Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

However, he did not pay attention to any further investigation.

After all, Han Feng only had contact with Gu Xun'er for a few days, and then he didn't appear again for ten years.

It wasn't until two years ago, when Han Feng reappeared at the Xiao family, that Gu Yuan began to take the name Han Feng seriously.

All of this had nothing to do with Han Feng's own circumstances, but was entirely due to his daughter's special attitude towards him.

Although Gu Yuan never personally visited Gu Xun'er during the more than ten years she stayed at the Xiao family's residence, he kept a close eye on his daughter's situation.

During that period, Gu Yuan sent out many secret agents from the ancient clans to thoroughly investigate Han Feng's information.

Born in the Black Corner Region and raised in the Starfall Pavilion, Han Feng suddenly disappeared after reaching adulthood. He then spent his training in the Northwest Sea of ​​the Dou Qi Continent. When he reappeared in the Black Corner Region, Han Feng was already a Dou Wang powerhouse.

Much of the information that even Feng Xian couldn't find was known to this behemoth, the ancient clan.

Although the ancient clans do not usually interfere in the affairs of the Dou Qi Continent, once they take action, no one can escape their search, unless they are beings of the same level.

Coincidentally, Mu Gu, the Soul Hall Venerable who knew about the evil deeds of the previous Han Feng, had already been killed by Han Feng before the ancient clan took notice of him. His soul was extracted and his body was refined, leaving not even a trace.

Otherwise, the ancient clans would probably know about Han Feng's past misdeeds.

Of course, the fact that Han Feng and the Medicine Master disappeared in the same year remains highly suspicious.

Therefore, Gu Yuan still did not give up the investigation. For others, this kind of thing might require a huge price, after all, it was a secret from a long time ago, but for Gu Yuan, it was just a matter of a few words. After giving the order, the experts of the ancient clan would naturally take care of it for him.

However, something even more coincidental soon happened.

Because Han Feng was searching extensively for clues about Yao Chen, the ancient clan quickly intercepted this intelligence.

After Han Feng revived Yao Chen, the mystery was solved.

After all, if Yao Chen's death was related to Han Feng and was malicious, why would he choose to revive Yao Chen?

Behind this incident, a mysterious force has been secretly investigating, without even Han Feng noticing.

Although Han Feng knew that his actions would attract the attention of some people, he did not expect that the ancient clans would also be involved.

"Come in and sit down."

Han Feng led Lin Xian'er calmly into the bamboo building.

Gu Zhen and the others quietly withdrew.

"I never expected that in less than two years, you would be able to break through to the Dou Zun level and become a true Dou Sheng."

Gu Yuan exclaimed in admiration.

Even he had never seen such a rapid promotion.

"I've encountered some opportunities in the past two years, and I just happened to be able to seize them."

"Young friend Han Feng is too modest. No matter how great the opportunity, you still need to have strong personal strength to break through the Dou Sheng level."

Even a powerful bloodline like that of a Dou Di cannot give a clansman a greater advantage over others when it comes to advancing to the Dou Sheng level.

Hearing Gu Yuan praise Han Feng like that, Lin Xian'er felt very happy.

This is my master, of course he's amazing.

"I am truly flattered and honored to be received by you personally today, thanks to the praise of the Mongol chieftain."

"Hehe, a father always has to be careful."

Gu Yuan laughed.

Han Feng was slightly taken aback.

“I investigated you long ago, more than ten years ago.”

Han Feng smiled helplessly upon hearing this.

It seems that his concern for Gu Xun'er back then directly brought him into the sight of this strongest person in the world.

From this perspective, could it be considered that my goal has been successfully achieved?

Even Gu Yuan's current air of knowing everything about him seems a bit excessive?

"Given the ancient clan's profound heritage, it seems I have no secrets left from Chief Gu Yuan."

"Haha, I already said, young friend Han Feng, you are too modest."

Gu Yuan burst into laughter.

"You are now a Dou Sheng, a top-tier expert even within my ancient clan."

"I just looked into your life story to see what kind of person you are."

Han Feng nodded.

"Does Patriarch Gu Yuan have his own opinion?"

"of course."

Gu Yuan smiled gently.

"You are an outstanding young man. If you cultivate step by step, you will surely have a place among the top ranks of the Dou Qi Continent in the future."

"But I'm very curious, why do you have such a deep hatred for the Soul Palace?"

Han Feng calmly replied, "The Soul Palace has committed numerous atrocities throughout the continent. It is only an inevitable trend to punish it."

"The trend of the times? If the trend is really as you say, the Soul Palace would not have such a powerful scale of influence today."

"Even the Pill Tower couldn't do it. How did you, a Dou Zong who wasn't even a Dou Zun, dare to go alone and destroy an entire Earthly Fiend Palace?"

