Jun Xiaoyao was naturally unaware of the events unfolding in the Immortal Domain. Even if he knew, he would just smile and let it pass. Born into such an overprotective family, he believed that the Fallen God Palace wouldn't dare to do anything to him. At least on the surface, they wouldn't dare to act against him. "Jun Xiaoyao, you have caused a great disaster! We have already sent the news back. Even the Jun Clan cannot ignore the wrath of my Fallen God Palace," a black-robed Saint said in a cold and hoarse tone. "How dare you speak another disrespectful word to the Young Master!" Coldness surged in the eyes of Ancestor Dongxuan and Gu Yuan. Especially Gu Yuan; Jun Xiaoyao had confronted the Fallen God Scion for the sake of their Battle Demon Hall. He would not allow anyone to speak disrespectfully to Jun Xiaoyao. Just as the two black-robed Saints were about to say more, they once again received a message. And after learning the news, the expressions of the two black-robed Saints instantly froze. The message was only a short sentence. Do not provoke the Jun Clan's Divine Child for now! This left the two black-robed Saints dumbfounded. It was clearly Jun Xiaoyao who had caused the Fallen God Scion's demise. How was it that now, they were the ones who couldn't provoke Jun Xiaoyao? Seeing the micro-expressions of these two black-robed Saints, Jun Xiaoyao had anticipated this and sneered. "What, are you prepared to entangle yourselves with this Divine Child to the very end?" Hearing this, the faces of the two black-robed Saints turned as ugly as if they had swallowed a fly. They were not stupid. From this message, they could tell that the Fallen God Palace was wary of the Jun Clan and had backed down. To think that just a moment ago, they were still saying that the Fallen God Palace would make Jun Xiaoyao pay the price. But now, it was the Fallen God Palace that had chickened out first. The cheeks of the two Saints burned with shame, as if they had been slapped a hundred times. They did not stay any longer, turning around and leaving in disgrace. Watching the two Saints flee directly, all the Immortal Domain prodigies were somewhat astonished. What happened to the promised revenge? Why did they run away with their tails between their legs instead? Watching this scene, Yan Qingying's admiration for Jun Xiaoyao grew even stronger. The background and origin of Jun Xiaoyao must be even more formidable than she had imagined. Following such a master was not a disgrace, but rather an honor. "Alright, the matter here is settled. Your Battle Demon Hall should also prepare to rebuild," Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand. Gu Yuan and the Battle Demon Hall Master were both extremely excited upon hearing this. "Thank you, Young Master!" The two of them kowtowed sincerely. They believed that with Jun Xiaoyao's lingering might, the rebuilt Battle Demon Hall would definitely develop even better. The Battle Demon Hall would once again become the hegemon of the Netherworld Continent!
In the following days, Jun Xiaoyao also stayed on the Netherworld Continent, taking a short break for a few days. And the cultivators of the Battle Demon Hall, under the leadership of their seventh-generation Hall Master, Gu Yuan, conquered in all directions. Not only did they completely absorb the foundations of the three great sects, but they also conquered many other factions. Many other factions also came to seek refuge, wanting to join the Battle Demon Hall. The Battle Demon Hall also chose a large territory in the center of the Netherworld Continent as the site for its reconstruction. The entire Battle Demon Hall was a scene of thriving prosperity. It was conceivable that before long, a true hegemon would appear on the Netherworld Continent. And Jun Xiaoyao also had his gains on the Netherworld Continent. He had obtained the World's Origin of the Netherworld Continent and the supreme technique, the God-Swallowing Demonic Art. He had also recruited a Heaven-Defying Daughter with infinite potential as a follower. In terms of potential, Yan Qingying was not much weaker than Yi Yu. It was just that Yi Yu had been born into an ancient imperial clan, so his cultivation and vision were stronger than Yan Qingying, a prodigy from the Lower Realm. But as long as Yan Qingying was given time, with her God-Swallowing Demonic Art, coupled with her special physique that could accommodate any attribute of energy, she would definitely grow into a peerlessly strong Darkness Queen in the future. Jun Xiaoyao was still confident in his eye for picking people. In the newly built Battle Demon Hall, within a certain palace, steam was rising and permeating the air. Knowing that Jun Xiaoyao had a hobby of soaking in hot springs, even though he might only stay here for a few days, Gu Yuan still had someone build a hot spring pool. And at this moment, the one serving Jun Xiaoyao was not Su Ziqiong, but Yan Qingying. Su Ziqiong's maid duties were first snatched by Nalan Ruoxi, and now they were snatched by Yan Qingying. In the hot spring pool, Jun Xiaoyao was meditating with his eyes closed. Yan Qingying, with her pair of jade-like hands, was massaging his shoulders. Defeating the Fallen God Scion was an easy task for Jun Xiaoyao, so he didn't need to adjust his state at all; he just wanted to relax. On Yan Qingying's face, as white as frost and snow, as tender as congealed fat, there was a faint blush. Even though her personality had been influenced by the God-Swallowing Demonic Art, carrying some negative darkness and cold emotions, all of this vanished in front of Jun Xiaoyao. Only in front of Jun Xiaoyao would she let go of her coldness and become like a young woman. "Qingying, you have probably completely digested the power of the Fallen God Scion by now," Jun Xiaoyao inquired. "Mm, this is all thanks to the Young Master. On one hand, you avenged me, and on the other, you also allowed Qingying's strength to increase," Yan Qingying said softly. "That's good. In the future, I will let you devour other geniuses. Your strength will improve by leaps and bounds," Jun Xiaoyao said. Yan Qingying hesitated slightly, but still spoke, her voice faint, "Young Master, this God-Swallowing Demonic Art offends heaven and nature and is not tolerated by the world. The Demon Ancestor who created this technique back then also ended up in a situation where everyone wanted him dead. When the time comes, if..." This was the only thing Yan Qingying was worried about in her heart. The God-Swallowing Demonic Art went against the harmony of heaven. If she really followed Jun Xiaoyao back to the Immortal Domain, and her identity as the inheritor of the God-Swallowing Demonic Art brought trouble to Jun Xiaoyao, that was not what Yan Qingying wanted to see. "So this is what you were worried about," Jun Xiaoyao shook his head and chuckled. Indeed, in the Immortal Domain, the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Ancestor was notorious, an existence like a rat crossing the street. But so what? The Heaven-Swallowing Demon Ancestor was heavily injured and fled to the Lower Realm, ending up in such a tragic state, all because he was a lone wolf with no faction behind him. And relying on the God-Swallowing Demonic Art, he caused trouble every day. If he didn't die, who would? But Yan Qingying was different. With Jun Xiaoyao backing her, who would dare to criticize her identity as the inheritor of the demonic art? "What a silly girl..." Jun Xiaoyao sighed. Yan Qingying lowered her head in embarrassment, her cheeks flushing. If anyone else had called her that, Yan Qingying would have already gone on a killing spree. But when Jun Xiaoyao called her that, Yan Qingying only felt a little shy, as if there was a trace of doting in his tone. "Rest assured, this Divine Child will back you up." He had indeed inherited the Jun family's trait of being protective of his own. Since Yan Qingying had sincerely decided to follow him, Jun Xiaoyao naturally could not let her down. "Young Master..." Yan Qingying's young heart melted, and she was incredibly moved. Jun Xiaoyao had done so much for her. With such a sincere master, what reason did she have not to follow him with all her heart?
