Chapter 1254 Ancient Saint City, Shameless
The ancient world is located in the eastern region of Zhongzhou. Almost most of the forces in that area are considered vassals of the ancient clan.

Of course, most of the forces in the Eastern Region are basically only under the rule of the Ancient Clan in name only, and only a few of the top forces are truly qualified to have any involvement with the Ancient Clan.

The Ancient Clan is one of the two most powerful ancient imperial clans. It is said that the ancient emperor of the Ancient Clan is the closest Dou Emperor except for the ancient emperor Quetuoshe. Therefore, the bloodline of the Ancient Clan is still at its peak until now, without any signs of weakening.

……

This is a vast and endless grassland. The lush green fills the eyes and releases an extremely rich vitality.

In a corner of the grassland, countless huge stone pillars support a magnificent stone square. Above the square, the space appears distorted, with silver light flashing from time to time.

One after another, figures flashed out from it and then landed lightly on the square. This was a space wormhole square located outside the ancient holy city in the eastern region of Zhongzhou.

Looking eastward from the square, one can vaguely see the outline of a huge city at the end of the sight. That is the Ancient Holy City.

In the sky, streaks of light flickered. Every person who could fly through the air would be a second-rate master in Zhongzhou, or at least at the Dou Zong level.

Rays of light swept towards the distant city and finally stopped outside the ancient holy city.

The ancient city is built entirely of pale blue rocks. Perhaps due to the erosion of time, the city looks a little decayed. A special atmosphere seems to come from ancient times.

The entire Ancient Holy City was wrapped in a layer of slightly transparent light shield. The light shield seemed weak, but it gave everyone a soul-stirring pressure.

This special pressure caused the faces of many powerful people who came to this city for the first time to change, and many of them even had a look of awe on their faces.

It is said that this ancient city was built by the Dou Di powerful man from the ancient clan. The seemingly transparent light shield contains a trace of the power of the Dou Di.

In order to show respect for the Dou Di, no one is allowed to fly within a thousand feet radius of the Ancient Holy City. Forcing a leap will only result in even greater pressure.

Because of this kind of protection, the city can be said to be impregnable.

A trace of power stretches from ancient times to the present, the power of the Dou Emperor is so terrifying.

At the western gate of the Ancient Holy City, many figures gathered, waiting for the guards' verification. The Ancient Holy City was not open to the outside world, and entry was basically not allowed unless one was invited by the ancient clan.

Moreover, the procedures for entering the city are quite cumbersome, but due to the resounding reputation of the ancient clan, no one dares to act wildly here.

On both sides of the western city gate, nearly a hundred figures in black armor stood upright with spears in their hands. Their sharp and cold gazes kept sweeping around, and powerful auras emanated from their bodies.

These black-armored troops are the most elite Black Annihilation Army of the Ancient Clan. Each of them has awakened the ancient clan's imperial blood, which is why they have broken through to the level above Dou Wang at a young age.

"An invitation to Danta? How come only one of you came?"

Suddenly, there was a slight commotion at the west gate. A guy who looked like an officer of the Black Annihilation Army walked to the gate and stretched out his hand to take the black jade sticker for a closer inspection.

"Lingquan, if you don't want your face anymore, I can fulfill your wish and let you wash your face now."

Xu Xin's calm voice sounded at the city gate. The next moment, the Black Annihilation Army leader Lingquan, who was deliberately provoking trouble, fell to his knees with his limbs limp, his head drooping down, and his face was about to touch the ground. "Alas... The younger generation is rude, please don't mind it, Master Xu..."

Just when Lingquan's face was about to touch the ground, a helpless sigh suddenly sounded in this world. As the voice fell, a figure appeared in front of Xu Xin and bowed respectfully to him.

This was a somewhat hunched old figure, dressed in a white robe, and even his hair, beard, eyebrows, etc. were all snow-white. In those somewhat sunken eyes, there was not a trace of turbidity, but instead an infinite suction force like a black hole.

If an ordinary person were to look into his eyes, they would probably be drawn into it, unable to resist the oppressive feeling that comes from their nature.

"Greetings to Elder Tongxuan!"

As soon as this old man appeared, all the Black Annihilation Army soldiers around him who were preparing to help Lingquan stopped their actions and saluted him respectfully.

"The ancient tribe has no rules at all."

Xu Xin glanced at Elder Tongxuan. When his voice fell, Lingquan fell to the ground, his breath extremely weak.

“Elder, my, my fighting spirit, help me to get revenge, revenge… Team Black Annihilation, go, kill him for me…”

Ling Quan raised his head with difficulty and glared at Xu Xin with hatred. He asked Elder Tongxuan to avenge him and ordered his team to attack Xu Xin, like a madman who had lost all reason.

"Lingquan, you only have power but no heart. You are unworthy of your position and have angered the saint. You deserve this fate. Team Heiyan, take him away."

The elder Tongxuan glanced at Lingquan, sighed in his heart, then waved his sleeves and asked his men to take this shameful guy away.

The power of the strong men in the imperial clan mostly comes from their bloodline, which brings about many problems, such as lack of character and domineering behavior. Being able to raise one's cultivation to the upper limit of one's bloodline is already considered a superior qualification in the ancient clan. There are very few who can truly transcend the shackles of bloodline.

Because of this, the ancient clan particularly values ​​bloodlines, especially the top bloodlines. As for the superior bloodlines below the top bloodlines, although they will reluctantly take a look at them, those who are not central to them are basically not taken seriously.

Similar to Lingquan, his bloodline is considered to be top-notch, and he has achieved the level of Dou Zun by relying on his bloodline, but that is basically his limit.

For the real high-level members of the ancient clan, a Dou Zun who barely relies on his bloodline to be promoted is not of much value at all. Only those with ninth-grade bloodline and clan members with the potential to be promoted to Dou Sheng are truly valued.

In today's Douluo Continent, the Douluo Saint symbolizes the pinnacle existence in this world. Even super powers like the Ancient Clan must respect the strong ones in the Saint Realm. The real top forces compete with each other on the quality and quantity of the Douluo Saints.

One Douluo Saint is worth countless Douluos. Whoever possesses more Douluo Saints is the true pinnacle force.

Therefore, even if Lingquan was one of their own, he had offended a Dou Sheng who visited the ancient clan, so having all his Dou Qi dispersed was his due punishment.

Unless he is an ancestor of his lineage and there is a causal relationship involved, or there are some other reasons, no one will stand up for him.

After all, even the ancient imperial clan must respect the Fighting Saint.
