As the sun set, a blood-red sun hung slanting on the horizon, releasing the last heat to the land.
Chen Guan and Xiao Yan returned in the sunset. No outsiders were present. Xiao Yan also relaxed. He kept marveling at the shock he had experienced today with Chen Guan. From time to time, he even imitated Elder Tong Xuan's gestures with his hands. Obviously, he was very envious of such powerful strength.
Chen Guan listened quietly, but it was undeniable that he was also envious in his heart.
Dou Sheng!
It seems close to Dou Zun, but Chen Guan still has a long way to go to reach that step. Calculated carefully, it can be said that there are more than ten small realms...
While he was sighing in his heart, suddenly, Chen Guan stopped in his steps and stared at the hut not far away with a solemn expression.
"Brother Guan, what's wrong?"
After walking a few steps, I noticed something unusual about him. Xiao Yan suddenly became nervous and quickly stepped back and asked.
"It's okay, I'm too worried."
With his mind spinning, Chen Guan smiled in relief and strode towards the house.
He could feel that there was a strong uninvited guest waiting in the house at this moment.
Its strength is even greater than the previous Elder Tong Xuan.
At the beginning, Chen Guan was instinctively vigilant, but then he thought about it. If a person of this strength really had bad intentions, he would not be aware of it in advance.
Therefore, they are probably not enemies.
At this moment, the curiosity is even greater.
Pushing the door open, you can see the small space and the house is empty.
"Senior, please show up, why bother?"
Xiao Yan was still searching everywhere, and even Spiritual Power used it. Chen Guan focused on the extra teacup on the table, and simply sat down and said.
"Haha, my little friend's sensitivity is something I've never seen before in my life, but I'm rude."
A chuckle came from next to Xiao Yan, which frightened Xiao Yan. He quickly looked back and saw that there was another person on the chair next to him.
The person who came was middle-aged, dressed in cloud-white robes, with a slender figure and extremely handsome appearance. However, his skin was a bit whiter than ordinary people. Sitting next to Xiao Yan, who was already a bit dark and dressed in black, he looked like black and white.
As soon as the man appeared, he gently cupped his hands, his posture was very low, and there was no trace of the arrogance of a super strong man.
This gesture also made Chen Guan more certain that he was not looking for trouble.
"Senior is so complimentary, I dare to ask senior..."
"Oh, I almost forgot, I Ling Chong[chōng]." The man replied with a polite smile. His smile faded as soon as it appeared. It was obvious that he felt a little forced, as if he had too many worries in his heart.
"Spirit Clan?" Xiao Yan blurted out, then quickly closed his mouth and smiled, indicating that it was not intentional. You continue, I won't interrupt.
It's no wonder Xiao Yan thinks so. The surname Ling is not common in the first place. In addition, he has been dealing with Eight Ancient Clans recently, so it's hard not to think about it.
Including Chen Guan, I think so too.
At the same time, I couldn't help but take a few more glances at this incredibly kind... senior.
Spirit Clan, this race has no sense of existence in Original Trajectory. Even their clan leader's name has not appeared once, which can be said to be quite soy sauce.
But there is a saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Spirit Clan is last among Eight Clans, its strength is not comparable to those of Central Plains.
Just like this Ling Chong, it is definitely the genuine Dou Saint Expert! "As the two little friends thought, I am indeed the man from the Spirit Clan."
Ling Chong's affirmative answer also made Chen Guan somewhat understand the other party's attitude, including where the unconcealable worry came from.
After all, Spirit Clan is suffering and has completely become a testing ground for the Soul Clan.
In such a situation, it would be weird if the other party could still laugh.
"Senior, did you come to us specially?"
Chen Guan asked very directly. He felt like there was something wrong with him. Just now, he, a little Six-Star Dou Venerate, actually sympathized with a Dou Saint Expert...
As for whether the other party came for them, it is easy to guess. After all, Heavenly Tomb and Spirit Clan gave up their quota this time. It makes no sense that the entire Spirit Clan is in dire straits, and a strong person will be sent out to watch the ceremony to relax.
After a slight hesitation, Ling Chong nodded truthfully.
"To be honest with you, this time Spirit Clan gave up the quota to enter Heavenly Tomb. At the same time, I kindly ask Gu Yuan to return the quota to the Xiao Clan and let Gu Xun'er invite the children to participate. This is all my suggestion."
Ling Chong narrated, Chen Guan and Xiao Yan listened quietly and thought carefully.
This senior should have a high status in the Spirit Clan.
After all, he can call Gu Yuan by his first name.
"Both of you must have heard something about it. Spirit Clan is in a very bad situation right now. The entire Spirit Clan is basically blocked and monitored. Even when we came out this time, we had to thank Gu Yuan for help. A lot of effort was wasted."
"And the reason why I took such pains to invite you to meet me is because of the puppets that appeared in the Spirit Realm from time to time. Some time ago, I received a message that these puppets were largely modeled after a puppet captured by the other party."
At this point, Chen Guan already understood.
"Old Man Mu Gu?"
"That's right! We found that this information was deliberately left by someone among the puppets who entered Spirit Realm. The person who left behind also stated that 'Old Man Mu Gu' was created by this little friend."
Hearing this, Chen Guan suddenly felt a little happy in his heart.
Although this was not polite to the Spirit Clan, Ling Chong's words made Chen Guan confirm the status of Li Chang'an.
There is no doubt that this former classmate is the only one who has the motive to do this in the Soul Clan.
Compared to the Spirit Clan, Li Chang'an is Chen Guan's friend. It is indeed good news for him to know that the other party is safe.
"That's why I came out in person this time just to ask my friend to follow me to the Spirit Clan after Heavenly Tomb comes out. I believe that with the help of my friends, Spirit Clan will be able to deal with those puppets more easily and even counterattack to reduce unnecessary sacrifices. In this regard, my friend is the best at it."
