If Kou Lie's words were heard by Jun Xiaoyao, he might be surprised, but definitely not shocked.
No matter what, the Ba Clan was still a Black Calamity Race with profound heritage.
If after all this time, they still couldn't find any clues about Di Nv Ba's Reincarnation, then Jun Xiaoyao would truly suspect that everyone in the Ba Clan was just a freeloader.
Therefore, from beginning to end, Jun Xiaoyao never thought of forever hiding Yiyi's identity.
But he needed to buy time.
As long as he had enough time to prepare, then even if Yiyi's identity was exposed, he would be able to shield her from the storm and protect her.
So Jun Xiaoyao's goal was to buy time, not to keep it a secret forever.
"Her identity cannot be confirmed for now, but her ability to control the Xuanhuang Universe doesn't that itself indicate some issues?"
The Divine Thought from the black mist came.
"In that case, when do we act?"
Kou Lie the Great was already a bit impatient.
Jun Xiaoyao was the first Young Lord to slap him in the face, and he didn't want him to live in peace.
"Don't rush, this is not something that can be done in a short time."
"Moreover, Yun Tianya and the Yun Clan Emperor Clan are not to be trifled with."
"To target the Xuanhuang Universe, we must first deal with the trouble that is Yun Tianya; he has always been watching our clan's movements."
When Yun Tianya was mentioned, the Divine Thought in the black mist also carried a hint of coldness.
The Gatekeepers of the Boundary Sea had brought many troubles to their Black Calamity Race.
Yun Tianya was the most prominent among them.
Wielding the Tianya Emperor Sword, he had repeatedly blocked the Ba Clan's supreme powerhouses from crossing the Three Emperors Barrier.
It could be said that without dealing with Yun Tianya, it would be very difficult for them to target Jun Xiaoyao and the Yun Clan Emperor Clan.
"I'm getting a bit impatient," Kou Lie the Great said with a solemn expression.
"Heh heh, the Black Calamity Race is not just our Ba Clan."
"Counting the time, that clan should also be making some noise now, right?" the Divine Thought in the black mist said.
"You mean that clan has also started to move and is going to test the waters?"
Kou Lie the Great's eyes also deepened.
If that were the case, then the Three Emperors Barrier would be busy again.
"Haste makes waste. When the Black Calamity Race continuously attacks, and the Three Emperors Barrier is exhausted from running around,"
"That will be the opportune moment for our clan to act."
"Regardless of whether that girl from the Xuanhuang Universe is related to our clan's Empress, we need to investigate it thoroughly," the voice in the black mist said.
"Hmph, fine, let that little brat show off for a while longer."
"When the catastrophe descends, he will know that without his father and the Yun Clan Emperor Clan, he is nothing!"
Kou Lie the Great sneered.
Although as an Emperor, he generally wouldn't bother with a junior, Jun Xiaoyao's slap in the face was too profound for Kou Lie the Great to ignore.
After the Prodigy's bloody battle, the entire Three Emperors Barrier was stirred by waves of discussion regarding Jun Xiaoyao's merits.
However, as time passed, it gradually calmed down a bit.
But Jun Xiaoyao's name had been completely established in the Three Emperors Barrier and could not possibly fade away.
Many people believed that a tiger father had no weak son, and Jun Xiaoyao possessed the demeanor of his father, Emperor Tianya.
He would become the new pillar of the Boundary Sea in the future.
In a flash, several months passed.
East Ridge Pass remained calm.
"Sigh, my mouth is so bland, we're here for experience!" a Prodigy sighed.
"Could it be that those Ba Clan members were scared off by Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao? There's been no movement at all."
"This time, the Ba Clan must be feeling the pinch."
"But I'm still a bit worried about the bet between Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao and that Hongchen Emperor Son."
"Yeah, Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao is my role model now, I don't want him to lose this bet."
Some Prodigies were discussing.
The one-year agreement was getting closer and closer, with only a few months left.
