Chapter 68: Xiao Yan: Xun'er, I Won't Let You Down!

"The Yun Lan Sect actually has such a powerful expert!"

The old man was in a sorry state at this moment, his body covered in dust and fresh blood.

And his face was written full of terror and awe; the look in his eyes as he gazed at Yun Yi no longer held the previous arrogance.

At this moment, his legs were still trembling uncontrollably.

Yun Yi's terrifying palm strike from just now was still vivid in his mind.

"You must be Soul Saint!"

The old man forcefully endured the pain of his injuries, hurriedly straightened his already disheveled clothes, trying to make himself look slightly more presentable.

Then he cupped his fists toward Yun Yi and spoke.

After all, he was an Ancient Clan envoy; he could not lose the Ancient Clan's face.

At this moment, he finally understood in his heart why the young miss had specially sent a post to invite this person.

The strength of this Soul Saint before him far exceeded his imagination.

This was the first time in so many years he had been this close to death.

"Scram!"

Yun Yi's eyes revealed a cold chill; he no longer had the slightest patience for this old man.

These two words he spat out, though not loud in volume, were like a heavy hammer, ruthlessly smashing onto the old man's heart.

"The young miss invites you, hoping Soul Saint can go to the Gu Jie to watch our clan's Adult Ceremony..."

The old man, frightened by Yun Yi's aura into trembling slightly, naturally dared not linger another moment.

He hurriedly stammered out these polite words, then fled in a panic.

A wise man submits to circumstances.

He still didn't want to die.

"Junior Brother, your cultivation base has advanced quite a bit again!"

Yun Shan stepped forward quickly with a face full of emotion, his eyes filled with amazement.

In just two short years without meeting, the aura on Yun Yi had become even more profound and powerful, like an endless abyss.

While he himself was still trapped by a bottleneck.

"Indeed, Ancestral Master's strength has become even more unfathomable."

Nalan Yanran also moved with light lotus steps, walking over quickly with a smile in her eyes.

Her beautiful eyes turned, looking behind Yun Yi, a trace of doubt in them.

"Ancestral Master, why didn't Master come back together?"

Yun Yi sighed softly and explained, "The situation was critical before; I could only hastily transmit Yun'er away, but couldn't precisely determine her landing point."

"Now we can only wait for her to return on her own; I also don't know where exactly she was transmitted to."

Speaking to this point, Yun Yi frowned slightly, raised his head to gaze into the distance, and couldn't help but feel some worry in his heart.

He planned to wait here for Yun Yun's return.

After this event, an idea sprouted in Yun Yi's heart.

With his current Dou Sheng cultivation base, he already possessed the ability to open up an independent space.

If he could open up such a space, it could serve as the Yun Lan Sect's secret base, sheltering everyone at critical moments.

That way, even if someone really came seeking revenge, they could hide inside the space he created.

So in the following month, Yun Yi patiently opened up the space.

At this time, on an open ground at the back mountain, Yun Yi's hands formed seals rapidly like phantoms.

Streaks of strange and dazzling light flew out from between his slender fingers, then fused into the back mountain's mountain body.

Accompanied by the flashing of light, space began to twist and change; the originally calm air rippled with layers of waves.

An independent space several hundred li in size gradually took shape.

Afterward, Yun Yi added quite a few defensive arrays to this space.

Not only that, he also placed the Shaluo Tianda Zhen's array plate inside it.

Once this great array activates, amidst the flashing of array patterns, the terrifying power released — even ordinary Dou Sheng who enter have no return.

Moreover, this space also possesses a special ability, able to change position at will.

And if Yun Yi completely seals the space, outsiders will be unable to sense its existence.

Even a Dou Sheng would find it difficult to detect the hidden space here.

Yun Yi named this independent space he opened up Yun Realm.

When he finally finished all this and walked out of Yun Realm, he discovered Yun Yun still had not returned.

However, the aura displayed on Yun Yun's Soul Tablet was stable and normal, indicating she was currently safe and sound.

This made Yun Yi breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Yun Yun was probably delayed by something.

With Yun Yun's strength and the Lei Envoy beside her, they shouldn't encounter any overly major trouble in Zhongzhou.

Yun Yi pondered for a moment, a flash of brilliance crossing his eyes.

He decided to make a trip to the Gu Jie.

If he didn't go, the other side would probably still think he feared their Ancient Clan.

Thinking of this, he informed Nalan Yanran in detail about the information regarding Yun Realm's entrance.

Then, Yun Yi prepared to set off.

However, before going to the Ancient Clan, Yun Yi still had one matter to attend to.

He had to make a trip to the Burial Corpse Mountain Range.

……

The Eastern Domain is the Ancient Clan's territory.

On this vast expanse of land, the Ancient Clan is the supreme ruler of all forces, possessing the highest status.

Their clan has experts like clouds, with a deep foundation.

Even the Soul Hall, which runs rampant across the continent with extreme arrogance, does not dare to establish a Branch Hall in this Eastern Domain territory.

During this period, the Ancient Clan has widely sent out Invitations.

Many forces from other regions have received invitations.

Among them is the Starfall Pavilion.

Inside the Starfall Pavilion, Xiao Yan is methodically preparing for the journey to the Gu Jie.

Currently, Xiao Yan has successfully fused three Heavenly Flames, and his Cultivation Base has barely broken through to Three Star Dou Zun, counting as a qualitative leap.

The Green Lotus Core Flame and Fallen Heart Flame need no further mention.

As for this Wind Fury Dragon Flame, it was obtained by a stroke of luck from a desert wind eye.

This Heavenly Flame seems to condense the power of wind, violent and powerful.

Not only that, he also possesses a Sub-flame.

It is the Sub-flame of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, ranked fourth.

Though a Sub-flame, its power is equally astonishing.

"Xiao Yanzi, this trip Teacher cannot accompany you; the Starfall Pavilion still needs me to hold the fort."

Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan with a helpless expression.

After all, the Starfall Pavilion currently has only him as an Advanced Half-Saint.

If the Soul Clan takes advantage of his absence to launch a sneak attack...

That would be a losing bargain.

He frowned slightly, his expression as he looked at Xiao Yan gradually turning serious.

"You must be careful in all matters on this journey to the Gu Jie."

"The Ancient Clan has a deep foundation and many experts; you must absolutely not act recklessly."

"When encountering danger, avoid it if you can; do not force yourself."

"Teacher, rest assured, I know."

Xiao Yan raised his head, clenched his fist slightly, "I will be careful."

"So... this time I'm going alone?"

"How could that be..." Yao Chen shook his head.

"Since the Ancient Clan invited us, if the Starfall Pavilion sends only one Disciple, it would likely offend them."

"This time, Venerable Feng will go with you."

As soon as the words fell, Venerable Feng walked out from a Space Distortion with a faint smile.

"If you are ready, we can depart at any time."

Xiao Yan nodded, cupped his fists in salute to Venerable Feng, "In that case, let us set off..."

Venerable Feng nodded, then led Xiao Yan away from the Starfall Pavilion.

"Xun Er, I will definitely not let you down!"

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, his gaze scorching as he looked toward the Eastern Domain.