"Clan Chief Gu Yuan even knows about this kind of thing?"

"It's just a guess. After all, no one in the entire Central Plains has ever dared to do that before."

Gu Yuan looked into Han Feng's eyes and slowly said, "Moreover, from your actions in Zhongzhou, I can tell that your purpose is probably not just the Soul Palace."

"Clan Chief Gu Yuan is amazing."

Han Feng looked completely defeated.

"But does anyone else in the ancient clan know about me?"

"No, that's not true. After all, this matter concerns Xun'er, so it's my private matter and I don't want to trouble the clan's resources."

Gu Yuan said.

The forces he sent to investigate the matter were all private armies.

Han Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Clan Chief Gu Yuan clearly distinguishes between public and private matters. Fortunately, fortunately."

Gu Yuan's upright eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"What is the meaning of this, young friend Han Feng?"

"Since there are no outsiders here, I will speak frankly. I hope Chief Gu Yuan will forgive my intrusion."

Han Feng spoke in a normal tone, but his words sent a shiver down Gu Yuan's spine: "There may be spies planted by the Soul Clan among the ancient clans."

A silence fell over the room.

Lin Xian'er tensed up instantly, feeling an urge to escape from this place.

Is this something I can listen to?

Master, how could you say that to my face?!

Lin Xian'er glanced at Gu Yuan sitting on her right and felt the atmosphere around her suddenly become as heavy as a swamp.

"Young friend Han Feng, what makes you say that?"

Gu Yuan spoke slowly, and the oppressive atmosphere finally dissipated.

“I captured a Soul Hall protector in the Northwest Continent before. He was very certain that the Xiao Clan from back then is now in the Northwest Continent.”

"That alone is probably not enough to explain it, is it?"

After all, there is still one person who knows about the Xiao clan, and that is Han Feng.

Since this information is not unique, its leak cannot be attributed to the ancient clans.

Perhaps the information was leaked unintentionally?

Han Feng remained silent.

His certainty stemmed not only from the memories of the eagle, but also from the doubts surrounding the instantaneous defeat of the ancient clan in his previous life.

The combination of these two factors led him to the conclusion that there might be traitors from the Soul Clan among the ancient races.

But he couldn't explain this to Gu Yuan either.

There is no authority on matters without evidence.

"I apologize, it was my presumption."

"Hey."

Gu Yuan waved his hand.

"I understand your concerns. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else about your information."

"If you have further evidence to prove your point, please don't hesitate to tell me directly, young friend Han Feng."

The implication is that people should not make baseless accusations against the ancient people.

Han Feng nodded.

It was fortunate that Gu Yuan was a good-tempered person; otherwise, Han Feng's words alone might have angered this strongest person on the continent.

"Alright, let's end our conversation here. Xun'er is waiting for you outside. Take her out for a walk to clear her head."

Gu Yuan said with a smile.

Han Feng stood up and gave Gu Yuan a slight bow.

"Thank you for your kindness, Clan Chief Gu Yuan. I will take my leave now."

Gu Yuan nodded, got up and saw Han Feng and Lin Xian'er out of the bamboo building.

He watched the two walk into the forest path, then narrowed his eyes.

"The Soul Clan..."

To be honest, Gu Yuan wouldn't be surprised at all if the Soul Clan had planted spies in the Ancient Clan.

Moreover, with such a large population among the ancient tribes, it's quite normal to have one or two spies.

The key issue is that Gu Yuan cannot possibly investigate every member of the ancient clan based on Han Feng's speculation.

As the chieftain of the ancient tribe, he needs to consider the feelings of his people.

When most of the tribe is united, it is a difficult task to carry out a cleanup.

Unless Han Feng can provide him with more important information or clear evidence, Gu Yuan will not act rashly.

"Han Feng... This kid clearly has such strong talent, yet he chose the most difficult path."

Gu Yuan smiled gently.

"That's bold..."

Regardless of any ethnic stance, and speaking solely on his personal behalf, Gu Yuan highly values ​​this young man.

That's why he agreed to let Xun'er go out with him to relax.

However, considering the perspective of the entire ancient clan, he could not possibly choose to stand against the Soul Clan because of this.

The current situation of balance among the eight ancient tribes is the best option.

There will be no major casualties on any side, and the clansmen will be able to live peacefully and stably.

If the ancient clans set this precedent, they will be the ones to break the balance, and Gu Yuan will inevitably bear the primary responsibility for it.

As a leader who ruled for millennia, Gu Yuan's governing philosophy was relatively conservative.

Han Feng realized this during the conversation, which is why he didn't continue the conversation.

To defeat the Soul Clan, the most important thing is to rely on ourselves.

The eight clans will not make any major choices until the balance of power is broken.

On the way down the mountain, Lin Xian'er whispered, "Master, it was a little dangerous just now."
