Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

After a few days,
As the Soul Suppressing Court launched a frenzied offensive against the Soul Palace, it seemed to enter a brief period of silence after a series of heavy blows.

Standing atop the Mountain Range of the Dead Souls, Xiao Yue's silver hair cascaded down her back, her blood-red eyes were deep, and she gazed at the mysteriously shrouded beast realm in the distance, secretly plotting in her heart.

The calm on the Soul Palace's side was truly beyond her expectations. In the past few days, she had destroyed several Earthly Fiend Palaces, including hundreds of Soul Palace's secret strongholds in the Central Plains, but the Soul Palace remained calm and undisturbed, as if the losses were insignificant to the Soul Palace.

This made Xiao Yue frown slightly, as her previous actions had been somewhat of a test.

It seems there are only two possibilities: either the Soul Palace's internal Dou Sheng is unable to act or is in seclusion and therefore has no time to deal with her, or the Soul Palace is secretly plotting something big.

If it's the first scenario, it means that the highest combat power the Soul Hall can currently mobilize is probably only a half-saint, on par with Yao Chen. It is precisely because of Yao Chen that the Soul Hall is now somewhat hesitant to act rashly.

If it's the second one, then we have to be extra careful... As the saying goes, a barking dog doesn't bite! Xiao Yue prefers the second one.

She definitely wants to visit the ancient ruins in Zhongzhou, as the Soul Palace might use this as an opportunity to make their move.

……

Half a month later,

As the turmoil in the Central Plains gradually subsided, the Soul Suppressing Court also temporarily withdrew its sharp edge. However, beneath this calm, an even more turbulent undercurrent was brewing.

The sky was a clear, deep blue, without a single cloud. Looking up, it resembled a giant piece of blue glass, its clarity and depth reflecting the images of everything in the world.

Beneath this tranquil sky, a sudden cry of a crane shattered the silence, like celestial music, awe-inspiring and breathtaking. Immediately afterward, a magnificent divine ship streaked across the horizon, moving with lightning speed, stirring up a gust of wind, and roaring through the clouds, leaving behind a series of dazzling trails.

As the white figure drew closer, everyone realized that it was actually a snow-white phoenix-shaped jade boat.

On the spacious palace, several figures sat steadily, none other than Xiao Yue and her entourage who were setting off.

Since the ancient ruins were located in the Beast Domain, Xiao Yue also wanted to learn about the internal affairs of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, since she still remembered Bei Ming Xiao Meng's matter.

This journey to the ancient ruins of Zhongzhou, which appeared in the Beast Domain, was destined to be anything but smooth sailing. After all, those ancient ruins were like a magnet, attracting countless powerful individuals. If anyone wanted to obtain the treasures they needed in this mysterious place, it would be like snatching food from a tiger's mouth, and the difficulty was unimaginable.

Therefore, Xiao Yue's trip this time included not only Little Fairy Doctor, Zi Yan, and the Heavenly Fire Venerable transferred from the Northwest Continent, but also Xiong Zhan. With such a lineup, coupled with Xiao Yue's current strength, she could roam freely even in the Central Continent.

"Sigh, what's so fun about ancient ruins? What's the point of going there..." Zi Yan's complaints were soft, but they couldn't hide her dissatisfaction.

She had just emerged from seclusion in the star field and, by a stroke of good fortune, broke through to the Dou Zun realm.

Seeing this, Xiao Yue smiled and shook her head, then took out a delicate little jade bottle from her bosom and gently tossed it to Zi Yan. Zi Yan took the jade bottle, glanced at it, and immediately beamed with joy. She poured the pills inside into her mouth like beans and began to chew them with smacking sounds.

A moment later, the little girl chuckled and said, "Fortunately, this ancient ruin is in the Demon Realm, and it's close to the Nine Netherworld Python Clan. I can also find out more about what's going on with Sister Xiaomeng."

Xiao Yue ignored the little girl and turned her gaze to Mu Qingluan, the current acting head of Xingyun Pavilion, who was sitting cross-legged.

As the eldest disciple of the Wind Venerable and possessing the bloodline of the Azure Phoenix, he is naturally the most suitable person to be the guide for this trip to the Demon Realm.

At this moment, the woman in green said softly, "Senior Xiao, the Demon Realm is the gathering place of magical beast families on the Dou Qi Continent, gathering almost ninety percent of the continent's races. The Nine Netherworld Python clan is also extremely xenophobic, so please be careful..."

