Invitation from the Ancient Tribe

Staring at the letter in his hand, Xiao Han fell into deep thought, while Yi Huang beside him asked worriedly, "Is there a problem with the Gu Clan's invitation to you?"

"I don't know!" Xiao Han shook his head.

Xiao Han had already made arrangements for his trip to the Ancient Realm, but unexpectedly, a month before his coming -Coming-of-Age Ceremony, the Gu Clan suddenly sent him an invitation letter, which was personally written by the clan leader Gu Yuan, inviting him to the Gu Clan to discuss matters.

"However, this trip is worthwhile," Xiao Han said nonchalantly.

He didn't believe the Gu Clan had the audacity to attack him. Although he might not be able to escape from the Ancient Realm, he was certain they could wipe out two-thirds of the Gu Clan 'Dou Sheng Expert.

With such heavy losses, the Gu Clan would surely be buried with him; Gu Yuan wouldn't be so foolish.

"Are you going alone, or are you taking Xian'er and the others with you?" Yi Huang asked.

"I'll go alone; Xian'er and the others will go the other way," Xiao Han said thoughtfully.

Although it's unclear what the Gu Clan are planning, it's certain that a Gu Clan Dou Sheng will greet him, as there are some occasions where it's not appropriate for a junior to appear.

One month later.

In the Eastern Region of the Central Plains, above a plain tens of thousands of miles away from the Ancient Saint City, a dark vortex appeared, and a man dressed in white stepped out.

"This is it." After observing the surrounding environment, Xiao Han muttered to himself.

He immediately flipped his hand, and a dark blue Jade Pendant appeared. With a slight force, it turned into dust, and a strange wave spread out.

Within the Ancient Realm.

A figure sitting quietly suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, the group of figures sitting cross-legged around him were also awakened and stared at him curiously.

"Hehe, our distinguished guest from the Gu Clan has arrived," the man chuckled.

"Gu Dao, let's go and greet him!"

"Yes, clan leader!" Upon hearing this, the old man named Gu Dao, with his ethereal and otherworldly demeanor, stiffened for a moment before agreeing.

At the same time, he sighed inwardly, "Alas! What's meant to happen can't be avoided!" This shows how much psychological trauma Xiao Han had caused the former.

With a flash, Gu Dao transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and sped away towards the outside of the Ancient Realm.

Fifteen minutes later.

"Elder Gu Dao, how have you been?" Xiao Han said with a smile.

He still vividly remembered the scene when these Three Immortals of the Ancient Tribe came to the Langya Pavilion with other Ancient Races, trying to put pressure on him!

"Cough~" Gu Dao's expression was somewhat unnatural. Anyone who had been beaten half to death and returned in a sorry state would not be able to remain indifferent when they saw the culprit again.

"I am here to escort Ice Saint to the Ancient Realm. Please follow me, Ice Saint."

"Please!" Xiao Han wasn't trying to cause trouble, so he naturally didn't nitpick.

On the way, Xiao Han said with great interest:

"Elder Gu Dao, could you please enlighten me on why the Gu Clan suddenly decided to invite me to your esteemed place?"

Gu Dao gave a wry smile, "Ice Saint, please do not press further. I can only say that everything is the clan leader's will."

"Oh?" Xiao Han raised an eyebrow. "It is my honor to be valued by the Gu Clan Leader."

"Ice Saint is too modest," Gu Dao said with a smile. If a Nine Star Dou Sheng couldn't earn the attention of a clan leader, then Gu Yuan must have gone mad.

Gu Dao paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "We've arrived."

With a flick of his sleeve, the former caused Portal several tens of feet in diameter to suddenly open.

"Please come in!" Gu Dao said respectfully.

"Please!" Xiao Han stepped in first, followed closely by Gu Dao, who then closed the Portal behind him.

As soon as he entered the Ancient Realm, Xiao Han Xiao Han felt several powerful thoughts peering over, but since they meant no harm, he let them go.

Feeling the rich energy of the Ancient Realm, Xiao Han was shocked and sighed inwardly. As expected of one of the most powerful Ancient Races, the energy concentration here is incomparable to that of the Spirit Realm back then.

Just then, Xiao Han's gaze narrowed slightly as he stared at a space in front of him that showed no unusual phenomena, and he said in a deep voice, "Gu Clan Leader?"

"Hehe!" Amidst the laughter, a steady middle-aged voice rang out. "As expected of the Ice Saint."

