Chapter 1019: Gu Xun'er Begins to Act

As Lin Feng and the other followed the thin old man through the city wall, they entered the city permeated with an ancient aura.

Nowadays, the Ancient Holy City, perhaps due to the Ancient Clan's coming-of-age ceremony, the streets are somewhat lively.

Of course, compared to other cities, the liveliness of this Ancient Holy City might not amount to much.

After all, most people who can walk in this city are strong individuals possessing not weak strength.

Even though such a gathering is rare at this moment, it still cannot fill the entire Ancient Holy City.

And Lin Feng and the other, following that old man, shuttled through the city for about ten minutes before reaching the city center.

Here stands a manor pavilion occupying an extremely vast area.

At the manor's gate, there is a constant stream of people coming and going.

However, the strong aura emanating from these passersby indicates that they are not ordinary individuals.

When the thin old man arrived at the manor's gate, he immediately said to the several Ancient Clan guards standing there: 'These two are guests; I will bring them in to reside, you just need to register their names as Lin Feng.'

However, while speaking, the former did not pause at all, walking straight inside.

As for Lin Feng and the other, they said nothing, merely following the former silently.

After smoothly entering the manor, the thin old man grabbed a passing maid and said to her: 'These two are guests who have come to my Ancient Clan's coming-of-age ceremony; you take them to rest.'

While speaking, the former also pointed at Lin Feng and the other.

"Yes."

The maid, seeing the thin old man's attire exclusive to Elders, immediately nodded and performed a salute.

"You two, I still have some other matters; later another maid will take you to your rooms to rest, while I will take my leave first."

As soon as his words fell, the thin old man left this place.

After all, he had already brought Lin Feng in, his goal achieved, he

continuing to stay here would be meaningless.

"Honored guests, please follow me."

Seeing the former leave, the lovely maid immediately said to Lin Feng and the other.

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng and the Ancient Dragon Clan expert both nodded, indicating for the former to lead the way.

Seeing this, the speaking maid, with a smiling demeanor, led Lin Feng and the other to a quiet side room.

Immediately after assigning a room to each person, the maid then left this place and went elsewhere.

"Lin Feng, you need to be careful now; that old man's strength is not weaker than mine. I think you have gradually come into the sight of the Ancient Clan's high-level."

Upon entering the quiet side room, the Ancient Dragon Clan expert's expression turned solemn as he warned.

"Alright, I will pay attention."

In response to the former's warning, Lin Feng likewise nodded with a solemn expression, indicating he understood.

He also knew that, having come here this time, Gu Xun'er would surely find a way to deal with him.

Therefore, he absolutely cannot be careless.

Meanwhile, while Lin Feng and the other were discussing, on a certain mist-wreathed cloud peak, a woman dressed in light cyan robes sat cross-legged amidst the thick mist.

The surrounding mist swirling made her appear like a fairy in the mist, exuding an ethereal, moving temperament.

"Miss, Young Master Xiao Yan has arrived at the Ancient Holy City."

Just as the woman sat with eyes closed in tranquility, a gaunt old figure suddenly appeared on the mountain peak and then respectfully addressed her.

As the old man's words just fell, the space beside him rippled slightly.

Immediately afterward, the blue-clad woman who had been meditating with closed eyes abruptly appeared beside the old man.

And that appearance, besides the equally Lin Feng-hating Gu Xun'er who hates him to death, who else could it be?

"Elder Ling, is he alright?"

As Gu Xun'er landed, the girl's gentle voice slowly spread through this mist.

"The current Young Master Xiao Yan is no longer something this old man can see through. According to the information I just received, Young Master Xiao Yan, at the gate of the Ancient Holy City, once had some conflicts with Ling Quan, who possesses the strength of a one-star Dou Zun."

"And now Ling Quan, in Young Master Xiao Yan's hands, cannot even withstand a single move. It seems Young Master Xiao Yan's strength is at least not inferior to a four-star Dou Zun."

When the old man spoke the information he knew, his tone involuntarily gave rise to a hint of astonishment that could not be concealed.

Back then, in the Jia Ma Empire, he had been ordered by the Miss to protect Xiao Yan, at which time the latter was merely a lowly Dou Zhe.

However, in just short ten years or so, that once tender youth has now far surpassed him, leaving him far behind.

"Miss, your vision is indeed not bad; it's just a pity that you didn't get to know Lin Feng earlier."

Thinking of that young man with astonishing battle achievements, Ling Ying involuntarily let out a sigh in her heart.

Xiao Yan, starting from the resource-poor, pitiful Wu Tan City, has step by step reached the point where he now surpasses the vast majority of Ancient Clan geniuses, which is already remarkably impressive.

But compared to Lin Feng, that truly falls far short.

Of course, what the former thinks, Gu Xun'er naturally has no knowledge of.

Upon hearing Ling Ying's astonishment, she immediately gave a faint smile.

Since she has something to do soon, she has been undergoing deep seclusion recently.

External matters rarely reach her ears.

But now, hearing that her brother Xiao Yan has grown to this extent, Gu Xun'er is also delighted from the bottom of her heart.

