198: The Heavenly Tomb is opened, the ancient demon's killing intent!

"Xun'er..."

At this moment, Xiao Yan felt as if he had lost something very important.

The surrounding air seemed to have stilled.

Xiao Yan could clearly hear his own pounding heartbeat.

"Sigh..."

"Xiao Yan, let's go!"

After a long while, Ling Ying walked over, patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, and gestured for him to leave.

Xiao Yan, looking distraught, walked down Xun'er's mountain peak and returned to his residence... On the third day, as the first ray of morning light spilled from the horizon, an unusual atmosphere began to permeate the Ancient Sacred Mountain Range.

"Today is the day the Heavenly Tomb opens. Unfortunately, only those from your Ancient Race are qualified to enter..."

Standing in front of the bamboo house, Xiao Yi Xian meticulously tidied Gu Fei's clothes.

Caier, with the two little ones, Wushuang and Xian Le, watched Gu Fei tenderly from the side.

After Xiao Yi Xian finished tidying Gu Fei's clothes, the group stood on Lion King's back.

"Brother Gu Fei, when you come out of the Heavenly Tomb, you must accompany me to Dragon Island..."

Once on Lion King's back, Zi Yan suddenly leaned close to Gu Fei, their Faces less than a foot apart, close enough to feel each other's breath.

"Alright, I promise you!"

"After coming out of the Heavenly Tomb, I'll accompany you to Ancient Dragon Island so you can become the Empress sooner!"

Gu Fei said with a smile. He had indeed delayed this matter for many years, and now, Zi Yan already showed signs of breaking through to a Five Star Dou Saint.

Returning to Dragon Island would be much safer.

"No more lying!"

Zi Yan only moved her Face away from Gu Fei after getting her answer.

Next, Lion King flapped its wings and flew towards the eastern part of the Ancient Sacred Mountain Range.

The opening location of the Heavenly Tomb was deep within the Ancient Sacred Mountain Range, a place generally considered a Gu Clan Forbidden Ground, where entry was usually not permitted.

However, today, this Forbidden Ground saw many visitors, including people from various Ancient Race and some major powers from the Central Plains.

On one of the mountain peaks, a red-clad woman with a veil stared intently in that direction after Gu Fei arrived... "Brother Gu Fei, if we enter the Heavenly Tomb separately, we'll be randomly teleported. Why don't we enter together later!" Xun'er immediately came to Gu Fei's side when she saw him, her Face full of smiles.

However, Gu Fei completely ignored Xun'er's invitation.

"Brother Gu Fei, the Heavenly Tomb is so dangerous. If I enter alone, something unexpected might happen. Let's go in together; just consider it protecting a fellow clansman!"

Seeing that Gu Fei ignored her, Xun'er changed to a coquettish tone. Her delicate and beautiful appearance would likely make most people's hearts flutter and agree.

This scene left Caier and Xiao Yi Xian, who were beside Gu Fei, speechless.

They secretly sighed at Xun'er's truly strong mental fortitude.

"Haha, aren't you too shameless, woman!"

Zi Yan, on the other hand, laughed without any reservation.

Xun'er's coquettish behavior made Gu Fei frown. He disregarded Xun'er's Face and said indifferently, "Since you're so afraid of danger, why not give this Opportunity for tempering to others? I think Gu Zhen, Great Commander really needs this kind of Opportunity!"

"Brother Gu Fei..."

Xun'er looked helpless. She hadn't expected Gu Fei to advise her against participating in the Heavenly Tomb trial.

Just then, Gu Fei noticed the world trembling violently. A vast, ancient aura slowly emanated from the void space.

Under this ancient aura, a trace of reverence surged in the depths of everyone's Soul present!

"The Heavenly Tomb is about to open..."

Gu Fei murmured softly, looking at the sky that had suddenly darkened.

No sooner had he spoken than the void space erupted with an earth-shattering roar, and then a thousand-zhang-long spatial rift spread directly across the sky.

At the center of that spatial rift, a silver light gradually emerged, finally transforming into a hundred-zhang-large spatial gate, and that vast, ancient aura was precisely emanating from within it.

"Everyone, you should know the rules for entering the Heavenly Tomb!"

"Each clan has two slots, and no one else is allowed to enter!"

Gu Nanhai's figure appeared in the sky.

He surveyed the figures from various clans around him and said indifferently.

Everyone nodded slightly.

The rules for entering the Heavenly Tomb had always been this way; each clan's two slots had continued to this day... "Since that's the case, then my Xiao Clan should also have a slot to enter the Heavenly Tomb!"

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out, surprising everyone present.

The speaker was none other than Xiao Yan.

"This kid is so bold!"

"The current Xiao Clan, how can it still be qualified to have a slot to enter the Heavenly Tomb!"

"Alas, that's not right. Since the Xiao Clan is no longer worthy of a slot, why does the Gu Clan still occupy the Xiao Clan's slots, entering two more people than our several clans?"

For a time, everyone discussed animatedly, and a young man from the Hun Clan even fanned the flames.

He was delighted by anything that could harm the Gu Clan's reputation.

"Senior, that day you promised to fulfill any request I made!"

"Now, I just want to reclaim a Heavenly Tomb slot that belongs to my Xiao Clan!"

Under everyone's gaze, Xiao Yan directly went to mid-air to speak with Gu Nanhai.

"Are you sure you want to make this request?"

In the sky, Gu Nanhai's Face was dark, and his voice carried the pressure of a powerful individual.

"Xiao Yan, how dare he? Doesn't he look at what kind of occasion this is? Is he tired of living?"

At this moment, Xun'er was also nearby. She looked at Xiao Yan's actions and was very angry.

The Xiao Clan had fallen to such a state; how could it still be qualified to touch upon such an Opportunity?

"I'm sure!"

"Could it be that Gu Clan Elder is someone who goes back on his word?"

Facing the pressure exerted by Gu Nanhai, Xiao Yan bravely straightened his back and said firmly.

He firmly believed that Gu Clan Elder, out of Face, would never attack him in front of so many people.

"Xiao Yan, you dare to slander my Gu Clan Elder, I think you're courting death!"

The next moment, a cold killing intent enveloped Xiao Yan, making his Face turn pale.

Under everyone's gaze, a man with black and white hair shot into the sky.

The person was Gu Yao!

The reason he was so angry was that the four slots for the Gu Clan this time were Gu Fei, Xun'er, Gu Qingyang, and himself.

Gu Yao couldn't compare to the first three.

If Xiao Yan reclaimed a slot belonging to the Xiao Clan, then Gu Yao would automatically be disqualified from entering the Heavenly Tomb.

A mere ant dares to contend for an Opportunity with him, a top Gu Clan Genius; how could he not be angry?
