After the trip to West Mausoleum Divine Mine, the news also shook all directions.
Although it was known that the trip to the Divine Mine was extremely dangerous, no one expected the losses to be so great.
Earth Emperor Palace suffered quite heavy losses.
Apart from Huang Zhi and a few others, the teams of Zong Hong, King Xu, and others all perished within.
It's imaginable that when this news reached Earth Emperor Palace, it would cause a stir.
After all, both of them were True Disciples of Saint King.
There was also another matter.
That was, Jiang Yi, the Jiang Family Young Lord, also perished within and did not come out.
Many people felt a bit surprised.
After all, Jiang Yi possessed the Earth Master Legacy and also had Earth Extremity Yin Eyes.
Logically speaking, no matter what, he should have been able to escape without issue.
However, no one delved deeper into it.
After all, no one knew what they would encounter inside the West Mausoleum Divine Mine.
The Jiang Family was naturally furious beyond measure.
Jiang Yi was the hope for their Jiang Family's rise, yet he inexplicably perished there.
The Jiang Family actually had some suspicions.
The biggest suspect was naturally the Wu Family.
After all, the Wu Family and the Jiang Family had always been at odds.
Additionally, Jun Xiaoyao was also considered a suspect.
But so what?
Without evidence, what could the Jiang Family do?
Taking a step back, even if the Jiang Family had evidence, what then?
Now, because of Wu De and Cai Shiyun's relationship, coupled with Jun Xiaoyao giving the five ore veins from the bet to the two families earlier, Jun Xiaoyao's relationship with the Wu Family and Cai Family was also very good.
No matter what, the Jiang Family was helpless.
It was impossible for them to target both the Wu Family and the Cai Family simultaneously.
Not to mention, Jun Xiaoyao also had connections with Huang Qinger and Hao Ren.
The Phoenix Clan and the Bandit forces standing behind them should not be underestimated either.
Therefore, the Jiang Family was filled with anger but could not vent it.
As for Jun Xiaoyao, he naturally ignored these ripples.
Such minor ripples were not worth his attention.
After the trip to West Mausoleum Divine Mine, Jun Xiaoyao and the others returned to Western Extremity Ancient City.
Inside a pavilion at the Cai Family's residence, two figures sat opposite each other.
It was precisely Huang Zhi and Jun Xiaoyao.
"Since our last parting at the Three Emperors Barrier, I didn't expect to see Young Lord again in the Realm Within a Realm."
"I still remember the life-saving grace from last time, Huang Zhi keeps it in her heart."
Huang Zhi's beautiful face wore a smile as she looked at Jun Xiaoyao with a grin.
Although not much time had passed since the Three Emperors Barrier, Huang Zhi felt that Jun Xiaoyao's current aura was even more terrifying, far more unfathomable than before.
This was naturally because Jun Xiaoyao's Physical Body was advancing towards the Quasi-Emperor realm.
That's why he gave Huang Zhi such an unfathomable feeling.
"Miss Huang Zhi, you should know the purpose of my visit to the Western Heaven Realm, right?"
Jun Xiaoyao also went straight to the point.
Hearing this, the smile on Huang Zhi's face faded, and her expression seemed a bit off.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing her like this, Jun Xiaoyao said lightly.
"Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao came to the Western Heaven Realm, presumably for Yunxi."
"However, she is in secluded cultivation, so she did not come to the West Mausoleum Divine Mine this time."
Huang Zhi said, her mind pondering how to phrase her words so as not to be too abrupt and provoke Jun Xiaoyao's anger.
"Miss Huang Zhi, feel free to speak your mind. This Young Lord is not an unreasonable person."
Jun Xiaoyao picked up his teacup and took a shallow sip.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao's stance, Huang Zhi also cautiously said, "Then I'll say it, I hope Young Lord won't get angry first."
"It's like this, Saint King Ziwu wants to strengthen the relationship between Earth Emperor Palace and Human Emperor Palace."
"So he proposed an idea, wanting to bring Yunxi and Chu Xiao, the Human Emperor Heir, together."
As Huang Zhi spoke, she carefully observed Jun Xiaoyao's expression.
She knew that Chu Xiao and Jun Xiaoyao had a significant grudge.
