"Arrogant!"
Yao Wang Gui had originally disliked this Yao Chen's disciple, and this time, feeling insulted, he became even more determined to kill him.
How dare a mere Dou Ancestor speak to me like that, acting as if his brother was some kind of genius? It was utterly ridiculous.
In reality, Yao Wang Gui was well aware that his actions back then had violated his duties as the Punishment Elder and constituted persecution of Yao Chen.
Seeing how powerful Yao Chen's disciples had become now and how they had gained Xiao Ting's backing, he couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt.
When one feels guilty, one is more likely to become irritable in order to hide it!
"We are waiting for discussion, yet you dare to say such ridiculous things!" Yao Wang Gui's soul pressure surged.
Xiao Yan remained unmoved and raised his chin. "Ridiculous. Even if I am nothing more than an ant in your eyes, what difference does it make in the eyes of the clan leaders? Aren't you just a slightly larger ant yourself?"
Gu Yuan and the others: "…"
The wording was crude, but the principle was correct. However, this was far too crude.
"Silence!"
Just as Yao Wang Gui was about to speak, Yao Dan stopped him.
He could not understand why Yao Wang Gui harbored such malice toward the Xiao Clan, but he felt it was inappropriate and was dissatisfied.
He was there to fight for the interests of the Yao Clan, and Yao Wang Gui was there to cooperate, not to target them or cause the Yao Clan to withdraw from the alliance.
Yao Ling had left with Huo Zhi and seemed to have a good impression of Xiao Ting.
Yao Dan was sincerely grateful for his decisiveness.
Because they had been proven wrong multiple times.
Yan Jin, Shi Po Kong, the clan leader of the Shi Clan, and Ling Qing Shu, the clan leader of the Ling Clan, all remained calm. A jade slip appeared in front of them. When they crushed it, it transformed into information.
After a while, Yan Jin smiled and said, "There is no need to say anything more. A message came from Yan Liu. When they were fighting the three madmen of the Hun Clan in the Black-Corner Region, Hun Mie suddenly appeared and tried to attack."
"At the critical moment, Xiao Ting appeared, not only saving them but also defeating Hun Mie and the three madmen of the Hun Clan."
"Xiao Ting's contribution in defeating one early-stage five-star Dou Saint and three two-star Dou Saints is undoubtedly the greatest."
"Whether before or after the formation of the alliance."
These words were like a heavy slap to Yao Wang Gui's face, and he was momentarily speechless.
In the next moment, a strong pressure descended upon him, and Yan Jin and the others slightly changed their expressions.
Gu Yuan looked in one direction without changing his expression and asked, "Why has a powerful member of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan come here?"
"Hehe, Qing Yan greets Clan Leader Gu Yuan."
An old man with white hair and a youthful face appeared from the void, stood behind Xiao Yan, and cupped his fists in salute toward Gu Yuan.
Qing Yan?
Upon hearing this name, everyone's expressions were moved.
This was the Third Elder of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, not the Elder of some Dragon Island, but an elder of the entire Ancient Void Dragon Clan, someone who had reached the late stage of seven-star Dou Saint two thousand years ago.
Judging from the fluctuations of his aura, he had probably already reached the eight-star Dou Saint level.
Compared to human cultivators, magical beasts grew slowly, but as long as the opponent's soul realm was not extremely deep, at the same level, their combat power was generally stronger.
The Ancient Void Dragon was undoubtedly number one in the world of Beast.
'Elder Qing Yan went out into the void to search for the Old Dragon Emperor, but has now returned. Could it be that…'
A deep meaning flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes.
If the Ancient Void Dragon Emperor were to return, the Dou Qi Continent would truly enter a lively era.
"Our clan's Old Dragon Emperor is safe, but he cannot return immediately." Qing Yan smiled and said. "Both the Old Dragon Emperor and the New Dragon Emperor are very grateful to Xiao Ting, so they ordered me to come here as a representative of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan to join the Soul Extinction Alliance."
"Indeed…"
Qing Yan looked at Yao Wang Gui and said, "He is the representative of the Xiao Clan."
Xiao Yan immediately raised his chin.
You don't understand the value of Xiao Ting's talent.
Yao Wang Gui: "…"
The arrival of these news one after another was such a shock that it felt like his face had been slapped twice hard, and Yao Wang Gui almost fainted.
It was as if he had foreseen his own future.
Gu Yuan and the others: "…"
Xiao Ting had deliberately put on a show and successfully established a connection with the Ancient Void Dragon Emperor, and furthermore, he had successfully made the old men whose life or death was unknown and who were either in hiding or in seclusion appear.
However, this was a good thing for them.
…
Meanwhile, in the Beast Region.
Xiao Ting had come here alone and felt very lucky.
Zhu Kun had given him an inverted scale, allowing him to come into contact with powerful Ancient Void Dragons.
However, these powerful existences had set foot in the distant abyss, and it was difficult to predict when they would arrive.
In reality, Qing Yan had happened to return to check on the situation of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan because of the great war that had broken out in Central Plains, and had come here after sensing danger.
Therefore, he stated that Zhu Kun would soon escape his predicament and successfully find the inheritance of Ancient Emperor Tou She, and asked Qing Yan to investigate the Xiao Clan.
"An eight-star Dou Saint level Ancient Dragon is a symbol of our Xiao Clan. No one will say anything, right?"
Xiao Ting actually did not think that no one would object to the Xiao Clan even if he did not appear.
After all, before forming the alliance, he had secured benefits for the various Ancient Clans, and his contributions were countless.
Furthermore, he had connections with every race.
Even within the Yao Clan, there were alchemists who had a good relationship with him.
Asking Qing Yan for help was merely a formality.
"The most urgent task is to obtain the inheritance of the Creation Saint."
The barrier surrounding the Creation Saint's tomb had not yet disappeared, and ordinary people could not perceive it.
If Hu Tiandi and Gu Yuan were here, they could use their God-level souls to perceive it, but those two were not that free.
Xiao Ting, who possessed the Battle Skills of flight and teleportation, crossed the Bone Mountain Range and arrived at his destination in the blink of an eye.
"Huh?"
Upon entering the Creation Saint's tomb, an expression of surprise appeared on Xiao Ting's face.
Thanks to his sharp spatial perception, he noticed that there was something unusual about this tomb. It was not a single structure but had the height of three floors.
This was actually a tomb within a tomb, structured with a tomb outside the tomb.
What does that mean?
Simply put, there were three tombs in this place.
One tomb was built beneath another tomb.
One tomb referred to a section carved out from among multiple tombs.
"This is truly unexpected, but it seems very reasonable."
Xiao Ting stroked his chin and began to think.
The so-called Creation Saint's tomb might contain strange items like the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.
Just by consuming one Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, Zi Yan had advanced from seventh rank to ninth rank in just a few years and transformed into a Dragon Phoenix with power comparable to a four-star Dou Saint. That was more powerful than a cheat code.
The ancient phoenix and ancient dragon that gave birth to this fruit were undoubtedly ninth-rank experts, and both must have possessed royal bloodlines.
However, the inheritance left behind by the Creation Saint was merely a very ordinary Heaven-rank battle skill called the "Great Creation Palm."
The gatekeepers were peak-level Dou Ancestor puppets, and if they combined, they could fight against low-level Dou Venerables.
The tomb contained ancient puppets capable of fighting against peak Dou Venerables.
Furthermore, there was also a medicinal beast formed from an eighth-rank Nine-Colored Thunder Pill.
That completely lowered the level of the Dou Saint.
If the Creation Saint was a half-God, then it made sense.
Could the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit be sleeping in the tomb of a half-God?
"It seems worth investigating in detail."
