On the other side, 10th Prince Yu Huatian, who had separated from Jiang Chen, was also deliberating and pondering.
"Why was this person able to perceive my situation?"
"Even someone as powerful as Emperor Yan did not notice any clues at first."
10th Prince Yu Huatian's eyes flickered slightly.
Jiang Chen was right; he was indeed not 10th Prince Yu Huatian.
Or rather, not the "10th Prince Yu Huatian" of the past.
This also concerned his origins and secrets.
But he could even deceive Emperor Yan.
Yet he could not deceive Jiang Chen.
Although Jiang Chen was the Young Pavilion Master of Guantian Pavilion.
But 10th Prince Yu Huatian did not believe that Jiang Chen had reached the level of deducing the universe and calculating heavenly secrets.
"This person should also have some secrets, and through some means of his, he saw through some of my clues."
10th Prince Yu Huatian mused.
This Jiang Chen was also a target that could be harvested.
Not to mention, he also knew 10th Prince Yu Huatian's secret.
10th Prince Yu Huatian would absolutely not allow Jiang Chen to continue living.
But for now, compared to dealing with Jiang Chen.
Jun Xiaoyao was indeed more troublesome.
From Jiang Chen, he had already confirmed that Jun Xiaoyao came from the Jun Family.
"Regardless, this Jun Xiaoyao is not an easy target to deal with."
"If I could perform Possession or refine this person, that would be for the best."
"Right now, it is indeed more advantageous to cooperate with that Jiang Chen."
In 10th Prince Yu Huatian's heart, various schemes were surging.
Now, whether it was Ye Yu, Jiang Chen, or 10th Prince Yu Huatian, all regarded Jun Xiaoyao as a major enemy and opponent.
But Jun Xiaoyao was not like that.
His current mindset was like that of a shepherd.
And the three, Ye Yu and the others, were the sheep he was herding.
Once the sheep were fattened, the shepherd would have to think about whether it was time to harvest.
At least for now, it was not the time.
Jun Xiaoyao, taking Sang Yu, left Tianfang City.
This time, the rest of the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty, as well as Su Jinli, did not follow.
The Lotus Temple where Sang Yu resided was located in an unremarkable small world.
Through several teleportation Formations, Jun Xiaoyao and Sang Yu arrived in this world.
Although this world could not compare to those vast great worlds, it was still extremely extensive.
Jun Xiaoyao and Sang Yu descended into the depths of a continent.
At a glance, the vast and boundless green secluded forest stretched on endlessly.
Mountains rose up, shrouded in spiritual mist.
Towering ancient trees reached the sky, and majestic sacred mountains stood tall.
At a rough glance, one would only think the scenery here was magnificent.
But with one sweep of Jun Xiaoyao's gaze, he perceived a trace of the extraordinary.
Although he had not studied Source Arts much, nor was he very interested in them.
But as the saying goes, if one principle is mastered, all principles are mastered.
Jun Xiaoyao's talent was too Heaven-Defying.
Even without systematic study, he could draw inferences about alchemy, Formations, talismans, Source Arts, and so on.
He could perceive that the terrain here was unusual; it was a place where all rivers converged into the sea, and Spiritual Qi gathered.
It was a rare, spiritual land for cultivation.
Moreover, this was not naturally formed.
It seemed to be a treasure land formed through human effort, using various Formations, mountains, and terrain.
This was a bit unusual.
It seemed Jun Xiaoyao had really guessed correctly.
This Lotus Temple should really have something to it; it was not simple.
Sang Yu led him deep into it.
Spiritual birds and beasts occasionally disappeared, mountains and rivers undulated, and mists and rays of light permeated the air.
Before long, Sang Yu and Jun Xiaoyao arrived at a mountain range.
Within the mountain range, pavilions stood tall, and kiosks were scattered everywhere.
There were also some Taoist temples.
They did not look large, but they had an extraordinary atmosphere.
"Is this the Lotus Temple?"
Jun Xiaoyao took a look.
But to his surprise, within the Lotus Temple, there seemed to be no traces of people; it was very quiet.
"Granny Lian!"
"Sang Yu has found a way to help you lift the curse!"
Sang Yu called out, a look of joy on her face.
But no one responded.
Sang Yu's pretty face changed; she sensed something was wrong.
