Chapter 1150
「Young master, why not you eat it? Ying'er sister and the others can refine Nine Treasure Pills; eating more won't hurt. 」
Gazing at the pure energy emitting from the pill in his hand that made people intoxicated, Qinglin immediately shook his head, intending to return the pill.
Seeing this, Lin Feng grabbed her small hand and gripped it tightly, stopping her movement, then explained: 「Little girl, you don't understand me yet. I give it to you, so you can eat it with peace of mind. As for myself, I have other arrangements. 」
While speaking, he pushed Qinglin's small hand back again.
And Cao Ying, upon seeing this Nine Treasure Pill, couldn't help but gaze in amazement at her husband, saying: 「Husband, could it be that you have already become a Nine Treasure Pill Master? 」
「Whoosh! 」
Upon hearing the former's words, the people around all turned their heads to look at Lin Feng.
Upon hearing that, the latter shook his head and gave a wry smile: 「I've been running around earlier, I had no time to study alchemy. This Nine Treasure Pill is something I accidentally obtained from the enemy after helping Zhao Sister take revenge. 」
Upon hearing that this pill was not refined by the former, the people around instantly showed disappointed expressions.
Especially the people from East Dragon Island, they originally wanted Lin Feng to help refine pills.
But now, it seems we can only wait for the other three little girls to advance to Nine Treasure Pill Masters.
「Right, since Yun'er and Qinglin also need to go into seclusion, why not you six just all follow Zi Yan? After all, we've already fallen out with the Ancient, Flame, and Medicine Three Clans; staying outside for seclusion carries risk, so it's better to follow Zi Yan. As for the child, I can have Zhao Sister help look after them. 」
Thinking of the indignant expressions of the three-clan allied forces as they left, Lin Feng immediately said to the six women:
Upon hearing that, Zi Yan immediately patted her chest and said: 「No problem, anyway our Ancient Dragon Clan has just pacified the three major Dragon Islands; we need some strong experts to deter other forces, lest they come cause trouble. Having those six stay on Dragon Island is perfect to help me. 」
「Alright, let's do that. 」
And the six women felt this plan was also good, so they all agreed.
Seeing that the six women had been arranged, Lin Feng also didn't linger, waved his hand at everyone, and said: 「Since that's the case, I'll go attend to my own affairs; call me if anything comes up. 」
As soon as his words fell, Lin Feng's figure shot out instantly, disappearing into the dark void in a blink.
「Let's go, first we'll drag those three major Dragon Islands back, reunite the Primordial Void Ancient Dragon clan, then move our territory elsewhere so we won't be bothered again. 」
Seeing Lin Feng leave, Zi Yan's expression instantly shifted from cute to imposing, as she commanded the East Dragon Island crowd:
Having said that, she took the lead and flew toward North Dragon Island.
「Yes! 」
Upon hearing the phrase 'reuniting the Primordial Void Ancient Dragon clan' consisting of eleven characters, the strong ones of East Dragon Island instantly became energized, shouting excitedly.
And as soon as her words fell, everyone hurried to follow Zi Yan, rushing toward North Dragon Island.
「Bang! 」
Just as Zi Yan happily led her subordinates to take the final step in reuniting the Ancient Dragon Clan, deep within the Ancient Realm of the Eastern Region of Central State, an old man fiercely slammed the wooden table before him.
He immediately stood up, face full of disbelief, looking at the person opposite him, and exclaimed in shock: 「What, all the people Gu Qiuyuan brought were killed by Lin Feng and East Dragon Island combined, not a single one left? 」
「Moreover, Lin Feng not only broke through to three-star Dou Saint, but the Dragon King of East Dragon Island also advanced to four-star Dou Saint. Even the Nine Netherworld Earth Abyss Python Clan, which was about to fall from the ancient clan rankings, now has its former clan leader making a strong comeback, with strength possibly breaking through to three-star Dou Saint at any moment? 」
The more he spoke, the more agitated the former became, his face full of incredulity.
