Chapter 859: Chapter 857: Who Really Lost Out? Ling Yuan Gets Jealous, Collecting the Immortal Ancestral Vein

The sharp sword point was aimed directly at Jun Xiaoyao’s forehead.

Jun Xiaoyao’s expression was indifferent.

Swish!

In the end, the sword stopped three inches before Jun Xiaoyao’s forehead.

Ling Yuan’s jade-like hand trembled slightly.

An indescribable feeling made her extremely conflicted, her emotions mixed.

Anger, shame, hatred, confusion, perplexity.

All kinds of emotions churned in Ling Yuan’s heart.

Her heart had never been so chaotic.

Ling Yuan had always been aloof, standing above others.

In her view, supreme power and peak cultivation were the things she should pursue.

Everything beyond that was insignificant.

Even matters that are highly valued by women, such as love, were deemed trivial.

Because of this, she could ignore the Ancient Emperor’s pursuit and even sneer at it.

But now, this man, who was her destined enemy, had entangled her in such a complex way.

Ling Yuan’s heart was confused for the first time.

However, just as Ling Yuan was torn.

Jun Xiaoyao flicked his finger, flicking away the Immortal Spirit Sword, and coldly said.

"Ling Yuan, remember, don’t play the chaste heroine in front of I, the Divine Son."

"So what if I saw it, do you intend to gouge out my eyes?"

Jun Xiaoyao was not the kind of humble protagonist.

Like accidentally seeing a so-called goddess, and the goddess being ashamed and wanting to gouge out his eyes.

Then the protagonist instantly turns into a lapdog, desperately trying to win the goddess’s heart.

To Jun Xiaoyao, being seen by him was already an honor.

Even someone as noble as Ling Yuan, so what?

No matter how exalted Long Yao’Er’s status was, she’d only be fit to be a bitch at his feet.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan was incredibly ashamed and angry, her delicate body trembling.

Clearly, she was the one who was exposed.

And her bottom was spanked.

Yet Jun Xiaoyao seemed to be the victim.

Who really suffered here?

Ling Yuan suddenly felt incredibly wronged.

No matter how strong and aloof she was, she was ultimately a woman, facing such things naturally evokes resentment.

Seeing this, Jun Xiaoyao calmly said, "Don’t feel wronged, at least I saved your life, otherwise you would have remained trapped in the dream."

Upon hearing these words, Ling Yuan recalled scenes from the dream, her pretty face slightly flushing.

This dream absolutely must not be made known to Jun Xiaoyao.

Ling Yuan took several deep breaths, temporarily calming her emotions.

Indeed, despite her shame and humiliation.

She couldn’t realistically fight to the death with Jun Xiaoyao here.

After a moment of silence, Ling Yuan showed a complicated expression and suddenly asked, "Did you really save me?"

Jun Xiaoyao replied indifferently, "Of course not, I did it for the sake of Celestial Maiden Yuan."

"So, you saved me for Celestial Maiden Yuan?" Ling Yuan retorted.

"What else?"

Ling Yuan felt a surge of anger.

A mysterious feeling of irritation welled up inside her.

There seemed to be a "sour" atmosphere spreading in her heart.

Rescuing her for another woman, what was that supposed to mean?

What did Jun Xiaoyao take her for?

A mere accessory to Celestial Maiden Yuan?

Clearly, Celestial Maiden Yuan was her accessory.

Seeing Ling Yuan’s expression, Jun Xiaoyao coldly laughed and said, "Ling Yuan, do you really think I, the Divine Son, would kindly and sincerely save you?"

"I am not that naive!"

Ling Yuan’s expression turned cold, she turned away, no longer looking at Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao shook his head.

This Empress who was incredibly aloof before others.

Was a stubborn tsundere before him.

Jun Xiaoyao ignored Ling Yuan and turned to leave the space.

Seeing Jun Xiaoyao completely uninterested in her, Ling Yuan bit her red lips lightly.

She genuinely wanted to bite Jun Xiaoyao hard!

But despite her anger, Ling Yuan still followed Jun Xiaoyao out.

The space rippled.

Jun Xiaoyao and Ling Yuan appeared on the altar beneath the Ancestral Vein.

They did not find the figures of Meng Zhan and the Quasi-Supreme Venerable of the Celestial Demon King Race.

The two of them followed the passage back to the Immortal Ancestral Vein.

Looking around, there were numerous skeletons on the ground.

There were Exotic Realm creatures, as well as those from the Meng Family’s side.

