#443 - Dragon's Reverse Scale

Jun Wuxie's complete loss of cultivation had led to the formation of the "Punish Jun Alliance," and the daily verbal attacks against him had yet to cease.

The Meitong Clan's announcement of a piece of news was like dropping a second bombshell into the turbulent world.

Not to mention ordinary people, even the high-level figures of major forces were shocked.

They were originally still contemplating Jun Wuxie's situation.

Who would have thought that the Meitong Clan would release such news?

"The Meitong Clan actually managed to get on the boat of the unfathomable Ancient Phoenix Sect?"

"They are truly willing to go to any lengths, even abandoning their last shred of dignity, actually having Yan Qingcheng abdicate and marry a prodigy disciple of the Ancient Phoenix Sect?"

"The Meitong Clan has truly racked its brains for the sake of the family's future prosperity!"

"Heh heh, the Meitong Clan will probably become the laughingstock of the world in secret discussions, right?"

"The Clan Head and the Saintess, who are also master and disciple, are simultaneously marrying a disciple of the Ancient Phoenix Sect?"

"Such a thing, since the establishment of the major Overlord-level forces, is probably the first time, ha, they really dare to pioneer this unprecedented event!"

… …

While privately mocking, the high-level figures of the major forces also felt very solemn.

If the Meitong Clan truly formed a solid marital relationship with the Ancient Phoenix Sect, then their status would inevitably rise, and with the Ancient Phoenix Sect's secret support, any force would have to think twice before trying to move against them.

The world's only Supreme Overlord, the Heavenly Purity Sect, is called the only one because, besides the two forbidden zones, there are also two major forces that have not participated in the strength assessment.

Those two major forces are the Ancient Phoenix Sect and the Golden Ancient City.

The origins of these two forces are extremely terrifying, and it is very likely that they have some kind of connection with the existences in the Divine Phoenix Mountain and the Golden Ancient Mine, the two major life-forbidden zones.

How terrifying are the two forbidden zones?

Powerful existences like the Heavenly Purity Sect and the Soul Hunting Hall have never dared to approach any area within a thousand miles of the Divine Phoenix Mountain or the Golden Ancient Mine.

Legend has it that there are other worlds within the two forbidden zones, and the space-time inside does not belong to the same world as the outside.

The existences in the forbidden zones are very likely to be creatures that have surpassed the highest realm limitations of this world!

"It's hard to believe that the Meitong Clan would actually agree!"

In the Northern Plains, in the forbidden area of the Ice Cloud Tower, the four female guardians, Tianyu, Diyu, Ganyu, and Kunyu, were all shocked.

People from the Ancient Phoenix Sect had also come to the Ice Cloud Tower and made such a request, trying to get the Tower Master, Mu Xuelan, to marry them.

But how could they agree? They flatly refused.

But the Meitong Clan actually agreed?

"Forget it, let's not worry about other people's affairs. Have you noticed that Xuelan is becoming more and more strange?"

"Yes, very strange!"

"She has not given us a reasonable explanation for her reckless attempt to save Jun Wuxie in the Great Zhou Capital. After returning, she said that she had some insights and wanted to retreat for cultivation. I think she is simply avoiding our questioning!"

"Let her go, it's good if she can calm down and cultivate. Maybe she really has some enlightenment and has stepped into the Saint Sect realm?"

"It won't be too late to ask her when Xuelan comes out of seclusion. Ever since returning from the Dragon Ridge Mountains, she has always been restless. There must have been something that happened inside!"

"Other things are easy to say, the most terrifying thing is that I seem to have seen an emotion in her eyes that shouldn't be there…"

"What emotion?"

The three of them looked at the Tianyu Guardian.

"Longing!"

"What? How is that possible? The women of my Ice Cloud Tower cultivate the 【Ice Muscle Jade Bone Art】, their hearts are as still as water, and they are pure and desireless. How could they have that kind of emotion?"

"Yes, Senior Sister, are you mistaken? Xuelan is the Tower Master. Her Dao heart was the best among her peers when she was still a Saintess. She has cultivated to her current realm and holds the high position of Tower Master. How could she?"

The Tianyu Guardian slowly closed her beautiful eyes and coldly said something that made the other three Guardians' expressions change drastically: "Not only that, but her virginity has been broken, she is no longer a virgin…"

"Absolutely impossible!"

The Diyu, Ganyu, and Kunyu Guardians stood up in shock, looking at the Tianyu Guardian in disbelief.

