Seeing that Jun Xiaoyao could casually transfer Lu Xingling and others to other passes, everyone present could only sigh.
This was the descendant of a powerful Gatekeepers.
The feeling of holding power was truly good.
"Many thanks, Young Lord!" Lu Xingling bowed.
"No need. Oh, and I'll give you all the merit I've earned."
"Before you leave, you can exchange for some Divine Abilities, Magic Treasures, and the like in the Merit Hall."
"The Merit Hall should also have some notes on battle array masters; you can exchange for them and study them. Your talent as a battle array master is very important," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Lu Xingling was stunned.
Jun Xiaoyao actually wanted to give all his merit to their Seventy-Two Squad!
"I know what you want to say. There's no need to refuse. Since you've become my followers, you are my people."
"Isn't it natural to be good to your own?" Jun Xiaoyao smiled.
Lu Xingling nodded slightly.
There was no need for pleasantries.
She would engrave this kindness in her heart.
The other members of the Seventy-Two Squad also solemnly clasped their hands towards Jun Xiaoyao.
This gratitude was unspoken.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao's actions, all the Town Boundary Army soldiers were astonished.
Jun Xiaoyao actually gave all the merit he received to Lu Xingling and the Seventy-Two Squad.
One must know, among that merit, there were sixth-class merit and fifth-class merit!
Ordinary Town Boundary Army Cultivators might not obtain such a thing in their entire lives!
One could only say that Jun Xiaoyao's generosity was astonishing.
Many people were envious and jealous of Lu Xingling and the Seventy-Two Squad.
Actually, it was very troublesome for them to transfer to other passes originally.
The Town Boundary Army garrisons of the various major passes could not be easily transferred.
But for Jun Xiaoyao, wasn't it just a matter of a single sentence?
Who would dare to stop him?
Even the commander of the Town Boundary Army could only smile bitterly.
Originally, the Seventy-Two Squad was just cannon fodder; it made no difference whether they existed or not.
However, since they could be favored by Jun Xiaoyao, that meant Lu Xingling would have a brilliant future.
"Will our East Ridge Pass really lose a future Big Shot?" a Town Boundary Army commander murmured to himself.
He had a premonition that their East Ridge Pass had lost a great talent!
Lu Xingling and the others withdrew to exchange for what they needed at the Merit Hall.
They didn't say any words of thanks.
As long as they kept Jun Xiaoyao's kindness in their hearts and tried their best to repay it, that was enough.
Lu Xingling's matter was settled.
But Jun Xiaoyao's matter was not over yet.
Because he was waiting for the person who truly caused the conflict.
It wasn't the Violet Flame Demon Lord, but the Hongchen Emperor Son!
To be precise, the Hongchen Emperor Son and the Demon Clan Four Lords were not on the same Rank.
Their identities alone were different.
The Demon Clan Four Lords were merely Named Disciples of the Snow Moon Demon Emperor, simply a nominal title, and had no actual master-disciple relationship with the Snow Moon Demon Emperor.
However, the Hongchen Emperor Son was a genuine descendant of the Gatekeepers, an Emperor's descendant.
Moreover, in terms of strength and Realm, the Hongchen Emperor Son was also a veteran Prohibition-breaking Prodigy in the Boundary Sea.
Although the Demon Clan Four Lords were not weak, they were still far from the Prohibition-breaking Realm.
The one who wanted to test Jun Xiaoyao was not the Violet Flame Demon Lord, but the Hongchen Emperor Son.
The reason Jun Xiaoyao hadn't killed the Violet Flame Demon Lord yet was because he wanted to see if the Hongchen Emperor Son would dare to stand up for him.
"Eh, Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao hasn't released the Violet Flame Demon Lord, but he hasn't killed him either. What's going on?"
"I heard Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao imply earlier that the Violet Flame Demon Lord was also instigated by someone."
"Hiss, with the Violet Flame Demon Lord's identity and status, who in East Ridge Pass could persuade him to act?"
"Who says it can only be within East Ridge Pass..."
Some Prodigies and Town Boundary Army Cultivators communicated with their Divine Thought.
They felt that this storm was not over yet.
