Starting with Check-In Sacred Body of the Ancients-Chapter 90: The Two Armies Clash Head-On, the Mastermind Behind the Scenes Reveals Himself

Chapter 90 - 90: The Two Armies Clash Head-On, the Mastermind Behind the Scenes Reveals Himself

Outside the imperial capital of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom, the vast allied army of the three great ancient kingdoms attacked once more.

However, on the faces of many soldiers, a lingering sense of trepidation remained.

After all, they had been thoroughly frightened by the Jun family's Four Guards of Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain last time.

But although fear lingered in their hearts, the allied army was not overly panicked.

Because they had heard from their commanding generals that this time, a major figure would be overseeing the battle, and mysterious forces would provide assistance.

Even if the Divine Son of the Jun family intervened, it would be impossible to prevent the destruction of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom.

On the side of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom, preparations had long been made.

Tens of thousands of Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom soldiers guarded the area outside the imperial capital.

The Vermilion Bird Ruler, Bai Yu'er, and others had also appeared.

"Hasn't Lord Divine Son arrived yet?" Bai Yu'er asked an attendant beside her.

"Reporting to the Princess, the message has been delivered. He should be arriving soon," the attendant replied.

"Good." Bai Yu'er nodded slightly.

Without seeing Jun Xiaoyao, her heart could not be at ease.

On the other side, the allied army of the three great ancient kingdoms had already drawn near the imperial capital.

Above the firmament, three figures revealed themselves; they were the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise Rulers.

However, what the Vermilion Bird Ruler and the others noticed was that in the void behind these three, a magnificent bed, exquisitely carved from gold, was suspended.

That's right, it was an incredibly wide bed.

The four corners of the bed were carved with dragon heads.

Gauze curtains also veiled all four sides, but faintly, one could see numerous graceful and beautiful figures within.

This scene left even the Vermilion Bird Ruler somewhat astonished.

Could it be that the mysterious "Young Master" mentioned by the Azure Dragon Ruler was upon that bed?

But this was too bizarre. Who would refine a bed into a flying Dharma artifact?

As the Vermilion Bird Ruler thought of this, his expression suddenly froze.

"Could it be... him?" The Vermilion Bird Ruler's heart sank slightly.

If it was indeed as he guessed, then the situation would not be good.

Even with the backing of the Divine Son of the Jun family, it would likely be extremely troublesome.

"Hehe, Vermilion Bird Ruler, we meet again," the Azure Dragon Ruler chuckled lightly.

This time, he appeared exceptionally confident.

"It seems you still haven't given up your nefarious intentions. Haven't you suffered enough from the last time?" The Vermilion Bird Ruler was equally unyielding.

With the Divine Son of the Jun family backing him, he didn't need to be too afraid of that mysterious "Young Master."

And at this moment, from within that golden dragon bed, an incomparably cold and arrogant voice sounded.

"Vermilion Bird Ruler, this Marquis will give you one last chance. Submit to me, hand over that item, and also..."

The voice paused, then continued.

"Have the Princess Bai Yu'er become this Marquis's concubine."

The cold, arrogant, and rampant tone resounded between heaven and earth.

The faces of the people on the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom's side all flushed red with anger.

The Vermilion Bird Ruler's expression was also incomparably icy, but hearing that mysterious "Young Master" refer to himself as "this Marquis," his heart sank completely.

It was highly probable that it was indeed him, without a doubt.

However, just at this moment.

An even colder and more domineering voice rang out from the firmament.

"Making this Divine Son's person a concubine? What do you think you are?!"

From the depths of the imperial capital, a golden divine radiance erupted.

It was a majestic nine-headed lion, pulling a golden chariot, soaring through the air.

A figure of peerless divine grace stood upon the war chariot, like a white-robed Divine King, his might shaking the universe and the firmament!

And behind him, Jun Zhangjian and the other three, leading the Four Guards of Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain, advanced like four torrents capable of destroying everything!

"The Divine Son of the Jun family is here!"

"That's a top-tier Archaic Royal Clan creature, a Nine-Headed Lion, actually being used to pull a chariot!?"

"And the Four Guards of Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain are here too!"

The allied army of the three great ancient kingdoms instantly fell into commotion.

After all, a shadow still lingered in their hearts.

Not only the Four Guards of Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain, but also Jun Xiaoyao, with his Immortal Slaying Sword Art, annihilating tens of thousands of soldiers with a single sword strike – he was simply a devil!

Jun Xiaoyao stood above the firmament of the imperial capital.

His arrival, along with that of the Four Guards of Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain, calmed the hearts of the people of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom.

Bai Yu'er's eyes, in particular, sparkled, revealing her joy.

Because Jun Xiaoyao had said, "this Divine Son's person."

That meant she belonged to Jun Xiaoyao.

"Divine Son." The Vermilion Bird Ruler slightly cupped his hands towards Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand and looked towards that golden dragon bed.

He already had some guesses; if he wasn't mistaken, it was almost certainly correct.

"Divine Son of the Jun family, truly as arrogant and conceited as the rumors say, with no regard for others."

A cold voice came from the golden dragon bed.

Jun Xiaoyao's earlier rebuke had made him extremely displeased, but due to the might of the Divine Son of the Jun family, he didn't directly erupt in anger.

"It seems the mastermind behind the three great ancient kingdoms is you," Jun Xiaoyao stood with his hands behind his back, his tone light.

"Mastermind? Hehe, this Marquis merely wishes to subdue some subordinate forces," the voice said.

A glint flashed in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.

This statement was clearly an excuse.

His true purpose was the bronze compass passed down through the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms.

Subduing forces was merely a cover.

Moreover, he referred to himself as "this Marquis."

Jun Xiaoyao had already more or less guessed who he was.

"This Divine Son does not like people hiding their faces and showing their tails in front of me. Reveal yourself!"

Jun Xiaoyao's expression was indifferent. He formed a fist seal and punched out.

His current realm was the late stage of the Guiyi realm, far, far more powerful than his previous peak Divine Bridge realm.

The same moves, when unleashed, had a power that was completely incomparable to before.

A lifelike golden dragon coiled around his fist as he punched out – it was the Dragon Fist.

The crowd only heard a dragon's roar as a golden dragon streaked across the sky, smashing towards the golden dragon bed.

Jun Xiaoyao hadn't even augmented it with the power of the Godly Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, but this punch was enough to shatter a thousand-zhang mountain!

"Hmph!"

A cold snort came from within the golden dragon bed.

A palm reached out, mana surging, seemingly transforming into tens of thousands of palms in an instant, striking the void and causing space itself to tremble and overturn slightly.

"Hmm? Primordial Chaos Scattered Hands... It seems it really is him." A glint flashed in Jun Wanjie's eyes.

He had already more or less confirmed the person's identity before, and now that the divine ability was displayed, it revealed his identity even more clearly.

Rumble!

In the void, the two's techniques collided, stirring up vast waves.

Countless people below watched, astounded.

Was this the battle fluctuation of a Guiyi realm prodigy? Why did it feel as terrifying as a Saint's?

Fierce qi waves swept in all directions. Jun Xiaoyao's figure remained motionless.

However, the golden dragon bed was jolted back, and its gauze curtains were all torn and sent flying.

Finally, the figure within was revealed.

Many beautiful concubines were directly killed by this shockwave, lying scattered on the bed.

And in the very center of the bed, a young man wearing a jade crown and a crimson-gold kingly robe, with an unremarkable and featureless face, stared at Jun Xiaoyao with a cold expression.

"It really is you, Panwu Divine Dynasty's Champion Hou!" Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently. (TN: Hou means Marquis, so Champion Hou is Marquis Champion.)
