Chapter 1107: The Colorful Scales Emerge from the Sect

Thinking of the terrible poison gas on that white‑clad woman, Xiao Yan's vigilance went to the max, and he looked across, sneering: "No wonder you're a Calamity Poison Body; with such tactics, if I didn't have Exotic Fire, I probably would have fallen into your hands."

Having said that, his soul energy swiftly burst through his body, scanning the surroundings.

Finding no trace of Lin Feng and the other women, he immediately mocked: "What, that Lin Feng fellow sees me arrive, hides with his other woman and dares not come out, and lets you alone go out to die?"

As he spoke, his voice, amplified by Xiao Yan's deliberate use of Dou Qi, spread rapidly.

Hearing that, Xiao Yixian gave a contemptuous smile, then slowly said: "Where my husband goes, I don't need to report to you, an irrelevant person. As for you, why do you think that having broken through to Dou Saint lets you barge in to kill and silence people, covering up your crime of stealing Dou Techniques?"

Since the other side is also their mortal enemy, and they struck first, Xiao Yixian tipped her hat without a hint of remorse.

"Bastard, you…"

Hearing the other turn the tables, Xiao Yan's chest heaved violently with anger.

If the opponent hadn't been so strong—indeed a bit stronger than him—he would have killed them before they even opened their mouth.

And that is indeed the purpose of his coming this time.

But who knew the opponent had also broken through to Dou Saint!

After all, on this Dou Qi continent, everyone places great value on their unique skills and family inheritances.

If he were to have that hat taken by the opponent and be proven guilty,

then across the vast Zhongzhou Continent, few would be willing to deal with him.

At that point, Xiao Yan would likely become a recluse with hardly anyone willing to associate with him.

After all, no one wants their family legacy or unique skill targeted by someone with a criminal record!

And if this situation were placed on Blue Star, it would be like a country with fifty states in North America suddenly targeting your family, draining your wealth, borrowing everywhere for a newly bought oil field in Africa—wouldn't you panic?

"Hehe, don't think that reaching the peak of a one‑star Dou Saint lets you bully others at will. Who is Brother Xiao Yan? How could I not know? He could never do such a thing."

When Gu Xun'er saw Xiao Yixian daring to insult her brother Xiao Yan, she immediately stepped forward, her gaze full of murderous intent toward the latter.

Hearing that, Xiao Yixian instantly retorted coldly: "You slut, being Xiao Yan's woman, naturally only pick information useful to him—how could I not know who my husband is? This is Xiao Yan stealing my husband's techniques."

"You!"

Hearing the other turn his earlier words back on him, Gu Xun'er instantly flared with rage.

On her pretty face, murderous intent filled her expression toward the former.

At the same time, she shifted her steps lightly, slowly walking toward Xiao Yixian.

And as she walked, her aura grew increasingly formidable.

Clusters of scorching Dou Qi, bearing a world‑destroying aura, continuously surged from her body, enveloping the heavens and earth.

As for the blue‑clad elder standing behind Gu Xun'er, upon hearing her call the lady a slut, his brows twitched slightly.

There was no hindrance at all to Gu Xun'er's intent to strike Xiao Yixian.

After all, a woman daring to insult a member of the Gu clan must naturally receive appropriate punishment.

However, Xiao Yixian showed no fear when Gu Xun'er approached slowly.

When the two stepped forward, she merely lifted the corner of her mouth and laughed: "One is an early‑stage one‑star Dou Saint, the other a late‑stage one‑star Dou Saint, and both wield powerful Exotic Fire. Looks like I indeed need to find some allies."

While speaking, she quickly placed a hand into her soft lips, gave a gentle blow, and a whistle sounded across the sky.

Seeing the former's action, Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er both frowned, as if sensing a call for help.

After a swift glance at each other, they almost simultaneously extended a hand.

In an instant, the Dou Qi within a several‑hundred‑mile radius stirred restlessly as Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er acted.

"Imperial Seal Formula, Five Seals Unite!"

"Imperial Seal Formula, Five Seals Unite!"

