The moonlight was like a veil, permeating the earth, as if the entire mountain range was covered with a layer of light white frost.
In the center of the mountain range, groups of palaces stand one after another. Under the moonlight, they are like ancient beasts, exuding a hint of ancient breath. At this moment, most of these palaces are brightly lit, and many people can be seen walking around in them. It is extremely lively, just like a festival.
These days are considered festive days for the ancient tribe, so many places are decorated with lights and filled with a festive atmosphere.
But on the mountain peaks far away from these magnificent ancient palaces, it seems particularly peaceful. Without the noise, it makes this place as peaceful and peaceful as a hermit's residence.
Yao Yan stood on the cliff, looking calmly into the distance with an inexplicable expression, until a black flame appeared behind him and the figure of Hunxuzi walked out of it. He raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the person who came, and said with a smile: "Master seems to be in a good mood?"
The smile on Hunxuzi's face was obvious, showing that he had gained a lot from this trip. I wonder what this old guy talked about with the people from the ancient clan.
"We had a pleasant chat... After knowing your current strength, those old fellows from the Ancient Clan all agreed to form an alliance with the Soul Clan and facilitate your marriage with the little princess of the Ancient Clan!" Hunxuzi chuckled and said slowly.
Yao Yan was not surprised by this. There were no eternal enemies in the adult world. As long as there were common interests, enemies could become friends. His appearance undoubtedly became the point of convergence for the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan to join forces.
Hunxuzi continued, "You didn't see the expressions of those old guys. Especially after they knew your current strength, the expressions they revealed were quite interesting~"
The most important thing is that Yaoyan was trained by him personally, and this sense of accomplishment is unparalleled.
"When will the clan leader arrive?" Yao Yan asked.
The final decision on this matter will depend on Emperor Hun Tian and Gu Yuan, and secondly on the attitudes of the major imperial clans. Marriage is only a means, and forcing the various clans to hand over the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is the ultimate goal. After all, if the eight pieces of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade are not collected, even the location of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Cave cannot be determined.
Emperor Hun Tian and Gu Yuan are well aware of this, but they don't know how they will communicate with the clan leaders of each tribe, will they use intimidation or inducement?
“After the ancient clan’s coming-of-age ceremony is over, the clan leaders of the major imperial clans will arrive.” Upon hearing this, Hunxuzi’s eyes flickered slightly and he laughed softly, “Such a grand scene has not appeared for thousands of years... Even when the Xiao clan was destroyed, it never appeared!”
"Master, do you think the major imperial clans will agree?" Yao Yan asked in puzzlement.
"They have no choice but to agree!" Hunxuzi grinned, his tone somewhat overbearing and cold.
There was a pause.
He glanced at Yao Yan and explained, "Don't think that the strength of the major imperial clans is similar. In this world, except for the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan, the bloodlines of the other clans are in a state of drastic decline. The strength of the clan leaders is also uneven. Among them, the Stone Clan and the Spirit Clan are the weakest. The clan leader of the Spirit Clan is at the peak of the six-star Dou Sheng. The Stone Clan is relatively weak, only at the middle stage of the six-star Dou Sheng. However, the physical body of the Stone Clan is very strong. Relying on that brutal physical body, it is enough to compete with the seven-star Dou Sheng... To be honest, the weakest is the Spirit Clan!"
Hunxuzi revealed a hint of vulgarity and laughed strangely in a low voice: "The Spirit Clan likes to study the way of dual cultivation, but unfortunately their clan leader has a congenital Xuanyin body, and no man in the clan can withstand her Yuanyin energy, which has led to her not having a dual cultivation partner for so many years, otherwise her strength should be higher... According to my research, the Yuanyin of the Spirit Clan leader is enough to be comparable to a ninth-grade Xuandan. If I can get it, even as my master, it will be a great benefit, hehe~"
Ninth-grade Xuandan? You are already old, can you handle it? Let your disciple do this for you... Yao Yan thought to himself. He felt that Hunxuzi was a little bit frivolous. He used to think that he was not interested in women, but it turned out that he was targeting the leader of the Spirit Clan.
At the same time, Yao Yan became more and more curious about the leader of the Spirit Clan. Not to mention what Hunxuzi said, just what Hunyi told him at the beginning was enough to attract his attention.
A man~
You'll always be young until you die~
Fortunately, Hunxuzi knew that he was Yaoyan's teacher, so he didn't keep his frivolous look. He coughed lightly and said, "I'm going to rest now. Tomorrow is the coming-of-age ceremony. You should be ready."
Yao Yan nodded and watched Hunxuzi leave, but in his heart he contacted Tianzihuo. The other party did not disappoint him and successfully led Xiao Ning into the Ancient Holy City. As for whether the other party could enter the ancient world and the Heavenly Tomb next, it depended on how Yao Yan arranged it.