At this point, Mu Qingluan paused deliberately, then hesitantly added, "Moreover, you've also offended the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, one of the two major overlords in the region..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue couldn't help but chuckle. She knew what Mu Qingluan was referring to. The incident of taking the little princess of the Demon Phoenix Clan as a mount had caused quite a stir in Zhongzhou. It was almost common knowledge, if not universally known.

However, during the six months she was trapped in the star field, the little phoenix was forcibly taken away by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. Otherwise, Xiao Yue wouldn't be sitting on the Phoenix Divine Ship of the Starfall Pavilion now.

However, Xiao Yue didn't care. Let the little phoenix run away; she could just catch it again later.

"Tch, what are the Heavenly Phoenix Clan? Xiao Yue, don't be afraid, I'm here! If they dare to come, I'll make sure they never leave!" At this moment, Zi Yan, who was happily chewing her food, suddenly interjected. She patted her chest, looking fearless.

The little girl has just entered the ranks of the eighth-level Dou Zun, and she's already getting a bit arrogant.

Mu Qingluan glanced at Zi Yan in astonishment. She had always been puzzled by Zi Yan's identity and background, but judging from the attitude of Venerable Feng and others towards her, this little girl's background should not be weak.

Even so, Mu Qingluan did not believe that Zi Yan had the ability to make the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan tremble with fear. After all, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, which could become one of the three major clans in the magical beast world, had a power and a number of strong people that were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Although the little girl has reached the Dou Zun level and is quite strong, she is still too young. The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is not so easy to deal with.

After all, offending the Heavenly Phoenix Clan in the Beast Domain is as troublesome as offending a power like the Pill Tower in the Central Continent. The subordinate relationships within the Beast Domain are extremely strong. A powerful clan can often have many subordinate clans. These subordinate clans are based on the main clan and are intertwined with each other in many ways, making it far more complex than the main sect and branch sects in the human world.

"My race is the Azure Phoenix Clan. Although it is not as famous as the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, it is still quite well-known in the Beast Domain."

"My clan has nearly ten affiliated clans under its command, and the combined strength of these clans is a force to be reckoned with," Mu Qingluan continued, a hint of pride in her voice.

Xiao Yue nodded knowingly upon hearing this. She had some understanding of these things and knew that the unique region here had created a unique style. Although similar subordinate relationships also existed in the human world, they were far less developed and intricate than this.

"The Nine Netherworld Python Clan has the most affiliated races in the Beast Domain," Mu Qingluan continued. "Their numbers are the largest among the three major clans. Of course, the consequence of increasing numbers is that the bloodline of the Nine Netherworld Pythons is becoming less and less pure..." "The Heavenly Phoenix Clan, on the other hand, has extremely strict control over bloodlines."

Mu Qingluan changed the subject and continued, "Even the bloodline of the dead Heavenly Demon Phoenix must not be easily lost, and the Ancient Void Dragon..."

When the most mysterious and unpredictable Primordial Void Dragon was mentioned, Mu Qingluan couldn't help but show a slight hesitation in her tone. She slowly said, "I have never heard of Primordial Void Dragons having any subordinate races."

The Heavenly Phoenix, the Ancient Dragon, the Nine Nether Python, and so on—these have been the undisputed supreme beings among all beasts since ancient times, standing at the pinnacle from ancient times to the present, unmatched by anyone.

Zi Yan gently opened her small mouth, put the last pill into her mouth, chewed it carefully, and then patted her slightly bulging belly with satisfaction. She said in a casual tone, "Although the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is strong, it is not necessarily as invincible as you say."

That's true. In the vast and boundless world of Warcraft, there are many low-key and ancient races that also possess bloodlines originating from ancient times. Although they are few in number, their strength should not be underestimated.

Even the Heavenly Phoenix Clan dared not easily provoke these races.

"Tch, in the end, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is nothing more than a descendant with a trace of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix bloodline. If the real ancient Heavenly Phoenix were still alive, perhaps they would have the right to be arrogant. Unfortunately, the real ancient Heavenly Phoenix has long since vanished from this world. The so-called Heavenly Demon Phoenixes now are just a bunch of scruffy birds. Besides, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan has many subordinates, but you are not qualified to know about them." Zi Yan said with a sneer.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingluan couldn't help but show a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. As a member of the Feather Clan, she hated hearing others use terms like "miscellaneous bird," just as the Dragon Clan hated hearing about reptiles.

"My Qingluan clan is a prominent clan in the Dou Qi Continent. If the Primordial Void Dragon truly has an affiliated clan, how could I not know such important news?" Although Mu Qingluan vaguely felt that what Zi Yan said was true, she was still unwilling to admit defeat easily and stubbornly retorted.

