Extraterrestrial Crisis

The Xiao Clan of the Fierce Qi Continent.

In the spacious Xiao Clan Courtyard, a tall banyan tree, as thick as several people could hug, stretched its branches and leaves to the surroundings. Sunlight filtered through the layers of its lush canopy, creating dappled patterns on the floor.

Under the shade of a tree, a young man dressed in black lay on a rocking chair with his eyes closed, swaying leisurely.

Outside the courtyard, a woman dressed in a light blue dress, exuding gentleness and intellect, carried a fruit plate into the courtyard. She quietly approached the man in black and gently placed the fruit plate on the low table next to him.

Observing the man's slightly furrowed brows in his sleep, she paused for a moment, then reached out her fair, slender, and soft hand to smooth them out.

"Um!?"

Suddenly, a large hand grabbed her soft, delicate hand without warning, causing the woman to gasp in surprise. Before she knew it, the man had opened his tightly closed eyes and was looking at the woman opposite him with a smile in his eyes.

She tried a few times to pull her hand away but to no avail, so she gave up and let the man hold her. She asked softly:

"You've looked worried lately, is something wrong?"

Upon hearing this, the man paused for a moment, then smiled calmly.

"What could possibly be wrong with me?"

"Yun'er, don't forget, your husband is now Dou Di powerhouse."

"Why would I need to worry about anything on the Fierce Qi Continent now?"

The man speaking was Xiao Yan, and the woman he called Yun'er was Yun Yun, the former Misty Cloud Sect Master.

Upon receiving Xiao Yan's denial, Yun Yun further, but instead felt a growing sense of melancholy.

Recently, Xiao Yan's subconsciously unusual behavior did not escape the notice of Yun Yun, his wife and a very perceptive person.

Even today, when faced with her questions, Xiao Yan still chooses to keep it a secret, which makes Yun Yun vaguely realize how dangerous the secret he is hiding is.

The two then lingered for a while. After Yun Yun left, Xiao Yan's expression changed instantly, and he muttered to himself:

"What exactly will happen?"

Several months ago, as his experience grew, he was able to calmly face any danger. For the first time in a long time, he felt a palpitation. The key point was that this inexplicable feeling did not fade with time, but instead became stronger, until Yun Yun noticed it now.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yan immediately stood up and, with a slight movement, entered the Xiao Clan Back Mountain, the location of the Xiao Realm.

"Why did you, little one, choose to come to my somber and solemn Ancestral Temple?"

Upon hearing of Xiao Yan's arrival, Xiao Xuan casually poured himself a cup of tea and asked with considerable confusion.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan gave a wry smile. It seemed that his earlier criticism of the Ancestral Hall being too solemn had reached the ears of Ancestor Xiao Xuan, and he was being held a grudge.

But he didn't dwell on that; instead, he asked with a slightly serious expression:

"Have our ancestors noticed anything unusual lately?"

"Um?"

Xiao Xuan, who was about to sip his tea, paused, his gaze slightly narrowed, and he put down the teacup, his tone slightly somber.

"You feel that way too?"

Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly.

"Were our ancestors like that too?"

Finally, their expressions surprisingly aligned, their faces becoming ashen.

"I initially thought it was just my imagination, but since you have similar feelings, it seems things are more complicated than they appear!"

Xiao Xuan's tone was solemn.

"Let's go see those old friends. If they're like us, then..."

Xiao Xuan shook his head.

"Perhaps we should start making plans soon."

They casually tore open a Space Rift, and then the two of them stepped inside.

The other end of the Space Rift connected to the Gu Clan. The moment Xiao Yan appeared, Gu Yuan immediately noticed him. Connecting this to the strange feeling in his heart recently, he made a certain guess.

"You two don't usually visit without a reason, it seems something big is about to happen?"

"You noticed it too?"

Xiao Xuan's expression grew more serious. Gu Yuan's proactive greeting and straightforward words made his heart sink even further.

"It seems I'm not the only one!"

