"Okay, all of you, please step aside."
As soon as Xu Wu Tun Yan finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a powerful energy pushed Mo Shang, along with the five people who were still unconscious on the ground, out of the main hall.
Immediately, the palace doors closed tightly again, revealing not a trace of their presence.
Outside the main hall, seeing Mo Shang and the others emerge, the Heavenly Venerable bowed to the hall again before turning his gaze to Mo Shang and his group.
When he saw Mo Shang's appearance, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said, "I didn't expect that you would have woken up so soon."
"Thanks to Lord Xu Yan's gift!"
Mo Shang spoke respectfully to the Heavenly Venerable, saying, "We are very grateful for the Heavenly Venerable's kindness in bringing us here to meet Lord Xu Yan."
"Hehe." The "Celestial Venerable" seemed to enjoy Mo Shang's flattery, chuckled softly, then looked at Mo Shang and said, "You seem to be called..."
"Don't hurt me, kid!"
"Hmm, Mo Shang, right? Not bad."
"Celestial Venerable" nodded, then said to Mo Shang, "If I'm not mistaken, your strength seems to have broken through to the peak of the Eight-Star Dou Zong realm?"
"Yes, all of this is thanks to Lord Xu Yan!"
Because he had just broken through, Mo Shang's strength was somewhat unstable at the moment, so he could not perfectly conceal his aura. And because of the Void Devouring Flame, Mo Shang did not dare to reveal the Chaos Fire at this time, so the "Celestial Venerable" easily sensed Mo Shang's strength.
"it is good!"
"Celestial Venerable" laughed loudly, patted Mo Shang on the shoulder, and then said, "Perfect timing. In a while, there will be an important mission in the hall. In my opinion, you are very suitable for this mission."
As soon as he finished speaking, "Celestial Venerable" looked Mo Shang over again and said, "If you can break through to the Nine-Star Dou Zong level within the next month, then I will make the decision to give you this opportunity, and I will also be able to speak highly of you in front of the Palace Master."
After speaking, looking at the others who were about to wake up, "Celestial Venerable" said nothing more, only letting out a cold laugh in his heart.
"Hmph, Yao Chen, with the Palace Master here, I can't kill you, but as for your disciple, I have plenty of ways to deal with him..."
Chapter 164 Zi Yan Breakthrough, Attacks the Saint's Storage Ring
"boom!"
Inside Yecheng Manor.
A terrifying energy fluctuation rose, and a powerful aura instantly emanated from the room, spreading outwards.
However, this aura had only just reached the edge of the courtyard when Xiao Fan firmly controlled it, preventing it from attracting the attention of the Ye family's experts.
"Om~"
Immediately, a spatial force flashed through the room, and a purple figure suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan looked at the unfamiliar figure in front of him with a look of surprise in his eyes. However, when he sensed the familiar aura on the other party, Xiao Fan immediately understood that this was Zi Yan after breaking through to the Dou Zong realm.
At this moment, Zi Yan had completely shed her childlike appearance and looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. Her originally chubby cheeks now only looked slightly rounder, and her eyes exuded a pure aura. Her long purple hair danced in the wind behind her head and fell to her waist.
"Zi Yan?"
Despite being mentally prepared, Xiao Fan still showed a hint of surprise when he saw Zi Yan at this moment.
"Xiao Fan, I'm coming to get my revenge on you!"
As soon as Xiao Fan spoke, Zi Yan, who was standing in the void, broke her composure in an instant. Her originally calm face was instantly filled with excitement. Having just broken through to the Dou Zong realm, Zi Yan had a feeling that her strength had greatly increased and that she was invincible in the world.
Looking at Zi Yan's expression, Xiao Fan knew what she was thinking. After all, when he broke through before, the increase in strength also brought a kind of illusion.
At this point, all you need to do is get a good beating and you'll come to terms with reality.
"Then come on!"
With a smirk, Xiao Fan reached out and grabbed at Zi Yan's figure. As Xiao Fan moved, the spatial power in the surrounding world instantly gathered in his palm, surrounding Zi Yan from all directions and enveloping her. In the blink of an eye, a cage made of spatial power was formed.
"Hmph, these tricks won't be able to trap me anymore!"
Zi Yan watched Xiao Fan's actions with excitement on her face. Purple light appeared in her pupils, and then silver-white spatial power appeared on her entire body. She suddenly disappeared from the spot.
"Ok?"
Xiao Fan looked at Zi Yan, who had suddenly disappeared from the spot, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He had not expected that Zi Yan, who was only a Dou Zong, would be able to escape from his hands.
He then quietly surveyed the surrounding space, carefully sensing the fluctuations of spatial power. However, the spatial power around him was extremely calm, and apart from the spatial cage he had just condensed, there was no movement whatsoever.
Unable to sense Zi Yan's presence, Xiao Fan smiled instead, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. His vast and terrifying soul power spread outwards from Xiao Fan, instantly enveloping the entire courtyard under his perception.
"Got you!"
As her soul power enveloped the entire courtyard, although Zi Yan still did not reveal her aura, Xiao Fan still sensed a slight fluctuation.
"They actually hid in the void..."
