134: I'll keep the ancient jade for you

Facing the encirclement of the crowd, even Soul Demon, one of the Four Demon Saints of the Hun Clan, dared not show the slightest contempt, but he also showed no fear.

He wore a fierce expression, stood with his saber, and unleashed his full Qi, the Hun Clan's clan lines on his forehead shining.

“You think you can stop me?!”

The shadow of the Blood Saber flashed madly, the world suddenly darkened, and a bloody hue permeated, resembling a bloody Hell.

The Nine Nether Wind Flame howled, and the Yin Qi-filled gale blew, yet it couldn't even Breakthrough the blood shadow.

“This is the Ancient World! Not your Soul Realm!”

Gu Lie roared, his body surging with domineering Qi, as he directly charged into the bloody Hell.

His long spear was like a Dragon, dancing as if a swimming Dragon encircled his body, impervious to the bloody Qi.

His hair stood on end with rage, and his muscles bulged!

Another spear thrust, a cold glint flashed, and the next moment it directly knocked off one of Soul Demon’s arms.

Gu Lie pressed forward, about to deliver the killing blow, but the next moment, three Qi tore through the Void Realm, and one stepped out, possessing a Qi no weaker than Soul Demon’s.

“Dare to trespass into the Ancient World, all of you shall die!”

Gu Lie shouted, intending to intimidate his opponents, and then, with an unstoppable momentum, he charged directly towards Soul Demon and the three others.

However, at this moment, Gu Lie’s heart had sunk to the bottom.

Up until now, Gu Yuan and Gu Dao and the others had not come to support him!

And the three in front of him had broken through the Ancient World!

Clearly, Gu Yuan and the others were all held up, and someone extremely powerful had acted to break open the Ancient World.

The Qi of the three in front of him was in no way inferior to Soul Demon’s, yet they were not any of the Four Demon Saints that Gu Lie knew of!

Soul Demon retreated behind the three, simultaneously protecting the two representatives of the Hun Clan who had come to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony.

The three leading figures had no intention of prolonging the fight; they were originally a reserve force of the Hun Clan, and only had to act to rescue Soul Demon, a high-level combatant, but they were also unwilling to expose too many of their methods.

“Gu Lie, don't be arrogant! There will be a time for us to fight in the future!”

With that, the three acted together, instantly flying several thousand li outside the Ancient World.

At this time, Gu Dao, Gu Jian, and the others, led by Gu Yuan, finally appeared on the square, but the four of them had rather grim expressions.

Gu Lie put away his long spear and quickly called out, “Clan Chief, just now…”

Gu Yuan’s expression was somewhat gloomy, and he said in a deep voice, “Just now, Hun Tiandi came. I fought him. He has already fully recovered, and is even stronger than he was back then. I only regret not acting when Xiao Xuan severely injured him back then!”

After speaking, Gu Yuan turned and looked at the representatives of the various clans, and solemnly stated, “Everyone, although the Stone Clan was exterminated, some of its clansmen escaped, and they brought everyone the truth about the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan. The Hun Clan massacred the two clans and established the Hall of Souls throughout the continent to extract Souls, causing widespread suffering. My Gu Clan today invites all clans and forces here to form an Alliance to jointly resist the Hun Clan!”

“For the Righteous Path, for the living beings of the world!”

Gu Yuan’s passionate speech immediately drew continuous agreement from the representatives of the Lei, Yan, and Yao clans present, and the other invited forces also responded one after another.

“For the living beings of the world!”

Carrying the will of the crowd, Gu Yuan looked at Xiao Lei, after all, the latter’s current strength was already enough to influence the battle between the two sides.

Seeing that the other party was once again spouting a bunch of slogans about the Righteous Path to win him over, Xiao Lei didn't care in the slightest.

If it was truly for the living beings of the world, why didn't they act when the Hall of Souls massacred the living beings of various continents, or when the Spirit Domain wreaked havoc in the Central Plains?

Ultimately, the Gu Clan was finally feeling the breath of death.

“The matters of the Imperial Clan should be handled by the Imperial Clan itself!”

“Furthermore, the ancient jade of the Xiao Family is on Xiao Yan. Whoever dares to cause trouble in my Purple Thunder Pavilion, I will kill them!”

After speaking, Xiao Lei took the three girls and directly traversed the Ancient World, returning to the Central Plains.