This matter truly far exceeds his understanding!
Not only him, but also several other elders nearby, as well as Gu Qingyang, whom the clan's senior leaders intended to groom for the young clan leader position, bringing his fiancée Huo Zhi, all showed equally incredulous expressions.
After all, on the Dou Qi Continent, the ancient Seven-Six Clans are supreme; when has anyone dared to kill their Ancient Clan?
Now, not only were members of their Ancient Clan killed, but the dead were two high-status Dou Saint elders from within the clan.
How could this news not shock them?
「Gu Ying, the matter is indeed like this: after Xun'er shook off the entanglement of the East Dragon Island strong ones and summoned us over, Elder Qiuyuan and his group had already perished. 」
Seeing those people not believe it, the four-star peak Dou Saint elder who had previously brought reinforcements, preparing to exterminate Lin Feng and company together with Elder Qiuyuan, also spoke bitterly.
But the elder called Gu Ying, with a stern gaze toward the former, then sternly questioned: 「Why didn't you continue calling for reinforcements to kill Lin Feng and East Dragon Island? Ma De, do I still need to teach you such a small matter? 」
「On this continent, no one has ever killed our Ancient Clan's strong ones and still roamed free! 」
As he spoke further, the elder called Gu Ying's face grew a bit more fierce.
Upon hearing that, the other elders also nodded in agreement.
Their Ancient Clan, ever since the Xiao Clan was annihilated and the Soul Clan suffered heavy blows, has never suffered such a great loss as today.
Now Lin Feng actually dares to break this balance, and even grinds his foot into their Ancient Clan's face—who could endure that?
As for Gu Qingyang and Huo Zhi, one is a junior, the other hasn't yet joined the Ancient Clan, so neither voiced their opinion.
Seeing these people's agitated appearance, another elder, also a member of the earlier reinforcements, with strength around three-star, couldn't help but wryly shake his head.
Immediately, he patiently explained: 「Elder Gu Ying, the Primordial Void Ancient Dragon and the Nine Netherworld Earth Abyss Python clans both listened to Lin Feng back then. Moreover, that guy kept saying if we continued to pressure him, he would bring those two clans to join the Soul Clan. We really have no choice! 」
「This」
Upon hearing Lin Feng would bring the Primordial Void Ancient Dragon and Nine Netherworld Earth Abyss Python clans to join the Soul Clan, Elder Gu Ying's words got stuck, and he momentarily didn't know what to say.
After all, judging from the strength shown by Lin Feng, the Primordial Void Ancient Dragon, and the Nine Netherworld Earth Abyss Python clans, if they defected to the Soul Clan, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Thinking of this, he for a moment also didn't know how to respond.
After all, if we just give up like this, our Ancient Clan lost two Dou Saint elders, yet we ourselves dare not seek revenge—where would we put our face?
But if we go cause trouble for Lin Feng, he might really defect to the Soul Clan.
By then, who knows how much the Soul Clan's strength would swell after gaining the help of Lin Feng and his followers?
By then, our Ancient Clan would likely be inferior in every way.
「Wait, we must retrieve the Storage Rings of those two Qiuyuan; they have borrowed many of our clan's secret Dou techniques, which must not be leaked. No matter what, we have to get those things back! 」
After a brief silence, Elder Gu Ying suddenly thought of the items on the two Qiuyuan persons, his expression abruptly changed, and he was about to go look for Lin Feng.
After all, if those things were leaked, it would be disastrous!
Upon hearing that, the four-star elder shook his head and said: 「That guy seems also afraid we'd jump the wall in desperation. No, he's worried about this matter; after I spoke, he directly returned the Storage Rings to us. I also inspected them, and the soul imprints on the Storage Rings show no signs of being broken. 」
Saying this, he immediately took two Storage Rings from his collar, tossed them onto the table, and continued: 「Moreover, we quickly caught up to them; they shouldn't have had time to break the soul imprints on the Storage Rings. 」
「Hmph, they're wise to submit! 」
Upon hearing that, the elder called Gu Ying let out an arrogant cold snort, then sat back down in his chair.
