The Ancient Clan Abandoned by Zhu Zhuqing

With Xiao Yixian and Cai Lin by her side, Zhu Zhuqing traversed countless spaces in a single step and instantly appeared at the entrance to the Ancient Realm of the Ancient Clan.

Cai Lin and Xiao Yixian stared wide-eyed at the familiar place.

They only felt a blur before their eyes, and then they appeared here. Just how terrifying must that be?

However, while they were shocked, they were filled with pride.

This is their Young Mistress, always so powerful and unreasonable.

Neither Zhu Zhuqing nor Xiao Yixian spoke before standing in front of the Ancient Realm. Zhu Zhuqing merely released the suppression of her own aura, and before ten seconds had passed, the space in front of them began to distort, and then Gu Yuan walked out from it.

"This... Young friend Zhu Zhuqing!?"

Gu Yuan sensed a powerful yet familiar aura outside the Ancient Realm while inside the Ancient Realm. After confirming that it was not an enemy, he stepped out of the space somewhat bewildered.

When they saw the owner of the aura, they were completely dumbfounded.

Zhu Zhuqing?

He was certain that this Zhu Zhuqing was not the same as the other "Zhu Zhuqing"; this was the younger one.

If he remembered correctly, Zhu Zhuqing had only just stepped into the Dou Sheng realm four years ago, right?

What exactly did this girl eat in the past four years?

Or were the cultivation methods of the Archaic Period really that terrifying?

How can a nine-star Dou Sheng be created in just over twenty years?

Although his aura was that of a mid-stage nine-star Dou Sheng, his imposing presence...

Gu Yuan compared himself to Zhu Zhuqing and estimated that he couldn't beat her.

The stark contrast left him speechless.

"Senior Gu, I've come here specifically to trouble you."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Gu Yuan and nodded.

"Oh, no trouble at all. It's an honor for our Ancient Clan to have you as a guest Ancient Clan. Please come in and have a seat."

Gu Yuan concealed his inner thoughts and immediately put on a kind and amiable face, stepping aside to let her pass.

"Thank you very much, senior."

Zhu Zhuqing wasn't that particular, so there was no need for her to give way to Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan gave way to Zhu Zhuqing, and thus she entered the Ancient Realm.

Gu Yuan didn't think much of it, but happily followed Zhu Zhuqing and led the way for her.

"Young Mistress, wait for us!"

Xiao Yixian and Cai Lin were stunned for a moment, then followed after them.

The three people and one snake passed through the Realm Gate and appeared in a vast world called Xiao Wu.

"How about it, young friend? Isn't our Ancient Clan's Ancient Realm quite impressive?"

This is the culmination of tens of thousands of years of hard work by our Ancient Clan.

As Gu Yuan led Zhu Zhuqing on a leisurely stroll through the Ancient Realm, he also took the time to introduce the situation of the Ancient Realm to Zhu Zhuqing.

The Ancient Clan standing nearby were dumbfounded by what they saw.

The clan chief, who is rarely seen, is leading a young woman around and explaining Ancient Clan history.

Are they seeing things or what?

Or perhaps their clan leader has finally come to his senses and is planning to find them a new Clan Mother.

Although countless thoughts were swirling in their minds, no one dared to comment; they all just glanced at each other from afar and then lowered their heads in deep thought.

"Alright, Senior Gu, that's enough. I did come to discuss something with you. We can talk about the visit to the Ancient Realm later."

As a goddess in charge of good and evil, how could Zhu Zhuqing not sense the thoughts of the people in the Ancient Realm?

Their idea of acting the Monkey for people to watch should be put on hold first; let's deal with Xiao Yixian and the others first.

"Very well, very well, look at how I've done this. This way, young friend."

Gu Yuan quickly apologized, then led Zhu Zhuqing to the reception room.

"Young friend, please speak frankly. As long as it is something my Ancient Clan can help with, my Ancient Clan will absolutely not refuse."

Gu Yuan arranged for his servants to prepare the items, then sat in the main seat and looked at Zhu Zhuqing with great enthusiasm.

