Chapter 351 Conflict

Soul power quickly spread out from the center of his eyebrows, condensing into an invisible big hand, and collided with the hand that Gu Yao stretched out.

As the strongest person present, and because of his perspective, Gu Qingyang naturally noticed Gu Yao's sudden attack at the first time.

However, he did not intend to intervene to stop it. He stood aside and watched the development of the situation calmly.

Although Gu Qingyang had no ill will towards Xiao Ling, he even admired the descendant of the declining Xiao clan who had been able to overcome all difficulties and come to where he is today.

Gu Qingyang knew that if it were him, he would not be able to achieve the same success as Xiao Ling in such a situation.

But he also wanted to take this opportunity to test Xiao Ling, a descendant of the Xiao clan, to see how much weight he had. After all, the eldest lady of the Gu clan was not someone that anyone could get involved in.

There was a loud "bang".

The invisible hand transformed by Xiao Ling's soul power collided fiercely with the palm of the ancient demon, making a low sound.

This collision seemed to vibrate even the air. An invisible shock wave spread from the place where the two palms collided, blowing the surrounding flowers, plants and trees violently, as if a small storm swept through the courtyard.

Xiao Ling stood in place, his figure was as steady as a mountain, and even the corners of his clothes did not flutter at all. The ancient demon was a different scene. His body was hit head-on by a running beast and was directly repelled ten feet away.

The ancient demon came back to his senses, and the horror on his face was hard to hide. His attack just now was just a tentative one, and he did not use his full strength, but it was powerful enough, but the result was that he was easily repelled.

What shocked him even more was that he felt a violent shock coming from the depths of his soul, as if he was hit by a heavy hammer, and his mind was still buzzing at this moment.

Gu Yao has practiced soul skills since he was young. Although soul power is not his strong point, it is enough to compete with alchemists of the same level, far exceeding most people who only practice fighting spirit.

However, the opponent only used soul power to fight with him in the initial battle, which made him obviously at a disadvantage.

This scene was enough to make everyone present realize that although Xiao Ling's cultivation was only nine-star Dou Zong, his soul power was extremely strong, and his real combat power was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

Sensing this movement, Gu Qingyang on the side narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself:

"This Xiao Ling's soul power is really powerful. He is worthy of being an alchemist who can refine four-color eighth-grade pills. Such a terrifying soul power is probably at least in the late stage of the spiritual realm. According to the news, the four-color eighth-grade pill he refined may not be his limit. This Xiao Ling is indeed not to be underestimated."

Gu Yao tried hard to dispel the discomfort in his mind, but his face suddenly became very ugly. Of course, he had heard of Xiao Ling a long time ago, especially because of Xun'er, he had even used his connections to get a lot of information about Xiao Ling.

In the ancient tribe, Gu Yao was also one of the many suitors who admired Xun'er. It was no secret that Xun'er already had someone in her heart. Although she was kind to the suitors in the tribe, she always kept a certain distance.

Originally, because Xiao Ling won the heart of the eldest lady of their ancient tribe, Gu Yao felt very uncomfortable. Now he was at a disadvantage in the first confrontation with Xiao Ling, which made him feel extremely humiliated and could not accept this fact at all.

He, Gu Yao, the pride of the ancient tribe, rarely met an opponent among the younger generation, and few people could be compared with him. At a young age, he was already one of the four generals of the ancient tribe's black army. He was also a high-ranking official in the ancient tribe, second only to those elders in the tribe who had broken through the Dou Sheng.

And Xiao Ling, a young man from the impoverished Xiao clan, came all the way from the barren northwest continent. His conditions were far inferior to his, but he suffered a loss. How could the always conceited ancient demon accept this?

Having made up his mind, the ancient demon immediately mobilized the fighting spirit in his body, and a stream of fierce killing intent spread out, causing the temperature around to drop a few degrees, preparing to attack Xiao Ling again.