Since Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er are both Dou Saints now, casting such Dou Technique requires little effort; in a flash, five light seals condensed on their hands, merged instantly, and shot out toward Xiao Yixian.

"Shadow‑Slicing Sword Art·Gale!"

Yet, as the two light seals flew, a crisp yet slightly gentle female voice rang across the sky.

Immediately, two sword‑qi blades hundreds of zhang long streaked across the sky, slashing the space along their path, suddenly appearing before the two light seals.

"Boom! Boom!"

The next moment, the two light seals were sliced apart by the sword‑qi with a sweeping crack, exploding in a thunderous roar that echoed sharply high above.

"Whoosh!"

At the same time, a woman in a teal dress, exquisitely graceful, flashed into view beside Xiao Yixian.

"Yun Yun, you too have become a Dou Saint!"

Seeing the woman he had met a few times before, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with astonishment.

After all, twelve years ago when he went to Yun Lan Sect to fulfill a three‑year pact, the other was merely a Dou Emperor, and from the remote Jia Ma Empire.

Yet in just twelve short years, the other skyrocketed from Dou Emperor to the current Dou Saint realm!

And judging by the aura, it's even a notch stronger than him!

"Xiao Yan, you keep coming to trouble us; you really think we're easy to bully?"

After planting her feet, Yun Yun twirled a sword flourish, planting the teal long sword behind her, her beautiful eyes glaring at the two ahead.

"Bodhi Heart!"

"Surely it's Bodhi Heart!"

"That Lin Feng fellow and those bastards must have obtained the Bodhi Heart!"

Xiao Yan's eyes flickered wildly, then as if recalling something, his face darkened sharply, and he gritted his teeth: "No wonder, no wonder those Lin Feng types have vanished completely within a year; they were actually secluding themselves to break through to Dou Saint!"

At this moment, even if he no longer believed, he could only think of the Bodhi Heart.

After all, the white‑clad Xiao Yixian breaking through to Dou Saint can be explained by her having attained the Hundred‑Life Reincarnation, boosting her strength, then during the year she vanished, acquiring many poisons, and finally advancing to Dou Saint through the Calamity Poison Body.

As for Yun Yun, though her talent is decent, even in the remote corners of the Jia Ma Empire she could break through to Dou Emperor in her thirties.

But nevertheless, she could not have broken to the current Dou Saint level within just twelve years.

And when Gu Xun'er heard the three words "Bodhi Heart", her expression changed instantly, and a tremendous wave of shock surged in her heart.

If that's really the case, how did they obtain so many Bodhi Hearts?

Moreover, according to ancient records, the Bodhi Ancient Tree appears once every thousand years, and each time it appears, does it not give birth to only a single Bodhi Heart?

"Wait, this appearance of the Bodhi Ancient Tree seems to be different from previous ones!"

Soon, Gu Xun'er understood that the situation recorded in those ancient texts was the normal once-every-thousand-years appearance of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

But this time, the Bodhi Ancient Tree reappeared only after an interval of tens of thousands of years.

If we calculate according to the Bodhi Ancient Tree producing one Bodhi Heart every thousand years, then it should have stored over a dozen Bodhi Hearts!

Thinking of this, Gu Xun'er's expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

After all, if Lin Feng's group had only obtained two or three, that would be fine, but if everyone had obtained a Bodhi Heart...

This situation is certainly not what she hopes to see.

And as Gu Xun'er's face darkened, Xiao Yan beside her also reacted, the shock on his face gradually fading as he said in a low voice: "That guy Lin Feng hasn't come out all this time; he must be absorbing the energy of the Bodhi Heart."

As he spoke, a hint of ferocity began to show in his eyes.

After all, Lin Feng not coming out for so long must have some reason.

And the possibility that he has obtained a Bodhi Heart but hasn't finished absorbing its energy is the greatest.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's eyes swept over the buildings below, and the idea of causing trouble gradually solidified in his mind.