All the skeletons had been shattered into a mass of bloodied pulp.

"It should be the pressure emitted when the Divine Thought emerged, directly killing all surrounding creatures," Jun Xiaoyao speculated.

At this moment, a figure stumbled from the distant mountains.

It was Meng Zhan.

At this moment, Meng Zhan was covered in wounds, blood flowing.

But his expression was filled with extreme excitement and joy as he spoke: "Divine Son, Empress, you are still alive, that’s wonderful."

When the Divine Thought emerged, Meng Zhan thought that Jun Xiaoyao and Ling Yuan might have met with disaster.

Unexpectedly, they managed to escape alive.

"Just lucky," Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.

He also had a suspicion that the Divine Thought didn’t act against him.

It should be related to the Lotus Seed in the Spring of Life.

Meng Zhan looked at Jun Xiaoyao and Ling Yuan, discovering that they didn’t have any injuries, and couldn’t help but be amazed.

The only thing that made Meng Zhan’s gaze a bit strange was.

Ling Yuan seemed a bit unusual.

Her face was like the morning glow, her skin still bore a flush, yet her expression was icy.

That appearance, extremely resembled a sulking young bride.

Meng Zhan looked back at Jun Xiaoyao, and couldn’t help but have a guess in his mind.

Could it be that in the extremity of life and death, some wonderful relationship developed between the two?

Thinking of this, Meng Zhan looked at Jun Xiaoyao with a gaze filled with a man’s admiration.

After all, being able to conquer even an archenemy, Jun Xiaoyao’s means with women were impressive indeed.

Jun Xiaoyao directly ignored Meng Zhan’s admiring gaze and asked, "Captain, what is the situation here?"

"Oh, it’s like this..."

Then, Meng Zhan told Jun Xiaoyao about some things outside.

For example, earlier, when he was entwined with the Quasi-Supreme Venerable of the Celestial Demon King Race beneath the Ancestral Vein, he sensed a terrifying aura.

He immediately understood that the Divine Thought must have broken free.

Then they retreated simultaneously.

Later, the Divine Thought manifested, and just its aura shocked and killed a large number of creatures.

The Divine Thought did not deliberately slaughter but simply left.

Seeing the Divine Thought leave, those surviving experts of the Celestial Demon King Race, along with other Exotic Realm creatures, also retreated, seemingly to report the situation.

Meng Zhan also retreated with the remaining team members to heal.

He was just preparing to slightly recover from his injuries and then go find Jun Xiaoyao.

Unexpectedly, Jun Xiaoyao emerged directly.

"So that’s how it is." Jun Xiaoyao understood.

The Divine Thought either went to join other Divine Thoughts or went to the location of the World Tree.

Because the Divine Thought, to break open the entire Divine Ruins World, cannot do without the World Tree.

And that, was Jun Xiaoyao’s opportunity!

"What does the Divine Son plan to do next?" Meng Zhan inquired.

Jun Xiaoyao had now become the backbone of this team.

His ability was evident to everyone.

Even surviving at the hands of the Divine Thought was astonishing.

"Since the Divine Thought has broken free, the only option is to find other Divine Thoughts."

"However, you are all injured, so it’s best to rest and recuperate here for a while. As for me, I’m quite interested in this Immortal Ancestral Vein," Jun Xiaoyao said.

Meng Zhan nodded slightly.

Jun Xiaoyao’s contribution was the greatest.

It was understandable for him to acquire the Immortal Ancestral Vein.

"You want the entire Immortal Ancestral Vein for yourself?" Ling Yuan suddenly interjected.

"What, do you have an issue with it? Don’t forget whose grace saved your life," Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.

Ling Yuan was left speechless, her exquisite jade face turning red with shame and anger.

Meng Zhan looked at the two, thinking it must be so indeed.

The heirs of the two immortal influences, who were supposed to be at odds, actually sparked this kind of chemistry.

Marvelous indeed...

"Such a large Immortal Ancestral Vein, be careful not to burst from it!" Ling Yuan crossed her jade-like arms before her chest and said coldly.

"That’s none of Young Emperor Ling Yuan’s concern."

Jun Xiaoyao laughed coldly, raised his hand, and a vast magical power surged.

The Devouring God Demon Technique was directly executed, and with its fierce suction, the entire massive Immortal Ancestral Vein was uprooted!

Then, under Ling Yuan’s astonished gaze, Jun Xiaoyao absorbed it into his body.
