Chapter 140 - 140: A Visit from the Young Master of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, the Martial Combat Meet, Plans to Cultivate Followers

However, the truth was indeed so; Jun Xiaoyao did not hold the Saintly Spirit Academy in any regard.

Let alone these ordinary disciples, even those Saint Children and Saintesses on the same level as Ji Xuan, if they dared to provoke Jun Xiaoyao...

He would make them experience the same suffering as Ji Xuan.

Watching the departing figures of Jun Xiaoyao and his group, the cultivators from all directions in the city gulped hard.

"As expected of the Jun Family's Divine Child, his dominance is exceptional; he doesn't care about the Saintly Spirit Academy at all."

"Yeah, even if those Saint Children and Saintesses from the academy came, they probably wouldn't get off easy."

Some people looked at the academy disciples癱倒 on the ground, bleeding from their seven orifices, and shook their heads.

This group of academy disciples was too pathetic; they couldn't even withstand a single roar from his mount.

Although that mount was a top-tier Primordial King Clan's Nine-Headed Lion.

As for those female academy disciples, they completely ignored their battered male compatriots, their eyes sparkling like stars as they watched Jun Xiaoyao leave.

Jun Xiaoyao and his group arrived at a magnificent inn to rest.

However, not long after, Jun Linglong came forward to report, "Young Master, the Young Master of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce wishes to see you."

"The Young Master of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce?" Jun Xiaoyao thought for a moment.

He seemed to have seen this person before at the Zither Competition of the Panwu Divine Dynasty. Like that Third Prince, he was also a suitor of the Zither Maiden.

However, Jun Xiaoyao didn't remember such minor characters very clearly.

"Let him in," Jun Xiaoyao said.

Jun Linglong nodded. A moment later.

A handsome young nobleman came forward and respectfully bowed to Jun Xiaoyao.

"Qian Duo of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, greets the Divine Child."

"This Divine Child remembers you. I believe we met at the Zither Competition. You were a suitor of the Zither Maiden," Jun Xiaoyao said.

"I didn't expect the Divine Child to still remember me; it's truly an honor. However, I am no longer a suitor of the Zither Maiden," Qian Duo gave a slightly bitter smile.

After witnessing someone as outstanding as Jun Xiaoyao, how could the Zither Maiden possibly still fancy him?

"What is your purpose in coming here?" Jun Xiaoyao sipped his tea.

"I heard from the shopkeeper that the Divine Child was resting at an inn under our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, so I rushed over immediately," Qian Duo said.

"So this inn is an enterprise of your Wanbao Chamber of Commerce," Jun Xiaoyao realized.

"Divine Child, it's like this: before the Heavenly Dao Tower opens, our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce will host a Martial Combat Meet. Some high-quality slaves will fight to the death, and then bets will be placed."

"I see that the Divine Child seems to need Immortal Sources. This would be a good opportunity to earn them," Qian Duo said.

"I see," Jun Xiaoyao nodded.

He also understood that the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce wanted to ride the wave of popularity from the Heavenly Dao Tower's opening to make some money.

However, Qian Duo was right; he indeed needed Immortal Sources.

Currently, Jun Xiaoyao only had fifty Immortal Sources left on him, just in case.

"And I've heard that the Divine Child has a penchant for taking in servants. Perhaps there will be some who catch the Divine Child's eye then," Qian Duo said with a fawning smile.

"Hmm? Does this Divine Child have such a peculiar hobby?" Jun Xiaoyao turned his head to look at Jun Linglong.

Jun Linglong gave Jun Xiaoyao a charming, sidelong glance.

Don't you have an inkling yourself whether you have this hobby or not?

"Ahem... When is it?" Jun Xiaoyao coughed dryly, his face not blushing, his heart not skipping a beat.

"Tomorrow night. And at that time, there will also be slaves from other Immortal Domains appearing," Qian Duo said.

"From other Immortal Domains." Jun Xiaoyao's eyes lit up slightly.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Domain was divided into Nine Heavens, and the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain was just one of them.

Jun Xiaoyao was somewhat interested in slaves from other Immortal Domains.

"I will go," Jun Xiaoyao said.

"Then I shall await the Divine Child's grand arrival." Qian Duo showed a joyful expression.

His father, the President of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, had warned him to try his best to establish connections with the Jun Family's Divine Child.

Even just becoming a familiar face would bring endless benefits in the future.

Qian Duo left, satisfied.

