Triple Kill
"This junior is quite arrogant!"
Upon hearing this, the man in the silver lightning-patterned robe sneered. Immediately, dazzling silver lightning flashed across his body, with countless electric snakes dancing around him. From a distance, he looked like Thunder God Descent, his awe-inspiring presence terrifying.
Seeing the two people who had quickly become at each other's throats, the eyes of the many onlookers around the mountain also became burning with excitement. A battle between Dou Zun level people was quite exciting.
"Heh heh, the leader of the Starfall Pavilion is quite arrogant, actually daring to oppose three Dou Zun expert from the Wind and Wind and Thunder Pavilion."
"It seems they've come looking for revenge. The Wind and Thunder Pavilion forcibly drove away the Starfall Pavilion members and even injured some of them. I figured the Starfall Pavilion wouldn't let this go, but I didn't expect them to come so quickly."
"This place is not easy to find. Not only is Lei Xuan, the former Pavilion Master of the South Pavilion who just advanced to Dou Zun, personally in charge, but did you see the two old men next to Lei Xuan? They are the patriarchs of the Earth Tiger Tribe and the Silver Moon Wolf Tribe. They are vassal clans of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan. Given the relationship between the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, do you think they would stand idly by? Two people with strength at the peak of the second star, one with strength at the first star, three Dou Zun expert, this place is impregnable."
"However, this leader of the Starfall Pavilion looks so familiar... damn, he's prettier than a woman."
"Holy crap, isn't that Xiao Yuan, that little giant of the Danta?"
"What? It was him?"
A clamor arose, but Xiao Yuan seemed oblivious, a faint Azure Lightning rising from his body.
"Hehe, young friend, today's events were all a misunderstanding. Those two friends from the Starfall Pavilion were simply injured by Vice Pavilion Master Tian Zhen in a moment of impulsiveness."
As the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, the elderly man in a tiger-striped robe, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke with a smile.
However, before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yuan took a step forward, and his aura as Four Star Dou Zun was unleashed without reservation.
"Although my breath is already quite long, I can't stop you all from talking nonsense. Since you don't want to leave, then none of you are leaving!"
Xiao Yuan's cold voice rang out, and then three bolts of lightning were casually unleashed, shooting towards the three Dou Zun of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.
Upon seeing this, the three men's expressions changed drastically. They had clearly not expected that Xiao Yuan would actually dare to fight them all alone. They hurriedly began to build a defense.
Boom! However, what kind of strength does Xiao Yuan possess? Not to mention the overwhelming power of his Douqi Realm, the enhancement of his Dou Qi by the Heavenly Flames and Black Demon Lightning alone is enough to give opponents of the same realm a huge headache. Now, dealing with three people whose strength is far inferior to his, it is naturally a piece of cake.
Moments after the explosion, a series of muffled sounds followed. Lei Xuan lay on the ground some distance away, his body charred black, his life hanging in the balance. The other two were also weak and coughing up blood.
The three Dou Zun were defeated in a single exchange, causing the surrounding crowd to gasp in astonishment.
The little giant of the Danta is indeed terrifying! "Oh, he's thick-skinned and tough, quite difficult to kill."
Xiao Yuan chuckled lightly, then waved his arm.
An invisible wave spread out, crushing the souls of the three people!
As the three people's presence completely dissipated, the surrounding area erupted in chaos.
To casually annihilate three Dou Zun expert —what immense strength, what ruthless methods! "The rest of you, clean them up."
Xiao Yuan turned his head to look at Elders Hu and Qi, and gave them instructions.
The two men were taken aback for a moment before quickly and respectfully bowing and saying, "Yes, Young Pavilion Master!"
With the loss of its high-end combat power, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion has come to a complete end. As soon as Xiao Yuan stood there, many disciples of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion surrendered and left on their own. Before leaving, they even thoughtfully cleaned up the mess on the ground.
Of course, this does not include the corpses of the two demon beast clan leaders who were killed by Xiao Yuan.
They really can't handle this.
As for the bodies of the two from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, they were taken away by the disciples of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, while the Storage Ring were handed over to the two elders of the Starfall Pavilion.
Clearly, when it comes to survival, the allure of the Storage Ring is nothing.
"Young Pavilion Master is mighty!"