"Do you think I would be mistaken?"

The Tianyu Guardian opened her eyes and stared at them.

It took the three of them a long time to recover, trembling with anger.

"Senior Sister, why didn't you tell us earlier?"

The Tianyu Guardian shook her head and said, "I want Xuelan to voluntarily tell me how she lost her virginity. If she was bullied, even if we exhaust the power of the entire sect, we must make that person pay the price! But if…"

"What if? Xuelan must have been plotted against by a lecherous thief!"

"I hope so." The Tianyu Guardian sighed and said, "It seems that we can't wait for her to take the initiative to speak. When she comes out of seclusion, we must make her tell the truth. If she has truly violated the sect's rules, we must severely punish her, otherwise, how can we be worthy of the past patriarchs!"

… …

Zongwang Mountain, in the peach forest.

Jun Wuxie was sitting cross-legged under a peach tree, with Lingfei, who had returned some time ago, quietly guarding beside him.

He transformed his powerful divine sense into thousands of strands, scattering them into every inch of flesh and blood, every corner of his body.

He tried to awaken the dormant power, but after repeated attempts hundreds of times, there was still no movement.

He tried to awaken the power by activating the Chaos Origin Bone, but ultimately failed.

The vast power was clearly hidden in his body, but it was like a pool of stagnant water. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make it regain its activity.

A few times, it seemed like he was about to succeed.

Unexpectedly, what was almost activated was actually the Nine Heavens Blood Essence Qi scattered in his body.

At that moment, it made his hair stand on end.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and stopped in time, otherwise, even a trace of the Nine Heavens Blood Essence Qi was definitely not something his weak body could withstand, and he would inevitably explode into a bloody mess in an instant.

Huff!

He heavily exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes.

The blood and Qi in his body were still churning, and his flesh and meridians had a strong sense of pain.

That was the consequence of the Nine Heavens Blood Essence Qi almost being stimulated.

Even if he stopped it in time, it still shook his internal organs almost out of place, and his meridians were almost torn apart.

"Young Master, still no success?"

Lingfei stepped forward, took out a handkerchief with grass and wood embroidery, and carefully wiped the sweat from his face.

Jun Wuxie shook his head, looked at her noble temperament and stunningly beautiful face, and said, "These years, you have been following me, have you ever felt wronged in your heart?"

Lingfei was slightly stunned, and her beautiful eyes seemed to have stars twinkling in them, and said, "At first, I did, I was helpless at that time, and could only serve by your side, but gradually I didn't."

"Why?"

"Because your excellence conquered me, and also because I understood your former strength. Being by your side, what grievances do I have? After sleeping for such a long time, now, in my whole world, you are the only one, Young Master."

"I will take you to the God Realm in the future, and we will help Yao'er restore her physical body together…"

Jun Wuxie stretched out his arms and gently embraced Lingfei in his arms.

Yueyao's matter had made him deeply reflect on himself.

When you have it, treat the people around you better.

Don't try to be brave anymore, don't repeat the same mistakes, life can never experience the pain that cannot be endured a second time!

If it weren't for the Eternal Life Heart Lock locking Yueyao's wisp of true soul, his world, his life, would be forever trapped in endless darkness.

"Yes, Yao'er sister will definitely be able to recover…"

Lingfei leaned her body in his broad arms and said softly.

After a moment, their bodies separated.

Jun Wuxie fell into deep thought again.

Now, all the conventional methods have been exhausted, and he still can't recover his strength.

He didn't know what was going on with Ye Qingxue. He had looked for her, but didn't get a response.

Could the World Tree help?

Thinking like this, he was about to communicate with the World Tree.

But a figure came in a hurry.

"Brother Su Ji, do you have something to say?"

Jun Wuxie looked at Su Ji who came to him. If there was nothing wrong, other than him and the woman beside him, no one else would enter the peach forest casually.

"There is something, but after you hear it, you must be calm and don't be impulsive!"

Su Ji's solemn expression made Jun Wuxie realize that something big had really happened, and it must be closely related to him. His heart skipped a beat.

"Speak."

Jun Wuxie looked at him calmly.

"There are two things." Su Ji said after a slight pause: "The first thing is that the matter of your complete loss of cultivation has been leaked. Major forces are promoting public opinion in the world, defining you as a person of sinful blood, saying that you have sinful blood flowing in your body. Now, in the major cities of the world, what 【Punish Jun Alliance】 has been established to verbally criticize you and claim that they will come to the Great Zhou to judge your sins."