A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, as if he had forgotten the defeat just now, and only wanted to save the situation immediately.

"Ancient demon, don't be too presumptuous. Don't think I have no temper. Do you really think I won't attack you?"

Before the ancient demon continued to take action, a cry of anger exploded from the side.

At the moment when this voice fell, a golden fighting spirit pierced through the air with a lightning speed, slashed the ancient demon, and hit him hard on the surface of his body.

This stream of Dou Qi not only forced the ancient demon back several steps, but also directly interrupted the Dou Qi in his body, causing it to go mad and a mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth uncontrollably.

The three people present all turned their eyes to the source of the sound. Xun'er's face was as cold as frost, and her bright eyes, originally black and white pupils, were now flashing with golden light, adding an inviolable majesty and sacredness to her.

A majestic aura emanated from her body, and Xun'er's slender and graceful figure slowly floated up, with her toes lightly three feet off the ground, like a goddess descending to the mortal world.

On Xun'er's slender jade hand, a brilliant golden flame was leaping out, and the high temperature released by the flame was terrifying, as if the surrounding air was ignited by it and instantly became extremely hot.

This golden fire is like a small sun, dispelling all the surrounding darkness. The surrounding space seems to begin to twist and deform in front of this blazing flame, as if it has been burned through by this power, which is enough to witness the flames. Terrifying power.

When the three people present saw this flame, they immediately recognized the origin of this flame. It was the strange fire inherited by the ancient clan, the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame, which ranked fourth on the list of strange fires.

The moment the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame was summoned, the sub-fire of the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame in Xiao Ling's body also felt a kind atmosphere. It throbbed, as if paying homage to its origins.

Compared with the Zihuo in Xiao Ling's body, which only had a partial origin, the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame in Xun'er's hand was obviously more pure. Although it is not yet the complete Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame, Xun'er has already integrated part of the original power.

When Xun'er's strength is strong enough, she will be able to inherit the complete Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame. At that moment, the true power of the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame will be completely released under Xun'er's control.

But now, Xun'er just showed a little bit of this power, and it was enough to shock everyone present.

"Haha, Xun'er, Gu Yao just wants to test Brother Xiao Ling's strength, and has no other intentions. Besides, Brother Xiao Ling doesn't seem to have suffered any losses, so can we not pursue it too closely?"

Seeing that Xun'er was really angry, Gu Qingyang quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, with a hint of relaxation in his tone, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

Xun'er's reaction was indeed beyond Gu Qingyang's expectations. When she was in the ancient clan, Xun'er was always known for her indifferent personality. Apart from practicing, she always seemed not to care much about other things.

However, when it came to Xiao Ling's matter, her attitude was so determined, which made Gu Qingyang realize that Xiao Ling's status in Xun'er's heart was obviously extraordinary.

"It seems that Xiao Ling's status in Xun'er's heart is very important. I have to be more polite to him in the future." Gu Qingyang thought to himself and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that Xun'er is really moved. But Xiao Ling He can be considered young and promising, and may be worthy of Xun'er. I just hope that he can be devoted to Xun'er."

His eyes swept over Xun'er's expression again, and Gu Qingyang already had a plan in mind.

With this thought in his mind, Gu Qingyang quickly walked to Gu Yao and helped him up. Immediately, he took out a seventh-grade healing elixir from his Najie and handed it to the ancient demon to take.

The effect of the seventh-grade healing elixir was immediate, and the ancient demon's complexion improved significantly, but the previous arrogance had disappeared.

He stood next to Gu Qingyang, his head lowered, not daring to look directly in Xun'er's direction. He was obviously shocked by Xun'er's anger just now.

"Just use seventh-grade elixir to treat this minor injury. This ancient tribe is really generous. Even I can't bear to be so extravagant."

Xiao Ling witnessed Gu Qingyang using the seventh-grade elixir to heal the ancient demon without hesitation, and couldn't help but admired it and murmured in his heart.