After easily handling the matter here, the disciples of the Starfall Pavilion burst into cheers. Their gazes toward Xiao Yuan were filled with even more respect and awe. When their dignity was trampled on, it was the latter who led them to stand tall and proud. At this moment, these Starfall Pavilion Disciples felt for the first time that if there was such a Young Pavilion Master, Starfall Pavilion would surely become stronger and stronger in the future.
"Call"
Mu Qingluan, who had been on edge the whole time, had now completely transformed into Xiao Yuan's little fangirl.
To casually kill three Dou Zun expert —such strength is truly enviable! "Let's set up the tents first," Xiao Yuan said with a smile.
"Yes!"
Xiao Yuan's instructions undoubtedly carried considerable weight in the hearts of the Starfall Pavilion disciples. Therefore, upon hearing him speak, all the Starfall Pavilion Disciples immediately responded in unison, then dispersed and set up their camps again.
As the battle for the campsite on the mountaintop finally came to an end, the figures in the surrounding sky shook their heads with a hint of dissatisfaction and dispersed. The great battle they had been most looking forward to had ended in such a predictable way, which was quite disappointing.
After setting up camp, Xiao Yuan, Mu Qingluan, Elder Hu, and Elder Qi gathered in the main tent.
"Senior Brother Xiao Yuan, although the problem with the Wind and Thunder Pavilion has been resolved, this is still the Beast Region. The Wind and Thunder Pavilion is on good terms with the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan. What if they make a move then?"
"We'll deal with whatever comes our way. The destroyed Wind and Thunder Wind and Thunder Pavilion isn't worth the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan's attention. However, the deaths of the two demon beast clan leaders will give the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan a reason to deal with us. But don't worry, I'll handle it."
Xiao Yuan smiled casually, walked slowly to the edge of the mountaintop, and squinted his eyes as he looked towards the center of the mountain range.
"That direction is where the Ancient Ruins were discovered."
Xiao Yuan nodded slightly. He could sense that the space there was somewhat distorted, indicating that the Ancient Ruins must have been protected by a very strong barrier set up by its owner.
"This Ancient Ruins is fraught with danger, guarded by many extremely powerful ancient corpse puppets, and also by some strange and bizarre mechanisms. Even Dou Zun expert would not dare to be careless," Elder Hu said respectfully behind Xiao Yuan. "The Ancient Ruins is hidden within Space Seal. Every once in a while, spatial fluctuations will cause some cracks to appear. During these periods, many powerful people have broken in, but most of them end up escaping in a sorry state."
"Oh?" Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow. It seemed that even after so many years, this Ancient Ruins was still not to be underestimated.
"However, no Dou Zun expert have entered before. The Space Seal has a restrictive effect. If Dou Zun expert were to forcefully enter, it would trigger an extremely strong seal counterattack. Even after countless years, ordinary Dou Zun would still not dare to test the seal set by a Dou Sheng Expert."
At this point, Elder Hu changed the subject, "However, the seal here is now quite thin. In a few more days, the seal will gradually dissipate. At that time, without the seal's protection, even Dou Zun expert can enter safely. There are quite a few Dou Zun expert around this Ancient Ruins waiting for that moment."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded, his gaze sweeping across the lush green mountains around him. With his keen soul perception, he indeed sensed some extremely subtle yet vast aura. For a moment, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. As expected of Ancient Ruins, it was able to attract so many Dou Zun expert. It seemed that this battle for the ruins would be another bloody one.
Has anyone been spotted by the Soul Hall?
Xiao Yuan suddenly had a thought and asked.
Upon hearing this, Elder Hu frowned and pondered, "I've never seen that before. However, those guys are always unpredictable. Even if they come, the two of us probably won't be able to detect them. But I guess the rumors about this Ancient Ruins have spread quite a bit, and the Soul Hall will probably get involved. I just don't know how many powerful figures will come."
Xiao Yuan nodded slightly, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"In this Skeleton Mountain Range, it's not just the Soul Hall that should be worried. The Nine Netherworld Python Tribe, as the local tyrants, are the most troublesome. These guys not only have a large number of people, but also many powerful individuals. Even the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan is unwilling to fight them. However, I find it a bit strange that this place can be considered the territory of the Nine Netherworld Python Tribe. Given their nature, they didn't choose to close off the mountain range, but instead allowed the news to spread."
Mu Qingluan asked in a low voice, somewhat puzzled.
