239: Strong men from all races appeared, and the situation became tense!
Gu Fei and Soul Mie Sheng looked at each other, and an invisible pressure permeated the air.
However, at this moment, both Gu Fei and Soul Mie Sheng were Five-Star Dou Shengs, yet they tacitly only displayed the strength of a Four-Star Late Stage.
A moment later, both sides retracted their gazes, and the invisible clash ended.
"The people from the Gu Clan have indeed arrived!"
The two people beside Soul Mie Sheng frowned tightly.
"The Purification Lotus Demon Flame is no ordinary Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame; even our Hun Clan yearns for it, and the Gu Clan is naturally the same..."
Soul Mie Sheng slowly opened his mouth, emitting a hoarse voice.
"The two people from the Gu Clan this time are both Four-Star Dou Sheng cultivators. This time, our Hun Clan looks to be the weaker side..."
Hun Feng, who came with Soul Mie Sheng, looked at Gu Fei and the other person with a face full of apprehension.
He was the Young Clan Leader of the Hun Clan, but his cultivation was only at the Two-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage. Compared to a Prodigy like Gu Fei, their battle power difference was vast.
Coupled with the fact that Gu Nanhai was also an experienced Four-Star Dou Sheng, if a real fight broke out, he worried that his Hun Clan's side would be outmatched.
"Young Clan Leader, you don't need to worry too much. The Hall Master was already at the Four-Star Dou Sheng Peak many years ago. Dealing with Gu Nanhai and that young brat Gu Fei naturally won't be a problem!"
The last person among the three shook his head and said.
"That is natural..."
Hearing this, Hun Feng nodded dubiously and chuckled, "There is an agreement between our Ancient Race that powerhouses above Five-Star Dou Sheng cannot act freely. The Hall Master is just at this boundary, and among those of the same Rank, few can indeed defeat him."
"Those great powers, though not present, must still be watching here!"
Listening to the two's flattery, Soul Mie Sheng smiled faintly but raised his head, looking at the void space, as if someone was lurking in that empty place.
"When do we act?"
Hun Feng glanced around, knowing that the Hun Clan powerhouses might have other arrangements, and spoke up at this moment.
"Wait... wait for the Purification Lotus Demon Flame to destroy the Seal. This will consume a lot of its energy. When it is about to break through the air, we will act..."
Soul Mie Sheng crossed his rough hands, speaking with full confidence. "Young Clan Leader, that thing, the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, I'm afraid there are few in the world who can subdue it. As long as it doesn't fall into the hands of the Hun Clan this time, that would be for the best..."
Gu Nanhai's attitude towards Gu Fei had completely changed at this point. He no longer spoke with the tone of an Elder as before, but more like a subordinate reporting.
All of this was due to the change in Gu Fei's strength. The current Gu Fei was not only the Young Clan Leader of the Gu Clan but also a Five-Star Dou Sheng.
In the past, the Purification Lotus Demon Flame had also appeared, but in the end, it was not subdued.
The spatial Seal here was set by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint and was extremely miraculous.
Even if the Purification Lotus Demon Flame could destroy it for a short time, as soon as it slowed down slightly, the Seal would automatically absorb the energy of heaven and earth to repair itself, thereby continuing to Seal it.
What Gu Nanhai said was not wrong, but Gu Fei's goal was not just to prevent the Hun Clan from obtaining it.
On this trip, he was determined to get the Purification Lotus Demon Flame; no one could stop him.
"Elder Nanhai, don't you think it's a pity that no one has subdued the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame for so many years?"
As soon as Gu Fei said this, Gu Nanhai also understood Gu Fei's determination.
"If the Young Clan Leader wants to subdue the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, I, Gu Nanhai, will risk my old life to help the Young Clan Leader succeed!" Gu Nanhai sincerely said.
As the two talked, another wave of scorching gale, not emanating from the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, suddenly swept across this world.
Immediately, a crimson light appeared on the mountaintop. As the light dispersed, a group of people was revealed, and the leading Old Ancestor, with his fiery red hair, was quite eye-catching.