Bringing Yunxi and Chu Xiao together was practically touching Jun Xiaoyao's reverse scale.
Although Huang Zhi didn't know how important his sister was in Jun Xiaoyao's heart, given Yunxi's attachment to her brother, their sibling relationship should be extremely good.
That's why Huang Zhi felt a bit uneasy.
Then she added, "Of course, on this matter, Lord Fuyao is absolutely against it and does not agree with Saint King Ziwu's proposal."
"But later, Earth Emperor Palace held a voting meeting, with each of the five Saint Kings having one vote."
"Lord Fuyao Saint King and Saint King Xuanxin opposed it."
"Saint King Ziwu, Saint King Tiankui, and Saint King Taishan all agreed."
"According to the principle of minority obeying the majority, Earth Emperor Palace passed this resolution."
"After Yunxi received the news, she said she was in secluded cultivation, but in reality, it was also a silent protest."
Huang Zhi added a lot, fearing that Jun Xiaoyao would mind.
After all, Jun Xiaoyao trusted Fuyao Saint King, which was why he was willing to let Yunxi go to Earth Emperor Palace.
Now that this incident had occurred, even Fuyao Saint King was a bit angry.
Not to mention Jun Xiaoyao.
But...
Unlike the imagined fury, Jun Xiaoyao still held his teacup, took a shallow sip of tea, and said lightly, "That's it? Nothing else?"
"Uh... Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao, isn't this a big deal?"
Huang Zhi was somewhat startled and subconsciously replied.
"Heh..."
Jun Xiaoyao chuckled softly.
"You thought I would be angry, or furious, and then take it out on you and Fuyao Saint King?" Jun Xiaoyao laughed dismissively.
Huang Zhi also looked embarrassed, it seemed Jun Xiaoyao had seen through everything long ago.
"Don't worry, why would I care about something that's impossible to happen?"
Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.
But hearing this, Huang Zhi frowned slightly and said, "Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao, actually, this is not something impossible to happen."
"Earth Emperor Palace has already passed it, and news from Human Emperor Palace indicates that Chu Xiao has also agreed."
"With both Human Emperor Palace and Earth Emperor Palace agreeing, this matter is basically set in stone."
If there was still room for reversal, they would have resolved it themselves, and wouldn't have told Jun Xiaoyao.
It was precisely because there was no other way that Huang Zhi spoke out.
Jun Xiaoyao put down his teacup, a hint of indifference and disdain on his face.
"So what if Human Emperor Palace and Earth Emperor Palace agree?"
"If this Young Lord says it's impossible, then it's impossible."
"Yunxi is my sister, the treasured pearl of my Yun Clan Emperor Clan."
"In my opinion, this is nothing more than a farce of a toad wanting to eat swan meat." Jun Xiaoyao said.
Huang Zhi was speechless upon hearing this.
The dignified Human Emperor Heir, Chu Xiao, who was renowned in the Realm Within a Realm, was called a toad by Jun Xiaoyao.
However, Huang Zhi thought about it carefully, and it seemed Jun Xiaoyao indeed had the qualifications to say that.
But she still worried, "However, Human Emperor Palace will hold the Human Emperor Grand Banquet for Chu Xiao later, and Earth Emperor Palace will also attend and announce this matter then."
"Human Emperor Grand Banquet?"
Huang Zhi also briefly explained it.
Only then did Jun Xiaoyao understand that the Human Emperor Grand Banquet was merely Chu Xiao's enthronement ceremony, to bestow upon him the legitimate identity of the Human Emperor Heir.
"The Human Emperor Grand Banquet will be a grand event in the Realm Within a Realm. Once the news is announced then, there will basically be no way out." Huang Zhi said.
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered, and then he chuckled lightly.
"That's good, it's exactly what I want. At that time, I'll definitely give Chu Xiao a big surprise gift."
The corners of Jun Xiaoyao's lips curled into an arc.
It was that familiar smile again.
When Jun Xiaoyao showed this smile, it meant someone else was about to face misfortune.
And when Huang Zhi saw this, her heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that this noble and powerful Yun Clan Young Lord was going to cause a scene at the Human Emperor Grand Banquet?
