Chapter 245: Xun'er
In the blue sky, space suddenly rippled violently, and a huge, pitch-black space gate appeared.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Figures flew out continuously, entering this unfamiliar land.
"So this is the Ancient Realm?" "The heavenly energy here is so rich, several times stronger than outside!" "Training here for a day is worth several days outside!"
Amidst the exclamations of surprise, a distant rumble echoed through the sky. Soon, they saw ten enormous flying warships, carrying the momentum of thunder, rushing towards them.
The warships quickly approached, and an old voice came from one of them. "Dear guests, please board the ships!"
Hearing this, everyone selected a ship and flew onto it.
Onboard the warships, Black Abyss soldiers armed with long spears were stationed everywhere, with a very tight defense.
Once everyone had boarded, the ships shook violently and began traversing through space.
Xiao Tian could feel that the speed of these ships was such that even a peak Dou Zun couldn't catch up. However, for someone of his current strength, this speed felt extremely slow.
After just half a day, the warships shook violently again. The spatial fluctuations dissipated, revealing a lush mountain range before the guests' eyes.
This was the Ancient Sacred Mountain Range.
As the warships neared the mountains, Xiao Tian's gaze fell upon one of the peaks, where a blue-clad figure stood.
Despite the distance, Xiao Tian recognized the figure—it was Xun'er.
The warships gradually stopped above the mountain range, and the old voice rang out again, "Dear guests, please disembark!"
One by one, figures flew off the warships, heading towards the buildings in the mountains.
"Swish!"
Suddenly, the blue-clad figure moved, stepping on the clouds to approach. Her dress fluttered, making her look like a celestial being descending from the clouds. She stopped outside the warships.
Seeing this blue-dressed woman, everyone, regardless of gender, felt a sense of awe.
The woman, dressed in light blue, had flowing black hair that extended to her slender waist. A gentle breeze caused her hair to flutter, giving her an ethereal and otherworldly aura. Her stunning beauty made the world around her seem dull in comparison. Her clear eyes sparkled like deep stars, making it hard to look away.
Such a naturally blessed beauty made everyone feel inferior.
"Brother Xiao Tian!"
Xun'er smiled radiantly and rushed towards Xiao Tian.
Ignoring the gazes of those around him, Xiao Tian opened his arms and tightly embraced her.
"Crack, crack, crack!"
Instantly, the sound of hearts breaking filled the air.
"Damn, so this guy hooked up with the Ancient Clan's heavenly daughter. No wonder the Ancient Clan members have been targeting him."
Nearby, an expressionless member of the Yan Clan spoke.
"Even if he's from the Xiao Clan, it won't be easy. After all, the Xiao Clan isn't what it used to be," Huo Zhi said as she glanced at Xun'er.
"Being able to rise from a discarded bloodline to this level is not something an ordinary person can do," another Yan Clan member said.
"Brother Xiao Tian, walk with me!" Xun'er invited with a smile.
"Sure."
Xiao Tian nodded, holding her slender hand as they flew downwards.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, nearly ten powerful gazes pressed down on him. These gazes contained immense pressure, seemingly freezing the surrounding space.
"Humph!"
Xiao Tian snorted coldly. His voice was not loud, but it felt like thunder to those individuals, making their hearts feel like they had been struck by a hammer.
"Pu!"
Instantly, they all spat out a mouthful of blood, looking around in shock, unable to determine who had attacked them.
Xiao Tian was directly overlooked by them. After all, they knew some of his background. They couldn't believe a young person who had only been cultivating for a few years could surpass their cultivation.
Xun'er's clear eyes turned cold as she looked down, her voice chilly. "How dare you! As elders of the Ancient Clan, attacking a guest of the clan, do you not know courtesy?"
"Miss, you misunderstand. We haven't seen a Xiao Clan member in years and got a bit eager to test him out," an elderly figure appeared, looking at Xiao Tian with considerable hostility.
"Elder Gu Qian, your actions today were indeed excessive. Don't let it happen again."
A soft voice echoed, causing Elder Gu Qian's face to change slightly.
"Brother Xiao Tian, was that you just now?" Xun'er asked in a low voice.
Others might not have noticed, but Xun'er felt a slight fluctuation.
"Naturally," Xiao Tian smiled. "A mere Dou Zun is nothing to me."
"Oh?" Xun'er smiled and asked, "Brother Xiao Tian, are you in the Nine Revolutions realm, or have you already transcended to Dou Sheng?"
Xiao Tian replied through voice transmission, "I'm already a two-star Dou Sheng."
"What?"
Even Xun'er was shocked. She had been cultivating in the Ancient Clan for years with abundant resources, yet she was only a Three-Revolution Dou Zun. Xiao Tian, on the other hand, had achieved much more on his own.
Xun'er pouted, "Brother Xiao Tian, you're amazing, worthy of being the man I chose!"
With Xun'er's guidance, Xiao Tian did not go to the guest accommodations but instead landed in front of a bamboo house deep in the mountains.
An elderly figure was smiling at them in front of the bamboo house.
"Uncle Ling!" Xiao Tian greeted with a smile.
"Young Master Xiao Tian," Ling Ying bowed slightly, showing respect.
"Let's go inside. This is my secluded cultivation place, rarely visited by others," Xun'er said with a smile, pulling Xiao Tian inside.
Xiao Tian nodded, satisfied with Xun'er's arrangement. If he stayed at the guest accommodations, the Ancient Clan members would constantly bother him. Although he wasn't afraid, it would be annoying.
Meanwhile, on a steep peak, a figure stood with his hands behind his back, gazing coldly at Xun'er and Xiao Tian entering the bamboo house.
"Didn't expect Xiao Tian to arrive so soon..." A playful voice sounded as a silver-robed man appeared.
"Gu Yao, it seems the lady has a good relationship with him. Are you planning to give up?" the silver-robed man asked mockingly.
"He's not of the Ancient Clan, so he cannot be with the lady," Gu Yao said coldly.
"What if he insists on staying?" the silver-robed man asked.
"Then kill him..."
