The Ancient Realm is located in the Eastern Region of the Central Plains.

Xiao Yan visited the Earth Fiend Hall once when he was cleaning it up.

Most of the forces here are subordinate to the Gu Clan, but apart from the leaders of a few forces, few people know about such a behemoth as the Gu Clan.

In the Eastern Region of the Central Plains, Ancient Saint City.

This is a city built from pale blue giant rocks, exuding an ancient atmosphere from the inside out.

"Is this the Ancient Saint City of the Gu Clan?" Gazing at the ancient and colossal city before him, Xiao Yan's lips curled into a meaningful smile. "I hope no one will make things difficult for me this time..."

According to the original story, he would have to wait until the Gu Clan Coming-of-Age Ceremony several years later to set foot here.

His cultivation level at the time should have been Five-Star Dou Zun, and he was subjected to various difficulties by the Gu Clan.

If it weren't for Xun'er mediating, they probably wouldn't even have qualified to enter the Heavenly Tomb.

Now that he's arrived here a few years earlier, still at the level of Eight-Star Dou Sheng, what kind of scene will it be?

Xiao Yan smiled and continued walking towards the city gate of the Ancient Saint City.

On either side of the massive city gate stood nearly a hundred figures clad in black armor.

They held long spears, stood ramrod straight, and exuded an extraordinary aura.

Since the Ancient Saint City is not a city that can be entered at will, almost no one enters or leaves the Ancient Saint City except on certain specific days.

Therefore, Xiao Yan's appearance here alone was extremely conspicuous, immediately attracting the attention of the guards.

The guards stepped forward and stopped Xiao Yan: "No entry without a token or invitation!"

Xiao Yan was taken aback upon hearing this.

He did indeed have a token. When Xun'er lived with him in the Small Mountain Valley, she specially gave him a jade pendant, saying that he could take it out when he went to the Gu Clan to find her, and it would ensure a smooth journey.

Xiao Yan took out a Xun'er pendant given to him by Xun'er from his Storage Ring, tossed it to the guard, and said calmly, "I am Xiao Yan of the Xiao Clan."

Xiao Yan of the Xiao Clan?!

The guards were stunned when they heard that it was Xiao Yan from the Xiao Clan, and then they stared at Xiao Yan without blinking.

There were those who were hostile, those who mocked, and those who gloated...

In the past few years, Xiao Yan's name has become a household name in the Gu Clan.

The fact that their own genius young lady had fallen in love with a young master from a fallen family was nothing short of a bolt from the blue for the Gu Clan that placed great importance on the Dou Di Bloodline and strictly prohibited intermarriage with other clans.

This instantly earned Xiao Yan the hatred and jealousy of the vast majority of the Gu Clan.

That was their Gu Clan goddess, of noble blood; how could they allow a lowly outsider to lay a finger on her?

"Xiao Yan, you actually dare to come to the Gu Clan? Do you want to die?!"

As expected, just as Xiao Yan introduced himself, an angry shout came from the city wall.

Who else could it be but our old friend Ling Quan?

Ling Quan's face was grim, his gloomy eyes coldly fixed on Xiao Yan.

He thought Xiao Yan was just joking, but he never expected that the kid would actually dare to come to the Gu Clan.

"You're incredibly audacious! Today I'll make sure you don't leave alive!"

"Black Annihilation Squad, follow me and capture this piece of trash from the Xiao Clan!"

Ling Quan smiled coldly, his palms swirling as he charged towards Xiao Yan.

Today he will capture Xiao Yan to avenge the humiliation he suffered years ago.

Swish, swish, swish!

Without the slightest hesitation, nearly a hundred Black Annihilation Army at the city gate charged towards Xiao Yan with their spears raised high.

Facing these ants, Xiao Yan didn't even lift an eyelid, and the space around him suddenly froze.

Hundreds of the Black Annihilation Army, including Ling Quan, were frozen in place without any power to resist, unable to move an inch.

"Commander Ling Quan, didn't I tell you long ago that you should lower your head when you see me? Have you forgotten already after only a few years?" Xiao Yan asked with a sneer, gripping Ling Quan's neck.

"Cough cough cough!! You bastard! This is the Ancient Saint City, how dare you act recklessly!" Upon hearing this, Ling Quan was overwhelmed by the humiliating memories of the past, causing his face to flush red. His eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

At the same time, he was also horrified.

Despite his strength as Dou Zong, he was like a child in front of Xiao Yan, without any power to resist.