However, who could possibly instigate the Violet Flame Demon Lord to provoke Jun Xiaoyao?
And who had that ability?
Not long after, they found out the answer.
A few days later, within East Ridge Pass, a teleportation array suddenly glowed with dazzling divine light.
A spatial passage appeared.
Nine divine birds, containing a trace of Divine Phoenix Bloodline, pulled a magnificent carriage, flying through the Void Realm.
Beside the carriage, there were also sixteen beautiful maidservants accompanying it.
What was astonishing was that those maidservants were all Prodigies from major powers and ancient clans.
This display could be said to be quite grand.
"That looks like the Nine Phoenix Carriage, isn't that the mount of that Big Shot?"
"That's right, it seems it really is that Big Shot."
Some Gatekeeperss showed surprise when they saw the Nine Phoenix Carriage.
Before long, the Nine Phoenix Carriage, accompanied by sixteen maidservants, arrived at the vast plaza.
Jun Xiaoyao, who was sitting cross-legged in the Void Realm, calmly raised his eyes to look.
"That's the Nine Phoenix Carriage, the mount of the Hongchen Great Emperor's son!"
"Could it be that the one who instigated the Violet Flame Demon Lord is the Hongchen Emperor Son?"
"What conflict do the Hongchen Emperor Son and the Yun Clan Young Master have?"
"This is getting interesting..."
Seeing that the arrival was the Hongchen Emperor Son, the entire audience erupted in exclamations of surprise.
The Hongchen Emperor Son had a great reputation in the Three Emperors Barrier.
After all, he was the Gatekeepers's biological son, and his identity was self-evident.
But if it were just his identity, the Hongchen Emperor Son wouldn't have such a reputation.
In fact, although the Hongchen Emperor Son also had a reputation for being promiscuous, and indulging in pleasures, his strength was extremely formidable.
He even Cultivated his father's core Legacy, the Mortal World Upside-Down Dream Emperor Scripture.
Even looking across the Boundary Sea, he was a top-tier figure.
Furthermore, he also controlled the Red Dust Merchant Guild and was its helmsman.
Although the Red Dust Merchant Guild could not compare to some old-established powers, it was very profitable, extremely profitable.
It was a very wealthy power.
Therefore, under all these circumstances, the Hongchen Emperor Son's prestige was also extremely flourishing.
Such a figure was incomparable to the Violet Flame Demon Lord.
In fact, even all four Demon Clan Four Lords combined could not match the Hongchen Emperor Son's strength and prestige.
A conflict between such a figure and Jun Xiaoyao would undoubtedly attract a lot of attention.
Meanwhile, Li Feiyan's beautiful face changed slightly.
Only she knew where the conflict between Jun Xiaoyao and the Hongchen Emperor Son originated.
She also hadn't expected the Hongchen Emperor Son to come in person.
"So you've finally arrived? This Young Lord thought you'd always be a rat in a gutter," Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.
Hearing this comparison, everyone present was speechless.
Presumably, only Jun Xiaoyao would dare to compare the Hongchen Emperor Son to a rat in a gutter.
From within the Nine Phoenix Carriage, a cold chuckle came.
"This Emperor Son has indeed witnessed the Yun Clan Young Master's arrogance. Not only do you suppress this Emperor Son's good friend, the Violet Flame Demon Lord, but you also killed the Golden Eye Demon Lord."
"Your father shouldn't be as overbearing as you, should he?"
As the words fell, the Nine Phoenix Carriage was opened.
A handsome man, dressed in luxurious red robes with an extraordinary demeanor, leisurely emerged.
His skin was fair, his figure tall and straight, and there was a rhombus-shaped Emperor pattern between his brows.
His entire being exuded an extremely extraordinary aura.
Around him, mist billowed, and the Qi of the Mortal World permeated, as if all phenomena of sentient beings were manifesting, profoundly mysterious.
His temperament was even more noble and transcendent, far beyond what the Demon Clan Four Lords and others could compare to.
The Hongchen Emperor Son looked at Jun Xiaoyao.
As two Big Shots of the younger generation faced each other, the oppressive feeling seemed to make heaven and earth freeze!
