Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

But it doesn't matter. With Xun'er's performance this time, the other clans are probably all intimidated.

In normal times, this would indeed help increase the prestige of the ancient tribe, but unfortunately, this is not a normal time.

Han Feng glanced at the Soul Clan's encampment in the distance. He saw that although there was still surprise in the eyes of those Soul Clan members, there was also a hint of disdainful mockery.

If I remember correctly, the Soul Clan also has divine-grade bloodlines, and there are more than one!

Using the Devouring Spirit Clan's abilities acquired through the Void Devouring Flame, they maintain a high level of Dou Di bloodline. They extend their ruthless reach to their own people, selecting from the bottom up and concentrating the bloodline concentration among the upper echelons.

The Soul Clan suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Xiao Clan a thousand years ago, but with the help of the Void Devouring Flame, they not only recovered quickly, but also began to accumulate energy in preparation for conquering the world in the future.

This matter has far-reaching implications, and Han Feng cannot reveal the information directly, lest the Soul Clan suffer a devastating defeat.

The Soul Clan needs time, and so does he. It all depends on who can accumulate enough power to turn the tide before the final battle.

"Now that the ceremony is over, Elder Tongxuan, I shall take my leave."

Gu Xun'er bowed slightly to Elder Tongxuan before flying towards the stands.

Elder Tongxuan raised his hand, his expression somewhat helpless.

Although the young lady has awakened a divine bloodline, she still seems to be quite attached to that person named Han Feng.

If only the young lady had grown up in the clan, she would definitely have developed a deep affection for the ancient clan.

The decade or so that Gu Xun'er spent missing from the ancient clan was like a fleeting moment to these elders, but for a young person, it was her most precious youth.

After the bestowal of a clan crest at the pinnacle level by Xun'er, the subsequent bestowals no longer held much interest. Therefore, Elder Tongxuan withdrew early, handing over the remaining tasks to the other elders...

At this time, Han Feng and the others had also left the core area and returned to the small courtyard on the mountaintop with Gu Xun'er.

"Congratulations, Xun'er! Divine bloodline and seven-colored clan markings. Now, no one in the ancient clan should dare to underestimate you anymore."

"Mr. Han didn't seem that surprised, which made Xun'er feel a little defeated."

Gu Xun'er said in a deliberately arrogant tone.

“I was prepared for this. That ancient demon could awaken an eighth-grade bloodline, so you must be even higher.”

Mentioning the ancient demon, Gu Xun'er couldn't help but smile.

"Mr. Han, may I ask what you were thinking when Gu Yao challenged you?"

"me?"

Han Feng smiled helplessly.

To be honest, it's quite frustrating.

Being challenged by a Dou Zun, if you let him make a move, the price will drop, but if you don't make a move, the situation will be awkward.

"Surprised? But not that surprised. After all, everyone who has seen Xun'er knows her charm. She was in the Xiao family, then at Canaan Academy, and now in the Ancient Clan. Where wouldn't she be loved?"

At this point, Xiao Yan turned his head slightly to hide his embarrassment.

"Mr. Han's statement is far from exaggerated."

Gu Xun'er covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

After chatting for a while, Gu Xun'er suddenly glanced at Xiao Yan and said, "Mr. Han, you brought Cousin Xiao Yan here this time for the Heavenly Tomb, right?"

Han Feng was slightly surprised.

"Xun'er guessed it?"

Gu Xun'er smiled and said, "After all, Mr. Han always comes to the Gu Clan on business; he wouldn't really come to see me..."

Han Feng gave an awkward laugh.

"You can't say that..."

"In short, leave the matter of Cousin Xiao Yan entering the Heavenly Tomb to me."

Gu Xun'er said confidently.

Han Feng's eyes lit up upon hearing this. Since Xun'er said so, it meant that she was quite confident.

With divine bloodline and seven-colored clan markings, he might possess even greater power than he imagined, according to the rules established by the ancient clan.

"However, the Heavenly Tomb is very dangerous. Although Cousin Xiao Yan is now a Dou Zong,..."

Gu Xun'er quickly expressed her concerns.

Xiao Yan lowered his head in shame.

Outside the world, his strength as a Dou Zong could be considered genius, but within the ancient clans, without reaching the Dou Zun level, he couldn't even compare to Ling Quan at the very beginning.

"There's no need to worry about that; his safety is guaranteed."

Han Feng waved his hand and said directly.

Gu Xun'er nodded.

"Since Mr. Han says so, then there's no problem, Cousin Xiao Yan..."

Gu Xun'er looked at Xiao Yan, seemingly asking for his opinion.

"I don't have any problem either!"

Xiao Yan answered decisively, "I can't let Xun'er look down on me!"

"Alright, leave this matter to me. The coming-of-age ceremony is probably over now, and the elders will soon be discussing the quotas for entering the Heavenly Tomb."

Gu Xun'er stood up and walked towards the door.

Han Feng and Xiao Yan escorted her to the main gate and watched her fly away into the distance.

"Now Xun'er is also worried about this matter, junior brother, you also need to step up your efforts."

Han Feng said to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan nodded heavily.

"I will!"

Chapter 390 Gu Yuan

The ancient clan hall was brightly lit, and on the spacious meeting table, rows of elderly figures sat, creating a rather somber and solemn atmosphere.

"Next, we need to discuss the opening of the Heavenly Tomb. As is customary, our ancient clan has four slots, and with the Xiao clan, that makes six. However, this time a young fellow has arrived, surnamed Xiao..."

