Chapter 801

"Also, I heard from Ling Ying that you and Xiao Yan of the Xiao clan are very close?"

Gu Yuan looked at his daughter before him and asked her.

Hearing Gu Yuan's words, Xiao Xun'er felt a moment of nervousness; she had not expected that Ling Ying would even tell Gu Yuan about this news.

"Father, I want to stay here for now. With my current cultivation, even if I return to the clan, I won't be able to improve much."

"As for the matter between Brother Xiao Yan and me, let's talk about it later!"

Xiao Xun'er gathered her courage, looked at Gu Yuan, and said with a firm expression.

"Sigh! Truly, a grown daughter is hard to keep!"

"Since you have already made up your mind, then I won't say anything more."

"Moreover, according to what you said, since this Xiao Yan can be valued by people from the Great Han Empire, he naturally has some talent."

"If he truly grows up in the future, I will not oppose you two being together."

Gu Yuan was not surprised to hear Xiao Xun'er's words.

From the news Ling Ying had sent back, he had already sensed that his daughter had likely developed feelings for Xiao Yan.

If Xiao Yan had not been valued by Liu Bian, he naturally would not have agreed to Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yan being together.

However, since Xiao Yan could catch Liu Bian's eye, it meant that Xiao Yan naturally had his own exceptional qualities.

If Xiao Yan truly possessed talent in the future, he would not oppose the two being together.

"Thank you, Father!"

Hearing Gu Yuan's words, Xiao Xun'er also gave him a somewhat surprised look, then smiled happily.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, Bai Qi, Lü Bu, and Huo Qubing had already led their grand army to invade the Black Horn Region.

Facing the powerful Great Han Empire, these forces in the Black Horn Region were simply no match for the three of them.

The three of them spent less than half a month to take down the entire Black Horn Region.

After taking the Black Horn Region, Liu Bian directly ordered the three to march toward the Central Province.

……

Central Province, within the Heavenly Hall, the headquarters of the Soul Hall.

"Hehe, this is truly interesting. I never expected that such a powerful force could emerge from that barren Northwest region."

"They even dared to kill my Soul Hall protector and destroy my Soul Hall branch. It seems the people in this Northwest region no longer take my Soul Hall seriously!"

Soul Hall Master Hun Mie Sheng looked at the intelligence in his hand and said in an icy voice.

Hearing his words, the crowd below could not help but feel a chill in their hearts, and their bodies began to tremble slightly.

Everyone knew of Hun Mie Sheng's methods, and they did not want to experience that feeling.

"Great Heavenly Venerate, you lead four Soul Hall Heavenly Venerates to the Northwest region and annihilate this so-called Great Han Empire for this Seat."

"Capture all of their souls; this Seat wants to torture them properly!"

"If they dare to make a move against our Soul Hall, they must be made to pay the price!"

Hun Mie Sheng turned his gaze toward the Soul Hall's Great Heavenly Venerate and said to him in an icy voice.

"This subordinate obeys!"

Hearing Hun Mie Sheng's words, the Great Heavenly Venerate immediately stood out and responded respectfully to Hun Mie Sheng.

The Soul Hall's Great Heavenly Venerate was a powerhouse whose cultivation had reached the peak of a One-Star Dou Sheng.

With four Soul Hall Heavenly Venerates accompanying him, such powerful strength should make dealing with a Great Han Empire in the Northwest region an easy task.

Soon, the Great Heavenly Venerate took the four Soul Hall Heavenly Venerates, left the Soul Hall, and headed toward the Northwest region.

……

Three days later, the Great Heavenly Venerate and his party of four happened to run into Bai Qi, Huo Qubing, and Lü Bu, who were coming to the Central Province.

"Great Heavenly Venerate, look at the banners of this army. They are flying the banner of the Great Han Empire. Do you think this is the army of the Great Han Empire that the Hall Master spoke of?"

Within the group, the Fifth Heavenly Venerate looked at the three grand armies below and said to the Great Heavenly Venerate with a cruel expression.

Hearing his words, the others also turned their gaze toward the Great Heavenly Venerate, waiting for him to issue the order to attack the army below!

"Have you not noticed that it is very unreasonable for this Great Han Empire's army to appear here?"

"What place is this?"

"This is already close to the Central Province!"

"For them to be able to come here is very unreasonable!"

The Great Heavenly Venerate looked at the army below and said to the four with a puzzled expression.

Hearing the Great Heavenly Venerate's words, the four also released their divine sense to scan the army below.

However, the moment the five of them appeared, Bai Qi and the others had already discovered them.

Before Bai Qi and the others, whose strength had reached the Martial Emperor Realm, the five of them naturally could not discover anything with their cultivation.

"You two, it seems the other party has come with ill intent!"

Sensing the killing intent radiating from the five, Bai Qi transmitted his voice to Huo Qubing and Lü Bu.

"Hmph! They are just a few ants. I'll tell Gao Shun to go and wipe them out!"

Seeing that there was only one One-Star Dou Sheng and the other four had not even reached the Dou Sheng realm, Lü Bu said disdainfully.

"That's fine, let Gao Shun go!"

Hearing Lü Bu's words, Bai Qi nodded slightly and said to Lü Bu.

Gao Shun's current cultivation had already reached the Eighth Heaven of the Martial God Realm.

Dealing with the Great Heavenly Venerate and the five of them was just a matter of lifting a hand.

"Gao Shun, those five people above are left to you. Leave one alive to ask which force they belong to."

Seeing that Bai Qi and Huo Qubing had no objections, Lü Bu immediately transmitted his voice to Gao Shun.

Gao Shun heard Lü Bu's voice transmission, cupped his fists toward the three, and his figure instantly vanished from where he stood.

When he appeared again, he had already arrived before the Great Heavenly Venerate and the others.

"Who is it!"

Seeing Gao Shun appear suddenly, the Great Heavenly Venerate and the others were startled and immediately shouted sternly at Gao Shun.

"Aren't you here looking for us?"

"This General is Gao Shun, Grand General of the Great Han Empire's Shenwu Legion!"

Gao Shun looked at the four people before him who were on guard and said to them coldly.

"You are the general of this army. You really are people of the Great Han Empire."

"It seems this Venerable has not found the wrong people. I never expected that before we could find you, you would come looking for death yourselves!"

"Since that is the case, then this Venerable will grant your wish!"

Hearing Gao Shun's words, the Fourth Heavenly Venerate, whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Dou Zun realm, looked at Gao Shun and said coldly.

"Kid, after you reach hell, remember that the one who killed you was the Soul Hall's Fourth Heavenly Venerate!"

The Fourth Heavenly Venerate looked at Gao Shun, finished speaking with a cruel expression, and raised his hand to condense a black palm print nearly a thousand zhang in size, which he slapped down toward Gao Shun.

"Hmph!"

"So you are people from the Soul Hall. I never expected that you would dare to make a move against my Great Han Empire."

"However, since you have already reported your origins, this General does not need to keep you alive anymore!"

Hearing the Fourth Heavenly Venerate's words, Gao Shun also learned of their background.

Immediately, he let out a cold snort at them, and the attack condensed by the Fourth Heavenly Venerate was dispersed.