"Nine Nether Earth Python," Xiao Yuan murmured to himself, nodding slightly. As one of the three major races in the Beast Realm, the Nine Nether Earth Python must be no ordinary force.
"Hehe, the Nine Netherworld Python Tribe is too busy taking care of itself to have any energy to deal with this Ancient Ruins," Elder Hu said with a smile.
"Too busy to take care of yourself? What happened?" Mu Qingluan asked in surprise.
"I'm not entirely sure about that either, but according to some intelligence I've gathered, some powerful members of the Nine Netherworld Python Tribe have recently disappeared without a trace. Among these missing members is a Dou Zun expert from the Nine Netherworld Python Tribe. They are currently frantically searching for the culprit. Heh heh, the most unbelievable thing is that it seems the one who attacked the Nine Netherworld Python Tribe was just one person."
Elder Hu stroked his beard and sighed.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingluan was also shocked. Who was so fierce as to dare to attack the Nine Netherworld Python Tribe? Xiao Yuan, on the other hand, seemed to be deep in thought. It sounded like his little maid was using some kind of trick.
Looking at Xiao Yuan and Mu Qingluan's expressions, Elder Hu smiled and said, "This matter has been making headlines here recently. Many people are curious about who the murderer is, that he dared to attack a local tyrant like the Nine Nether Earth Python in the Beast Region. This is truly a case of provoking a powerful figure."
Mu Qingluan nodded in agreement. Being one of the three major races in the Beast Realm was enough to demonstrate the strength of the Nine Netherworld Python Tribe. In addition, this was their territory. As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Here, even the most prestigious forces in the Central State had to give the Nine Netherworld Python Tribe some face. Unless someone was really out of their mind, no one would easily offend them. That was why he was so surprised when he heard that someone was causing trouble for the Nine Nether Earth Python in the Skeleton Mountain Range.
"Perhaps they are some old enemies."
She hesitated for a moment, then guessed.
"Who knows? If it were an enemy, then he would definitely have wiped out the Nine Netherworld Python Tribe. But judging from the rumors circulating recently, his targets are all powerful members of the Nine Netherworld Python Tribe. Even those who are weaker, even if they encounter that mysterious killer, are not killed by him."
Elder Hu smiled wryly, for he too was utterly baffled by the mysterious killer's bizarre methods.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan frowned and nodded. It seemed necessary to be careful, as the little maid had become quite capable over the years.
"Those Nine Nether Earth Python experts who encountered this mysterious killer have all disappeared without exception, and even their bodies cannot be found. This is what makes the Nine Netherworld Python Tribe somewhat panicked. You must know that the most important thing for a clan is its bloodline. No one knows if the mysterious killer is planning something by having so many Nine Netherworld Python Tribe experts."
Elder Hu.
"Hmm, let's leave this matter alone. Stay quietly on the mountaintop for the next few days, keeping a close watch on any activity from the Ancient Ruins. Also, give the order to keep everyone out of the way. The Skeleton Mountain Range is in a state of chaos right now; if something happens, it'll cause even more trouble."
Xiao Yuan naturally had his own plans, and he gave his instructions with a smile.
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Elder Hu immediately responded respectfully.
In the days that followed, the Starfall Pavilion Disciples obeyed Xiao Yuan's orders and none of them left the mountain. They spent their days cultivating and sparring on their own. In any case, the mountaintop was large enough for them to move around in, and they could occasionally receive guidance from Xiao Yuan. This made many disciples admire Xiao Yuan even more.
During this quiet wait, Xiao Yuan and the others could see that more and more powerful people were gathering at the Skeleton Mountain Range. Later, even in the dead of night, the mountain range was still bustling with noise and commotion that reached the sky.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye while we waited.
As three days passed, the distorted space at the center of the mountain range grew increasingly faint, clearly indicating that the Space Seal that had existed for countless years was about to disappear.
The fading of the seal caused the atmosphere throughout the mountain range to become extremely heated. Under the allure of the Ancient Ruins, everyone seemed to have become much more irritable. The slightest friction would escalate into a life-or-death battle in an instant. However, with Xiao Yuan in charge of the Starfall Pavilion's base, naturally no one was foolish enough to come and provoke trouble. After all, the news of Xiao Yuan casually killing three Dou Zun had already spread far and wide in recent days. Ordinary forces would naturally avoid such a formidable figure.
The seal on those Ancient Ruins has become increasingly thinner over time!