Elder Tongxuan surveyed the entire room and spoke calmly.

"Hehe, you mean Xiao Yan, right?"

An elder with a full head of white hair smiled nonchalantly.

"That's right, it's him, that little guy named Xiao Yan, who comes from the Xiao family. He's now a disciple of the Medicine Saint of the Starfall Pavilion, so he has some background."

"The mere Starfall Pavilion is nothing to mention."

The white-haired elder waved his hand.

"The Xiao Clan has declined to this point and is no longer among the ancient races. Excluding them is not unreasonable. I think Xiao Yan should be able to understand this."

Some of the elders nodded slightly upon hearing this.

After all, they had been using the Xiao clan's quota all along and were used to it.

"Oh!"

Just then, the tightly closed door of the conference room suddenly opened. The guard at the door was about to shout a reprimand when a seven-colored light shone, and he immediately knelt down on the ground.

"Elder Gushan, ever since the Xiao Clan left Zhongzhou, the Gu Clan has been occupying their spots until now. Now that someone from the Xiao Clan has finally come here, you refuse to return even this one spot. Isn't that going too far?"

A burst of seven-colored light shot into the main hall, enveloping all the elders. A clear, cold voice suddenly rang out throughout the hall.

Under the seven-colored light, many elders' expressions changed slightly, and their bodies trembled imperceptibly. If they weren't so powerful, they would probably have knelt down like the guards under this pressure of bloodline...

"Xun'er..."

Some elders gave a wry smile. Who else in the ancient clan, besides Xun'er, could possess such a level of bloodline pressure?

Under the watchful eyes of many, Gu Xun'er slowly walked into the center of the hall, a seven-colored radiance emanating from between her brows.

"Sigh... Xun'er, let's put away the clan crest for now."

Elder Tongxuan glanced at Elder Gushan and the others, whose expressions were not very good, and said helplessly.

Upon hearing Elder Tongxuan's words, the seven-colored luster between Xun'er's eyebrows gradually diminished.

"Xun'er, you are a member of my ancient clan! You should think more about the ancient clan when you do things!"

Gu Shan, who had previously offered his opinion, said with a sullen face.

"It is understandable that the elders are thinking of the interests of the ancient clans. However, since the rules established by the eight great families were set out in the first place and have not been abolished since, do you intend to use your strength to violate the rules set by our ancestors?"

At this point, Gu Xun'er's gaze turned slightly cold as she glanced at Gu Qian and Gu Xu in their seats.

Under Gu Xun'er's gaze, the two elders at the peak of the Dou Zun level felt a slight chill run down their spines, as if the hairs on their heads stood on end.

This is bad. It seems that their previous attempts to stop them have made the young lady very unhappy.

When Gu Shan saw that Gu Xun'er was using the rules to reason with him, he was speechless for a moment. As an elder of the Gu clan, he could not openly violate the rules set by his ancestors.

Some things are easier to do if left unsaid, but once they are discussed, they become much harder to hide.

At this moment, Elder Tongxuan stepped forward to ease the tension.

"Alright, it's just one spot, there's no need to make such a fuss. I'll take the liberty of making a decision this time: Xiao Yan's spot will be returned to the Xiao Clan."

Gu Xun'er nodded.

"There's still one spot left for the Xiao clan..."

"Miss Xun'er, don't go too far. Do you mean you're planning to give your spot to Han Feng?"

Gu Shan spoke at this moment.

"Giving it to a descendant of the Xiao clan is already the biggest concession. If we were to give the spot to someone outside the eight clans, I would be the first to object. Besides, the rules set by our ancestors don't apply to Han Feng, do they?"

Gu Xun'er pursed her lips, then gave up on trying to persuade Gu Shan.

She nodded to Elder Tongxuan, then turned and left.

Watching Xun'er's disappearing figure, many elders in the main hall looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not expected that Xun'er, who had always been indifferent to clan affairs, would be so assertive.

However, from another perspective, this is also a good thing. After all, Gu Xun'er didn't like to get involved in clan affairs in the past, so many clansmen didn't have a deep understanding of Gu Xun'er.

After this incident, Gu Xun'er's prestige among the elders will likely increase.

How can the future of a race not be imbued with a touch of dominance?

"Elder Tongxuan, is there still Xiao Xuan's tomb within the Heavenly Tomb? Our people have yet to enter that place..."

After Xun'er left, Gu Shan remained silent for a while, but still couldn't help but speak.

"Don't even think about trying to enter Xiao Xuan's tomb. With his extraordinary abilities back then, even if the clan leader were to intervene, the success rate of preventing others from entering his tomb wouldn't exceed 50%. So, don't waste your time..."

As Elder Tongxuan frowned, an aged voice slowly echoed in the hall.

Upon hearing this voice, Elder Gushan immediately shut his mouth.

Since even this person has spoken up, then Xiao Xuan's tomb is truly out of the question.

"Alright, everyone disperse. The Ancient Realm has recently invited many powerful individuals, so please be careful not to let anyone disturb the descendants of the Ancient Realm..."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the elders respectfully responded, then slowly rose and left the main hall one after another.

Inside the main hall, Elder Tongxuan bowed respectfully to the void beside him.

"What are your instructions regarding this matter, clan chief?"

"It's nothing, just agree to let Xiao Yan enter the Heavenly Tomb, and then not to bother with the Xiao Clan's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade."

"this......"

Elder Tongxuan was taken aback, but since the clan leader had already spoken, they naturally had nothing to say.

"Ok."
