People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

The holy city of Gama was still bathed in the peaceful light of dawn, the bustling city life as usual, and the constant flow of traffic and people was full of vitality.

However, at that very moment, visible spatial ripples suddenly appeared above the pure blue sky. The ripples were initially weak, but in an instant they spread like a tide. The flowing silver light and shadows refracted in all directions, shattering the light of the entire sky and creating an eerie sense of oppression amidst the interplay of light and shadow.

"what is that?!"

Pedestrians on the street stopped and stared in astonishment at the sky, their fingers clenching unconsciously, their faces filled with bewilderment and horror.

The once bustling streets and alleys fell silent almost instantly, while the spatial fluctuations in the sky grew stronger, as if some enormous creature was about to tear through the void and arrive.

On the upper floor, Hai Bodong and Jia Xingtian, who were chatting idly, suddenly changed their expressions!

The air around the Ice Emperor instantly condensed into fine ice shards. A hint of solemnity flashed in his cold eyes. He suddenly stood up, his robes fluttering without wind. Jia Xingtian also suppressed all his smiles, his resolute face as hard as iron. Two sharp, eagle-like eyes shot towards the chaotic void in the sky.

“Such strong spatial fluctuations…” Hai Bodong’s voice was deep, and light blue battle qi had quietly gathered at his fingertips. “Such a feat is beyond the reach of a Dou Zong, and is at least at the level of a Dou Zun.”

Before he finished speaking, several dazzling beams of fighting spirit shot out from all parts of the Holy City. In the direction of the Alchemist Guild, a bronze medicine cauldron about ten feet tall floated in mid-air. Guild Master Fama, dressed in a white robe embroidered with medicinal patterns, stroked his long beard and approached with a solemn expression.

Following closely behind were the patriarchs and top experts of several major families. The crowd quickly gathered around Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong, their eyes all fixed on the sky.

"Elder Jia, Elder Hai, what kind of strange phenomenon is this?" Fama's voice trembled slightly, and the patterns on the bronze cauldron glowed faintly, indicating that they were on high alert.
"Such spatial fluctuations could probably only be triggered by a legendary Dou Zun powerhouse!"

"Hmph, so what if you're a Dou Zun?" Jia Xingtian said in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping over the people around him. His tone was steady yet carried an undeniable authority.
"Everyone, don't panic. Let's observe the situation first. If they are friends, then there's no need for further words; if they are enemies, our Gama Empire is not one to be easily manipulated. If we join forces, we may well have the strength to fight!"

As he spoke, his gaze inadvertently drifted toward the east side of the Holy City, where Xiao Zhan, the patriarch of the Xiao family, was leading several Xiao family retainers with imposing auras, transforming into several black shadows and rushing toward them.

A sense of relief flashed in Jia Xingtian's eyes. He thought to himself that with Xiao Zhan here, and with Xiao Ling and Xiao Yan, two geniuses who had shaken the Central Plains, as his backing, even if the visitors were not friendly, they might not dare to act recklessly in Jia Ma Holy City for the sake of the Xiao family. The safety of the Holy City should be assured.

Hai Bodong had clearly considered this as well, and the icy expression on his face softened slightly, though his gaze remained fixed on the sky as he spoke in a deep voice.

"No matter who they are, such a sudden tear through space to descend is no ordinary event. Everyone, do not let your guard down!"

Before the crowd could finish speaking, the strange activity in the sky suddenly escalated!
The previously chaotic flow of light and shadow suddenly stopped. Then, the entire void seemed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand. The violent spatial fluctuations exploded like thunder. The fluctuations were far more violent than before, yet strangely they were solidified and did not dissipate, all locked on the sky, forming a suffocating sense of oppression.

The next moment, "click—"

A sharp crack tore through the sky, and a huge crack nearly a hundred feet wide suddenly appeared in the azure sky!

At the edge of the rift, silvery-white spatial power surged like a tide, its sharp aura almost cutting through the air, yet it was always bound within the rift by some invisible force, without leaking out in the slightest. However, the deep darkness surging from the depths of the rift and the faint whistling of spatial turbulence were enough to make the Dou Zong powerhouses present feel a tightness in their hearts. Such terrifying spatial control was beyond their comprehension!

Hai Bodong, Jia Xingtian, and the others held their breath, their eyes fixed on the expanding spatial rift that eventually solidified into a giant door-like structure, their fighting spirit already at its peak.

The people on the street below were so frightened that they fell silent, retreating and looking up at the scene that seemed to be the collapse of the sky and the splitting of the earth, their faces filled with awe and fear.