Under the moonlight.
Yao Yan took out the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade given to him by Emperor Hun Tian. Looking at the ancient jade emitting a mysterious glow, his eyes gradually became solemn. Everything depends on tomorrow!
……
The next day.
When the first ray of morning light poured down from the sky, this ancient sacred mountain range became lively in an instant. Figures flashed across the sky, and all kinds of festive gongs and drums sounded over the mountains.
"crunch~"
The tightly closed door was slowly pushed open, and Yao Yan, who was neatly dressed, walked out slowly. Outside the room, Hun Jue, Hun Pei and others were waiting quietly. Since Yao Yan became a Douluo, their status in the Hun Clan has gradually stabilized, and they are Yao Yan's direct team.
"Young Clan Leader, the ancient clan's coming-of-age ceremony is about to begin." Hun Jue lowered his head slightly and said respectfully.
Yao Yan nodded slightly and led a few people to fly towards the ancient square in the center of the temple. As for Hunxuzi, he naturally would not stand with Yao Yan and others. The main reason was that this ceremony was an occasion for the younger generation, and a person of the older generation like him was obviously not suitable to stand with Yao Yan and others.
The group walked at a moderate pace, attracting countless people's attention along the way, especially Yao Yan. On the one hand, he was handsome, and on the other hand, the news of the upcoming marriage between the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan had already begun to spread.
The Gu clan had no intention of concealing the news. After all, if nothing unexpected happened, the engagement would be held today, and there was no point in hiding it. Naturally, this matter aroused envy and jealousy from many young people in the Gu clan.
In this regard.
Yao Yan simply ignored them. With his current strength, he didn't need to compete with a group of "juniors". He didn't encounter any blind guys blocking his way along the way. He quickly entered the square, took a quick look, and then sat next to Gu Xun'er under the gazes of countless people, and smiled at her.
This scene broke many people's hearts, and at the same time, a gaze full of murderous intent looked over.
Yao Yan was a little surprised, and looked in the direction of the gaze, only to see that the younger generation of the ancient clan were all gathered there. Some of them were dodging his gaze, some were unwilling, and some were jealous. Only one person was a little special. He was sitting cross-legged in the corner, his hair was black and white, and he exuded a sharp aura. He looked into his eyes without showing any fear.
It was just like the fights we had as teenagers... I knew I couldn't win, but I just refused to give in. Kill me if you can!
But soon, his figure was blocked by Gu Qingyang. Gu Qingyang waved to Yao Yan with a wry smile, as if hoping Yao Yan would not mind. Then he turned around and lectured the man, as if he was afraid that he would argue with Yao Yan.
"That man is called Gu Yao. He used to harass me for a while, but I ignored him, but he didn't give up... Now he seems to have set his sights on you." Gu Xun'er sat in a dignified posture, looking at Yao Yan with a smile in her elegant eyes, and said softly. "My Xun'er is so outstanding, it would be abnormal if no one pursued her." Yao Yan chuckled and didn't care.
With his current strength as a five-star Douluo, how could he care about a group of 'little guys' at the Douluo level? They are not opponents of the same level anymore, and Yao Yan has never thought that he would fight with people of the same generation. His opponents have always been people of the older generation!
There is only one final opponent!
"Who is yours~" Gu Xun'er said lightly, but her palm quietly reached over and pinched Yao Yan's waist... She didn't move, and suddenly felt angry, but her expression did not change at all, and she muttered: "Thick skin and flesh!"
"Of course it's not as soft and fair as Xun'er~" Yao Yan said jokingly.
Gu Xun'er spat in her heart, quickly withdrew her hand, sat upright, and did not give Yao Yan the chance to launch a sneak attack.
Yao Yan naturally wouldn't act like a hooligan in a crowded place. Acting like a hooligan when there are no people around is just a taste, but when there are many people around, he has to maintain his image. What's more, he is the center of the entire square now, and many people are looking at him, and some have even approached him.
The visitors were a man and a woman, both very young, with a flame mark on their foreheads. The man in white had a wry smile on his face, while the woman in red had a graceful figure and a veil on her face. She looked at Yao Yan curiously with her soft eyes.
"Huo Xuan from the Yan clan!" The man introduced himself and bowed to Yao Yan.
The woman beside him blinked her eyes and asked curiously, "My name is Huo Zhi, and I am also from the Yan Clan... I heard that you have nine kinds of strange fire. Can you show them to me? I am very interested in strange fire!"
Huo Xuan covered his face with his hands, looking helpless. Huo Zhi was really fearless. The other party was a Dou Sheng-level warrior. Even if he was a person of the same generation... It was precisely because he was a person of the same generation that he seemed scary and a little out of place, as if they were not the same kind of people at all.
