Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 790 Gathering of the Ancient Clan! (Fourth update, 10,000-word burst chapter complete, please read to your heart's content!)

Ancient tribe.

As the most prominent of the eight clans, its location is equally prestigious, situated in the eastern region of the Central Plains.

Because he often hosts banquets for members of the eight tribes and friends from outside the region, he has long been known as the "host of the eight tribes".

The Beast Domain is quite far from the Eastern Region of Central State. Even with the help of the Soul Imprint of Soul Extinction, it would still take Xiao Yan and Mo Yu several days to reach the Eastern Region.

However, Mo Yu didn't seem to be in a hurry in this situation. Instead, he confidently declared, "As long as Young Master is here, we will definitely be able to arrive one second before the finale." This made Xiao Yan both amused and exasperated.

Of course, jokes aside, if you calculate the time, there is less than half a month left before the ancient clan's so-called coming-of-age ceremony and the opening of the Heavenly Tomb.

If we arrive late, not only will we be unable to reclaim Ruoruo and the Xiao clan's quota according to our father-in-law's orders, but we will also become a laughing stock among the eight clans. Naturally, we cannot tolerate the slightest negligence.

"Buzz!"

The Eastern Regions, above the sky.

A pale silver, swirling vortex suddenly opened up from the sky, stirring up rolling waves of air along its path, slowly spreading out along with the ravines of space.

"Master, we are here."

From within the vortex, a man in a magnificent robe stepped out and then bowed respectfully to the direction behind him.

As his voice rang out, the vortex gate behind him suddenly twisted and contracted, then spat out the young man's figure.

The two people in front of them were none other than Xiao Yan and Mo Yu.

However, compared to their unkempt appearance a few days ago, the two of them were now dressed extremely formally.

The usually cold and dark Mo Yu had somehow acquired a magnificent robe, and with his air of someone who had long held a high position, anyone else would probably not recognize him as the Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Palace, but rather as the protector of a young master of a powerful sect.

Xiao Yan went even further, not only tailoring a Xiao clan robe based on the information about the Xiao clan preserved by the Soul Clan, but also wearing the alchemist's robe of the Pill Gathering champion on the outside, as if afraid that others would not be able to tell his identity.

"As expected, I hit the mark."

Looking at the endless stream of people around him, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh, somewhat questioning the meaning of life.

Am I destined to always arrive at the crucial moment, just like Ruoruo said?

"Hehe, young master, please don't sigh. This old servant has already said that we will definitely arrive on time."

Mo Yu chuckled, having somehow managed to conceal his signature laugh.

"Wait, so you can stop laughing like that?" Xiao Yan was greatly surprised.

"Young Master, what makes you say that?" Mo Yu looked at him with a puzzled expression. "If it weren't to reveal the identity of the Soul Palace, who would use such a strange and unpleasant laugh?"

Xiao Yan: "."

So you guys did this on purpose all along?
Unbeknownst to him, Xiao Yan discovered that he seemed to have learned some incredible secret of the Soul Palace.

He didn't ask any further questions, and casually looked around, taking in the passing crowds with his current late-stage Spirit Realm soul power.

"Those disciples and successors of the major sects don't seem to be dressed particularly formally either."

Xiao Yan tugged at the long robe of the Xiao clan beneath him and said with a wry smile, "Aren't we being a bit too conspicuous wearing these?"

"Young Master, you're mistaken about that."

Seeing Xiao Yan trying to change his robes, Mo Yu became anxious and glared at him, "Don't forget, your operation this time isn't just about reclaiming the Xiao Clan's quota, but also about Miss!"

"Ruo Ruo?" Xiao Yan was taken aback.

"Indeed!" Seeing the other party waver, Mo Yu quickly pressed on: "This old servant knows that you have always preferred to keep a low profile, but when it comes to marriage, it cannot tolerate being low-key!"

"Tell me, when the disciples of those powerful forces in the Central Plains propose marriage, which one doesn't make a grand spectacle and announce it to the world? Compared to them, these guys from the Eight Clans are only more concerned with saving face."

