158: Zi Yan: From now on, I will protect you!

As Zi Yan's words fell, the powerful aura once again spread, bringing terrifying pressure to everyone present.

Her goal was to deter annoying people who dared to come here to trouble Gu Fei.

"Wings of the Heavenly Phoenix, body of a giant Dragon! This is the Bloodline of the ancient Dragon Phoenix!"

"My Ancient Dragon Clan is about to rise!"

Zhu Li was in tears, incredibly excited, and even knelt down directly. Lion King also instinctively knelt due to his Demonic Beast Bloodline.

The ancient Dragon Phoenix was the absolute Supreme among Demonic Beasts. In ancient times, as long as it didn't die young, it would definitely become a Nine-Star Dou Sheng in the future.

Even the ancient Heavenly Phoenix could not withstand this Bloodline suppression and had to bow its head.

"She... wasn't she the little girl who was with Gu Fei before? How did she suddenly become so strong?"

Xun'er was incredibly shocked when she saw Zi Yan appear in the sky from a distance.

Xun'er had a deep memory of this lively and cute little girl beside Gu Fei.

She had even fought with Zi Yan before and was surprised by Zi Yan's great strength.

However, she remembered that before her seclusion, Zi Yan was only a Dou Huang. How could she have become a Dou Sheng in just over a year?

"Judging by her aura, she shouldn't be from the Gu Clan... How can she be so strong?"

"I think she's even younger than Gu Fei, but she's already a Dou Sheng!"

Everyone watching was amazed, astounded by Zi Yan's strength.

The newly promoted Dou Sheng's aura permeated the Ancient World. Gu Yuan and Gu Lie had long sensed this terrifying aura and looked towards this place.

"Although I knew this little girl would have a great Opportunity, I didn't expect her to be so strong, directly leaping to Dou Sheng!"

In the distance, Gu Fei's grandfather, Gu Lie, also secretly clicked his tongue, marveling at Zi Yan's Opportunity.

"This effect is probably unmatched even by a Ninth-Grade Medicinal Pill!"

Beside him, Gu Yuan smiled helplessly.

Although a Ninth-Grade Medicinal Pill was powerful, it couldn't make a Dou Zong directly ascend to Dou Sheng. Such an Opportunity was hard to find in the world.

However, this Opportunity, unique to the Demonic Beast Clan, was something they couldn't envy... "Kid, is that you?"

Zi Yan's gaze fell on Lei Dong, who was leading the Lei Clan disciples. Lei Dong was clearly the leader of this group.

When Zi Yan looked directly at him, Lei Dong felt all the hairs on his body stand on end.

The power of lightning on his body was suppressed back into his body, too afraid to reappear.

Lei Dong had only seen such terrifying power on the angry Lei Clan Elder.

The arrogant demeanor Lei Dong had when he first arrived had completely vanished.

The next moment, Lei Dong's face showed an apology as he bowed to Zi Yan, saying, "Senior, Junior came here to spar with Brother Gu Fei. I didn't expect to disturb you. Please forgive me."

Lei Dong was arrogant, but not foolish.

If he dared to provoke Zi Yan now, Zi Yan would definitely give him a good beating.

Moreover, even if he was beaten, the Elders of his Clan would not intervene.

"Big Brother Gu Fei is not in the mood to spar with you. Hurry up and scram!"

After Zi Yan finished speaking, she waved her jade hand, and an invisible force swept across. Lei Dong and the others were directly knocked out of the sky, all of them looking very disheveled.

Lei Dong, who had gotten up, had an ugly expression, but he didn't say anything more. He turned and quickly left with a few Lei Clan disciples.

"It's a good thing for Lei Dong to suffer a loss this time; it will motivate him more."

"Yes, after such a stimulus, he will only work harder."

As early as Zi Yan's emergence from seclusion, the Lei Clan Elders had noticed.

Worried about any danger to Lei Dong, they immediately rushed to the scene and witnessed everything that had just happened.

