Sensing the icy, resentful gaze cast by Emperor Qin Xiao, Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained calm.
He knew that Emperor Qin Xiao harbored hatred in his heart.
But thinking about it from the other side, if Jun Xiaoyao hadn't come to the Canghua Star Realm and hadn't met Xia Guihua, what would the consequences have been? It was simply unimaginable.
Xia Guihua was one of the four souls of Jiang Shengyi, and even more so, the reverse scale that Jun Xiaoyao could not tolerate being touched.
Therefore, there was not a shred of pity or sympathy in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
Whoever touched Jun Xiaoyao's reverse scale, it wouldn't be as simple as just dying.
It would mean the entire nation would be buried along with them!
"Two Ancient Ancestors, please make your move; there is no need to drag this out for too long," Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.
"Very well."
The figures of the two old men suddenly appeared in the Void Realm.
They looked unremarkable, with hair as white as snow, and their hands tucked into their sleeves.
They even looked somewhat kind.
But if one looked into their eyes, one would discover the terrifying spectacle of the evolution of the heavens and the destruction of suns and stars.
They were none other than The Two Elders of Mountain and Sea.
Facing Emperor Qin Xiao, they did not need to attack together.
Ancient Ancestor Yun Guanshan made his move, striking directly down at Emperor Qin Xiao.
Their figures soared into the air instantly, their Imperial might vast, like a Divine Beast overturning the heavens and covering the seas; the entire expanse of heaven and earth and the star universe was permeated with a terrifying Qi.
Jun Xiaoyao simply watched with his hands behind his back.
In this battle, there was no need for him to intervene.
However, the battle ended exceptionally quickly.
Not long after, a roar echoed from the depths of the starry sky.
Drops of bright, vivid Imperial blood fell like meteors, piercing through the Void Realm.
"Cough..."
A sound of injury echoed through the Void Realm.
Emperor Qin Xiao fell from the blue sky, his battle armor shattered and stained with blood.
Meanwhile, Ancient Ancestor Yun Guanshan still had his hands tucked in his sleeves, his eyes narrowed.
"This Ancestor feels that it is a bit bullying. Qin Xiao, end your own life," Ancient Ancestor Yun Guanshan said.
Only such a figure was qualified to say something like telling Emperor Qin Xiao to commit suicide.
"Hehe, I never thought that one day, I would end up in such a state."
"And all because of a junior, my nation is destroyed."
"I cannot even avenge the death of my own son."
Emperor Qin Xiao's pupils shot out cold arrows as he stared directly at Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao did not avert his gaze, but said calmly, "When heaven creates calamity, it may be avoided; when one creates their own calamity, one cannot live."
"Ask yourself what you have done before pitying yourself."
If, from the beginning, Emperor Qin Xiao hadn't plotted against the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty.
If Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan hadn't forced a marriage with Xia Guihua, and hadn't colluded with the Blood Race to frame him.
The Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty wouldn't have ended up in this state.
At most, they would have had the same outcome as the Tianling Holy Dynasty.
But alas, the father and son insisted on courting death.
If not for Jun Xiaoyao, what would the consequences have been for the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty, including Xia Zhaoxue and Xia Guihua?
Wouldn't they have become caged birds?
Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao felt not a shred of sympathy for Emperor Qin Xiao at this moment.
"End it."
Jun Xiaoyao turned around, not bothering to look again.
Behind him came the desperate roar of Emperor Qin Xiao; the Imperial Dao rules shattered, and blood rain fell from the sky—it was the sign of an Emperor's fall.
It was over.
No one had expected that this battle would end so quickly.
It could only be said that the strength of the two sides was simply not on the same Rank.
If not for the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace, even if the other two Sacred Dynasties had joined forces to deal with the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty, it would have been a struggle, and it would have been impossible to end the battle so quickly.
Apart from Emperor Qin Xiao, the other powerful figures of the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty were also all annihilated.
As for the remaining small fry, there was no need to worry about them.
Anyway, after the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty took over, they would absorb the remaining resources and personnel of the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty.
That was not a big problem.
A war had just come to an end like this.
At the same time, it allowed everyone to see how terrifying it was when an ultimate force truly made a move.
