Zhu Kun Meets Gu Yuan! The Ancient Emperor Clan's Zhang?

"Brother Yao Chen, it really is you. ╰☆☆ Claws ☆☆╮"

Hua Yu suddenly stood up, intending to walk towards Yao Chen, but then realized that she had no feet.

She could also choose to travel through the void, but that would be rather unsightly. Remembering her current state, a powerful surge of Dou Qi immediately welled up within her.

A flash of pink light appeared, and the frail old woman transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman, around thirty years old—the most charming age for a woman.

"Hua Yu!" Fairy Hua appeared beside Hua Yu, looking at her and saying, "Instead of suppressing the poison, you're using your Dou Qi to regain your youth? Don't you value your life?"

"Fate?" Hua Yu's expression remained unchanged as she smiled faintly, "Having been afflicted by this Heavenly Nether Poison for over a decade, I've suffered a living hell every day. What's the point of enduring a few more years?"

She never expected to see Yao Chen again in her lifetime, and she certainly didn't want him to see her in such a disheveled and embarrassing state.

She was going to die sooner or later, and she hoped to preserve the beautiful memories in Yao Chen's mind.

"If you live long enough to last until we break through to the Dou Sheng, you might still have a chance to be cured and recover," Fairy Hua said.

"It's no use." Hua Yu shook her head and said, "If it were a few years ago, a Dou Sheng would have been willing to help me get rid of the poison and return to my peak condition."

"But now the Heavenly Nether Poison has penetrated deep into my bones. If it weren't for my powerful Dou Qi qi, I would have perished long ago. Even if Dou Sheng were to intervene, it would be useless."

"What you say is true. Even if I were to intervene, I wouldn't be able to cure the poison in your body," Zhu Kun suddenly said.

This remark caused a slight awkward silence.

Zi Yan blinked, thinking about how her father didn't seem to know how to read the room.

However, given Zhu Kun's strength, does he not need to consider the occasion?

"I never expected such a good thing to happen." Zhang Yuan smiled.

Everyone:?

You're even more outrageous than Zhu Kun.

"Yao Chen, is this the person you brought?" Fairy Hua glared angrily at Yao Chen.

Her senior sister and her best disciple had both been "harmed" by Yao Chen, and she harbored resentment in her heart.

"You actually survived and even broke through to the Half-Saint. Truly, a scourge that lives on for a thousand years," said Fairy Hua.

Yao Chen smiled awkwardly, but did not argue.

"Junior sister, don't speak carelessly." Fairy Qing appeared beside Yao Chen and gently reprimanded Fairy Hua.

"Senior Sister, you're still protecting him!" Fairy Hua said indignantly, "Back then, you were so sincere, but this bastard rejected you under the pretext of wanting to take good care of Han Feng. It's utterly ridiculous! He's a Peak Dou Zun, Eighth-Grade Nine-Colored Alchemist. Does he need to keep an eye on a disciple every single moment?"

"And then there's Hua Yu, whose talent surpasses ours and who had the potential to Becoming a Saint. However, she was severely injured because the Heavenly Nether Sect deliberately spread rumors about Yao Chen to lure her into searching for him."

"Haven't we, the Flower Sect, been harmed enough by Yao Chen?"

Yao Chen immediately rubbed his nose.

Xiao Yan silently kept his distance from this teacher.

Zhang Yuan frowned and said, "Old Yao, this is indeed your fault. Either don't provoke women, or if you do, you have to take responsibility, otherwise you're just scum."

A "scumbag" is just someone who's unfaithful; a "scoundrel" is someone with poor Human-grade.

"I have my reasons," Yao Chen sighed.

"I know," said Fairy Qing. "What you gave me back then was just an excuse. We separated because of my master's request. She told me all that before she passed away."

"As for Yu'er, it's because of me that you chose to run away."

If Yao Chen were truly a scoundrel, he wouldn't have caused Fairy Qing and Hua Yu such concern.

"Yes." Yao Chen nodded in agreement, then said, "I came here this time because I heard about Hua Yu and I want to save her."

Upon hearing this, even Fairy Hua's eyes lit up.

While Dou Sheng may be powerful, in many aspects, he may not be as reliable as Eighth-Grade Nine-Colored Alchemist.

Moreover, now that Yao Chen has become Half-Saint, he might be able to refine Rank 9 Pill.

"How can we save her?" Fairy Qing asked immediately.

"I do!" Hua Yu immediately echoed.

