Wind and Thunder Pavilion Is Delivering Heads Again

On this day, as dawn broke over the horizon, the disciples of the Starfall Pavilion who were practicing in the morning all turned their gazes toward the sky, where several figures stood in mid-air, their robes fluttering in the gentle breeze, exuding an extraordinary aura.

"Xiao Yuan, remember to be extra careful on this trip. If you encounter any trouble, retreat immediately!"

Wind Venerable looked at the group who were fully prepared to depart and said in a deep voice.

Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to Yao Chen beside Wind Venerable. He took a deep breath, clasped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the latter, and said, "Teacher, rest assured, even if that Dou Sheng Skeleton were to rise from the dead, this disciple could still kill it and bring it back to you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't hesitate for a moment. With a wave of his hand, he turned around abruptly and swiftly rushed towards the exit. In the blink of an eye, the group disappeared from the sight of many eyes.

"Old man, your disciple is quite formidable."

Looking in the direction where Xiao Yuan disappeared, Wind Venerable's face twitched, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Upon hearing this, the Yao Lao shook his head and smiled. He had grown accustomed to Xiao Yuan's appearance over the years.

"He and Xiao Yan are both good kids!"

"I still think this kid's unconventional personality is more interesting."

A familiar female voice rang out, Yao Lao turned his head to see Xuan Yi, who had appeared there at some unknown time.

"What? You're not welcoming me? Then I'll go back."

Xuan Yi frowned and made a move to leave.

"Hey, that's not what I meant. I meant, wasn't the Space Channel completed yesterday? You..."

Before the Yao Lao could finish speaking, Xuan Yi chuckled, then winked playfully, "I did it on purpose. Looks like you still have some conscience!"

The Yao Lao blushed and was about to use Wind Venerable to defend himself when he turned his head and saw a completely empty space.

Not a buddy? Where are you?

"They're much more perceptive than you!"

With a smile, Xuan Yi used his soul power to pull Yao Lao's hand and flew towards the depths of the Starfall Pavilion. The sun blazed in the sky, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

"Bah!"

Suddenly, the cry of a crane echoed across the silent sky, followed by a white shadow streaking across the distance, bringing with it a gust of wind as it swept through the heavens.

Only when they got closer could they see that the white figure was actually a giant crane with a pure white body, and on its broad back, several figures sat cross-legged, which was none other than Xiao Yuan and his group who had left from the Starfall Pavilion.

This journey to the Beast Region will certainly not be smooth sailing. Too many powerful individuals have been drawn to the Ancient Ruins, and obtaining what one needs in such a place is no easy task. Therefore, although Xiao Yuan is very confident, he still brought Cai Lin, Zi Yan, Heavenly Flame Venerable, and even Xiong Zhan with him. With this lineup, coupled with Xiao Yuan's current strength, they are already extremely powerful. As long as no peerless old monster appears, they are enough to roam freely in a place like the Beast Region! Of course, in addition to them, there is also his junior sister Mu Qingluan.

She comes from the Azure Luan Tribe of the Beast Region Beast Region and is quite familiar with it. With her around, it will save a lot of trouble.

"Sigh, what's so fun about the Beast Region? Why go there?"

Zi Yan had some complaints about the destination of this trip, obviously because she had eaten a lot in the Beast Region.

Xiao Yuan knew that during the time Zi Yan was missing, she had most likely gone to the so-called Beast Region, which was the place where the magical beast families of the Douqi Continent were most concentrated. Although the Void Ancient Dragon was extremely mysterious, there should be some bloodline connection between them, so Zi Yan followed this feeling and went to the Beast Region.

Hearing Zi Yan's mutterings, Cai Lin smiled slightly.

Although Zi Yan was transformed from a little girl into a beautiful woman by Xiao Yuan's medicine, her personality remained the same as before; she was still that cute little girl, which made her quite likable.

"Now, stop muttering."

Xiao Yuan smiled and shook his head, tossing a small jade bottle to Zi Yan. The latter caught it, glanced at it, and then her face lit up with joy. She poured the pills inside into her mouth like beans, chewed them for a while, and then chuckled, "That place is not as easy to navigate as Central State. Since the Ancient Ruins have now appeared in the Beast Region, if you want to get the items smoothly, you have to be prepared for a bloody battle."

"Qingluan, tell us about the power distribution in the Beast Region, so that we can prepare in advance and figure out who we should mess with and who we shouldn't."

Xiao Yuan was naturally prepared for this, so he turned his gaze to Mu Qingluan, who was sitting cross-legged to the side, and asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingluan also raised her eyes and gave Xiao Yuan a strange look. Who would have thought that this senior brother in front of her had already reached the same realm as her teacher? That was the realm she had always dreamed of!

