Chapter 124: Gu Yuan: If He Can Weather This Crisis, His Future Is Limitless!

Dongyu, Gu Jie.

Xun Er and Gu Qingyang and the others were currently traversing the mist-wreathed mountain paths, heading toward the Yi Yi of Gu Jie.

Xun Er's delicate brows were slightly furrowed, her eyes revealing a trace of worry.

Since Yun Yi has already formed such a deep blood feud with the Soul Clan, that should also count as an Opportunity for our Ancient Clan.

But exactly how to proceed still depends on how the Ancient Clan's elders decide.

So the two of them arrived at the Yi Yi very quickly.

Inside the great hall it was solemn and dignified; massive stone pillars supported the vaulted ceiling, and jade beads embedded in the walls emitted a soft radiance.

Several white-haired elders sat on the high platforms on both sides, clad in simple robes, their expressions calm yet exuding an Aura of authority without anger.

Seeing Xun Er and Gu Qingyang enter, the lead elder lifted his head slightly. "Xun Er, you've returned..."

"This trip to the Huang Mang Ancient Domain — what exactly was the situation?"

After all, they also knew that Xun Er and Gu Qingyang had crushed their spatial jade tubes.

It seemed certain they had encountered a life-or-death crisis.

Gu Qingyang hurriedly stepped forward, respectfully saluted, cleared his throat, and recounted the entire experience in the Huang Mang Ancient Domain in full detail.

From them entering the Huang Mang Ancient Domain together with Xiao Yan and battling magical beasts, to the strange light emitted by the Bodhi Ancient Tree drawing everyone inside.

Finally, to Yun Yi directly and dominantly slaying Hun Yu and those two Soul Clan Dou Sheng.

Not a single detail was omitted.

As the elders listened, the expressions on their faces shifted from flat to utterly Surprised.

"There's actually such a peerlessly gifted junior?"

"Which great clan's descendant is he??"

Xun Er's expression was somewhat Complex. "He... can probably only count as a Sanfen..."

"Sanfen??"

The surrounding Ancient Clan elders all found it somewhat hard to believe.

A Sanfen, yet he surpassed all the Heaven's Pride that all the Ancient Races had poured resources into cultivating.

This talent... is truly terrifying.

Just then, a voice slowly emerged.

"This Yun Yi has been to Gu Jie before; I once permitted him to cultivate in the Tian Mu."

A layer of spatial ripples slowly appeared above the great hall.

A figure clad in a plain, simple robe stepped out from within the ripples.

"Father..."

Xun Er called out.

Gu Qingyang also hastily cupped his fists in salute. "Clan Leader!"

"Clan Leader!"

The surrounding elders, seeing Gu Yuan arrive, all stood up and respectfully saluted.

Gu Yuan nodded slightly, his gaze turning to Xun Er, his voice carrying a hint of surprise.

"He also went to the Huang Mang Ancient Domain this time?"

Xun Er smiled wryly. "He not only went, he even took away all the opportunities from the Bodhi Ancient Tree this time..."

"But when he came out at the end, he killed those two Soul Clan Dou Sheng, which counts as saving the lives of all the Ancient Races' juniors."

"Took away all the opportunities?"

Gu Yuan was slightly startled, his expression changing.

Meaning all the Ancient Races this time were merely Yun Yi's supporting runners.

"Clan Leader, the Soul Clan went too far this time, actually directly tearing up the Ancestral Pact and dispatching two Dou Sheng Strongmen of at least Four-Star cultivation!"

"Although they were both slain by Yun Yi alone, if not for Yun Yi, we might all have died..."

"The Soul Clan's audacity is too great!"

One elder couldn't bear listening and angrily snorted.

Gu Yuan was accustomed to the Soul Clan's insidious tactics, so what surprised him more was Yun Yi's strength.

"He's already able to slay two Dou Sheng Strongmen exceeding Four Stars..."

"Even... those two Soul Clan members might have been Five-Star..." Xun Er added from the side.

Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes, his heart also shaken by Yun Yi's talent.

When Yun Yi first came to Gu Jie, his strength was merely Four-Star Dou Sheng.

Yet this time in the Huang Mang Ancient Domain, he could actually slay those two Soul Clan experts who might be Five-Star Dou Sheng.

The combat power displayed was at least Six-Star Dou Sheng.

This Cultivation speed is truly monstrous!

But this time, the Soul Clan certainly also knows it was he who killed their Divine Grade Bloodline and two experts; they will definitely purge everyone closely connected to Yun Yi.

"In such a short time, to achieve such improvement — this person truly possesses extraordinary talent, incomparable to ordinary mortals."

The Ancient Clan elders all exclaimed in admiration.

After all, a Sanfen like Yun Yi must seize every opportunity relying on himself!

"However, the Soul Clan holds grudges over the slightest offense; this time they will surely go all out to Avenge."

Xun Er gently bit her fragrant lip; thinking of Yun Yi's carefree departing figure, she sighed.

"Don't know if this time, he can survive this tribulation."

The Ancient Clan elders all fell silent at this moment.

After a long while, Gu Yuan shook his head.

"If he can truly withstand this tribulation, and lies low for several decades, with his talent, his future is boundless — a dragon soaring in the heavens!"

……

Apart from the Ancient Clan, in other regions of the Dou Qi Continent, the remaining few Ancient Races also all learned of Yun Yi's powerful suppression and killing of two Soul Clan Elders in the Huang Mang Ancient Domain.

Lei Dong of the Thunder Clan, upon hearing this, was quite moved.

Back then, Yun Yi was able to defeat him even while suppressing his cultivation base.

Now that he has killed two Soul Clan powerhouses, he finds it not so unacceptable.

"Sigh, Brother Yun Yi makes it so hard for me to catch up…" Lei Dong sighed, shaking his head, his eyes full of surprise.

But standing before him, Clan Chief Lei Ying wore a face full of gravity.

"This time, the Soul Clan will certainly launch a frenzied retaliation against this Yun Yi."

"According to past convention, this does not count as them violating the Ancestral Pact."

"That is to say… those super powerhouses of the Soul Clan can all be deployed?" Lei Dong's eyes widened.

In his heart, no matter how strong Yun Yi is, the strength he has currently displayed is at most Six-Star Dou Sheng…

If he truly faces the entire Soul Clan…

I fear he cannot withstand it.

"Hmph, the Soul Clan's methods have always been unscrupulous; without supervision, it won't do."

At this moment, an illusory fiery-red figure appeared before Lei Ying.

Yan Clan Chief Yan Jin!

"Lei Ying, let us join forces with the other great clans and send some people to supervise."

Lei Ying nodded.

"Hope this child can survive the Soul Clan's retaliation."

……

Northwest Continent, Jia Ma Empire.

Yun Lan Mountain.

The once extraordinarily bustling Yun Lan Sect is now utterly silent.

The disciples' shouts during cultivation, the clashing of longswords during sparring — all have disappeared.

Only the whistling wind remains atop the mountain.

On the plaza before the Yun Lan Sect's main hall, Yun Yi stood with hands clasped behind his back, gaze fixed on the distant sky, waiting for the Soul Clan powerhouses who might arrive at any unknown time.

At this moment, the other forces within the Jia Ma Empire also seemed to faintly detect a trace of unusual danger.

After all, the Yun Lan Sect is far too quiet.

Like the calm before the storm.

These cautious forces have now begun to restrain their clansmen.

The entire Jia Ma Empire seems to be permeated with a tense atmosphere of impending storm.

And Yun Yi, guarding the mountain gate alone, withdrew his gaze and calmly took out one Magic Core after another from his Storage Ring, each emitting powerful energy fluctuations.

These Magic Cores can reinforce the Array he has set up.

As for how much effect they can have.

That depends on just how strong the people the Soul Clan sends this time truly are.
