Stronghold of the Beast Family from the Southern Continent

After discovering this Human Hall, Xiao Xuan did not delay and rushed over at top speed!

Who could have imagined that someone unknown would intercept and steal his prize!

The key was that it would have been one thing if the other party had simply killed everyone here, but they had even left behind his name!

It was clearly an attempt to frame him!

But they didn't stop to think, who was he, Xiao Xuan?

Would he ever let himself be used as a shield?

Xiao Xuan released his soul power, searching within a radius of a hundred miles!

Very quickly, he sensed an unusual aura within a spatial rift.

Xiao Xuan immediately changed the name on the main hall to Gu Nanhai.

Then, he slashed his palm across the space in front of him, tearing open a rift, and quickly darted inside, pursuing that trace of aura!

It didn't take long for him to catch up to that person.

He saw that the individual was completely shrouded in black mist.

However, amidst that black mist, there was a faint churning of blood-red color.

Xiao Xuan reached out his palm, and a terrifying suction force, like a black hole, swept toward the person ahead.

It quickly enveloped that person!

Only then did the person realize what was happening, albeit a step too late.

"Xiao Xuan! How did you find me?"

The person exclaimed in shock.

He had believed his actions were seamless.

He hadn't left a single flaw behind!

Xiao Xuan gave a cold laugh: "You forgot, this one possesses a Di-state soul; wanting to track you is merely a matter of spending a little time, it is not difficult at all!"

"Damn it!" The person cursed under his breath and darted out of the spatial rift.

He then dove into yet another rift!

He repeated this process over and over.

Attempting to shake off Xiao Xuan!

However, no matter how he fled, it was as if Xiao Xuan had installed a tracker on him.

He could always find him with unerring accuracy!

Xiao Xuan was in no rush to strike.

Being hunted by a predator who refuses to make the kill is a form of torture for the prey!

The person could no longer stand it and intended to resist to the death!

Xiao Xuan merely pointed a finger, and a ripple of soul power surged outward.

It instantly immobilized the person's movements.

"Damn it, Xiao Xuan, what exactly do you want?!"

Xiao Xuan remained expressionless.

"To toy with you until you die!!"

"Are you truly going to tear off the mask completely!"

"If you knew it would come to this, why did you do it in the first place!"

"Xiao Xuan, every debt has its debtor; the current state of your Xiao Clan has nothing to do with us, you should go seek revenge on Hun Tiandi!"

"I will naturally go find him, but none of you will be able to escape either!"

Whoosh!

As he spoke, Xiao Xuan unleashed a soul technique, condensing his soul power into an ancient, simple seal!

He struck the person dead, and as always, threw the soul into the Heavenly Tomb!

At this moment.

Xiao Xuan received a message from the Ancient Void Dragon clan.

Zi Yan was about to completely refine the Dragon Phoenix Crystal Layer.

Xiao Xuan happened to have matters that required the help of the Ancient Void Dragon clan.

He decided to head to the Ancient Void Dragon clan first.

On Ancient Dragon Island, following the slaughter of the other three Dragon Kings by Xiao Xuan!

The Ancient Void Dragon clan, which had been divided for thousands of years.

They had also successfully unified.

However, no one in the clan had celebrated yet.

Because their Dragon Emperor was still refining the Dragon-Phoenix Crystal Layer.

Almost everyone in the clan was gathered in one spot on Ancient Dragon Island.

Gazing up at the sky.

There, a massive purple energy sphere encased Zi Yan.

Faintly, one could see that petite figure as the color of the purple energy sphere gradually faded.

The figure was actually growing bit by bit.

Time ticked away, second by second.

During the wait, Xiao Xuan turned to Qing Shan beside him and said, "Your Ancient Void Dragon clan is highly skilled in spatial techniques; there is a matter for which I need Zi Yan's help."

"Brother Xiao Xuan has done such a great favor for our Ancient Void Dragon clan; we will certainly do our utmost regarding this matter," Qing Shan immediately declared.

As they spoke, blinding purple beams of light suddenly erupted from within the purple sphere!

Then, a beautiful silhouette dressed in a purple-gold gown, with a curvaceous figure, appeared before everyone's eyes.

Behind her, a pair of purple-gold wings, a zhang in length, flapped gently, with the faint sound of wind and thunder echoing from them.

Moreover, having refined the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit and with the help of a vast amount of heaven-sent treasures from the Ancient Void Dragon clan.

Zi Yan's strength had now reached that of a one-star Dou Saint.

"Heavenly Phoenix Wings, Ancient Dragon Body!"

Qing Shan and the others were overcome with excitement.

"Welcome, Lord Dragon Emperor!"

Every member of the Ancient Void Dragon clan knelt down, shouting in unison.

However, Zi Yan paid them no mind.

She flashed over to stand before Xiao Xuan.

She spun around in mid-air.

With a giggle, she asked:

"Hehe, Big Brother Xiao Xuan, you really didn't lie to me. I've really grown up! Take a look, how is it? Am I pretty?"

Although she had transformed into her current form, her personality had not undergone the earth-shattering changes seen in the original timeline.

She still retained that same old tsundere nature and innocence.

Xiao Xuan smiled. "Congratulations."

"When I see that girl named Xun Er again, I must make her see who is bigger!"

Zi Yan placed her hands on her hips.

She couldn't wait to compare herself to Xun Er immediately!

Qing Shan and the others could only turn their heads away.

Pretending they hadn't heard or seen anything.

Xiao Xuan was also left between laughter and tears.

After a while, Xiao Xuan got straight to the point: "Zi Yan, you are now also skilled in spatial techniques. There is a matter I might need your help with."

Zi Yan patted her well-developed chest. "Small problem! Leave it to me."

The two left Ancient Dragon Island.

Heading toward the Demonic Flame Plains!

"Damn it, I've always heard that this place, the Central Plains, is very prosperous and known as the center of the Dou Qi Continent. How come it looks like it's been raided by bandits? The energy is so thin it's pathetic!"

In the Southern Region of the Central Plains, above a ruin in the Starry Sky Mountain Range, two figures with horns on their heads and rabbit-like ears stood in mid-air.

One of them took a bite of the fruit in his hand, immediately spat it out, and his face twisted as if he had eaten a fly.

The other rolled his eyes in disgust.

He took a step forward and twitched his nose slightly.

"The air is permeated with a faint scent of blood. A battle occurred here, and... quite a few humans died. Palus..."

Before he could finish his sentence.

Palus slapped him on the head. "Slupa, you've grown bold! Do you think I can't see the corpses all over the ground? Do I need you to tell me?"

"Hehe, I was just throwing out a suggestion!"

"Smack!"

"Oh, you've been with humans for a while now, and you've even learned such phrases! You've really grown capable!"

Palus slapped Sparu on the head once again!

The two of them had come from the Southern Isle in the south of the continent.

They were the vanguard force dispatched by the Savage Bull Clan.

According to the ancient texts they had consulted, there were eight clans in the Central Plains, each controlling a key capable of opening the Dou Di Abode.

The purpose of Palus and Sparu's arrival was to ascertain the strength of these clans.

Once done, they were to send word back so the clan could dispatch their forces!

The distance between the Southern Isle and the Central Plains was vast; even for a Dou Saint, crossing it was no easy feat, and constructing a spatial wormhole was even more difficult!

For this trip, several Dou Saint-level powerhouses within their clan had expended a great deal of their essence blood, spent hundreds of years, and failed over ten thousand times before they finally managed to successfully construct a single spatial wormhole.

Who could have known that upon arriving, all they would see was a scene of decay.
