"Luo Xiangling?" Jun Xiaoyao's aura remained calm; he did not reveal the slightest anomaly.
He merely said indifferently, "Since she is a Quasi-King, her strength should not be weak. Was she suppressed so easily?"
Seeing that Jun Xiaoyao had finally taken the initiative to ask, a flash of a smile crossed Emperor Son An Lan's eyes.
Befriending such a figure was of infinite value. Even if it was just to strike up a conversation, it would definitely be beneficial in the future.
He also said, "That King Luo only chose to fight alone to cover the retreat for the Jun Imperial Court's forces."
"Afterward, it drew out an Immortal King of our realm, the King of the Hell Bird Clan, who took action and suppressed her."
"In the end, she was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison."
The Hell Bird Clan was a top-tier Imperial Clan in the Exotic Realm, and their strength was not weak at all. They held high prestige in the Exotic Realm and were worshipped by all sides.
Although not as powerful as an Ultimate Imperial Clan, their prestige was greater than that of an ordinary Imperial Clan.
In his heart, Jun Xiaoyao noted the name of this clan. This clan would be wiped out in the future and would cease to exist in this world.
With a single thought, Jun Xiaoyao had sealed the fate of this top-tier Imperial Clan.
"In that case, I have become interested in this Heavenly Prison." Jun Xiaoyao smiled.
However, the coldness of that smile was hidden by the bone mask, and Emperor Son An Lan did not see it.
He also smiled and said, "Very well, half a month from now, it will be the day the Heavenly Prison reopens."
"At that time, I will look forward to Brother Dao breaking the record."
After Emperor Son An Lan finished speaking, he did not continue to pester Jun Xiaoyao. Knowing when to stop was the way to avoid being annoying.
Jun Xiaoyao took Princess Yu Yunshang and left Guyi Mountain. After he left, the gathered heroes were still discussing him, clicking their tongues in wonder.
Everyone was speculating about which Ultimate Imperial Clan this King had come from.
"If this person can attain the Dao, I wonder if he can compare to that mysterious Great Emperor from the Immortal Domain who broke the eternal emperor ranking?"
"It is unclear; we have to see his future performance, but I think this person is already an absolute Prodigy in our realm."
"Next, there should be other Quasi-Kings from the Ultimate Imperial Clans emerging to walk the world. I really look forward to that day."
"Indeed, by then, it will definitely bring surprises to the elites of the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain."
"Perhaps by then, one young Quasi-King from our realm will be able to sweep through a group of Prodigies from the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain."
Some people were still discussing. On the other side, Jun Xiaoyao and Princess Yu Yunshang traveled through the air. Afterward, they landed on a mountain peak.
Princess Yu Yunshang looked at the figure in white clothes and white hair, her heart filled with trepidation. She understood that in front of such a figure, she truly did not even have the ability to commit suicide.
Jun Xiaoyao turned around, raised his hand to take off the bone mask on his face, and said indifferently, "Miss Yu, it has been a long time."
Looking at the handsome and peerless face beneath the mask, Princess Yu Yunshang was stunned. Her eyes fixed, and then her eyes turned red. It really was him.
It was not some illusion she was having; it really was him. "Am I dreaming?"
Princess Yu Yunshang did not know about Jun Xiaoyao's reincarnation in the Boundary Sea. Therefore, she also thought that Jun Xiaoyao had fallen. She had even gone to pay her respects at Jun Xiaoyao's cenotaph.
But now, this person she had thought about day and night was standing right before her eyes. Princess Yu Yunshang truly felt a sense of unreality, as if she were dreaming.
"The twists and turns in this are hard to explain in a short time. In short, it is me," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Princess Yu Yunshang's delicate body trembled slightly. She stared at the man in front of her, imprinting him in her heart. He seemed to have changed a little, yet he also seemed the same as before.
Princess Yu Yunshang really wanted to step forward and hug him. But she knew that her relationship with Jun Xiaoyao had not reached that level. Not to mention, her brother, King Yuhua, had once betrayed Jun Xiaoyao. Therefore, she had no qualifications.
"Young Master Jun, you are still alive; that is truly wonderful." Princess Yu Yunshang revealed a pale smile.
Jun Xiaoyao looked at Princess Yu Yunshang and felt that this woman had become somewhat different. When they first met, she was a princess of the Yuhua Divine Dynasty, doted upon, and full of innocence and playfulness. But now, Princess Yu Yunshang seemed much more mature.
"You were captured by the Exotic Realm, so what about your brother?" Jun Xiaoyao asked casually. He was naturally referring to King Yuhua.
The person who was once treated as a friend by him, but had then betrayed him. But Jun Xiaoyao did not care; the past was like the wind, and he had long since ceased to dwell on it.
When Princess Yu Yunshang heard this, a tear suddenly fell from the corner of her eye. "My brother... he died in battle."
"Hmm?" Jun Xiaoyao looked at Princess Yu Yunshang.
Princess Yu Yunshang's eyes were red. "After my brother betrayed you, Young Master Jun, he was always filled with regret and remained alone."
"And I... also because of this matter, always had a rift with my brother. Later, the Exotic Realm was in turmoil, and the great war began."
"My brother focused on killing creatures of the Exotic Realm, seemingly trying to forget this sense of guilt. In the end, however, he died in battle, killed by a powerhouse of the Exotic Realm."
When Princess Yu Yunshang said this, she wiped her eyes with her jade hand. Although she did not want to cry, she choked with sobs.
After listening, Jun Xiaoyao was silent. Looking back, all grievances and grudges were like flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water. King Yuhua, who had once been his friend but had betrayed him, had unexpectedly fallen just like this.
Jun Xiaoyao did not say anything, just gave a sigh. He now understood the reason Princess Yu Yunshang had become mature. After all, experiencing such things always allows a person to grow.
Besides a sigh, Jun Xiaoyao would not do anything. After all, King Yuhua had betrayed him. That he had not directly taken King Yuhua's life was already a kind of mercy. Naturally, he would not say anything about helping him take revenge or the like.
Princess Yu Yunshang clearly understood this point as well, so she did not say anything.
"Take this." Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand, conjuring a mass of liquid.
It was the water from the Spring of Life, which could help Princess Yu Yunshang recover from her injuries.
"Thank you, Young Master Jun." Princess Yu Yunshang expressed her gratitude.
She harbored admiration for Jun Xiaoyao. Even when she believed that Jun Xiaoyao had fallen, she had not been moved by any other man in these decades. The saying, "Meeting Xiaoyao ruins one for life," was exactly like this.
But now, the person she had thought about day and night was right before her eyes. Princess Yu Yunshang felt timid. She knew that Jun Xiaoyao had returned, and was now strong to an unimaginable degree. He was more transcendent and peerless than before, and even more perfect. She could not even look up to him anymore.
True love is the hand that wants to touch but pulls back.
"Alright, let's go first." Jun Xiaoyao smiled at Princess Yu Yunshang.
He turned around, his white clothes and white hair looking as free and easy as an immortal. He was like the white moonlight in the sky.
Princess Yu Yunshang gazed deeply at this scene. The white moonlight in the sky was beautiful but hard to reach. However, even if she could not reach it, at least she could bathe in the moonlight. Princess Yu Yunshang actually felt that this was not bad. She was already satisfied.
Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao brought Princess Yu Yunshang back to Tushan and let her recuperate there.
As for Jun Xiaoyao, he waited to head to the Heavenly Prison. He wanted to rescue Luo Xiangling. This woman had already sacrificed much for him. Back in the Exotic Realm, it was also Luo Xiangling who had always been behind him, backing him up and protecting him. And now, it was Jun Xiaoyao's turn to protect her.
