Gu He’s body was locked by the two white-robed elders, even the flow of his Dou Qi had ceased at this moment. After struggling fiercely and still unable to escape, his vicious gaze suddenly turned to Xiao Yan, sneering coldly, “Dare to hurt me, and you are then an enemy of the Hall of Souls! I may not know what kind of backing you have, but offending the Hall of Souls will be the most foolish move!”
“Ha ha, quite a big talk, is the Hall of Souls so great?” Hearing this, the white-robed elder beside him let out an odd laugh, retorting.
Xiao Yan and the rest stepped on the void, stopping in front of Gu He, smiling faintly, “Even if we don’t do anything to you, the Hall of Souls won’t let me go. So your threat has no effect.”
At this point, Xiao Yan’s gaze turned, looking at the two elders beside, bowing his hands respectfully, “Elders, you have my gratitude.”
“Ha ha, it’s Miss’s order, no need to thank these old bones,” the black-robed elder smiled, waving his hand.
Xun Er smiled slightly, her gaze turning to Gu He, filled with malevolence, “Xiao Yan ge-ge, how do you plan to deal with this honored elder of the Hall of Souls?”
“Seal him. An honored elder is no ordinary protector; the Hall of Souls would also feel some heartache if they lost one. Perhaps when we rescue Teacher, we can use it…”
Hearing this, Gu He’s face instantly distorted, letting out a dark and icy chuckle, his face quickly flushing red. The Dou Qi inside him forcefully broke free from the restrictions of the two black-robed elders, wildly surging within!
“Be careful, he’s going to self-destruct!” Seeing Gu He in this state, Xun Er’s face changed, grabbing Xiao Yan, retreating rapidly. The faces of the two black-robed elders also fell, their palms quickly pressing onto Gu He’s body, causing deep, puffing sounds to ring out. Faint blood mist seeped through where their hands landed.
“Can’t stop, this is the unique body explosion of the Hall of Souls…”
After failing to prevent Gu He from self-destructing, the two black-robed elders frowned, shaking their heads, retreating swiftly.
As the two retreated, blood mist began to diffuse from Gu He’s skin, his eyes bulging, with blood beginning to trickle down. The crazed, violent energy surged wildly within him, distorting the space around him.
With more and more blood oozing from his body, a thunderous explosion finally sounded under the shocked gazes!
Flesh exploded, the terrifying energy swept out like a hurricane that could engulf heaven and earth!
Under such a fearsome energy maelstrom, even Xiao Yan and the others hurriedly descended, a Dou Zun’s self-destruction had tremendous power. If caught in it, the outcome would be quite tragic.
The violent energy maelstrom continued for nearly three or four minutes before gradually fading. And now, the dark sky cleared up and became bright again.
Xiao Yan frowned, looking at the dissipating energies, he didn’t expect this old man would go so far, not allowing any negotiation, choosing to self-destruct outright.
“A Dou Zun wouldn’t die so easily. This only destroys his flesh, if his soul escapes, creating a suitable new body for him would not be difficult given the Hall of Souls’ capabilities,” Heavenly Fire Venerable shook his head, somewhat regretfully, as he was the best example of this fact, making him the most authoritative source on the matter.
Xiao Yan sighed lightly, these old foxes were not easy to mess with.
“He still needs to escape…”
As Xiao Yan sighed, Xun Er beside him smiled, Xiao Yan turned to her, seeing her eyes shrouded in a golden light, faint golden light radiating from her gaze.
Xun Er’s eyes slowly scanned the horizon, suddenly stopping on an empty spot of space, her beautiful eyes raised, with a movement of her body, reappearing over there, her fair hands enveloped in golden flames, striking the vacant space!
As she punched, space fluctuated, and a palm-sized tear in space appeared.
As the spatial rift formed, Xun Er’s jade hand curved, a force of suction erupted, and soon after, a voice laced with terror sounded from the rift, and a faint spiritual form was forcibly pulled from the space!
Upon appearing, the spiritual form fiercely attacked Xun Er, but when his hand touched the golden flame, a sizzling sound occurred, followed by miserable screams echoing across the sky.
Xun Er smiled softly, her jade hand waved, golden flames engulfed the spiritual form.
Sizzle, golden flames wrapped around Gu He, shrinking rapidly when Xun Er commanded, along with the pained screams of the trapped soul, reducing the spiritual body to a fist-sized mass of golden light.
Gripping the ball of light, Xun Er descended and tossed it to Xiao Yan, laughing, “Xiao Yan ge-ge, here you go.”
Catching the light, Xiao Yan’s eyes showed awe, he himself could detect souls using the Fallen Heart Flame, but not those hidden in spatial rifts, he never expected Xun Er to achieve this.
Fetching a jade bottle from his storage ring, Xiao Yan pushed the light in, his finger running over the mouth of the bottle, creating an invisible flame circle, sealing the bottle within his storage ring, a Dou Zun level soul, perhaps usable in the future.
“Fallen Heart Flame? Didn’t Elder Su Qian get mad at you jumping around?” Seeing the invisible flame, Xun Er’s eyes curved into a crescent as she chuckled behind a hand.
Xiao Yan helplessly shook his head, smirking, “If not for you, escaping today would have been troublesome…”
“Miss received the news soon after you entered Central State, disregarding the family’s arguments, she dragged us out of the ancient realm, running through half of Central State, glad you’re okay. Otherwise, Miss really might have gone berserk. To be honest, I’ve never seen Miss enraged…”
The white-robed elder interjected, chuckling.
“Old Lin.” Blushing faintly, Xun Er chided.
“Haha, forget it, forget it…” Seeing this, the white-robed elder hurriedly waved his hand, exchanging glances with the black-robed elder, both mentally sighing. In the ancient realm, Xun Er seldom smiled, her demeanor was like ice, paired with her special identity, made her seem a goddess, hard to approach.
Who would have thought that in front of this Xiao Yan, their Miss would show a little girl’s emotions, this comforted them but also made them worry, because of her status in the ancient clan, for Xiao Yan to truly be with her faced significant hurdles, even as being his successor.
Not to mention, should Xiao Yan’s affections for Xun Er be known in the ancient realm, it would surely cause a storm, prompting countless young, irate talents to seek out Xiao Yan.
Seeing Xun Er’s blush, Xiao Yan felt a bit of warmth, though separated by vast distances, she was always paying attention, this affection was deep.
Feeling a bit lucky and proud, this girl, like a lotus in a mundane world, due to her bloodline, hardly anything stirred her heart. Yet, even before attaining divine status, she was imprinted by Xiao Yan. That imprint eventually led to Xiao Yan embracing this perfect, envied goddess…
Rubbing his dizzying head, residual effects of the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Changes, Xiao Yan glanced at the quiet Little Healer Immortal, about to speak, but realized the two women’s eyes had met, instinctively sensing a sudden rise in temperature.
“Cough…” Gently coughing, Xiao Yan introduced, “This is Little Healer Immortal…”
Turning to Little Healer Immortal, he added, “And this is Xun Er…”
Upon hearing Xiao Yan, both women smiled, each stepping forward, under Xiao Yan’s watch, stretching out their hands, delicately clasping.
Watching their clasped hands, Xiao Yan’s smile froze, realizing grey and golden currents rising from their grip.
Two exceptionally outstanding women, meeting for the first time, showcased a natural contest in front of Xiao Yan…
