SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Chapter 1141 - 1141 News of the Great Upheaval

The grand banquet lasted a full seven days and seven nights.

During that time, Jun Xiaoyao also got to see many old acquaintances.

He drank some wine as well, without deliberately using his power to expel the effects.

That slight buzz felt pretty good.

From the Emperor's Road, to the Ultimate Ancient Road, to the Primordial Emperor City, to the frontier, and then to the foreign realm.

Along the way, Jun Xiaoyao had always kept his nerves taut, advancing one careful step at a time, going through countless trials.

Now, for once, he had some rare free time, back with his clan, surrounded by beloved women, family, and friends.

Jun Xiaoyao was genuinely relaxed.

When it was time to enjoy himself, he had never been one to shortchange himself.

Just as the banquet was nearing its end.

Yan Rumeng sought out Jun Xiaoyao alone.

In a side hall.

Jun Xiaoyao looked at the woman before him — flawless features, a perfect figure, and a pair of long, snow-white legs.

"What do you want with me?"

Though at the very beginning of their acquaintance, Yan Rumeng and he had clashed.

Back then in the lower realm's ten lands, Yan Rumeng, as the Holy Maiden of the Demon God Palace, had intended to guide the Heavenly Demon Crown Prince to the upper realm, but in the end the Crown Prince was killed by Jun Xiaoyao.

Not only that, Jun Xiaoyao had also grabbed her long legs and asked what her true form was.

But after that initial conflict, the relationship between Yan Rumeng and Jun Xiaoyao had gradually eased.

There was even a hint of something more between them.

On the Ultimate Ancient Road, Yan Rumeng had once accompanied Jun Xiaoyao and walked a stretch of the ancient path together.

She had even promised Jun Xiaoyao that she would join the Jun Emperor Court.

So the two of them got along quite well.

"I heard you're getting engaged?"

Yan Rumeng ran a jade hand through her smooth, silky hair.

Although Jun Xiaoyao hadn't publicly announced the engagement yet.

But if Yan Rumeng wanted to find out, she always could.

"That's right." Jun Xiaoyao gave a slight nod.

The reason he hadn't announced it yet was because the timing hadn't been settled.

He still had to go to the Immortal Academy and to the Void Heaven Realm afterward, so for now he had no time.

Yan Rumeng smiled softly, her snow-white face breathtakingly beautiful, without a single flaw.

"Do you still remember back on the Ultimate Ancient Road, when I told outsiders you were my husband just to shoo away some flies?"

"And you said I was taking advantage of you."

Thinking back on those moments, Yan Rumeng laughed, but her eyes held a quiet, distant look.

Jun Xiaoyao simply stayed silent.

What else could he say?

Watching him stay silent, Yan Rumeng suddenly felt a pang in her heart.

Then, a strange, bewitching light quietly flickered through her eyes.

Suddenly, she moved closer to Jun Xiaoyao, pressing a jade hand against his chest, her red lips parting softly as she breathed out warm, sweet air.

"Xiaoyao, surely you won't only be taking two wives?"

"After all, you are a man without equal in all of history, the supreme being who will one day reign over all under heaven."

"Never mind having a few wives — even filling a harem with three thousand beauties would be perfectly normal for someone like you."

Faced with Yan Rumeng's sudden intimacy, Jun Xiaoyao stepped back.

"You're drunk."

"No, I'm perfectly sober. You still haven't answered my question."

Yan Rumeng pouted coquettishly, exuding the charming, alluring air of a captivating woman.

"I'm barely about to get engaged, and you're already asking me something like this — are you trying to turn me into a scoundrel?" Jun Xiaoyao was at a loss for words.

No matter what, he couldn't possibly propose an engagement one moment and then go fooling around the next.

Wouldn't that be terribly irresponsible to Jiang Shengyi and Jiang Luoli?

"That's fine too — I don't mind being your concubine~" Yan Rumeng smiled seductively, enchanting and captivating.

But Jun Xiaoyao frowned faintly, sensing something was off.

He knew how Yan Rumeng felt about him.

