Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

"Senior brother, are we leaving?"

When Xiao Yan saw Han Feng return, he asked...

"Okay, let's get ready."

"Already prepared."

Xiao Yan stood up and patted his clothes.

As the saying goes, "Returning home in glory," and having been promoted to Dou Zun, Xiao Yan couldn't wait to go back and see the reactions of his teacher and the others.

"I have a task for you to complete when I return to Starfall Pavilion this time."

"What mission?"

Han Feng took out a scroll and handed it to Xiao Yan.

“Since you have accepted the legacy of the Xiao clan’s ancestors, you should bear the consequences.”

"Do you know how many branches of the Xiao Clan there are on the Dou Qi Continent?"

Xiao Yan was slightly startled upon hearing this, as if he had guessed something.

He opened the scroll and found it covered with the character "萧" (xiao).

These characters "Xiao" represent different Xiao families on the Dou Qi Continent.

Some members of the Xiao family were marked with a special color because they were identified as branches of the Xiao clan from back then. The leader of these branches was the head of the Qi Sect of the Southern Li Kingdom.

"This, senior brother, where did you get this information from?"

Xiao Yan asked in shock.

"Actually, many years ago, I encountered a Xiao family force that seemed to be a branch of the Xiao family, but there was no point in telling you at that time."

"Now that your cultivation has reached a certain level, reviving the Xiao family is no longer a difficult task for you."

Xiao Yan nodded.

The ancestors of the Xiao clan placed high hopes on him, and he naturally could not let them down.

"Senior brother, I will try to win them over."

Han Feng looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Although you are now representing the main family, don't try to use your power to bully others. The main reason I sent you on this mission is because the Xiao family is distributed all over the continent. You can take this opportunity to gain some experience."

Although the Soul Palace is currently causing trouble on the Dou Qi Continent, it is still in its early stages and has not yet reached the point of universal war.

Given the conservative tactics the Soul Clan has chosen, these next few years may be the last few years of peace.

Further down the line, large-scale wars will inevitably break out, and those who are inexperienced in the ways of the world may develop a natural fear of such situations.

Therefore, going out to gain experience is essential.

"Don't worry, senior brother. What our ancestor Xiao Xuan gave me is not just the bloodline of the Xiao clan's Dou Di. I have many ways to win them over."

Xiao Yan smiled.

As the only descendant of the Xiao clan to receive gifts from Xiao Xuan, Xiao Yan's family fortune is quite substantial.

Putting aside everything else, the martial arts and fighting techniques passed down by the Xiao clan alone are enough to make 99% of the people in the world risk their lives for them.

After the two brothers were ready, they went to Gu Xun'er's residence to say goodbye.

"Mr. Han, Cousin Xiao Yan, are you leaving?"

Gu Xun'er walked out the door and looked at the two of them, saying...

"Yes, Xun'er, come visit Xingyun Pavilion when you have time."

Xiao Yan said to Gu Xun'er.

"Okay, I'll go."

Gu Xun'er smiled and nodded.

Han Feng nodded slightly to Gu Xun'er, without saying much in farewell.

As for what I wanted to say, I had already told the girl before.

The two turned and flew away from the outside of the ancient clan. Gu Xun'er watched them leave, then stood alone on the mountain peak, appearing aloof and noble.

A moment later, Gu Yuan appeared behind Gu Xun'er.

"Still looking? The person has already gone far away."

"Father."

Gu Xun'er turned around, her voice tinged with shyness.

"If you really like him, your father won't stop you, but... you mustn't act recklessly before you break through to the Dou Sheng realm."

Hearing Gu Yuan's words, Gu Xun'er's face turned even redder.

Having received education from ancient tribes, she naturally knew the underlying meaning of those words.

If a person with the bloodline of a Divine-grade Dou Di engages in sexual intercourse before breaking through to Dou Sheng, it will damage the purity of their bloodline.

"Haha, alright, alright, I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore."

Seeing that his daughter seemed to be turning him away, Gu Yuan quickly said...

"But Xun'er, Han Feng is right. In the future, the ancient clans will definitely go to war with the Soul Clan. At that time, it will be very cruel."

Facing his daughter, Gu Yuan did not maintain the mysterious and noble demeanor of a clan leader. Like an ordinary father, he told his daughter about his worries for her.

