Chapter 48

“Hmm?”

Jun Linglong slightly knitted her gorgeous eyebrows together as she looked over with her beautiful eyes.

After all, she was the daughter of the Jun Family. Although she wasn’t as famous as Jun Xiaoyao and the ten sequences, one could still consider her as slightly famous.

Rarely anyone was bold enough to target her.

The young figure covered in a black cloud of mist was precisely Jun Wanjie’s follower and the genius of the Black Cloud Clan, Hei Tu.

“Are you… from the Black Cloud Clan?” Jun Linglong frowned.

With the Heart of Qiqiao Linglong, she was knowledgeable enough to discern him as one of the Black Cloud Clan immediately.

However, she didn’t know that Hei Tu was Jun Wanjie’s follower.

After all, Jun Linglong didn’t care much about Jun Wanjie.

“I’ll be having this Tranquil Spirit Tea. Any objections?” Hei Tu glanced at Jun Linglong from top to bottom with a hint of provocation.

Jun Linglong’s beautiful eyes shimmered in luster.

She could tell that this was no coincidence.

This was the genius of the Black Cloud Clan intentionally provoking her.

“Do you know who I am?” Jun Linglong said faintly, exuding a cold and elegant air about her.

Only before Jun Xiaoyao would she become an obedient and caring maid.

Before anybody else, however, she was the noble daughter of the Jun Family; she refused to be seen as less important than that.

“Well, I’m Lord Wanjie’s follower. How would I not know who you are, Miss Linglong?” Hei Tu apathetically curled his lips into a smile.

“I see.” Upon hearing what he said, Jun Linglong immediately understood what was going on.

No wonder this genius of the Black Cloud Clan was fearless enough to even be bold enough to provoke her.

It turned out that behind him was Sequence Five, Jun Wanjie.

In that case, it made sense for Hei Tu to not have any reason to fear her.

“Lord Divine Child wants this tea. Do you dare to interfere?” Jun Linglong’s tone was solemn.

“My apologies, but Lord Wanjie wants the tea as well. Oh, and don’t use the Divine Child as a shield. Lord Wanjie is by no means any inferior to him!” Hei Tu said coldly.

At that moment, a ray of light from a sword abruptly fell towards Hei Tu in the distance.

At the same time, an apathetic and chilling voice rang out. “Where did this ignorant fool come from? I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of Jun Wanjie!”

Feeling the fluctuation from that ray of sword light, Hei Tu’s expression immediately changed.

His body suddenly evaporated into a cloud of black mist.

The ray of sword light pierced through the black mist and blasted onto the ground.

Hei Tu once again condensed into human form, but his face seemed slightly pale.

Vaporizing was an ability that can only be inherited by members of the Black Cloud Clan.

Every time it was cast, however, it would consume a lot of the user’s mana.

A figure holding a sword in his arms appeared nearby. That person was Sequence Ten, Jun Zhangjian.

Previously, he wanted to become Jun Xiaoyao’s follower but was rejected by the divine child.

It was indeed inappropriate for a sequence to become a follower.

Although he was turned down by Jun Xiaoyao, Jun Zhangjian had long assumed the mentality of a follower.

He just wasn’t officially known as one.

“Sequence Ten, Jun Zhangjian, why have you…” Hei Tu’s face went pale, with fear growing in his eyes.

If it was just Jun Linglong, he naturally wouldn’t have feared her.

Despite Jun Linglong being a noble daughter of the Jun family, she wasn’t on the same level as the ten sequences.

Jun Zhangjian, however, was a real sequence.

Although his position and power were no higher than that of Jun Wanjie, a sequence was still a sequence. They must never be humiliated!

Hei Tu was doubtful. Why did Jun Zhangjian seem more like a follower of Jun Xiaoyao?

“What made you so bold as to provoke the people around the Divine Child? Is it Jun Wanjie?” Jun Zhangjian castigated coldly.

Hei Tu’s complexion of his face fluctuated between being green and white.

He still somewhat feared for Jun Zhangjian.

At that moment, a voice as cold as ice rang out from afar.

“Jun Zhangjian, you are one of the sequences, and yet you are willing to become Jun Xiaoyao’s follower. What charm does he have to make all of you willingly submit to him?”

