"Hmm?"
Jun Xiaoyao looked at the Tingxue Tower Quasi-Emperor with surprise.
"Is Your Excellency named Jun Xiaoyao?"
The Tingxue Tower Quasi-Emperor asked.
"How is it? When Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan hired you to make a move, did he not tell you that you were meant to kill me?"
A mocking smile appeared on Jun Xiaoyao's face.
"We just wanted to confirm it once more."
The Tingxue Tower Quasi-Emperor said.
"What does this mean?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"It seems it really is that Young Lord Yun Xiao from the Boundary Sea."
The Tingxue Tower Quasi-Emperor said suddenly.
There was hesitation in his eyes, and even a faint trace of reverence.
"Hmm, it seems that as a force in the darkness, the intelligence network of your Tingxue Tower is not so bad after all."
"However, since you know my background and still dared to make a move, your courage is not small," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"We just wanted to confirm. If we have offended Young Master Jun in any way, we hope for your forgiveness."
The Tingxue Tower Quasi-Emperor bowed to Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao was slightly surprised.
This attitude was truly polite, which felt quite incongruous with the status of a Tingxue Tower assassin.
Or could it be that this is a group of refined and easy-going assassins?
"To be honest, our Tingxue Tower dares not touch Young Master Jun in the slightest," the Tingxue Tower Quasi-Emperor said.
Jun Xiaoyao fell silent.
The Tingxue Tower Quasi-Emperor continued: "But this is not because of Young Master Jun's background in the Yun Imperial Clan or the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace."
"It is because our Tingxue Tower Master has given orders that we must not touch anyone with the surname Jun."
Hearing this, a strange look appeared in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
What this Quasi-Emperor said was not out of fear of the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace.
It was that they could not touch anyone with the surname Jun.
This was quite interesting.
"Can I meet your Tingxue Tower Master?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
The Tingxue Tower Quasi-Emperor shook his head slightly: "The Tower Master's movements are elusive. Unless she is willing, no one can find her."
"However, Young Master Jun, if there is a chance in the future, you will naturally meet the Tower Master."
"Very well," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"By the way, Young Master Jun, do you need us to help you eliminate Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan?"
The Tingxue Tower Quasi-Emperor continued.
To kill a Sacred Dynasty Crown Prince, hearing it from them sounded as easy as killing a chicken.
From this, one could see the power and terrifying prestige of the Tingxue Tower.
Unless it was one of the few Ultimate Forces standing at the Peak.
Otherwise, even a Sub-Ultimate Force would not be able to make the Tingxue Tower feel the slightest bit of fear.
"Turning around to assassinate the client, is that allowed?"
"Does that not violate your professional rules?" Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.
"It is naturally not allowed for others, but if Young Master Jun gives the order, it can be done," the Tingxue Tower Quasi-Emperor said.
Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly; he already had a guess in his heart.
However, he still shook his head slightly: "No need, he is just a small character like an ant."
The Tingxue Tower Quasi-Emperor nodded slightly, and then he took out a token that looked like warm jade, with the character 'Snow' engraved on it.
"This is the Tingxue Order of our Tingxue Tower. The Tower Master has said that if we encounter someone with the surname Jun, we may give it to him."
"Young Master Jun can use this to contact and mobilize all the forces of our Tingxue Tower."
Jun Xiaoyao took the token.
"Very well, then you may take your people and withdraw first," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Understood."
The Tingxue Tower Quasi-Emperor nodded slightly and vanished into the void.
Jun Xiaoyao rubbed the warm, jade-like Tingxue Order in his hand, a thoughtful expression appearing in his eyes.
"Tingxue Tower Master..."
A faint smile appeared at the corners of his lips.
"In that case, does this not count as me having control over the power of the Tingxue Tower?"
"This hidden power is quite convenient; perhaps it can do some things for me."
Jun Xiaoyao put away the Tingxue Order.
Now in the Origin Universe, on the surface, he had the backing of the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace.
In the darkness, he had the Tingxue Tower as a trump card.
Added to that, he had previously established a foundation of relations with the Fire Clan and the Feng Clan.
Later, he could also find a way to let the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty annex the other two major Sacred Dynasties and reorganize the Ancient Sacred Dynasty.
With his relationship with Xia Guihua and Xia Zhaoxue, the Ancient Sacred Dynasty should also be an ally.
It could be said that Jun Xiaoyao was planning step by step.
Now, without having officially stepped onto the stage of the Origin Universe, he had already laid many foreshadowings.
In the future, they would all become his support.
It is conceivable that in the future, in the Origin Universe, Jun Xiaoyao will likely be an existence capable of summoning wind and rain, standing at the Peak of power.
Jun Xiaoyao strode forward, his figure turning into a beam of light and vanishing.
When he returned to the side of the flying ship.
He discovered that the Tingxue Tower assassins had all withdrawn.
"Xiaoyao."
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao return, Xia Guihua's originally anxious heart calmed down.
"Are you all alright?"
Jun Xiaoyao walked over and said.
"We are fine. Young Master Jun, you don't know how worried Guihua was about you just now," Princess Hongxiu teased.
"Hongxiu."
Xia Guihua glared at her good sister.
"It's good that you are fine," Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.
"But why did the Tingxue Tower assassins suddenly withdraw?" Princess Hongxiu asked in confusion.
"Who knows?" Jun Xiaoyao said.
Regarding his affairs with the Tingxue Tower, Jun Xiaoyao did not want to reveal them for the time being.
The Tingxue Tower would be a dagger in the darkness, his hidden piece on the board.
Xia Guihua just looked at Jun Xiaoyao and didn't say anything.
Although she always felt that this matter was inseparable from Jun Xiaoyao.
"What is going on?"
Some of the powerful Cultivators of the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty were also extremely suspicious.
They knew that the Tingxue Tower assassins never stopped until they achieved their goal.
They had been prepared to fight to the death.
The result was so surprising.
However, surviving a near-death experience was good, and no one dwelled on it too much.
In the subsequent journey, everyone was more cautious.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
Everyone successfully passed through the cross-Star Domain teleportation array and arrived at the Muyang Star Domain.
...
The Origin Academy was located in a vast Star Domain in the center of the Muyang Star Domain.
As the most famous Holy Land for learning in the Origin Universe.
The opening of enrollment for this generation was clearly of extraordinary significance.
After all, everyone knew that the Black Calamity was not far off.
The Origin Universe, although transcendent, might not necessarily be able to stay out of it this time.
Therefore, preparations needed to be made early.
And the Prodigies of various forces naturally needed to improve themselves through every possible means.
The Origin Academy was one of those ways.
Although not all Prodigies would come to the Origin Academy, such as some supreme Prodigies of the Ultimate Forces.
But the Origin Academy was, after all, a gathering of some of the top Prodigies and talents of the Origin Universe.
Jun Xiaoyao and his group headed to the Ancient City of Tianyang within the Star Domain.
This was the place for enrollment registration.
The Origin Academy's enrollment was not limited to a single period of time.
Therefore, not all Prodigies would swarm in at the same time.
For example, earlier, Princess Huo Linger had told Jun Xiaoyao that she would also come to the Origin Academy.
But clearly, she had not arrived yet.
Xia Guihua was considered to have arrived relatively early, mainly because Jun Xiaoyao was coming.
Unlike the various procedures for ordinary people to join the Origin Academy.
Some Prodigies from Sub-Ultimate Forces could be exempted from various complicated assessments and join directly.
After all, Prodigies of this Rank would not be weak to begin with.
