304: The Envoy of Yuanling Sect

Fire Phoenix looked at the worried Ji Yunshu and comforted her, "Yunshu, don't worry. Even if World Lord Xun is no match for the entire Lie Family, it definitely won't be a problem for him to retreat safely."

Ji Yunshu didn't know if her father could rescue Pan Zhenbang's father, so worry was inevitable.

Hearing Fire Phoenix's comforting words, she forced a smile and nodded.

Fire Phoenix then said to the person beside her, "Use a sound transmission talisman to constantly monitor any news from the Lie Family's domain and report back at any time."

The person beside her had just retreated.

Two figures appeared in the main hall.

Xun Xiuyuan's voice faintly sounded, "Yunshu, what's wrong? Why the unhappy expression?"

Fire Phoenix looked at Xun Xiuyuan, then at the figure beside Xun Xiuyuan, Patriarch Pan Chen.

All the shock in her heart was evident on her face. In such a short time, she wouldn't even have enough time to make a round trip herself.

But this World Lord Xun had already brought the person back. The Lie Family was so easy to talk to?

Fire Phoenix, who had lived in the Lieyang Great World for a long time, knew that the Lie Family was not easy to talk to.

"World Lord Xun! Has the person already been rescued?"

As soon as Fire Phoenix spoke, she knew she had said something redundant.

When Ji Yunshu saw Xun Xiuyuan appear, she immediately rushed to her father's side and grabbed Xun Xiuyuan's hand.

If her father, who had been missing for a hundred years, were to fall into danger again because of her romantic feelings, she would probably never forgive herself.

Xun Xiuyuan withdrew his hand and stroked Ji Yunshu's head, "Are you worrying about me? There's nothing to worry about."

He then looked at Fire Phoenix and nodded in greeting.

At this moment, a guard walked into the hall and reported, "City Lord, news has come back from the Lie Family's domain. Lie Shang, the Lie Family Patriarch, and Lie Yingtong, the Eldest Miss, have been killed. The Lie Family has sealed its domain, claiming to be in seclusion for a hundred years."

Fire Phoenix's heart felt as if it had been struck hard by a giant hammer. In such a short time, this World Lord Xun had not only rescued the Pan Family Patriarch.

He had also killed the Lie Family Patriarch and Eldest Miss in the Lie Family. To what extent was this World Lord Xun's strength?

Seeing the shocked crowd, Xun Xiuyuan said faintly, "It wasn't that I wanted to act; they just weren't cooperative, hehe."

Fire Phoenix looked at Xun Xiuyuan, who was speaking so casually, and nodded, "World Lord Xun must have his reasons for doing this. My Fire Family fully supports World Lord Xun."

Xun Xiuyuan looked at Pan Zhenbang and said, "Since your marriage with Yunshu has been decided, I will take Yunshu back to the Barren Lands first."

Pan Zhenbang stood up and bowed to Xun Xiuyuan, "Uncle Xun, please rest assured. After I return to the Pan Family and discuss it with my parents, I will immediately set off for the Barren Lands to propose marriage."

Xun Xiuyuan nodded, then glanced at Patriarch Pan Chen one last time before leaving Fire Phoenix City with Ji Yunshu.

At the passage entrance from the Lieyang Great World to the Extraterritorial Battlefield, Xun Xiuyuan saw Yang Dingtian standing there.

Xun Xiuyuan cupped his hands and said, "Since World Lord Yang is waiting here for this junior, is there something important?"

Yang Dingtian nodded and smiled, "In the Lie Family, I witnessed World Lord Xun's battle and had an idea."

Xun Xiuyuan didn't speak, but just quietly looked at Yang Dingtian.

Yang Dingtian continued, "I think the Lieyang Great World can also join the Heavenly Palace Alliance. What does World Lord Xun think?"

Xun Xiuyuan immediately knew that World Lord Yang was aware of the Fire Family's plans.

Xun Xiuyuan smiled, "Of course, but my main goal is to maintain the grand order of the Extraterritorial Battlefield, not to dominate."

