292. Chapter 292: The Crisis of the Spirit Clan!

Watching Ling Xi's joyful expression, Gu Fei calculated inwardly.

This trip back to the Spirit Clan, besides letting Ling Xi visit her relatives, was also an opportunity to observe the situation of the Spirit Clan.

If the Soul Clan really intended to make a move against the Spirit Clan, preparations must be made in advance. However, for Ling Xi, it was truly happiness from the bottom of her heart.

Gu Fei naturally understood that this girl had lost both her parents.

She had been raised by her aunt since she was young. Although the girl never mentioned going back to visit, Gu Fei knew it was time to let her go back for a look.

"Prepare yourself, we will set off shortly."

Gu Fei said softly to Ling Xi.

Ling Xi nodded and turned to pack her luggage.

Gu Fei watched her back, a complex look flashing in his eyes. No matter what, he would not let the Soul Clan succeed.

Even if it were only for his own well-behaved disciple, he had to make this trip...

The Spirit Realm was like a paradise on earth, wreathed in immortal aura.

Here, the mountains were green and the waters clear, birds sang and flowers smelled sweet, and a spiritual aura permeated everywhere.

One could see mountains surrounding them, peaks piled upon peaks, with mountain streams gurgling past, sparkling with a crystalline luster under the sunlight.

And among these mountains, there was one particularly towering peak that stood out.

It looked like a long sword pointing straight at the firmament, standing proudly at the summit of the mountains.

At this moment, on the peak of this mountain, a man and a woman were standing.

The woman was dressed in a simple and elegant white dress, her black hair like a waterfall, her skin whiter than snow, and her almond-shaped eyes were clear and bright, her brows exuding a noble and elegant temperament.

This woman was Ling Xi's aunt, Ling Lu... And the middle-aged man beside Ling Lu.

Was dressed in a green shirt, his face handsome, his features like a painting, and his whole body exuded a scholarly, refined air.

This person was named Ling Qingshan, Ling Lu's husband. Both of their cultivations were not low; Ling Lu had reached the Advanced Half-Saint realm, while Ling Qingshan also possessed the strength of a One-Star Dou Saint.

There was a reason why it was said their cultivation was not low.

On the entire continent, such cultivation naturally counted for nothing.

But in the entire Spirit Realm, such cultivation was definitely considered quite good. At this moment, the two were standing on the mountain peak looking into the distance, their faces revealing a sense of emotion. "Qingshan, have you heard? Young Master Gu Fei of the Ancient Clan has now reached the Seven-Star Dou Saint realm!"

Ling Lu suddenly spoke, her tone full of amazement.

"I heard. To have the cultivation of a Seven-Star Dou Saint at such a young age, this Young Master Gu Fei is truly a prodigy among prodigies!"

"Moreover, I heard recently that Young Master Gu Fei has created another very powerful Battle Technique."

"Our Xi'er being able to be accepted as his disciple, her future is boundless."

Ling Qingshan nodded, also wearing a look of admiration.

Indeed, Gu Fei's current cultivation had already reached the level of those old monsters like the Spirit Clan's Clan Leader.

One must know that in the entire Spirit Clan, there were only a dozen or so powerhouses with Dou Saint cultivation.

For such a small clan to be able to establish a connection with the Young Clan Leader of the Ancient Clan was a great honor. Since ancient times, this continent had been a place where the strong preyed on the weak; for a small clan like the Spirit Clan, self-preservation was a difficult task in itself.

Now that they had established a connection with the Ancient Clan, it was of profound significance to the entire Spirit Clan!!! Thinking of this, a trace of gratification and pride flashed in Ling Lu's eyes.

"This girl has already stayed at the Ancient Clan for a long time. Should we go over to see her?"

Ling Lu looked into the distance and said softly.

As Ling Xi's relatives, although Ling Lu and Ling Qingshan had entrusted Ling Xi to Gu Fei, they were always concerned about this little girl in their hearts.

The couple had not had any offspring of their own for so many years. In their hearts, Ling Xi was like their own daughter.

"That is fine, then tomorrow we shall set off for the Ancient Realm to go see Xi'er." Ling Qingshan nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Just as the two were discussing, the sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds, rolling and churning, and a gale began to blow. The entire Spirit Realm seemed to be shrouded in darkness.

"Hehehe..."

A sinister and strange laughter came from the horizon, echoing among the mountains, making one's hair stand on end.

"What is going on?"

The clansmen of the Spirit Realm looked up at the sky one after another, their faces full of suspicion and uncertainty.

Some Dou Saint Elders flew rapidly into the high sky, standing in battle formation, watching the anomaly on the horizon vigilantly.

Deep within the dark clouds, a black shadow slowly walked out, its figure tall and its aura overbearing. Looking closely, it was actually Hun Xuzi of the Soul Clan! "Hun Xuzi, you have great audacity to dare to trespass into my Spirit Realm!"

A middle-aged man in a green robe shouted angrily and was the first to attack, charging toward Hun Xuzi.

However, facing the attack of this Five-Star Dou Saint, Hun Xuzi merely sneered and swatted him away with a casual wave. The middle-aged man let out a miserable shriek, his body falling like a kite with a broken string; he was clearly severely injured.

"A mere Five-Star Dou Saint dares to act presumptuously before me? Get lost!"

Hun Xuzi's gaze was icy, his tone full of disdain. "Hun Xuzi, it is you who are acting presumptuously!"

"You trespass into my Spirit Realm, what is your intention?"

"Do you truly think my Spirit Clan has no one?"

Just as Hun Xuzi was being arrogant, a crisp yet majestic voice suddenly rang out.

As soon as the voice fell, a white shadow arrived in the air and landed opposite Hun Xuzi.

This woman appeared to have a head of white hair.

Although it contained the traces of time, her facial skin appeared exceptionally delicate.

Especially those eyes, which were bright and piercing, revealing a sense of wisdom and majesty.

This woman was the Spirit Clan's Clan Leader, Ling Yuan, whose cultivation had reached the Seven-Star Dou Saint Mid-Stage.

Hun Xuzi naturally recognized this person. "Ling Yuan, you are worthy of being a Clan Leader; you truly have some methods."

Hun Xuzi snorted coldly, indifferent to Ling Yuan's questioning.

Ling Yuan looked coldly at Hun Xuzi and, with a casual wave, an invisible force swept out, forcing Hun Xuzi back several steps.

Within the Dou Saint realm, crossing each stage is like crossing a chasm; in other words, compared to a Seven-Star Dou Saint, the strength of a Six-Star Dou Sheng is worlds apart.

As a Six-Star Late-Stage, Hun Xuzi was naturally no match.

Hun Xuzi's expression changed slightly, but he immediately resumed that arrogant look.

This fellow's confidence naturally came from having hidden a trump card.

Who could have imagined that my, Hun Xuzi's, strength had long since surpassed Six-Star and stepped into the Seven-Star Early Stage!

"However, that is all!"

The next moment, Hun Xuzi sneered, and as his words fell, a powerful pressure swept across the entire scene in an instant; one could see Hun Xuzi's hands rapidly forming seals, his internal Dou Qi surging out.

In an instant, this fellow's aura rose sharply; for a time, the powerful Dou Qi stirred up a gale.

The gravel at his feet was blown away. "What!"

"This is impossible."

"This Hun Xuzi is actually a Seven-Star Early Stage!"

The Five-Star Dou Sheng powerhouse of the Spirit Clan who had been repelled muttered, his eyes filled with astonishment. (End of chapter)