Ling Chong clasped his fists and stated his purpose. His attitude was quite sincere and he did not blame Chen Guan. This is undoubtedly very endearing.
Even Xiao Yan, who was listening next to him, couldn't help but look at Chen Guan, thinking that he would definitely nod in agreement.
After all, if this thing is going to happen, you can get the friendship of the entire Spirit Clan! Although the other party has not promised anything, the more it is like this, the richer the reward will be, which is much better than those who say they will always be VIPs. This is the law that Xiao Yan has summarized after many years of traveling abroad.
However, they were all disappointed.
Chen Guan almost didn't think about it, just shook his head and refused.
Are you kidding me? Soul Clan is now very ambitious, and the Millennium Plan has been launched. Nihility Devouring Flame may personally take action to destroy Spirit Clan at any time. If he goes to the Spirit Clan, wouldn't he fall into a trap? Nine-star Dou Sheng's Nihility Devouring Flame, even if Chen Guan now has some life-saving means given by Old Dragon Emperor, there is absolutely no possibility of escaping.
If they really meet, they will die without rebirth! "I'm sorry, senior, I'm powerless in this matter. After returning from Heavenly Tomb, I have to go to Dragon Island where Ancient Void Dragon is. Moreover, Chen Guan doesn't think that my research on puppets can surpass the thousands of years of soul... Eight Ancient Clans's foundation."
Except that going to Dragon Island is an excuse, the rest are all the truth.
Even if the official Puppet Mastery is lost, no one knows whether they have preserved the details of Eight Ancient Clans.
Furthermore, Chen Guan has not forgotten what his teacher said at the time. The Human Puppet Technique he inherited is only a part of it and is not complete.
With Chen Guan's rejection, Ling Chong sighed softly and his face became visibly depressed.
It was obvious that even though he tried his best to smile, he still knew in his heart that Spirit Clan was in a critical situation.
In fact, maybe this time inviting Chen Guan to the Spirit Clan is with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, just to slightly prolong the time when the Spirit Clan crisis comes, and it is by no means a complete change of fate.
After all, it's just to numb yourself.
In desperate situations, it is always customary to magnify the small hope infinitely.
Ordinary people are like this, let alone Eight Ancient Clans who has enjoyed a transcendent status for thousands of years.
Soul Clan was able to defeat Spirit Clan's detached mentality, and now a Dou Saint Expert can communicate with Chen Guan, a little Dou Zun, in a very low profile. This is already a huge change.
Seeing Ling Chong not speaking for a long time and frowning, Chen Guan was affected by it and felt helpless.
After a long time, Chen Guan broke the silence.
"Senior Ling Chong, although I can't go to the Spirit Clan in person, I am willing to do my part."
As he said that, Chen Guan waved his hand, and a row of puppets fell on the open space outside the door. They were the dozen or so puppets he had obtained in Ancient Remains.
After being baptized by Dragon Island Void Thunder Pool, these puppets without exception evolved into Heavenly Demon Puppet. After forming a formation, they were enough to deal with a five- or six-star Dou Venerate Expert.
"I got these puppets by chance, and then I simply improved them. There are traces of me in them. I gave them to my seniors. Spirit Clan might be able to use them to come up with better ways to deal with the puppets that appeared in the Spirit Realm."
The simple truth is, since Soul Clan can study Chen Guan's puppet, then Chen Guan will let Spirit Clan also study it. By then, everyone will be familiar with it, and it will be much easier to deal with it.
As for these dozen puppets, are they precious? For sure.
Enough to match the combat power of a five Six-Star Dou Venerate.
However, this little bit of combat power has little impact on today's Chen Guan.
He gave it to the Spirit Clan to compensate for Old Man Mu Gu's mistake of 'losing' it.
Or, it can also be seen as forming a good relationship.
After a while, if Spirit Clan is still destroyed, there is nothing Chen Guan can do.
But if Soul Clan's plan goes wrong, this good cause will be of great use.
Chen Guan would also like to remind Ling Chong to transfer those talented Younger Generations from the Spirit Clan as soon as possible. Remembering what Ling Chong said before, the entire Spirit Clan was blocked and monitored, and he could only press the button immediately.
If it were really possible, maybe Spirit Clan would have started this step long ago.
Phew~Ling Chong took a long breath of depression, but without saying a word, he folded his hands heavily and disappeared into his seat.
Also disappearing together was a row of puppets outside the door.
On the table in front of Chen Guan and Xiao Yan, a snow-white and traceless high-grade Storage Ring is extremely conspicuous.
"Is this what Senior Ling Chong left behind?"
Xiao Yan asked knowingly, and then at Chen Guan's nod, he picked it up and penetrated it with Spiritual Power.
Then, he was confused.
I can't get in, I can't get in no matter what!
"Brother Guan, it seems there is a restriction, please try."
Chen Guan heard the words and took it, and also tried to infiltrate with Spiritual Power, but soon felt blocked by a solid portal.
"It is indeed ownerless, but Senior Ling Chong left a restriction. I, Spiritual Power, have to break through a small realm, or Dou Sheng, before I can break it."
"Well, this Senior Ling Chong is also... strange. Just give it as a reward, and leave a restriction. Isn't it just making things difficult?"
Xiao Yan complained for a while, but he really couldn't understand the intention of Ling Chong.
To be honest, Chen Guan doesn't understand either.
But it didn't matter. He didn't expect anything in return for giving those puppets.
As for this Storage Ring, just pay attention to it, and it will give him one more reason to practice hard.
"Don't think about it. Senior Ling Chong must have deep intentions for doing this. Practicing well and getting ready for Heavenly Tomb is the first priority. After entering Heavenly Tomb, you will have to fight for real."
