Half-Step True Lords Guarding the Gate? A Small Witch Meets a Great Witch!

Of course, Chen Changqing understood this as well.

The Xuanyuan Clan established their Lineage foundation in a perilous situation, a dangerous move that demonstrated the Lineage's confidence and strong foundation.

In addition, the perilous natural environment of the Jedi can be used as a barrier to keep out most malicious prying eyes.

Furthermore, the ancient Daoist charm, malevolent energy, and even divine blood remnants that may remain in the perilous lands can be used to temper the clansmen.

"The Xuanyuan Clan truly deserves to be the head of the Nine Great Families!"

Chen Changqing sighed inwardly.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu turned her gaze to him and smiled faintly:

"Changqing, let's go!"

"The road to our Ancestral Land is not easy to travel."

Having said that, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu didn't linger and took the lead in flying towards the God Burial Mountain Range.

Seeing this, Chen Changqing composed himself and followed closely behind Xuanyuan Xiaoyu.

Before long, led by Xuanyuan Xiaoyu, they arrived at the Stone Forest outside the mountain range.

"Oh?"

Chen Changqing looked at the Stone Forest ahead and realized that this was no ordinary Stone Forest; a powerful array aura permeated the area within.

"It seems that to enter the Ancestral Land of the Xuanyuan Clan, we still need to pass through this Stone Forest."

Just as Chen Changqing was muttering to himself, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu lightly waved her hand.

Then, a Token appeared in her hand.

This Token is neither gold nor jade, but has a lustrous, jade-like color. On the Token is engraved an ancient longsword, which is the Xuanyuan Token held by the Xuanyuan Family.

After taking out the Xuanyuan Token, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu did not hesitate. With a thought, she directly injected a wisp of Spiritual Power into the Token.

The next moment, Xuanyuan Token glowed slightly, emitting a soft golden halo that completely enveloped Chen Changqing and Xuanyuan Xiaoyu.

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"

Chen Changqing noticed this, was slightly surprised, and asked aloud.

"Come with me!"

Xuanyuan Xiaoyu responded, and without waiting for Chen Changqing to say anything more, she took Chen Changqing's hand and stepped into the Stone Forest.

"Boom!"

As Chen Changqing and Xuanyuan Xiaoyu stepped in, the stone pillars within the Stone Forest began to tremble.

Then, the densely packed stone pillars began to automatically adjust their orientation, and a path appeared in front of Chen Changqing and Xuanyuan Xiaoyu.

Upon seeing this, Chen Changqing felt a sense of novelty, pondering that entering the Ancestral Land of the Xuanyuan Clan was indeed not an easy task.

Before Chen Changqing could think any further, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu had already pulled him onto the path.

Along the way, the surrounding scenery kept changing, and even through that golden shield, the distorted shadows outside could still be clearly seen.

In addition, there were various sounds of fighting and the roars of Gods and Devils that disturbed people's minds.

Fortunately, with the protection of that golden shield, Chen Changqing and Xuanyuan Xiaoyu were completely unaffected.

After winding and turning several times, the view suddenly opened up before us.

Upon closer inspection, one sees a smooth, mirror-like, towering black cliff at the end of the Stone Forest.

Before that cliff stood a simple and ancient gate tower, ten feet high.

On the plaque above the gate tower, the characters "Xuanyuan" are written in ancient Daoist script with bold and powerful strokes.

Have we arrived?

Chen Changqing muttered to himself and glanced at the plaque on the gate tower.

Upon looking at it, he immediately realized that the characters on the plaque contained a majestic and powerful Imperial Dao Sword Intent.

The Sword Intent alone was vast and boundless, as if it were about to suppress the Eight Desolations.

Just as Chen Changqing was examining the gatehouse, two figures suddenly appeared inside.

These two men, clad in dark gold armor, possessed an extraordinary air about them.

In particular, their cultivation level had actually reached the terrifying level of a half-step True Lord.

"Two Half-Step True Lord?"

Chen Changqing glanced at the two of them, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.

It's clear that these two are the gatekeepers.

"I never expected that the guards at the gates of the Xuanyuan Clan would be two Half-Step True Lord experts!"

Chen Changqing sighed inwardly. He had originally thought that arranging for the Black Bear and the Mystic Serpent, two Demon Race Demon Kings of the demon race, to guard the mountain gate on his Evergreen Peak was already a grand gesture.

But seeing that the gatekeepers of the Xuanyuan Family were all Half-Step True Lord, he suddenly felt that his little tricks were nothing compared to the Xuanyuan Clan.

Upon seeing that the newcomer was Xuanyuan Xiaoyu, the fierce expressions on the two guards instantly vanished, and they bowed respectfully to Xuanyuan Xiaoyu.

"Greetings, Third Miss!"

Xuanyuan Xiaoyu smiled faintly and said, "Open the door!"

"Yes!"

Then, the two Half-Step Heavenly Monarch guarding the gate each cast a wondrous Method Formula, leading the way into the gatehouse.

"Boom..."

With a heavy rumble, the seemingly seamless black cliff face slowly parted inwards from the gatehouse.

Before long, a passage paved with warm white jade appeared before Chen Changqing and Xuanyuan Xiaoyu's eyes.

In addition, a rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi emanated from the passage.

"Um?"

Chen Changqing glanced at it, and was immediately struck by a jolt, inwardly sighing:

"Such abundant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and... and it's only within this passage."

Just as Chen Changqing was lost in thought, a voice suddenly came from not far away:

"Oh! Cousin, you're back!"

Upon hearing the sound, Chen Changqing and Xuanyuan Xiaoyu turned around at the same time.

Upon closer inspection, two figures could be seen slowly approaching from not far away.

The two were a man and a woman. The man was a young man wearing a brocade robe embroidered with golden dragon patterns. He had a handsome face, but his eyes and brows carried an undisguised arrogance and sharpness.

The woman following closely behind the young man was dressed in a pale yellow dress. She was beautiful, but her eyes flickered with uncertainty and a hint of fear.

The two Half-Step True Lords guarding the gate bowed slightly upon seeing the man.

"Greetings, young master!"

The young man nodded indifferently, his gaze fixed directly on Xuanyuan Xiaoyu.

Upon seeing the young man, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu's previously calm face immediately darkened, and a flash of disgust crossed her eyes.

"Xuanyuan Ao, I don't know you."

After a brief silence, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu spoke coldly, her tone filled with estrangement.

"Cousin, you..."

Upon hearing Xuanyuan Xiaoyu's words, Xuanyuan Ao was taken aback, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

But he quickly recovered, and a playful smile returned to his lips.

After glancing at Xuanyuan Xiaoyu, Xuanyuan Ao's gaze shifted, and he noticed Chen Changqing standing next to Xuanyuan Xiaoyu.

"Cousin, who is this?"

As he said this, a barely perceptible glint of coldness flashed in Xuanyuan Ao's eyes. He had noticed that Chen Changqing and Xuanyuan Xiaoyu were holding hands intimately.

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu glared at Xuanyuan Ao without warning, but didn't hide anything and replied:

"Xuanyuan Ao!"

"He is my fiancé, Chen Changqing."