After all, if the other party is indeed in seclusion absorbing the Bodhi Heart, then if he were to forcibly wake them from their seclusion, Lin Feng might fail his breakthrough because of this, or even be severely injured by the chaotic Dou Qi surging within his body.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, as Xiao Yan extended his hand and made a grasping motion, a black giant ruler appeared in his hand.

Seeing Xiao Yan's action, Xiao Yixian and Yun Yun knew he was preparing to cause trouble.

Immediately, the two women exchanged a glance, then their delicate bodies trembled in unison, and torrents of purple-brown and green Dou Qi burst forth from within them.

Then Yun Yun pointed her long sword at Xiao Yan and said in a deep voice: "Since you're determined to cause trouble, don't blame us for being impolite."

As soon as her words fell, she recalled what her husband had said earlier.

She then turned her gaze to the blue-robed elder far behind Gu Xun'er, lightly opened her lips, and with a solemn expression said: "You ancient clan know my husband is from the Xiao Dan Tower, yet you dare to attack him; I suspect the earlier disappearance of the Spirit Clan was your doing."

"Having dealt with the Spirit Clan before, are you now looking at the Xiao Dan Tower's strong ties with the outside world, finding it inconvenient to act directly, and instead intend to use this opportunity to provoke the Xiao Dan Tower deliberately, then erase it from this world just like the Spirit Clan?"

Hearing this, the blue-robed elder's expression changed drastically.

After all, the Spirit Clan incident had already caused the ancient clan to begin drifting away from the other major Dou Emperor families, and now this green-clothed woman is dragging the matter onto the Spirit Clan's disappearance.

At this sensitive moment, this is a matter of life and death!

After all, he may not care what Lin Feng's group thinks, but he cannot afford to ignore what the other Dou Emperor families think!

Thinking of this, although the blue-robed elder was displeased with the threatening tone, he realized that with the ancient clan now suspected by the major imperial families, it was not suitable to cause trouble.

After a moment's thought, the blue-robed elder turned to Gu Xun'er and said: "Miss, we came here without permission and rashly entered their home; this indeed does not match the reputation of our ancient clan. Perhaps we should go back first."

Hearing this, Gu Xun'er instantly became unhappy.

Her Xiao Yan brother had been insulted by that white-clad vile woman earlier, and this old fellow not only refused to help her Xiao Yan brother, but also told her to go back.

"Bang!"

However, before Gu Xun'er could say anything, a seven-colored light column shot up violently from the inner city below, rushing straight into the distant heavens.

At the same time, the Dou Qi pressure emanating from that light column instantly caused the four one-star Dou Saint experts—Gu Xun'er, Xiao Yan, Xiao Yixian, and Yun Yun—to involuntarily retreat several steps.

Afterward, everyone abruptly lifted their heads, gazing in astonishment at the colored light column that shot straight up from a cultivation chamber below into the high sky.

"This is the peak of three-star Dou Saint!"

Seeing the distant seven-colored light column, the blue-robed elder's expression changed dramatically in an instant.

Although the person who emitted that light column is somewhat weaker than her, the location of their breakthrough clearly indicates they are also from Lin Feng's side.

Now that side already has at least three Dou Saints, and one of them is only a step below his level.

If he were to be held up by them, and if something were to happen to the ancient clan's god-tier bloodline genius, he would bear an inescapable guilt even in death!

Thinking of this, the elder immediately looked at Gu Xun'er with an unquestionable tone and said: "Miss, please come with me back; otherwise I will have no choice but to 'invite' you back. Moreover, I believe even the clan chief would support my approach."

"I am the god-tier bloodline of the clan, my status surpasses yours."

Speaking halfway, Gu Xun'er thought that if she were to act for her Xiao Yan brother and thus go against the clan's will, it might bring greater trouble to her Xiao Yan brother.

Furthermore, the opposing side has strangely produced another Dou Saint, and this one is far stronger than they are.

Therefore, after a quick thought in her mind, Gu Xun'er gritted her teeth and decided to temporarily endure this indignity.