Just like the difference between the imperial family and ordinary people, this is how Huo Xuan feels right now.
"Is there any benefit?" Yao Yan was stunned when he heard this, then chuckled.
"I can show you my red lotus fire!" Huo Zhimei looked serious and raised her slender jade fingers. A deep red strange flame rose in her palm. As the flame rose, lotus flowers seemed to emerge.
The Yan Clan... Yao Yan looked at the red lotus karma fire summoned by Huo Zhi, and his mind couldn't help but stir up some thoughts, because most of the strange fire that had not yet been collected was in the Yan Clan.
He pondered for a moment, then raised his hand. As his mind moved slightly, wisps of flames gradually emerged above his palm, clearly distinguished. Together with the Nine Dragon Thunder Flame, there were a total of ten kinds of strange fire, blending together. The flames were extremely gorgeous, with an indescribable beauty.
However, they were controlled perfectly by Yao Yan, without any trace of breath leaking out. They rose in his palms like phantoms.
"Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire, Sea Heart Flame, Fallen Heart Flame..." Huo Zhi's beautiful eyes were full of brilliance as she looked at the ten distinct kinds of strange fire with a hint of obsession. She couldn't believe that there was actually someone in this world who could control so many strange fires.
Even the leader of the Yan clan could only rely on his tyrannical strength to barely fuse the two kinds of strange fire, but the person in front of him seemed to have no upper limit.
What would happen if the other party were allowed to control all the strange fires?
Huo Zhi was a little curious.
"Why don't you come to the Yan Clan! With your special physique, you can try to fuse all the strange fires and refine them all into your body... We in the Yan Clan have five kinds of strange fires, and none of them you have yet!" Huo Zhi raised his jade hand and said expectantly.
Huo Xuan was completely stunned, he couldn't believe what Huo Zhi said. This woman was really crazy to dare to say such words.
Hun Jue and others stared at Huo Zhi coldly. Is the Yan clan going to snatch people from the Hun clan?
"It is rumored that you also possess the blood of the Dou Emperor of the Yan clan. We are also members of the same clan, aren't we?" Huo Zhi continued, as if she wanted to see Yao Yan's true thoughts. If Yao Yan was willing, she believed that the Yan clan would never reject such a monster.
A monster that can control double-digit strange fire will become extremely terrifying if it practices the fighting skills of the Yan clan, especially those heavenly-level fighting skills within the Yan clan that require extremely high compatibility with flames. She believes that Yao Yan can practice them successfully!
Gu Xun'er's beautiful eyes moved slightly, but she didn't say anything. She watched everything with a smile.
"My teacher is from the Soul Clan and has been training me since I was young. Do you think I will join the Yan Clan?" Yao Yan asked softly.
"That's right~" Huo Zhi nodded slightly, and said nothing more. He looked reluctantly at the ten kinds of strange fire rising from Yao Yan's palm, and continued unwillingly: "Can I ask, how did you do it?"
"The technique is special." Yao Yan said concisely.
Huo Zhi was full of disbelief. No matter how special the martial arts technique was, it would require Yao Yan's body to be able to withstand it.
Those are ten kinds of strange fire!
"Sorry!" Huo Xuan bowed to Yao Yan with an apologetic look on his face, and then forcibly pulled Huo Zhi away. He was worried that if the other party continued to ask questions, the Yan Clan and the Soul Clan would go to war.
Yao Yan watched the two leave, but there was a gleam in his eyes. He was determined to obtain the Yan Clan's strange fire. In fact, he also wanted to know, after he collected all the strange fires, whether the Burning Art in his body would undergo special changes and advance to a higher level!
For example, the magical power of the universe...
"Is the strange fire very useful to you?" Gu Xun'er looked at Yao Yan with her elegant eyes and asked. If Yao Yan really needed the strange fire so much, it would not be a bad idea to give the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame to him in the future. As for the reason... you can understand it as her little willfulness.
The Gu clan can marry her off, and it is also possible for her to give some dowry to her future husband.
"The technique I practice is quite special. I can advance by devouring strange fires. In fact, I also want to know if it can break through the shackles of the Heavenly Rank and reach another level if all the strange fires are gathered together." Yao Yan nodded slightly and said softly.
Gu Xun'er nodded slightly and stopped talking, but she silently kept this in mind... Maybe in the future she could go with him to snatch the Yan Clan's strange fire!
Given the size of the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan, they obviously have nothing to fear from the Flame Clan.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the sound of an ancient bell suddenly rang out in this world. The sound of the bell was mighty and finally spread out in this vast mountain range.
"The time has come, let the ceremony begin!"
Along with a terrifying pressure sweeping across the world, an old voice also resounded from the void. (End of this chapter)