A group of figures with an aura as vast as the Yuan Hai appeared before Xiao Han. The leader was an ordinary middle-aged man wearing a long robe, but his identity was one of the top experts in the entire Fierce Qi Continent.

While Xiao Han was observing Gu Yuan was also probing him. Based on Xiao Han's words that revealed his hiding place, Gu Yuan was certain that the other party had already broken through to the Nine Star Dou Sheng.

Having confirmed this, Gu Yuan was filled with boundless amazement.

He possessed the God Grade Bloodline of the Gu Clan, was exceptionally talented, and received substantial resource support, yet it still took him hundreds of years to reach this level.

It's certain that the Ice Saint's bone age is less than two hundred. Such a young Nine Star Dou Sheng —whether this will be a blessing or a curse for his Gu Clan in the future is anyone's guess!

His thoughts raced, Gu Yuan smiled calmly, "I hope you will forgive my audacity in inviting the Ice Saint here!"

"No need for formalities!" Xiao Han said nonchalantly, "I have long admired the Gu Clan."

Then, changing the subject, Xiao Han asked, "May I ask what brings Clan Chief Gu Yuan here today?"

"This place isn't very convenient." Gu Yuan glanced around and gestured, "Please come to the Ancient Tribe Great Hall for a chat."

Ancient Saint City.

Ye Xinlan, who was visiting for the first time, looked around curiously like a small animal seeing the outside world for the first time, without saying a word.

Compared to the former, Xian'er was extremely mature, showing no signs of the restraint one might feel upon arriving in the territory of the strongest Ancient Races. She simply followed the flow of people in a quiet queue.

Just then, the commotion in the queue ahead attracted the attention of the people queuing behind.

"Hmm?" Xian'er looked ahead, a smirk playing on her lips. "I see!"

Let's move the time forward another ten minutes.

Looking at Elder Yao and Xiao Zhan in front of him, Xiao Yan felt incredibly safe with the two saints gathered together!

He turned to Xiao Ding beside him and asked, "Brother, where is that Qing Lin girl?"

Xiao Ding replied helplessly:

"That girl wasn't paying attention and was causing trouble everywhere. As a result, she accidentally had her soul invaded by the remnant soul of an Ancient Sky Serpent, and now she's busy dealing with the mess!"

Xiao Yan teased, "Why isn't Big Brother going to keep him company?"

Xiao Ding thought to himself, "If I didn't have important business to attend to, I would have gone over there." But of course, he couldn't say that to himself now.

"Don't talk about me," Xiao Ding waved his hand, then grinned mischievously. "You just got a beating from your wife a while ago, didn't you!"

"I'd like to see how you get past Xun Er!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's face fell. He had been living in fear about this matter recently, and just when he had finally managed to temporarily ignore it, it was brought up again and he was punished!

Thinking of his supposedly adorable daughter, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Meanwhile, Elder Yao and Xiao Zhan were chatting and laughing. Seeing the invitation from the Heavenly Mansion and the presence of the Medicine Saint himself, the guards originally intended to respectfully invite them in.

Alas...

There's a fuse behind the Elder Yao!

"Are you Xiao Yan?" The city gate commander stared at Xiao Yan with a grim expression.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yan was taken aback when he heard someone ask him. Then he saw a pair of contemptuous eyes and felt a little annoyed. He hadn't provoked anyone from the Gu Clan!

"It's nothing. I hope you realize your place. Miss Xun Er is not someone you can lay a finger on!" The guard clenched and unclenched his fists, glancing at the silent Elder Yao in front of him, before finally saying something unwillingly.

He didn't have the guts to attack someone's personal disciple in front of a saint or a master of Super faction.

On the other side, upon hearing the other party's words, Xiao Yan understood the whole story. He felt helpless but didn't care about the guard's threat.

He grinned and said casually, "I'll be waiting!"

The Elder Yao and Xiao Zhan exchanged a smile. They didn't care about the grudges of the younger generation, but watching the show was human nature!

"Xiao Clan Leader, your son is quite capable!" Elder Yao transmitted his voice.

"Hey!" Xiao Zhan waved his hand, his tone light and cheerful, "Elder Yao is joking. It's just that you become like those you associate with!"

Hearing Xiao Zhan's slightly teasing words, Elder Yao shook his head speechlessly. Handsome, powerful, and with many Hong Yan companions—is that any fault of his?

However, both of them realized that this trip to the Gu Clan might be a bit difficult for Xiao Yan!
