The entire humble abode was filled with a heavy atmosphere.
The villagers of Dahuang Village surrounding them all had solemn and sorrowful expressions, carrying a sense of unwillingness and frustration.
They were descendants of the Temple Guardians lineage, followers of the Ancient Sacred Body.
Their lineage once shared supreme glory alongside the Ancient Sacred Body.
Now, they had fallen to such a bleak end.
Ning Chen was tightly clenching his fists, his small face showing a stubborn and unyielding expression.
Though young in age, he understood many things.
Since childhood, Ning Defa had told him about the glorious deeds of the Ancient Sacred Body.
Within his body also flowed the bloodline of the Ancient Sacred Body.
Therefore, he felt very unwilling to accept this situation.
Little Xuanxuan also had reddened eyes, shedding tears for the Sacred Body and the Temple Guardians lineage.
"Sir, I apologize for making you learn about this heavy history," Ning Defa expressed with regret.
He felt that he might have placed too much pressure on the young Sacred Body before him.
After all, Jun Xiaoyao looked extremely young.
He shouldn't have to bear the heavy past of the Ancient Sacred Body.
"Elder, there's no need to be concerned. This is precisely what I wanted to learn about," Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.
Although this past was heavy, not everyone could bear it.
But for Jun Xiaoyao, this was nothing.
Revenge for grievances, retribution for wrongs.
With Jun Xiaoyao's status, position, and influence.
Revealing this buried truth wouldn't be too difficult a task.
"By the way, Elder, you should know the location of the Ancient Sacred Temple, right?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
He absolutely had to go to the Ancient Sacred Temple.
If nothing else, even just for the check-in rewards, he needed to make the trip.
"Can we go see Uncle again?" Ning Chen and Little Xuanxuan's eyes brightened.
Ning Defa nodded and said, "Of course, but, sir, you've killed people from the Cang family. If the Cang family comes looking for trouble..."
Ning Defa's eyes revealed worry.
The Hegemon Star Cang family was extremely prosperous, always at the pinnacle.
Now that Jun Xiaoyao had provoked the Cang family, they were concerned.
After all, they weren't clear about Jun Xiaoyao's identity and background.
"Is the Cang family very powerful?" Jun Xiaoyao asked calmly.
"The Cang family has legendary supreme powerhouses as their foundation. Our Temple Guardians lineage once had them too, but now..." Ning Defa sighed deeply, feeling somewhat ashamed.
The once glorious and numerous Temple Guardians lineage.
Now only a desolate and broken Dahuang Village remained.
With a population of less than a thousand, and no strong warriors.
Moreover, if not for the presence of that person in the Ancient Sacred Temple.
Perhaps even Dahuang Village would no longer exist.
"It doesn't matter. The Cang family is nothing. If they dare come, I'll destroy them," Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.
Although this was just a casual remark from Jun Xiaoyao.
The imposing aura within his words made Ning Defa and the villagers show surprised expressions.
Could it be that this young Sacred Body not only possessed powerful strength himself but also had a background that didn't fear the Cang family?
Ning Chen and Little Xuanxuan, these two little ones, listened with faces full of admiration, their eyes sparkling.
"Elder, please lead the way," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao's insistence, Ning Defa didn't say anything more and slightly nodded.
"Grandpa, we want to go too!" Ning Chen and Little Xuanxuan said.
Ning Defa nodded.
Afterward, Ning Defa led Ning Chen, Little Xuanxuan, Jun Xiaoyao, the Jade Moon Rabbit, and others to the Ancient Sacred Temple.
Watching the departing figures of Jun Xiaoyao and the others.
The group of Dahuang Village villagers all had expressions of both joy and worry.
The joy was that finally, a new Sacred Body had come to the Ancient Sacred Temple.
The worry was whether this Ancient Sacred Body could change the current situation of the Ancient Sacred Temple and the Temple Guardians lineage.
And could he deal with the Hegemon Star Cang family?
Meanwhile, on the way to the Ancient Sacred Temple.
Ning Defa also told Jun Xiaoyao about some matters.
For instance, the Cang family had already designated the Ancient Sacred Temple as a forbidden area.
It was precisely because of this that the outside world avoided and feared Dahuang Village.
"The great one in the Ancient Sacred Temple has already sacrificed too much for our Dahuang Village. I hope you have the ability to help," Ning Defa pleaded with cupped hands.
"Elder, rest assured. As fellow members of the Sacred Body lineage, I won't stand idly by," Jun Xiaoyao said.
He wasn't someone overflowing with kindness or a great philanthropist.
But as fellow members of the Sacred Body lineage, Jun Xiaoyao naturally wouldn't ignore them.
Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao already had a certain plan in mind.
He wanted to incorporate the Ancient Sacred Temple and the Temple Guardians lineage into the Jun Imperial Court.
Currently, the Temple Guardians lineage of Dahuang Village, though less than a thousand people.
They all had the potential to become powerful.
After all, possessing a trace of the Ancient Sacred Body bloodline, they couldn't possibly be too weak.
It was only because the environment of Barren Star wasn't suitable for cultivation, coupled with the limitations of the Sacred Body bloodline, that they were so weak.
After about half a day, a group of ancient buildings finally appeared before Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
Weathered city walls, collapsed ancient palaces.
Broken statues, seemingly narrating the once glorious splendor.
But now, everything no longer existed.
Here, not a blade of grass grew, utterly desolate, with dilapidated palaces everywhere.
Success and failure turn to emptiness. The Ancient Sacred Temple that once shook the Immortal Domain and made immortal forces bow in submission.
Now it was a scene of decline and desolation.
The north wind howled.
Jun Xiaoyao stood silently here, his eyes showing a trace of complexity.
Beside him, Elder Ning Defa also sighed silently.
Every time he came here, he felt a sense of sorrow in his heart.
Ning Chen and Little Xuanxuan, the two little ones, were also silent.
After a moment, Jun Xiaoyao came back to his senses and asked, "Is there still an Ancient Sacred Body in this Ancient Sacred Temple?"
Ning Defa slightly nodded and said, "Yes, that great one is in the main hall at the center."
Jun Xiaoyao nodded lightly.
He also had doubts in his heart.
If there was still an Ancient Sacred Body in the Ancient Sacred Temple, would that Ancient Sacred Body be willing to accept the current situation?
With this question in mind, Jun Xiaoyao walked toward the main hall located in the center of the building complex.
Just as he reached the entrance of the hall, a deep voice like wind-eroded sand suddenly sounded.
"Come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time..."
Hearing this voice, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes showed a trace of peculiarity.
He pushed open the door and entered.
The entire hall was extremely spacious and ancient.
However, it was very clean, with no dust.
Obviously, Ning Defa, Ning Chen, Little Xuanxuan, and others often came to clean.
Jun Xiaoyao looked over, his eyes flashing with a trace of surprise.
In the depths of the ancient hall, a somewhat hunched figure sat on the ground.
What surprised Jun Xiaoyao was that thick chains inscribed with runes pierced through that figure's shoulder blades.
His hands and feet were also bound with shackles.
Even more surprising was that this figure was carrying a stone tablet on his back.
Eight large characters were engraved on the stone tablet.
Unparalleled in the Universe!
Dominating the Heavens!
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes instantly sharpened, radiating cold electricity.
These eight characters revealed a boundless domineering battle intent.
Clearly, this was left by a Heavenly Tyrant Body!
