Battle Through the Heavens: He marries Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate the marriage!

Chapter 117 The Yan Clan Delegation Arrives, and the Young Girl Huo Zhi!

"It's been three months! Brother Gu Fei's seclusion this time has really been a long time!"

Inside the bamboo building, Little Fairy Doctor, Qinglin, and the others were all worried about Gu Fei.

Gu Fei had said he needed to go into seclusion to cultivate in order to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

Subduing a strange fire is inherently extremely dangerous, and with Gu Fei gone for so long without returning, they were worried that something might have happened to him during the subduing process.

"Don't worry, dealing with a mere Three Thousand Burning Flames is a piece of cake for Brother Gu Fei, isn't it?"

"He must have received some kind of divine intervention, which is why he's so slow."

Seeing Little Fairy Doctor's worried expression, Zi Yan comforted her.

Then, she stretched out her own hand, and in her palm was a dragon seal that was also shining with golden light.

Her dragon seal was connected to Gu Fei's dragon seal. Based on this dragon seal, she could know Gu Fei's physical condition at any time. Judging from the golden light shining from the dragon seal, Gu Fei did not seem to be in danger.

"I hope so!" Little Fairy Doctor clasped her hands together in front of her chest and silently prayed for Gu Fei.

Just then, a series of fluctuations suddenly came from the space, and Zi Yan suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with light.

The place where the space fluctuated was exactly where Gu Fei appeared.

"You're finally back! I suffered so much while you were gone, I even ran out of medicine... Little Fairy Doctor was so worried about you."

Upon hearing Zi Yan's words, Little Fairy Doctor immediately opened her eyes and, as she wished, saw the person she had been longing for.

"I'm sorry to have worried you all."

Gu Fei walked to Little Fairy Doctor's side, gently hugged her, and then patted Zi Yan's little head.

"To express my apology, how about I make you some more pills?"

Upon hearing Gu Fei's words, Zi Yan showed a satisfied expression and pulled Qing Lin to go play elsewhere.

"Why did it take so long?" Little Fairy Doctor looked at Gu Fei with concern, but Gu Fei didn't seem to be in any trouble.

"The Three Thousand Burning Flames are more powerful than I imagined. Although I successfully subdued them, I encountered some problems during the absorption process."

"Absorbing the raging energy of the strange fire must be done with extreme care, otherwise one may very well play with fire and get burned. Fortunately, hard work pays off, and it has brought me considerable benefits."

After Gu Fei finished speaking, he slightly released his battle qi. Little Fairy Doctor felt the powerful battle qi and knew that he was much stronger than before, but she didn't know what level he had reached.

"Four-star Dou Zun! Sometimes I really envy geniuses like you."

An aged voice rang out behind Little Fairy Doctor; the newcomer was none other than Venerable Heavenly Fire.

Gu Fei looked at Venerable Tianhuo and found that his strength had reached the level of a six-star Dou Zun. It was clear that he had taken the eighth-grade pill that Gu Fei had given him and absorbed it completely.

"Congratulations on regaining your strength, Senior Yao."

Gu Fei offered his congratulations to Venerable Tianhuo.

Venerable Tianhuo said with a wry smile, "I have cultivated for countless years and am only a six-star Dou Zun. You are so young and already a four-star. It makes me feel ashamed..."

During these three months, not only did Venerable Heavenly Fire recover his strength, but Little Fairy Doctor and the others also made progress in their cultivation.

After getting used to the new strange fire, Gu Fei directly challenged the fifth commander of the Black Annihilation Army.

On that day, Gu Fei, with his four-star Dou Zun cultivation, defeated a six-star Dou Zun, astonishing everyone and becoming the new fifth commander of the Black Annihilation Army.

……

"Is this the Ancient Realm?"

At the edge of the ancient realm, a rift appeared out of thin air, and four figures entered through the rift, descending into the ancient realm.

"The energy of heaven and earth here is even more concentrated than in our Flame Realm. The ancient clans' foundation is indeed much deeper than ours."

An old man couldn't help but sigh.

"I actually find the energy of the Flame Realm more comfortable."

A clear, crisp female voice rang out; the speaker was a young girl.

The girl appeared to be in her teens, with long, fiery red hair that accentuated her graceful figure. Her stunningly beautiful face carried a hint of coldness, and a flame mark adorned her forehead.

These people all come from the Yan Clan, one of the eight ancient clans.

This time, apart from the girl in red, the other three were all at the Dou Sheng level and were elders of the Yan Clan.

"Huo Zhi, we are guests. This is not our ancient realm. Please speak more politely," an elder reminded the girl.

The girl opened her mouth as if to say something more, when several figures suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Welcome to the Yan Clan delegation to my ancient realm! Elder Huoyao, it's been a long time!"

Several elders from the ancient clans, including Gu Nanhai, appeared. They had been waiting there after learning that the Yan clan envoy was coming.

"Haha, so it's Elder Gu Nanhai. Greetings."

The Flame Clan elder, known as Fire Spirit, responded.

"Please enter the ancient realm, everyone. I've come to welcome you and cleanse yourselves of the dust of your journey."

Gu Nanhai gestured for them to enter, leading the Yan Clan elders into the depths of the ancient realm.

There is a grand hall here specifically for receiving guests, and several elders are waiting inside.

After Gu Nanhai invited the Yan Clan members to take their seats, the Gu Clan members also sat down.

The food that had been prepared in advance was served at this moment. Although they no longer needed to eat, they still needed to observe proper etiquette.

Huo Zhi sat at the end of the Yan Clan's seat, his gaze constantly sweeping over the ancient clan members present.

She specifically looked at people who were around her age or only a few years older. After scanning the room, her already cold demeanor became even more disdainful.

There were many young people from the ancient tribe present, but none of them could earn her a second glance.

"Is this what the youth of the ancient tribes are like? Nothing special... I hope you're not among them."

Huo Zhi thought to herself, then looked away.

During the banquet, after some pleasantries, Gu Nanhai spoke up: "Elders of the Yan Clan, what brings you here from afar?"

Upon hearing this, the elders of the Yan Clan exchanged glances, and one of them spoke up, "Hehe, we have indeed come here on a matter of business..."

"Elder Huoyao, please speak freely."

Ancient South China Sea Passage.

"It is said that your ancient clan's prodigy, Gu Fei, has already divorced Miss Xun'er. Is this true or not?"

Gu Nanhai's smiling expression froze upon hearing the words of the Yan Clan elder.

It is said that family scandals should not be aired in public, but now this family scandal has already spread to the Yan tribe.

"It's just a farce between two young people. We've both lived countless years; do we really need to be curious about such things?"

Gu Nanhai did not give a direct answer.

But the Flame Clan elder did not back down, and said directly, "Please speak frankly, Elder Huoyao."

Seeing that he couldn't avoid the question, Gu Nanhai had no choice but to say, "It is true...that such a thing happened."

Seeing this, the Yan Clan elder smiled slightly and said, "Since Gu Fei and Miss Xun'er have already divorced, why not arrange another marriage for Young Master Gu Fei..."

Their purpose in coming here was to establish a marriage alliance with the ancient clan, wanting to marry the young girl Huo Zhi to Gu Fei. Huo Zhi was a prodigy of the ancient clan.
