The great battle to pursue the Ba Clan continued for some time.
However, this no longer concerned Jun Xiaoyao.
Because his goal had already been achieved.
Since Xuanyuan Qingxiao had returned, he no longer needed to worry about Yiyi's condition.
Yiyi would be very safe.
After this, the details of Jun Xiaoyao's plan to venture deep into the world-destroying millstone and awaken Empress Ba were finally revealed to the world.
Upon learning of this,
The entire Sea of Realms was shocked!
This time, Jun Xiaoyao's actions could be called a massive gamble, betting his own life.
After all, that was Empress Ba; any supreme expert would feel palpitations and fear at the mere thought of her.
Not to mention the younger generation; they wouldn't even know how they died.
But Jun Xiaoyao not only had the courage to act, he ultimately succeeded.
"Yun Xiao has laid the foundation for victory in this great battle; his contribution is undoubtedly number one!"
"This is a heaven-defying merit; the meritorious service of the Three Emperors Barrier will likely be refreshed once again."
"Sigh, it is truly shameful. Back when Yun Xiao protected the Reincarnation of Empress Ba, various forces in the Sea of Realms went to force her death."
"Looking at it now, Yun Xiao's actions back then were correct."
"Right now, this has added a top-tier combat force to our Sea of Realms!"
Hearing this news, some forces in the Sea of Realms fell silent.
Especially those forces who had tried to force Yiyi to her death in the Xuanhuang Multiverse; they were now incredibly embarrassed and ashamed.
They all believed that Jun Xiaoyao was playing a massive game of chess.
They figured he had been thinking about how to awaken Empress Ba from that moment on.
But little did they know.
This was indeed just them overthinking it.
Jun Xiaoyao had not anticipated at the beginning that Yiyi would merge with Empress Ba to avenge him.
But clearly, in the eyes of the masses now, Jun Xiaoyao was the type of person who possessed foresight and deep deliberation.
This caused Jun Xiaoyao's reputation to climb once again.
What made Jun Xiaoyao's fame even more prominent was this.
The Three Emperors Barrier had also evaluated Jun Xiaoyao's merit.
It was an extremely rare special-grade meritorious service!
It could be said that this was a level of merit that even ordinary Great Emperors could never achieve.
Only those who had made heaven-defying contributions to the Three Emperors Barrier and the Sea of Realms could obtain it.
It was far beyond even first-grade meritorious service.
Yet, regarding the evaluation of special-grade meritorious service, neither the Three Emperors Barrier nor the entire Sea of Realms raised any objections.
Some even felt that special-grade meritorious service was not enough to describe Jun Xiaoyao's achievement this time.
After all, Jun Xiaoyao had indirectly resolved the ancestor of the Ba Clan; this merit was greater than the heavens!
With the Ba Clan missing Empress Ba, they had lost their most core figure and were left leaderless.
Even though the Three Kings of the Ba Clan were troublesome, compared to Empress Ba, they were still a tier lower.
As for the assessment of special-grade meritorious service, Jun Xiaoyao was noncommittal.
For any other member of the younger generation, this merit would basically be the pinnacle.
With this merit, one could walk sideways in the Three Emperors Barrier, and even commander-level figures would have to be respectful.
But for Jun Xiaoyao, he had already transcended this narrow scope.
His reputation did not rely on this insignificant addition.
Compared to wallowing in honor, Jun Xiaoyao had more important things to do.
That was to resolve the matter of the Huangfu Imperial Clan.
After the Ba Clan battle.
The entire Three Emperors Barrier fell into a period of recuperation.
Although they had repelled the Ba Clan and won a beautiful opening battle.
Everyone knew that the Ba Clan was only one branch of the Black Calamity Tribes.
The entire Black Calamity Tribes were far from unleashing their full force.
In fact, the ultimate source of the black calamity, that unimaginable existence, had not yet shown any trace.