"The Beast Region is home to nearly 70% of the magical beast families on the Douqi Continent. It is the domain of magical beasts, including the three major clans of the Beast Realm: the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, the Nine Nether Earth Python, and the Ancient Void Dragon."

Within the Beast Region, the relationships between subordinate groups are extremely strong. A powerful race can have many subordinate races, and these subordinate races are based on the main race. The entanglements between them are numerous, far more complex than the main sect and branch sects in the human world.

My race is the Azure Luan Tribe. Although we can't compare to the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, we still have some reputation in the Beast Region. My clan has nearly ten subordinate clans, and the combined strength of these clans is quite formidable.

Xiao Yuan was somewhat amazed. The unique area here had created a unique style. Although similar subordinate relationships also exist in the human world, they are far less developed and intricate than this. Sometimes, the human heart is far more complex than the heart of a beast.

"Among the Beast Region, the Nine Netherworld Python Tribe has the most affiliated races. Their numbers are the largest among the three major clans. Of course, the consequence of exchanging numbers is that the bloodline of the Nine Nether Earth Python is becoming less and less pure," Mu Qingluan said, spreading her hands. "The Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan has extremely strict control over bloodlines. Even the dead Heavenly Demon Phoenix must be buried in the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan's Forbidden Area. If outsiders obtain the corpse of Heavenly Demon Phoenix or anything else, they only have two choices: either hand it over to them voluntarily, or face their pursuit."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yuan suddenly remembered that Xiao Yan still had some Ancient Phoenix Blood Essence on him!

This trip to the Beast Region... Hehehe, this kid's going to be in trouble! "As for the most mysterious Ancient Void Dragon, I haven't heard of them having any subordinate races. Of course, that's probably because they're not interested. Otherwise, many powerful races would be eager to join them."

When the Ancient Void Dragon was mentioned, a faint look of reverence flashed across Mu Qingluan's face. Unlike the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan and the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan, which slowly rose to power, the Void Ancient Dragon has been the undisputed supreme being of all beasts since ancient times. From ancient times to the present, they have always been the most powerful beings in the Beast Realm.

Zi Yan opened her mouth, poured the last pill into it, chewed it a few times, then patted her tummy contentedly and said casually:

"The Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan isn't as powerful as you say. In the Beast Realm, there are also some exceptionally low-key clans, all descended from ancient bloodlines. These clans may be few in number, but their strength is quite formidable. Even the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan wouldn't dare to provoke them casually. Heh, just a group of descendants with a bit of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix bloodline. If their great-great-great-ancestor were still alive, they would have the right to say such things. Unfortunately, the true Ancient Heavenly Phoenix are no longer in this world!"

Furthermore, the Ancient Void Dragon is not without its subordinate races; you just don't know it.

Upon hearing Zi Yan's words, Mu Qingluan's mouth opened slightly. She had occasionally seen the name Ancient Heavenly Phoenix in the ancient books of her clan. It was said that in ancient times, this kind of Heavenly Phoenix was a peak existence that could rival the supreme demonic beasts like the Ancient Void Dragon. However, she never expected that such a secret ancient name would be spoken by this purple-haired elder sister.

"My Azure Luan Tribe is a clan with some reputation in the Beast Region. If the Ancient Void Dragon had subordinate clans, would I not know such important news?"

Although she felt that what Zi Yan said was probably true, she couldn't completely believe it without evidence, so she couldn't help but ask.

"The Azure Luan Tribe?"

Zi Yan an eyebrow, gave Mu Qingluan a strange look, chuckled, and then stopped talking.

"You"

Seeing Zi Yan's state, Mu Qingluan became somewhat angry, and Xiao Yuan, who was standing to the side, quickly stopped her.

"This Ancient Ruins is located in the Beast Skeleton Mountain Range of the Beast Region, which is considered the territory of the Nine Netherworld Python Tribe. It is rumored that there are Heaven Rank Battle Skill within the ruins, so the powerful members of the Nine Netherworld Python Tribe will likely come to get involved. The competition will be extremely fierce. Be careful, and leave as soon as you obtain the Dou Sheng Remains."

Taking a deep breath, Mu Qingluan gritted her teeth and glanced at Zi Yan, who looked completely indifferent. She said something rather angrily, then sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes. Clearly, she was quite annoyed by this mischievous purple-haired older sister.

Xiao Yuan was somewhat helpless at this scene, but Zi Yan was too lazy to complain. After eating her fill, she wanted to sleep, so she immediately hugged Cai Lin and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Cai Lin smiled helplessly. Because of the discord between Mu Qingluan and Zi Yan, the journey was quite dull. Fortunately, this dullness lasted for about four days before it was finally broken by the vast mountain range that appeared at the end of the horizon.