After Xiao Lei and the others left, Gu Dao finally spoke with some anger, “Clan Chief, just now was such a good opportunity, why didn’t you stop him? If he helps the Hun Clan, wouldn’t it be disadvantageous to our clan!”

“At this critical juncture, dealing with the Hun Clan is more important. Don't create new problems, otherwise, it might backfire!”

Hearing this, Gu Dao’s emotions grew even more agitated. Xiao Lei’s talent truly made him uneasy, and perhaps he also had other motives. Gu Dao was unwilling to see Xiao Lei leave so safely.

“But with the Clan Chief’s strength, you could have completely kept the two of them. Why leave a variable?!”

Feeling Gu Dao’s agitated emotions, Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes and stared at Gu Dao, speaking in an questioning tone, “Gu Dao, I know you were humiliated by Xiao Lei just now, but now is a critical moment for the survival of our race, and you cannot act recklessly!”

“The girl beside Xiao Lei is a Dragon Phoenix, and her attainments in space are even above those of the Void Ancient Dragon, not to mention… the Hun Clan was just outside the Ancient World. If we were to fight, what do you think the Hun Clan would do?!”

Hearing this, Gu Dao finally came back to his senses, lowered his head slightly, and no longer argued.

Having persuaded Gu Dao, Gu Yuan finally let out a sigh of relief, his gaze looking beyond the Ancient World, in the direction of the Soul Realm!

Just now, although he hadn’t confirmed the identity, he had sensed a nine-star Dou Sheng-Grade Qi fluctuation!

It was this Qi that had broken through the Ancient World’s defenses, allowing three Seven-Star Dou Sheng to enter the Ancient World and rescue Soul Demon.

The hidden strength of the Hun Clan truly startled Gu Yuan.

In the past, he always thought that even if the Gu Clan was slightly weaker than the Hun Clan, the difference shouldn't be too great, but the facts proved how absurd his idea was.

“Go, invite the Clan Chiefs of the various clans to the Gu Clan to discuss the Alliance!”

“At the same time, have Gu Jian prepare several batches of gifts, to be sent to the Purple Thunder Pavilion and the Pill Tower, and these Central Plains forces. At the very least, we must stabilize them!”

…Gu Yuan issued command after command at an extremely fast pace. It was foreseeable that the Gu Clan, which had been peaceful for countless years, was about to become lively again.

After doing all this, Gu Yuan finally turned his gaze to Xiao Yan, who was with Xiao Xun’er.

Xiao Lei had said earlier that the ancient jade was on Xiao Yan!

Flashing to Xiao Yan’s front, Gu Yuan only left behind one sentence, “Follow me.”

Gu Xun’er opened her mouth to speak, but was pushed back by a single look from Gu Yuan.

On one side was her father, carrying the great righteousness of the clan, and on the other was her beloved… Fortunately, Xiao Yan was somewhat responsible and voluntarily stepped forward, which prevented Gu Xun’er from being put in a difficult position.

Gu Yuan nodded slightly at the sight, then waved his sleeve, enveloped Xiao Yan, and disappeared from the spot.

Ancient Saint Mountain was a Forbidden Ground within the Gu Clan. Ordinary people, even Gu Clan descendants, were not qualified to enter it.

On the cliff, Gu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back by the edge of the cliff, while Xiao Yan followed behind him.

Facing this Peak expert of the continent, even Xiao Yan was somewhat nervous for a moment.

This was his father-in-law. If Xiao Yan wanted to be with Gu Xun’er, he had to pass this hurdle.

Gu Yuan spoke first, breaking the silence, “I know about your and Xun’er’s relationship. I personally respect Xun’er’s choice, but there is a lot of opposition within the clan, do you know that?”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan thought the other party wanted to test his resolve, and immediately solemnly promised, “Uncle, even if there are ten thousand difficulties, I will definitely overcome them!”

“The Elders don't approve of me, simply because they think I, Xiao Yan, don't have the Imperial Bloodline, simply because they think I'm not worthy of Xun’er. I will prove myself, I will become a Dou Sheng!”

Gu Yuan waved his hand to interrupt, which immediately caused Xiao Yan to be stunned.

“Actually, this matter is very simple to resolve. The Elders who oppose you are also the Elders who advocated for seizing the ancient jade from the Xiao Family back then.”

“Do you understand what I mean?”
