Chapter 870: Chapter 868: Xuan Yue’s Heavy Past, I, Jun Xiaoyao, Am No One’s Substitute, Exotic Realm Army Assembles
Once, in a distant Exotic Realm.
There was a remote small country.
In the family of this small country, there was a pair of siblings.
Both of them had blood tear moles at the corners of their eyes.
In this small country, blood tear moles were considered ominous signs, symbols of calamity.
Therefore, they were bullied from a young age.
Even their parents were powerless.
The prejudice in people’s hearts is a mountain that cannot be moved, no matter how hard one tries.
Yet, in such a harsh environment, the brother always protected his sister.
They were each other’s only family.
Eventually, unable to bear the bullying and beatings, the siblings fled their family.
They wandered around.
In the Exotic Realm, the law of survival of the fittest, the strong being revered, is vividly embodied.
It’s hard to imagine how the siblings survived.
Later, they were captured by the Underground Blood Arena and became slaves.
The siblings were separated and underwent brutal training individually.
Xuan Yue was told that if she could win a hundred matches in the Underground Blood Arena.
She would regain her freedom and have the leverage to make demands, along with substantial rewards.
From that day on, no matter how cruel the training was, Xuan Yue persisted.
Because she held a belief, to win a hundred matches and then leave with her brother.
She went through many battles, and each time she stepped onto the Blood Arena, both participants wore masks.
They were like beasts tearing at each other in a cage, becoming entertainment and amusement.
Finally, having won ninety-nine matches, Xuan Yue faced her last match.
If she could win this one match, she would regain freedom and leave with her brother.
She stepped onto the Blood Arena, with only one thought in her mind: to kill her opponent and win the freedom to leave with her brother.
However, to Xuan Yue’s surprise.
Her opponent for the hundredth match was much weaker than expected.
When she plunged the dagger into that person’s chest, she was ecstatic.
Yet, a somewhat familiar cough rendered Xuan Yue numb.
She trembled as she removed the mask from that person’s face.
A familiar handsome face came into view.
"Cough cough... Yue’er, you’ve become so strong, now brother can be at ease..."
"From now on, you can take care of yourself..."
Her opponent for the hundredth match was her brother.
Her brother had conceded to her, not retaliating at all, which allowed Xuan Yue to easily plunge the dagger into his chest.
She had killed her own brother with her own hands!
Killed her only family!
Perhaps from that moment on.
Xuan Yue’s heart had already died.
She didn’t even know what she did.
Only when she regained consciousness, the entire Underground Blood Arena was filled with dead bodies.
Only broken corpses remained.
Blood had submerged her eyes, dyeing her black hair red.
Accentuating the blood tear mole at the corner of her eye, making it even more bewitching.
"Poor soul..."
A woman wearing a mask, with a seductive figure, manifested.
"Would you like to join the Other Shore Organization? Maybe there’s a way for your brother to reincarnate." The woman proposed.
Later, Xuan Yue joined the Other Shore Organization.
And became the head of the Thirteen Great Thieves, the Immortal Slayer Thief.
The story is finished.
After listening to this story, Jun Xiaoyao’s face remained calm.
He finally understood why Xuan Yue had such a strange reaction towards him.
Apparently, she saw the shadow of her brother in him.
This inevitably reminded Jun Xiaoyao of the Ghost-faced Woman.
The Other Shore Organization, Other Shore Emperor Race, Ghost-faced Woman, Other Shore Flower.
What connections do these clues have?
What relationship does the Exotic Realm Other Shore Race have with that Ghost-faced Woman from the Bronze Immortal Hall?
For a moment, Jun Xiaoyao had many puzzles in his heart.
He felt that the only way to solve these mysteries.
Was to go to the Exotic Realm and seek the truth from the Other Shore Race.
But such endeavors are rarely done by anyone.
After all, the Exotic Realm is too dangerous, and creatures from the Immortal Realm find it hard to hide their aura.
It can be said to be extremely dangerous.
"So, you saw your brother’s shadow in me?" Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.
Xuan Yue was silent, obviously, that was the answer.
Jun Xiaoyao sneered: "Then you might be disappointed. Your story may be moving, but I, Jun Xiaoyao, am not anyone’s substitute."