Extremely angry, he finally managed to regain a bit of the superiority feeling of the ancient clan from this matter.
The other party didn't dare to swallow the storage rings of Gu Qiuyuan and the two of them; it seems they are still quite afraid of their ancient clan.
Meanwhile, Gu Xun'er beside saw this situation, immediately stood up and said: "Several elders, we now know Lin Feng's strength; moreover, the other party's current development speed not only far exceeds our expectations, but they also dare to treat our ancient clan this way, killing our clan elders."
"How about this: we secretly dispatch some five-star and above Dou Saints to secretly go and kill that Lin Feng as well as the Vast Void Ancient Dragon and the Nine Netherworld Earth Dark Python Clan. In this way, we can not only get revenge, but also eliminate a highly threatening enemy, and moreover intimidate others so they dare not imitate Lin Feng's actions."
Seeing that these elders seemed unwilling to just let Lin Feng go easily, Gu Xun'er hurriedly began to fan the flames.
"This is absolutely not allowed!"
Hearing Gu Xun'er's words, the nearby Gu Qingyang, who had been quiet, immediately could no longer stay seated, hurriedly stood up to stop her.
Next, he made a bow to the other elders, then explained: "Honored elders, I as a junior should not have spoken up to disturb your discussion, but this matter involves too much; whether it succeeds or fails, it will easily arouse suspicion and alienation from other forces."
"After all, if we can this time secretly deal with Lin Feng, then earlier, wouldn't we have also done the same to the Spirit Clan?"
"By then, even if we had mouths all over our bodies, we couldn't clear our own name!"
As he spoke on, Gu Qingyang's tone also became worried.
To be honest, he knew why Gu Xun'er was doing this.
But out of some selfishness, he didn't want to speak up and expose Gu Xun'er, causing her to lose face.
At the same time, he also didn't want to fall out with her.
But if it were other matters, Gu Qingyang would still let Gu Xun'er have her way to vent his anger.
But this matter is of great importance; we cannot be careless!
And as Gu Qingyang's words fell, the scene instantly fell into an extremely oppressive silence.
"Sigh~"
After a long time passed, the elder named Gu Ying of the ancient clan immediately let out a heavy sigh.
Next, amidst the tense expressions of Gu Qingyang and Gu Xun'er, he slowly spoke to break the silence: "This matter, for now let it be; later we will find an opportunity to take it back."
While speaking, the former turned his body and silently walked toward the door.
At the same time, when Gu Ying's words left his mouth, he seemed to instantly age a thousand years, and even his stature seemed to have stooped considerably.
And the other elders, seeing this, didn't say anything; they just quietly followed.
"Whoosh~"
Seeing that the former had not been blinded by anger, Gu Qingyang also let out a great sigh of relief.
If the clan really sent out troops to continue provoking Lin Feng, and if they failed to wipe him out completely, who knows what would happen.
However, seeing those elders being persuaded by the other side, Gu Xun'er couldn't help but glare hatefully at Gu Qingyang.
"This guy, could he possibly not know her plan?"
"Knowing not to help her would be one thing, but he actually came to cause trouble, persuading these elders!"
And as Gu Ying had just reached the door, his body suddenly stopped, then he calmly said: "Right, Qingyang, starting tomorrow you should come to the Council of Elders to learn how to handle clan affairs. After all, our ancient clan will always be taken over by you youngsters. Learning these early will let you handle clan affairs more quickly when we old-timers step down."
"What?!"
Upon hearing his words, not only Gu Qingyang but also those elders were greatly startled.
Because they fully understood what this statement meant.
But they seemed to have no authority to do this!
And Gu Ying seemed to know everyone's thoughts; after speaking, he continued to add: "Don't worry, I will tell the others; for now, only the clan chief hasn't nodded yet. But I believe the clan chief is certainly a person who sees the big picture and will not sacrifice the whole ancient clan for personal gain."
