Chapter 71: The Mysterious Dou Sheng Powerhouse

Another very pleasant day!

Xiao Han lay on a rocking chair, lazily basking in the sun, savoring this rare moment of leisure.

It must be said, he had been quite busy these past few years.

During the period just after he escaped from the secret realm, he had been running back and forth between the Xiao Clan and Langya Pavilion.

He had squeezed in time to get married, wiped out the Tianming Sect, and then went into seclusion for five or six years.

Recently, he had rescued Sound Valley from dire straits and, in passing, had a fight with that bunch of rats from the Soul Hall.

Although beating those fellows was a piece of cake, Xiao Han felt bitter inside!

He was just worried that one day, if he accidentally failed to suppress his strength, what would happen if he suddenly attracted everyone's attention?

At that time, he, Langya Pavilion, and the Xiao Clan would no longer be able to keep a low profile, and his peaceful life would be shattered.

As for being some savior to rescue the Dou Qi Continent from danger, that was a job for his junior, Xiao Yan; why should he be so tired?

He, this Ancestor, would just pave the way for him first, and then when the battle of the Emperor Pill occurred, he could just stay in the back and cheer them on.

Although the temptation of breaking through to become a Dou Di was great, it was obvious that neither the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill nor the Ancient God Inheritance was something he could get his hands on.

Not to mention decades later, he would at most be an Eight-Star Dou Sheng; the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill would not be his turn, and it would be useless to him anyway.

Moreover, the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill still needed to be refined into a finished pill, and the massive consumption involved was clearly something he could not bear.

Look at that fellow Hun Tiandi; in order to refine a pill, he not only made the whole world his enemy but also wiped out his own clan. He hadn't been a Dou Di for long before he was sealed by others—what a loss!

And that so-called Ancient God Inheritance was clearly tailor-made for that child Xiao Yan; why should he, an elder, rush to take it?

Wouldn't it be nice to honestly cultivate to Peak Dou Sheng, then hitch a ride with the power of the Flame Emperor and easily become an Imperial?

Just as Xiao Han was here reminiscing about life, he suddenly frowned.

"This kid, what trouble has he run into again?"

He had just felt the Space Jade Slip he gave to Xiao Wu being crushed.

Although his tone was still as grumpy and impatient as ever, Xiao Han's movements were not slow in the slightest, and he pinpointed Xiao Wu's current location almost instantly.

"A different space? Could it be that that thing is there?"

Xiao Han's expression was serious; after sending a message to Yi Huang, he quickly opened a Space Channel and stepped inside.

"Hmm?" Yi Huang's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she had a bad premonition in her heart.

"Where is that guy going again?"

……

Time moves back one hour.

At this moment, Xiao Wu was swallowing hard, trembling all over as he looked at the man in front of him who was dressed in white, with ice-blue hair and electric arcs flowing over his body.

The terrifying pressure radiating from his body was wantonly destroying the space here, and from time to time, one could see the void around his body distorting.

A Dou Sheng!

Xiao Wu naturally knew very well what kind of powerhouse this terrifying man, who emitted an aura similar to his teacher's, was.

He was definitely not comparable to those so-called Half-Saints. As the Young Pavilion Master of Langya Pavilion, Xiao Wu's discernment was clearly quite sharp; after all, he had seen powerhouses of both levels.

However, intense doubt immediately welled up in his heart.

How could a Dou Sheng powerhouse appear in this ruin?

Were Dou Sheng so poor these days? They even had to come and snatch things from a group of juniors like them.

Even his teacher, with his nasty and unconventional personality, had never done such a shameless thing!

It wasn't the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion, after all!

And in the moment of Xiao Wu's shock, the Langya Guard also blocked in front of him. Although they all knew that this approach was futile in front of such a powerhouse, Jia Qing and the other two still did it.

Besides Xiao Wu and the others, everyone else in the ruins was also shivering.

They didn't know what happened just now; this strange powerhouse suddenly appeared, and then a casual wave of pressure crushed a large group of people to death.

A wave of wronged ghosts!

Although they didn't know what kind of powerhouse this was, one look was enough to confirm that he was someone they couldn't afford to provoke!

They couldn't beat him, and they didn't dare to run. They could only stay here. For a moment, the whole scene fell into silence.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, under the trembling gazes of the crowd, that powerhouse finally spoke:

"Who exactly are you people? Why disturb this Saint's slumber?"

What?

Xiao Wu's eyes widened suddenly; was he a "person" in this ruin?

It's over! Xiao Wu wailed in his heart. They had actually disturbed such a powerhouse; wouldn't they be killed directly?

He looked around and saw that no one on the scene dared to speak, and that powerhouse was clearly already starting to get impatient.

Simply hardening his heart, he gritted his teeth, stepped out from behind the Langya Guard, and said respectfully:

"This senior, we only came to this mountain range to hunt for treasure. Seeing the gate here suddenly open, we entered by mistake. For any disrespect, I hope you will be magnanimous, Senior!"

Xiao Wu was keeping his posture quite low now; after all, in front of a powerhouse who could take his life at any moment, he didn't dare to cause any trouble at all!

If it were only a Half-Saint, perhaps he could still give it a try, let the three seniors of the Langya Guard barely stall for a move or two, and he would take the opportunity to crush the Space Jade Slip to summon the divine dragon... oh, no, that's not right, to invite his teacher to come out and suppress all who refused to submit.

But in front of a Dou Sheng powerhouse, it was clear that dealing with all of them would only take a single slap; he didn't even have the time to crush the jade slip!

"Oh, weak Human," Xiao Wu's stepping forward aroused the interest of the powerhouse in front of him,

"You actually dare to stand out."

He was indeed very surprised. In his perception, Xiao Wu's strength was not very outstanding in the eyes of this group of people; it was even quite ordinary.

Compared to himself, it was the difference between an ant and a giant elephant, but for such a person to remain calm in the face of him was truly rare.

However, compared to his surprise and interest, a huge wave was truly stirred up in Xiao Wu's heart at this moment.

"Weak Human?" He is not a Human; could he be a Magic Beast?

Xiao Wu only felt why despair was so frequent today. If he were a Human, it would be one thing; speaking properly would at least offer some hope.

But if this powerhouse were truly a Magic Beast, the chance of survival for him and the others would be near zero.

The hatred between the two races is a racial feud that has continued for countless years, with no cure!

"Senior, could it be that you are not a Human? Then may I ask, which Magic Beast family's Ancestor are you?"

He could have just answered the question properly, but at this moment, the soul of self-destruction within Xiao Wu burned fiercely once again, and he asked one more unnecessary question.

However, this was not Xiao Wu intentionally provoking; Xiao Wu simply thought that since he had fallen into someone else's hands, there was no point in making futile struggles.

Satisfying his own curiosity before death, and then summoning his teacher to avenge him, would be enough.

In fact, according to his understanding, there did not seem to be any Magic Beast that matched the characteristics of the one before him?

Lightning and ice dual attributes—none of the three great Magic Beast families have such characteristics.

And other Magic Beast families do not have any Fighting Saint powerhouses!

But who would have thought that upon hearing this question, the one before him seemed to have been greatly insulted.

"A mere Magic Beast, how could it be worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as this Saint. Human, are you provoking me?"

The tone already carried a faint killing intent.