The little girl scoffed at this, glanced sideways at Mu Qingluan, a mischievous glint flashing in her bright, watery eyes. She raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, but remained silent.

Seeing Zi Yan's attitude, Mu Qingluan was even more annoyed and was about to lash out when she was stopped in time by Little Fairy Doctor.

Little Fairy Doctor shook her head helplessly and gave Zi Yan a reproachful look, but the latter ignored it, stretched, and then lay down on Xiao Yue's lap, falling asleep peacefully like a kitten.

Xiao Yue smiled gently at this. She knew why Mu Qingluan and Zi Yan disliked each other. Like the Demon Phoenix Clan, the Qingluan Clan had some blood of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix. They were naturally at odds with the Ancient Dragon of the Void. Even if Mu Qingluan did not know Zi Yan's true identity, she would feel a subtle dislike for the aura on her body.

The rest of the journey was unusually dull due to the subtle relationship between Mu Qingluan and Zi Yan.

This tedious journey did not last long. About four days later, a vast and boundless mountain range finally came into view.

That place is the Ten Thousand Mountains, a strange land dominated by magical beast families. Although its area is not as vast as the Central Plains, its unique landscape and strong magical beast aura are enough to make people feel shocked.

The overlapping mountains seem endless, stretching into the distance beyond human reach. On this ancient land, the passage of time has left behind countless treasures, waiting to be discovered by those destined to find them.

This ancient ruin appeared in the Bone Mountains of the Beast Domain, which is quite famous in the Beast Domain. The Bone Mountains got their name because there is a terrifying sea of ​​bones here.

The remains of countless magical beasts were abandoned here. As time passed, the strange beast power contained in these remains gradually dissipated. This energy was of little use to humans, but it was an excellent tonic for magical beasts. Therefore, this place became a treasure land where many magical beasts gathered.

The Bone Mountain Range is located in the southwest of the Beast Domain. In order to ensure that they could find the ancient ruins that had appeared in Zhongzhou as soon as possible, Xiao Yue and her group set off for the Bone Mountain Range without stopping after entering the Beast Domain.

At this time, the Beast Realm became unusually noisy and turbulent due to the emergence of the ancient ruins. Along the way, they encountered many powerful individuals with the same clear purpose—both magical beast masters who could transform into human form and Dou Zun powerhouses from various forces of the Central Continent who had come from outside the Beast Realm upon hearing the news. Clearly, the news of the emergence of the ancient ruins had spread far and wide.

Looking down at the mountains rushing past and the equally determined powerful figures, Xiao Yue couldn't help but frown slightly.

She was well aware of the immense allure of ancient ruins, but she was more concerned about how the Soul Palace would intervene.

More and more people were flying across the surrounding sky, and every now and then a figure would fly by like a whirlwind and then rush towards the distant, pale white mountain range.

"We're almost at the Bone Mountain Range. Our Starfall Pavilion has two elders at the eighth level of the Dou Zong realm here. How about we meet up with them first and then discuss the follow-up matters?"

Looking at the distant, snow-white mountain range, Mu Qingluan's expression became much more solemn. Even from such a great distance, she could still sense many exceptionally powerful auras.

"Ah."

Xiao Yue nodded slightly. The Bone Mountain Range is now a true melting pot of people and monsters, with all sorts of forces and powerful figures gathered here. If one were to rush in blindly without understanding the situation, one would likely become the target of everyone's attacks.

They came here under the banner of the Starfall Pavilion. Now, with the encouragement of Venerable Wind, the pavilion has become an important stronghold of the Soul Suppressing Court in the Central State. As one of the few organizations in the Central State, it is natural for them to play a role.

Seeing Xiao Yue nod, Mu Qingluan took out an ancient jade from her storage ring and then gently crushed it.

Shortly after the ancient jade was crushed, a figure swiftly flew from the distant mountains and approached Xiao Yue and the others. A moment later, the figure appeared on the giant crane and looked at Xiao Yue and her group with obvious relief.

The newcomer was an old man with one arm, dressed in a gray robe. On his chest was a badge of an elder of the Starfall Pavilion. However, the old man's face looked extremely pale, and his severed left arm was still dripping blood.

"Elder Hu, what's going on... Where is Elder Qi?"

Upon seeing the bloodied and mangled old man with the missing arm, Mu Qingluan was taken aback and immediately spoke sternly.