Mo Yu leaned closer and whispered, "You may not care about appearances, and the young lady may not care either, but when it comes to a woman's heart, things are unpredictable."

"What do you mean?" "No woman wants to see her man always battered and bruised. If she does, it proves she doesn't care about him."

Looking at Xiao Yan's stunned young face, a glint of light flashed in Mo Yu's old eyes, and he chuckled hoarsely, "I wonder, in your heart, Your Highness, which category does Miss belong to?"

"you"

Xiao Yan was momentarily lost in thought.

He opened his mouth, about to say something, but saw that Mo Yu had already returned to normal and was slowly walking into the city.

"Hehehe, if we don't hurry, even if you arrive just in time, we'll probably be stuck outside the door!"

"This old scoundrel, he's rarely serious, and he's already showing his true colors so quickly!" Xiao Yan's lips twitched.

Hearing Mo Yu's laughter, Xiao Yan's expression changed, but he ultimately put on the magnificent robe and quickly followed.
After traversing the vast outer city, Xiao Yan and his companion quickly entered the core of the Eastern Region.

And this colossal building, standing majestically in the heart of the entire Eastern Region, naturally has an extremely resounding and imposing name—

Ancient Holy City!
In the Eastern Region, this city's reputation is even greater than that of Saint Dan City in Dan Tower.

Because this is the entrance to the ancient world!

However, compared to the relaxed atmosphere of Saint Dan City, the rules of the Ancient Holy City are much stricter.

To enter, even a peak Dou Zun level expert would not be able to set foot inside without an invitation.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Ancient Holy City, Xiao Yan and his companion immediately attracted the attention of countless onlookers.

"What a young man! At such a young age, he already possesses a cultivation level above the Dou Zong realm. Whose prodigy is this?"

"Are you stupid? Didn't you see the alchemist's robes he's wearing? That's the robe of an eighth-grade alchemist! At his age, with such alchemy skills, who else could it be but Xiao Yan, the champion of the Pill Competition?"

"Hiss—I didn't expect that even the champion of the Pill Gathering would accept the invitation from the ancient clan to attend the banquet. Such a grand occasion truly befits the ancient clan, which is revered by all eight clans."

"Unfortunately, in front of such a behemoth as the ancient clans, even the champion of the Pill Gathering is at best just a supporting role."

Upon learning the identities of Xiao Yan and his companion, the crowd's faces immediately showed more respect, and even more admiration.

The eight ancient clans have been an unshakeable and supreme existence since ancient times.

Let alone the champion of the Dan Tournament, even if it were the Dan Tower, it would ultimately be nothing more than a supporting role to the main character.

"stop."

Hearing the commotion from the crowd, the ancient clan leader, who was originally positioned in front of the city gate, frowned and stepped forward to block Xiao Yan and his companion.

"So you are Xiao Yan, the champion of the Pill Gathering?" The commander looked extremely young and had clearly recognized Xiao Yan's background.

However, even so, he still only referred to himself as the 'Dan Club Champion', clearly harboring other intentions.

Xiao Yan seemed not to have noticed the hidden meaning in the other party's words and nodded: "Exactly."

"very good."

The commander smiled and nodded, then slowly said, "My name is Yang Hao, and I rank third among the seven commanders of the Black Annihilation Army. Do you know why I have come here?"

Upon hearing the words "Black Annihilation Army," Xiao Yan's expression darkened slightly, as if he were recalling the scene from his time at Canaan Academy.

The Lingquan who had made things difficult for Xun'er in the past, and was eventually killed by Ruoruo, was actually from the same source as Yang Hao!

"Hehe, it seems you already know my purpose."

Yang Hao smiled slightly, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yan, and said softly, word by word, "Knowing that you had harmed my clan leader, you still dared to come to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony. I must say, you are indeed incredibly audacious."

"Black Annihilation Army, surround him!!"

Upon hearing this, hundreds of Black Annihilation Army soldiers surged forward, completely surrounding Xiao Yan and his companion to the astonished gazes of the crowd!
