"Hehe, Elder Huo Yao, I didn't expect the Yan Clan to send you out this time."

As Xiao Yuan's thoughts raced through his mind, Gu Nanhai suddenly turned his gaze to Huo Xuan and the other two, who had been silent since their appearance, and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the old man in the purple robe twitched his brow slightly, then said calmly:

"The clan leader instructed that it would be best to keep the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame unclaimed, as that would be good for everyone."

Although Elder Huo Yao's tone was calm, Xiao Yuan still sensed a hint of hostility in his voice.

Hearing this, Gu Nanhai shook his head with a wry smile and said:

"Elder Huo Yao, do you also believe that the disappearance of the Spirit Clan was caused by our Ancient Clan?"

Elder Huo Yao remained silent, and Huo Xuan exchanged a glance with the woman in red beside him, but neither of them chimed in.

"This matter cannot be verified, but the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan are the most suspicious. It is necessary to remain vigilant. The Yan Clan does not want the fate of the Spirit Clan."

Huo Yao remained silent for a moment before finally speaking slowly. After speaking, he nodded to Xiao Yuan, then turned and rushed to the side. Seeing this, Huo Xuan could only helplessly shrug at Xiao Yuan and follow him.

"Well"

Seeing Huo Yao leave, Gu Nanhai sighed and frowned.

"Elder Gu Nanhai need not worry. I have already promised the Yan Clan that I would go and exchange ideas with them. The misunderstanding will be cleared up then."

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and said.

"Yes, the clan chief also said that you would help solve this problem. I thank you in advance, young friend!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Nanhai sighed and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Elder, you're too kind. I did this only because it was aimed at the Soul Clan."

Xiao Yuan smiled and waved his hand.

Gu Nanhai nodded upon hearing this, then stopped dwelling on the topic. He glanced around and said, "With the emergence of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, the Thunder Clan, Yao Clan, and Shi Clan will certainly not be absent. Perhaps they will arrive here soon as well."

"The Yao Clan."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan's eyes flickered as he looked at Yao Lao, and sure enough, he saw a complex expression flash across the latter's eyes.

"Now, let's quietly wait for the best opportunity to enter the space, and then try to subdue that Purifying Lotus Demon Flame."

Gu Nanhai let out a long sigh, put his hands behind his back, raised his head, and fixed his gaze on the distorted sky in the distance.

Terrifyingly high temperatures emanated wave after wave from the ruptured space, and the milky white light appeared more and more frequently. Eventually, the desert below began to thicken, and the sand grains gradually melted.

As this desert gradually transformed into magma, the sound of wind breaking around it became more and more frequent. More and more powerful figures were attracted by the strange phenomenon here. As a result, in just half an hour, the sky was filled with numerous figures. However, most of these figures stayed far away from the shattered space. Only the truly powerful ones dared to approach within a thousand feet of the shattered space, like Xiao Yuan and the others.

While they waited, the Thunder Clan and the Shi Clan, two of the Ancient Eight Clans, arrived one after another. However, after seeing Xun'er and the Hall of Souls Master, they did not come over. Instead, after hesitating for a moment, they stepped back a distance from each other. It seems that the disappearance of the Spirit Clan made them more wary and cautious of the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan.

Faced with their reaction, Xun'er and the others could only shake their heads slightly. They had no substantial evidence to prove that the disappearance of the Spirit Clan was the work of the Soul Clan. Therefore, they were powerless to deal with this sudden suspicion.

As time passed, about half an hour after the Thunder Clan and the Shi Clan arrived, the sound of wind breaking through the air finally came again from the horizon. Faintly, within that sound, there was a faint scent of medicinal herbs – "People from the Yao Clan."

Sensing this unique fluctuation, Xiao Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. He could feel that the Yao Lao beside him had his skin tense up considerably in that instant.

"Call out!"

Under Xiao Yuan's gaze, the space in the distance rippled, and then three figures flashed out, appearing in this world in full view of everyone.

The visitors were three strangers: a man, a woman, and an old man. The man was dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, with a handsome face that even exuded a hint of effeminacy. His lips were thin, revealing a touch of coldness and meanness.

The woman beside him had long, azure hair and delicate features, but she was as cold as ice, giving off the feeling of an ice queen. As for the last old man, he was dressed in an alchemist's robe, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, his eyes slightly narrowed, and occasionally a sharp glint would flash across his eyes.