"Father, I will cultivate diligently and break through to the Dou Sheng realm as soon as possible."

Gu Xun'er said.

"These kinds of things depend on timing; just do your best."

Even with a divine bloodline, breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm is no easy feat.

Gu Yuan knew very well that breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm was something that could not be rushed. As long as one had enough talent and the time was right, one would naturally break through.

"You can also pay attention to what opportunities are available for you on the Dou Qi Continent recently. Go out and explore more; the probability of breaking through will be higher."

Gu Yuan said.

On the matter of gaining experience, he and Han Feng shared similar views.

When he was young, he didn't break through his limits while staying in the ancient clan; many crucial stages were completed outside.

"Ling Ying".

"Clan leader!"

Upon hearing Gu Yuan's call, Ling Ying immediately came out and bowed respectfully to Gu Yuan.

As a guard, he only needs to appear when his master needs him.

"Back then, I sent you to the Northwest Continent to protect Xun'er, and you did a very good job."

"This is my duty as a subordinate."

"Next, go to the medicine storehouse to get a Venerable Pill, and then go to the Tianyuan Secret Realm for a period of seclusion."

Gu Yuan said.

Ling Ying was slightly taken aback, then immediately accepted the order.

The Venerable Pill is a rare and highly prized breakthrough pill among Rank 8 pills.

The Heavenly Origin Secret Realm is a top-tier blessed land among the ancient clans. Normally, one needs to exchange a large amount of merit points to enter it for cultivation.

Ling Ying slowly disappeared into the shadows.

He knew that Miss Xun'er would no longer need him for a while.

This was a reward from Gu Yuan, and also a signal that he should temporarily retire.

A peak Dou Zong is indeed not suitable to continue protecting a peak Dou Zun.

Next, those who will protect Miss Xun'er will likely be top-tier fighters among the Dou Sheng.

Previously, I heard from Clan Chief Gu Yuan that he wanted Xun'er to go out and gain experience. In that case, a qualified protector is essential.

Starfall Pavilion.

After leaving the Ancient Clan, Han Feng and Xiao Yan returned directly to their base camp.

At this time, the Starfall Pavilion entered a special state of combat readiness.

Gathering forces from all directions, commanding the southern regions.

This was the first time Xiao Yan had seen the Starfall Pavilion in this state.

Has the situation become that urgent?

"It's just preparation in advance. These things are a piece of cake for teachers."

Han Feng said.

Yao Chen is a renowned medicine master on the continent, but he is usually quite calm and has never done anything like this before.

If he truly has a need, the number one alchemist on the continent could give an order and the entire Central Continent would be in an uproar.

Han Feng and Xiao Yan arrived at the back mountain and met Yao Chen.

"You are back."

Yao Chen raised his head and looked at his two disciples.

His gaze lingered on Xiao Yan for a moment, then he showed a look of surprise.

"Douzun?"

Xiao Yan smiled, his face seemingly radiant.

"Teacher, how is it?"

After all these years, he has finally made something of himself again.

Although it was with the help of the Xiao clan's ancestors, it was also his good fortune.

"You're pretty impressive, Xiao Yanzi."

Upon hearing Yao Chen's address, Xiao Yan's expression darkened.

"Teacher, I'm a Dou Zun now, can you use a nicer title?"

"So you're called Venerable Yan?"

Yao Chen joked.

"It's not impossible!"

Xiao Yan decided to stop pretending and casually sat down in the room.

He glanced at the map on Yao Chen's table and asked curiously, "Teacher, is a war about to break out?"

"Ah."

Yao Chen nodded.

"The Starfall Pavilion has entered a state of combat readiness and could clash with the Soul Palace at any time."

"Soul Palace?"

Xiao Yan frowned.

"They've started again."

My senior brother had already dealt with them once before, but now they've made a comeback.

Xiao Yan disliked the Soul Palace very much. Just thinking about how the Xiao family had been targeted by them made him realize that this force was evil.

"Feng'er, have you heard any movement from the ancient clans these past few days?"

Yao Chen looked at Han Feng and asked.

Han Feng explained the current situation of the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan to Yao Chen.

Upon learning that the Soul Clan had remained inactive, Yao Chen frowned slightly.

"A protracted war? That's not a good thing."
