Chapter 1257: Ambush from all sides, unable to breathe (last night’s update)
"Young man, you are outstanding."

Gu Yuan stared at Xu Xin in front of him, and his voice became low.

"Xun'er is of divine bloodline, with top talent and aptitude. She is also supported by our ancient clan and works hard enough."

"You are about the same age as her, but you are able to surpass her in cultivation and become a saint. You must have many secrets hidden in you."

"Everyone has secrets. Chief Gu Yuan, don't you have your own secrets?"

In response to Gu Yuan's suggestive words, Xu Xin simply responded calmly.

"But the secret that can make people transcend into saints will attract many people."

As Gu Yuan spoke, the surrounding void became quiet, as if everything between heaven and earth had fallen into silence at this moment.

"Does this include Patriarch Gu Yuan?"

Xu Xin remained calm, plucking the strings of his zither as if he was about to play a new tune.

"What do you think if I say yes?"

Gu Yuan looked at the man playing the piano in front of him and nodded secretly in his heart. If his daughter liked the man in front of him, even if he was from an outsider, even if he had no imperial blood, even if he was a playboy, Gu Yuan, as the patriarch, would still think that this was a good marriage.

When big powers interact and marry, they value strength and actual interests more.

A strong man who can break through to the level of a Douluo Saint on his own at a young age still has unlimited possibilities even if he does not have imperial blood.

The last person who broke through to Dou Sheng at this age can probably be traced back to ancient times. As long as a young strong man who grew up like this does not die, he may climb to the top of the world and stand at his current height, or even go further.

Unfortunately, his daughter liked Xiao Yan. Although he was indeed a genius compared to ordinary people and most of the imperial family, if he could not become a Douluo Saint, how could he be worthy of his daughter who had divine bloodline.

"How? How?"

Xu Xin still responded calmly, but the sound of his piano changed, with hints of war and iron cavalry, which was heart-wrenching and seemed to contain a mystery.

Gu Yuan listened attentively, and felt that there was a hidden hint, as if it was being suppressed layer by layer, just waiting for the final explosion.

At dawn, thunder rumbled, and in the distant sky, there seemed to be a large, thick, dark cloud slowly approaching the Ancient Sacred Mountains.

That was the warship used by the Ancient Clan to pick up people. Xu Xin took the VIP channel and arrived at the Ancient Saint Mountains alone. The others waited for two or three days, and when all the people were gathered, they were sent here together by the Ancient Clan today.

More than a dozen majestic warships flew across the sky, with dark clouds surrounding the warships. From a distance, it looked as if the warships were riding on the dark clouds and carrying thunder. It was so majestic and spectacular.

This is a space shuttle that has been passed down from ancient times. It can travel through space freely, and its speed is even faster than that of a peak Dou Zun.

There was a constant rumbling of thunder, and dark clouds were coming with thunder all over the sky. Faintly, one could see many heads gathering around the edge of the warship, all of them were guests who came to participate in the ancient tribe's coming-of-age ceremony.

There are other imperial clans such as the Soul Clan, Medicine Clan, Stone Clan, Flame Clan, Thunder Clan, as well as invited foreign forces such as the Xingyun Pavilion, Sound Valley, and Tianming Sect.

Most of the visitors from various forces are powerful people above the level of Dou Zun. Without the cultivation of Dou Zun, they are not qualified to come and watch the ceremony.

"Xun'er..."

At the edge of a certain warship, Xiao Yan and Yao Chen stood side by side, both looking down at the Ancient Sacred Mountains in the distance. Across the mountains and rivers, the gazes of this man and woman met in the void, faintly sparking a spark of longing.

Just when Xiao Yan was eager to see Gu Xun'er, he suddenly heard the sound of a piano and his brows frowned slightly.

Gu Yuan, Gu Xun'er, Yao Chen, and even more people had never heard this piece of music, but they just felt that it had a deep meaning. But Xiao Yan had an impression of it. It was in his previous life, when he occasionally heard a fragment of it. It seemed to be... House of Flying Daggers, and it was the climax. He had heard it in his previous life, so he was deeply impressed.

Could it really be a fellow villager?

Before Xiao Yan had time to think, a strong wind suddenly blew in his face, and something unexpected happened on this shuttle boat.

Several black-robed figures rushed towards Xiao Yan's position at the same time. The vicious fighting spirit that erupted instantly caught Xiao Yan and the others off guard. If Yao Chen had not acted in time, Xiao Yan, who was not strong enough, might have been killed directly.

"People from the Soul Palace?"

Xiao Yan's face darkened slightly, his eyes swept over the three people carefully, a familiar feeling quietly surged into his heart, making his face instantly grim, and then he was confused again, wasn't it said that the Soul Palace had been destroyed, how come these guys suddenly appeared?

"Compared to this name, I still prefer to hear you call me the Soul Clan."

Several men in black robes laughed, but there was an undisguised sinister meaning in their laughter.

"Guys from the Soul Clan, you are so reckless here, are you trying to challenge the Ancient Clan?"

Yao Chen protected Xiao Yan behind him, his face was cold, he stared at the three people with grim eyes, and the fighting spirit in his body began to circulate rapidly.

He naturally understood the Soul Clan and was worried that they had some conspiracy, so even though they had higher cultivation levels, he hoped that the people of the Ancient Clan would take action to suppress these guys.

"Hun Ya, Hun Li, you guys, do you want to die?!"

A deep shout was heard, and a large number of Black Annihilation Army quickly surrounded these people. The young man in the lead was wearing similar clothes to Lingquan, and he was probably the leader of the Black Annihilation Army of the ancient clan.

"Gu Zhen, the commander-in-chief of the Ancient Clan's Black Annihilation Army, do you think you are qualified to talk to me? It would be better if it were one of your four great commanders."

"Your name is Xiao Yan, right? Remember, if you go against my Soul Clan, you will surely die."

The black-robed leader smiled faintly and raised his head slightly. Under the black cloak, a pale and thin young face was revealed.

The space suddenly rippled, and a pitch-black chain filled with a chilling chill rushed out from the void like a poisonous snake.

At the end of the pitch-black chain was the figure of Hun Ya. He opened his mouth with a sneer, and a giant pitch-black dragon burst out of his mouth, with a piercing and shrill dragon roar, breaking through the space and rushing towards Xiao Yan fiercely.

The pitch-black dragon was actually made up of many souls entangled together. The sound of the dragon's miserable roar was actually the result of many miserable screams gathered together, which was hurtful to the soul.

Xiao Yan was suddenly attacked, and even with Yao Lao's protection, he was still ambushed. He felt dizzy and his head was as big as a bucket. He couldn't breathe, as if someone was kneeling on his back and he was almost suffocating.

"What a despicable trick!"

Seeing the situation of his beloved disciple, Yao Chen naturally became furious and attacked. However, just as he cast the flame, an extremely fierce and sharp gust of wind suddenly came from behind him. He knew without thinking that it was other people from the ancient clan. He didn't know what had happened to them that they dared to attack here.

"Black Annihilation Squad, kill the Soul Clan."

Upon seeing this situation, Gu Zhen, the commander-in-chief of the Black Annihilation Army of the Ancient Clan, naturally took decisive action and ordered his men to attack. However, his strength was not enough, barely a Seven-Star Dou Zun, and he was blocked by a guard accompanying Hun Ya. The Ancient Clan never thought that someone would be stupid enough to kill on this warship, and they were unable to react in time.

"Humph!"

Just as Xiao Yan was about to fall into danger, suddenly a cold snort came from the depths of the Ancient Sacred Mountains, and the space instantly solidified.