After all, at this age, his brother Xiao Yan has already reached this level of strength, and the potential he displays is already not inferior to a seven-tier bloodline.

Thus, the resistance within the family will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

"However, Miss, not long after Young Master Xiao Yan arrived, Lin Feng also came, and it is said he brought a Dou Saint expert from the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan. Now the clan already knows; if you wish to take this opportunity to kill him, the clan would likely not agree."

Immediately afterward, Ling Ying hesitated for a moment, then still spoke this news.

"Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan?"

Upon hearing that, Gu Xun'er's brows furrowed instantly, her gaze somewhat unfocused as she looked toward the distant sky.

I've long heard that Lin Feng and the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan have some connection, but now it seems the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan members are all willing to participate in this matter; the relationship between the two sides is definitely more than just a little.

Terms: Lin Feng, Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan. Also maybe "relationship" is not a name. So we have those.

After a long silence, Gu Xun'er's voice faintly came through.

Term: Gu Xun'er.

Upon hearing that, Ling Ying could only lower their head further, pretending not to have heard.

Term: Ling Ying

After all, this matter is no longer something his petty Dou Sect can participate in.

However, upon thinking of another matter, Ling Ying immediately spoke again: 'However, Miss, you need not worry; now Young Master Qingyang has already promised you. He will go to the Ancient Sacred City to meet Lin Feng and dampen his morale. Surely, even if other forces intervene, but if the bet is set on the arena, even the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan cannot deny it.'

'At that time, Miss, you can likewise help Xiao Yan obtain the other's heavenly fire. And Lin Feng, by forcibly stripping his own heavenly fire, will inevitably suffer irreparable damage to his foundation. By then, he will surely be left far behind by you and Xiao Yan.'

As he spoke, a hint of confidence flickered across Ling Ying's aged face.

As his personal bodyguard, he naturally understood perfectly why his Miss wished Lin Feng dead.

Although Lin Feng has the protection of a Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan expert, they are now somewhat helpless.

But if the younger generation fights among themselves and Lin Feng ends up defeated, then there's nothing to say about it.

'Hehe, I think the same. After all, in this Ancient Realm, I believe no one under heaven would dare break their promise.'

As the former's words fell, Gu Xun'er's lips curled slightly, from the passage.

And just after she finished speaking, she immediately turned and faced Ling Ying, saying: 'Elder Ling, what exactly is Lin Feng's current cultivation level?'

'This is because something on his person obscures him; I have consulted several Dou Venerables, but none could see his strength clearly. And those Dou Saint elders, I cannot approach. Therefore, I currently have no concrete information about Lin Feng's cultivation.'

'But from his great battle eight months ago, he was already at the level of a five-star Dou Venerable cultivator to estimate. Now Lin Feng's strength is probably not less than that of a seven-star Dou Venerable.'

While speaking, Ling Ying's tone also carried a hint of astonishment.

Such strength almost matches their ancient clan's eight-tier bloodline.

Such talent, among those who do not possess Dou Emperor bloodline, is indeed already considered terrifying!

However, during this period, Ling Ying has not met Xiao Yan.

At the same time, Xiao Yan cannot possibly disclose the specific details of the Flame Mantra to outsiders.

Therefore, this also leads to his insufficient understanding of Lin Feng, and naturally his estimates have a larger deviation.

'Lin Feng cultivates the same mysterious technique as Xiao Yan's older brother, capable of absorbing multiple heavenly fires. And from seeing how Xiao Yan's older brother's strength surges greatly each time he absorbs a heavenly fire, it is evident that this mysterious technique allows the practitioner's strength to increase through absorbing heavenly fires.'

'I don't know whether Lin Feng has obtained any new heavenly fire during this time. If he has, and it is a decently ranked heavenly fire, then Gu Qingyang might face a risk of defeat.'

Seeing that the former had not obtained concrete information about Lin Feng's Dou Qi level, Gu Xun'er ignored him and began to speculate secretly.

And not long after, Gu Xun'er spoke again: 'Elder Ling, since you still have no concrete information about Lin Feng's strength, please trouble yourself to make another trip to the Ancient Sacred City, observe Lin Feng and Gu Qingyang's battle scene together with other Dou Venerables. Afterwards, you will tell me what you have seen, along with others' speculations.'

'Hehe, serving the Miss is my duty; I would not dare call it trouble.'

Upon hearing this, Ling Ying's heart was instantly filled with deep emotion.

Immediately afterward, he respectfully bowed and said: 'Then I will now make another trip to the Ancient Sacred City; as soon as I receive news, I will return immediately to inform the Miss.'

As soon as his words fell, Ling Ying immediately turned, his body shooting upward at full speed toward the exit of the Ancient Realm.

'Lin Feng, you have repeatedly provoked Xiao Yan's older brother, snatched his teacher's Bone Spirit Cold Fire and storage ring, and even severely injured him. This time, I, Gu Xun'er, will surely make you pay the price!'

Thinking of the grievance suffered by her older brother Xiao Yan, Gu Xun'er's heart instantly filled with endless killing intent.

Her older brother Xiao Yan merely wanted a heavenly fire, yet the other side was so ruthless; Gu Xun'er simply could not swallow this anger.