Just then, a dazzling silver streak of light slowly emerged from the deep darkness of the spatial rift; it was a giant, entirely silver-white spaceship.

The ship is tens of meters long, and its streamlined outline outlines a magnificent momentum. The whole body is carved with intricate and mysterious spatial patterns, and the patterns flow with a lustrous luster, as if stars are floating in them.

A lifelike phoenix statue stands at the bow of the ship, its wings outstretched as if it is about to take flight at any moment.

As the spaceship slowly emerged from the spatial rift, its complete form was fully revealed to everyone. The entire spaceship seemed to be forged from stars, magnificent yet majestic. Every detail exuded indescribable craftsmanship and profound heritage. In particular, the faint spatial fluctuations surrounding the ship's hull further proved that it was no ordinary object.

The crowd below was abuzz with discussion, exclamations of amazement rising and falling. Gazing at the silver spaceship hovering in the sky, their eyes were filled with shock and curiosity. Who exactly was this mysterious powerhouse who could descend in such a magnificent and powerful vehicle? And what was his purpose in visiting the Holy City of Gama?
"Judging from its appearance, it must be the legendary spaceship from Zhongzhou." Hai Bodong stared at the silver behemoth hovering in the sky, taking in the mysterious patterns flowing along its hull and its imposing aura. His gaze grew increasingly solemn as he spoke in a deep voice.
"It is said that the Central Plains is a vast territory, spanning tens of thousands of miles and several continents. A normal journey would take several years, so space wormholes and spaceships have become the core means of long-distance travel. Those who can arrive in such vehicles must come from the Central Plains!"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the star crystals and intricate runes embedded in the spaceship, a hint of barely perceptible amazement in his voice.

"A spaceship of this caliber is of an extremely high grade. Even in Zhongzhou, it is not something that an ordinary force could possess. Its owner must be someone of extraordinary origin. But what is their purpose in crossing thousands of miles to come here?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian frowned, then nodded in deep agreement.
“Old Hai is absolutely right. The Central Plains is full of powerful figures with deeply entrenched influence. Anyone who can do something like this must be either a core member of a top sect or a powerful figure with considerable authority. It is truly baffling that such a person would suddenly appear in our Jia Ma Empire.”

The conversation between the two reached the ears of the various clan leaders nearby, and their expressions changed simultaneously, with gasps of shock rising one after another.

Zhongzhou! It was a sacred land they had only heard of in rumors, a stage that countless cultivators dreamed of, and a place of opportunity where powerful figures gathered and whose foundations were unfathomable.

The owner of this spaceship was actually a big shot from that legendary land. Judging from the scale of the entourage, he was probably a person of high status in Zhongzhou. People of this level were not even qualified to look up to him, let alone make contact with him.

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Zhan in the center of the crowd.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan was dressed in a dark brocade robe and surrounded by several Xiao family guests with a composed aura. Although he did not deliberately show his power, he had his own composure and dignity.

The gazes of the clan leaders were filled with undisguised envy, and even a hint of awe.

Who doesn't know that the Xiao family is now an extraordinary force in the Holy City of Jiama?

Although the Gama royal family is still the nominal ruler, they always treat the Xiao family with a degree of politeness and apprehension.

The root of all this lies in the two prodigies raised by Xiao Zhan, Xiao Ling and Xiao Yan. Rumors suggest that the two are doing quite well in Zhongzhou and have already established themselves firmly.

With two such influential younger generations backing them up, the Xiao family naturally rose in status and became an entity that no one in the Jia Ma Empire dared to provoke.

The clan leaders secretly sighed, thinking that if their own clan could produce such a prodigy, even just one, their clan could soar to the top and stand among the top powers in the Jia Ma Empire. Why would they need to be so careful in their dealings with others now? Such good fortune was truly the envy of everyone!
Xiao Zhan, who was being watched by everyone without anyone noticing, forgot about the gazes around him and stared intently at the silver spaceship floating in the sky.

His cultivation level was only at the initial stage of Dou Huang, and his soul perception was insignificant among the top experts. With his naked eye, he could only vaguely see a few blurry and small figures on the deck of the spaceship.

But for some reason, the moment his gaze fell upon the spaceship, his heart trembled violently, and an inexplicable tremor spread through his veins. It was a pull from his very bones, a feeling that needed no words.

"This feeling... can't be wrong!"

Xiao Zhan muttered to himself, his voice soft but clearly reaching the ears of the Xiao family's guests beside him.

