This vast continent deep within the Realm Heart Land was filled with ancient trees and dense forests.
Moreover, primordial Qi flowed through it, carrying a wild aura, as if one had returned to ancient times.
And at this moment, within this continent,
two figures were traveling.
One male and one female.
The female was dressed in a light-colored gauze dress, her long black hair cascading down like ink.
Her delicate face was fair and crystalline, her eyes sparkled like stars, and her skin was fairer than snow, so delicate it seemed it could break at a touch.
A faint body fragrance and medicinal scent wafted from her, refreshing and pleasant.
She was graceful, charming, and possessed peerless beauty.
It was none other than Song Miaoyu, the Saintess of the Human Emperor Palace.
However, the other male was not Chu Xiao.
He was a top general of the Human Emperor Palace and also a Disciple of Three Hall Master Ming Hong.
His name was Qin Hong.
"Saintess, do we not need to rendezvous with His Highness Chu Xiao?" Qin Hong asked.
Song Miaoyu said indifferently, "His Highness Chu Xiao possesses extraordinary strength, and with the Auspicious Golden Dragon, he will naturally not face any danger."
Hearing Song Miaoyu's words, Qin Hong also nodded slightly.
Indeed.
Chu Xiao's current strength was even greater than that of generals at the Chaos Dao Venerable level like them, so he truly didn't need their protection.
"Next, we need to find the Spirit Descent Platform and enter the Spirit Realm," Song Miaoyu said.
Following that, the two began to continue their search.
Not long after,
they arrived at a misty mountain range.
At the summit of the mountain range, there was indeed a square stone seat resembling an altar.
It was entirely carved from white jade.
Its surface was covered with the dust of ages, and it no longer possessed its original jade-like luster.
"It's the Spirit Descent Platform."
Qin Hong's eyes flashed.
There were not many such Spirit Descent Platforms.
Only by relying on this object could one enter the Spirit Realm and obtain the Realm Within a Realm Origin.
Qin Hong's eyes showed excitement.
The Spirit Realm, that was truly a place full of Opportunity.
Just as Qin Hong and Song Miaoyu were about to step onto the Spirit Descent Platform,
a calm voice rang out.
"Finally found it."
"Who!"
Qin Hong turned his head, a vigilant cold light shooting from his eyes.
Song Miaoyu's eyes flickered when she heard the voice.
A White-robed Young Master figure, white as snow, leisurely appeared.
Naturally, it was Jun Xiaoyao.
"Yun Clan Young Master..."
Qin Hong's pupils slightly contracted.
The relationship between their Human Emperor Palace and this Yun Clan Young Master was definitely not good.
As for the grievances between Chu Xiao and him, they were naturally even more inextricable.
Jun Xiaoyao, however, paid no attention to Qin Hong, his gaze calmly falling on the Spirit Descent Platform.
"Is this the thing that can teleport to the Spirit Realm?" Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself.
Hearing his words, Qin Hong's eyes darkened.
Did Jun Xiaoyao mean that this Spirit Descent Platform was already his?
But they had just managed to discover a Spirit Descent Platform, how could they willingly hand it over?
Finding another Spirit Descent Platform would take a lot more time.
One step slow, every step slow.
If they gave up this Spirit Descent Platform, it would also mean giving up the Opportunity in the Spirit Realm.
"Yun Clan Young Master, you should at least observe the principle of first come, first served. We discovered this Spirit Descent Platform first," Qin Hong said in a deep voice.
Jun Xiaoyao chuckled softly.
"As a general of the Human Emperor Palace, are you still so naive?"
First come, first served?
Did he think they were playing house?
Qin Hong took a deep breath.
It was a pity Chu Xiao wasn't here.
But then he thought, Song Miaoyu herself was a Forbidden-Breaking Paragon.
If he, a Chaos Dao Venerable-level general, were added to the mix,
the two of them, working together, might not be able to defeat Jun Xiaoyao, but they should at least be able to contend with him.
Then they could find an Opportunity to notify Chu Xiao to come.
That would completely settle the situation.
Thinking of this, Qin Hong secretly prepared to transmit a message to Song Miaoyu.
And at this moment...
A terrifying magical power directly poured towards him!
But the source of the magical power was not from Jun Xiaoyao!
It was from behind him!
Pfft!
Qin Hong was severely wounded from behind, spitting out a large mouthful of blood, falling forward and kneeling on one knee.
