Chapter 239: Strong Experts of All Clans Appear, Winds Rise and Clouds Surge!

Gu Fei and Hun Miesheng locked eyes, and an invisible pressure permeated the air.

However, at this moment, although both Gu Fei and Hun Miesheng were clearly Five-Star Dou Sheng, they both tacitly chose to display only the strength of a Four Star Late Stage.

A moment later, both sides withdrew their gazes, and that invisible collision came to an end.

"The people from the Ancient Clan have really come!"

The two people beside Hun Miesheng frowned deeply.

"The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame is no ordinary Exotic Fire; even my Soul Clan yearns for it, so the Ancient Clan is naturally the same..."

Hun Miesheng slowly opened his mouth, emitting a hoarse voice.

"The two who came from the Ancient Clan this time are both at the Four-Star Dou Sheng cultivation level; now, it seems we of the Soul Clan are the weaker side..."

Hun Feng, who had come with Hun Miesheng, looked at Gu Fei and his companion with a face full of wariness.

He was the Young Clan Leader of the Soul Clan, but his cultivation was only at the Two-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage; compared to a monster like Gu Fei, the gap in combat power was vast.

Furthermore, since Gu Nanhai was also a veteran Four-Star Dou Sheng, he worried that if a fight truly broke out, his Soul Clan side would be at a disadvantage.

"Young Clan Leader, you need not worry too much. The Hall Master has already been at the Four-Star Dou Saint Peak for many years; dealing with Gu Nanhai and that greenhorn Gu Fei will naturally be no problem!"

The last of the three shook his head and said.

"That is only natural..."

Hearing this, Hun Feng nodded, half-believing, and smiled: "There is an agreement between our Ancient Races that experts who have reached the level of Five-Star Dou Sheng or above cannot act as they please. The Hall Master happens to be right at this threshold, and among those of the same level, there are indeed few who can defeat him."

"Those great beings, although they have not appeared, must still be watching this place!"

Listening to the flattery of the two, Hun Miesheng smiled faintly, yet he raised his head and looked toward the void, as if someone were lurking in that empty space.

"When do we make a move?"

Hun Feng glanced around, knowing that the Soul Clan experts might have other arrangements, and spoke up at this moment.

"Wait... wait for the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame to destroy the Seal. This will consume a lot of its energy. When it is about to break through and emerge, we will strike..."

Hun Miesheng clasped his rough hands together and said, appearing full of confidence.

"Young Clan Leader, I fear there are few in this world who can subdue a thing like the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. As long as it does not fall into the hands of the Soul Clan this time, that would be for the best..."

Gu Nanhai's attitude toward Gu Fei had completely changed at this moment; he no longer used the tone of an elder as before, but rather like a subordinate reporting to a superior.

All of this was because of the change in Gu Fei's strength; the current Gu Fei was not only the Young Clan Leader of the Ancient Clan but also a Five-Star Dou Sheng.

In the past, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame had also emerged, but it was never successfully subdued.

The Space Seal here was set by Jinglian Yaosheng and was extremely miraculous.

Even if the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame could destroy it for a short time, once it paused, the Seal would automatically absorb the energy of heaven and earth to repair itself, thereby continuing to imprison it.

There was nothing wrong with what Gu Nanhai said, but Gu Fei's goal was not as simple as just preventing the Soul Clan from obtaining it.

On this trip, he was determined to obtain the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame; no one could stop him.

"Elder Nanhai, the Demon Fire has not been subdued for so many years; don't you find it a pity?"

Once Gu Fei said this, Gu Nanhai understood Gu Fei's determination.

"If the Young Clan Leader wishes to subdue the Demon Fire, I, Gu Nanhai, will risk my old life to assist the Young Clan Leader in achieving it!" Gu Nanhai said sincerely.

While the two were talking, another scorching, wild wind that did not belong to the Demon Fire suddenly swept across this world.

Immediately, a crimson light appeared on the mountaintop. As the light dissipated, a group of people was revealed. The leading old man, with his red hair, was quite eye-catching.

"Huo Yun Laozu, to come and contend for the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame with such strength is truly overestimating oneself..."

