Desolate Celestial Realm, Imperial State Clan Jun.
After the news of Jun Xiaoyao's death spread.
Countless beings throughout the entire Desolate Celestial Realm could feel it.
The entire celestial realm seemed to be trembling!
The source of the tremors came from the Jun Clan in the Imperial State!
At this moment, thunderous clamor shook the Jun Clan.
Many young members of the Jun Clan were shouting in shock, wailing, unable to believe it.
Jun Xiaoyao could be said to be the pillar of the younger generation of the Jun Clan, an existence like a faith.
Some Jun Clan members even taught their offspring, saying that in the future, you must be like Cousin Xiaoyao.
Be a man who stands tall, sweeps away all obstacles, and possesses an invincible spirit.
This shows how Jun Xiaoyao's prestige and authority in the Jun Clan had deeply won people's hearts.
It could be said that if Jun Xiaoyao wanted, he could become the head of the Jun Clan whenever he wished.
Absolutely no one in the Jun Clan would oppose it.
But now, this faith had collapsed.
Many people even now refused to believe it, thinking it was false news.
As for Jiang Rou, upon hearing this news, she directly fainted.
Earlier, news had come that one of Jun Wuhui's Three Pure Body Divisions had gone missing in a battle with the foreign domain's Red Hawk King.
Now, news of Jun Xiaoyao's death had arrived.
Jiang Rou, as a woman, indeed found it difficult to bear.
There were also Jun Linglong, Jun Yinger, Nalan Ruoxi, and Su Ziqiong.
They had not stepped onto the Emperor's Path and had been cultivating in the Jun Clan.
Now hearing the news of Jun Xiaoyao's death, the women were also crying inconsolably.
Of course, it wasn't just the Jun Clan that was in turmoil.
The Ancient Jiang Clan was equally unable to remain calm.
Jun Xiaoyao's maternal grandfather, Jiang Daoxu, was also experiencing emotional turbulence.
His worthy grandson had once gone alone to the Ancient Burial Grounds to find the Nine Wonders Reincarnation Immortality Grass for his health.
But now, such news had arrived, making it impossible for him to accept.
If it weren't for the fact that those who attacked Jun Xiaoyao were from the Jun Clan's hidden branch.
If it were any other force, Jiang Daoxu would truly lead the entire Ancient Jiang Clan to annihilate that force!
"Daoxu, calm your anger for now. The Jun Clan has not yet taken action."
"After all, this time it's related to the Jun Clan's hidden branch, and it's not appropriate for us to directly intervene." An elder of the Jiang Clan was advising.
"Hmph, if things are truly confirmed, I won't spare any of those who harmed my grandson!" Jiang Daoxu's killing intent was terrifying.
"Of course, Xiaoyao is also our Jiang Clan's young master, flowing with half of the Jiang Clan's bloodline."
The elders of the Jiang Clan all nodded.
Most people referred to Jun Xiaoyao as the Divine Son of the Jun Clan.
But they overlooked that he was also the young master of the Jiang Clan.
Although the Jiang Clan kept a low profile, it was also an ancient family and could not be ignored.
At this moment, in the ancestral shrine of the Jun Clan in the Imperial State.
Many Jun Clan elders were sitting cross-legged here.
At the forefront was the Eighth Elder of the Jun Clan, Jun Tianming.
Additionally, Jun Xiaoyao's grandfather, Jun Zhantian, was also present.
His beard was unkempt, his eyes bloodshot, and his mental state was not good.
"It has been confirmed that Xiaoyao's life tablet has shattered. He should... have truly perished," the Sixteenth Elder said solemnly.
"Damn it, how dare that Jun Bieli from the hidden branch do such a thing!"
The Eighteenth Elder lost his composure and couldn't help but shout angrily.
When Jun Xiaoyao was born, he was the first to be alerted and crawled out from the earth.
It could be said that he watched Jun Xiaoyao grow up and naturally had the deepest feelings for him, no different from a biological grandfather.
"Eighteenth, don't be hasty. We need to make further determinations about the specific situation," the Seventeenth Elder said.
"That's right. If it were other forces, we could simply annihilate them, but with the hidden branch, we need to consider carefully," the Fifteenth Elder said.
