Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 260 The war resumes
In the Star Realm, on top of a stone tower, Gu Yuan was sitting cross-legged in it. The vast power of his soul was rippling around him, filling the entire stone tower with a terrifying pressure. Under such pressure, except for a handful of people, the rest did not dare to approach within a hundred feet of the stone tower.

At the top of the stone tower, Gu Yuan's face was as gloomy as water, his eyes slightly closed, and the vast and boundless soul power merged into the void. In a mysterious way, he detected the direction of the soul world, and then transformed it into strands of soul power, entangling it completely. In this way, as long as there was a slight fluctuation in that space, he would be able to detect it.

"Buzz!"

Under Gu Yuan's continuous detection, the space in the void suddenly began to wriggle violently, and then turned into a figure standing with his hands behind his back.

When this figure appeared, Gu Yuan, who was far away on the stone tower, suddenly opened his eyes, snorted coldly, moved his body, and disappeared. When he appeared again, he was already in front of the figure.

"Emperor Soul!"

Looking at the man in front of him who was dressed in white and looked quite elegant, a cold light flashed across Gu Yuan's eyes.

"Of the four people back then, only two of us are still alive. The world is truly unpredictable." Emperor Hun Tian looked at Gu Yuan and said with a faint smile.

"The deaths of the other two people have a lot to do with you." Gu Yuan sneered.

Emperor Hun Tian did not comment. He looked at Gu Yuan and suddenly said, "If you can cooperate with me, I will definitely help you when I become a Dou Emperor in the future."

Gu Yuan was startled. He didn't expect that Emperor Hun Tian would actually say such words to win him over. But then he smiled and said, "Do you think it's possible?"

"What a pity! You are one of the few people I can look at squarely." As if he knew the answer, Emperor Hun Tian shook his head with some regret, looked up at the empty space, and suddenly murmured: "It is said that Dou Di masters are omnipotent, but why do those Dou Di masters disappear completely now?"

Gu Yuan frowned slightly but did not answer.

"Perhaps these answers will be answered when I advance to Dou Di." Emperor Hun Tian stared at the end of the void, with a strange light in his eyes. He then turned to look at Gu Yuan, smiled proudly, and said, "This world cannot restrain me!"

His words were wild and arrogant, yet they contained a tremendous momentum. Even Gu Yuan did not laugh at him because he understood that this opponent, who had been fighting with him openly and secretly for almost a thousand years, did possess such courage and potential.

"You want to hold me back, right?" Gu Yuan stared at Emperor Hun Tian and suddenly said. With his shrewdness, he naturally saw that the latter had no intention of taking action now. In this case, it was obvious that the other party had only one purpose, which was to hold him back.

Hearing this, Emperor Hun Tian smiled, calculated the time, and said with a smile: "I think the time should be about right."

"The Ancient Emperor's Cave is in the Black Horn Region, right?" Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes and asked again.

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Emperor Hun Tian's face suddenly froze slightly, and then disappeared, and he said softly: "You really know it."

He did not deliberately conceal it, because he understood that since Gu Yuan said such words, he must have known a lot about it, and it would be futile to deny it.

"It seems that God is not on your side." Gu Yuan said with a smile.

“We will soon know who will win.” Emperor Hun Tian spread his hands, then paused and said, “Is it because of Xiao Yan?”

What he said was naturally the ultimate reason why Gu Yuan knew the location of the ancient emperor's cave.

Gu Yuan smiled, neither admitting nor denying.

"What a disaster." Emperor Hun Tian couldn't help but shook his head, with an inexplicable feeling in his heart. Who could have thought that such a person would appear in the declining Xiao family? Even his Hun clan had been defeated by him time and time again. Now, even the ancient emperor's cave was explored by him first.

"It's all because of that bunch of idiots. They have been hiding some news." Emperor Hun Tian sighed. If Xiao Yan had not gradually stood out in Zhongzhou, he would probably still not know that the latter had escaped the Soul Clan's heavy pursuit. After he knew all these things, the young man back then had already grown up. Due to many plans, he had no intention of taking care of him. Who could have expected that this small mistake would create such a big trouble for them.

"If you underestimate him, you will suffer the consequences." Gu Yuan smiled, was silent for a moment, and said, "He may be better than Xiao Xuan."

"Oh?" Emperor Huntian raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly, "That's a very high evaluation, but since my Hun Clan can make the first Xiao Xuan fall, it's natural that we can also make the second one fall."

"Gu Yuan, let's meet in the Black Horn Region next!" The space around Emperor Hun Tian slowly twisted, and then his figure gradually disappeared.

Looking at the disappearing figure of Emperor Hun Tian, ​​Gu Yuan's eyes flashed with coldness, and he appeared directly in the meeting hall of the Star Realm. He looked at Lei Ying and others, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The coalition forces are heading to the Black Horn Region. This time, the Soul Clan must be stopped!"

