Villain: Starting with a Flawless Body, Born Invincible

116: Renew the covenant, I, Lord Lingxiao, hereby make a covenantIt turns out that the so-called ’merit overshadowing the master’ was also half-true and half-false. If one was truly powerful, why would one fear merit overshadowing the master?

The main reason was that after Qilin Child, who once commanded the Ten Thousand Beasts, died, the treatment of the Ten Thousand Beasts by the Jun Family had already changed.

From equality, it gradually turned into subservience. The young of the Ten Thousand Beasts should have been equal to the Jun Family Disciples, but they slowly became mounts and similar things, clearly violating the original alliance.

However, the upper echelons of the Jun Family always stood by, watching with cold eyes, doing nothing.

They would be the first to fight, and then their children would be slaves and servants in the Jun Family. Who could tolerate that?

So, the Ten Thousand Beasts began to form groups and clans to resist.

But this only made the contradiction between them more irreconcilable. Although it was initially said to be all-encompassing, in the end, they were not treated as Jun Family members, but as dependents, as lackeys.

It was not that the Jun Family moved to the Ten Directions Immortal Court to abandon the Ten Thousand Beasts, but rather that the Ten Thousand Beasts seized this opportunity to leave the Jun Family.

After all, the Jun Family at that time was already at its peak, and even a True Dragon as powerful as him could only hide and survive until now.

Jun Lingxiao listened carefully until he understood the whole story, then nodded heavily.

”So, it was my Jun Family that betrayed trust first.”

”Indeed, human young are young, and True Dragon young are also young. Everyone is equal. No one is born to be a mount or a hound, and no parent would want to see that happen.”

Jun Lingxiao said faintly, his summary was very thorough, making everyone in the dark light up, never expecting him to say such a thing.

”Little one, your words make me curious. Aren’t you on the Jun Family’s side?”

The Dragon Chief in the middle continued, it sounded as if Jun Lingxiao had no awareness of being a Jun Family member, and even seemed to be on their side?

”I don’t look at positions, only at right and wrong. In this matter, the Jun Family was wrong.”

”But, I can also understand the difficulties. With the death of Qilin Child, the Jun Family was without a leader. The more powerful a Family, the more problems will arise. During the critical period of the Ten Chiefs’ struggle, the Jun Family could not afford internal strife, so they could only throw this contradiction elsewhere, even to allies. It was a simple and crude method.”

Jun Lingxiao said, looking fearlessly at the many gazes in the darkness, his eyes sincere.

”I am here to apologize on behalf of the Jun Family. This was an act of desperation, but it was indeed wrong.”

”Of course, while reaching a reconciliation with you all, I would like to invite you Seniors to return to the Jun Family.”

”Once a Jun Family member, always a Jun Family member. The name of the True Dragon should resound throughout the world, not be wasted in this extravagant and empty underground palace.”

Jun Lingxiao’s words immediately drew scoffs.

”Heh, kid, you’re finally showing your true colors, aren’t you? You want us to return to the Jun Family to be your hounds? Delusional!”

”Exactly! In other words, even if we agree to go back, what if the previous situation happens again?”

”You think you can resolve so many years of grievances with just one sentence? Ridiculous!”

”Who dares to promise that everything from before won’t repeat? Can you?”

Jun Lingxiao stood up, facing the many questioning gazes, and nodded heavily.

”I can.”

Suddenly, the scene fell silent. Despite his small figure, his words were unexpectedly firm.

But that wasn’t all; Jun Lingxiao was just beginning his speech.

”I promise that when you all return to the Jun Family, you will receive equal status. I can even eat and live with you all. Not just you, but any being among the Ten Thousand Beasts, I can treat equally. As long as the heart is a Jun Family heart, then he is a Jun Family member.”

”If you don’t believe me, I can make a Dao Heart blood oath here today.”

As these two sentences fell, the questioning gazes had already diminished significantly, but some still carried a hint of a sneer, a gaze that seemed to see through everything.