After he left, Jun Linglong smiled faintly and said, "That Young Master of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce wants to curry favor with you, Young Master."

"It doesn't matter, as long as it benefits me," Jun Xiaoyao didn't care.

Meanwhile, at the same time.

A group of academy disciples, their faces smeared with blood, looking utterly battered, knelt before three individuals, crying and complaining.

They were the academy's two Saint Children and one Saintess.

"Lord Saint Child, you must avenge us! That Jun Family Divine Child is too arrogant; he doesn't regard our Saintly Spirit Academy at all!" an academy disciple wailed, a handful of snot and tears.

This time, these academy disciples had thoroughly lost face.

"Fools. No matter who Jun Xiaoyao is, he's not someone you can provoke," the young man in the black and white Daoist robe said coldly.

"I thought... that Jun Family Divine Child would be wary of our Saintly Spirit Academy, so..." the academy disciple mumbled, his voice growing softer.

"Alright, you brought this upon yourselves. Even we have to be extremely cautious when dealing with Jun Xiaoyao," the luxuriously dressed young man shook his head.

As for the Saintess, Hua Xiqing, she blinked her beautiful eyes, growing even more curious about Jun Xiaoyao.

"We'll talk about this later. Tomorrow night, we will attend the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce's Martial Combat Meet. As for Jun Xiaoyao, we'll meet him when the Heavenly Dao Tower opens," the young man in the black and white Daoist robe said.

Previously, the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce had also sent a steward to invite them to the Martial Combat Meet.

...

Soon, a day passed.

In the eastern district of Saintly Spirit City, there was a magnificent palace.

Under Qian Duo's guidance, Jun Xiaoyao arrived at this place.

Only Jun Linglong accompanied him.

"Divine Child, please proceed to the VIP private room." Qian Duo personally led Jun Xiaoyao into a VIP room.

From here, one could overlook the entire Martial Combat Meet platform.

"I wonder if there will be any slaves tonight who can catch my eye," Jun Xiaoyao murmured.

He thought about it; so far, it seemed he didn't really have a true follower.

Jun Linglong, strictly speaking, was his maidservant.

Jun Zhangjian, Jun Xuehuang, and Jun Wanjie were all Jun Family Sequences; strictly speaking, they couldn't entirely be considered his followers either.

Wu Mingyue was more like a chess piece.

As for Bai Yu'er, she was purely a servant.

"My father has the God King's Eight Legions, among whom there are outstanding individuals like Ah Jiu. I should also consider truly finding a batch of loyal followers," Jun Xiaoyao thought.

At this moment, a commotion suddenly erupted in the venue.

"The Eldest Princess of the Panwu Divine Dynasty has arrived!"

"The two Saint Children and one Saintess of the Saintly Spirit Academy are also here."

"Holy crap, that's the Little Peng King with Golden Wings from Garuda Sacred Mountain!"

"The Star Monarch Physique of the Ye Family, Ye Xingyun, is here too."

"My goodness, they're all big shots..."

In the venue, many cultivators were astonished.

These prodigies, rarely seen on ordinary days, were now appearing one after another.

"I am the Yin-Yang Holy Son of the Yin-Yang Cult, and also a Saint Child of the Saintly Spirit Academy. It is truly fortunate to meet the Eldest Princess today," said the young man in the black and white Daoist robe.

As a Saint Child revered by two major factions, the Yin-Yang Holy Son's tone carried a faint trace of confidence.

However...

The great beauty before him, with "autumn waters for spirit and jade for bones," whose face was as beautiful as a dream or an illusion, didn't even glance at him. Her expression was ice-cold as she directly walked past him.

The Yin-Yang Holy Son's face stiffened, feeling somewhat awkward.

Beside him, Hua Xiqing covered her mouth and chuckled, "She is, after all, the Eldest Princess of an immortal divine dynasty. Her status is lofty; it's normal for her not to acknowledge you."

"True, I was being presumptuous," the Yin-Yang Holy Son smiled, unconcerned.

Princesses of immortal factions, it was normal for them to have high standards and cold, arrogant personalities.

Over here, after inquiring with Qian Duo, Wu Mingyue walked straight into a VIP private room.

When she saw that figure sitting casually on the armchair, dressed in long white robes, as handsome as an immortal...

She could no longer hold back and collapsed by Jun Xiaoyao's legs.

Like a cat that had been abandoned for a long time, she lifted a heart-stirringly beautiful face and said, "Master, Mingyue has come to see you..."
