In fact, Xiao Han was not courageous. How could someone who still dared not reveal his strength and identity be impulsive?

He was simply being overconfident and fearless; the opponent's strength was indeed somewhat questionable...

The Spirit Clan —they are one of only two cannon fodder-level Ancient Races in the Original work!

Even the Stone Clan, another Ancient Races considered a disgrace, had at least two members who appeared at the Gu Tribe Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

Only the Spirit Clan... aside from the description, there isn't even a minor character!

According to Xiao Han's estimation, the opposing side had long since declined, with only a dozen or so Dou Sheng in their clan, and the strongest among them would not exceed the Seven-Star Initial Stage.

If he goes all out, the entire Spirit Clan won't be able to stop him. It's a good opportunity to interact with them and see if we can find any clues about the Evil Qi in this place.

Meanwhile, the high-ranking members of the Spirit Clan who received the message from Ling Yi were also caught off guard by Xiao Han's arrival.

At this moment, in the Spirit Race Great Hall, many beautiful women sat together, with only a few males present.

Among the Ancient Eight Tribes, the Spirit Clan is the only one in which women occupy a dominant position, which is extremely rare in the Central Plains. Perhaps only the Flower Sect, which only accepts women, can surpass it.

"What brings the Ice Saint here?" one of them asked.

"I don't know. According to Ling Yi, the other party seems to be hiding something from us regarding their purpose," said an Elder in charge of this matter.

Hmm? The Spirit Race Clan Leader frowned slightly. The sudden arrival of a powerful figure with unclear motives required them to be on their guard.

The Spirit Race Clan Leader was determined not to let this Ice Saint leave their Spirit Clan.

However, the next difficult problem soon became clear.

"How should we entertain the Ice Saint?" asked the woman in purple sitting at the head of the table.

"Everyone may speak freely." The Spirit Race Clan Leader was taken aback for a moment, then said calmly.

However, what awaited them was silence.

Obviously, no one has a good answer to this question.

If Dou Sheng Expert from another Ancient Races comes to visit, the Spirit Clan can handle it very simply, since they have their own rules for these Ancient Races and can simply follow precedents.

However, the Ice Saint was just a nobody from the Central Plains, and the Spirit Clan hadn't received a top-tier expert from outside the Ancient Races for countless years.

Moreover, the strength of the Ice Saint clearly does not allow the Spirit Clan to treat him casually or perfunctorily.

Perhaps the other party won't say anything due to the power of the Spirit Clan, but their displeasure is inevitable.

It's tough!

The Elder of the Spirit Clan sighed inwardly.

"Ahem~" Seeing no one respond, the Spirit Race Clan Leader coughed lightly and said under everyone's gaze, "Since none of you can think of a solution, let's proceed according to the etiquette used to receive distinguished guests from Ancient Races!"

"Clan leader, this... I'm afraid it's not quite right?" At this moment, an Elder said hesitantly.

"Won't this cause resentment among other races?"

Although the Ice Saint is powerful and his influence in the Central Plains is not to be underestimated, he is still worlds apart from the Ancient Races.

The Ancient Races have a deep-rooted sense of pride. If they were to do something like this, they would inevitably feel resentful, which would cause trouble for the Spirit Clan.

"In the Fierce Qi Continent, strength reigns supreme. The Ice Saint's power is undeniable; he naturally deserves the respect due to my Spirit Clan. Do as I say!"

The Spirit Race Clan Leader was somewhat angry. What kind of time was this to be clinging to these so-called rules?

A sense of unease lingered in the heart of the Spirit Race Clan Leader. They were now like fat meat on the chopping block of some Ancient Races. If they didn't find a way out, the Spirit Clan's millennia-old foundation would be destroyed in an instant.

Other Ancient Races have always been the targets of their surveillance.

Besides, beings like the Ice Saint are naturally good allies of their Spirit Clan, and the several Dou Sheng Experts of the Langya Pavilion are a force to be reckoned with.

"Yes!" Sensing the unfriendly tone in the clan leader's words, the Elder dared not say anything more and quickly nodded in agreement.

Then everyone began to make arrangements for the reception.

Meanwhile, the Ling Yi outside the clan breathed a slight sigh of relief after receiving the message from their own clan.

She feared that her clan was too stubborn and would insist that she drive the Ice Saint away from this place. That would likely cause a huge problem.

"Please follow me Ice Saint." Ling Yi smiled and gestured for Xiao Han to follow.

"Then thank you very much, Fairy Ling Yi," Xiao Han returned the greeting politely.

"You're too kind." With that, Ling Yi raised her hand and formed a series of special hand seals. As her Dou Qi surged, the entire space seemed to begin to tremble.

Then, an enormous Portal suddenly opened, and Xiao Han was stunned by the magnificent scene, even losing his composure for a moment.

"Ice Saint, please!" Seemingly very satisfied with Xiao Han's reaction, Ling Yi smiled and extended an invitation to Xiao Han.

"Thank you very much then." Xiao Han came back to his senses, his understanding of the Ancient Races deepening once again.

It must be admitted that the strength of the Ancient Races that have survived for countless years lies not only in their power, but also in their profound heritage.

Back then, Burning Flame Ancestor and Pill Tower Old Ancestor had already stood at the pinnacle of the entire continent. However, after their successive passing away, Burning Flame Valley and Pill Tower remained just that.

These Ancient Races, through generations of accumulation, are unparalleled in terms of hardware.

Perhaps Xiao Han's strength could overwhelm the entire Spirit Clan, but Langya Pavilion is still far inferior to him!

Only...

This so-called welcoming scene doesn't seem to be quite what Xiao Han had imagined!

"Is the nobleman always so hospitable to a guest like me?" Xiao Han asked Ling Yi was equally dumbfounded, with a twitch at the corner of his mouth.

"This..." Hearing Xiao Han's question, Ling Yi snapped out of her daze. Full of doubt, she could only force an explanation. "Our clan hasn't had a visit from someone as outstanding as the Ice Saint for many years. Perhaps we were a little excited for a moment?"

Spirit Butterfly escorted them, a sea of flowers filled the sky, and in the distance, Ling Yu Elder, whose strength was at the Five-Star Initial Stage, waited...

Goodness gracious! This is the same setup that the Spirit Clan used to put on when entertaining the Supreme Elder of other Ancient Races.

As the two approached, Ling Yu Elder, who appeared to be an old woman, stepped forward with a gentle smile and bowed to Xiao Han, saying, "Welcome, Ice Saint, to my Spirit Clan."

"I am deeply grateful for the nobleman's hospitality." Xiao Han wiped away an imaginary cold sweat in his heart and bowed to Ling Yu Elder.

The other party is being so enthusiastic, it's putting me in a difficult position! He'll feel embarrassed to leave the Spirit Clan to their deaths in the future!

"My Spirit Clan has prepared a feast. Please, Ice Saint, take your seats with me. Our clan leader is waiting over there," Ling Yu Elder said with a smile.

"Clan... Clan Chief?" Xiao Han felt that he might have a deep misunderstanding of Ancient Races. Were they all so polite?

"I must be living in a dream, haha..."

Ling Yi kept muttering to herself, shaking her head, completely unable to believe that this was something her Spirit Clan could do.

In her memory, the Spirit Clan took rules very seriously, especially the Clan Leader. But what was the situation now?

However, this was just the beginning...
