133: Soul Clan Exposed

Clad in brocade robes, Gu Yuan's aura was almost completely restrained. His middle-aged face showed a hint of fatigue. Behind him followed Gu Lie, the current second strongest expert of the Gu Clan, who, as the Black Annihilation King, also possessed the strength of an Early Stage Seven-Star Dou Sheng. At this moment, he had already locked onto Xiao Lei and the others.

Seeing the situation become somewhat tense, the three women behind Xiao Lei immediately released their auras, ready to strike.

The golden little beast on Xiao Lei's shoulder also seemed to sense the unusual atmosphere, instantly waking from its slumber. All of its Nine Profound Golden Lightning power surged forth, its aura formidable.

The strength of the four individuals and one Dragon Phoenix was immediately revealed to everyone.

“Two Early Stage Eight-Star Dou Shengs, one Middle Stage Seven-Star Dou Sheng, plus two Six-Star Dou Shengs!”

At this moment, everyone found it hard to remain calm. Such strength was already not inferior to the Yan Clan and the Lei Clan. As for the Medicine Clan and the Stone Clan, they were completely unqualified.

“How is this possible? When did the Fighting Qi Continent gain so many powerful experts?!”

Yao Wangui was horrified; his Four-Star Dou Sheng combat power seemed like a joke in front of everyone.

“Dragon Phoenix, Heaven Swallowing Python, Calamity Poison Body, Nine Profound Golden Lightning!”

After everyone clearly sensed the condition of the people beside Xiao Lei, their hearts jolted again. These were all extremely special Physiques or Bloodlines. It was considered lucky if even one such expert appeared every thousand years, yet now they were all gathered beside Xiao Lei.

“How can the Calamity Poison Body Cultivate to such a degree without exploding? Nine Profound Golden Lightning—hasn't no one been able to refine such a thing for a thousand years? And the Dragon Phoenix and Heaven Swallowing Python, these were existences from ancient times that could Cultivate to the Emperor Realm!”

So many special Physiques and Bloodlines immediately made everyone wonder if Xiao Lei also possessed some special Physique, allowing him to Cultivate to his current strength at such an abnormal speed.

However, after sensing for a long time, everyone only felt that the black flames rising from Xiao Lei's body were somewhat strange.

They contained the aura of many different flames, yet they all seemed somewhat different.

The Yan Clan, most familiar with different flames, only then detected something unusual: “Could it be that he also fused with different flames like the Clan Chief! And this aura is somewhat like the Eight Desolations Destruction Flame!”

Huo Yao exclaimed in shock. Even Yan Jin, an Eight-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage, dared not use the Eight Desolations Destruction Flame when attempting to fuse with different flames.

Meanwhile, Huo Zhi, behind Yan Jin, had glowing eyes, staring intently at the black flames on Xiao Lei's body, her heart filled with longing.

Huo Zhi was most interested in different flames, but she could clearly feel the fear of the Red Lotus Karmic Flame towards the black flames.

At the center of everyone's attention, facing the only two Peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng experts on the surface of the current world, Xiao Lei showed no fear, knowing full well that the other party would not attack.

“Gu Yuan, don’t put on a show of the Righteous Path. A thousand years ago, your Gu Clan was already like this. Any force with a bit of Legacy knows the true face of your Gu Clan. Why bother with such pretense? This matter started because of Gu Dao; you should manage your own people!”

Since Gu Yuan had already appeared, Xiao Lei did not intend to escalate the conflict. He was still waiting for the Gu Clan and the Hun Clan to fight to the death; how could he get involved himself and let the Hun Clan benefit from the sidelines?

After speaking, Xiao Lei signaled the three women beside him to retract their auras. Only Nine Profound Golden Lightning continued to stare intently at Gu Dao, baring its fangs.

It was foreseeable that if Gu Dao provoked again, Nine Profound Golden Lightning would rush out directly to teach him a lesson without Xiao Lei even needing to speak.

“This matter was indeed Elder Gu Dao's rudeness first. From today onwards, the Clan will naturally impose a punishment. Pavilion Master Xiao, please don't take it to heart.”