"That young man is named Yao Tian. He is the most outstanding young person in the Yao Clan. His soul power has reached the late stage of the Heavenly State. In addition, he once consumed a precious pill that was almost able to become Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill. His strength is already at the Mid-Stage One-Star Dou Saint. He can be considered the most brilliant person in the Yao Clan. It is said that he once successfully refined Ninth Grade Treasure Pill."

Gu Qingyang began sharing intelligence with Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan nodded, not very interested. Among these Ancient Race, there are endless resources. Even a pig could be turned into a powerful being. What's more, these guys all have extraordinary talents. Such achievements are naturally extremely terrifying.

"That woman is her younger sister, Yao Ling. Although her strength is only at the Initial Half-Saint, her soul is extraordinary. She is known by the Yao Clan as the person most likely to cultivate her soul to the ' Emperor Realm '."

"That old man is a very senior elder of the Yao Clan, named..."

Before Gu Qingyang could finish speaking, the Yao Lao, whose voice was slightly hoarse, interjected, "Yao Wangui, in the Yao Clan, holds the position of managing punishments. He is a man of great power and influence, and can decide the life or death of a clansman with a single word."

Xiao Yuan was slightly taken aback and looked at Yao Lao, only to see that Yao Lao was staring intently at the old man named Yao Wangui, his body trembling slightly.

"Teacher?"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yuan exchanged a glance with Xiao Yan, and then gently called out.

"I'm fine," the Yao Lao slowly exhaled and shook his head.

"Does the teacher have a grudge against Yao Wangui?"

Xiao Yan asked thoughtfully.

The Yao Lao's fist clenched slightly. After a moment of silence, he spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice:

"Back then, it was he who, unable to distinguish right from wrong, expelled me from the clan with a single word."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded silently and moved his wrist slightly.

He originally thought that beating up Yao Wangui without explanation was too arrogant.

But now it seems I was being too reasonable.

Xiao Yan also stared at Yao Wangui with a hostile expression. If it really came down to a fight, he was confident that he could kill Yao Wangui.

With the strength of Two Star Dou Sheng, Heaven-rank cultivation techniques and Dou Technique, Clan Mark, experience from Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation, plus the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame, and the amplification from his Third Brother's miraculous cultivation technique, killing a Four-Star Dou Sheng is not an impossible task for the two of them.

The appearance of Yao Wangui in the sky naturally attracted a lot of attention. The Yao Clan is a rather peculiar Ancient Race. Seven or eight out of ten of its members are alchemists, and each of them has considerable Yao Tian. As a result, alchemy has become a popular activity in the Medicine Clan Space. If it weren't for the fact that Ancient Race rarely appear in the Central State, the reputation of the Danta would probably have been greatly impacted.

After all, in some respects, the inheritance within the Yao Clan is more complete than that of the Pill Danta, which is somewhat semi-public. In every aspect, there is a significant gap between them.

However, the Yao Clan has strict rules, and only members of the clan can learn their alchemy techniques. If outsiders learn them, they will inevitably face death. This has limited the development of the Yao Clan, but there is nothing that can be done about it. Ancient Race always have some pride in their hearts when it comes to ordinary people.

In mid-air, Yao Wangui and his two companions appeared, their gazes slowly sweeping across the surroundings before settling on the three Hall of Souls Master not far away. Their brows furrowed slightly. Among the Ancient Eight Clans, the Soul Clan was the most mysterious and enigmatic, and the other clans were quite wary of them. After all, in truth, the Soul Clan was the one with the longest-standing lineage. "So the Ancient Clan have come too?"

His gaze shifted from the three Hall of Souls Master, then suddenly stopped on Yao Wangui and the others. His eyes flickered, and his gaze finally met that of Yao Lao, Xun'er was staring intently at him.

"Yao Chen, ha, I never expected that you, a discarded person, would actually have the good fortune to reach the Dou Sheng level. It truly surprises this old man."

Yao Lao Yao Wangui's, and he was slightly taken aback before smiling faintly and saying.

"Thanks to you, I'm still alive!"

The Yao Lao's eyes were somewhat gloomy as he spoke.

Despite Yao Lao's gloomy expression, Yao Wangui smiled calmly. Although Two Star Dou Sheng was strong, he was nothing in front of him.