"Fire Cloud Old Ancestor, with this level of strength, to contend for the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, is a bit overestimating himself..."
Looking at the red-haired Old Ancestor, Gu Fei couldn't help but shake his head.
The Burning Flame Valley, although its strength ranked after those two sects, its power surpassed the two sects due to the presence of Fire Cloud Old Ancestor.
Such strength could accomplish great things in the Central Plains, but coming here to contend for the Purification Lotus Demon Flame was no different from cannon fodder.
"Brother Gu Fei, you came so early. Huo Zhi has missed you terribly!"
A sound of breaking air rang out, and then Huo Xuan and his group appeared not far from Gu Fei.
Hearing Huo Xuan's words, Gu Fei felt a bit helpless. This guy always had a lot of suggestive remarks.
"Huo Xuan!"
"What nonsense are you spouting again?"
Behind Huo Xuan, Huo Zhi, whose face was covered by a veil, shouted loudly.
"Uh..."
Huo Xuan smiled and offered no explanation.
Before, in the Heavenly Tomb, he had helped out with a few words and received encouragement from Huo Zhi afterward.
Now, in front of others, Huo Zhi started to act reserved again.
The Yan Clan's leader this time was a purple-robed Old Ancestor named Huo Yao, who had once visited the Ancient World and whose cultivation was also at the Four-Star Dou Sheng Rank.
Almost all Ancient Races, before completely falling out, needed to abide by the Ancient Race Pact established a thousand years ago.
"Young Master Gu Fei is indeed extraordinary. In just a few short years, he has actually reached the Four-Star Dou Sheng level..."
Huo Yao was an Old Ancestor powerhouse of the Yan Clan, but he greeted Gu Fei very politely at this moment.
One doesn't hit a smiling face, so Gu Fei also politely nodded in response to Elder Huo Yao.
"How enviable..."
Huo Xuan also clicked his tongue in wonder.
"Aren't you also an Advanced Half-Saint now!"
Gu Fei smiled slightly. This Huo Xuan's strength improvement was also decent.
Moreover, he had an additional Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame in his body.
Presumably, it was the Yan Clan's Eight Desolate Destruction Flame, ranked sixth on the strange fire ranking list.
This made even Gu Fei envious.
He had never obtained such a high-ranked Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame before.
Of course, in terms of flame power, Gu Fei's Fusion Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was already capable of surpassing the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, which was ranked fourth.
"Young Master Gu Fei, long time no see!"
Huo Zhi greeted Gu Fei with a shy expression, clearly still feeling awkward because of Huo Xuan's words, but Gu Fei remained calm.
"Now, let's quietly wait for the best time to enter the space, and then try to see if we can subdue the Purification Lotus Demon Flame..."
After some casual conversation, Gu Nanhai sighed deeply, his hands clasped behind his back.
He raised his head, his gaze fixed on the distorted sky in the distance.
Terrifying high temperatures continuously spread out from the ruptured space in waves.
The frequency of the milky-white light appearing also increased.
Later, the desert below gradually became viscous, and the sand grains actually started to melt.
As this desert gradually transformed into lava, the sounds of breaking wind in the surroundings also became more frequent, and more and more powerhouses were attracted by the anomaly here.
Therefore, in just half an hour, numerous figures appeared densely in this sky.
However, most of these figures stopped at a great distance from the broken space. Only the true powerhouses, like Gu Fei, Soul Mie Sheng, and others, dared to approach within a thousand feet of the broken space.
And in this waiting, the Lei Clan, Shi Clan, and Ling Clan, three of the Ancient Eight Clans, also arrived one after another.
The last Ancient Race powerhouses to appear were from the Ancient Medicine Clan. The three who came had all visited the Ancient World before: Yao Tian, Yao Wangui, and Yao Tian's younger sister, Yao Ling.
"That guy Yao Tian is quite lucky. The Medicine Clan fed him a precious pill that was almost a Grade 9 Profound Pill. His own strength is already at the One-Star Dou Sheng Middle Stage!"
As the three from the Medicine Clan appeared here, Huo Xuan couldn't help but click his tongue in envy and jealousy.
