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

Chapter 217 The Soul Clan's Revenge!

"no……"

"If that day ever comes, I can't accept it..."

"Moreover, Ziyan's feelings for me have been there for a long time. When she asked Xianle to call her 'Auntie,' I already understood her feelings for me..."

Gu Fei was lost in his memories.

He and Zi Yan had been through a lot together, helping each other along the way. In fact, he had already seen all of Zi Yan's body.

As a man, how can you let the woman be the one to break the ice first?

Gu Fei's gaze became very firm.

The next moment, Gu Fei turned to look at Zi Yan, naturally took her fair hand, and earnestly asked, "Zi Yan, will you be my woman?"

"what……"

As soon as Gu Fei finished speaking, Zi Yan was stunned.

It seemed like they hadn't reacted immediately.

She had wanted to muster up the courage to say those words to Gu Fei countless times.

Unexpectedly, Gu Fei spoke first at this moment.

In an instant, a tremendous surprise began to surge in Zi Yan's heart.

"I do!"

Zi Yan nodded excitedly.

The joy on his face was impossible to hide.

Then, she excitedly rushed into Gu Fei's arms and rested her head on his chest.

Gu Fei also opened his arms and hugged Zi Yan tightly.

"Cough! Cough!"

Watching this scene, Zhu Kun felt happy that his daughter could find happiness.

However, there's also a sense of helplessness, like having your own homegrown cabbage stolen by someone else.

Hearing Zhu Kun cough, Zi Yan awkwardly got off Gu Fei.

"Senior, I, Gu Fei, will never let Zi Yan down in this lifetime..."

Gu Fei said to Zhu Kun very solemnly.

"Still calling me senior?"

Zhu Kun said somewhat displeased.

"father in law!"

Gu Fei smiled and changed his words.

"Haha, I'm so glad I can see my daughter again in my lifetime, and see her find a good husband. Even if I die in this godforsaken place, I'll have no regrets..."

Zhu Kun let out a sigh.

Zi Yan felt uneasy upon hearing this, but there was nothing she could do about it at the moment.

"Ziyan, father-in-law, don't worry, this ancient emperor's cave will open soon!" Gu Fei stroked Ziyan's cheek.

He said this not just to comfort the father and daughter, but because he was confident.

With his current progress and strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to eventually collect all the ancient jades or even break through to the Dou Di realm.

"Gu Fei, your talent is indeed remarkable, even among the most outstanding geniuses I've known over the years. However, now that the path to becoming an emperor is severed, no matter how powerful you are, you can only break through to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm. And in this world, the number of Nine-Star Dou Shengs is not small..."

"You have absolutely no chance of winning against two opponents of the same level. Back then, the ancient Xiao Clan Chief, the Burning Flame Valley, and even the Yellow Spring Demon Saint were all top experts on the continent..."

Zhu Kun said all this to advise the two young people not to be too fixated on this matter.

"Father-in-law, the three people you just mentioned have all passed away. In the current Dou Qi Continent, there are only two people at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm: Gu Yuan, the patriarch of my Ancient Clan, and Hun Tiandi, the patriarch of the Soul Clan..."

Gu Fei explained, "As for the other races, eight-star Dou Sheng are now extremely rare. Many ancient races are experiencing a continuous decline in their bloodline power, and the strongest among them are only seven-star Dou Sheng..."

Are some ancient races really that weak now?

Hearing Gu Fei's words, Zhu Kun was somewhat surprised and sighed, "The Soul Clan and your Ancient Clan weren't considered top-tier back then, but I never expected them to have changed so much!"

"Overall, the Soul Clan is still stronger because, among the Soul Clan, there is a Void Devouring Flame whose cultivation is comparable to a nine-star Dou Sheng..." Gu Fei shook his head.

"Two nine-star Dou Shengs? It seems the Soul Clan is the strongest in the world today!"

"However, I am confident that I can reach that level within ten years!"

Gu Fei's voice was full of confidence, which even made Zhu Kun a little shaken.

Within ten years, he cultivated from a three-star Dou Sheng to a nine-star Dou Sheng. Such a speed has never been achieved by anyone before.

"Since you have such confidence, then go ahead and do it boldly. Perhaps you can break the stalemate that has lasted for ten thousand years in the Dou Qi Continent without a Dou Di..." Zhu Kun nodded approvingly.

In the following days, Zhu Kun learned more about what was happening on the continent from Gu Fei and Zi Yan.

Zi Yan also inherited some royal blood from her father.

"Brother Gu Fei, I need to go into seclusion for a while. Why don't you go back to the Ancient Realm first?"

Zi Yan looked at Gu Fei with reluctance. Although she really wanted Gu Fei to stay here, she knew that she couldn't be so selfish.

Gu Fei also has other relatives who need his company; he can't just think of himself.

"Seclusion?"

"Yes, this seclusion might allow me to make great progress in my cultivation. I will come to the Ancient Realm to find you later!" Zi Yan said with a smile.

"Alright, you can have this spatial jade slip!"

Gu Fei nodded silently, then took out a spatial jade slip he had crafted and handed it to Zi Yan.

Moreover, before leaving, Gu Fei also refined more than a hundred bottles of sugar pills at once.

"Wow, so many! Brother Gufei, you're so kind!"

Seeing so many sugar pills, Zi Yan was very happy and couldn't help but leave her red lipstick mark on Gu Fei's face.

"This kid, could it be that he won Ziyan over with just a few sugar pills?" Zhu Kun said with a smile as he watched Gu Fei and Ziyan getting along harmoniously.

"I'm leaving!"

"Father-in-law, I'll personally arrange my wedding with Ziyan after you're released..."

Gu Fei bid farewell to Zi Yan and Zhu Kun, and left the silent Ancient Emperor Space alone.

……

In the Eastern Region, all the sects and forces here regard the ancient clan as their supreme ruler.

However, things have been rather unsettled in the Eastern Region recently. Many sects have been slaughtered without cause, leaving no one alive.

Even some powerful members of the ancient clans who came to investigate disappeared without a trace.

This matter has attracted the attention of some elders of the ancient clans.

Not long after Gu Fei returned to the Ancient Realm, he also heard about this matter.

"Gu Fei, are you saying that these things were done by the Soul Clan?"

On the mountain where Gu Fei was located, Gu Xiong, Gu Nanhai, and other senior experts were drinking tea with Gu Fei in the pavilion at the top of the mountain, exploring the current situation together.

"It must be. Last time, the Soul Clan lost face in our Ancient Realm, and this must be their act of revenge!"

Gu Fei nodded.

"Among the sects involved in this incident, one had a sect leader with peak Dou Zun strength in charge, yet they showed no signs of resistance. The person who made the move must have reached the Dou Sheng level. Such a move strongly suggests the involvement of the Soul Clan!"

"How dare they cause trouble in the Eastern Region! I'll make sure they never leave!"

Gu Xiong spoke angrily.

He wished he could go and drag those Soul Clan members out right now and tear them to pieces.