"Is he the abandoned Yao Chen? It seems the clan once gave him a chance to return, but he stubbornly refused?"

Upon hearing Yao Wangui's voice, the handsome man raised his long eyebrows slightly and glanced at Yao Lao. His thin lips curled into a slightly sarcastic smile. The fact that Yao Lao had refused to return had been known in the clan before. When this news reached his ears, he had sneered at the man for not knowing what was good for him. Now that they met, he naturally couldn't help but mock him.

"Hehe, after wandering around outside and making a name for themselves, they always think they're very capable and become arrogant."

Yao Wangui smiled slightly, his voice neither hurried nor slow, but it was the most annoying kind of voice.

The sudden change in atmosphere was noticed by the surrounding experts, and all eyes turned to them. However, no one spoke up. The Yao Clan was Ancient Race, and ordinary experts dared not provoke them. Therefore, many people were just watching the show. It just so happened that now was not the best time to enter the space, so they decided to enjoy the spectacle. Hearing the words between the two as they chuckled, Yao Lao's body trembled slightly. He was usually calm, but being expelled from the Yao Clan was the deepest thorn in his heart. Whenever this thorn was touched, his years of cultivation would vanish, especially when the one who touched it was the very culprit who had caused him to leave the clan! Gu Nanhai's expression changed slightly, and he pulled Gu Qingyang back a little.

The people of the Yao Clan are really wasting their excellent soul perception. Xiao Yuan, who has long since reached the Heaven Realm Great Perfection, is standing here, yet they still dare to show off.

Quickly step back a bit, or blood will splatter over.

"After years of cultivation, his soul realm still hasn't reached the late stage of the Heavenly State. Such talent is rather ordinary. Since he himself gave up the opportunity to return, then the clan need not worry about him anymore."

Seeing the ashen-faced Yao Lao, Yao Tian shrugged, feeling it was pointless. After saying one more thing, he was too lazy to speak again.

He naturally wouldn't understand that with Xiao Yuan here, no matter how they sensed him, they couldn't possibly see through Yao Lao's soul power, which had already reached the Heaven Realm Great Perfection.

Yao Wangui smiled and then nodded slightly in agreement.

"Elder Gu Nanhai, Elder Huo Yao, you both saw it. The Yao Clan asked for trouble, not because I, Xiao Yuan, am arrogant!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan grinned, greeted the two elders of the Ancient Clan and the Yan Clan, and then turned to look at the three members of the Yao Clan, his face showing a cold expression.

"What are you? How dare you insult my Yao Clan like this?"

Yao Tian stared at Xiao Yuan, then a cold smile appeared on his face as he spoke.

"What right do you have to question me, you bunch of good-for-nothings who just sit around and do nothing?"

Xiao Yuan paid no attention to Yao Tian and turned to look at Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, go slap him and see if he still goes crazy."

Xiao Yuan said calmly.

"A slap?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, only one slap." Xiao Yuan nodded, then added, "If I do it more, I'm afraid you'll kill him."

These words immediately made Yao Tian laugh in exasperation.

But the next moment, his smile vanished.

"Yellow Spring Palm!"

The Clan Mark appeared between Xiao Yan's brows, and then a vast Dou Qi burst forth in an instant. As the energy gathered, under Xiao Yan's control, it quickly condensed into a deep yellow palm hundreds of feet in size. The patterns on the palm were very clear and lifelike, like a giant hand that flew in from the sky. A destructive power emanated from it.

"Late-stage Two Star Dou Sheng!?"

Sensing Xiao Yan's terrifying aura and the terrifying attack he was about to unleash, Yao Tian's expression changed drastically, his face filled with fear.

That damn slap would probably kill him on the spot! "Hmph, does my Yao Clan have no one to rely on?"

Upon seeing this, Yao Wangui was also startled, but with his strength, he naturally wouldn't take Xiao Yan's attack to heart. Immediately, his Dou Qi surged, and he was about to take action to protect Yao Tian.

"You really are a Lao Wang, interfering in the battles between the younger generation?"

Xiao Yuan sneered, then threw a punch that pierced through space and struck Yao Wangui's old face, sending him flying backward and crashing into the ground.

At this moment, both Yao Tian, who was facing the Yellow Spring Palm, and the crowd watching the spectacle were all shocked.

Four-Star Dou Sheng powerhouse was just punched into the ground like that?