Whether it was that mysterious Ghost-faced Woman who walked through ancient history.
Or the Xuan Yue in front of him.
It was as if both considered him to be someone’s substitute.
But he was only Jun Xiaoyao and would not be anyone else nor become anyone else.
"I know." Xuan Yue said.
She hadn’t expected Jun Xiaoyao’s attitude towards her to change.
"So, you can choose to leave the Divine Ruins World." Xuan Yue said.
Such betrayal, she was betraying the organization, betraying the Exotic Realm.
But internally, she was struggling, unable to harm Jun Xiaoyao again.
Wouldn’t that mean killing her "brother" for the second time?
"Then don’t worry about it. In light of your tip, this time I, the Divine Son, will let you go."
"But next time... you and I will face each other in life and death." Jun Xiaoyao’s tone was cold, carrying a murderous intent.
"Why..." Xuan Yue’s grip on the Scythe of Death tightened.
"Because you hurt Sister Shengyi and tried to steal her Innate Dao Embryo, nearly causing her to perish." Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes were incredibly cold.
At that time on the Emperor Burial Star, if he hadn’t arrived in time.
Jun Xiaoyao might have truly killed Jiang Shengyi and refined her Innate Dao Embryo.
Although Xuan Yue’s fate was truly tragic and elicited sympathy.
That was not a reason for Jun Xiaoyao to let her go.
"That woman again..." Xuan Yue’s jade hand clenched tightly, her nails piercing her palm, and wisps of blood oozing.
For some reason, she felt uncomfortable.
It was as if something most precious in her heart had been taken away by another woman.
"Go, next time we meet, I won’t hold back."
Jun Xiaoyao slightly shook his head and turned to leave.
Looking at Jun Xiaoyao’s departing figure, Xuan Yue bit her lip.
She felt her cheeks were somewhat cool and wet.
Was she crying?
How long had it been?
She thought she had forgotten how to cry.
But why did her already dead heart still sting faintly?
...
The matter with Xuan Yue was just an interlude.
Jun Xiaoyao’s goal would not be swayed by anyone.
Just as Jun Xiaoyao headed toward the Cyan Emperor Star.
In another Star Domain.
An immense Exotic Realm army gathered there.
Among them, the teams from the Exotic Realm Royal Family numbered no less than dozens.
In addition to them, there were several most powerful Quasi-Emperor Races.
In the void, a woman dressed in a long skirt with water sleeves, her skin surpassing snow and frost, her face stunningly beautiful, her grace unparalleled appeared.
It was Tushan Xiaoxiao.
While on the other side, two figures also appeared.
One was clad in a blood-colored robe, with a pair of Blood Phoenix Wings on their back.
The other bore Dark Dragon Horns on their head, with nine Demon Eyes on their face, looking exceedingly eerie.
"Fallen Demon Emperor Race, Phoenix Demon Heaven, Sinful Dragon Lineage, Nine-eyed Evil Dragon."
Tushan Xiaoxiao looked at these two, slightly surprised they had come as well.
The Fallen Demon Phoenix Race and Sinful Dragon Lineage were famous Quasi-Emperor Races in the Exotic Realm.
These two Quasi-Emperor Race Celestial Prides were extremely powerful, almost on par with the Celestial Prides of the Di Race.
"I didn’t expect the esteemed Third Princess from the Tushan Royal Family to appear." Phoenix Demon Heaven glanced at Tushan Xiaoxiao, eyes glimmering.
"This time, the Immortal Realm has produced a madman who killed Chi Lingkong from the Quasi-Emperor Race of my realm, the Chi Xiao Race. I’m eager to meet that individual."
The Sinful Dragon Lineage’s Nine-eyed Evil Dragon said coldly.
The killing of an Exotic Realm Quasi-Emperor Race Celestial Pride was undoubtedly a disgrace that needed to be washed away.
"Rest assured, there will be opportunities then." Tushan Xiaoxiao said, though her eyes flickered.
She had her own plans.
And just then, powerful auras appeared in the distance again.
"Oh, the Immortal Emperor Race has come too?" Tushan Xiaoxiao was surprised.
