Hearing this voice, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes showed a hint of coldness as he turned to look at Feng Qingling.
Feng Qingling's gaze was filled with burning desire as she looked at the Phoenix Song Qishan Zither.
This zither's attributes matched perfectly with hers, as if it had been specially crafted for her.
Moreover, it was a rare Ancient Saint Weapon.
Zither-type Ancient Saint Weapons were extremely rare, and they weren't just for cultivating temperament.
As combat weapons, their power was formidable.
So Feng Qingling was moved and couldn't help but speak up.
"Oh, so?" Jun Xiaoyao's tone carried a hint of playfulness.
"One thousand supreme-grade divine crystals for your ancient zither," Feng Qingling said casually.
The young geniuses around them drew in sharp breaths.
As expected of an Ancient Imperial Clan descendant, casually offering a thousand supreme-grade divine crystals.
But many people looked at the Phoenix Song Qishan in Jun Xiaoyao's hands.
Compared to an Ancient Saint Weapon zither, a thousand supreme-grade divine crystals wasn't much at all.
In fact, it was rather shabby.
After all, the value of an Ancient Saint Weapon couldn't be measured in divine crystals.
At minimum, it would need to be measured in celestial crystals.
However, even though Feng Qingling was a noble lady of the Ten Thousand Phoenix Spirit Mountain, she couldn't produce many celestial crystals.
Celestial crystals were extremely rare and scarce even in the Jun family.
"One thousand supreme-grade divine crystals for my ancient zither? If your brain isn't working well, you should get it treated," Jun Xiaoyao said coldly.
He hadn't even actively sought trouble with the Ten Thousand Phoenix Spirit Mountain, yet their people dared to set their sights on his zither.
"Hmm? Do you know who I am?" Feng Qingling's delicate brows rose.
"I don't care who you are, nor am I interested. If you want to die, you can continue dancing before me," Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.
Hearing these words, many young talents widened their eyes in shock.
Feng Qingling was a noble lady of the Ten Thousand Phoenix Spirit Mountain, her status and strength weren't something ordinary people could provoke.
Even descendants of Immortal forces wouldn't dare to take such an attitude towards Feng Qingling.
"Seeking death! You refuse the easy way and choose the hard way!" Feng Qingling's beautiful eyes blazed with crimson flames - she was truly angry.
As a noble lady of the Ten Thousand Phoenix Spirit Mountain, wherever she went, she received universal admiration, and no one dared to offend her.
In her view, since she had taken an interest in this ancient zither, Jun Xiaoyao should have been delighted to give it to her.
Feng Qingling attacked immediately, her jade hand sweeping out a series of crimson runes that rose into the air, seemingly condensing into a phoenix wing.
"Could that be... the True Phoenix Grand Divine Art?!"
Many talented youths around stood up, their eyes showing shock.
The True Phoenix Grand Divine Art of the Ten Thousand Phoenix Spirit Mountain was ranked alongside the True Dragon Grand Divine Art of the Ancestral Dragon's Nest - both were top-tier martial arts in the immortal realm.
"No, it has the essence of the True Phoenix Grand Divine Art, but it's not the real thing. It should just be a derived technique," some more knowledgeable geniuses observed.
However, even as just a derived technique, when executed by Feng Qingling, its power was still extraordinarily formidable.
Moreover, her cultivation had reached the peak of the Unity Realm.
To achieve such cultivation at her age, Feng Qingling truly lived up to her status as a noble lady of the Ten Thousand Phoenix Spirit Mountain.
"Young Master, be careful..." both Qin Xuan and the Zither Lady cried out.
Seeing the Zither Lady's concern for Jun Xiaoyao, the Third Prince's face grew increasingly dark.
"Provoking a noble lady of the Ten Thousand Phoenix Spirit Mountain - he won't even know how he died..." the Third Prince coldly thought to himself.
But just as this thought arose in his mind.
The next moment, Jun Xiaoyao made his move.
Without using any special technique, he simply struck out with a palm.
Puff!
Jun Xiaoyao's palm collided with Feng Qingling's technique.
Accompanied by a spine-chilling crack.
