Gu Yuan was completely stunned, his mind feeling as if it were being shaken by thunder. He was the seventh-generation Hall Master of the Battle Demon Hall. Although he had eventually ascended to the Immortal Domain, he still held a lingering attachment to the Battle Demon Hall. However, when he ascended to the Immortal Domain, the Battle Demon Hall had always been the strongest faction on the Netherworld Continent. How had it fallen to such a state now? "What exactly happened?" Gu Yuan asked. The Saint-realm pressure he emitted made the cultivator tremble. Heavens have mercy, he was just a minor cultivator passing by. Yet, in the blink of an eye, he had encountered such a terrifying group of people. Not only were they using a Nine-Headed Lion to pull their chariot, but there were even Saints among them. This minor cultivator was about to faint. Where did this group of formidable people come from? "What is the situation? Speak," Jun Xiaoyao also frowned slightly. This matter originally had nothing to do with him. But Gu Yuan had followed him to the Lower Realm for so long, always doing his best and staying dutiful. It wouldn't be right for Jun Xiaoyao to simply ignore this. When this minor cultivator saw Jun Xiaoyao, a hint of surprise also appeared in his eyes. Jun Xiaoyao's temperament was too transcendent. Even the Saint-level expert beside him had his temperament completely overshadowed by this white-robed youth. "Could he be a prodigy who descended from the Immortal Domain?" this minor cultivator thought with secret alarm. However, he still hurriedly recounted everything that had recently happened on the Netherworld Continent. After hearing all the news, Gu Yuan's face had become gloomy to the extreme. His entire person was like a volcano on the verge of erupting, his aura unstable. After Jun Xiaoyao listened, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. "The Fallen God Palace, the Fallen God Scion," Jun Xiaoyao thought for a moment. The Fallen God Palace was indeed a renowned immortal faction in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain. It was rumored that this lineage was one of the sources of demonic cultivation in the Immortal Domain, with a deep and ancient foundation. However, in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, it was just so-so. As for the Fallen God Scion, he also had a great reputation among the younger generation. He had once fought against three successors of immortal factions at the same time and had retreated completely unscathed in the end. That was the battle that made him famous. However, to Jun Xiaoyao, the Fallen God Scion's strength could only be considered passable. If it were him, those three successors of immortal factions would probably have to consider how to save their own lives. But Jun Xiaoyao had never met the Fallen God Scion, after all, so he didn't know if he had any hidden methods. Of course, the Fallen God Scion was not the main point. Jun Xiaoyao didn't care about him. What Jun Xiaoyao cared about was the God-Swallowing Demonic Art and the Heaven-Defying Son of the Netherworld Continent. Jun Xiaoyao had only vaguely heard of the God-Swallowing Demonic Art. It was rumored to be the cultivation technique of the Immortal Domain's Heaven-Swallowing Demon Ancestor. That was a ruthless figure of the demonic path with superb cultivation. He had even killed several Supremes of the same realm with the God-Swallowing Demonic Art in his hands. One must know that it was not so simple for an unparalleled Supreme expert to fall. From this, one could see how domineering the God-Swallowing Demonic Art was. Jun Xiaoyao also had a trace of interest in this God-Swallowing Demonic Art. In addition, Jun Xiaoyao was also interested in the Heaven-Defying Son of the Netherworld Continent. "Logically speaking, that Heaven-Defying Son should be that Yan Fei from the Battle Demon Hall, yet he died." Jun Xiaoyao was also pondering this question. Generally speaking, a Heaven-Defying Son, who gathered the fortune of an entire realm, would absolutely not die so easily. As for the likes of Lin Feng, Mo Fan, and the Limitless Star Monarch, he could only say it was their bad luck to have met him. Jun Xiaoyao believed that it would absolutely not be so simple for others to deal with a Heaven-Defying Son. "In that case, could it be that someone else obtained the inheritance of the God-Swallowing Demonic Art?" Jun Xiaoyao thought of this. And the person most likely to have obtained the inheritance of the God-Swallowing Demonic Art should be someone close to Yan Fei. "Was the entire Battle Demon Hall wiped out?" Jun Xiaoyao asked. The minor cultivator shook his head and said, "There are still a small number of Battle Demon Hall cultivators who escaped, but it's of no use. The three great sects are hunting them down. I estimate it won't be long before they are all annihilated." The cultivator's words made Gu Yuan clench his fists, a look of struggle in his eyes. He wanted to go help the Battle Demon Hall, but he was afraid of delaying Jun Xiaoyao's business. Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao and the others left. The minor cultivator watched the backs of Jun Xiaoyao and the others as they left, finally breathing a sigh of relief. "My god, the pressure from these Immortal Domain prodigies is too great. But that middle-aged man, why does he look so familiar?" the cultivator wondered. He thought about it carefully. Suddenly, he remembered that a few years ago, he had wanted to join the Battle Demon Hall. Although he didn't succeed in the end, while in the Battle Demon Hall, he had seen the statues of the past generations of Hall Masters. Among them, it seemed there was one who looked extremely similar to that middle-aged man. As the cultivator recalled this, his eyes suddenly widened. "Holy crap, no way! Could that middle-aged man be a Hall Master of the Battle Demon Hall from the distant past?" This cultivator was completely stupefied.
Meanwhile, Jun Xiaoyao and the others, following the direction indicated by the cultivator, soon arrived at the territory of the Battle Demon Hall. As far as the eye could see, the entire Battle Demon Hall had already become a stretch of ruins, with severed limbs and corpses strewn everywhere. Seeing this, Gu Yuan trembled with anger, his eyes spewing flames of fury. This was a faction he had once led, yet now it had been turned into ruins. Ancestor Dongxuan beside him also sighed. If Jun Xiaoyao hadn't gone to the Tianxuan Continent, the Dongxuan Dao Sect would probably have been completely destroyed as well. The rise and fall of a faction was truly insignificant. Only the immortal factions of the Immortal Domain could be immortal and endure for all ages. Gu Yuan took a deep breath, then suddenly knelt on one knee before Jun Xiaoyao and said, "Young Master, this subordinate has an impertinent request." "This subordinate knows that the Young Master has business to attend to, so I dare not hold you back. But I hope the Young Master will permit me to delay on the Netherworld Continent for some time." "After I have handled my affairs, I will immediately go find the Young Master." This man, with a temperament as cold as a demonic god, was now willing to kneel, only asking Jun Xiaoyao to give him some time. From this, one could see that Gu Yuan still had feelings for the Battle Demon Hall. Jun Xiaoyao shook his head and sighed, "Why must you do this? Do I, this Divine Child, look like such an unreasonable person?" "Young Master!" Gu Yuan's expression was one of excitement. Jun Xiaoyao admitted that to his enemies, he was simply a devil. But to his own people, he was still very good. "You don't need to say anything. This Divine Child cannot stand by and watch this kind of thing," Jun Xiaoyao said. But he didn't say the second half of his sentence. How could Jun Xiaoyao miss out on something where there was a potential benefit to be had? He'd be a fool not to take a free advantage! "Thank you, Young Master!" Gu Yuan showed a look of joy and sincerely cupped his hands to Jun Xiaoyao. If before, he was only following Jun Xiaoyao because of the Jun Clan's command, then now, he had truly offered his loyalty to Jun Xiaoyao. "Heh, I'm also very interested in that God-Swallowing Demonic Art. I just hope that Fallen God Scion knows what's good for him and doesn't try to snatch my prey," Jun Xiaoyao smiled. If someone familiar with Jun Xiaoyao saw this smile, they would understand. It meant that Jun Xiaoyao was about to start harvesting again...
