People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 267 Blatantly
The calm voice echoed through the canyon, but there was no response for a long time.

"Ungrateful..."

Chen Xiao chuckled, and the Bone Spirit Cold Flame appeared in his palm.

It was at this moment that the figure that had been hiding in the shadows finally succumbed to the pressure. A surge of black mist enveloped the figure, and it fled towards the distant horizon.

Chen Xiao watched quietly, without following up.

As early as when the Cangming Sect members arrived, he had already sealed off this area to guard against the Soul Palace experts hiding in the shadows.

Afterwards, the domain expanded, and the area it covered was all within Chen Xiao's control. When the two eight-star Dou Zun elders of the Cangming Sect perished, he keenly sensed the abnormality.

"Soul Palace, your reach has gone too far!"

A clear, cold voice rang out from the distant horizon, and golden flames blazed, dyeing half the sky gold.

The fleeing black mist suddenly stopped, and under the threat of the golden flames filling the sky, it gradually retreated back to the sky above the vast Jinjiang River.

With the clanging of chains, the black mist surged, revealing human figures within.

Covered in a black robe, he was strange and unpredictable. Such an image was difficult for anyone other than a powerful member of the Soul Palace to imitate and capture its essence.

"Gu Xun'er!"

Holding chains, the Eight Heavenly Venerables watched Xun'er emerge from the raging fire with wary expressions.

As a high-ranking member of the Soul Palace, especially given the recent unusual activities of various ancient races, it's not surprising that he could recognize Xun'er's identity.

It was because he recognized Xun'er that the Eighth Heavenly Venerable felt even heavier.

Although Xun'er's strength doesn't seem as amazing as Chen Xiao's, and she looks like she's just entered the Dou Zun realm, the Eight Heavenly Venerables know very well that the threat Xun'er can pose is no less than that of Chen Xiao!

Unable to escape, unable to fight back, with no way to advance or retreat...

Seeing the two people who had driven him to the brink of despair, the Eight Heavenly Venerables looked utterly helpless.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and he turned his attention to Chen Xiao.

"Palace Master Zixiao, have you thought this through? Do you really want to fight to the death with my Soul Palace?"

Chen Xiao remained silent. He was actually quite satisfied that he had quietly developed until today before officially facing off against the Soul Palace.

"Hehehe, do you think the ancient clans are all good people? If the ancient clans and the other clans hadn't broken the rules first, why would my Soul Palace have taken such a risk to cause trouble in their territory?"

Sensing Chen Xiao's attitude, the Eight Heavenly Venerables couldn't help but let out a strange laugh.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao's pupils contracted slightly.

"It seems you know quite a few secrets."

"I, the Celestial Venerable, know more than you can imagine, but unfortunately, you will never have the chance to know!"

With a furious roar, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable's body suddenly began to swell, a sign that he was about to self-destruct!

He was quite self-aware. Seeing that Chen Xiao could easily kill even a peak Dou Zun, he knew he was no match for him and fled without hesitation as soon as he appeared.

It wasn't until Xun'er appeared that the Eight Heavenly Venerables finally gave up completely.

The only way to avoid falling into their hands is to self-destruct!

"Brother Chen Xiao, be careful!"

The Eighth Heavenly Venerable's decisiveness startled Xun'er, who quickly spoke up to remind him.

"It's alright," Chen Xiao replied.

Immediately, onlookers in the distance saw a glimmer of starlight shoot out from between Chen Xiao's eyebrows, and with a speed that was difficult to detect even with soul perception, it shot into the body of the Eighth Heavenly Venerable.

In that instant, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable's violently expanding body suddenly stiffened, and the self-destruction that even he himself could not control was strangely suppressed.

"What kind of secret technique is this...?"

"Come back with me, and I'll tell you everything slowly."

The Eight Heavenly Venerables had just begun their murmurs when a voice rang in their ears.

The next moment, the Eight Heavenly Venerables felt a terrifying flame invade their bodies, and the extreme heat spread outwards, bringing boundless pain.

"Ahhh...no..." The strange flames engulfed his body, and his hysterical screams echoed throughout the land, sending chills down the spines of countless people.

