Annihilation

Gu Realm.

Above a mountain shrouded in mist, cranes occasionally soar overhead, the drifting white clouds creating a scene reminiscent of the Immortal Realm. At the summit, atop a massive rock, a graceful figure in pale green sits cross-legged. Her long, flowing black hair is bound by a purple ribbon, which flutters in the gentle breeze. The young woman exudes an air of refined elegance.

This beautiful figure was none other than Xiao Xun Er, who had been away from Xiao Yu for over a year. No, she should be called Gu Xun Er now. The girl opened her eyes, and a magnificent aura that quietly spread out shook the surrounding clouds apart.

"Sigh, it's been a year and a half since I left!" The girl murmured, stirring up waves of longing. Just then, footsteps sounded behind her.

Xun'er's rosy lips parted slightly as she asked, "Elder Ling, are you back?"

The figure behind her suddenly stopped and said respectfully, "Miss, it's me!"

Xun'er stood up from the stone platform, looked at Ling Ying, and asked, "Where is Brother Xiao Yu now? Has he come to Central Plains yet?"

Ling Ying gave a wry smile and said, "Miss, Young Master Xiao Yu is still in the Black Corner Region Black Corner Region, and it seems he has some traces Black Corner Region as well. Presumably, he will come to Central Plains Young Master Xiao Yu he has dealt with these Soul Hall people!"

Xun'er frowned slightly and said, "The Soul Hall again? Is there any news about the Soul Hall in the clan?" As she spoke, a cold glint flashed in Xun'er's eyes!

Ling Ying shook her head slightly and said, "No, but there are rumors from the clan that the Soul Hall has been making frequent moves on the continent recently, seemingly with some kind of plan. However, the clan is not clear about it yet, but it seems that a powerful figure from the Soul Clan has made a move!"

Xun'er's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and she asked, "The Soul Clan has made a move? What about my father?"

Ling Ying continued, "Originally, the clan leader agreed that Miss could go to the Northwest Region to see Young Master Xiao Yu, but now the Space Wormhole Space Wormhole between the Central Plains and the Northwest Region has been damaged, and it will probably take another year and a half to restore its use!"

"Was it done by people from the Soul Hall?" Xun'er asked, frowning.

Ling Ying shook her head and said, "We don't really know either, but right now the most likely culprits are people from the Soul Hall!"

Xun'er felt a little worried after hearing this. She was concerned that the Soul Hall might take action against Xiao Yu this time, since Xiao Yu had killed many members of the Soul Hall in the Northwest Region!

"Alright, Elder Ling, you should go and get some rest. Since we can't go to the Black Corner Region now, so be it. I'm sure Brother Xiao Yu is quite capable of dealing with the Soul Hall. As long as the Soul Hall doesn't send a Dou Zun, there shouldn't be any major problems. Take some people and go to the Space Wormhole to assist in the repair!" Xun'er said solemnly.

Ling Ying nodded slightly and said, "That's right, I'll take my men there now!" Then she withdrew.

Xun'er stood atop the mountain, gazing at the distant scenery, and murmured, "Brother Xiao Yu, Xun'er is waiting for you in Central Plains!"

Xiao Yu had already passed through the gates of Black Emperor City Black Emperor City entered its interior. The wide streets were bustling with people, far more prosperous than the Imperial Capital of the Jia Ma Empire. Especially now that Black Emperor City was holding an auction, even more people flocked into the city!

Yun Yun approached Xiao Yu and whispered, "Someone is following us!"

Xiao Yu nodded slightly and chuckled, saying, "I know, ignore him. He's probably from the Black Emperor Sect. Let's go find Big Brother and Ya Fei first!"

Yun Yun nodded, and then the group headed towards the temporary resting place of the Underworld and the Mittel Family in Black Emperor City. The location had already been given to them by the Supervisor Gao of Black Seal City, so it didn't take long for them to arrive at the inn marked with the Underworld symbol, and the Mittel Family was right next to it.

Upon entering the inn, an old man approached and said, "Esteemed guests, this inn has been booked by people from the Underworld, so there are no rooms available. Please find another place to stay!"

Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "Big brother is quite generous, not bad, not bad. Shopkeeper, go tell the person in charge of the Underworld that Xiao Yu has arrived!"

The old man glanced at Xiao Yu with some suspicion, then sent someone upstairs to report. Not long after, footsteps were heard, and Xiao Ding Xiao Ding came down from upstairs, followed by Hai Bodong.

Xiao Yu chuckled, "Big Brother, Elder Hai!"

"Little Yu!" Xiao Ding laughed and hugged Xiao Yu. Hai Bodong also chuckled and said, "It's been a while since we last met. Looks like you haven't been idle either!"

Hai Bodong was slightly surprised to see that Xiao Yu had not released any aura. He knew that Xiao Yu was also at the Peak Dou Emperor. If Xiao Yu's strength was not obvious to Hai Bodong, then Xiao Yu's strength was probably even greater than Hai Bodong's. Wouldn't that mean Xiao Yu had entered the Dou Zong realm?

Xiao Yu looked at Hai Bodong and said, "Hasn't Elder Hai also made rapid progress recently? Hahaha!"

Hai Bodong hadn't improved his strength for a long time, but in this period, his strength had increased more than in the previous decades!

Xiao Ding greeted Yun Yun, Cai Lin, and the others one by one, and then had someone arrange for the students of the Jia Nan Academy to stay. Xiao Yu also called out to Xiao Ding as his cousin. After everyone was settled, Xiao Ding pulled Xiao Yu into the room, and Hai Bodong followed. Xiao Ding told Xiao Yu about everything that had happened recently, hoping that he could take some precautions!

The previous Xu Qian has been confirmed to be a caravan that colluded with the people of Magic Flame Valley to assassinate the Underworld. He was directly eliminated by Hai Bodong in secret. However, although Xu Qian was dealt with, Magic Flame Valley does not seem to care about his existence. Presumably, they have other methods to target the Underworld.

After listening to Xiao Ding's words, Xiao Yu frowned and said, "The Valley Master of Magic Flame Valley is named Old Ghost Di Mo, and his strength is roughly at the Seven-star Dou Zong. Most of the other experts in Magic Flame Valley are also at the Dou Emperor level. After this auction, I will lead my people to deal with Magic Flame Valley, and then the Underworld will hurry up and swallow up all the forces of Magic Flame Valley!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Ding was stunned and asked, "You... you want to destroy Magic Flame Valley?"

Hai Bodong was also somewhat surprised and said, "Xiao Yu, you said it yourself, that the Old Ghost Di Mo's strength is around the Seven-star Dou Zong. Do you already have someone who can fight against the Old Ghost Di Mo? Moreover, as an old power in the Black Corner Region, Magic Flame Valley must have many trump cards in its hands. Are you absolutely certain?"

Xiao Yu nodded slightly and said, "Of course. I wouldn't do something like that if I wasn't confident. Don't worry!"

Seeing Xiao Yu's confident demeanor, Xiao Ding agreed with some skepticism. He had been displeased with the Magic Flame Valley for a long time, but the Underworld currently lacked the strength to confront Magic Flame Valley.

After discussing for a while Xiao Yu, Xiao Ding, and Hai Bodong headed outside. Just as they reached the corner, a beautiful figure rushed into Xiao Yu's arms. Smelling that familiar fragrance, Xiao Yu gently stroked the beauty's hair and said, "You've worked hard these past few days!"
