"I understand what you mean," Jun Xiaoyao said.
They simply wanted his help.
After all, if anyone could deal with the Golden Eye Demon Lord now, it was undoubtedly Jun Xiaoyao.
Although the Golden Eye Demon Lord was a Named Disciple of the Snow Moon Demon Emperor, the Gatekeepers, Jun Xiaoyao was the Gatekeepers's own son.
Not to mention his background.
Although the Golden Eye Demon Lord was backed by an extremely flourishing Yao Race lineage in the Heavenly Demon Universe, he still couldn't compare to the Yun Clan Emperor Clan.
At East Ridge Pass, others didn't dare to touch the Golden Eye Demon Lord.
But Jun Xiaoyao had nothing to fear.
"Young Lord, we also know that saying this might put you in a difficult position."
"But there's no other way. We really don't want to see this child, Xingling, suffer for a lifetime."
"We are just cannon fodder, but she has a great future."
"Moreover, this child has a strong personality, is independent, and distinguishes clearly between public and private matters."
"So it's absolutely impossible for her to tell you these things and ask you to solve her problems."
"Therefore, after thinking it over, we decided to speak up. We hope the Young Lord doesn't mind and can help this child."
The Blind Old Cultivator and the One-Armed Cultivator spoke with sincerity.
They were old retainers who had followed Lu Xingling's father.
In their eyes, Lu Xingling was like half their daughter.
Naturally, they didn't want Lu Xingling to be suppressed by villains and have her future and talent buried.
"I understand. You don't need to worry too much."
"I will handle this matter after the Demon Tide ends and we return," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Thank you, Young Lord!"
The Blind Old Cultivator and the others showed expressions of joy.
Jun Xiaoyao agreed not because he liked to play the saint.
Aside from the fact that he did admire Lu Xingling, there was another reason…
"The Demon Clan Four Lords… Purple Wisteria, who assigned the troops earlier, is also a Yao Race being."
"It seems the one targeting me should be one of the Demon Clan Four Lords."
"Perhaps he has some connection with the Hongchen Emperor Son, so he came to test me and give me a warning."
"Heh, it's quite a coincidence. These debts can be settled together."
A cold glint flashed in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
He had intended to settle accounts when he returned anyway.
Now was a good time to clear everything at once.
"What are you talking about?"
Lu Xingling finished her meditation and came over.
"Nothing," the Blind Old Cultivator said.
Saying anything now would only make Lu Xingling uneasy.
"Alright then, I should be done meditating. It's time for us to set off," Lu Xingling said.
Jun Xiaoyao nodded.
Afterward, the Seventy-Two Squad once again ventured deeper into the Star Corpse Land.
After an unknown period of time.
At a certain moment, Jun Xiaoyao suddenly transmitted a Divine Thought.
"Everyone, conceal your Qi."
"Hmm?"
Lu Xingling showed a hint of surprise.
However, they continued to advance.
They could vaguely see some shadowy black figures in the distance.
They were clearly Undead Fiends, one after another.
"How could this be?"
Lu Xingling was surprised again.
How did Jun Xiaoyao detect them in advance?
She knew clearly that she had activated her Soul Heavenly Eye.
Even in a place like the White Mist Zone, where the Divine Soul was suppressed, she could still detect things from a great distance.
It was also by relying on her Soul Heavenly Eye that she had avoided danger time and time again.
But this time, even she hadn't detected them in advance, yet Jun Xiaoyao had.
She could be certain that Jun Xiaoyao definitely didn't possess a Soul Heavenly Eye.
This meant that his own Primordial Spirit power was many times more profound than Lu Xingling's, who possessed a Soul Heavenly Eye.
"Just how powerful is Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao's Primordial Spirit?"
Lu Xingling felt it was incredible.
Naturally, she didn't know that Jun Xiaoyao possessed a Three Lifetimes Primordial Spirit, and his Primordial Spirit Rank had reached Ganges Grade Great Perfection.
This far exceeded his own Realm.
Even the Primordial Spirit Rank of some Quasi-Emperors might not reach this level.
"Oh?"
Jun Xiaoyao's Divine Soul sensed that those Undead Fiends were carrying corpses in their mouths.
They were precisely the bodies of the fallen Town Boundary Army powerhouses.
"What's going on?"
Jun Xiaoyao pondered.
Logically, these mutated Undead Fiends should have lost their sanity long ago, knowing only slaughter and devouring.
But now, these Undead Fiends were actually collecting the corpses of Human Race Cultivators.
This was somewhat strange and defied common sense.
"Something's off. The behavior of these Undead Fiends is inconsistent with before."
Lu Xingling also sensed that something was wrong.
"Don't alert them. Follow them secretly," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Lu Xingling nodded.
Unbeknownst to them, Jun Xiaoyao had already established absolute authority within the Seventy-Two Squad.
Even Lu Xingling had to consider his opinions.
Moreover, Lu Xingling had a subtle feeling that this time, Jun Xiaoyao might lead their squad to achieve a great merit!
Jun Xiaoyao and the others concealed their Qi and secretly followed behind the Undead Fiends.
After an unknown period of time, in the vast white mist ahead.
Suddenly, an incredibly majestic black mountain appeared.
That black mountain soared into the starry Universe, appearing incomparably grand.
At the foot of the mountain, countless corpses were piled together, densely packed, forming small mountains of corpses.
"This is…"
Jun Xiaoyao looked at the piled-up mountains of corpses.
He felt as if they were some kind of "nutrient" or "food."
What exactly was being fed?
Jun Xiaoyao looked again.
At the peak of that majestic mountain, thick black mist permeated and swirled, making it impossible to see what was inside.
Even with Jun Xiaoyao's powerful Primordial Spirit perception, it was difficult to completely penetrate it for a while.
"Is that black mist related to the Black Mist Zone?"
Lu Xingling also transmitted a Divine Soul message, with a hint of surprise.
What did this signify?
It signified that entities from the Black Mist Zone had entered the White Mist Zone.
Or rather, within that black mist, there existed something even more perilous and unpredictable than what was in the White Mist Zone!
And besides the mysterious black mist at the mountain peak.
On the mountainside, there were several Undead Fiends with extremely powerful Qi.
For example, the Golden Giant Tiger and the Black Flood Dragon from before.
They were beings that had devoured many of their fellow Undead Fiends, and were the cream of the crop.
And the most terrifying among them in terms of Qi was a Corpse Dragon.
Its appearance was not much different from an ordinary Dragon Clan member, but its Dragon body seemed to be pieced together from countless corpses.
One could even see distorted human faces on its surface!
"The Qi of a Chaos Dao Venerable Great Perfection…"
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed.
This was far more powerful than the previous Swallowing Heaven Sparrow and Death Demon Ape.
An ordinary Chaos Dao Venerable and a Chaos Dao Venerable Great Perfection were simply not on the same level.
Not to mention that this Corpse Dragon looked difficult to deal with.
"Young Lord, what should we do?"
Lu Xingling transmitted a message to Jun Xiaoyao.
The current situation had far exceeded the capabilities of their Seventy-Two Squad.
They were originally cannon fodder troops, and being able to deal with a Chaos Dao Venerable-level Death Demon Ape was already their limit.
But now, the situation was clearly out of control.
It could be said that even the top ten ace troops would be in a bind and not know how to handle this situation.