His head was buzzing, and for a moment he couldn't even understand what had happened.
A moment later, his pupils constricted, and he turned to look behind him.
Song Miaoyu slowly withdrew her hand, still standing gracefully, like a banished Fairy.
Jun Xiaoyao was also slightly surprised.
He hadn't expected Song Miaoyu to act so decisively.
Or perhaps, she was planning to reveal her true colors later anyway.
"Saintess, what are you doing!?" Qin Hong shouted.
Jun Xiaoyao, on the other hand, said indifferently, "Miaoyu, what is this..."
Song Miaoyu's eyes were calm as she opened her lips and said, "Isn't it the duty of a servant girl to clear away trouble and obstacles for her Master?"
Song Miaoyu was very smart.
It was precisely because of her intelligence that Jun Xiaoyao had a slight appreciation for her.
Now Song Miaoyu also knew that once an arrow was shot, there was no turning back.
Since she had chosen to betray the Human Emperor Palace, she had to curry favor with Jun Xiaoyao.
To make Jun Xiaoyao feel that cooperating with her was not a mistake.
Although Song Miaoyu's actions at the moment were small, they were enough to show her trust and loyalty to Jun Xiaoyao.
That was enough.
When Qin Hong heard Song Miaoyu's words, his mind almost exploded!
The dignified Saintess of the Human Emperor Palace was the Yun Clan Young Master's maid?
What on earth was going on?
Qin Hong felt his brain wasn't enough.
However, as a Disciple of Three Hall Master Ming Hong, he was naturally loyal to the Human Emperor Palace and Chu Xiao.
He couldn't help but roar, "Song Miaoyu, are you crazy?"
"You are the Saintess of the Human Emperor Palace, His Highness Chu Xiao's woman!"
"What you are doing is betraying the Human Emperor Palace, betraying His Highness Chu Xiao, an unforgivable sin!"
It would have been better if Qin Hong hadn't said that.
As soon as he did, Song Miaoyu's eyes became even colder.
Her red lips parted, and her tone was cold as she said, "I, Song Miaoyu, have never been anyone's possession."
"Even if I were, it should be my own decision, not the Human Emperor Palace, Chu Xiao, or anyone else who can make the decision for me!"
Song Miaoyu's voice was like a heavenly melody, yet it carried a chilling coldness.
As the Saintess of the Human Emperor Palace,
she had always been diligent and conscientious, performing her duties, working for the Human Emperor Palace, and dedicating herself.
However, Chu Xiao's arrival made her feel like a joke, a tool.
And now, she finally began to resist.
Even if she bore the name of a traitor, it didn't matter.
"You... His Highness Chu Xiao will not let you off!"
Qin Hong said coldly.
And at this moment.
Boom!
A foot directly stomped on Qin Hong's face.
Pressing his face deeply into the mud.
It was naturally Jun Xiaoyao.
He lowered his head slightly, looking down and saying, "Are my people something an ant like you can threaten?"
"Let Chu Xiao come, the result will be the same."
After speaking, Jun Xiaoyao applied a little force with his foot.
The sound of a watermelon exploding rang out.
Qin Hong's Primordial Spirit was destroyed, and he was directly stomped to death.
Seeing this, Song Miaoyu's star-like beautiful eyes flickered slightly, then she said, "Thank you, Master."
"Thank me for what?" Jun Xiaoyao turned his head and said.
"Thank Young Master for helping Miaoyu vent her anger," Song Miaoyu said.
"It's nothing, no one can touch my people, not even offend them," Jun Xiaoyao said casually.
Protecting his own was a habit ingrained in his Bloodline.
This slightly "overbearing CEO" statement, however, made a faint curve appear at the corner of Song Miaoyu's lips.
From the beginning, due to cooperation and circumstances, she had been marked by Jun Xiaoyao.
Now, standing beside Jun Xiaoyao, she could feel an inexplicable sense of security in her heart.
This shift in mentality was subtle and imperceptible.
Song Miaoyu had just said that she didn't want to be anyone's possession.
But she also said that even if she were willing to be someone's possession, it should be her own decision.
And now...
Looking at the tall and elegant White-robed Young Master in front of her...
"Why are you standing there foolishly? Come here."
Jun Xiaoyao stood on the Spirit Descent Platform, glanced at Song Miaoyu, and said.
Song Miaoyu smiled knowingly, speaking from the bottom of her heart.
"Yes, Master."
