184: Humble as a minion!

“As expected of the Prodigies from the various Ancient Races, even these young people make it impossible for me to discern their strength!”

On the deck, Wind Venerable’s gaze swept around, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

Xiao Yan, standing beside him, was like a mere subordinate, his eyes filled with apprehension.

After all, on this ship, any random person, even a Black Annihilation Army soldier, had cultivation far, far stronger than his, and Xiao Yan felt immense pressure here.

“Xiao Yan, don’t be so constrained!”

Xuan Kongzi, who was accompanying him, noticed Xiao Yan’s state and patted his shoulder.

Although Xiao Yan’s strength was lacking, as Yao Lao’s only disciple, Xuan Kongzi had taken great care of him throughout the journey.

“This trip, being able to witness the demeanor of the Prodigies from the major Ancient Races, can also be considered an eye-opener for you…” Xuan Kongzi continued, his words filled with the teachings of a Senior.

“Understood!”

“Senior is absolutely right; this trip has indeed been quite an eye-opener for me…”

Xiao Yan respectfully nodded in response.

“Those few over there are from the Stone Clan. Because of their Bloodline, their physical bodies are extremely terrifying, comparable to some of the top Demonic Beasts in the Demonic Beast World!”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan’s gaze followed the direction Xuan Kongzi pointed, looking towards the other side of the deck.

There, a group of people with grayish-white skin stood. On their foreheads, there was a giant stone clan tattoo, a clear symbol.

“The Yan Clan people all have a flame mark on their foreheads…”

“Over there, those should be people from the Medicine Clan!”

When Xuan Kongzi pointed at several young men and women on an adjacent shuttle airship, Xiao Yan paused.

Before coming, he had heard Yao Lao speak.

Yao Lao himself had come from that Ancient Race back then, but later, because his Bloodline Power was too thin, he was expelled by the Medicine Clan.

Therefore, upon seeing people from the Medicine Clan, Xiao Yan almost subconsciously showed disgust.

“Hmm?”

As Xiao Yan’s gaze fixed on them, the young people dressed in Alchemist robes over there seemed to sense something and their gazes swept over.

Xiao Yan’s gaze met that of one of the young men, and he instantly looked away.

Xiao Yan understood that with his current strength, he still couldn't avenge his teacher for what happened back then.

Everything still required patience!

This trip was to ask for help with his teacher’s revival, and he absolutely couldn't cause any other trouble.

“An ant dares to peek at us…” The Medicine Clan people turned away disdainfully.

Following that, Xiao Yan kept his head slightly bowed the entire time, until the warship suddenly vibrated violently, and he slowly raised his head.

At this moment, the ship’s speed slowed down, and in the distance, a lush mountain range appeared within sight.

“Haha, esteemed guests of the Gu Clan, please!”

Hearing the old voice resounding on the warship, many people politely responded.

Then they each flashed down, flying towards the cluster of buildings in the center of the mountain range.

That was where the Gu Clan received its guests.

Xiao Yan, on his side, also closely followed Xuan Kongzi and Wind Venerable, flying downwards.

“That guy… it seems to be!”

Just then, amidst the mountains, a Gu Clan youth wearing Black Annihilation Army armor showed a hint of doubt and recollection in his eyes.

“Xiao Yan?”

“He actually dares to come here?”

After thinking carefully for a moment, the youth finally remembered Xiao Yan’s identity.

Because back then, he was the one Gu Yao sent to kill Xiao Yan.

“Gu Li, are you saying that kid is Xiao Yan?”

Hearing this, another Gu Clan youth beside him said in surprise.

“Yes, Ling Quan Commander!”

“Unfortunately, a mysterious person intervened and rescued that kid back then!”

His subordinate replied seriously; he had personally attacked Xiao Yan back then, how could he not remember?

“He’s got a lot of guts, daring to come to my Ancient World. He’s really tired of living…”

Ling Quan licked his lips, and a murderous intent gradually filled his heart.

“Ling Quan Commander, are you going to attack Xiao Yan… Back then, Young Miss Xun'er was furious because of this matter!”

“Fortunately, Lord Gu Yao stood up for me and took all the blame, which spared me from punishment…”

“But later, Young Miss Xun'er also fell out with Lord Gu Yao because of this incident!”

Gu Li spoke with some worry.

Because in these years, Xun'er’s cultivation had progressed rapidly, already displaying exceptional talent second only to Lord Gu Fei, and her status was very high.

“Killing an ant like him, I’d be dirtying my hands!”

Hearing this, Ling Quan paused for a moment, then showed a disdainful expression and said coldly.

“Isn’t he coming to observe the ceremony? Then, let him make a fool of himself at the coming-of-age ceremony, in front of all the powerful people on the continent…”

As Ling Quan and Gu Li watched Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan seemed to sense something.

This sensation had nothing to do with cultivation, but was an intuitive feeling.

“Xiao Yan Zi, stop looking. That person is the one who came to the Jia Ma Empire to kill you back then!”

Just then, Yao Lao, who had been silent in Xiao Yan’s storage ring, spoke up to remind him.

Yao Lao also remembered Gu Li deeply. If he hadn't gone all out back then, Xiao Yan would have already turned into a pile of dust.

“Understood!”

Xiao Yan forcibly calmed down, not daring to look around anymore, and mechanically followed behind Xuan Kongzi and Wind Venerable.

“How did Xiao Yan come here?”

In the crowd, a black-clothed elder also noticed Xiao Yan.

This person was Ling Ying, the bodyguard who had previously protected Xun'er in the Northwest Continent.

Upon seeing Xiao Yan’s current cultivation and his timid appearance, Ling Ying unconsciously shook his head: “Young Miss’s future achievements, compared to his, are like the bright moon compared to the stars. I hope he understands!”

…In the evening, night covered the entire land, and the cool moonlight poured down from the sky, shrouding the entire Ancient Sacred Mountain Range in a faint silver veil.

In the center of the mountain range, clusters of palaces stood one after another, like ancient beasts under the moonlight, exuding traces of ancient Qi.

Most of these palaces were brightly lit at this moment. These few days were considered festive days for the Gu Clan, so many places were decorated with lanterns and filled with a festive atmosphere.

However, on a mountain peak far from these magnificent and ancient palaces, it was quite serene, without the hustle and bustle of the other side.

“Daddy, I heard that many people from other Ancient Races are coming to observe the coming-of-age ceremony this time. Will you take me to see them…”

“Yes, I’m so curious what people from other Ancient Races look like. Do the Stone Clan people really look like rocks?”

“Daddy, take me!”

“Please!”

On the mountain peak, the two little ones, Xian Le and Wushuang, looked at the distant lights, each hugging one of Gu Fei’s thighs and pouting.

Just then, the space in front of them rippled, and Zi Yan’s figure appeared.

After appearing, Zi Yan still held a spirit fruit in each hand, both with a bite taken out of them.