As his words fell, Gu Ying continued walking forward, finally disappearing at the edge of sight amidst Gu Qingyang's complex gaze and Gu Xun'er's incredulous look.
"Hmph, Gu Qingyang, you deep-thinking bastard, are you satisfied now?"
Watching the disappearing Gu Ying, Gu Xun'er immediately flicked her sleeve heavily and then strode off angrily toward the door.
This time, it almost made the two big fat lumps in front of her explode from anger.
Earlier, the campaign to exterminate East Dragon Island failed; afterward, she was hunted for a long time by the powerful ancient dragon clan led by Lin Feng.
Now, having returned to the clan, and with the death of Gu Qiuyuan, she finally saw a hope of the clan taking action.
Taking over Gu Qingyang this bastard, he came out to cause trouble at the critical moment.
Setting aside personal grudges and the matter with Xiao Yan's brother, leaving Lin Feng to develop like this will likely only breed greater disaster!
This is the intuition she gained from suffering losses many times in her battles with Lin Feng together with Xiao Yan's brother.
But these old fogeys have courage smaller than a mouse's; all they know is to appease.
"Damn, a bunch of retarded old things, useless waste!"
Thinking of this, Gu Xun'er rarely cursed at those elders in her heart.
Because this time, death really made her furious.
This bunch of old fogeys, don't they know the principle of nipping danger in the bud?
"Xun'er."
And Gu Qingyang, seeing that the person he liked misunderstood him and even seemed to resent him greatly, hurriedly chased after her departing direction.
After all, for Gu Xun'er, the feeling in his heart couldn't change that quickly.
"If you keep chasing after me, then let's end it here; have someone send me back to the Flame Clan. As for the marriage alliance, let's not discuss it anymore."
Just as Gu Qingyang had just lifted his leg, a voice without discernible emotion from a woman slowly sounded behind him.
Hearing it, Gu Qingyang's steps immediately slowed.
Quick-witted as he was, he soon guessed that Huo Zhi was upset seeing him care so much for Gu Xun'er.
After all, regardless of liking, he has always been her fiancé.
Him continuing to treat Xun'er the same as before every day, Huo Zhi getting angry is also inevitable.
After all, his actions will undoubtedly cause her to be laughed at by her own clan's people.
In the future, how will Huo Zhi still establish herself in the ancient clan?
But thinking about how he is now misunderstood by Xun'er, if it is not resolved, given his understanding of Xun'er's temperament.
Gu Qingyang dared to assert that Xun'er would definitely contend with him for power and profit later, so that she could obtain greater power to do what she wants.
And if he is pushed by the Elder to contend with Xun'er, the Ancient Clan, already in a tumultuous autumn, will surely erupt into greater chaos!
Having thought of this, Gu Qingyang immediately turned his head to explain to Huo Zhi: "Huo Zhi, I will go make things clear with Xun'er; otherwise, if this misunderstanding continues, I understand her temperament, and she will surely contend with me later, thereby causing even greater chaos!"
While speaking, Gu Qingyang this time had no hesitation whatsoever, and directly ran off in the direction where Gu Xun'er had left.
"Call me by my full name; call her Xun'er—I know nothing about her likes and personality, yet I know her inside out. Although I also extremely dislike this marriage, I was still forced by the clan to come here, but your attitude, heh, you really are my wonderful fiancé!"
Huo Zhi's crimson eyes coldly stared in the direction Gu Qingyang had gone; thereafter, the corner of her mouth hidden by the sheer gauze involuntarily curled into a sneering smile.
Immediately afterward, she also rose to her feet and walked step by step toward the outside of the door.
At the same time she withdrew her gaze, she couldn't help but mock in her heart: "Although in all aspects aside from cultivation you are superior to that Gu Xun'er and more suited to sit as Chief of the Ancient Clan, yet in matters of affection, you and that Gu Xun'er, I see, are hardly different."
