Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

Chapter 151 The Great Investigation

Yao Wanhu let out a cold sneer, but ultimately said nothing.

The Ancient Clan has always been the leader of the six clans. The Ancient Dao has already made a decision. If we oppose it now, it would be disrespectful to the Ancient Clan.

"Thank you."

The old patriarch of the Dan Tower ignored the arrogance of the ancient path, his gaze passing over the crowd and landing directly on the messy ruins below.

He did not move, but a faint white light appeared between his brows, and a strand of soul power, refined to the extreme, hung down like an invisible thread and quietly seeped in.

A moment later, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the old ancestor of the Dan Tower: "There are two completely different auras remaining here."

The sword intent soared to the heavens. Even a saint who had been immersed in the way of the sword for thousands of years might not have such pure sword intent. It must be Xiao Jibai, the successor of the Sword Emperor. Only he could make you mobilize such a large force.

The other aura was also extremely peculiar, a semi-saint's pressure accompanied by a phoenix's cry. That sense of holiness was something the Heavenly Demon Phoenix could not possess, but rather somewhat resembled the legendary ancient Heavenly Phoenix that had long since disappeared from the continent..."

The old patriarch of the Pill Tower paused, his gaze fixed on the ancient path: "Some time ago, you went to great lengths to besiege the Phoenix Nest of the Wutong Tree, all for the sake of the owner of this aura?"

Yao Wanhuo's lips curled into a mocking sneer: "Do we, the imperial clan, need to report to you about our actions?"

"If you're willing, I might as well listen."

The old patriarch of Danta remained calm.

Yao Wanhuo instantly flew into a rage.

Gu Dao smiled and said, "The person who fought Xiao Jibai was indeed the child of the Dragon-Phoenix Dou Di from ancient times."

That Dragon-Phoenix Battle Emperor was transformed from an ancient Heavenly Phoenix who devoured the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. We went to the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan to search for the Dragon-Phoenix Child, but returned disappointed.

The old patriarch of the Pill Tower looked astonished: "The son of the Dragon and Phoenix?"

Since the emergence of the Sword Emperor's Ruins, only members of the ancient imperial clans have been allowed to explore them from the very beginning. The forces of the Central Plains have been kept out, and the ancient imperial clans have only selectively revealed a portion of the secrets contained within the ruins.

This was the first time that the Pill Tower Ancestor had heard of the Dragon-Phoenix Son.

Yao Wanhuo's expression changed slightly: "Why tell these lowly people about this?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the powerful figures from Central Continent who had come with the Pill Tower Ancestor all turned grim.

Gu Dao said calmly, "Now that the Son of Dragon and Phoenix has appeared in Zhongzhou, we should add another person to our bounty list. They will find out sooner or later."

Only then did Yao Wanhuo finally give up.

Fire Spirit Fairy's expression hardened slightly, her gaze lingering on Gu Dao for a moment as she pondered to herself.

This old man from the ancient road is truly cunning; he probably had this intention in mind when he agreed to let the Pill Tower Ancestor stay.

You have to be careful when dealing with people like that, otherwise you might get sold out one day and not even know it...

The old patriarch of the Pill Tower had a wise glint in his clear eyes: "We were asked to search for the Sword Emperor's successor, and now we have to add the Dragon-Phoenix Son to the list..."

That's fine then, but if they're going to use our help, shouldn't they at least provide us with accurate information?

After a moment's thought, Gu Dao said, "Qingyang."

"Yes!"

Gu Qingyang understood and then informed the Pill Tower Ancestor and others about the old feud between the Sword Emperor and the Dragon-Phoenix Battle Emperor, as well as information related to the Dragon-Phoenix Son.

"It's so true!"

The more he listened, the more solemn the old patriarch of the Dan Tower became.

"That son of the Dragon and Phoenix has secretly cultivated to the level of a half-saint, and is also plotting to obtain the Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit. If he succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Why didn't you interfere with the Son of Dragon and Phoenix before? Instead, you issued a warrant for the arrest of the Sword Emperor's successor, who carries such a great mission, throughout the Central Plains! Yao Wanhuo's eyes flashed, his tone filled with suppressed anger.

"Xiao Jibai not only killed members of my Medicine Clan, but also stole our clan's inherited exotic fire. What's wrong with putting him on the wanted list?"

Fairy Hua Zongqing frowned upon hearing this and couldn't help but speak out sharply, her voice clear yet carrying a righteous air: "How can personal grudges be placed above the greater good of the race?"

"Who do you think you are, daring to tell me how to do things?!"

Yao Wanhuo was already in turmoil, and being publicly refuted by Qingxianzi only fueled his anger, causing his aura to surge.

"boom--!"

The terrifying pressure of a six-star Dou Sheng swept out like a tsunami, crushing directly towards Qing Xianzi. The air was frozen by this pressure, and subtle ripples of distortion appeared in the surrounding space.

Qingxianzi's face turned pale.

Just as the oppressive force was about to touch Qing Xianzi, the Pill Tower Ancestor waved his sleeve lightly, and a soft yet extremely resilient pale golden barrier quietly appeared, steadily blocking the violent oppressive force from the outside.

Gu Dao stroked his beard and said, "Alright, Yao Wanhuo, why bother getting angry with a junior? It would only make you lose face."

Yao Wanhu snorted coldly.

Qingxianzi has been a senior figure in Zhongzhou for a long time, but she is still not quite up to par at this level.

The old ancestor of Danta looked at Gu Dao and asked, "Do the ancient imperial clans really not care about that dragon-phoenix son?"
Even if you possess the foundation of an imperial family, if this person were to obtain the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, the impact on you would be considerable.

Gu Dao said indifferently, "Of course we have to manage it, otherwise we wouldn't have gone to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan in the first place."

However, the Dragon-Phoenix Son is extremely well hidden. Even the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is unaware of his existence. Finding him would be no easy task.

Now that the Son of Dragon and Phoenix has appeared in Zhongzhou, there is a sliver of possibility of capturing him. As for issuing a warrant for Xiao Jibai's arrest... this is also for the sake of the overall situation of the human race.

"Instead of waiting for him to grow up, it's better to let the clan leader break through to the Dou Di realm. At that time, a mere Dragon-Phoenix Son will naturally be nothing to fear."

Such a shameless statement was enough to make even the venerable Danta Ancestor sigh inwardly at its audacity.

"But……"

Before the old patriarch of the Pill Tower could ask further, Gu Dao's expression turned cold: "Do not cause any more trouble, or you will have no reason to stay here."

The old patriarch of the Dan Tower's expression darkened slightly, and he said nothing more.

Afterwards, everyone stopped arguing and quietly waited for the investigation results. Half a month later, Gu Qingyang and the others finally made a discovery.

"Supreme Elder."

Gu Qingyang strode forward, accompanied by a man. He first bowed and then said, "The battle between Xiao Jibai and the son of the Dragon and Phoenix is ​​already a battle at the level of a half-saint."

The aftershocks of that battle were terrifying. Within a radius of ten thousand miles of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, all life vanished. Even passersby who were fortunate enough to sense the aura of a powerful figure were terrified and kept their distance, not daring to approach.

He stepped aside to let the man beside him pass and continued, "We spent a lot of effort searching the surrounding area and finally found this person."

According to him, he not only witnessed Xiao Jibai's battle with the Dragon-Phoenix Son, but he also clearly saw the scene when Xiao Jibai first appeared at the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

"Oh?"

A glint flashed in Gu Dao's murky eyes as he looked at the trembling passerby whose cultivation was only at the Dou Huang level.

“Tell me what you know truthfully, and you will surely benefit from it.”
