The power of a Dou Saint surged from Qing Luo's body and bore down on Xun'er.
The space throughout the entire hall instantly twisted and caved in.
The air seemed to solidify into an iron wall, while the crushing force of space from all directions firmly locked down Xun'er's body.
Lifting her into the air.
She could not move.
This was a Dou Saint expert's ultimate mastery over space.
The terrifying force created by spatial compression.
Like a python coiling around its prey, the invisible force gradually gathered. Even Dou Emperors and Dou Zongs would be unable to resist it in the slightest.
Bang—
Just as Xun'er's bones began to creak.
Golden flames ignited from within her body.
A layer of golden light flooded Xun'er's eyes.
The whites of her eyes were completely dyed a pale gold.
Her usual gentleness and meekness vanished.
All that remained was the domineering pride innate to the ancient Emperor Flame.
Immediately after.
Xun'er's jet-black hair transformed into radiant, dazzling golden locks, golden flames winding and flowing along every strand.
Fine golden sparks drifted from the ends of her hair.
As they fluttered softly in the wind.
Her entire body was enveloped in a noble, dazzling golden halo.
A vast aura that did not belong to Xun'er herself erupted outward...
That was the power of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame Seed Flame within Xun'er.
When Xun'er faced a life-and-death crisis.
The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame had passively protected its master, resisting Qing Luo's terrifying pressure.
"Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame... it has actually been tamed to this extent..."
Seeing this.
A trace of surprise appeared on Qing Luo's face as he spoke indifferently.
He had not attacked Xun'er because he wanted to kill her. Xun'er was the Gu Clan's imperial daughter; if he truly killed her, the Gu Clan would definitely go mad, and Gu Yuan would fight him to the death.
Other than bringing trouble upon himself.
There was no benefit at all.
Qing Luo merely wanted to test her.
To see whether this imperial daughter of the Gu Clan had any other hidden trump cards or preparations that he did not know about.
Although Qing Luo had already sealed off this space.
And made thorough preparations.
Any lapse in caution could still cause his plan to fail.
One lesson from arrogance.
Was enough.
"Senior..."
"She was entrusted to the Xiao Family to be raised. Please show mercy, Senior!"
While Qing Luo was still surprised, Xiao Zhan spoke up to stop him.
He did not know how powerful the Gu Clan behind Xun'er truly was.
But Xiao Zhan was certain.
That if anything happened to Xun'er in the Xiao Family today, the entire Xiao Family would be buried with her.
"This is a matter between this Alliance Leader and the Gu Clan. Clan Head Xiao need not worry."
Qing Luo spoke calmly.
As Qing Luo's words fell, Mo Tian Xing flashed forward and threw a punch.
The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame around Xun'er shattered with a bang.
Mo Tian Xing changed his fist into a palm.
He struck the back of Xun'er's neck, and the once-unrivaled imperial daughter of the Gu Clan immediately fainted.
This did not mean.
That Mo Tian Xing could suppress the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame within Xun'er.
In truth.
The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame inside Xun'er had long been suppressed by the aura of Qing Luo's Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.
Furthermore, Xun'er was only a Dou Zhe.
She could not unleash the full power of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame Seed Flame.
"Xun'er..."
Watching Xun'er collapse unconscious before him.
Xiao Yan snapped out of his disappointment and the pain of being deceived.
His gaze toward Xun'er was filled with reluctance.
Although Xun'er had deceived him, over the past three years, she had indeed brought Xiao Yan much warmth and confidence.
Without Xun'er.
Xiao Yan was not sure whether he could have held on.
This imperial daughter of the Gu Clan seemed never to have done anything to hurt him...
From Qing Luo's attack to Xun'er fainting.
The time seemed long.
But in truth, it had all happened in an instant.
Once the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame Seed Flame was triggered, the Gu Clan would inevitably react. If the Gu Clan had left any contingencies around the Jiama Empire.
Then.
They would soon receive the message and rush to the Xiao Family to inspect the situation.
Qing Luo swept his gaze across the hall.
He slowly raised both hands, pressing thumb to thumb and index finger to index finger, cutting out the space occupied by the Xiao Family.
He relocated the entire Xiao Family into the Misty Cloud Sect's folded space.
As a fantasy world.
The Dou Qi Continent itself contained all kinds of Secret Realms and ruins.
These folded spaces.
Were the foundation of the Dou Qi Continent.
At this moment.
The folded space Qing Luo used to relocate the Xiao Family was the Life-and-Death Gate, created by the Misty Cloud Sect's founding ancestor, the Dou Zun expert Yun Potian.
The Life-and-Death Gate was one of the Misty Cloud Sect's forbidden grounds.
It was also a folded space.
A folded space established by a Dou Zun held no secrets at all before a Dou Saint like Qing Luo.
As for all of this.
No one in the Xiao Family felt anything.
No one could have imagined that, in an instant, they had already appeared within the Life-and-Death Gate forbidden ground of the Misty Cloud Sect, thousands of miles away.
The entire hall remained deathly silent.
Everyone.
Was still immersed in Qing Luo's terrifying strength and the trouble the Xiao Family was about to face.
"Take her out first!"
Qing Luo ordered Mo Tian Xing.
"Yes!"
Mo Tian Xing nodded and carried the unconscious Xun'er out of the Xiao Family hall.
The moment he stepped out of the Xiao Family hall.
Mo Tian Xing froze where he stood.
The world around him had completely changed. Heaven and earth energy was dense, mountains towered beneath low-hanging clouds, and fierce astral winds swept through the air, capable of easily cutting through the defenses of a Da Dou Shi.
"This... is no longer the Xiao Family?"
Inside the hall.
After Mo Tian Xing left.
Qing Luo looked at Xiao Zhan and said.
"Clan Head Xiao, the eyesores have now left."
"We can discuss the matter of the Xiao Family joining the Emperor Alliance."
"First, considering the Xiao Family's insufficient strength, the Emperor Alliance will give the Xiao Family some time to grow. During this period, the pills and Cultivation Methods the Xiao Family needs will be provided by the Emperor Alliance!"
"Of course, that time will not be unlimited. At most, three years. If the Xiao Family still cannot grow to the level of a Central Plains faction after three years, then the Xiao Family will be absent from the final war of the continent and lose its chance to return to the continent's peak!"
"There is one more point to add. Regardless of whether the Xiao Family can participate in the final war of the continent three years from now, this Alliance Leader will need to borrow the Xiao Family's Tou She Ancient God Jade. I hope Clan Head Xiao will make it convenient when the time comes."
Qing Luo's words.
Sounded as though he were negotiating, but in truth, he had given Xiao Zhan no right to choose.
The three years he mentioned.
Were not time for the Xiao Family to grow, but for Xiao Yan.
A Child of Destiny.
Was a very peculiar existence.
It was a person chosen by the Plane Embryo when it sensed that the Dou Qi Continent had fallen into a bottleneck.
The fortune of the entire continent would converge upon the Child of Destiny.
Paving the way for the Child of Destiny!
A Child of Destiny would not disappear with their death.
If one Child of Destiny died, the Dou Qi Continent would likely seek out another Child of Destiny.
An endless cycle!
Until the Dou Qi Continent reopened its passage to the Great World and allowed Origin Qi to flow into the Dou Qi Continent once more.
As for Xiao Yan.
Qing Luo had never considered snuffing him out.
His intention was to nurture him. Although Qing Luo's appearance had blocked Xiao Yan's path to becoming the Flame Emperor.
With the status of Child of Destiny.
Qing Luo believed that Xiao Yan would forge another path. Its upper limit might not be as high as the Flame Emperor's, but its lower limit would certainly not be low.