The wailing lasted only a little over a minute before the Eighth Heavenly Venerable's body was burned to nothingness, leaving only an extremely transparent soul. It glanced at Chen Xiao with a look of panic before fleeing haphazardly without looking back.

Chen Xiao unleashed his soul perception, transforming it into an invisible hand that grabbed him, took out a jade bottle, and stuffed it inside.

"Brother Chen Xiao." Xun'er rushed over and was relieved to see that Chen Xiao was safe and sound.

"Xun'er, these Eight Heavenly Venerables should know some secrets. I'll take them back and prepare them."

Xun'er nodded gently, without objection.

She cut off the Soul Palace's reach into the Eastern Region. With that, her mission would be accomplished.

As for how to deal with the Eight Heavenly Venerables, that's not important.

Seeing that the two had handled the situation properly, the Valley Master of Huangfeng Valley approached and clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you for your help, Miss and Senior. Otherwise, Huangfeng Valley would have been swallowed up by the Cangming Sect. Wu Xiao, that scoundrel, was ambitious before, but after his father passed away, he had difficulty controlling the Cangming Sect and winning over the people. However, he has managed to unite the sect members during this period. I was puzzled at first, but I never expected that the Soul Hall was behind it all."

Chen Xiao waved his hand slightly, without responding further.

Xun'er stepped forward and nodded, saying, "Valley Master Yi, I will report your contribution to the clan for discovering the Soul Palace's whereabouts this time."

A seemingly casual remark, however, brought Yi Ziqian great joy.

Even though the ancient clans don't interfere much, they can't erase the fact that they are the masters of the Eastern Region.

Being remembered by the ancient clans means that Huangfeng Valley can at least find peace in the future.

You might even receive some rewards!
Without saying much to him, Xun'er waved her hand slightly, signaling him to leave first.

"What are your plans next, Brother Chen Xiao?"

When she turned around, Xun'er's cool and beautiful face instantly lit up with a smile, her expression changing so quickly that it took everyone by surprise.

Chen Xiao glanced at the crowd that had not yet dispersed in the distance. After making an example of him and seeing Xun'er's undisguised intimacy, there shouldn't be many people daring to make a move on him now.

At this moment, ordinary Dou Zun do not have the ability to snatch it, but what Dou Zun, a half-saint, or even a true Dou Sheng powerhouse, does not have some good stuff in his hands?

For the sake of a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique, it wouldn't be worth risking offending the ancient clans and the Purple Cloud Pavilion to take action against him.

"I've heard that the ancient holy city under the command of the ancient clans is quite magnificent. It's a rare opportunity to come to the Eastern Region..."

Chen Xiao was about to say that if there were no other important matters, he could spend a few more days with Xun'er.

Unfortunately, God did not wish.

As they were talking, Chen Xiao suddenly sensed that a jade slip in his storage ring had shattered.

Chen Xiao's expression changed, and he hurriedly took it out.

The moment the jade slip appeared, it shattered completely!
"Brother Chen Xiao, this is..."

"I left five methods of communication for Xian'er and the others. Crushing this jade slip means that something big is about to happen!"

"Are Qinglin and the others in danger?"

Hearing this, Xun'er couldn't help but become anxious.

"Don't worry, they're fine. Otherwise, they wouldn't have crushed this jade slip. But no matter what, I have to get back as soon as possible to check on them."

Chen Xiao shook his head slightly, his gaze towards Xun'er filled with apology, "I'm sorry, Xun'er, I'm afraid I can't continue to accompany you this time."

Xun'er's eyes dimmed slightly, but then a gentle smile appeared on her face as her fingertips lightly brushed against the gold ornaments at her temples.

"It's alright. It's already a pleasant surprise to see Brother Chen Xiao in Huangfeng Valley. Brother Chen Xiao, please be careful on your journey."

Chen Xiao nodded, stepped forward and hugged Xun'er, and after a brief moment of tenderness, placed a kiss on her forehead.

Without hesitation, it tore through space and disappeared.

As Xun'er gazed at the gradually healing space, a touching smile appeared on her cheeks.

She knew that everything that happened today could not be kept secret from the clan. Since Chen Xiao dared to be so blatant, there would probably be consequences when they met next time!
"The Battle Saint won't be long..."

With a murmur, Xun'er's figure flickered and then disappeared from the spot.
