Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 697 Xiao Yan: Thankfully, the Ancestor has passed away.
Two days later.

As the morning light poured down from the sky, the once tranquil city of Saint Dan finally became vibrant again.

Today is the day when the top ten finishers of the Pill Gathering enter the Star Domain and subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

As one of the top ten on the list of extraordinary flames, the Three Thousand Blazing Flames has garnered almost as much attention as the Medicine Elder, who has risen to the ninth rank. Countless people are eagerly anticipating the discovery of someone among the top ten who might be able to subdue this extraordinary treasure of heaven and earth.

As expected, the two people everyone favored were Hun Ruoruo and Xiao Yan.

Having experienced the battle of fire at the Pill Gathering, everyone knows that the strange fires possessed by Xiao Yan and Hun Ruoruo can not only merge with each other, but their power is even stronger than the 'Nine Nether Wind Flame' ranked tenth.

Although the ranking of the Three Thousand Burning Flames is not much different from that of the Nine Nether Wind Flames, the Star Domain obviously does not allow the existence of fusion of different flames, so the two of them naturally could not summon that forbidden flame again.

In this way, it would be extremely difficult for Hai Xin Yan or Xiao Yan's Black Gold Flame to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

Outside the tower, the streets and alleys were bustling with noise and a dense crowd of people.

Xiao Yan stood there all alone, looking bewildered.

Far to his side, the girl in the black dress and the girl in the green dress stood on opposite sides, one with a relaxed expression and the other with a stern face, neither of them glancing at Xiao Yan.

"Ugh"

Xiao Yan looked around, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

Now that Xiao Yan has joined the ranks of the strongest in Zhongzhou, his understanding of the eight clans has become increasingly profound.

But the more he learned, the more troubled he became.

Not to mention the Xiao clan, which has been removed from the Eight Clans, even the Gu clan, to which Xun'er belongs, has always been at odds with the Soul Clan.

No wonder Ruoruo was unwilling to reveal her identity to Xun'er, no wonder these two girls always seemed to be at odds; it turns out their feud dates back to their ancestors!
No, that's not right. To them they are their fathers, but to Xiao Yan himself they are his ancestors. There is even a generation gap between him and them.

"Fortunately, our ancestor has already passed away."

Xiao Yan clasped his hands together and, against his conscience, uttered a sigh.

He truly dared not imagine what kind of wonderful expression his ancestors would have if they knew from beyond the grave that he had a girlfriend who was countless generations older than him, a young lady from the Soul Clan, and had also recognized a young lady from the Ancient Clan, who was countless generations older than him, as his cousin.
Above the sky, the sun gradually climbed to its peak, and three figures exuding powerful auras finally appeared from the top of the tower, hovering high in the air.

"Entering the Starfield, prepare!"

Xuan Kongzi had a kind expression on his face, and his gentle voice resonated throughout the heavens and earth.

At this moment, he was radiant, his back was straight, and he had completely lost his former gloom, clearly enjoying the spring breeze of success.

Thanks to Elder Yao, the Pill Tower has not only become famous overnight, but its previously precarious position has also reached a terrifying peak, and it has even been compared with the reclusive medicine clan.

Such a contrast is truly exhilarating.

"Whizzing--"

Before the words were even finished, several figures emerged from the crowd and stood side by side on the brand-new Xuanmu Spirit Platform.

Since the pill embryo refined by Hun Ruoruo is of the eighth grade, it is among the top ten, and naturally she has a place there, echoing Xiao Yan from the beginning and the end.

As the sponsor of the Dan Tower, Xun'er naturally stepped forward to present the medals for entering the Starfield to everyone as a witness.

When facing others, Xun'er seemed to have a cold and aloof demeanor that kept people at arm's length. Even though this was not intentional on her part, it still made everyone feel uneasy and dared not have any disloyal thoughts.

Even if a woman is beautiful, you still need the ability to pursue her.

Someone like Xun'er, who possesses the dual identities of a collaborator of the Pill Tower and the president of the Ancient Society, might not even catch the eye of the other party, even if she were an eighth-grade alchemist.
"Thanks, Nizi."

"Thank you so much, President!"

And so, amidst the awe and amazement of the crowd, Xun'er presented awards all the way to the end of the line.

"Thank you very much, Xun'er."

Taking the medal from Xun'er, Hun Ruoruo smiled and reached out to shake hands with her.

"."

Xun'er's forehead veins bulged.

She took a deep breath, gripped that soft, boneless hand tightly, and smiled as she transmitted her voice, "Hun Ruoruo, no matter what schemes your Soul Palace has, with my Gu Hui here, I advise you to put away those petty thoughts!"

"conspiracy?"

Hun Ruoruo looked innocent and spread out her small, jade-like hands: "Sister Xun'er, you've misunderstood me. The Three Thousand Burning Flames are something my husband needs, so how could I possibly take them from him?"

"Hmph, don't try to win with your words here!"

Xun'er's eyes were filled with resentment, but she refused to believe a single word: "Don't think I don't know. Forget it, there's no point in saying more. You'd better watch yourself!"

As if realizing something, Xun'er let out a long breath, her expression gradually returning to calm, and she stopped playing around.

"Don't forget about what happened at the Heavenly Tomb," Xun'er said in a low voice.

Xun'er's voice echoed softly in Hun Ruoruo's heart, causing the girl to raise her eyebrows almost imperceptibly and her gaze to narrow slightly.

She nodded calmly, her expression unchanged: "Understood."

Seeing this, Xun'er said no more, simply finished awarding the medals, and then retreated to the edge of the venue.

After the simple ceremony was completed, Xuan Kongzi and the other two exchanged glances, then formed hand seals and channeled their soul power into the void.

"Om-"

As the strange sounds of heaven and earth resounded, the previously empty rift suddenly began to fluctuate violently like boiling water, and a pale silver spatial gate abruptly opened, as if to absorb all the air into it.

"The Grand Elder will accompany you into the star field on this trip, and he will explain the rules to you in detail."

Xuan Kongzi glanced at the silver spatial gate, his eyes suddenly turning sharp: "Now, enter!"

As the gate opened, everyone's medals lit up with dazzling starlight, then transformed into beams of light that enveloped their bodies and rapidly fled into the star field.

In just a few breaths, everyone disappeared from the gaze of countless eyes.

As the gate gradually closed, the sharp look on Xuan Kongzi's face softened slightly. He finally clasped his hands in a fist salute towards Xun'er and said in a low voice, "Today, I will rely on the guild leader's strong support."

Xun'er withdrew her gaze and nodded gently: "Elder Xuan, rest assured. The Pill Tower is in dire need of manpower right now, and our Ancient Society naturally cannot stand idly by. If the Soul Palace attacks, our two elders will stop them."

"Hehe, in that case, I would like to thank you in advance for your help to the Pill Tower," Xuan Kongzi said with a cupped hand and a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xun'er frowned slightly and said calmly, "How my Guhui acts has nothing to do with the clan. Please do not confuse the two."

"Yes Yes"

Xuan Kongzi hurriedly agreed, but a helpless, bitter smile flashed across his face.

He knew that the battle for the ancient souls might unfold in full force after this alchemy gathering.