But Jun Xiaoyao, as one of the parties involved, showed no sign of urgency.
Meanwhile, at Dragon Gate Pass, after seeing that Jun Xiaoyao's merits on the list hadn't changed for several months, Hongchen Emperor Son also felt a little relieved.
"Heh, what if he has ability?"
"Merits aren't just obtained by ability; Opportunity and Luck are indispensable."
"This bet, I am destined to win."
Hongchen Emperor Son felt at ease, waiting for the one-year period to arrive.
Back at East Ridge Pass, inside Jun Xiaoyao's residence, Li Feiyan, dressed in a purple brocade robe exuding nobility and charm, handed a cup of tea to Jun Xiaoyao with her jade-like hand.
Jun Xiaoyao took it and took a light sip.
Then he said, "Yusheng, you taught well, this tea has some flavor."
Beside him, another bright-eyed, beautiful girl with exquisite features smiled, it was Yun Yusheng.
"If possible, Yusheng would still like to personally brew tea for Young Lord."
Yun Yusheng's long eyelashes fluttered, making her look radiant and charming.
"Heh..."
Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly.
Behind him, Ji Yue was expressionlessly massaging his shoulders.
Who would have thought that this female Prodigy of the Ba Clan, infamous and even on the black calamity bounty list, was now massaging Jun Xiaoyao's shoulders?
Jun Xiaoyao could be said to be living a life of leisure.
Other Prodigies came for experience; he came to enjoy.
Of course, he also had the capital to enjoy.
After all, the merits he had achieved surpassed those of all other Prodigies combined.
"By the way, Young Lord, you still have a one-year agreement with that Hongchen Emperor Son, and now, time is running out..."
Yun Yusheng reminded him.
Beside them, Li Feiyan was also very concerned.
If Jun Xiaoyao lost this bet, she might even be taken by that Hongchen Emperor Son.
After personally witnessing Jun Xiaoyao's peerless demeanor, she no longer wanted to leave him.
Becoming his maid was already an honor.
"No hurry, what's meant to come will come."
"I think my Luck has never been bad."
Jun Xiaoyao's attitude was very calm, he took another sip of tea and smiled faintly.
He had harvested so many Children of Fortune and World Children; his Luck shouldn't be bad, right?
At the junction of the White Mist Zone and the Gray Mist Zone, in a chaotic Void Realm, a group of figures was moving through it, exploring.
It was a team of Town Boundary Army from East Ridge Pass.
In fact, even when there was no war, the Three Emperors Barrier would send out teams of Town Boundary Army to explore and search in places like the White Mist Zone.
They could grasp some movements of the Black Calamity Race in advance.
Of course, this was limited to the White Mist Zone and the junction.
Because if they entered the Gray Mist Zone, the danger level would greatly increase, and it would no longer be something an exploration team could handle.
And this exploration team, due to an accident, was swept into a Void Realm crack.
Unexpectedly, they were teleported to the edge of the White Mist Zone, at the junction with the Gray Mist Zone.
"This place seems to be the Shattered Star River. Further ahead is the Gray Mist Zone, Captain, let's retreat."
A Town Boundary Army Cultivator said worriedly.
"This is our first time here, and I heard that the Shattered Star River connects to many ancient relic worlds."
"Many ancient relic worlds were left over from the Great Calamity of the Ancient Black Calamity; perhaps we can find some ancient treasures."
The captain of this exploration team said.
And just then, in the depths of the starry sky ahead, dense black shadows suddenly appeared, emitting rustling sounds.
The sound was not like that of an ordinary living being.
It sounded more like the sound of some kind of insect.
"What is that, an Undead Fiends tide?" a less experienced Town Boundary Army newcomer exclaimed, transmitting his voice.
Upon seeing this, the captain of the exploration team's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he transmitted his voice.
"Not good, retreat! Quickly report back to East Ridge Pass, something big has happened!"