Canaan College.

On a tree-lined avenue, many students were coming and going, and the youthful energy unique to young boys and girls filled the air in the woods. They were unaware of the upcoming battle, so they did not feel panicked. Their conversations were similar to the day when Xiao Yan appeared, and their tones were filled with admiration and fanaticism.

On a towering tree, Xiao Yan lay there leisurely, gazing at the azure sky. The grass roots he bit gradually gave off a bitter taste. It had been many years since he could lie in the academy and look at the sky so quietly.
“It’s been many years.”

Xiao Yan lowered his black eyes slightly and couldn't help but sigh. Thinking back now, the scene of practicing in Canaan Academy back then was still vivid in his mind. However, it was as if in the blink of an eye, he was no longer the young boy he was back then.

"It's been many years."

Suddenly, a soft voice came from his ear. Xiao Yan opened his eyes slightly and looked at the beautiful teacher beside him who had a pair of slender and sexy long legs. He smiled and said with a teasing expression unconsciously, "What beautiful legs."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but blush. She glared at Xiao Yan fiercely and said, "You're so old, but you're still so frivolous."

Xiao Yan had a smile on his face and folded his arms behind his head, but did not speak. He liked this kind of quiet atmosphere very much. Over the years, he had been oppressed by the Soul Palace and the Soul Clan to the point of being suffocated, because he understood that only by continuous and desperate practice could he escape the fate of being crushed into powder by that mountain. Moreover, when he turned into powder, his family and his clan would do the same.

The war was approaching, and Xiao Yan understood that this might be a decisive battle. However, because of this, his originally anxious heart was actually relaxed a lot. He had done everything he could, and he had also tried his best to make himself the strongest. Now, it was time to wait for the end.

Xiao Yu sat down gracefully beside Xiao Yan, and tilted her head to look at the face with slightly narrowed eyes. This face was more mature and resolute than before. Faintly, the original handsomeness had also evolved into another kind of charm.

This is a very attractive face.

Xiao Yu pursed her red lips slightly. During the years she taught at Canaan College, she had seen many so-called young talents, many of whom had launched crazy pursuits against her. However, they all ended up being defeated in the end, because every time she compared these people with the one in front of her, she would always shake her head.

After these years of experience, she also understood how outstanding and even brilliant the man in front of her was.

"It would be fine if there is no blood relationship." Sometimes, some strange thoughts would surge in Xiao Yu's mind, making her blush and constantly scolding herself for being shameless.

"Where is Sichun?" Xiao Yan opened his eyes at some point. He looked at the beautiful teacher beside him who was biting her red lips with her silver teeth, and said with a smile.

"Yes." This time, Xiao Yu blinked her eyes and smiled sweetly.

"Uh." Xiao Yan was stunned by this answer. Under normal circumstances, Xiao Yu should have punched or kicked him. He raised his eyes and looked into Xiao Yu's beautiful eyes. There seemed to be something flowing in them. He then coughed lightly and retracted his gaze.

Seeing Xiao Yan withdraw his gaze, Xiao Yu bit her red lips with silver teeth and exerted a little force, then the fluctuations gradually hid, staring at Xiao Yan, and whispered: "Thank you."

"Ok?"

Xiao Yan was stunned again, then smiled and said, "It's a bit confusing, isn't it?"

"These are the words my tribesmen asked me to bring to you when I went back to the Jia Ma Empire last time." Xiao Yu smiled. Xiao Yan was stunned, and the smile on his lips became much warmer.

"Now, the younger and even many older generations in the Xiao family treat you like a god. They can scold them if others do, but if they get involved with you, they will have to fight with red eyes. Once, a member of the family rushed to a sect alone for this." Xiao Yu laughed softly, his gentle tone as if he was talking about family matters, and it was exceptionally warm.

“Hehe, their god was once scolded as a waste.” Xiao Yan grinned.

"You're so narrow-minded. Those were things that happened when you were a child. How can you still remember them?" Xiao Yu rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan coquettishly and said.

Xiao Yan smiled and listened to Xiao Yu's soft whispers about the Xiao family's affairs. He looked at the blue sky. It seemed like he hadn't enjoyed this feeling for many years.

"Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei returned to the Jia Ma Empire a few years ago. It is said that they are now powerful people who can stand on their own."

"The tribe wanted to elect a tribe leader a few years ago, but after a lot of voting, your name was written on all the ballots, which made the elders laugh and cry."

"..."

Xiao Yu spoke softly to himself. After a long while, he paused slightly and looked at the man beside him who had his eyes closed and even his breathing became much slower. At this time, Xiao Yan was as quiet as a baby.