Looking at the red-haired old man, Gu Fei could not help but shake his head.

Although the strength ranking of Burning Flame Valley was behind those two sects, its power was above them due to the existence of Huo Yun Laozu.

With such strength, one could accomplish great things in the Central Plains, but coming here to fight for the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was no different from being cannon fodder.

"Brother Gu Fei, you arrived so early; Huo Zhi has missed you dearly!"

A sound of air being torn rang out, and immediately, Huo Xuan and his party appeared not far from Gu Fei. Hearing Huo Xuan's words, Gu Fei felt somewhat helpless; this guy always had so much nonsense to say.

"Huo Xuan!"

"What are you spouting again?"

Behind Huo Xuan, Huo Zhi, who had her face covered by a veil, shouted loudly.

"Uh..."

Hearing this, Huo Xuan smiled and offered no explanation.

Back in the Heavenly Tomb, he had helped speak a few words for her, and after returning, he had received encouragement from Huo Zhi.

Now, in front of others, Huo Zhi had started putting on an act again.

The leader of the Yan Clan this time was a purple-robed old man who had been to the Ancient Realm before; his name was Huo Yao, and his cultivation was also at the Four-Star Dou Sheng level.

Almost all the Ancient Races, before completely tearing off the mask, needed to abide by the Ancient Clan Treaty established a thousand years ago.

"Young Master Gu Fei is truly extraordinary. In just a few short years, you have actually reached the Four-Star Dou Sheng level..."

Huo Yao was a senior expert of the Yan Clan, but he was very polite when greeting Gu Fei at this moment.

One does not strike a smiling face; Gu Fei also nodded politely in response to Elder Huo Yao.

"I am truly envious..."

Huo Xuan also clicked his tongue in wonder.

"Aren't you also an Advanced Half-Saint now!"

Gu Fei smiled slightly; this Huo Xuan's improvement in strength was not bad either.

Moreover, there was an extra Exotic Fire within his body.

Presumably, it was the Yan Clan's Eight Desolations Destruction Flame, which ranked sixth on the Exotic Flame Ranking.

This actually made even Gu Fei feel envious.

He had never before obtained an Exotic Fire ranked this high.

Of course, in terms of flame power, Gu Fei's fused Exotic Fire was already capable of surpassing the Golden Emperor Incinerating Heaven Flame, which ranked fourth.

"Young Master Gu Fei, long time no see!"

Huo Zhi greeted Gu Fei with a shy expression, clearly still feeling awkward because of Huo Xuan's words, but Gu Fei remained very calm.

"For now, let us quietly wait for the best opportunity to enter the space, and then see if we can subdue that Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame..."

After the group chatted for a while, Gu Nanhai let out a long sigh and stood with his hands behind his back.

He raised his head, his gaze locked onto the distorted sky in the distance.

Terrifying high temperatures continuously spread out in waves from the fractured space.

The frequency of the milky-white radiance appearing was also increasing.

Eventually, the desert below faintly began to turn viscous, and those sand grains were actually gradually melting.

As this desert gradually transformed into magma, the sound of rushing wind echoing in the surroundings also became more frequent, with more and more experts being attracted here by the strange phenomenon.

Therefore, in just half an hour, the sky was densely packed with numerous figures.

However, most of these figures stopped at a place very far from the fractured space; only those true experts dared to approach within a thousand zhang of the fractured space, like Gu Fei, Hun Miesheng, and the others.

During this wait, people from three of the Ancient Eight Clans—the Lei Clan, the Stone Clan, and the Spirit Clan—also arrived one after another.

The last of the Ancient Races experts to appear were from the ancient Yao Clan; the three who came had all been to the Ancient Realm before, and they were Yao Tian, Yao Wangui, and Yao Tian's younger sister, Yao Ling.

"That fellow Yao Tian is quite lucky; the Yao Clan fed him a precious pill that was nearly a Nine-Rank Profound Pill, and his own strength is already at the mid-stage of One-Star Dou Sheng!"

As the three from the Yao Clan appeared, Huo Xuan could not help but click his tongue in envy and jealousy.
