Upon hearing that, the king's expression became very solemn.
To be able to make the three ancient kingdoms submit and possess such a terrifying force, the background of that young master was obviously not low.
However, the king's heart settled down at the thought of Jun Xiaoyao being around.
No matter how important that young master was, could he compare to Jun Xiaoyao?
No matter how powerful the forces behind him were, could they compare to the Jun family of the Ancients?
As such, the king wasn't worried at all.
"Alright, let's head back to the palace. I have some questions for you guys," Jun Xiaoyao said.
On one hand, he wanted to check-in at the royal palace of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix.
On the other hand, he also wanted to ask some questions.
"Yes, please, Divine Child!"
The king personally led the way.
Jun Xiaoyao stepped onto the golden chariot and followed behind.
Jun Zhangjian twisted his wrist and said, "Hey, we just warmed up and it's over already."
Several of the sequences had also joined the fight just now.
"It won't end so easily. I'm afraid they'll come back in a few days," Jun Linglong said.
She possessed the Heart of Qiqiao Linglong, so she was smart enough to know that the young master behind the three Ancient Kingdoms would never let the matter rest.
"Hmph, so what if they come here? Do you think they can stir up any waves in front of the Divine Child?" Jun Wanjie sneered.
In front of the Jun family of the Clan of the Ancients, even a dragon would have to be coiled up. Even a tiger would have to lie down!
Jun Xiaoyao then entered the imperial capital.
All the citizens of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix knelt and kowtowed before Jun Xiaoyao.
Countless cheers and praises for Jun Xiaoyao spread in all directions.
On the other hand, Jun Xiaoyao looked very calm.
These people saw him as their savior and a kind saint.
He was just protecting a pawn in his hand.
However, it would've been a waste not to have such a good reputation.
After all, many geniuses were already calling Jun Xiaoyao a devil.
Jun Xiaoyao also needed to shape his image a little. He was no devil.
At most, he preferred to harvest leeks.
As soon as Jun Xiaoyao stepped into the royal palace of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix, he heard a system prompt in his mind.
"Ding, you have arrived at the royal palace of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix. Do you wish to check-in?"
"Check-in," Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving a four-star reward: Ancient Sacred Weapon, Guqin, Phoenix Cry Qi Mountain!"
Jun Xiaoyao immediately sensed the system's voice.
A crimson zither with a golden luster appeared in his interspatial artifact.
The ancient zither had a long and slender shape. The surface of the zither was engraved with patterns of the mountains of phoenixes and adorned with dark golden borders, making it appear low-key and luxurious.
Each of the seven strings was crimson in color, making them look extremely gorgeous and dazzling.
"It's actually a zither." Jun Xiaoyao remained silent.
Was the system asking him to cultivate his character?
However, the zither was a rare Ancient Sacred Weapon, so it was no ordinary item.
Generally speaking, saints would only use Ancient Sacred Weapons.
Furthermore, it was obvious that the Phoenix Cry Qi Mountain was more than just a place for entertainment.
Previously, Jun Xiaoyao's mysterious guardian turned the sound of the zither into a lethal blade that could even severely wound saints.
As such, even if the Zither of the Phoenix Cry was used as a weapon, its power could not be underestimated.
'Not exactly a loss,' Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
He simply signed a check-in and the system gave him an Ancient Sacred Weapon for free.
'Looks like I'll be able to play the zither when I'm free in the future. Fortunately, I've heard some famous songs in my past life, so I haven't forgotten about them,' Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
"What is it, Divine Child?" the king asked when he saw Jun Xiaoyao standing where he was.
"Nothing. Let's go," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Afterward, the king led Jun Xiaoyao to a luxurious building.
Jun Xiaoyao told Jun Zhangjian and the others to rest by themselves.
Jun Xiaoyao, the king of the Kingdom of Phoenix, and Bai Yu'er were the only ones left in the entire building.
Jun Xiaoyao said, "I have something to ask you."
"Please speak, Divine Child," the king said respectfully.
"Are there any historical secrets among the four ancient kingdoms?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
The king pondered for a moment before saying, "To be honest, according to historical records, the Four Ancient Kingdoms were once an ancient kingdom close to the Immortal Realm. Their name was the Ancient Kingdom of the Four Symbols."
"The founder of the Ancient Kingdom of Four Symbols was a supreme cultivator named the Supreme of the Four Symbols. Master Blue Dragon, Master White Tiger, Master Vermilion Bird, and Master Black Tortoise were the four disciples of the Supreme of the Four Symbols.
Jun Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows at the king's explanation.
He never thought that the four ancient kingdoms would have such a profound history.
"If that's the case, then the purpose of the king of the Kingdom of Dragon should be to unite the four ancient kingdoms and make them the Four Elephants Ancient Kingdoms once again before he takes over the throne," Jun Xiaoyao guessed.
'Then again, what is the purpose of the young master behind him? Is it just to take control of the Ancient Kingdom of Four Symbols?' Jun Xiaoyao was confused.
Bai Yu'er bit her lip and said, "Sir Divine Child, I have a speculation."
"Alright, let's hear it," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Bai Yu'er said, "I think the young master behind them probably wants to collect all the parts of the compass from the four ancient kingdoms."
"A part of the bronze compass?" Jun Xiaoyao was baffled.
Meanwhile, the king explained the situation to him.
It turned out that the Supreme of the Four Symbols, who founded the Ancient Kingdom of the Four Symbols, had once obtained a bronze compass by chance.
The bronze compass involved a huge secret.
Later on, the news somehow leaked out. Many powerful figures wanted to fight over the compass in the hands of the four supreme beings.
The Four Symbols Supreme were surrounded and heavily injured.
He secretly divided the compass into four pieces and handed it to his four disciples, Master Blue Dragon and the others.
Subsequently, the four disciples each established their own kingdoms, which were the current four ancient kingdoms.
That one-quarter of the Bronze Compass was passed down from generation to generation in the four ancient kingdoms.
"Show me that part," Jun Xiaoyao said faintly.
The king nodded respectfully.
Anyone else who dared to set their eyes on the parts of the compass would have been slapped by the king a long time ago.
However, as soon as Jun Xiaoyao spoke, he took it out without hesitation.
As soon as Jun Xiaoyao saw the piece, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
That was because he discovered that the part of the bronze compass was made of the same material as the one in the wooden box..
That piece of bronze was related to the Bronze Immortal Palace, one of the Seven Great Unbelievable Ones.
"I see. I get it now. No wonder the Four Symbols Supreme were attacked. This bronze compass does involve a huge secret. It is the Bronze Immortal Palace!"
Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
This was definitely a huge secret.
He now knew what that young master's goal was.
He must have learned that the bronze compass was related to the Bronze Immortal Palace.
"This compass is interesting," Jun Xiaoyao said as he played with it.
The king immediately said, "Since the divine child likes it, I shall give it to him."
Jun Xiaoyao nodded in satisfaction. The king of the Kingdom of Phoenix was wise indeed.
"The other three parts are probably already in the hands of that young master. Now, even if he doesn't come looking for trouble, I will still come looking for trouble with him…"
Jun Xiaoyao wore his usual smile.
However, Jun Zhangjian and the others who were familiar with that smile knew what was going on.
That smile meant that Jun Xiaoyao was about to start harvesting leeks again…