After taking a sip of the tea prepared by the Ancient Clan, Zhu Zhuqing put it down and said directly, "I would like to borrow the Ancient Clan's Heavenly Tomb for my two subordinates to use."

As Zhu Zhuqing spoke, she gestured to Xiao Yixian and Cai Lin behind her.

Gu Yuan's expression froze upon hearing this, his first reaction being how could Zhu Zhuqing's face be so big?

The Heavenly Tomb is a vital site for his Ancient Clan, only opening once every hundred years. There are still several years until the next opening of the Heavenly Tomb. We can't open it early just for your two subordinates, can we?

Then his gaze swept over Xiao Yixian and Cai Lin without making a sound.

His pupils involuntarily contracted.

Are you kidding me!

Seven-star Dou Zun, eight- Dou Zun, are these two cheating?

He didn't know about Cai Lin, but he knew about Xiao Yixian. She was about the same age as his own Xun'er, and his daughter had already begun to awaken her bloodline after returning.

However, in the past four years, he has only advanced from Dou Ling to eight- Dou Zong.

And we haven't even caught up yet, but they're already almost at the Dou Zun Nine Revolutions.

This Cultivation Speed...

If Gu Yuan hadn't repeatedly confirmed that Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Yixian, and Cai Lin didn't possess the Dou Di Bloodline, he might have seriously doubted their identities.

The Cultivation Speed is terrifying.

Zhu Zhuqing just looked at Gu Yuan quietly. It wouldn't matter if Gu Yuan didn't agree.

What Xiao Yixian and her companions lack right now is time to improve their strength, and the Heavenly Tomb not only has a faster flow of time, but also countless Energy Body.

It can improve both combat skills and cultivation level, making it a pretty good treasure land in this Battle Qi Continent.

However, it's not that she can't do it. With her mastery of many laws, creating a world with a different time flow than the Battle Qi Continent wouldn't be difficult for her.

However, she wanted to make a deal with Gu Yuan. If Gu Yuan was willing to pay a price to let Xiao Yixian and Cai Lin enter the Heavenly Tomb, then she could protect the residents of the Ancient Clan in the upcoming actions of the Soul Clan.

The Soul Clan is fighting to the death this time. If she doesn't intervene, the entire Ancient Clan will be slaughtered.

For Gu Xun'er's sake, she was willing to give Gu Yuan a chance.

But if Gu Yuan is unwilling to trade, then the Ancient Clan can go to hell if they want.

She could give Gu Yuan Gu Yuan a chance out of respect for Gu Xun'er, but whether he could seize it or not depended on his own fate.

Gu Yuan was also thinking about it.

His expression as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing was too calm.

They came to borrow the Heavenly Tomb, but acted as if they didn't care.

It even had a hint of condescension.

Something's not right, something's very wrong.

"The matter of borrowing the Heavenly Tomb is of great importance and cannot be decided by me alone. I wonder if you could stay in the clan for a few more days so that I can discuss it with the clan elders?"

Gu Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking.

No one would readily agree to lend out their family heirloom for no reason.

"Um!"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently.

I understand. She shouldn't interfere in the struggles between the Eight Great Clans for no reason.

If a clan leader cannot represent the entire clan, then he/she should not be the clan leader.

Moreover, she didn't particularly like anything that could have far-reaching consequences.

Just like Xiao Yixian and Cai Lin, they were both lonely, so Zhu Zhuqing liked to keep them by her side.

But Gu Xun'er is different; she has a huge family behind her, with too many complicated and messy entanglements.

So she made a choice, but unfortunately they didn't seize this opportunity.

That's good too; it's best if both sides maintain a suitable distance.

"Then we won't bother Senior Gu any longer. It's been a long time since we've seen Xun'er. Let's go catch up with Xun'er."

Zhu Zhuqing stood up without any change in expression, took a step forward, and disappeared from Gu Yuan's sight in an instant with Xiao Yixian and Cai Lin.

This spatial teleportation technique startled Gu Yuan so much that he immediately stood up.

Only after his Spiritual Power spread out and he realized that Zhu Zhuqing hadn't wandered off but was actually going to find Gu Xun'er did he feel relieved.

However, for some reason, ever since he did not give a definite answer immediately, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