Immediately afterward, she looked at Xiao Yan, gave him a glance, and then said: "Xiao Yan brother, let's leave this place for now and talk later."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Originally Xiao Yan was a bit unwilling to retreat like this, but when he saw the fierce gaze of the ancient clan elder, and considered that their side's ancient clan elder was unwilling to act, while they were sure they could not defeat the person who emitted that seven-colored light column, after weighing the pros and cons, he immediately chose to retreat temporarily.

And seeing that the former was at least aware of the situation, the ancient clan elder also breathed a great sigh of relief.

Immediately afterward, he said to Gu Xun'er: "Miss, since you have no objections, let's go."

"I understand."

Hearing this, Gu Xun'er immediately gritted her teeth and said.

As soon as her words fell, she looked toward her Xiao Yan brother.

Seeing this, he unwillingly glanced at the distant seven-colored light column, then greeted Gu Xun'er and the blue-robed elder to leave.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Afterward, Xiao Yan and the two others waved their hands, quickly opened a space wormhole, and strode into it.

"This is, Cai Lin has come out of seclusion."

Just as Xiao Yan and the others were leaving, Lin Feng, who had not come out of the room to avoid revealing his strength, suddenly furrowed his brows, his tone filled with intense joy.

And upon sensing the aura coming from Cai Lin's seclusion spot, he immediately curled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Three-star Dou Saint peak, almost half a foot into the four-star Dou Saint realm. I never expected that after all this twists and turns, Cai Lin's strength has now surpassed mine."

However, in his tone there was not the slightest hint of disappointment.

After all, the stronger Cai Lin's power is, the smoother his subsequent plans can be carried out.

Whoosh!

As Lin Feng chuckled lightly, the rainbow pillar in the sky immediately retreated swiftly back into the cultivation chamber.

Soon after, a bewitchingly beautiful slender figure flashed across the sky in an instant, finally arriving beside Xiao Yixian and Yun Yun.

"Huh, I didn't expect that after my seclusion, you two have also broken through to the Dou Saint realm!"

Sensing Xiao Yixian's and Yun Yun's current strength, the alluring eyes of Cai Lin flickered with a trace of surprise.

After all, the reason she could leap from the Dou Zun Realm to the Dou Saint realm so rapidly was thanks to that Eight-Star Dou Saint-level demonic core.

That demonic beast, although its bloodline differed, prevented her from inheriting its bloodline inheritance.

Yet her strength surged from the Dou Zun Realm all the way to the pinnacle of a three-star Dou Saint, and she was almost able to fully step into the four-star Dou Saint!

But regarding the two women before her, Xiao Yixian's case is easier, since she is an afflicted poisonous body; if luck is on her side and she can find enough toxins, she can indeed ascend to the Dou Saint quickly.

But for Yun Yun, she can be certain that the other party has no special constitution!

How could their strength have skyrocketed within just two or three years, directly reaching the mid‑level one‑star Dou Saint that she perceives now.

And Xiao Yixian, seeing the former's doubt, immediately pursed her lips slightly, then gently smiled, "Cai Lin, I know you have many questions; we'll discuss them when we return."

After speaking, she turned her head toward Yun Yun and continued, "Sister Yun Yun, as for here, I'll leave it to you to handle."

As soon as the words fell, she grasped Cai Lin's delicate hand and whooshed away from the spot.

Yun Yun, seeing the two women depart, instantly gave a gentle smile, sheathed her azure longsword, and began to soothe the crowd in the city below.

Meanwhile, in the room where Lin Feng was, Cao Ying saw Xiao Yan and the others leave, then furrowed her dark eyebrows slightly, unwillingly saying, "Now, shall we just let Xiao Yan depart like that?"

Hearing that, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and reassured, "Now is not the time for a fleeting thrill, especially with that vile woman Gu Xun'er present; it's not good for us, and we also cannot kill them all."

"Our current main goal is to, while the outside world is still uncertain of our strength, swiftly settle the matters concerning the Nine Nether Python Tribe and the Ancient Dragon Clan."