His eyes suddenly blazed with an uncontrollable light, his previously steady breathing became rapid, and his face was filled with unbelievable excitement and ecstasy.

"It's Yan'er! Yan'er is back!"

"Master Patriarch?"

The guest elder of the Xiao family beside him was taken aback at first, then his eyes flashed with intense curiosity and shock, and he quickly asked,

"You mean, the person on that spaceship is Young Master Xiao Yan?"

"Yes!" Xiao Zhan nodded emphatically, his tone extremely certain, and a barely perceptible moisture even welled up in the corner of his eye. "My intuition is never wrong! Not only Yan'er, but it seems his cousin has also returned this time!"

Having not seen them for several years, my two younger relatives have gone to Zhongzhou. Although I can often learn about their achievements from scattered messages, as an elder, I am still very worried about them.

Now, sensing that familiar bond of blood, Xiao Zhan could no longer contain his joy. As he spoke, a pair of solid battle qi wings suddenly unfolded behind him. With the flow of cyan-gold battle qi, his figure transformed into a streak of light and sped towards the spaceship.

Upon seeing this, several of the Xiao family's retainers quickly reacted, circulating their battle qi and spreading their wings to follow closely behind. One after another, their figures streaked across the sky, flying towards the silver behemoth.

Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong, Jia Xingtian, and the various clan leaders in the distance were all shocked, exchanging bewildered glances.

"Xiao Yan? Xiao Ling? They...they're back?" Jia Xingtian exclaimed, his heart filled with shock.

He never expected that the important figure from Zhongzhou who had come to the Holy City of Jiama would be one of the two prodigies from the Xiao family!

A knowing glint flashed in Hai Bodong's eyes, followed by a complex smile playing on his lips.

"No wonder this spaceship is so impressive; it turns out those two have returned. Such a grand display is indeed befitting their current status in Zhongzhou."

After all, unlike others who knew very little about the situation in Zhongzhou, Hai Bodong already knew very well that Xiao Ling held a very important position in Zhongzhou through the letters that Ya Fei frequently sent back.

"Quickly, keep up! Since the two prodigies of the Xiao family have returned to the Jia Ma Empire, we should give them a proper welcome."

After realizing what was happening, Jia Xingtian immediately said in a deep voice and took the lead in spreading his battle qi wings to chase after them.

Hai Bodong, Fama, and the various clan leaders dared not delay for even a moment, and they all activated their internal fighting spirit, unfolding various colored fighting spirit wings to follow closely behind.

Streaks of light streaked across the sky, interwoven with shades of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, converging rapidly towards the silver spaceship like a sky full of stars.

They naturally didn't want to miss such an opportunity to get close to the top talents of Zhongzhou. If they could become familiar with Xiao Ling and Xiao Yan and get closer to the Xiao family, their family's status in the Jia Ma Empire would probably rise to a higher level in the future.

Many clan leaders secretly regretted that they had forgotten to bring along the most beautiful young women in their clans when they rushed over.

If their own juniors were fortunate enough to be favored by these two prodigies, even just by a word of praise, the entire family could ride this wave of opportunity to soar to new heights and join the ranks of the top powers in the Jia Ma Empire.

On the deck of the spaceship, having now arrived at their destination, everyone had already gathered there.

Xiao Ling and Xiao Yan stood side by side in front of the railing at the bow of the ship, their clothes fluttering in the wind high above, with the magnificent panorama of the Holy City of Jia Ma below in full view.

Xiao Yan's gaze swept over Xiao Zhan and his group flying towards them across the sky, then he turned his head to look at Xiao Ling beside him, his lips twitching slightly involuntarily.

"Cousin, didn't you make too much noise? Just now, that spatial rift tore through the sky. Judging from the expressions of Elder Jia and Elder Hai, they were probably quite frightened."

"It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering the consequences. Don't blame me for this." Xiao Ling's fingertips casually traced the railing, his tone flat yet carrying a hint of self-righteousness.

"A spatial passage was opened directly from the Starfall Pavilion to the Holy City of Gama, spanning such a long distance. I was able to accurately remember the spatial coordinates here and not send the spaceship outside the Gama Empire, which is already considered very good control. You still expect me to control the fluctuations silently?"

He turned and glanced at Xiao Yan, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
"Once you break through to the Dou Sheng realm and master the essence of the spatial laws, try opening such a long-distance passage yourself. Then you'll understand the difficulty. Even if you were to do it then, you might not be able to do it as well as I did." (End of Chapter)
