However, that was indeed the case. Jun Xiaoyao never took the Shengling Academy seriously.
Not to mention the common disciples, even those who were on the same level as Ji Xuan would dare to provoke Jun Xiaoyao.
He would also let them experience the same pain as Ji Xuan.
The cultivators from all over the city gulped as they watched Jun Xiaoyao and the others leave.
"As expected of the divine child of the Jun family. He's so domineering that he doesn't care about the Shengling Academy at all."
"That's right. Even if the saint children and saintesses of the academy came, they probably wouldn't be able to get away with it."
Some people shook their heads as they looked at the disciples who were lying on the ground, bleeding from their eyes, ears, noses, and mouths.
The disciples of the Academy were simply too weak. They couldn't even withstand a single roar from their mounts.
Even though that mount was the Nine-headed Lion of the Far ancient imperial family.
As for the female disciples of the Academy, they completely ignored the bedraggled men and watched Jun Xiaoyao leave with starry eyes.
Jun Xiaoyao and the others arrived at a splendid inn to rest.
However, Jun Linglong came up to him shortly afterward and reported, "Sir, the young master of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce wishes to see you."
"The young master of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce?" Jun Xiaoyao thought for a moment.
Previously, he seemed to have seen this person at the Zither Contest of the Panwu Celestial Dynasty. Like the Third Prince, they were both admirers of the Heavenly Zither Maiden.
However, Jun Xiaoyao didn't remember much about such a nobody.
"Let him in," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Jun Linglong nodded.
A handsome young master stepped forward and respectfully cupped his hands at Jun Xiaoyao.
"Greetings, Divine Child. I am Gondo of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce."
Jun Xiaoyao said, "I remember you. I think I saw you at the Zither Fight. You're the one who's courting the Heavenly Zither Lady."
"I didn't expect the divine child to still remember me. What an honor. It's just that I'm no longer a suitor of the Heavenly Zither Maiden." Gondo smiled bitterly.
After witnessing Jun Xiaoyao's brilliance, how could Tianqin possibly fall for him?
"What brings you here?" Jun Xiaoyao sipped his tea and asked.
"I heard from the manager that the divine child came to the inn under the command of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce to rest, so I came here right away," said Gando.
Jun Xiaoyao was enlightened. "So, this inn is the property of your Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce."
"Divine Child, it's like this. The Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce will hold a martial arts tournament before the opening of the Heavenly Law Tower. We will have some excellent slaves fight to the death and bet on them."
"I think the divine child needs immortal sources. This is a good opportunity to earn immortal sources," said Gando.
"I see." Jun Xiaoyao nodded.
He also understood that the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce wanted to take advantage of the popularity of the opening of the Heavenly Law Tower to earn some money.
However, Gando was right. He did need immortal sources.
Now, Jun Xiaoyao only had fifty pieces of Immortal Essence left in case of emergencies.
"Besides, I heard that the divine child has a hobby of taking in slaves. Maybe the divine child will take a liking to some of them," Gan Duo said with a flattering smile.
"Huh? Do I have such a hobby?" Jun Xiaoyao tilted his head and looked at Jun Linglong.
Jun Linglong rolled her eyes at Jun Xiaoyao.
'Don't you have any idea what kind of hobby this is?'
"Ahem… when will that be?" Jun Xiaoyao cleared his throat and asked with a straight face.
"Tomorrow night. By then, slaves from other mystic realms will show up," Gando said.
"Other mystic realms." Jun Xiaoyao's eyes brightened.
The Nine Heavens Mystical Realm was divided into nine heavens. The Huangtian Mystical Realm was only one of the nine.
Jun Xiaoyao was rather interested in the slaves from other mystic realms.
"I will," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"We shall await your arrival then, Divine Child," said Gondor with a smile.
His father, the president of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce, warned him to try his best to establish a relationship with the divine child of the Jun family.
Even if it was just to get to know him better, he would benefit greatly in the future.
Gan Duo left in satisfaction.