Yang Dingtian waved his hand and smiled, "That's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about. The current situation of the Extraterritorial Battlefield was deliberately created by the Yuan Ling Sect, or rather, intentionally managed by the Yuan Ling Sect. They use a 'raising gu' method to cultivate strong individuals, and as soon as a strong individual appears, they are conscripted by the Yuan Ling Sect."

Xun Xiuyuan often heard about conscriptions by the Yuan Ling Sect, and at this point, he couldn't help but interject, "Why? Why doesn't the Yuan Ling Sect allow strong individuals above the True Saint Realm to appear in the Extraterritorial Battlefield?"

Yang Dingtian: "Because of war. The Yuan Ling Sect has always been at war with other unknown forces. As long as one is strong enough, they will be conscripted."

Then Yang Dingtian continued, "According to the news from the Yang Family's Old Ancestor, the entire Extraterritorial Battlefield, including the Yuan Ling Sect and thousands of Great Worlds, actually belongs to one universe called the Yuan Ling Universe. The Yuan Ling Sect is the spokesperson of the Yuan Ling Universe, and the passage between the Yuan Ling Universe and the outside world is within the Yuan Ling Sect. The battles there are very fierce, so they have been relying on the entire Extraterritorial Battlefield to cultivate soldiers."

Xun Xiuyuan understood that his actions had undoubtedly disrupted the Yuan Ling Sect's plan.

Yang Dingtian stopping him wasn't to join the Heavenly Palace Alliance; he mainly wanted to inform him that his Heavenly Palace Alliance had committed a taboo.

Xun Xiuyuan did not agree with this 'raising gu' method, because many geniuses simply did not have the soil to grow and perished.

To truly become strong, systematic cultivation and healthy competition are still needed. Only then will the Yuan Ling Universe grow more healthily and become stronger and stronger.

Facing Yang Dingtian's kind reminder, Xun Xiuyuan cupped his hands in thanks, but he had no intention of changing anything. The Heavenly Palace Alliance was fine and did not need to change.

Yang Dingtian saw that Xun Xiuyuan understood his painstaking efforts and smiled knowingly, finally saying, "As the host, I'll see World Lord Xun off."

After speaking, he led Xun Xiuyuan and Ji Yunshu into the passage to the Extraterritorial Battlefield.

As soon as Xun Xiuyuan entered the Extraterritorial Battlefield, his sound transmission jade lit up.

"Little Junior Brother, people from the Yuan Ling Sect have arrived."

Zhuge Lun's voice sounded from the sound transmission jade.

Xun Xiuyuan did not avoid Yang Dingtian.

Yang Dingtian smiled, "Have people from the Yuan Ling Sect arrived?"

Xun Xiuyuan nodded.

Yang Dingtian kindly said, "Don't be aggressive."

Xun Xiuyuan nodded, greeted Yang Dingtian, and then left the canyon of the Lieyang Great World with Ji Yunshu.

Inside the Heavenly Palace.

Xie Nanqiao was seated in the main position.

Two men and one woman sat upright on both sides of the main hall.

Xun Xiuyuan's clone sat quietly not far away, like a stone statue.

However, it was precisely because of this clone that the Yuan Ling Sect's envoys were not overly arrogant.

Because at first, the envoys, relying on their realm, were arrogant and treated Zhuge Lun and Ghost Emperor very rudely.

A conflict almost broke out.

It wasn't until Xun Xiuyuan's clone, who was meditating in the distance, opened his eyes, looked at the three of them, and said, "Make noise again and die."

These four words were more effective than all polite words.

Because the three of them felt that the moment Xun Xiuyuan's clone opened his eyes, they felt as if they were being stared at by a primeval beast, and the hairs on their bodies instinctively stood on end.

Zhuge Lun and Ghost Emperor finally had a general understanding of Xun Xiuyuan's strength.

One must know that the three envoys from the Yuan Ling Sect were all True Saint Realm powerhouses, but Xun Xiuyuan's clone, with just one sentence, made the three True Saints much more well-behaved.

It was precisely because of this that they waited calmly for Xie Nanqiao's arrival.
