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

Chapter 209 Zi Yan: Your Emperor is Back!

"Ancient race, you are very good, very good indeed!"

The remaining Soul Clan elder, after uttering a few words of extreme resentment, said, "Very well."

He silently took away the corpses of Hunya, Hunli, and the three people in the Soul Box and left.

"It seems the Soul Clan is definitely not going to let this go this time!"

"This matter could have been a minor or major issue at first, but unfortunately, after this commotion, it's become a big deal, and it won't be easy to resolve..."

The other ancient races discussed among themselves, speculating whether the Soul Race and the Ancient Race would break out into a great war because of this.

"Young Master Gu Fei must have some purpose in doing this..."

Huo Zhi was curious. Gu Fei clearly had a better way of handling things, but he deliberately acted so forcefully, provoking conflict between the two races.

This was his decision alone.

Or does it represent the entire ancient tribe?

Gu Fei ignored the surrounding noises, cupped his hands in greeting to Gu Nanhai, and then landed next to Little Fairy Doctor.

"Father!"

"Father!"

The two children immediately ran to Gu Fei, each grabbing one of his hands. They had missed their father terribly after not seeing him for half a year.

"Let's go home!"

Gu Fei, holding the two children's hands, walked towards the mountain peak with Little Fairy Doctor, Cai'er, Zi Yan, Qing Lin, and others, completely ignoring what had just happened.

"Xianle, Wushuang, I'm going back to the Spirit Realm soon. I'll come visit you again when I have time!"

On the way back, Lingxi, a little girl from the Spirit Clan, came over to say goodbye to the two little ones.

This time, she stayed in the ancient realm for a full six months, and formed a deep friendship with the two little ones, Xianle and Wushuang.

"Sister Lingxi, are you leaving already!"

"Could we stay a little longer?"

Both Xianle and Wushuang were somewhat reluctant to part with her.

They both realized that if they parted ways this time, the next time they met might be several years, or even ten or twenty years later.

"Xi'er, let's go!"

On the other side, the beautiful woman from the Spirit Clan came over and urged Lingxi to leave.

"Gentlemen, why not let Lingxi stay in the ancient clan for a few years? I can accept her as a disciple on a nominal basis!"

Gu Fei suddenly spoke up at this moment.

"Is this... appropriate...?"

Hearing Gu Fei's words, the beautiful woman's face lit up with joy. The strength that Gu Fei had just displayed was almost at the level of a two-star Dou Sheng, and his future potential was limitless. He might very well reach the pinnacle of the world.

Moreover, Gu Fei is also a high-level alchemist, so it would be great if you became his disciple.

The resources available there are far better than those available to Lingxi if she stayed in the Spirit Realm.

"Yay!"

"Daddy is so good!"

The two little ones were overjoyed.

They pulled Lingxi, trying to get her to agree.

Lingxi was also very happy, but she still looked at the beautiful woman.

"Xi'er, since Young Master Gu Fei has spoken, why don't you stay in the Ancient Realm for a few years? We'll come and pick you up whenever you want to come back!" The beautiful woman nodded with a smile.

"Um!"

"Lingxi greets Master!"

The next moment, Lingxi bowed deeply to Gu Fei.

"good!"

Gu Fei smiled and then took out a bottle of pills as a gift for his disciple.

Next, the group returned to the mountain where Gu Fei was.

It's been more than half a year since we last met, and we all have a lot to say to each other.

……

Meanwhile, deep within the ancient realm, in a grand hall, several elders of the ancient clans gathered.

"Elder of the South Sea, this time Gu Fei has certainly given the Soul Clan a severe slap in the face?"

"I reckon the Soul Clan will be coming to demand an explanation soon!"

The elders were discussing what had just happened, but no one blamed Gu Fei.

Given Gu Fei's current talent, most elders are not qualified to judge his right or wrong.

As long as Gu Fei doesn't commit treason, no one will punish him.

They treat him like a treasure and don't even have time to worship him.

"Let them come. Gu Fei has already killed the Soul Clan members; we can't just keep them here and say a few words!"

Gu Nanhai chuckled, seemingly unconcerned.

"You can't say that!"

Suddenly, an old man dressed in a green robe entered the main hall. This man was none other than Gu Dao, the leader of the three immortals of the ancient clan.

"What does Elder Gu Dao mean?"

Gu Nanhai asked with some doubt.

"The Soul Clan intended to harm Xun'er within the Heavenly Tomb, but Gu Fei only killed three people—that's too lenient on them!"

Upon hearing Gu Dao's words, Gu Nanhai realized that he had misunderstood something earlier.

"Elder Gu Dao, before that descendant of the Xiao family left, he made a request!"

"Let our ancient clan help us find his father. We sent people to investigate and discovered that this matter is related to the Soul Clan!"

Gu Nanhai brought up another matter.

"It seems the Soul Clan also covets that ancient jade. However, that thing is useless without any one of its parts!"

"Even if we obtained the Xiao clan's territory, it wouldn't be of much use!"

Gu Dao sighed.

Clearly, he did not realize that the Soul Clan coveted not only the Xiao Clan's piece of ancient jade, but all of the ancient jade.

"Since you promised that descendant of the Xiao clan, and the Soul Clan will soon come demanding an explanation, why not mention that matter while you're at it?"

……

"Brother Gufei, you promised me you'd come back to Dragon Island with me!"

Three days later, on the mountain where Gu Fei was, Zi Yan brought up the matter again.

"Don't worry, I remember!"

Gu Fei smiled and agreed to Zi Yan's request.

This time, he wasn't going to drag it out any longer.

With his current strength, he can already provide Ziyan with a great deal of help.

However, simply controlling the attacks of the three Dragon Kings shouldn't be a big problem.

If everything goes smoothly, the Northern Dragon King will have no chance to contact the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

Next, Gu Fei and Zi Yan quietly left the Ancient Realm, just like before.

After leaving the ancient realm, Zi Yan directly established a spatial passage leading to Dragon Island.

After traveling for a while, a glimmer of light finally appeared ahead.

The view before him was no longer a monotonous silver; lush greenery and mountains once again filled his eyes.

The land that appeared before Gu Fei—or rather, the island—would be a more apt description.

The island is extremely vast. Above the island, a pale silver, bowl-shaped light shield hangs down, enveloping the entire island, while the outside is pitch black.

The arrival of Zi Yan and Gu Fei was clearly sensed by the powerful dragons on the island.

Several figures flew out from the island.

The closer they got, the stronger the invisible imperial aura emanating from Zi Yan became.

"I'm back!"

Zi Yan spread her Heavenly Phoenix Wings and flew directly to the sky above the island.