Therefore, this World-Annihilating Black Calamity of this generation had only just revealed a corner.
The war with the Ba Clan had only slightly boosted the morale of the Sea of Realms.
After the battle concluded, the return of Xuanyuan Qingxiao also drew the attention of all parties.
From the Origin Universe, the Xuanyuan Clan sent people directly, and upon seeing Xuanyuan Qingxiao, they were filled with mixed emotions.
Of course, because Xuanyuan Qingxiao, as Empress Ba, had a certain past.
It led to many forces in the Sea of Realms having difficulty feeling goodwill toward her.
Some even harbored hostility.
Even though Xuanyuan Qingxiao had already shed the personality of Empress Ba.
Despite this, those forces dared not say anything.
After all, Xuanyuan Qingxiao felt guilty toward them, but the Xuanyuan Clan would not allow other forces to do anything to the daughter of the Xuanyuan Great Emperor.
After some exchange.
Xuanyuan Qingxiao did not choose to return to the Xuanyuan Clan.
The only thing she wanted to do now was to make amends as much as possible and atone for the mistakes she had committed when she was Empress Ba.
Upon learning of Xuanyuan Qingxiao's attitude.
Even those forces in the Sea of Realms that were hostile toward her could not say anything more.
After this, among the Five Tiger Divine Generals, General Zhuge Qian, General Mu Linge, Sima Yan, and Great Emperor Zhenyue came to visit Xuanyuan Qingxiao.
After all, Xuanyuan Qingxiao was the daughter of their superior, so there was some connection.
Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao came to find Xuanyuan Qingxiao again.
Although Xuanyuan Qingxiao had a lofty status and strength.
But Jun Xiaoyao was the one who had awakened her from the darkness.
Coupled with the influence of the personalities of Yiyi and Luoluo.
Jun Xiaoyao naturally held a special status and position in Xuanyuan Qingxiao's heart.
"Actually, Empress..."
Jun Xiaoyao was just about to say something.
Xuanyuan Qingxiao said, "Call me by my name."
"Alright, Senior Qingxiao, regarding the matter of the traitor within the Imperial Clan this time..."
Jun Xiaoyao told Xuanyuan Qingxiao about some of the situation.
The Huangfu Imperial Clan was a malignant tumor hidden in the Sea of Realms.
And that Huangfu Xuanyang, as a Pass Guardian, was not easy to deal with either.
Although it would not be a problem for other Imperial Clans to take action against the Huangfu Imperial Clan.
But if Xuanyuan Qingxiao could take action, it would naturally be for the best, as it could minimize the chaos.
"Furthermore, if Senior Qingxiao takes action to eradicate the traitor of the Sea of Realms."
"To a certain extent, it can also improve the perception of those forces that have biases against you."
"Although Senior might not care too much about that," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Xuanyuan Qingxiao's golden eyes looked at Jun Xiaoyao.
At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao was still considering her reputation.
"I finally understand why my souls all have such unforgettable feelings for you."
Xuanyuan Qingxiao's lips curved into a faint smile.
"Ahem... this... Junior has no other intentions."
Jun Xiaoyao gave a dry cough and said.
Although Xuanyuan Qingxiao looked flawless and beautiful, and time could not leave a single trace on her exquisite face.
But Xuanyuan Qingxiao's seniority was definitely not low; she was a figure from the era of the Xuanyuan Great Emperor, an existence who had achieved sainthood and become an ancestor.
To Jun Xiaoyao, she was definitely an old, old, old aunt level figure.
He had no special fetish for old aunts, erm, absolutely none.
"I understand. As long as it is something beneficial to the Sea of Realms, I will naturally do it."
Xuanyuan Qingxiao did not refuse.
She would not refuse Jun Xiaoyao either.
"Thank you."
Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
With Xuanyuan Qingxiao taking action, it would be completely settled; the Huangfu Imperial Clan would be unable to stir up even a ripple.