When he heard this voice, Jun Zhangjian’s expression slightly changed.

That was Jun Wanjie’s voice.

It was just as he expected.

A figure that enveloped the divine light of thunder drifted over from a distance. It was Jun Wanjie.

His black hair fluttered in the wind, while his eyes were shooting out a volley of electricity. With Lightning runes all over his body, he looked like a god of thunder.

“Is that… the Jun Family Sequence Five, Jun Wanjie?”

“What’s going on? Is conflict within the Jun family about to arise?”

“That guy over there seems to be Jun Zhangjian, Sequence Ten of the Jun Family. Miss Linglong is over there as well.”

“Is the Jun Family going to fight amongst themselves before the Supreme Treasure of Yuantian even comes into existence?”

The scene caught the attention of many people.

“What are you going to do, Jun Wanjie?”

Jun Zhangjian knitted his eyebrows at the sight of Jun Wanjie’s explosive aura.

Jun Wanjie’s temper was notoriously surly and domineering.

He had taught countless lessons to both outsiders and members of the Jun family.

“To think a sequence of the Jun Family would become a follower… If you’re willing to do so, then lay down your title as a sequence!”

As soon as Jun Wanjie finished speaking, he attacked.

As he raised his hand, the divine light of thunder manifested.

He cultivated in the Law of Supremacy, the Heavenly Method for Surviving Calamities; he had awakened the Combat Body of Thunder Calamity.

Among the 3000 body types, it was ranked in the top 300.

What’s more, the Combat Body of Thunder Calamity was potent in attack power and had amazing lethality, far exceeding Ye Xingyun’s Kingly Body of Stars.

The ground began to rumble!

Jun Wanjie pushed his palm outward. The billowing thunder turned into a torrent that struck Jun Zhangjian and Jun Linglong.

“This is bad!”

Jun Zhangjian hurriedly waved his sword. Dazzling sword light dispersed.

Likewise, Jun Linglong attacked.

Even with the two of them counter-attacking at the same time, it was still difficult for them to ward off Jun Wanjie’s technique.

Following a roar, both Jun Zhanjian and Jun Linglong were shocked and pushed backward one after another.

Jun Zhangjian was still fine upon the attack. He was Sequence Ten, after all. Though his powers were inferior to Jun Wanjie, he wasn’t that far behind.

However, the base of Jun Linglong’s was slightly weaker. After taking several dozens of steps back, her fair face turned slightly pale. Marks of blood appeared on the corner of her lips.

Jun Wanjie glanced at them and said with an indifferent expression, “Consider what happened today as a warning. Tell Jun Xiaoyao to lay low in the future.”

Once he finished speaking, Jun Wanjie turned around and left.

Regardless, Jun Zhanjian and Jun Linglong were both members of the Jun family. Giving them a tiny lesson to suppress Jun Xiaoyao’s arrogance would do to trick.

Jun Wanjie wasn’t thinking about genuinely hurting them, either.

“Your power truly is beyond all, my Lord!”

Admiration grew in Hei Tu’s eyes at the sight of Jun Wanjie repelling Jun Zhanjian and Jun Linglong with a raise of his hand.

He turned to look at Jun Linglong with the corner of his mouth stirred up to a playful grin, “Tell your master that mine is the true pillar of hope for the Jun Family’s younger generation!”

Once he finished speaking, Hei Tu departed alongside Jun Wanjie.

At that moment, Jun Linglong spurted another tiny mouthful of blood.

“Your injuries look serious,” said Jun Zhangjian with helplessness in his tone.

Compared to Jun Wanjie, he was a whole level below him.

“I’m alright. I still have to buy tea for the young master.” Not forgetting what she set out to do, Jun Linglong bought the Tranquil Spirit Tea for Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Zhanjian sighed slightly as he looked at her.

Even now, her mind was still focused on Jun Xiaoyao.

However, Jun Zhangjian also knew that Jun Xiaoyao was by no means someone who would restrain his anger or refrain from speaking up.

As a consequence of offending someone close to Jun Xiaoyaou, Jun Wanjie would face great misfortune in the coming days.