The hidden branch's strength and foundation were only slightly weaker than the main branch, but definitely not by much.
If they were to truly go to war with the hidden branch, the cost would be too great.
At that time, without the Supreme Immortal Court taking action, the Jun Clan would suffer damage.
Not to mention that now the foreign domain was eyeing them covetously, and the flames of war were about to ignite.
The Jun Clan could not afford an internal war at this time.
"So are we just going to let Xiaoyao's matter go?" the Eighteenth Elder objected.
"Of course not, but if we truly want to go to war with the hidden branch, we need the consent of the ancient ancestors before we can mobilize," the Fourteenth Elder said.
These elders in the ancestral shrine of the Jun Clan in the Imperial State were all in the seventh realm of supremacy. Although their seniority was not small, they were not the most ancient.
Those Jun Clan ancient ancestors at the quasi-emperor level and above were not in the ancestral shrine.
They were either in the outer space realm, in unknown dangerous lands, or sleeping in ancient forbidden areas.
Those ancient ancestors were the true holders of power in the Jun Clan.
And going to war with the hidden branch was different from going to war with other forces.
Other immortal forces could be annihilated without much consequence to the Jun Clan.
But the hidden branch also had deep foundations, and moreover, they shared the same origin, with blood ties between them.
It was precisely because of this that the Eighteenth Elder had previously said that if possible, it would be best if Jun Xiaoyao could return to the hidden branch.
But unexpectedly, this was now the result.
"May I ask Elder Tianming, have the ancient ancestors issued any decree?" the Sixteenth Elder inquired.
Sitting in the main seat, the Eighth Elder, Jun Tianming, had remained calm and had not spoken.
Now, Jun Tianming lifted his eyelids and said, "The ancient ancestors have not issued a decree."
"Could it be because Xiaoyao isn't dead? But that's impossible, the Heavenly Dao Crown has descended?"
Some elders speculated.
No one could deceive the heavens.
"Everyone, rest assured, those ancient ancestors naturally have their plans. If the Jun Clan is truly angered, what difficulty is there in overturning the heavens?" Jun Tianming said calmly, but his words were extremely shocking.
Contending with heaven was, in essence, just another test for Jun Xiaoyao.
If the Jun Clan truly wanted to cheat, they could have found each of the seven emperors from the beginning, and there wouldn't have been so many issues.
It was just that the Jun Clan wanted Jun Xiaoyao to experience some hardships and tests.
"The ancient ancestors' meaning, could it be..." the Eighteenth Elder seemed to have some realization.
"Don't rush, let the bullet fly for a while..."
"But... it's also time to teach certain forces a lesson." Jun Tianming's eyes revealed a meaningful gaze.
Now the Jun Clan elders were quite angry.
With anger, naturally, it needed to be vented.
It was time to find a scapegoat.
Meanwhile, outside the Primordial Emperor City.
Jun Bieli and others were preparing to return to the hidden branch.
An intangible wave seemed to transmit from billions of miles away in the distant universe.
Even separated by such a distance, that pressure made people tremble!
Quasi-Emperor!
This was the might of a Quasi-Emperor!
"Jun Bieli pays respects to the elder from the main branch."
Jun Bieli, dressed in plain clothes, ordinary and simple.
He slightly cupped his hands toward the void.
"Do you all have an explanation?" a calm, ancient voice transmitted.
Jun Bieli's eyes flashed slightly, and he cupped his hands, saying, "In the future, Bieli will certainly go to the Jun Clan's main branch to apologize with thorns on my back."
"Heh... is this something that can be resolved with an apology?"
"This..." Jun Bieli was momentarily speechless.
At this moment, another wave transmitted from the distant universe.
"Jun Tai'a, you still have your old temper, don't be so harsh on the younger generation."
This wave was the voice of an old woman.
"It's you, Jun Cuihua, you old immortal, you're still alive?"
Jun Cuihua, a name that sounded very rustic, even laughable.
But she was an ancient ancestor of the hidden branch with extremely old seniority, who had been deeply cultivating at the quasi-emperor level for many years, with unfathomable strength!
Sensing the waves of two quasi-emperors from the Jun Clan's main branch and hidden branch.
Many prying eyes around were filled with shock.
Could it be that the Jun Clan was truly going to have an internal war?
