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

Chapter 235 Turmoil in the Northwest Continent!

Deep within the Beast Realm, in the Danxue Mountains.

This is the ancient habitat of the Celestial Phoenix Clan.

As a descendant of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix has always resided here.

Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles around this mountain range, there are no other magical beast families that inhabit or live there.

Deep within Danxue Mountain, atop a massive peak, phoenix trees and parasol trees gleam with golden light.

The ancient tree, thousands of years old, soars straight up, its canopy reaching into the clouds, and its trunk is extremely thick, dozens of meters wide, much larger than some trees in ancient forests.

On those ancient trees, huge golden leaves blocked out the sky.

Amidst that expanse of golden yellow, scattered patches of emerald green intermingle, creating a magnificent spectacle.

Ancient trees, thousands of years old, form a forest, casting a golden glow on the sky and earth, exuding an ancient and profound aura. These are the traces of time, with the rings of history etched upon them, one after another.

"Hey!"

At one moment, atop the mountain peak, a colossal golden phoenix hovered, its wings spread wide, blotting out the sky.

The cry of this enormous phoenix seemed to be filled with anger and sorrow.

"The Supreme Elder is going berserk again!"

"Even the Supreme Elder cannot explain the young clan leader's death to the clan leader!"

"I just want to ask, what does the young clan leader's murder have to do with us?"

"Given Gu Fei's strength, if he wanted to kill the young clan leader, could we have stopped him? How can this be blamed on us..."

At the top of a large tree, there is a wooden prison, sealed with a powerful seal. Feng Qing'er, as well as the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan members who had previously visited the Desolate Ancient Domain, are all imprisoned here.

"You lot seem to disagree with this punishment?" An old man in black descended outside the wooden cell, his voice cold.

"I absolutely refuse to accept this!"

A powerful member of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan retorted, "Even if the Supreme Elder had been there, Gu Fei could still have killed the young clan leader!"

"Yes, let alone us?"

Someone agrees.

"The young clan leader provoked Gu Fei, and you followed him without trying to stop him. Isn't that a capital offense?" the old man in black roared.

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately executed the two people who had just refuted him.

Watching this scene from inside the wooden prison, Feng Qing'er couldn't help but feel disheartened by her own race.

The lives of ordinary people are really cheap. It's laughable that those two people just now escaped death and left the Desolate Ancient Domain. Instead of dying at the hands of the enemy, they were executed by their own people.

This is truly a tragedy.

……

"The mere Heavenly Phoenix Clan is nothing to worry about!"

Beside the Netherworld, Gu Fei listened to Yao Ming's words without interest.

No matter how angry the Heavenly Phoenix Clan was, it was as loud as thunder to the ancient clans.

"Too……"

Yao Ming nodded and gave an awkward smile.

"Yao Ming, for the time being, do not allow anyone to approach the Nine Netherworlds!"

"Yes! I will make sure everything is arranged!"

Yao Ming replied seriously, after all, he had said that he would serve Gu Fei as his master.

"My lord, I'll be going now!"

"You don't need to stay here forever. I'll go back after I finish my seclusion!"

Cai'er has made ample preparations. With the chilling power of the Nine Netherworld and the assistance of the Bodhi Great Rejuvenation Pill, her strength will surely take a big step forward during this seclusion.

"Um!"

Gu Fei nodded.

He waited for a few more days before leaving, as there were other things waiting for him to do.

……

Northwest Continent.

This place is not as good as Zhongzhou.

Here, sects and empires are numerous, yet they remain in constant conflict. Although some powerful forces desire unification, they have been unable to achieve it.

Moreover, the so-called "not weak forces" there, if placed in the Central Plains, would only be at the level of a first-rate force, and in fact, they wouldn't be stronger than a force like the Four Directions Pavilion.

Therefore, those local forces and powerful individuals in the Central Plains did not pay much attention to them.

Originally, there was no major turmoil in the Northwest Continent, but a year ago, a sect called the Lion Nether Sect suddenly began a large-scale invasion.

Wherever their sect's experts went, no one could rival them. In less than half a year, nearly half of the Northwest Continent fell under the control of the Lion Nether Sect.

Because of the struggle for supremacy among the Lion Nether Sects, the entire Northwest Continent was plunged into war.

Normally, the ancient people wouldn't care too much about things like this.

However, since Gu Fei's speech in the main hall last time, the ancient clan has begun to pay attention to the Soul Hall.

This time, the Lion Nether Sect's attempt to dominate the Northwest Continent was influenced by the Soul Palace.

Gu Fei had also heard some rumors.

"It seems that the Soul Clan, having lost the essence of two main temples, has become desperate and is now extending its reach to the Northwest Continent..."

Gu Fei murmured to himself.

He understood the cause of the turmoil in the Northwest Continent better than the ancient tribesmen who went to investigate.

Although the Northwest Continent does not have the same level of hidden talents as the Central Continent, it is still an extremely vast region, and naturally it has many powerful individuals at the Dou Zun level.

It's somewhat unbelievable that the Lion Nether Sect could occupy most of the Northwest Continent with its own strength.

The Lion Nether Sect was originally only ranked among the top ten in the Northwest Continent, and was not invincible.

But this time, their strength has increased by leaps and bounds.

Moreover, there are many more mysterious and powerful individuals with extremely strong abilities.

Those extra powerful individuals were members of the Soul Hall.

They deliberately started the war, so that countless people would die in the war.

The people of the Soul Palace secretly collect the souls of the dead on the battlefield to achieve their goals.

"Gu Fei, are you saying that this war was deliberately provoked by the Soul Hall just to collect souls? Disregarding the lives of so many people?"

Upon hearing Gu Fei's words, Gu Nanhai and the others frowned. The Soul Hall's actions disgusted them; this force was somewhat anti-human.

"That's right. The reason we chose Central State is because the forces there are so complex and intertwined that even the Soul Hall wouldn't dare to easily launch a major war!"

Gu Fei nodded: "But places like the Northwest Continent are different. With the power of the Soul Palace, they are capable of dominating a one-sided war, and all they need to do is show up afterward to obtain countless souls..."

"Since the Soul Palace is so eager to obtain soul bodies, then we will thwart their plan!" Gu Nanhai made his decision.

Even if it means sending a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) level expert, we must quell this turmoil in the Northwest Continent.

"Elder, send someone over quickly! The longer this matter takes to resolve, the more benefits the Soul Clan will gain!"

Gu Fei nodded in agreement.

The Soul Clan no longer cares about the quality of souls; they intend to achieve their goals through sheer quantity.

Now that their plan has been discovered, Gu Fei will naturally not let them succeed.