But she was absolutely not a woman who would be this forward and lacking in restraint.

"No, you're not Yan Rumeng!"

Catching the strange light that flashed through Yan Rumeng's eyes, Jun Xiaoyao pushed her away.

"My, what a heartless young man — do you really have no pity for me at all?" Yan Rumeng lowered her eyes and lashes, looking completely innocent.

"I think I know who you are."

Jun Xiaoyao looked at Yan Rumeng and said calmly.

"Oh?" Yan Rumeng's eyes shimmered.

"The Demon God Palace. The Little Demoness." Jun Xiaoyao said it plainly.

Though he had never truly met the Little Demoness in person.

But she had, on several occasions before, possessed Yan Rumeng's body and even crossed hands with him.

And most importantly, this Little Demoness seemed to have quite an appetite for his body.

"My, I didn't expect the Divine Son to still have me on his mind."

Yan Rumeng — or rather, the Little Demoness — smiled brightly, utterly bewitching.

Though she had not appeared in her true form.

But rumor had it she was one of the most beautiful women in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, and the one who controlled the Demon God Palace.

One could say she embodied power, beauty, and strength all in one.

Any man who could earn even a single glance from the Little Demoness would consider it the fortune of three lifetimes.

But Jun Xiaoyao right now was frowning.

He found the Little Demoness to be a nuisance.

"Senior has possessed Yan Rumeng's body to come here — what is the purpose?" Jun Xiaoyao's tone turned cool.

So what if she was the Little Demoness?

In Jun Xiaoyao's eyes now, the Demon God Palace was nothing particularly remarkable.

"Still calling me 'Senior' — that makes me sound so old. Why not call me Yaoyao instead?" The Little Demoness kept smiling seductively.

"Just say what you came to say. You didn't really come just to reminisce, did you?" Jun Xiaoyao said flatly.

The Little Demoness smiled and said, "You should know that the true great calamity has not yet ended. Before long, the immortal domain will be thrown into great turmoil again."

Her words made Jun Xiaoyao's expression tighten.

He thought again of that fragment of a future he had glimpsed.

"So, you know some inside information?" Jun Xiaoyao looked directly at the Little Demoness.

"You have to call me Yaoyao." The Little Demoness said with a pout.

"Alright, Yaoyao, what do you know." Jun Xiaoyao held his patience and said.

He felt that the Little Demoness might truly know something about the situation.

He had even begun to speculate about her true identity and origins.

"Xiaoyao has always been sharp — you must be trying to figure out who I really am right now."

"It's alright, I can tell you directly: I am connected to what lies above the Nine Heavens."

The Little Demoness's words made Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flash.

Above the Nine Heavens!

The Guixu Realm!

And the mysterious Forbidden Zone of Life was located above the Nine Heavens.

Ji Daoyi, the inheritor of the Human Immortal physique from the Human Immortal Sect, had also come from a forbidden clan above the Nine Heavens.

It could be said that it was an incomparably mysterious and unfathomably deep region.

Separate from the immortal domain, it formed its own forbidden zone beyond the heavens.

And the Little Demoness was actually connected to the Nine Heavens Guixu.

Could she be linked to certain forbidden clans, or even to the Forbidden Zone of Life?

"My, is Xiaoyao surprised?" The Little Demoness smiled radiantly.

"So why have you come — what are you trying to tell me?" Jun Xiaoyao said.

"Simple. If Xiaoyao is willing to be with me, I can help you safely weather this coming turmoil." The Little Demoness said.

Her words made Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flicker.

In other words, was this coming turmoil originating from above the Nine Heavens Guixu?

And what was the cause of it?

Could there be a shadowy mastermind behind it all, just like with the Ultimate Calamity?

Moreover, from the Little Demoness's words, she could keep Jun Xiaoyao and even the Jun clan safe — which was enough to show that her ties to certain forces above the Nine Heavens ran very deep.

She might even be a member of one of those forces herself.

In this moment, the doubts in Jun Xiaoyao's heart only grew deeper.
