158: Chapter 158: The Nascent Soul Arrives

Inside the Discussion Hall, just as Xiao Yuan finished saying "The Medicinal Pill is on me", the seven beautiful Elders were beaming with joy, and the atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious.

Suddenly...

Boom!!!

A terrifying Aura descended from the sky, as if the heavens were collapsing, directly pressing down upon the entire Main Peak of Dan Peak!

Xiao Yuan's figure paused, and he felt as if he were being crushed by a massive mountain, making even breathing difficult!

The expressions of the seven women changed simultaneously!

Peak Master Yun Ruowei abruptly stood up, her expression changing drastically!

Yun Qingwan, Leng Youyue, Lin Zhirou, and the others also stood up one after another, each of them looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy!

That Aura was countless times stronger than the Golden Core Peak!

Nascent Soul!

It was definitely a Nascent Soul!

Everyone's gazes simultaneously turned toward the entrance of the Discussion Hall.

A figure had already been standing there without anyone noticing.

That was a middle-aged male cultivator with a square face and an ethereal, immortal demeanor, who at first glance possessed quite a bit of the air of an expert.

But those eyes were gloomy and deep, making anyone who looked at them feel very uncomfortable.

Standing there, clearly having done nothing at all, he nevertheless caused the air in the entire Discussion Hall to freeze.

Xiao Yuan's pupils contracted slightly as turbulent waves surged in his heart.

This person... could easily pass through the Restriction formation of the Main Peak of Dan Peak! His cultivation level was definitely above the Nascent Soul Stage!

Even if he was only in the Early Nascent Soul stage, everyone present combined would not be his match!

When Peak Master Yun Ruowei saw the person clearly, her expression instantly turned cold.

"Zhao Quanzhen!" she said in a cold voice, "What do you mean by forcibly barging into the Main Peak of Dan Peak like this?"

The middle-aged male cultivator frowned, a trace of anger flashing through his gloomy eyes.

"Peak Master Yun Ruowei, you have some nerve!" his voice was icy, "How dare you address the Old Ancestor directly by his name? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Sect rules?"

Peak Master Yun Ruowei let out a cold snort: "Zhao Quanzhen, you entered the Sect at the same time as this Sect master, you merely took advantage of forming your Nascent Soul first! You are not the Old Ancestor of Dan Peak, but merely the Old Ancestor of Fire Peak! Forcibly barging into Dan Peak like this is already a provocation. So what if I call your name?"

She stepped forward, yielding not an inch: "Could it be that you even dare to move against this Sect master? Do you want to challenge the Sect rules?"

Hearing this, Zhao Quanzhen's expression sank, and the anger in his eyes grew even more intense.

"Audacious!"

With a furious shout from him, the Aura of the Nascent Soul Stage crushed over like a physical substance!

Boom...

Everyone present, including Peak Master Yun Ruowei, had their figures stalled by the pressure, making breathing difficult!

Xiao Yuan only felt as if his chest had been smashed by a heavy hammer, and his face instantly turned pale!

This old thing is too tyrannical!

From Peak Master Yun Ruowei's words, he vaguely guessed the identity of the newcomer... the former peak master of Fire Peak, who successfully formed his Nascent Soul ten years ago and was now the Old Ancestor of Fire Peak!

Jade Maiden Palace had a total of six Nascent Souls; the one on Sect Master Peak was in the Late Nascent Soul Stage, and each of the other five peaks had one. The Old Ancestor of Dan Peak had passed away twenty years ago, and no one had succeeded them to this day!

No wonder this old thing dared to come over and bully people so arrogantly!

At this moment, the expressions of Peak Master Yun Ruowei and the seven women including Yun Qingwan were ugly to the extreme.

Their faces were also filled with humiliation. If it weren't for the fact that Dan Peak had no Nascent Soul Old Ancestor holding down the fort, how would Zhao Quanzhen have dared to come knocking so arrogantly!

Moreover, this person was of roughly the same generation as them, but now he was an Old Ancestor. Being bullied by him like this only made the humiliation in their hearts even thicker!

Amidst the seven women's anger, their Auras erupted, preparing to fight to the death... Dan Peak could be without a Nascent Soul Old Ancestor, but it could not be without backbone!

Watching their appearance of wanting to fight for their lives, a trace of disdain flashed through Zhao Quanzhen's eyes, but he did not dare to push them too far either.

After all, he was only in the Early Nascent Soul stage and could not cover the sky with one hand in the Sect.