Setting aside status, with Zi Yan's current Cultivation, these Lei Clan Elders had to treat her as an equal, and some Elders were even weaker than her.

They found it inconvenient to intervene in a dispute between Juniors, so they could only let Lei Dong learn a lesson.

Seeing that all the people gathered on the mountain peak had left, Zi Yan then reined in her Dou Qi. The celestial phenomenon immediately subsided, and she flew down in front of Gu Fei, Xiao Yi Xian, and the others.

She had acted so forcefully to drive everyone away for Gu Fei's sake.

Gu Fei had expended a lot of energy refining the dragon phoenix origin fruit for her and had not fully recovered yet.

Therefore, she didn't want anyone to disturb Gu Fei.

Zi Yan looked at Gu Fei in front of her, a proud expression on her face. For this, she even deliberately released some of her powerful aura again and said proudly, "Big Brother Gu Fei, my strength is stronger than yours now, oh. From now on, it's my turn to protect you!"

After Zi Yan finished speaking, she waved her small fists, and the demeanor of the 'big sister' from Jia Nan Academy reappeared.

At this moment, Zi Yan had an adult face and an amazing figure. Although her face was similar to her previous one, her temperament had changed greatly. When Gu Fei heard Zi Yan's sincere words, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved into a smile.

"Alright!"

Gu Fei readily agreed, and Zi Yan was also very happy.

"Zi Yan's promotion speed is too terrifying!"

Caier, Xiao Yi Xian, and the others all came to Zi Yan's side.

They had thought Zi Yan would improve a lot, but they never imagined that Zi Yan would directly advance to Dou Sheng. That Realm was still very far off for even Gu Fei.

It was no exaggeration to say she had reached the heavens in a single bound.

In the distance on the mountain peak, Xun'er looked at Gu Fei's Bamboo House with an unwilling gaze, her heart filled with complex emotions.

In terms of talent, she didn't think highly of Lei Dong, believing he couldn't compare to Gu Fei.

But Lei Dong was, after all, a few years older than Gu Fei and had Cultivated for a few more years, so at this stage, Lei Dong was indeed much stronger than Gu Fei.

She had originally hoped that Lei Dong's arrival this time would publicly defeat Gu Fei and curb his arrogance, but she never expected Zi Yan to appear out of nowhere, even allowing Gu Fei to steal the limelight.

Because the Dou Sheng expert, whom everyone revered, was as obedient as a little sister in front of Gu Fei.

Under this strong contrast, the sense of superiority she had previously felt from being pursued by a high-quality youth like Lei Dong completely vanished.

In terms of quality, Zi Yan completely surpassed Lei Dong.

Not only was her strength greater than Lei Dong's, but her talent was also much stronger! After all, Zi Yan looked much younger than Gu Fei!

"Creak!"

A crisp sound suddenly came from behind everyone. The door of the Bamboo House opened, and Xian Le came out of the Bamboo House.

"Daddy, I just felt a very strong power. What happened?"

Xian Le walked out, and Caier removed the previous Restriction.

The terrifying power of Zi Yan, a Dou Sheng, was clearly not something Caier's Restriction could block.

Xian Le quickly ran to Gu Fei's side. Gu Fei picked her up and looked at Zi Yan.

"It's your Sister Zi Yan whose strength has broken through. She is very powerful now, even stronger than Daddy. From now on, your Sister Zi Yan will protect you."

"Sister Zi Yan?"

Xian Le looked at Zi Yan suspiciously, comparing her to the image in her memory for a long time before finally confirming that it was indeed Zi Yan.

"Daddy, is this really Sister Zi Yan? How did she grow so fast?"

"I want to grow up fast too! Can Sister Zi Yan teach me?"

Xian Le's childish voice sounded.

"Why do you want to grow up so much?"

Zi Yan was amused by Xian Le.

"When I grow up, I can protect Daddy like Sister Zi Yan!"

Xian Le had a hopeful expression.

"Daddy doesn't need your protection. I just hope you grow up happily!"
