Chapter 273: 273. Chapter 273: Gu Yuan

273. Chapter 273: Gu Yuan's Urgent Summons! Bestowing the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame!

Gu Fei reached out and gently stroked the massive dragon head of the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, which was flickering with golden light.

Looking at this life form that had just gained sentience, Gu Fei felt a genuine fondness for it from the bottom of his heart.

Strangely enough, this Nine Profound Golden Lightning inexplicably gave Gu Fei a sense of intimacy.

"Little guy!"

"You wait for me here first. When you grow stronger in the future, I will come to pick you up."

Gu Fei said softly.

The Nine Profound Golden Lightning seemed to understand Gu Fei's words, and a hint of reluctance flashed in its star-like eyes.

The next moment, it gently nudged Gu Fei's palm and let out a low dragon roar, as if saying a reluctant goodbye.

Gu Fei took a deep breath.

He knew very well that the Leichi was the best environment for the Nine Profound Golden Lightning to grow.

Here, it could absorb endless thunder power and grow rapidly.

And once this little guy grew up, it would truly be a terrifying existence.

But there was no rush; growth requires a cycle.

"Elder Zhu Shang, let us go!"

The next moment, Gu Fei and Elder Zhu Shang left the Leichi together.

"Hehe, little friend Gu Fei, if you can refine the power of the Nine Profound Golden Lightning this time, I fear your cultivation will rise by another large margin!!"

On the way, Zhu Shang praised Gu Fei again.

"It is all just a matter of luck!"

Gu Fei smiled.

Naturally, he could not tell everyone that he had already known the Nine Profound Golden Lightning was about to manifest a spirit, which was why he had waited in that Leichi for half a month.

Hearing this, Zhu Shang did not say much, only nodding with satisfaction.

This young man was not only powerful but also had a good temperament; no wonder the Dragon Emperor valued him so much.

It seems that when it comes to judgment, one still has to look to the Dragon Emperor. When the two landed on Dragon Island, Zi Yan and Cai'er had already been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Gu Fei return safely, the two of them wished they could rush directly into Gu Fei's arms.

"Brother Gu Fei! Are you alright?"

Zi Yan trotted over and asked with a look of concern. Clearly, she had also sensed the unusual aura that had occurred over at the Void Lightning Pool just now.

"Rest assured, I am fine. On the contrary, I received an unexpected surprise."

Gu Fei patted Zi Yan's head and said with a smile.

"What surprise?"

Cai'er also leaned in at this moment, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity. Gu Fei recounted the process of encountering the Nine Profound Golden Lightning in the Leichi and helping it manifest its spirit.

After listening, Zi Yan and Cai'er were both shocked. "What!"

"Nine Profound Golden Lightning? Really? That is a heaven-defying opportunity!"

"When I was young, I heard people in the clan say that ordinary people wouldn't have a chance to see it even in several lifetimes."

Zi Yan exclaimed, her eyes full of envy.

"Husband, your fortune is truly heaven-defying! To be able to gain the recognition of the Nine Profound Golden Lightning and have it accept your help in separating its power—this is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity."

Cai'er also revealed a joyful expression.

"Alright, alright, you two stop flattering me."

"It's just luck. By the way, I plan to return to the Ancient Realm. Cai'er, you haven't seen the child for a long time either!"

Gu Fei smiled and waved his hand.

"Mm, I have been in seclusion for a long time; it is indeed time to go back and see them."

Hearing this, a hint of longing flashed in Cai'er's eyes. She nodded.

Hearing that the two were leaving, Zi Yan could not help but show a trace of disappointment on her face.

Although she really wanted to go back with Gu Fei, as the Dragon Emperor, it was not suitable for her to stay in the Ancient Clan for a long time.

"With our current strength, a round trip doesn't take long. If you want to see me, you can come anytime!"

Gu Fei saw through Zi Yan's thoughts and gently pulled her into his arms. "Mm, Brother Gu Fei, go back, I will miss you!"

Zi Yan rubbed against Gu Fei's chest and said in a spoiled manner.

"I will miss you too!"

Gu Fei gently stroked Zi Yan's hair and comforted her softly.

After reluctantly saying goodbye to Zi Yan, Gu Fei and Cai'er embarked on the journey back to the Ancient Realm.

Along the way, the two chatted about their experiences during this period, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

When the two returned to the Ancient Realm, the sky had already darkened. At this moment, the moonlight poured down like water, as if shrouding the entire Ancient Realm in a layer of silver gauze. "Mother!"

As soon as Gu Fei and Cai'er stepped onto the mountain peak, a childish voice reached their ears.

They saw a figure rush over like an arrow released from a bow, diving straight into Cai'er's arms.

"Wushuang, did you miss Mother?"

Cai'er reached out and picked up the child, a loving smile appearing on her face.

"Missed! Wushuang misses Mother every day!"

Wushuang nodded vigorously, tears of excitement sparkling in his eyes.

"Silly child."

"Rest assured, Mother won't leave you for so long again in the future."

Cai'er kissed Wushuang's cheek with a heart full of tenderness and comforted her in a soft voice.

"Auntie!"

Just at this moment, another sweet voice came over.

"Auntie, Xianle has missed you too!"

Xianle was seen skipping and hopping over, her face brimming with a radiant smile.

She grabbed onto Cai'er's leg, tilted her little face up, and acted spoiled.

Cai'er reached out her jade-like hand and gently stroked Xianle's now-matured face: "Xianle, you're a big girl now, and you're getting prettier and prettier!"

"Ah, really..."

Being praised by Cai'er, joy appeared on Xianle's face.

Immediately, she glared fiercely at Wushuang, because not long ago, Wushuang was still complaining that she was becoming increasingly fierce, lacked any femininity, and wouldn't be able to get married when she grew up.

"Sister Cai'er, you're back!"

Before long, Xiao Yixian, Qing Lin, and the others also hurried over.

Everyone spoke one after another, expressing their longing; Gu Fei stood to the side, watching this heartwarming scene, and a warm current could not help but rise in his heart.

This is the feeling of home; thinking of this, the corners of Gu Fei's mouth lifted slightly, and he sat down to the side; however, this warm atmosphere did not last long; "Young Clan Leader!"

"Young Clan Leader, the Clan Leader and the various Elders are in the main hall, please go over there!"

Just as Gu Fei was preparing to take everyone back to rest, an Elder hurried over.

Hearing this, Gu Fei's brows furrowed slightly.

The Clan Leader is looking for him? Could it be... that some movement from the Soul Clan has been discovered? Or perhaps... the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan have already met with misfortune? Thinking of this, Gu Fei's heart tightened involuntarily.

"You all go back and rest for a while; the Clan Leader must have something to call me for, I will go over."

Gu Fei turned his head and said to Cai'er and the others.

Cai'er nodded and led the children away first.

Gu Fei followed the Elder and walked toward the main hall where the Clan Leader was located; along the way, thoughts surged in Gu Fei's heart.

The Soul Clan has always been the greatest threat to the Ancient Clan; if there really is any unusual movement, the situation might be very serious.

Moreover, if it were not an urgent matter, given the Clan Leader's personality, he probably would not be in such a rush to see him; not long after, Gu Fei arrived in front of a magnificent, golden hall.

Pushing open the heavy hall doors, Gu Fei strode inside; within the hall, Gu Yuan sat high in the primary seat, his gaze sweeping over those below with majesty.

The other Elders of the Ancient Clan were also present.

But why does this atmosphere feel a bit strange? (End of this chapter)