After he left, Jun Linglong wore a faint smile and said, "The young master of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce wants to establish a relationship with you, young master."
"It doesn't matter. As long as it benefits me." Jun Xiaoyao didn't care.
Meanwhile…
A group of disciples from the Academy whose faces were covered in blood and looked very haggard knelt before the three of them and cried.
They were the two saint children and one saintess of the academy.
"Sir Shengzi, you have to avenge us. The divine child of the Jun family is way too arrogant. He doesn't care about the Shengling Academy at all," one of the disciples said with tears streaming down his face.
The disciples of the Academy were utterly humiliated this time.
The young man in a black and white robe said coldly, "Idiots. You can't afford to offend Jun Xiaoyao no matter what he does."
"I thought the divine child of the Jun family would be wary of the Shengling Academy, so…" the disciple mumbled, his voice becoming softer.
The young man shook his head and said, "Alright, you're just asking for it. Even we have to be very careful when dealing with Jun Xiaoyao."
As for the Holy Maiden, Hua Xiqing blinked her beautiful eyes and grew increasingly curious about Jun Xiaoyao.
The young man in a black and white robe said, "Let's talk about this later. We're going to attend the Martial Arts Conference of the Myriad Treasures Chamber tomorrow night. As for Jun Xiaoyao, we'll meet him again when the Heavenly Law Tower opens."
Previously, the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce also sent a deacon to invite them to the martial arts tournament.
…
Soon, a day passed.
In the eastern region of the Holy Spirit City, there was a gorgeous palace.
Under the lead of Gan Duo, Jun Xiaoyao arrived at the place.
Jun Linglong was the only one by his side.
"Divine Child, please head to the VIP room." Gan Duo personally led Jun Xiaoyao into the VIP room.
From here, one could see the entire stage of the Martial Arts Conference.
"I wonder if there are any slaves that would catch my eye tonight," Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself.
He thought about it for a bit. Until now, he didn't seem to have a true follower.
Strictly speaking, Jun Linglong was his maid.
Jun Zhangjian, Jun Xuehuang, and Jun Wanjie were all Sequences of the Jun family. Strictly speaking, they weren't exactly his followers.
Wu Mingyue was more like a pawn.
As for Bai Yu'er, she was nothing more than a maid.
Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself, 'My father has all the members of the Eight God Tribes, including someone as exceptional as Ah-Jiu. It's time for me to consider recruiting a group of loyal followers.'
At that moment, a commotion broke out in the venue.
"The princess of the Panwu Celestial Dynasty is here!"
"The two Holy Sons and one Holy Lady of the Shengling Academy are here as well."
"Holy f*ck! That's the Golden-Winged Little Peng King of the Sacred Mountain of Gallery!"
"Ye Xingyun from the Ye family also has the Kingly Body of Stars."
"My goodness, they're all big shots…"
Many cultivators in the venue were shocked.
These geniuses that were rarely seen on ordinary days were now appearing one after another.
The young man in a black and white robe said, "I am the Shengzi of the Yin Yang Sect. I am also the Shengzi of the Shengling Academy. I am very lucky to be able to meet the Eldest Princess today."
As the Holy Child who was revered by both forces, there was a hint of confidence in his tone.
However…
The beautiful woman standing before him was as beautiful as a piece of divine jade, yet she didn't even bother to look at him. Instead, she simply walked past him with a cold expression.
The Saint Child's expression stiffened as he felt rather awkward.
Hua Xiqing covered her mouth and chuckled. "She's the princess of the Panwu Celestial Dynasty, after all. It's only natural for her to ignore you."
"You have a point. I'm the one who's being reckless." The Saint Child smiled nonchalantly.
As a princess of an immortal force, it was normal for her to have a cold and arrogant personality.
On the other hand, Wu Mingyue walked straight into a VIP room after asking Duoduo.
She saw a handsome man in a white robe sitting on a chair.
Unable to bear it any longer, she crawled to Jun Xiaoyao's legs.
Like a cat that had been abandoned for a long time, she raised her alluring face and said, "Master, Mingyue is here to see you…"
