Chapter 190: Stop, you piece of trash, you have no right to watch the ceremony!

Fortunately, after the flesh and blood were burned away, the terrifying, strange energy within the Pill diffused out once more, allowing the flesh and blood to regrow.

Moreover, the speed at which the flesh and blood grew was becoming faster and faster; eventually, one could almost only see the granulation tissue writhing rapidly.

Before long, a blood-blurred human silhouette also rapidly took shape.

This burning and growth continued for another few hours, and upon that flesh and blood, the skin tissue finally took complete shape.

Accompanying the generation of that skin, at this very moment, the skeleton on the stone platform had also completely transformed into the form of a living person.

"I never imagined there could be such a miraculous thing in this world, capable of bringing the dead back to life!"

Some sect experts from the Central Plains were, at this moment, extremely reverent toward Gu Fei.

"Alright, for the time that follows, he needs to merge with this body himself; during this period, it is best that no one comes to disturb him..."

Seeing this situation, Gu Fei withdrew the Exotic Fire into his body and gave instructions to Xuan Kongzi, who was at his side.

The onlookers surrounding them finally began to disperse at this time; after a night's time, they could be considered to have feasted their eyes, having watched the scene of the master Gu Fei personally saving someone.

"Husband, you have been concentrating on driving the Exotic Fire all night; you must be tired!"

"The Adult Ceremony is coming up soon!"

Xiao Yixian and Cai'er walked on Gu Fei's left and right sides; among them, Cai'er wiped the beads of sweat from Gu Fei's forehead, while Xiao Yixian took out a brand-new robe for Gu Fei and draped it over him.

By the time the few of them walked out of the great hall, it was no longer dark outside, and the sky was turning a fish-belly white.

This Ancient Saint Mountain Range also became lively at this moment; figures flashed across the sky one after another, and various festive sounds of gongs and drums resounded over the mountain range.

"Brother Gu Fei, wait for me!"

Xun Er had watched Gu Fei save Yao Lao the entire time, and after Gu Fei left, she hurriedly followed.

She could also be considered one of the protagonists of today's Adult Ceremony.

During the bloodline test many years ago, her bloodline grade had already far exceeded that of ordinary clansmen.

Today's Adult Ceremony.

Xun Er was very confident that she would reach the level of the God-Grade Bloodline, the only one of its kind in the Ancient Clan in a thousand years.

"Xun Er..."

On Xiao Yan's side, he turned his head and took a look.

When he saw Xun Er chasing after Gu Fei, a layer of bitterness unconsciously permeated his heart.

Previously, upon hearing that Xun Er had already been married once, he had felt extremely uncomfortable.

It was just that there were too many people at the time, and he had important matters to attend to upon coming to the Ancient Realm this time, so he forcibly suppressed that emotion.

At this moment, with Yao Lao's matter mostly resolved, the feeling of discomfort in his heart could finally no longer be suppressed.

Recalling the time back in Wutan City, Xun Er had been especially clingy toward him; even when his cultivation regressed and he was mocked by everyone, Xun Er had never looked down on him and had always encouraged him.

Until later, when Xun Er left the Xiao family, she had still been in contact with him, sending him all kinds of things to help him cultivate.

His feelings for Xun Er had actually long since ceased to be the kind of feelings between siblings.

And now, before he had even had the chance to take any action, Xun Er had already been married.

Although Xun Er had now been divorced by Gu Fei, judging by her state, she seemed to still be unable to forget Gu Fei and wanted to reconcile.

At the thought of these things, Xiao Yan's heart ached so much that it was unbearable, and he pressed his palm against his chest.

"Let us also go out and let the old fellow stay inside in peace; as for what comes next, it depends on the old fellow himself. If he persists, he will be able to truly be reborn from the fire..."

After Xuan Kongzi arranged some things, he led Venerable Feng and Xiao Yan to walk outside.

He also set up a Seal in the great hall to prevent others from accidentally breaking in and disturbing him.

"If she truly still likes Gu Fei, I will bury this love deep in my heart... but if she ever turns back one day, even if I encounter more difficulties, I will pursue her..." After coming out, Xiao Yan made a secret resolution in his heart, and then he also planned to go watch the Adult Ceremony.

After exiting the great hall, Gu Fei led Xiao Yixian and Cai'er toward the center of the massive plaza, which was completely shrouded in an ancient aura.

He did not stop, not caring in the slightest about Xun Er, who was jogging to catch up behind him.

Around that ancient plaza, there were layers of Black Annihilation Army soldiers clad in black armor standing straight, their sharp gazes as keen as hawks, constantly scanning back and forth in the surroundings.

"Greetings, Lord Gu Fei!"

"Greetings, Lord Gu Fei!"

When these Black Annihilation Army soldiers saw Gu Fei walking over, they all bowed very respectfully.

Over these years, although Gu Fei had not gone to the Black Annihilation Army to continue competing for a higher position.

Yet, following the retirement of the previous generation of Black Annihilation Army high-level officials, and after Gu Qingyang, Gu Yao, and others ascended to the four great Chief Commander positions, because no one felt they could surpass Gu Fei, they automatically left one Chief Commander position vacant and added it to Gu Fei.

Regarding this decision, everyone in the Black Annihilation Army was completely convinced; after all, back then, Gu Fei had easily defeated the Asura Commander Gu Yao, and now, Gu Fei had long since stepped into the Half-Saint realm before Gu Yao and Gu Qingyang.

With such achievements, who would not be convinced?

"Hmm!"

Facing the salutes, Gu Fei also nodded slightly to acknowledge them, then walked in composedly.

Behind the three of them, Xun Er also walked in with firm steps.

However, when Xiao Yan came over here, the sound of long spears clashing heavily rang out.

It turned out that two Black Annihilation Army soldiers clad in golden armor had used their long spears to block both Xiao Yan and Venerable Feng.

"Stop, this area is a special zone; those who are not of this clan and those not specially invited by this clan are not permitted to enter here..."

The two golden-armored soldiers said in unison.

"We came together with the Pill Tower and were invited by your Ancient Clan; is this the way your Ancient Clan treats guests?"

Being blocked, Xiao Yan was immediately very annoyed and wanted to argue his case.

"Heh, the Pill Tower is the Pill Tower; as for the two of you, you haven't reached that qualification yet!"

Xiao Yan's attempt to argue his case was met with the ruthless mockery of the two golden-armored soldiers.

Just as Xiao Yan was embarrassed and at a loss for what to do, a young man from the Ancient Clan walked over and said something to the two golden-armored soldiers.

"Letting him go in to make a fool of himself is fine too..."

Immediately, those two men revealed inexplicable smiles on their faces, lowered their long spears, and began to let him pass.

Although Xiao Yan sensed something was amiss, he believed that the people of the Ancient Clan would not lay a hand on a guest attending the ceremony on such an occasion.

Not long after Xiao Yan entered the plaza, he discovered that there seemed to be quite a few people from the Ancient Clan looking at him with schadenfreude.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan felt a chill on his body, and he turned his gaze sharply.

At the end of his line of sight, a figure exuding an intense intent to kill sat cross-legged.

This person's hair was black and white in color.

His entire body radiated an icy aura.

Xiao Yan did not yet know that Guli, who had gone to the Jia Ma Empire to kill him back then, was merely a small-fry; the one who truly wanted to kill him was this man before his eyes, who made one feel cold at a single glance.
