Back then, the Dark Turmoil subsided.
Emperor Changsheng and others were sealed within the Land of Guixu.
The various Nine Heavens Forbidden Zones were swept by the heroes of the Immortal Domain.
Except for the Dreamy Void Realm, Kunlun Hill, Sword Tomb, and Immortal Mausoleum, all other forbidden zones were purged.
As for the Samsara Sea, due to the Immortal Lord of Reincarnation, only a portion of the powerful beings who had committed sins were beheaded.
The other forbidden zones, which were the main forces that incited the turmoil, were cleansed.
However, the Nine Heavens Forbidden Zones had existed since ancient times, possessed deep foundations, and had various means.
Although they suffered a bloodbath, it was impossible for there not to be a few fish that slipped through the net.
Therefore, after the cleansing, a small number of forbidden zone remnants escaped.
Now, the Seal on the Land of Guixu has been broken.
Apart from Emperor Changsheng, whose whereabouts are unknown, the Ancestor of Holy Spirits, Heavenly Lord of Emperor Fall, and Slaughter Heaven Beast God—the three Chief Sacrificers—have all defected to the Exotic Region, choosing to cooperate with it.
And those remnants of the forbidden zones naturally came to the Exotic Region as well.
The man speaking right now was a remnant of the Ruins of the Holy Spirit, named Mo Liu.
It could be said that these forbidden zones of the cleansing faction hated Jun Xiaoyao no less than the Exotic Region did, perhaps even more.
The Nine Heavens Forbidden Zones had been high and mighty, enjoying the pleasure of looking down upon the living beings of the Immortal Domain.
But in the blink of an eye, the situation changed, and the various forbidden zones were bloodied.
They became fugitive rats crossing the street, chased by everyone.
Finally, with no other choice, they defected to the Exotic Region.
One has to ask, how could they not hate Jun Xiaoyao?
"He is just a dead man. No matter how many legends he has, he is ultimately just a handful of yellow soil." The man named Mo Liu said coldly.
"That's right, Brother Mo is correct. This person destroyed our forbidden zone; he deserved to die. This is the retribution he earned."
Another man appeared. His body was covered in crimson scales, and his pupils were also crimson, breathing out flames.
He was evidently a remnant of the Beast Lair, one of the Nine Heavens Forbidden Zones.
The Beast Lair also held an irreconcilable hatred for Jun Xiaoyao.
This man's true form was an Eight-Clawed Fire Chi Dragon.
Like Mo Liu, his cultivation was at the Creation God Venerable realm, and his strength was not weak at all.
The other Exotic Region Cultivators present didn't say anything upon hearing this.
It was normal for the Nine Heavens Forbidden Zones to hate Jun Xiaoyao.
However, at this moment, a faint voice rang out.
"This gathering of heroes is a gathering for the Cultivators of our realm."
"Since when do even stray dogs have the qualifications to attend?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire noisy atmosphere instantly fell silent.
Mo Liu and the Eight-Clawed Fire Chi Dragon's expressions immediately darkened.
The term 'stray dogs' was like a steel needle, piercing deep into their hearts.
It was as if their scars were torn open and sprinkled with salt.
"Who is it?" Mo Liu shouted coldly.
The other Exotic Region Cultivators also showed expressions of confusion.
Although they inwardly agreed that these remnants of the Nine Heavens Forbidden Zones were indeed stray dogs who had come to defect to the Exotic Region, they had to admit that they were not to be trifled with.
After all, behind them stood the three Chief Sacrificers of the Nine Heavens Forbidden Zones, beings of the Near-God Level.
Although the Ancestor of Holy Spirits and others had not yet recovered from their injuries, their deterrent power was still there.
Therefore, no one would dare call them stray dogs to their faces.
"What, was I wrong?" a figure in white clothes and white hair, wearing a bone mask, said leisurely.
It was none other than Jun Xiaoyao.
He hadn't expected to run into creatures from the forbidden zones here.
Regarding these creatures from the forbidden zones who had incited the Dark Turmoil, he felt only coldness in his heart.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao, a trace of coldness appeared in Mo Liu's eyes.
He said: "Our forbidden zones and you are in a cooperative relationship, not a subordinate one. I hope you understand this."
Jun Xiaoyao's aura was restrained, and Mo Liu couldn't fathom his background.
But at a glance, he gave the impression that he was not someone to be trifled with.
