306: Movement! Feng Qinger's intuition

The air compressed to a visible degree.

The fist, imbued with Dou Qi, landed on the Skeleton's head.

Crack!

Suddenly, everyone felt a blur before their eyes; one of the Skeleton's palms had unknowingly risen, blocking Xiong Zhan's fist.

The Void Realm rippled, Xiong Zhan's face twisted sharply, and he roared, pulling his fist back.

He looked at his bleeding palm, "Damn it, worthy of a Dou Sheng. Even dead, it can still injure me."

"Retreat! It's about to awaken!"

Lin Xiu, who had been observing the Skeleton, immediately warned when he saw Xiong Zhan's dripping blood being absorbed.

The three, already somewhat wary, immediately retreated a significant distance.

On the stone throne, the white jade-like Skeleton trembled slightly, and in its hollow eye sockets, two clusters of red light, like eyeballs, suddenly lit up.

"Ah!"

The moment the red light appeared, the Dou Sheng Skeleton raised its head, and an earth-shattering roar emanated from its mouth.

The sound transformed into tangible sound waves, spreading in all directions.

The ground cracked, and stone pillars broke.

"This Skeleton's strength is not low, Brother Lin, are you really confident?"

Even at a distance, Xiong Zhan felt a chill from the sound waves.

If he hadn't been prepared beforehand, and if Brother Lin hadn't warned him, this single roar alone would have at least severely injured him.

"Trust me, be careful not to provide it with any more Blood. Its power's recovery is related to Blood."

Lin Xiu only wanted its remnant Soul to revive; only then could he use Soul power to defeat it.

The Skeleton's current state had already met his requirements.

"Intruders of the ruins, die!"

The Skeleton rose, stepped down from the stone platform, and uttered an ancient and hoarse voice... Elsewhere.

In the Skeleton Mountain Range outside the ruins, more and more factions gathered.

Among them, waves of Dou Zun Aura permeated the air.

As time passed, everyone knew that the time for the ruins to open was approaching.

Therefore, the powerhouses of each faction had also arrived at the scene.

"I heard Lin Xiu brought people here early."

Venerable Feng stood on a mountain peak, his gaze sweeping towards a tent at the very front.

There were no flags indicating identity there.

"I still haven't figured out what faction this kid has behind him, daring to openly provoke the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan in the Beast Region. Tsk tsk, such courage, truly great."

Yao Chen's tone was full of complex meaning; he didn't believe Lin Xiu would do something without backing.

"If a conflict arises inside the ruins, should we help?"

Venerable Feng asked.

Yao Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Help him. He is already qualified to be on equal footing with us. One more friend means one more strength."

"I hope the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan isn't too crazy."

Venerable Feng murmured.

Following his gaze, one could see a flag with a Phoenix bird, fluttering in the wind.

Under the flag, inside the tent.

"The energy fluctuations are becoming more intense; the ruins will open soon."

"After entering the ruins, the first thing is to capture Lin Xiu!"

"Yes, this kid has provoked our Clan repeatedly. If we don't capture him, where will our Clan's face be?"

Several Elders' angry gazes peered through the gaps, looking at the tent not far away.

"This time, no matter what, we cannot let him leave the Beast Region."

In the main seat, an Elder spoke softly, his tone calm, yet conveying an undeniable certainty.

"We must tear him limb from limb. I want to see how he can withstand me with his Physical Body."

In the corner, the white-clothed man's eyes were filled with hatred.

Beside him, Feng Qing'er sat quietly, but her gaze, filled with confusion, was fixed on the tent where Lin Xiu and his companions were.

So much time has passed, and he hasn't shown his face at all?

Suddenly.

A terrifying energy spread across this area.

Everyone in the tent felt it and stood up, all walking out.

And similarly, so did people from other factions.

For a moment, countless figures stood in the Void Realm, looking towards the location where the terrifying Aura erupted.

A palm outline appeared in the Void Realm, as if blocked by a thin film, wanting to reach out but unable to.

"Where did this battle come from?"

"Which faction is this? That Aura makes me feel extremely uneasy even from this distance."

"Logically speaking, near the ruins, there shouldn't be any other power affecting us."

Everyone spoke one after another, each with a different expression on their faces.

But what was relatively consistent was that they all felt somewhat strange.

"How is this possible? The ruins clearly haven't opened yet, so why would anyone be inside?"

A cry of shock drew everyone's attention.

A black mist covered the sky, and the voice came from within.

"People from the Hall of Souls. I didn't expect them to be attracted here too."

Yao Chen's face darkened, and killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"Someone was actually able to disregard the Dou Sheng Seal and sneak into the ruins."

Venerable Feng paid more attention to the other party's words.

Everyone gathered here was after the treasures in the ruins, coming here to seek treasure.

But judging by the Hall of Souls' meaning, someone was already inside the ruins.

Moreover, the target of the ongoing battle seemed to be the Hall of Souls' objective for this operation.

Within the black clouds, the people from the Hall of Souls all looked displeased.

They knew there was a Dou Sheng Skeleton in the ruins, and their trip was also for the Skeleton.

But now, the commotion clearly originated from the Skeleton.

This meant someone was attacking the Skeleton!

"The ruins have a Dou Sheng Seal. Who could have snuck in? How is this possible?"

The Elders of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan were also somewhat bewildered.

Just then, a light suddenly flashed in Feng Qing'er's eyes.

She gazed at Lin Xiu and his companions' tent.

Something was wrong! With such a big commotion, everyone came out to investigate, so why was there no movement from him at all?

Thinking of this, that inexplicable feeling of aversion from before resurfaced in her heart.

Feng Qing'er recalled carefully, feeling it wasn't like jealousy, but rather a deep-seated aversion that arose when that young girl looked at her.

What could make her feel such a deep-seated aversion and also be able to ignore the Seal left by a Dou Sheng?

Suddenly.

Four words flashed through her mind.

Void Ancient Dragon!

Feng Qing'er's delicate body trembled violently, feeling somewhat incredulous. How could Lin Xiu be connected to the Void Ancient Dragon?

She wasn't entirely sure, but verifying this conjecture was actually very easy.

"Qing'er, what are you doing?"

An Elder of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan saw Feng Qing'er suddenly raise her hand and attack a tent, and couldn't help but shout to stop her.

But Feng Qing'er did not stop.

Boom!

A beam of Dou Qi energy struck the tent, sending it flying.

Everyone's gaze instinctively turned to it. Inside the empty tent, there was no one.

"Lin Xiu! It's Lin Xiu in the ruins! He colluded with the Void Ancient Dragon and secretly snuck into the ruins!"

Feng Qing'er was both shocked and angry.

What? Void Ancient Dragon? Lin Xiu?

Everyone present listened, feeling somewhat bewildered, many had not yet fully processed it.

"Qing'er, you're not joking, are you?"

The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan Elder still didn't quite believe it after hearing her.

Although Lin Xiu's figure was indeed not seen under the tent, this didn't rule out the possibility that he might have been afraid of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and therefore secretly ran away.

"Elder Huang Xuan, I am very certain that the young girl accompanying Lin Xiu is from the Void Ancient Dragon. When she looked at me before, I felt an aversion originating from my Bloodline."

Feng Qing'er's expression was calm, her voice clear and firm.

Upon hearing this, the people of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan couldn't help but take it seriously. Something that could involve the Bloodline and incite hatred...

Among their Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, there was only one such thing: the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, who liked to prey on them.

The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's aversion and hatred towards the Void Ancient Dragon were truly etched into their bones.