Feng Qingling's face suddenly turned deathly pale.
Crack!
Her extended jade arm was directly broken by a terrifying force, its bones shattered.
She was knocked backward, finally crashing into a stone pillar.
Fortunately, the entire Immortal Jade Tower was inscribed with defensive formations, otherwise this single clash would have been enough to collapse half the tower.
"How is this possible?" Feng Qingling's red lips were as white as paper.
The divine flames and rosy light around her body were all dispersed, revealing her true appearance.
Her snow-white, beautiful face showed an expression of fear.
Though she was female with a delicate figure and slender bones,
possessing a trace of phoenix bloodline meant her physical strength far exceeded that of human cultivators who specialized in body tempering.
This was precisely why she was shocked - how could this human's physical body be so terrifyingly powerful?
Could he also be from an Ancient Imperial Clan like her?
Seeing this, Jun Xiaoyao once again simply struck out with his palm.
Against this Feng Qingling, he didn't even need to use any special techniques - he could subdue her with one hand.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao raising his palm to strike again, Feng Qingling gritted her teeth.
The pride of being from an Ancient Imperial Clan made it impossible for her to accept such humiliation.
Crimson light burst from Feng Qingling's arm as her vital energy swirled, and her arm bones began to heal rapidly.
"Such powerful physical constitution!"
"It's said that Feng Qingling received the Phoenix Blood Pool's baptism within the Ten Thousand Phoenix Spirit Mountain, giving her an incredible physical body. Looking at this, it seems the rumors were true."
Feng Qingling's condition once again amazed the crowd.
As expected of an Immortal Dao Lineage's successor - her various abilities and trump cards were far beyond what ordinary geniuses could compare to.
"What use is it?" Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained cold and emotionless.
"Flying Phoenix Claw!"
Feng Qingling transformed her palm into a claw, and a phoenix claw wrapped in crimson light appeared, tearing through the air with a hissing sound.
This single claw strike would instantly tear apart an ordinary Unity Realm genius.
Jun Xiaoyao formed a fist seal, directly shattering the Flying Phoenix Claw. Feng Qingling was blown back again, coughing up blood.
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flashed cold light, his right arm faintly glowing with divine light and immortal radiance.
He had activated the power of a Great Luo Immortal Bone.
In an instant, Feng Qingling's body broke out in goosebumps as an extreme sense of danger arose in her heart.
Jun Xiaoyao showed no mercy, his fist carrying world-shocking power.
Feng Qingling hastily summoned a defensive treasure with one hand - a crimson-gold shield shaped like folded phoenix wings.
Boom!
With a thunderous crash like divine iron colliding,
That shield of no low grade was directly shattered into pieces.
Feng Qingling was scared out of her wits. Her phoenix wings fluttered behind her as she took to the air, darting into her carriage and fleeing like the wind.
She didn't even have time to leave behind any threatening words.
...
Dead silence.
On the top floor of the Immortal Jade Tower, all the young talents stood frozen like stone, their bodies rigid.
The renowned noble lady Feng Qingling of the Ten Thousand Phoenix Spirit Mountain had been driven away in just three moves.
This news would cause quite a stir if it spread.
The Zither Lady's gaze toward Jun Xiaoyao was filled with even more admiration.
Qin Xuan's small mouth was round with surprise, clearly not expecting Jun Xiaoyao to be this powerful.
The young master of the Thousand Treasures Trading Association's expression changed from initial suspicion and wariness to now grave seriousness.
As a trading association's young master, he was sophisticated and shrewd, knowing that such a figure was absolutely not someone to provoke in the slightest.
The Third Prince was different.
Born high above others, he was used to having his way in the Panwu Divine Dynasty.
Now, Jun Xiaoyao's appearance undoubtedly caused his sense of crisis to surge.
Seeing the Zither Lady's attitude toward Jun Xiaoyao, the Third Prince became even more displeased to his core.
"Young Master, you haven't responded to the Zither Lady's small request from earlier," the Zither Lady said softly.
She was referring, of course, to spending the night talking about love- no, playing the zither with Jun Xiaoyao.
Her tone even carried a hint of coquettishness.
