Death Crisis

There is an unwritten agreement among the Ancient Race: Five-star Dou Sheng level expert will not participate in the battles of the Dou Qi Continent.

The Half-Saint powerhouse who remained here from the Gu Clan has not yet left. He will crush the corresponding Space Jade Slip and send over a powerhouse of the level of Four-star Dou Sheng from the Gu Clan.

However, the Gu Clan were not the first to react.

Xiao Yan only smelled an extremely rich fragrance of pills. Compared to this fragrance, the scents of pills from other Pill Beast he had seen before were like fireflies compared to the brilliance of the moon.

The fragrance of the pill permeated every corner of Ye City, and apart from the already dead who could not be saved, all the injured were instantly healed.

"Hun Miesheng, since you are so unscrupulous, then you shall stay here today!"

An unusually ancient voice quietly rang out, followed by a terrifying spatial tremor. Even though the newly appeared powerhouse had intentionally protected Ye City, the aftershocks of this level were still unbearable.

"Could the power of this Pills be the Pill Tower Ancestor?" Gu Xun'er exclaimed in surprise.

"The Pill Tower Ancestor?" Xiao Yan was also surprised. How could such powerful figures appear one after another?

Seeing Xiao Yan's surprised expression, Gu Xun'er then began to explain:

"The Pill Tower Ancestor's true form was a Ninth Grade Profound Pill, which was refined by a senior member of the Pill Tower. However, that senior member perished when the pill was completed due to exhaustion of his energy."

"However, when he perished, a wisp of his consciousness merged into that Ninth Grade Pill, causing the Pills to mutate and take human form, thus giving birth to the current Pill Tower Ancestor."

"Therefore, the Pill Tower Ancestor can be said to be an alternative clone of that senior, except that the primary and secondary aspects of this clone are quite complicated."

"After his birth, the Pill Tower Ancestor took on the role of the Pill Tower's guardian. As time went by, the Pill Tower Ancestor saved the Pill Tower from danger on numerous occasions. As a result, his status in the Pill Tower became unparalleled."

"But after things settled down in Pill Tower, he left directly, and no one knew where he went. I never expected to run into him here today."

"This Pill Tower Ancestor should be a five or six- Dou Sheng, while Hun Miesheng is only a Four-star Dou Sheng. Even if he needs to protect Ye City, he is more than capable of killing Hun Miesheng."

As she finished speaking, Gu Xun'er's tone carried a hint of schadenfreude, clearly indicating her delight at the impending death of the Soul Hall Master.

However, things took an unexpected turn once again.

"Hehehe, Ninth Grade Profound Pill is extremely rare in this world. If I were to consume it, breaking through to the Eight-star Dou Sheng would be just around the corner!"

Another vicious laugh rang out, and the Soul Clan directly dispatched Seven Star Dou Sheng!

Gu Xun'er's expression changed, and she no longer cared about the so-called agreement. She took out a Space Jade Slip and crushed it directly.

Xiao Yan frowned deeply, wondering what had gotten into the Soul Clan.

An operation of this level must have the approval of the Hun Tiandi, right?

What is the Hun Tiandi after?

The Old Yao was merely Heaven Realm Soul; the Nong Yan Jue could be obtained by casually eroding a Sixth Grade Alchemist from the Ye Family; the Ninth Grade Profound Pill could be refined by the Soul Clan's Hun Xuzi; as for the Heavenly Flames, even the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame did not cause the Hun Tiandi to make a big fuss.

Just as Xiao Yan was completely baffled, Gu Xun'er crushed the Space Jade Slip, and an extremely stable spatial passage immediately appeared beside her.

As the spatial passage took shape, a chilling thought flashed through Xiao Yan's mind like lightning.

The Soul Clan is about to attack Gu Yuan!

Originally, the Gu Clan only had one piece of Tou She Ancient God Jade, which was stored in an altar protected by Formation and many powerful figures. The Soul Clan could steal Tou She Ancient God Jade without any direct confrontation.

However, now the Gu Clan has two pieces. Based on the principle of not putting all their eggs in one basket, it is highly likely that one piece is placed on the altar and the other piece is placed in Gu Yuan's Storage Ring.

Gu Yuan himself was a Peak of Nine-Star Dou Sheng, and also Emperor Realm Soul. If he did not leave the Gu Clan, even the Hun Tiandi would not be confident of defeating Gu Yuan while withstanding the Ancient Emperor Formation.

Therefore, there must be a reason for Gu Yuan to leave the Gu Clan!

Gu Xun'er is the best reason. Moreover, Gu Xun'er, who is at the Dou Zun level, is like an ant to Dou Sheng Expert. If Gu Yuan wants to protect her, he will definitely be constrained.

The so-called operation against Old Yao was just a smokescreen; the Soul Clan's real target was Gu Yuan!

Furthermore, the aftershocks of a battle between peak Dou Sheng would be enough to destroy Ye City, and the interest group that spanned the Central Continent would also collapse rapidly!

The reason Xiao Yan felt uneasy was not because the seal was broken, but because the two Heavenly Flames sensed the Nihility Devouring Flame!

As thoughts raced through his mind, a blurry figure appeared in the passageway, about to fully arrive at this space.

"Walk!"

Without a second thought, Xiao Yan roared and took out the Black Lock and key from his Storage Ring, slamming them heavily into Gu Xun'er.

Gu Xun'er was completely caught off guard and was blasted into the passage by Xiao Yan along with the Black Lock key.

The blurry figure in the passage paused slightly, then seemed to understand something, grabbed Gu Xun'er and retreated abruptly.

A sinister and terrifying black Death Qi surged into the passage, attempting to cut it off, but it was unable to catch up with Gu Yuan, who had already reacted.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and said calmly, "Soul Emperor, I want to talk to you!"

The black Death Qi that was about to wipe out Xiao Yan, the little ant who ruined everything, suddenly stopped. Then Xiao Yan felt the space completely distort, and he appeared in front of a handsome young man who looked like a scholar.

"If I heard correctly, you seem to be calling for the Soul Emperor?" The young man's lips curled up slightly, looking quite amiable, but his pupils were pitch black, as if he might choose to devour someone at any moment.

"Based on my analysis, if anyone on the Dou Qi Continent is to break through to Dou Emperor in the future, it will definitely not be Gu Yuan, but you, Hun Tiandi!" Xiao Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief. He hadn't been instantly killed, so there was still a chance.

Xiao Yan had a chance to escape with Gu Xun'er, but he was the only one who could escape from the entire Ye City.

Old Yao, Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan... none of them can escape!

Therefore, Xiao Yan decided to take a gamble, a gamble on Gu Yuan's character and the pride of the Hun Tiandi, and decided to stay and buy time until Gu Yuan led his men to attack!

The smile on the Hun Tiandi's lips became even more pronounced. What Xiao Yan said was also what he had always believed, but hearing these words from the mouth of Xiao Xuan's descendant carried a strange sense of pleasure, making the Hun Tiandi feel inexplicably good.

"Heh, you, a descendant of the Xiao Clan, would think such a thing?" the Hun Tiandi said leisurely.

"Although the Xiao Clan and the Soul Clan are enemies, it is precisely because of this that we can feel that Gu Yuan is not up to the task. He is hesitant and indecisive in the face of matters. As a peak Dou Sheng, he is actually restrained by the elders of his clan."

"Such a person is good at maintaining the status quo but lacks ambition. He can never defeat the Soul Clan and is destined to fail!"