Therefore, Mo Liu didn't dare to go too far.
"I understand, but our realm is so powerful that there is no need to cooperate with dogs."
Jun Xiaoyao didn't say much, but his words were absolutely venomous, enough to make anyone lose their composure.
"You go too far!" Mo Liu could no longer hold back, and his aura erupted.
However, Jun Xiaoyao merely cast a faint glance.
Boom! Mo Liu was directly pressed down, his bones broken and tendons snapped.
A look of horror appeared on his face.
This white-haired man clearly didn't look like someone from the older generation, yet his cultivation was so unfathomable!
"Wait..." Mo Liu roared, wanting to say something.
But with a bang, his body was crushed, turning into a puddle of blood.
On the other side, the Eight-Clawed Fire Chi Dragon saw this, revealed a look of shock, and turned to flee.
But Jun Xiaoyao merely lifted his eyes faintly.
An invisible Soul force suppressed and killed the Eight-Clawed Fire Chi Dragon.
The Eight-Clawed Fire Chi Dragon revealed its true form, a massive Chi Dragon with eight claws.
It resisted with all its might, but was instantly crushed, its Primordial Spirit extinguished directly.
In the blink of an eye, two remnants of the forbidden zones were dead!
"Hiss..." Some of the surrounding Exotic Region powerhouses were shocked by what they saw.
"To so easily kill two Creation God Venerables, could this white-haired man be a Chaos Dao Venerable?"
"Such a young Chaos Dao Venerable?" Some people showed expressions of astonishment.
In their imagination, for Jun Xiaoyao to be a Chaos Dao Venerable was already extremely Heaven-Defying.
The fall of the two forbidden zone creatures, although it sparked discussion, did not cause much of a stir.
Those not of our kin will always have different hearts.
In truth, the creatures of the Exotic Region didn't have any particular feelings for the creatures of the forbidden zones; they were indifferent.
Therefore, they didn't care about their life or death.
This small disturbance passed quickly, and the gathering of heroes continued.
Next, some Exotic Region creatures began to pick jade peaches.
Some also offered them to Jun Xiaoyao with an air of respect.
Clearly, Jun Xiaoyao's performance just now had already attracted some attention.
Jun Xiaoyao tasted the jade peach; it was fragrant and fresh.
It could be said that this single jade peach could allow a Cultivator to make significant progress.
But for Jun Xiaoyao, at his current level, the resources and energy required to take even a single step forward were unimaginable.
Therefore, the stronger a person is, the more difficult it is to break through.
But after breaking through, they will be far stronger than others.
At this moment, an Exotic Region Cultivator spoke up.
"By the way, some time ago, I captured a few creatures from the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain at the Border Pass. I wonder if anyone wants to trade for them?"
As he spoke, he waved his large hand, and a cage appeared, in which several creatures from the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain were imprisoned.
"I have some here too. They are the proud sons of an ancient clan from the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain. They would make good servants. They can be traded for various ancient herbs or scriptures."
Immediately, the place became lively.
Some Exotic Region Cultivators began to trade prisoners of war.
Those prisoners of war from the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain all had expressions of humiliation and hatred on their faces.
In the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, they were all outstanding elites.
Now, they were actually being traded like goods.
Seeing this, a flash of coldness appeared in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
But he didn't make a move.
Because even if Jun Xiaoyao could save one or two, he couldn't save them all.
If he took all the prisoners of war here, it would certainly arouse suspicion.
Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao did not act rashly.
Just then, a man with a head full of blood-red hair and dressed in a blood-colored robe suddenly spoke up.
"I am cultivating a technique and need a Cauldron. I wonder if any of you have a suitable one."
"It would be best if it were a woman with an extraordinary Bloodline. If you have one, I can trade for it with a heavy price."
Some people looked over upon hearing this.
"It's Xue Lingfei of the Blood Demon Imperial Clan. I wonder what evil Cultivation Technique he wants to practice now."
"Tsk tsk, the woman who ends up as his Cauldron will be miserable. Even death would be a luxury," someone commented.
Immediately, an Exotic Region Cultivator spoke up.
"I did capture a woman with a significant background. She is a princess of a Divine Dynasty in the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain."
"I wonder if she suits your tastes?" As this Cultivator spoke, he also summoned a cage, in which a disheveled yet stunningly beautiful woman was imprisoned.
Jun Xiaoyao cast a faint glance, and paused slightly.
