Chapter 194: Want to kill me? See if you have the life to leave alive!
"In my opinion, there is nothing regrettable about this matter!"
"Back then, it was Young Master Gu Fei who couldn't endure certain things, which is why he chose to divorce his wife!"
"That matter was something Miss Xun Er brought upon herself; she went too far!"
"If not for that, with Miss Xun Er's looks and talent, who would be willing to divorce her?"
"Exactly. I heard that this time, when Xiao Yan came to the Ancient Realm, Miss Xun Er still hadn't drawn a clear boundary. Like this, what can she hope to salvage?"
"..."
"They are right. I really should keep some distance from Xiao Yan so as not to cause Brother Gu Fei to misunderstand!"
Hearing the conversations of those around her, a somewhat embarrassed Xun Er did not say a word.
Although many of these words were mocking her, they were not fabricated out of thin air.
At the very least, Xun Er agreed with some of what was said in her heart; she did not linger and walked silently back to her previous position.
"How can these people be like this?"
Watching this scene, Xiao Yan felt very angry; it was clear that Xun Er and Gu Fei had separated by mutual consent.
How did it turn into Gu Fei unilaterally divorcing his wife in the mouths of these people?
"Xun Er, these people are going too far!"
"How can they say such things about you?"
The next moment, Xiao Yan stood up and walked to Xun Er's side, wanting to comfort her.
"Alright, I know what I'm doing..."
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xun Er subconsciously waved her hand, signaling for Xiao Yan to stop.
This was the first time Xiao Yan had seen that look of impatience toward him on Xun Er's face.
This expression stung Xiao Yan deeply, feeling even worse than being mocked by others.
At this moment, he could only walk away silently.
On the high platform, Gu Fei reached out and touched the Star Plate; in just an instant, nine stars appeared on the Star Plate in succession.
Immediately following, a glimmer of golden light appeared and rapidly converged into a brilliant golden star; this star was far more dazzling than the one from Xun Er's previous test.
After this tenth star appeared, another glimmer seemed to appear beside it.
However, at this moment, the Star Plate suddenly shattered, and that scene went unnoticed by anyone.
"Heavens, it's a Ten-Star Bloodline again!"
"And this tenth star that appeared during Young Master Gu Fei's test is clearly much more dazzling than when Miss Xun Er tested just now!"
"This also means that Young Master Gu Fei's bloodline grade surpasses Miss Xun Er's!"
After the golden star appeared, almost everyone in the plaza began to lose their composure.
To have two God-Grade Bloodlines appear in the same era, each stronger than the last—if they were to grow up, what would that mean? "Haha, the heavens truly bless our Ancient Clan!"
The Elder who tested Gu Fei had a cultivation that had already reached Dou Sheng, but at this moment, his heart was uncontrollably beating faster.
"Oh~"
"Daddy is so amazing!"
Wushuang and Xiao Xianle, seeing everyone around them praising Gu Fei, cheered happily.
"Husband is truly so outstanding!"
Xiao Yixian and Cai'er also wore bright smiles on their faces; who wouldn't want their significant other to be the center of everyone's attention?
On the high platform, Gu Fei looked at the two little ones jumping and cheering for him, and he smiled and waved his hand in response.
However, the next moment, his gaze shifted to a certain corner.
There, three figures in black robes stood.
Although he could not see the faces of these three, Gu Fei still sensed a fleeting killing intent, and the system prompt confirmed that Gu Fei's perception was not wrong.
"Damn it, how is this guy's perception so sharp?" The members of the Soul Clan lowered their heads. The three of them had indeed just been discussing how to eliminate Xun Er and Gu Fei.
Because if two God-Grade Bloodlines were to grow up, it would pose a huge threat to the Soul Clan.
"If you want to kill me, then let's see if you few can leave the Ancient Realm alive..."
Gu Fei cast a cold glance.
And next, the Seven-Colored Heavenly Emperor Pen was once again brought out by the Gu Clan Elder.
"Gu Fei, are you ready?"
"Elder, let's begin!"
Gu Fei nodded, then closed his eyes, allowing the Elder to draw the Clan Mark for him.
Perhaps because Gu Fei's cultivation had also reached Dou Sheng, this drawing process appeared somewhat strenuous even for this Three-Star Dou Sheng Elder, and it was drawn very slowly.
Each stroke outlined consumed a massive amount of Dou Qi from the Elder's body.
"It is done!"
A few minutes later, hearing the Elder's voice, Gu Fei slowly opened his eyes; on his forehead appeared a gorgeous Seven-Colored Clan Mark, radiating seven-colored light.
"Thump!"
Under this erupting seven-colored light, most of the Ancient Clan members present could not suppress the immense pressure coming from the depths of their souls, and with a thump, they knelt down with fanatical expressions.
"As expected of Brother Gu Fei! The bloodline grade clearly surpasses mine by a notch..."
Xun Er sat below the platform, watching Gu Fei, who had obtained the Seven-Colored Clan Mark, very intently.
Next, she subconsciously reached out her jade hand and touched the center of her own brow.
There, there was a Seven-Colored Clan Mark exactly the same as the one on Gu Fei's brow.
In the same era, only the two of them had obtained this Seven-Colored Clan Mark, which made Xun Er cherish it very much.
"Hehe, this kid Gu Fei really didn't let us down..."
"In a few years, perhaps he will surpass us old fellows..."
In the void, those powerhouses of the Ancient Clan who were secretly observing this Adult Ceremony chatted and left after Gu Fei obtained the Seven-Colored Clan Mark.
"Let's go, Xun Er and Gu Fei have both finished testing their bloodlines, there is nothing left to see!"
Some people on the plaza also left.
"I shouldn't have come to an occasion like this!" Xiao Yan stood up, somewhat dejected, and walked toward the outside of the plaza.
He had already made up his mind that as soon as Yao Lao woke up, he would immediately leave the Ancient Realm.
Time flew by, and it was already evening.
During this period, Xuan Kongzi had been keeping watch outside a great hall.
Suddenly, he sensed some unusual movement in the Seal within the great hall.
"The Seal is loosening, it seems the old fellow has awakened!" Xuan Kongzi's face was filled with great joy.
The next moment, a familiar, aged figure slowly walked out from the entrance of the great hall.
"Teacher!"
"Old fellow, you've finally come back to life!"
Seeing this aged figure walk out, Xiao Yan and Venerable Feng were also incomparably excited.
With Yao Lao awake, as the once-renowned "Number One" Alchemist of the Central Plains, the status of Starfall Pavilion would rise to a new height.
"This time, it really is all thanks to that Young Master Gu Fei!"
After being resurrected, Yao Lao stretched his new body a little, then immediately planned to go find Gu Fei to provide the reward he had previously promised.

Everyone cast many monthly votes yesterday, which encouraged me, and I also saw many book friends urging for updates, so I must add one update today! However, I don't have any drafts saved; I will post each chapter as soon as I finish writing it, rather than releasing them all at once. (End of this chapter)
