Then, a voice suddenly appeared in everyone's ears.
"No coercion? Bullshit!"
"As descendants of the Dou Di, a race with a lineage spanning over ten thousand years, how could they possibly stoop so low as to attack a young man from Zhongzhou, even resorting to threatening others with their lives? The ancient race has truly squandered all the glory painstakingly accumulated by its predecessors!"
The voice made no attempt to conceal its true intentions, using the most direct language to criticize the actions of the ancient race.
"What's even more ridiculous is that, facing a mere Dou Zun junior, Dou Sheng has to take action one after another. If word gets out, it will only become a huge laughing stock in Zhongzhou!"
"No wonder they disappeared from Zhongzhou for so many years. It seems the ancient clans really are just cowards. Hahaha, their shameful behavior is certainly not worth spreading!"
Amplified by their battle aura, the sound echoed continuously throughout the space, causing immense frustration to all the ancient clans members who heard it. However, considering everything that had happened that day, they were momentarily at a loss as to how to retaliate.
Gu Yu, the strongest and highest-ranking person present, did not fly into a rage as others expected when he heard the barrage of insults. Instead, he widened his eyes in surprise, revealing an incredulous expression.
The voice pinpointed the crux of the matter, each word piercing to the heart. However, he wasn't particularly concerned; after all, strength spoke for itself. If he were to find out, he would suffer a terrible fate.
What instantly stirred up a storm within him was this: despite being a Seven-Star Dou Sheng, the person's voice was right beside him, yet he still couldn't pinpoint their exact location. Several attempts to determine their location all failed!
What truly shocked Gu Yu was that she couldn't even tell who had arrived.
Just what level of cultivation does this person possess?
"No need to look anymore, I'm right here!" The voice seemed to have known all along that Gu Yu was searching for him, so after cursing, it appeared without warning.
The figure that appeared was somewhat ethereal; his body did not seem to be a true human form, with a strange blurriness at the edges. An experienced person would immediately realize that this person was a soul entity, without a real physical body.
However, this person is fundamentally different from ordinary souls. The soul of a strong person after their physical body is shattered is usually faint and can be identified with the naked eye.
The person before them, aside from the edges, was practically indistinguishable from an ordinary person. Even a Dou Sheng powerhouse, a Heavenly Realm soul, wouldn't dare to achieve this.
Gu Yu was now certain that he had only ever seen such terrifying soul strength in the Gu Clan's number one expert, who was also the clan leader!
The moment that figure appeared, Xiao Yan trembled instantly. Actually, when he heard the voice, Xiao Yan already had a vague guess. However, at that time, he couldn't believe it, thinking his injuries were too severe and his judgment was flawed.
However, at this moment, when that familiar silhouette appeared, clearly suspended in the void, blocking Gu Yu for him, all doubts vanished instantly!
He was the one who taught him alchemy, imparted the Burning Technique to him, led him through the Cloud Mist Sect, and participated in the chaotic war in the Northwest Region. He guided him when he was most confused and helpless, and saved his life several times when he was on the verge of death. In Xiao Yan's heart, he was never less important than his father!
"teacher!"
Xiao Yan had completely confirmed that the nameless powerhouse in front of him was his teacher, Medicine Venerable Yao Chen!
The figure turned around and exchanged a brief glance with Xiao Yan. The deep bond between the master and disciple between them needed no further words.
Yao Chen looked at Xiao Yan with incredibly gentle eyes: "Little one, your teacher is back. With me here, the sky won't fall down today!"
After briefly comforting Xiao Yan, Yao Lao's gaze instantly turned cold as he looked at Gu Yu. His most prized disciple had been so badly injured by the Gu Clan, and Yao Lao was naturally furious. He questioned Gu Yu with equal bluntness, "We've already given you the Gu Jade you wanted, and the Xiao family has treated the Gu Clan with utmost respect. However, the Gu Clan's methods are far too despicable; they even dared to try and kill the Xiao family and my disciple. Don't blame us for this!"
Gu Yu's expression had already become extremely solemn when Yao Chen appeared, and now, listening to Yao Lao's rebukes, his eyes were filled with complex emotions. Even now, he still couldn't discern Yao Lao's strength, nor did he know how he had arrived here.
As a Seven-Star Dou Sheng, his soul had reached the peak of the Heavenly Realm. He was constantly scanning the location of Yao Lao, but could only sense a hazy, ethereal mist. The unknown was terrifying, which was why Gu Yu had no intention of making a move until now.
"I don't care who you are, but this is the heart of my ancient clan. If you truly knew the strength of my clan, you should understand how foolish it is to make an enemy of us!"
Gu Yu couldn't see through Yao Lao's strength, so he wanted to use the name of the Gu Clan to keep the person in front of him calm for the time being.
"Heh heh heh, so what if my disciple was wronged? So what if he's a descendant of a Dou Di? So what if he's from an ancient clan!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yu's face turned ashen. Based on all the information, it seemed Xiao Yan's teacher was none other than Yao Chen, the former alchemist from Zhongzhou. While it was true that alchemists possessed powerful souls, how could a Dou Zun be so easily seen through?
Gu Yu was now even more convinced that this was some old geezer trying to cause trouble for himself by using Teacher Xiao Yan's name.
"I advise you not to think that just because you have power, you can offend people you shouldn't."
At this moment, the old apothecary suddenly smiled contemptuously: "Then I'll also give you a piece of advice: it's shameful for an old codger who's lived for so many years to still make things difficult for a young man!"
After being repeatedly insulted and having his invocations of the ancient clan ignored, Gu Yu's patience finally ran out. Since reasoning with him was useless, he had no choice but to resort to the most direct method, and his battle qi erupted from his body.
"You forced your way into the ancient clan, and you've insulted them time and again. Don't think that just because you have some cunning tricks, you can act recklessly on this Dou Qi Continent!"
Gu Yu's voice rose higher with his battle aura: "Today I'll show you what it means to be outmatched! Don't think that no one in the Gu Clan can defeat you!"
"Well done! I'd like to see how the ancient clans will stop us from leaving!"