"Just a useless watchdog from an Gu Clan, does he really think he's someone important?" Xiao Yan smiled faintly, casually tossing the Ling Quan in his hand to the ground, and then stomped directly on the man's head with his size 45 foot.

Whether in the original story or now, this guy always provokes Xiao Yan like a clown, and Xiao Yan doesn't want him to die so easily.

He is not the Xiao Yan from the original novel, nor does he have such a good temper.

Anyone who upsets him, he'll retaliate tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold, ten thousandfold.

If I'm already Eight-Star Dou Sheng, and I still have to be hesitant and suppress my feelings when doing things, then what's the point of cultivating all this power?

Bang!

Ling Quan's head hit the ground, the force of which nearly knocked him unconscious.

However, what he didn't know was that this was already the lightest force Xiao Yan had ever used.

Even a fart from Xiao Yan now could easily turn him into a bloody mist.

"Useless trash should be aware of its worth. Why does it always bark like a dog?" Xiao Yan controlled his strength, looking down at Ling Quan, and repeatedly crushed his foot on Ling Quan's head.

"Xiao... Yan, you deserve to die!" Ling Quan felt deeply humiliated, his eyes bloodshot, and he was panting heavily.

The greatest humiliation he had ever suffered in his life came from Xiao Yan, who stood before him. It could be said that he had long since come to hate Xiao Yan to the core.

Besides, this is the territory of the Gu Clan; he didn't believe Xiao Yan would dare to really do anything to him.

Standing behind him was Gu Clan with Nine-Star Dou Sheng as their leader, possessing formidable strength.

"You forgetful piece of trash, keeping you around is just asking for trouble!" Xiao Yan knew exactly what this guy was thinking, his face turned cold, and he gradually increased the pressure on his feet.

Creak... creak... crack... crack!

As Xiao Yan increased the pressure of his foot, Ling Quan heard the sound of his skull cracking, feeling as if his brains were about to be crushed out.

At this moment, Ling Quan finally panicked, and fear appeared in his eyes.

Only then did he realize that Xiao Yan seemed genuinely capable of killing him right here.

"You dare, kid!"

A loud shout rang out, and a figure tore through space, flying towards them.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Ling Quan, who was being trampled under Xiao Yan's feet, was overjoyed, and a look of madness flashed in his eyes.

"Xiao Yan! The reinforcements of my Black Annihilation Army have arrived! Today is your day of death..."

Pfft!

However, before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yan suddenly increased the pressure under his foot, crushing the guy's dog head with a single stomp.

"These kinds of shoes that stick to the sole are the hardest to remove," Xiao Yan said, shaking his foot with extreme disgust.

Then he set it on fire and burned it completely, leaving not even ashes.

The figure was clearly taken aback, not expecting that Xiao Yan would actually dare to kill someone in front of him.

Enraged, he unleashed a powerful attack at Xiao Yan.

"Mountain Splitting Seal!!!"

It was the signature Dou Technique of the Gu Clan, the Emperor Seal Art.

Facing the oncoming giant Dou Qi of Dou Qi, Xiao Yan instantly disintegrated it with just a glance.

Xiao Yan put away the jade pendant and took a step forward.

"I'll let you clear the mountain!"

In the next instant, he was in front of the man and slapped him across the face.

Snap!

Pfft!

The slap created a sonic boom, causing the man to spit out a mouthful of blood. His entire body was whipped around like a spinning top, spinning wildly in place.

After it finished spinning, Xiao Yan grabbed its crown with his large hand, holding it in his hand as if it were a dead dog.

They swaggered into the Ancient Saint City.

As Xiao Yan stepped in, several figures also flew towards this direction.

Their auras were all extraordinary, almost all of them having reached the Dou Zun cultivation level.

"Who are you! Why are you trespassing in the Ancient Saint City?" Seeing what Xiao Yan was holding in his hand, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all asked coldly.

They never expected that someone would be so impatient with life, not only trespassing into the Ancient Saint City but also so easily capturing a commander of the Black Annihilation Army.

Xiao Yan smiled faintly, casually tossed the dead dog in his hand away, and glanced around at the Ancient Saint City and the surrounding void.

He stood with his hands behind his back, unleashing the full power of Eight-Star Dou Sheng, his domineering dragon might filling the heavens and earth, and spoke in a loud voice:

"I am Xiao Clan Xiao Yan!"

"I've come today for two things..."