Gu Yuan still adhered to his policy of pacification, prioritizing the de-escalation of the conflict.

Xiao Lei retracted his aura and sat back on Purple Thunder Pavilion's floating island. As for the punishment Gu Yuan mentioned, he didn't care in the slightest. It would be a ghost if the Gu Clan could punish Gu Dao internally. At the appropriate time, he would naturally make the latter pay the price, without needing the Gu Clan to act.

With such a major incident occurring, Gu Yuan had been brought out. To maintain order for the upcoming coming-of-age ceremony, Gu Yuan immediately handed over responsibility to Gu Lie, then quickly left with Gu Dao.

Under normal circumstances, perhaps even if Gu Yuan spoke, Gu Dao would retort a few times, but today, he just wanted to leave quickly... Gu Yuan usually had to constantly confront Hun Tiandi, so he naturally wouldn't stay here.

Seeing this, Soul Demon's mouth curved slightly. In the short time Xiao Lei caused a commotion, and as Gu Yuan had to retract his Emperor Realm Soul that was tightly monitoring various parts of the Central Plains to watch the Hun Clan's movements, the Hun Clan's operation to destroy the Stone Clan had already begun.

Soul Demon couldn't help but feel a little grateful to Xiao Lei, but when he looked at Xiao Lei, the latter also looked back.

And with a smile even more intense than his own!

A bad premonition involuntarily rose in Soul Demon's heart, but he couldn't pinpoint why.

He then had to retract his gaze, gently rubbing the blood-colored long saber in his hand to alleviate the doubts in his heart.

Having given Gu Dao a warning, Xiao Lei finally began to get down to business, looking around and starting to copy various things. One must know that experts from various clans were seated here. Not to mention the different flames on people like Yao Wanhuo and Huo Yao, just the Dou Techniques of the various clans already made Xiao Lei extremely interested.

Xiao Lei's first target was naturally Xiao Xun'er, who possessed the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame. The Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame was extremely important for the improvement of his Underworld Emperor's Slash. It was foreseeable that with a complete Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, the latter's rank would undoubtedly rise to a very high level.

There was also Huo Zhi's Red Lotus Karmic Flame, Yao Wanhuo's Nine Nether Wind Flame, Yao Tian's Turtle Spirit Earth Flame, Huo Yao's Fiery Cloud Water Flame... At a certain moment, when Yao Wanhuo felt Xiao Lei's gaze fall upon him, Yao Wanhuo quickly took out an invitation card, then handed it to Xiao Lei, smiling as he invited Xiao Lei to attend the Medicine Clan's Medicine Ceremony a few years later.

“Some time ago, all parties in the Central Plains sensed the Nine-Rank Profound Pill refined by Pavilion Master Xiao. Such exquisite Alchemy can be said to be the pinnacle of the Alchemy world on the Fighting Qi Continent today. During the Medicine Clan's Medicine Ceremony, we hope that the Pavilion Master can come and add some glory to our ceremony!”

Seeing this Alchemist who fought for the Medicine Clan in the original work, Xiao Lei immediately copied his different flame and Alchemy.

He then chuckled happily, “If the opportunity is right, I will naturally come to experience the Medicine Clan's Alchemy.”

With Xiao Lei's current cultivation and foundation, copying everyone present was almost instantaneous and would not cause anyone any discomfort.

Just as the coming-of-age ceremony reached the point of carving the Seven-Colored Clan Mark for Gu Xun'er, the expressions of all the Imperial Clan members present changed. A secret technique that had been discontinued for many years was actually activated!

It brought a piece of information that shook the hearts of everyone present!

The Hun Clan attacked the Stone Clan; the Stone Clan members fought to the death and were almost completely annihilated, with only a few young Geniuses sent out of the Stone Realm!

“Soul Demon, don't run!”

Gu Lie roared, immediately making a move. The aura of an Eight-Star Dou Sheng permeated the air, its Saint power vast and mighty.

The other Imperial Clan members all attacked simultaneously in an instant...
