Jun Wanjie sneered.

In front of the ancient Jun family, even a dragon would have to coil, and a tiger would have to lie down!

Next, Jun Xiaoyao also entered the capital city.

All the citizens of the Suzaku Ancient Nation knelt and bowed to Jun Xiaoyao.

Countless cheers and praises for Jun Xiaoyao echoed in all directions.

Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained very calm.

These people regarded him as a savior, a benevolent saint.

In fact, he was merely protecting a pawn in his hand.

But such a free good reputation, he wouldn't refuse.

After all, many geniuses were already calling Jun Xiaoyao a devil.

Jun Xiaoyao also needed to shape his image a bit; he wasn't a devil.

At most, he just liked to reap benefits.

After entering the Suzaku Ancient Nation's palace, Jun Xiaoyao heard a system notification in his mind.

"Ding, you have arrived at the Suzaku Ancient Nation's palace. Do you want to check in?"

"Check in," Jun Xiaoyao muttered.

"Ding, congratulations, host. You have obtained a four-star reward: an ancient holy weapon, the ancient zither, Phoenix Chanting at Qishan!"

After the system's voice fell silent, Jun Xiaoyao immediately sensed it.

In his spatial artifact, a crimson-golden ancient zither appeared.

The entire zither was slender, with phoenix and mountain patterns on its surface, dark gold inlaid edges, appearing low-key yet luxurious and refined.

The seven strings were all crimson crystal, looking very splendid and dazzling, extremely eye-catching.

"Turns out it's a zither," Jun Xiaoyao muttered.

Was the system trying to cultivate his temperament?

However, this ancient zither was a rare ancient holy weapon, not an ordinary item.

Ordinary sages mostly used ancient holy weapons.

Moreover, this Phoenix Chanting at Qishan was clearly not just for entertainment.

Previously, Jun Xiaoyao's mysterious protector had turned the zither's sound into a blade, capable of severely injuring even a sage.

So, the Phoenix Chanting at Qishan zither, even as a weapon, had considerable power.

"Not a bad deal," Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

He just casually checked in, and the system gave him an ancient holy weapon for free.

"Looks like I can play the zither in the future. Fortunately, I heard some famous pieces in my past life and haven't forgotten them," Jun Xiaoyao thought.

"Divine Son, is something wrong?" The Suzaku Nation's ruler asked when he saw Jun Xiaoyao standing still.

"Nothing, let's go," Jun Xiaoyao said.

Afterward, the Suzaku Nation's ruler led Jun Xiaoyao to a luxurious building.

Jun Xiaoyao let Jun Zhangjian and the others rest on their own.

In the entire building, only Jun Xiaoyao, the Suzaku Nation's ruler, and Bai Yuer remained.

Jun Xiaoyao said, "I have a question to ask you."

"Please, Divine Son," the Suzaku Nation's ruler said respectfully.

"Do you have any historical secrets in your four ancient nations?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

The Suzaku Nation's ruler pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest, according to historical records, the predecessor of our four ancient nations was an ancient imperial dynasty close to an immortal force, called the Four Symbols Ancient Nation."

"The founder of the Four Symbols Ancient Nation was an unparalleled supreme being named the Four Symbols Supreme Being. The founders of our four ancient nations, Qinglong Senior, Baihu Senior, Suzaku Senior, and Xuanwu Senior, were the four disciples of the Four Symbols Supreme Being."

The Suzaku Nation's ruler's explanation made Jun Xiaoyao raise an eyebrow slightly.

He didn't expect the four ancient nations to have such historical roots.

"So, Qinglong Nation's ruler's goal is likely to unify the four ancient nations, making them the Four Symbols Ancient Nation again, and then become the ruler himself," Jun Xiaoyao speculated.

"However, what is the purpose of the young master behind him? Is it just to control the Four Symbols Ancient Nation?" Jun Xiaoyao was puzzled.

Bai Yuer, standing nearby, bit her lip and said, "Divine Son, I have a guess."

"Oh, go on," Jun Xiaoyao said.

"I think the young master behind them is likely trying to gather the bronze compass components of the four ancient nations," Bai Yuer said.

"Bronze compass components?" Jun Xiaoyao's gaze was unfathomable.

The Suzaku Nation's ruler then explained.

It turned out that the Four Symbols Supreme Being, who founded the Four Symbols Ancient Nation, had once obtained a bronze compass by chance.

That bronze compass was related to a great secret.

Later, this news somehow leaked out, and many powerful beings wanted to seize the compass from the Four Symbols Supreme Being.

The Four Symbols Supreme Being was besieged and severely injured.

He secretly divided the bronze compass into four parts and gave them to his four disciples, Qinglong Senior and the others.

Later, the four disciples each founded a nation, which became the current four ancient nations.

The one-quarter bronze compass component became an ancient heirloom passed down through generations in the four ancient nations.

"Let me see the component," Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.

The Suzaku Nation's ruler nodded obediently.

If anyone else dared to have designs on the bronze compass component, the Suzaku Nation's ruler would have slapped them long ago.

But when Jun Xiaoyao spoke, he immediately took it out without hesitation.

As soon as Jun Xiaoyao saw the component, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Because he discovered that the bronze compass component was made of the same material as the bronze fragment in the wooden box.

And that bronze fragment was related to one of the seven great mysteries, the Bronze Immortal Hall.

"I see, I understand. No wonder the Four Symbols Supreme Being was besieged. This bronze compass indeed involves a great secret, the Bronze Immortal Hall!"

Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

This was definitely a great secret.

Now he understood the young master's purpose.

He must have also learned that the bronze compass was related to the Bronze Immortal Hall.

"This compass is interesting," Jun Xiaoyao said, playing with it.

The Suzaku Nation's ruler, reading his expression, immediately said, "Since the Divine Son likes it, I will give it to you."

Jun Xiaoyao nodded in satisfaction. This Suzaku Nation's ruler was quite perceptive.

"The other three components are likely already in the young master's hands. Now, even if he doesn't come to cause trouble, I will have to find him,"

Jun Xiaoyao smiled his usual smile.

But those familiar with this smile, like Jun Zhangjian, knew.

This smile meant that Jun Xiaoyao was about to start reaping benefits again...