He fell asleep.

When seeing Xiao Yan's current condition clearly, even Xiao Yu couldn't help but be stunned. Then a look of pity flashed across her eyes. She carefully moved Xiao Yan's head with her jade hands and placed it on her soft legs. She looked down at that face, and the smile on the corner of her mouth seemed extremely gentle.

"The tribesmen all know that you have done a lot for them. You have been carrying all those heavy burdens alone."

"In order to protect the family, you have been working hard alone, between life and death. Haha, now many of the little guys in the family are practicing hard. They say that when they become stronger, they will be able to help you..."

"..."

From the towering trees, dense branches spread out, and the breeze blows, peaceful and gentle.

"call…"

Xiao Yan gently exhaled a breath of orchid fragrance, looked at the quiet face, and just as his jade hand was about to gently touch it, the eyes that had been closed suddenly opened.

The moment the black eyes opened, the original silence suddenly dissipated, and the sharp fluctuations in the black eyes that were enough to make one's soul tremble emerged again.

Staring blankly at the face that changed from quiet to fierce in an instant, Xiao Yuyu's hand fell without leaving a trace, and smiled sweetly, "Are you awake?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yan nodded slightly, then stood up, looked towards the distant sky, and said lightly: "They are coming..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu was shocked. Because of her relationship with Xiao Yan, she knew some secrets. Naturally, she also knew who the "they" Xiao Yan was talking about were.

"Too fast." Xiao Yu said with a frown.

“Notify the Great Elder to gather all the students together. Otherwise, they won’t be able to withstand the war once it starts.” Xiao Yan said in a deep voice.

"Ah."

Xiao Yu also nodded quickly, and moved her body, trying to retreat. Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, and said again: "Thank you, Sister Xiao Yu."

Hearing this address, Xiao Yu was stunned. This was the first time in history that Xiao Yan called her sister. The two had always been at odds with each other since they were young, and they would quarrel whenever they met.

"Haha, good little brother, I'm watching you show off your prowess." Xiao Yu smiled softly, then flew down. When she turned around, her eyes were a little dim. They... are siblings.

Xiao Yan stood on the top of the tree with his hands behind his back. He glanced at Xiao Yu's falling figure and sighed softly. He was not a fool. Some things he could see clearly, but some things might be difficult to have results.

He shook his head, shaking off the melancholy in his heart, and then looked solemnly at the end of the sky. There, he could feel the violent energy fluctuations. This kind of fluctuation was no longer unfamiliar to him.

"Whoa!"

While Xiao Yan was lost in thought, several figures appeared beside him. They were Xun'er and others.

"The Soul Clan is coming?" Xun'er asked, looking at the end of the sky.

Xiao Yan nodded and looked down at the academy below. At this moment, all the instructors in the academy were leading the students to gather at the square. A tense atmosphere enveloped the world.

"Be careful in this battle." Xiao Yan looked at Xun'er beside him and whispered.

"You too." Xun'er nodded slightly.

Xiao Yan smiled, and suddenly took a step forward. He stretched out his arm, and took Xun'er into his arms under her slightly red cheeks, and whispered: "If this matter can be resolved peacefully, we will hold a grand wedding."

"Ah."

The two girls nodded with shyness and joy in their eyes.

Holding the two women in his arms and being gentle with them, Xiao Yan swooped down from the giant tree and appeared in the square. With a wave of his hand, huge cracks appeared in the space, and the cracks led to the Heavenly Tomb.

"Great Elder, don't worry. I have already told the creatures in there not to harm the students." After opening the space channel, Xiao Yan looked at Su Qian and said.

"Thank you, little guy." Su Qian nodded slightly and bowed deeply to Xiao Yan. Then, not daring to be negligent, he rushed directly into the space channel. Behind him, densely packed students also poured in like a tide.

When the students entered the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Yan rose into the air again and looked into the distance. Suddenly, black clouds appeared in the sky and earth there, and then rushed over at a speed as fast as thunder. In the black clouds, a monstrous aura filled the sky and earth.

Looking at the earth-shaking momentum, Xiao Yan also let out a long breath and clenched his fists.

"The coalition forces have also arrived."

After exhaling a long breath, Xiao Yan's gaze suddenly turned to the northern sky. There, the space was also wriggling violently. Overwhelming figures emerged, cutting through the sky, bringing with them a sound of breaking wind that resounded through the heavens and the earth, and rushed towards Canaan Academy!

Looking at the scene that filled the sky and earth on both sides, Xiao Yan's heart suddenly surged with heroic spirit. He looked up to the sky and let out a long roar. The roar was like thunder, rumbling across the sky and could be clearly heard within a radius of a hundred miles.

"Soul Clan, if you want to fight, I will fight with you to your heart's content today!"