"Humph."

He let out a cold snort and withdrew his Aura.

The bodies of Peak Master Yun Ruowei and the others relaxed slightly, but the vigilance in their eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

Zhao Quanzhen's gaze swept across the seven women and finally landed on Xiao Yuan.

His eyes instantly lit up!

That look was just like a starving wolf seeing a fat sheep!

The next second...

He moved!

The speed of the Nascent Soul Stage was so fast that no one could react in time!

Seeing this scene, Peak Master Yun Ruowei's expression changed drastically: "Zhao Quanzhen! How dare you!"

She obviously guessed the opponent's purpose for coming to Dan Peak; it was definitely targeted at the dan bell, and perhaps even to avenge Sun Yue.

After all, Sun Rui was an Elder of Fire Peak! Sun Yue was also a Disciple of Fire Peak!

Thinking of this, the seven women attacked simultaneously, wanting to stop him!

But Zhao Quanzhen waved his hand casually, and a terrifying Aura directly forced them to retreat several steps in succession!

Xiao Yuan's pupils contracted sharply as he urged his spiritual power to resist...

Suddenly, he discovered that he couldn't move!

An invisible force fixed him in place, unable to even lift a finger!

Zhao Quanzhen instantly arrived in front of Xiao Yuan, raising his hand to grab his wrist!

A Divine Sense burrowed into Xiao Yuan's body like a venomous snake!

Xiao Yuan's expression changed drastically!

This old thing was searching him! He was looking for the dan bell!

Panic surged in his heart, and he hurriedly urged the creation cauldron, wanting to conceal it.

But the opponent was a Nascent Soul powerhouse, and his Divine Sense was terrifyingly strong! Could he deceive it?

At the moment when he was feeling anxious...

Within his Dantian, the creation cauldron suddenly shook!

Then, it disappeared!

No, it didn't disappear. Xiao Yuan could clearly perceive that it was still there, right inside his Dantian. But under the perception of the Divine Sense, that place was completely empty!

Within his consciousness, the angry emotion of the Earth Fire Spirit was transmitted!

It was that little fellow! It didn't know what methods it used to actually make the creation cauldron "invisible"!

Xiao Yuan's heart relaxed.

The dan bell had always been hidden inside the Creation Cauldron Space, and since even the creation cauldron could no longer perceive it, the dan bell naturally couldn't be found even more!

Zhao Quanzhen's frown grew deeper and deeper.

His Divine Sense scanned Xiao Yuan's body over and over again, yet he discovered nothing.

There was no dan bell.

There were no exotic treasures.

There was only that unfathomably thick spiritual power and those eight strange Spiritual Roots.

"Nothing..." he muttered, his eyes filled with doubt, "Could it be that this deity guessed wrong?"

He looked at Xiao Yuan, light flickering in his eyes.

Within that light, there was scrutiny, doubt, and also...

Killing intent!

Xiao Yuan's eight Spiritual Roots caused a deep sense of dread to arise within him; if someone with such Prodigy Aptitude were allowed to grow, their future achievements would be immeasurable!

Since they had already offended each other, future troubles must be eliminated!

Xiao Yuan's heart tightened!

Although that killing intent flashed past and vanished, he had caught it!

This old thing wanted to kill him!

He secretly urged his spiritual power, his figure rapidly retreating backward, ready at any moment to execute the Blood Spirit Escape and flee...

Seeing this scene, Zhao Quanzhen was slightly stunned; it seemed he hadn't expected Xiao Yuan to be able to break free from his control.

However, he did not chase after him, merely wearing a trace of disdain at the corner of his mouth. Perhaps in his eyes, Xiao Yuan was just an ant, and wanting to execute him would only take a flick of the hand!

But... he was wary of the Sect rules and did not dare to strike for the moment!

"Zhao Quanzhen!"

A stern cry rang out!

Peak Master Yun Ruowei led the seven women to charge forward once again!

Blood stained the corners of each of their mouths, having been injured by Zhao Quanzhen's Aura just moments ago. But at this moment, there was no fear in the eyes of the seven women, only absolute resolution!

"How dare you touch the Disciples of Dan Peak!" Peak Master Yun Ruowei's voice was icy, "Even if this Sect master has to risk her life, she will perish together with you!"

Yun Qingwan blocked in front of Xiao Yuan, staring fixedly at Zhao Quanzhen: "If you want to touch my Disciple, kill me first!"