Xiao Yan:""

I've figured it out! This is the right way to be a winner in life!

"Young Master Yuan?" Yao Chen looked at Zhang Yuan.

"I have a better idea now," Zhang Yuan said with a smile. "Let's destroy a branch of the Soul Hall, plunder its Soul Origin, and use it to help Hua Yu recover from her soul injuries, or even break through to a higher level."

"Then, using Hua Yu Jade's own body as a base, the bones of Half-Saint will be implanted, along with the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill Bodhi Nirvana Pill, and she will be resurrected and enter the Half-Saint level."

"Alright!" Yao Chen immediately said, "Let's choose this method. The Lord of the Manor can issue a mission, and I will go and earn enough Origin Points and Mission Points."

"Wait a minute," Fairy Qing interrupted, "Is this method reliable?"

"Reliable, of course it's reliable," Yao Chen immediately explained.

He first explained Zhang Yuan's identity: a twenty-one-year-old Dou Zun.

He then explained his past and the method of his resurrection.

In addition, there is the testimony of Yao Tianhuo.

After giving the two examples, the Old Yao also introduced the Nine Abyss Mansion, the Nine Abyss Token, the Origin Points, and the Mission Points.

"Furthermore, this is the Old Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint. He was just rescued from a forbidden area by the Palace Master. If the Palace Master wanted to harm you, he wouldn't need so much scheming."

Yao Chen then revealed Zhu Kun's true identity.

With Zi Yan around, Zhu Kun will definitely bring Zheng Ge and the Ancient Void Dragon Clan to join the Nine Abyss Mansion and become Abyss Envoy.

"Nine-star Dou Saint, Ancient Void Dragon"—the hearts of the Two Immortals of Qinghua companions, trembled.

Immediately, Fairy Qing said, "Then I'll join the Nine Abyss Mansion and work with you Yao Chen, to earn Origin Points and Mission Points for Hua Yu. That should be fine, right?"

"Of course." Zhang Yuan nodded, taking out a Earth Grade Nine Abyss Token: "Welcome all Dou Huang and above experts from the Flower Sect Dou Emperor to join the Nine Abyss Mansion. The Abyss Envoy is equivalent to a guest elder, while the Abyss Guard is my direct subordinate. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, and you are free to choose."

After Fairy Qing accepted the token, Zhang Yuan continued, "However, this time, you don't need many Origin Points and Mission Points, because I want Hua Yu Fairy's lifelong cultivation and the Heavenly Nether Poison within her!"

Yun Yun was given the cultivation level of the Nine Revolutions Peak. She slowly integrated it and was expected to reach the Nine-Star Dou Zun within ten years.

However, with Zhang Yuan's help, it definitely won't take that long.

This kind of transmission of skills is not easy; it is a test of both the recipient's aptitude and the transmitter's ability.

The Heavenly Nether Poison in Hua Yu's body, which even Peak Dou Zun couldn't withstand, was perfect for Xiao Yi Xian, ensuring she wouldn't lack good poisons until she reached the Peak Dou Zun.

So she just said that this is a good thing.

"In that case, it's indeed a good thing." Yao Chen looked at Hua Yu and said, "Are you willing?"

"I already answered that, I do." Hua Yu nodded.

She met Yao Chen at the age when her heart was just beginning to blossom, and from then on, her heart could not accept anyone else.

I never imagined that someone on the verge of death would encounter such a fate in life. Why should I have any regrets?

"Then this matter is settled." Zhang Yuan nodded with a smile, "The Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill Old Yao pill can be refined in a short while, and as for the Bodhi Seed and the Half-Saint's bones needed, I will take care of those."

Bodhi Seed, there's a bunch of them on the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

There are also many Half-Saint remains under the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

"Fairy Hua Yu will transfer her internal Dou Qi to Yun'er, and Xiao Yi Xian will absorb the poison by activating her Woeful Poison Body. After taking the Seventh-Grade Ice Spirit Beauty-Preserving Pill, she can maintain her youthful appearance and remain in a state of suspended animation for ten years."

"The Rank 9 Pill would have been refined within three years."

No one had any objections to this arrangement.

Therefore, Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun will stay in the Flower Sect for the time being, preparing to cooperate with Hua Yu in transferring skills and poison. They will need some time to stabilize and improve their cultivation levels.

Old Yao will first take Xiao Yan back to the Falling Star Pavilion to recruit soldiers and adjust their forces.