We've arrived at the Beast Region! Although the Beast Region is not as large as the Central State, it is still a force to be reckoned with. The endless, overlapping mountain ranges are enough to make one feel the unique and wild aura of this Beast Region.

Although the Beast Region is known as the Ten Thousand Mountains, this is only a rough estimate. If you really want to count, the number is definitely far greater than that. These mountain ranges stretch to distant places beyond human reach. Over the years, countless treasures have been left in these endless mountains, waiting for the right person to go and unlock them.

The Ancient Ruins were discovered in the Skeleton Mountain Range of the Beast Region, a place with a considerable reputation within the Beast Region. This is because the mountains possess a terrifying Bone Sea, with countless animal skeletons scattered there. Over time, these bones gradually release some strange beast power contained within them. This energy has no effect on humans, but it is a good supplement for magical beasts. As a result, the Skeleton Mountain Range have become a favorite gathering place for many magical beasts.

The Skeleton Mountain Range is located in the southwest of the Beast Region. Considering that the ruins have already been opened, and in order not to waste time, Xiao Yuan and his group headed towards the Skeleton Mountain Range again without stopping after entering the Beast Region.

The Beast Region is now in turmoil because of the emergence of the Ancient Ruins. As they headed towards the Skeleton Mountain Range, Xiao Yuan and his group encountered many powerful individuals whose destinations were clearly the same as theirs. These individuals included magical beasts capable of transforming into human form, as well as human powerhouses who had come from outside the Beast Region upon hearing the news. Clearly, the news of the emergence of the Ancient Ruins had already spread far and wide.

However, most of the people he encountered along the way were Dou Zong and a few Dou Zun expert below the four-star level, so Xiao Yuan was not afraid of them.

"Our main target this time is the remains of Dou Sheng, but if we encounter anything good, we should take it too, otherwise it would be a waste of our stellar lineup!"

Looking down at the mountains rushing past below, Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

He was quite interested in the Great Heaven Creation Palm! After traveling for two days across the vast mountain range of the Beast Region, a dazzling pale white suddenly appeared in the distance. This pale white appeared extremely incongruous in the lush green mountains, but when Xiao Yuan and the others saw it, their eyes lit up with excitement. After nearly ten days of travel, they had finally arrived at their destination.

Upon arriving here, the number of people flying across the surrounding sky increased, and every now and then a figure would fly by like a whirlwind and then rush towards the distant, pale white mountain range.

"We're almost at the Skeleton Mountain Range. Two elders from the Starfall Pavilion are scouting here. How about we meet up with them first and then discuss what to do next?"

Looking at the distant, snow-white mountain range, Mu Qingluan's expression became much more solemn. Even from such a great distance, she could still sense many exceptionally powerful auras.

"Good."

Xiao Yuan nodded slightly. The Skeleton Mountain Range was now a true melting pot of people and monsters, with all sorts of forces and powerful figures gathered there. If one charged in blindly without understanding the situation, one would likely become the target of everyone's attacks. Although he was strong, he did not want to cause any more trouble.

Seeing Xiao Yuan nod, Mu Qingluan took out an Ancient Jade from her Storage Ring and then gently crushed it.

Shortly after the Ancient Jade was crushed, a figure swiftly flew from the distant mountains and approached Xiao Yuan and his group. A moment later, the figure appeared on the giant crane and, looking at Xiao Yuan and his companions, clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

The newcomer was an old man dressed in a gray robe. On his chest was a badge of an elder of the Starfall Pavilion. However, the old man seemed to be in a slightly disheveled state, as if he had just fought with someone.

"Elder Hu, what's going on? Where is Elder Qi?"

Upon seeing the old man's appearance, Mu Qingluan was taken aback, and then said.

"Sigh," the old man called Elder Hu sighed, then said with a hint of anger, "Elder Qi and I were ordered by Pavilion Master Feng to come to the Skeleton Mountain Range to investigate the situation. Now, many powerful forces and experts have come to the Skeleton Mountain Range, and everyone is looking for a place to settle down in the mountains. Elder Qi and I were lucky enough to find a peak that is quite close to the Ancient Ruins. From there, we can find out the movements of the ruins as soon as possible. But just as we were about to set up camp there with some Starfall Pavilion Disciples, we encountered the people from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion."

"Wind and Thunder Pavilion?"

Xiao Yuan frowned. Most of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion's fighting force had followed him, and the remaining few nobody dared to come to the Beast Region and meddle in the Ancient Ruins? "They actually dared to make a move?"

Mu Qingluan's face darkened slightly, and a hint of anger appeared in her eyes. The Wind and Thunder Pavilion had already declined, so why did it suddenly become so tough?