The next instant, a Purple Gold Dragon Claw stretched out from the space, tearing open a crack. Zhu Kun's figure walked out of the crack. After receiving the message from Xiao Yan and the other person, Zhu Kun rushed to the Gu Clan to meet with them, and happened to witness the scene before him.

The four looked at each other in silence, each seeing a deep chill in the other's eyes.

"This time, something truly big is about to happen on the Fierce Qi Continent!"

Decades had passed since Xiao Yan became an emperor. A few years after becoming an emperor, Xiao Yan broke the seal that sealed the Dou Qi Continent and drew in Origin Qi into the continent. As a result, three Dou Di powerhouses were reborn.

However, at this moment, the fact that four Dou Di simultaneously sensed the impending crisis could not be a mere illusion, but rather a harbinger of a crisis powerful enough to affect the entire Fierce Qi Continent.

"It seems we'll have to rebuild our alliance now."

Central Plains, Langya Pavilion.

In the secret chamber, Grand Elder Ye Jianxin closed. A Green Sword floated silently in the air in front of him, occasionally shooting out invisible Sword Qi that shredded the space in which the longsword was located.

The sword and the person were connected by a barely perceptible, thin thread, and their auras gradually merged, showing a tendency to become one.

The sword's owner was enveloped by an aura as vast as the Yuan Hai. If anyone else were present, they would be astonished to discover that the other party's strength was already infinitely close to the supreme realm of the Fierce Qi Continent.

Suddenly, Ye Jianxin frowned slightly. A faint cracking sound reached his ears as the thread connecting the sword and the human world abruptly broke.

"Puff!"

Reluctantly opening his deep, dark eyes, Ye Jianxin clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.

"It's too early to say!"

Then he gave a wry smile.

"You rascal, I wonder how far ahead of me you'll be next time we meet."

Even though Xiao Han had been missing for a long time, to the experienced members of the Langya Pavilion, he was just trapped in some Ruins again. When he reappeared, he would surely have made a shocking breakthrough. Ye Jianxin was also convinced of this.

Just then, Ye Jianxin raised his eyelids, and a Communication Jade Talisman floated in front of him. After closing his eyes to sense it, a look of doubt appeared on his face. He tidied himself up slightly and left the secret room.

When Ye Jianxin arrived at the Council Hall, the Elder of the Langya Pavilion were scattered about Second Elder, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice, Nether Sky Glacial Crystal, and Xiao Wu and other juniors were all present. Yi Huang, who was seated at the head of the table, couldn't help but smile when she saw the familiar figures. She said in a relaxed tone:

"The Grand Elder's emergence from seclusion was timely; it just so happens that we have something to discuss."

"Your cultivation has improved again?"

Feeling the subtle pressure emanating from Ye Jianxin, Yi Huang's Ye Jianxin lit up with joy.

"Your Soul Strength has also become much stronger!" Ye Jianxin nodded slightly, without denying it.

"Why bring up the Alliance all of a sudden? Could it be that those things have reappeared?"

Skipping the interlude, Ye Jianxin asked in a deep voice as soon as he sat down.

Decades ago, the immense pressure from the Soul Clan prompted the Ancient Races to form an alliance with some Super faction in the Central Plains, including the Langya Pavilion.

Today, Dou Di Continent has seen the rebirth of Dou Di powerhouses. Thanks to the nourishment and enhancement of the Origin Qi that Xiao Yan guided, the overall energy of the Fierce Qi Continent is now several times greater than before, and the difficulty of breakthroughs has been greatly reduced. Over the decades, the strength of newcomers has grown rapidly, and many powerhouses who were stuck in bottlenecks have broken through one after another. The power of major forces has increased explosively.

In summary, the only reason Ye Jianxin could find the alliance reasonable was the resurgence of the Evil Clan.

"Have no idea."

However, Yi Huang shook her head, giving an answer that surprised everyone.

"Have no idea?"

Ye Jianxin was taken aback, his tone one of surprise.

"According to the message from Senior Xiao Xuan, all of their Dou Di experts have recently sensed an impending crisis."

Yi Huang's brows furrowed tightly.

"It is suspected to originate from outside the Fierce Qi Continent."