Not to mention dealing with the Soul Hall, even the Heavenly Nether Sect, which is at odds with the Flower Sect, Old Yao will also exterminate.

Xiao Yan obtained a large number of Inner Elixir, enough to advance to the Peak Dou Zong within a few years, and then refine the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

"Xun'er, crush the jade slip." Zhang Yuan and Xun'er stood quietly in the Flower Sect Flower Valley the Flower Sect for several hours.

The time for parting finally arrived.

But they will soon be reunited, and then they will never be apart again.

"Click."

Xun'er crushed the jade slip.

The spatial passage opened, and one of Gu Yuan's clones stepped out from it.

"You've made it out successfully." Gu Yuan said with a smile.

"Uncle, I have not failed you." Zhang Yuan clasped his hands in a fist salute, then said, "That place is exactly what we hoped for."

Gu Yuan unconsciously clenched his hands behind his back.

The Ancient Emperor's Tomb has finally been found.

I wonder what Brother Xiao Xuan's reaction will be upon hearing this news.

"There, we also discovered the imprisoned Old Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, Senior Zhu Kun," Zhang Yuan continued.

The Old Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan?

Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

Zhu Kun was someone who had already reached the level of Nine-star Dou Saint before he was born.

"Is that senior still alive?" Gu Yuan asked, his voice trembling.

"I am, of course, still alive."

Zhu Kun suddenly appeared beside Zhang Yuan, looked Gu Yuan up and down, and said, "Late-stage Nine-star Dou Saint. It seems that the Dou Qi Continent is not without talent. Which Emperor Clan are you from?"

"My name is Gu Yuan, and I am now the Ancient Clan Chief," Gu Yuan said, clasping his hands in greeting.

"Ancient Clan?" Zhu Kun thought for a moment and said, "I've heard of them. They weren't considered major clans in ancient times. They seem to have a good relationship with the Xiao Clan. In the past, the Emperor Clan that I admired the most were the Xiao Clan and Zhang clans."

"The Xiao Clan and the Zhang clan?" Xun'er and Gu Yuan looked at Zhang Yuan.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Kun asked, puzzled.

"My mother's surname is Xiao, the Xiao of the Xiao Clan," Zhang Yuan said. "My surname is also Zhang."

"That's quite a coincidence," Zhu Kun laughed heartily. "But someone as outstanding as you must have nothing to do with the Emperor Clan. Although the Xiao Clan has produced many powerful figures, in an era when they couldn't become Emperors, they actually depleted their Dou Emperor Bloodline, and they probably became extinct a thousand years ago."

"The Old Dragon Emperor is right." Gu Yuan nodded. "A thousand years ago, the bloodline of the Xiao Clan's Emperor Clan lineage was exhausted. At that time, the Xiao Clan Chief, Xiao Xuan, had reached the Peak Dou Saint and attempted to break through to the Dou Emperor, but failed. He was also ambushed by the Soul Clan while seriously injured."

"At that time, all the Dou Sheng Expert of the Xiao Clan were seriously injured because their bloodlines were extracted. It was more than enough that my Ancient Clan sent half of its people to help. I also took action to resist the Hun Tiandi, and there were also six Emperor Clan watching us covetously."

"Brother Xiao Xuan, despite his severe injuries, killed four Eight-Star Dou Saint of the Soul Clan. Nihility Devouring Flame, Peak Eight-Star Dou Saint cultivator, was seriously injured, as was Hun Tiandi Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint."

"Pity"

Zhu Kun's eyes lit up. "This Xiao Xuan is quite a character. If I were still alive back then, I could have become friends with him. I really would like to have a drink with him."

"There will be a chance," Zhang Yuan said with a smile. "Xiao Xuan 'Xiao Clan has not completely perished yet. If he can become an emperor one day, there is still a chance to revive him."

"Brother Xiao Xuan didn't perish?" Gu Yuan was somewhat surprised, but then said with relief, "If it were him, it would be normal."

Although they were close friends, he was also a big fan of Xiao Xuan.

If it weren't for the sake of the Ancient Clan, he would have risked serious injury to kill the Hun Tiandi back then.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed his daughter, whom he had nurtured for a thousand years, to grow up in the Xiao Clan family, the direct line of Xiao Xuan.

"Compared to that, Xun'er is more curious about the Zhang Family," Xun'er suddenly said.

Zhu Kun laughed and said, "The Zhang Family is also known as the Kirin Zhang Family. It is an extremely powerful family. Zhang Yuan is definitely not a member of the Zhang Family!"
