An invisible force suddenly pulled Xiao Yan and the others. A hazy light instantly illuminated before their eyes, followed by a dazzling white flash. When their vision returned, Xiao Yan found himself standing outside the Heavenly Tomb, in an open space deep within the Ancient Saint Mountain Range.
He quickly looked around and saw that besides himself, Xun'er, Hun Yu, Hun Xiao, Huo Zhi, Huo Xuan, and others had also appeared here, safe and sound. Xiao Yan's gaze finally fell upon the Black-Robed Figure from the Xiao Clan, feeling a faint sense of doubt.
Mang Tianchi's voice came from the sky, tinged with a hint of urgency and annoyance:
"Wait, no way… Are you kidding me? Neither of those two brats came out… Did they all die in there? This is bad, this is bad. I'm definitely going to get an earful when I go back!"
His gaze fixed on the two members of the Soul Clan, his expression instantly darkening, his tone carrying clear hostility:
"Was it you two guys who pulled a trick?"
Hun Xiao rolled her eyes and coldly retorted: "We had a mission this time. How could we have time to bother with those two guys from your Lei Clan whose names we don't even know…"
Gu Tongxuan appeared at the edge of the crowd. His voice, slightly cold and hard, addressed Hun Xiao and the others:
"If you have nothing else to do, then please leave. From now on, the Gu Clan does not welcome people from your Soul Clan."
Hun Yu slightly narrowed his eyes and smiled: "It seems something has happened."
Hun Xiao, not wanting trouble, said: "Let's go."
Mang Tianchi and the people from the Yan Clan were also preparing to leave, but Gu Tongxuan called out to them:
"Please wait a moment. I hope you can deliver a message to your respective Clan Leaders. The Soul Clan has already begun to act against other clans."
"The Shi Clan has been annihilated, and the Ling Clan's whereabouts are unknown. The Clan Leader hopes that our three clans can form an alliance to jointly resist the Soul Clan."
"What? Is the news reliable?" Mang Tianchi's face changed dramatically.
Huo Zhi and Huo Xuan looked at Gu Tongxuan in shock.
"You can send people to verify. Although the Soul Clan acts covertly, there are still traces to be found."
The people from the Lei Clan and the Yan Clan walked away with uneasy hearts.
Gu Tongxuan then looked at Xiao Ning and Xiao Yan, and said: "What do you two plan to do? The Xiao Clan now…"
"This time, the Xiao Clan does not intend to confront the Soul Clan. We already did this a thousand years ago," Xiao Yu's voice came from the side, her tone calm but with a hint of elusive profound meaning.
Xiao Yan found the voice somewhat familiar, but at this moment, his attention was more focused on the meaning of her words.
He frowned, a surge of inexplicable anger and doubt welling up in his heart, and he couldn't help but speak:
"Shouldn't you give me an explanation? Since the Xiao Clan still preserves such power, why did you sit idly by while the Xiao Family was annihilated?"
His voice carried a hint of accusation, his gaze fixed on Xiao Yu, as if trying to discern an answer from her face, which was shrouded in a hazy mist.
After a pause, Xiao Yan continued:
"Also, why not confront the Soul Clan? Are you planning to escape? Our ancestor did so much back then. If he knew that his descendants didn't even have the courage to fight their former enemies, he would probably be very disappointed."
It's precisely because of the lessons from our ancestors a thousand years ago that we want to find a more reliable teammate… Xiao Yu complained in her heart, but did not voice it.
She was silent for two seconds, then softly said: "Times change. It's no longer a thousand years ago, and the Xiao Clan is no longer the Xiao Clan of the past."
"When you meet the Clan Leader, ask him personally. Many things, we only know bits and pieces…"
With that, she turned to Xiao Ning and the others and said: "Let's go."
"Wait!" Xiao Yan's voice suddenly rose, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, "Don't even think about leaving without explaining yourselves!"
Before his words finished, a vast spirit power pressure suddenly surged from within him, like an invisible giant wave sweeping out, making people involuntarily feel a sense of submission.
Because Xiao Yan was not yet skilled enough in controlling his spirit power, this pressure did not fully concentrate on Xiao Yu and the others, but rather dispersed, affecting the entire Ancient Realm.
Countless Gu Clan members felt a tremor in their hearts at this moment, as if suppressed by an invisible force, making even their breathing difficult.
And those stronger, more experienced experts immediately realized that this was an extremely powerful spirit power pressure, and they all showed shocked expressions.
Only a select few knew its lofty essence from this trace of spirit power aura.
Gu Lie's expression changed: "Who is it? That direction… is the Ancient Saint Mountain Range. What happened again?"
Gu Yuan, in a small bamboo hut, suddenly stood up, his expression slightly solemn: "Soul Realm of Emperor?"
Besides the Hun Tiandi and the Taixu Ancient Dragon that emerged from the Heavenly Tomb, this was the third expert he had encountered with an Soul Realm of Emperor!
The Dou Shengs of the Gu Clan rushed towards the depths of the Ancient Saint Mountain Range.
Xiao Yu bore the main pressure, and caught off guard, she took a step back, then spoke with a hint of envy in her tone:
"Soul Realm of Emperor… It seems Ancestor Xiao Xuan helped you a lot and gave you a great opportunity… "But isn't your body a bit too weak? That frail body cannot exert the power of such a strong soul… "Save your strength. If you were already a Dou Saint, I might be wary, but right now, you are not my opponent."
As she spoke, majestic Dou Qi surged from Xiao Yu's body, causing heaven and earth to change color.
Xiao Yan's face changed. He was very powerful now, but also very fragile. If he were facing ordinary One or Two Star Dou Shengs, his spirit power alone could easily crush them.
But if the opponent was stronger and could resist a bit, the recoil from the confrontation could severely injure him.
Xiao Yu's released aura, clashing with Xiao Yan's spirit power pressure, already caused some injuries to his overwhelmed body.
"Seven Star Dou Saint?" A voice sounded in the sky, carrying undisguised shock.
A rift appeared in the void, and Gu Dao walked out of it. He stared wide-eyed at Xiao Yu.
The other party did not have the same aged aura as himself, but rather a vibrant vitality, almost… like a young person such as Xiao Yan or Xun'er.
He was startled by his own thought. If she had truly reached this realm at such a young age, that would be too terrifying!
Seeing blood spill from the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth, Xiao Yu's expression slightly changed, and she immediately retracted her aura.
She glanced at Gu Dao, then at the sky in another direction, and then tore open space:
"If you have anything, discuss it with our Clan Leader. I don't have the authority to make decisions."
"Where can I find him?" After seeing the power Xiao Yu displayed, Gu Yuan finally couldn't sit still and couldn't help but appear, asking.
The ambition of the Soul Clan was fully exposed. At this time, the power displayed by the Xiao Clan made him feel that they would be an important ally.
"The Clan Leader's whereabouts have always been secretive; I don't know much. The last time I saw him was in the southern part of the Central Plains."
Xiao Yu's soft but clear voice reached everyone present. She stepped into the void crack, and Xiao Ning, Xiao Mei, and Xiao Ke followed.
Gu Yuan watched them disappear into the void crack, pondered for a long time, but ultimately did not follow… He sensed the other party's very cold attitude towards him.
"Alas… In these thousand years, perhaps I made a mistake. I should have been more concerned about the Xiao Clan." Gu Yuan sighed in his heart.