"Heh…"

Jun Wuxie was stunned when he heard it, and then the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he smiled lightly.

"Wuxie, although those people are clowns, but now that you are no longer strong, if they really come, have you ever thought about how to deal with it? With your character, it is probably impossible for you to hide in Zongwang Mountain and not show up…"

Su Ji was a little worried. He naturally understood the young man's temperament, and as a disciple of the Military Saint, how could a soldier retreat in the face of a group of villains?

"According to the news from our Jubaosai, the so-called 【Punish Jun Alliance】 is already on the road, and many people are rushing to the Great Zhou."

"They can come, tell me about the second thing."

Jun Wuxie didn't react much, even if he had no cultivation now, he was still very calm.

"This second thing…" Su Ji was silent for a moment before saying: "It's about the Yan Clan Head."

"Qingcheng? What happened to her?"

Jun Wuxie's calm eyes suddenly burst out with a cold light.

"You need to calm down!" Su Ji said, "The Enchanting Eye Clan announced to the world yesterday and invited all the major forces to be guests on the Yan Clan Head's birthday. Their guardian will personally preside over the event and, on that day, will have the Yan Clan Head abdicate to the Deputy Clan Head, Yan Yuqing…"

Yan Yuqing?

Jun Wuxie was not familiar with this name. He had only heard of Yan Yu, Yan Qingcheng's rival.

"The Enchanting Eye Clan announced to the world that they will have a marriage alliance with the Ancient Phoenix Sect on that day, and the person marrying the Ancient Phoenix Sect is the abdicated Yan Clan Head. The other party is a young prodigy from the Ancient Phoenix Sect named Gu Yu. At the same time, the Yan Clan Head's personal disciple, the Enchanting Eye Clan's Holy Maiden Yan Ruyu, will also be betrothed to Gu Wei of the Ancient Phoenix Sect…"

The muscles on Jun Wuxie's face stiffened, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

"Wuxie?"

Seeing that he was silent, his face frighteningly gloomy, and his eyes becoming fierce and cold, Su Ji couldn't help but shudder, recalling the look in his eyes when he transformed into a Shura.

"I understand," he said in a calm tone. "What is the background of the Ancient Phoenix Sect?"

"A mysterious and powerful sect, likely related to the Divine Phoenix Mountain in the Life Forbidden Zone, an existence that even the Heavenly Purity Sect wouldn't dare to offend."

Su Ji said, then added with a hint of mockery, "We heard that Gu Yu even sent people to the Ice Cloud Tower, wanting to marry both the Yan Clan Head and楼主 Mu, truly wishful thinking. However, the Ice Cloud Tower has precepts, so their guardian flatly refused, but the Enchanting Eye Clan's guardian agreed. Now, the whole world is laughing at the Enchanting Eye Clan."

Ancient Phoenix Sect? Divine Phoenix Mountain in the Life Forbidden Zone?

Jun Wuxie realized that the backing behind this Ancient Phoenix Sect was extremely terrifying!

But so what?

This time, whether it was the Enchanting Eye Clan's guardian or the Ancient Phoenix Sect, they had all touched his bottom line!

"By the way, did the Enchanting Eye Clan ever mention to you the matter of marrying the Holy Maiden to you?"

"Marry the Holy Maiden to me?"

Jun Wuxie was a little baffled.

"Hehe, it seems they were just wishful thinking before!" Su Ji obtained the answer from his reaction and said in a deep voice, "The Enchanting Eye Clan announced to the world that they originally intended to marry the Holy Maiden Yan Ruyu to you, but unfortunately, your cultivation was completely crippled, and you were not worthy of their Holy Maiden. Now, they will marry her to the Ancient Phoenix Sect's prodigy, forging a good match and achieving a celestial union."

"Are they out of their minds?" Jun Wuxie was immediately amused by this. "I was not aware of this matter at all. What Enchanting Eye Clan Holy Maiden? They can announce their wishful thinking to the world, taking the opportunity to step on me. Do they really think that just because my cultivation is gone, I, Jun Wuxie, can be arbitrarily manipulated and humiliated?"

He really couldn't figure out what the Enchanting Eye Clan's guardian was trying to achieve by doing this.

"Wuxie, you need to stay calm. I can tell that you have a special relationship with the Yan Clan Head. I didn't want to tell you, but after thinking about it, I felt you should have the right to know."

After Su Ji finished speaking, he patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave.