When Xun'er heard Gu Qingyang's words, she didn't answer immediately. Instead, she turned her head and her eyes fell gently on Xiao Ling, as if waiting for his opinion and planning to make a decision according to his ideas. This scene made both Gu Qingyang and Gu Yao dumbfounded. They couldn't help but start to daydream, if Xun'er really became the patriarch of the ancient clan in the future, and Xiao Ling established a relationship with Xun'er, then whether the ancient clan's surname would be Gu or Xiao at that time.

This idea was so shocking that they didn't dare to think about it any further.

Faced with Xun'er's gaze, Xiao Ling thought for a moment and had a plan in mind, then said: "Xun'er, you can decide this matter. But Brother Qingyang is right, I did not eat it It’s no big deal, you don’t need to be too angry. It’s very harmful to your health, and besides, my Xun’er is such a beautiful person, so she can’t frown over such trivial matters.”

He knew in his heart that even if he just said a few words about the ancient demon, Xun'er would definitely make the ancient demon pay the price.

But he is not a member of the ancient clan, so it is inconvenient for him to interfere too much. It would be more appropriate to leave the internal affairs of the Ancient Clan to Xun'er, the eldest lady of the Ancient Clan.

Xiao Ling was indeed unhappy with the ancient demon's sudden attack, but he did not intend to retaliate against it by relying on Xun'er's help. He didn't want people to think that he, Xiao Ling, was a weakling who could only rely on women. Otherwise, it would be a joke.

Anyway, from Xiao Ling's point of view, there will definitely be a chance to fight the ancient demon in the future, and it won't be too late to deal with this guy then.

He is confident that when he enters the ancient clan openly and honestly, no matter whether it is the ancient demon or anyone else, if they are not convinced, he will speak with strength and beat them until they are convinced.

Hearing Xiao Ling's slightly teasing words, Xun'er rolled her eyes at him angrily, but the anger in her heart also dissipated a lot, and her face gradually softened.

Immediately, Xun'er turned her gaze and cast her eyes coldly on Gu Qingyang and Gu Yao, with a hint of undoubted majesty in her tone.

"Considering that you have not caused any substantial harm to Brother Xiao Ling, and that you have indeed made some contributions to the ancient tribe, I will not punish you too harshly." Xun'er's voice was calm and emotionless.

"But as punishment, in the next three years, your mission volume will be tripled and the merit points earned will be halved. In addition, you must now return to the Ancient Clan immediately and undergo a month of confinement in the Zongmen Law Enforcement Hall. ”

When the ancient demon heard this, he immediately knelt down on one knee and lowered his head to show his obedience: "Yes, Miss Xun'er."

Although he was still a little unconvinced, he did not dare to disobey Xun'er's instructions.

Gu Qingyang stood aside. When he saw this scene, he thought to himself: "Xun'er's punishment this time is really serious. Fortunately, I was polite to Xiao Ling before, otherwise I would have to suffer the same fate now."

As if aware of what Gu Qingyang was thinking, Xun'er's eyes turned to fall on Gu Qingyang. Her voice sounded again, this time with a hint of warning,

"Gu Qingyang, don't take it lightly. Although you were not directly involved this time, as the head of the four major metropolises, you actually allowed such a thing to happen. You should also understand your responsibility. I hope there won't be another time. ”

Gu Qingyang felt a chill in his heart and nodded quickly: "I understand, Miss Xun'er. I will pay more attention to the behavior of myself and my subordinates to ensure that there will be no inappropriate behavior again."

Xun'er's status in the ancient tribe is now very important. She has practiced alongside Xiao Ling since she was a child. The two have made progress together and have not wasted her talent in cultivation since she was a child.

Thanks to the full potential of her divine bloodline, Xun'er has already broken through to the realm of Dou Zun at such a young age.

With the ancient clan's profound skills and the heaven-destroying Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, she is also a rare match among the younger generation of the seven clans.