Sensing Zi Yan's location, Xiao Fan smiled and reached out. With a wave of his hand, the space in front of him was easily cut open like paper, revealing a dark crack from which wisps of ethereal and desolate energy emanated.
Without pausing, Xiao Fan took a step and stepped straight into the void.
In the time it takes to breathe two, the spatial rift reappeared in the same spot, and Xiao Fan stepped out again. This time, however, he was carrying Zi Yan in his hand.
Releasing Zi Yan, Xiao Fan looked at her and asked curiously, "You can actually enter and exit the void on your own? Truly worthy of the talent of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan..."
"Humph!"
Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Zi Yan's face lit up with excitement, but then she drooped her head like a wilted eggplant, looking unhappy: "That's not true, I still can't beat you!"
Hearing Zi Yan's words, Xiao Fan had a wry smile on his face. He reached out and tapped Zi Yan on the head, saying, "Do you think the difference between a Dou Zong and a Dou Zun is that simple? If you could defeat me right after breaking through to Dou Zong, would I even want to live?"
Seemingly noticing Zi Yan's disappointment, Xiao Fan patted her head and said, "Alright, alright, you've only just broken through to the Dou Zong realm. You know, when I first reached the Dou Zong realm, I wasn't as powerful as you."
"Really?"
"Of course, I never lie!"
...............
After Xiao Fan's words of comfort, Zi Yan put everything that had just happened out of her mind and happily said to Xiao Fan, "Xiao Fan, after my breakthrough, I felt a faint calling within my body, as if telling me that I should go somewhere..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan said, "That should be the call of your bloodline power. If I'm not mistaken, it should be guiding you to Ancient Dragon Island. However, the situation of the Ancient Dragon Clan is not good right now, so be careful. I'll accompany you later."
"Oh."
Upon hearing this, Zi Yan nodded. Compared to the call from within her body, Zi Yan was clearly more willing to believe Xiao Fan, and she stopped worrying about it.
"Ok?"
Just then, Xiao Fan's expression changed slightly. He took out a ring inlaid with crimson jade from his pocket. It was the same ring he had risked his life to retrieve from Zhu Kun's claws in the ancient emperor's cave. At this moment, it seemed that because of Zi Yan's breakthrough, he sensed a familiar aura and was emitting a scorching heat.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Fan handed the ring to Zi Yan and asked, "Zi Yan, could you open this ring?"
"Ok?"
As Xiao Fan took out the ring, Zi Yan's gaze instantly focused on it. For some reason, she felt a sense of sorrow wash over her.
"Xiao Fan, I...I'm so sad..."
Looking at the ring in front of her, Zi Yan's eyes welled up with tears.
He then took the ring from Xiao Fan's hand, feeling a strange sense of familiarity.
"Roar..."
Suddenly, Zi Yan seemed to see a colossal dragon shadow that blotted out the sky, roaring at her.
"Roar!"
Behind Zi Yan, the phantom of the Ancient Void Dragon instantly materialized, hovering behind her and letting out a roar. An invisible wave spread out instantly, shattering Xiao Fan's methods of blocking the courtyard.
Fortunately, Xiao Fan reacted very quickly. With a wave of his hand, the power of space once again firmly sealed the courtyard. However, the roar from before still carried out.
In an instant, all the magical beasts within Ye City prostrated themselves on the ground, and some even fainted from fear, foaming at the mouth.
The person who started all of this felt no remorse whatsoever.
After all, within Ye City, the Ye family was the dominant force; no one dared to question them, and the Ye family... similarly dared not question him...
Ignoring the changes in the outside world, Xiao Fan's gaze fell on Zi Yan in front of him.
The ring that had been quietly resting in Zi Yan's hand was now emitting a faint red light from its crimson jade, while Zi Yan's eyes flashed with purple energy as she stared intently at the ring.
After a while, the illusory image of the Ancient Dragon behind Zi Yan gradually dissipated, but its eyes seemed to have gained a bit more intelligence, and before disappearing, its gaze fell on Xiao Fan.
However, Xiao Fan did not react to this at all. He just looked at Zi Yan with concern. Although he knew that Zi Yan was Zhu Kun's daughter, Xiao Fan was still worried that the ring might cause some accident.
Fortunately, after the phantom of the Ancient Void Dragon dissipated, the strange phenomenon on Zi Yan's body disappeared in just a few breaths, and the crimson ring returned to Zi Yan's hand.
"Zi Yan! How is she?"
Xiao Fan looked at Zi Yan with concern, placed his hand on her wrist, and probed into her body with his powerful strength. Fortunately, after checking, he found that Zi Yan was not seriously injured.
"I'm fine, it's just that just now, I felt a kind of resonance between this ring and me..."
Zi Yan shook her head, though a faint trace of sadness lingered on her face, which she quickly put aside.
Immediately, Zi Yan held the ring between her two fair fingers, raised it up, and examined it curiously.
Seeing Zi Yan's actions, Xiao Fan's heart stirred, and he asked Zi Yan, "Zi Yan, can you take out what's inside this ring?"
"What's inside this storage ring?"
Zi Yan curiously examined the storage ring in front of her, then said somewhat uncertainly, "Let me try it!"
Immediately, Zi Yan's soul power probed towards the storage ring, but she quickly felt a resistance coming from it.
"It doesn't seem to work."