An immortal Sacred Dynasty was destroyed just like that.
The Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty was definitely not weak.
But in front of the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace, it was still like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, without the slightest power to resist.
And there was a reason for the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace's intervention this time.
It was because the Crown Prince of the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty, Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan, had secretly colluded with the Blood Race to frame Jun Xiaoyao.
This reason was legitimate and justifiable.
After the news spread, some forces also felt that the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty deserved it, as they had brought it upon themselves.
Colluding with the Blood Race was truly defying the will of the world.
After the battle ended, Jun Xiaoyao and the others returned to the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty.
The Great Xia Sacred Dynasty also sent people to take over the remaining personnel and resources of the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty.
In addition, the ruler of the Tianling Holy Dynasty also agreed to submit.
The three great Sacred Dynasties were about to merge.
At the same time, news that the immortal cauldron had been found also spread.
At this point, everyone knew that the unification of the Sacred Dynasties was an inevitable trend.
And the unified Great Xia Sacred Dynasty would obviously be even more prosperous.
Not to mention, it had the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace as a backer.
In the Canghua Star Realm, basically no other force dared to provoke them.
Inside the palace of the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty's imperial city.
"Now that the war has ended, the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty should have no problem with the remaining cleanup work, right?" Jun Xiaoyao looked at Xia Zhaoxue and asked.
"Naturally, there is no problem. With the upcoming unification of the Sacred Dynasties, will Young Master Yun Xiao not stay here?" Xia Zhaoxue said.
"I won't. I have other matters to attend to back at the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace. What about you, Guihua?" Jun Xiaoyao looked again at Xia Guihua, who was standing beside Xia Zhaoxue.
"Now that the war has just ended, I still need to assist Mother in handling the affairs after the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty's unification. I cannot go back with you for the time being."
Although Xia Guihua also really wanted to stay with Jun Xiaoyao, she still had to handle matters here.
"Indeed, Guihua, as the Crown Empress of Great Xia, you should stay behind to stabilize the hearts of the people," Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
"Since that is the case, I will head back first."
Just as Jun Xiaoyao was preparing to leave, Xia Zhaoxue suddenly bit her red lips slightly and said, "Young Master Yun Xiao, why are you helping our Great Xia Sacred Dynasty like this? Is it just because of Guihua?"
Xia Zhaoxue had been suspicious from the beginning; Jun Xiaoyao was treating them a bit too well.
"Otherwise?" Jun Xiaoyao asked in return.
"Do you not have any other thoughts?"
Xia Zhaoxue's phoenix eyes stared at Jun Xiaoyao.
From the very beginning, she had always felt that Jun Xiaoyao's intentions were not that simple.
Upon hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow.
Could it be that Xia Zhaoxue had realized that Xia Guihua and he shared a special Karma?
After thinking for a moment, Jun Xiaoyao sighed slightly and said, "It seems Your Majesty has sensed something. I do indeed have a special reason, but I just feel that..."
However, before Jun Xiaoyao could finish speaking, Xia Zhaoxue's beautiful and noble face immediately flushed with a crimson hue, and she interrupted him directly, "Don't say any more, Guihua is still here!"
"Hmm?"
A question mark appeared in Jun Xiaoyao's mind.
Was she telling him to speak or not to speak?
Although he also felt that now was not the time to tell Xia Guihua about the matter regarding Jiang Shengyi.
"If you have time in the future, you can tell me privately; don't say it in front of Guihua."
Xia Zhaoxue bit her red lips slightly, fearing that Jun Xiaoyao would say something inappropriate.
Jun Xiaoyao: "???"
He suddenly felt that what he was thinking and what Xia Zhaoxue was thinking did not seem to be the same thing.
What kind of messy things were in this Empress's head?
"Then I shall take my leave first."
Jun Xiaoyao did not dwell on it.
Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best.
He turned and left.
Watching Jun Xiaoyao's back, Xia Guihua looked at Xia Zhaoxue and asked, "Mother, what were you two talking about? Are you hiding something from your daughter?"
"No, nothing."
Xia Zhaoxue brushed it off with a slightly reddened face.
In her heart, she was secretly annoyed.
She was no longer a young girl, yet she had been thrown off balance by such a young junior.