A moment later, a few figures came flying through the air.
"Little Senior Sister Sang Yu, you have finally arrived!"
These few men and women looked at Sang Yu, their faces showing pleasant surprise.
Although Sang Yu did not look old.
Because she was a Disciple adopted by the Lotus Temple Master, her seniority was higher than many others, and she was the Little Senior Sister within the Lotus Temple.
"Where are Granny Lian and the others?"
Sang Yu's tone carried a hint of urgency.
"People from the Tianlan Sect came again and forced the Temple Master and the others to leave and go to the Blood River Burial Star."
A Lotus Temple Disciple said.
"What, they went there again!"
Sang Yu looked anxious.
Previously, the Lotus Temple Master had contracted the curse in the depths of the Blood River Burial Star.
"Blood River Burial Star, what kind of place is that?"
Jun Xiaoyao asked.
Sang Yu also explained.
That Blood River Burial Star was a dangerous Forbidden Ground not far from this world.
Ordinary Cultivators would simply not go near it.
Some time ago, the experts of the Tianlan Sect came here, demanding that the Lotus Temple Master and the others go to the Blood River Burial Star to search for sources and mine.
The Lotus Temple Master and the others were unwilling, so the Tianlan Sect forced them to act.
The Lotus Temple Master had contracted an inexplicable curse after that.
That was why Sang Yu went to find the treasure to lift the curse.
But who would have thought that the Tianlan Sect would come again, forcing the Lotus Temple Master and the others to go to the Blood River Burial Star.
This was equivalent to sending them to their deaths.
Sang Yu bit her lip tightly.
Jun Xiaoyao said calmly, "Miss Sang Yu, no need to worry. What is the harm in going to take a look?"
"Young Master Jun..."
Sang Yu's expression was stunned.
She did not expect that Jun Xiaoyao would actually be willing to go to such a dangerous Forbidden Ground as the Blood River Burial Star.
"But that place..."
"I don't think there will be any problems."
Jun Xiaoyao smiled indifferently.
Whatever dangerous Forbidden Ground it was, to the current Jun Xiaoyao, it was nothing more than that.
Not to say he could sweep through all Forbidden Grounds.
If Jun Xiaoyao wanted to escape, it would not be a problem.
Not to mention, he was the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo.
Unless it was a terrifying curse of peerless power, it would not be able to touch him.
Jun Xiaoyao's words gave people a sense of inexplicable stability.
Sang Yu also calmed herself down.
Next, Jun Xiaoyao and Sang Yu left the Lotus Temple and headed to the location of the Blood River Burial Star.
The Blood River Burial Star was not far from the realm where the Lotus Temple was located.
At this moment, in the region of the Blood River Burial Star.
A flying boat was crossing the sky.
On the flying boat stood a group of people, among whom was an old woman with white hair, who was the Lotus Temple Master, Granny Lian.
Her face was sickly pale, and there seemed to be black Qi lingering between her brows.
It was clear she was suffering from a terrifying curse.
Besides her, there were other Cultivators from the Lotus Temple, who were also in the same state, suffering from the curse, in very poor condition.
And behind this flying boat.
There was a warship with an incomparably majestic Aura, filled with some Cultivators.
Some of them were the Tianlan Sect Cultivators who had forced the Lotus Temple.
But besides that, there were Cultivators of other races.
Inside the pavilion of the warship.
Two figures sat opposite each other.
One of them was a middle-aged man, radiating the Aura of the Emperor Realm.
It was the Sect Master Tianlan.
And sitting opposite him was a man who looked very young.
His body was upright, and his Aura was extraordinary.
Although he had not yet attained the Dao and become an Emperor, it was not too far off.
And what was most striking was that on the young man's body, there seemed to be wisps of Chaos Aura flowing.
At every moment, it caused the Void Realm to vibrate and fluctuate.
Logically speaking, the Emperor Realm and below the Emperor Realm were two different worlds.
An Emperor, facing a Quasi-Emperor, naturally had a different status.
But the Emperor-level Sect Master Tianlan did not put on any airs of an Emperor toward this young man.
Instead, he was very amiable, and there was even a hint of obsequiousness in it.
The reason was naturally because this young man sitting opposite him had an extraordinary background.
He came from one of the top 100 clans, the Huntian Clan!