Those who are now stronger than Xun'er just have some age advantages.

The amazing potential Xun'er showed naturally allowed her to gain more attention and power in the clan. Coupled with her status as the daughter of the clan leader, Xun'er's voice and status in the ancient clan have far exceeded that of her at the same time in the original work, and can even be compared with some powerful elders in the clan.

In contrast, Gu Yao and Gu Qingyang's talents have not yet been fully demonstrated. Their status in the ancient tribe can only be regarded as middle-level managers. Naturally, they dare not have too many objections in front of Xun'er.

Xun'er's achievements and status are not only because of her bloodline and strength, but also because of her firm will and unremitting efforts.

Whether it is his hard work during cultivation or his calm judgment in clan meetings, Xun'er behaves more mature and wise than his actual age, and has won widespread recognition and respect from the people of the ancient clan.

Even leaving aside her status as the clan leader's daughter, Xun'er's status in the ancient clan attracted much attention and was deeply loved by the clan members.

Xun'er nodded slightly, and then whispered to the void beside him: "Mr. Yuan, please take the ancient demon capital back to the ancient clan. At the same time, please help me pass a message to the elders and tell them what I know. , will return to the ancient tribe soon, so that they don’t have to worry about me anymore.”

"As you command, Miss." A hoarse and old voice came from the void, and then, Mr. Yuan's figure slowly appeared from the void.

When Gu Qingyang and Gu Yao saw this, they immediately bent slightly and saluted Mr. Yuan to show their respect.

Mr. Yuan first bowed respectfully to Xun'er, then turned to Xiao Ling and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Yuan's figure flashed and he appeared in front of the ancient demon. "Captain of the Ancient Demons, I will take you back to the Ancient Clan next." Before he finished speaking, Mr. Yuan waved his hand, and a spatial crack several feet long was torn open in front of them out of thin air.

"Thank you, Elder Yuan."

The ancient demon said respectfully.

Mr. Yuan nodded, without saying much, and stepped into the space passage in a flash.

Seeing this, the ancient demon followed closely behind and stepped into the space passage.

However, just when the ancient demon was about to step into the space passage, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Xiao Ling. His eyes were burning with fighting spirit, and he said in a serious and solemn tone,

"Next time we meet, let's go all out to compete. I hope that by then, you can show your true strength and prove to me whether you are qualified to stand beside Miss Xun'er."

"I have taken note of your words. When that time comes, I will use my fist to tell you whether I am qualified or not. But I advise you to practice harder, so that you will not be able to block even one of my moves the next time we fight. It would be too boring if you don’t stop.”

Facing the ancient demon's declaration, Xiao Ling smiled slightly without any hesitation, and his tone was full of confidence.

Gu Yao snorted coldly, obviously disapproving of Xiao Ling's confidence: "When the time comes, I want to see if your strength is worthy of such a loud tone."

Having said that, the ancient demon said no more, moved swiftly and stepped into the space passage. Immediately, his figure disappeared into the ripples of space after a burst of distortion.

Xiao Ling looked at the space passage that was gradually beginning to heal. He raised his eyebrows slightly, with a pretended helpless expression on his face, and said half-jokingly,

"Oh, my Xun'er's charm is really unstoppable. Suitors come one after another. Such a strong opponent appeared just after we met today. It seems I have to work harder."

Looking at the place where the ancient demon disappeared, Xiao Ling raised her eyebrows slightly and pretended to be very helpless.

Xiao Ling actually didn't care much about those people from the ancient tribe who were interested in Xun'er. He has absolute confidence in his own strength and potential.

Although his cultivation may not be as good as those people now, he believes that as long as he is given enough time, he can surpass them one by one and eventually leave them far behind.

Xun'er snorted and half-jokingly said to Xiao Ling: "Huh, it's good that you know, then practice hard, otherwise you won't even be able to defeat me, how can you marry me, the eldest daughter of the ancient tribe, home?" ”
