Chapter 217 The situation is tense
Looking at the beautiful figure below, the ancient demon's cold eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"Xun'er, you are indeed the most perfect!"

The girl at the end of the sight was wearing a light green dress, her three thousand black hair was tied up casually, spreading over her slender waist, and her otherworldly and beautiful face made even the whole world dim.

Such a smart and beautiful woman will always be a shining star wherever she is.

The ancient demon took a step forward, his body trembled, and then disappeared into the void. The next moment, he was standing straight in front of Xun'er, staring at her quietly.

"Xun'er, it's time to go back to the clan!"

The usually cold ancient demon's tone at this moment was unusually gentle.

Just as he finished speaking, there were gusts of breaking wind sounds, and dozens of black shadows fell from the sky, landing directly in front of Xun'er.

Gu Zhen and Ling Quan stood on the left and right, clasped their fists respectfully towards Xun'er, and said respectfully: "Deputy Commander of the Black Annihilation Army, Gu Zhen (Ling Quan), meet the young lady. We are here on the orders of the clan leader to welcome the young lady back to the clan!"

"Welcome Miss Hui!"

Dozens of Black Annihilation Army soldiers exuding a powerful aura shouted in unison, and the majestic sound waves merged into one, sweeping out like a thunder.

Such an astonishing display immediately attracted the attention of everyone at Canaan College.

"That's, Junior Sister Xun'er?"

"These men in black... are so strong. Each of them has the aura of a Dou Wang or above, especially the ones in the front... Am I seeing correctly? They are kneeling in front of Xun'er, who is she?"

"Xiao Yan is such an enviable guy..."

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that today I can not only see the legendary seventh-grade elixir and elixir thunder, but also see such an amazing display."

Naturally, everyone's discussion reached the ears of Xun'er, Gu Zhen and the other two.

Gu Zhen's eyes flashed with satisfaction. This effect was what he expected. It was worthwhile for him to rehearse this scene in advance, and it was also worthwhile for him to wait until the thunderclouds dissipated before bringing people to greet her as if he had just discovered Miss Xun'er.

How could the momentum of the Black Annihilation Army welcoming back the ancient clan's princess be drowned out by the momentum of a mere pill thunder, and...

Looking at Gu Xun'er, Gu Zhen's respectful eyes flashed with a hint of profound meaning, and he thought to himself: "Miss, you should understand my intention of arranging everyone to do this, so don't add any more twists and turns..."

"Cutting off the possibility for me to continue staying here?" Gu Xun'er thought to herself.

With this kind of pomp and ceremony, her presence had become too conspicuous, and it was no longer possible for her to stay in Canaan College.

He didn't confront her directly, but was stabbing her in the face. This style of behavior...

Gu Xun'er raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes passed Gu Yao and fell on Gu Zhen, catching his meaningful look, and thought to herself: "Sure enough, he is just like the rumors, with a calm personality, steady actions but also flexible and adaptable."

Gu Yao and Ling Quan keenly caught the faint high-frequency sound of the word "Xiao Yan", and their faces suddenly became gloomy.

"Damn ants."

The ancient demon's eyes became fierce, and his perception power spread out, trying to capture Xiao Yan's location.

From the few words I just heard from the people in the academy, the relationship between Xun'er and the kid from the impoverished family is deeper than I imagined. In this case, there are some things that need to be resolved.

Seeing this, Gu Xun'er's eyes suddenly became stern, and she quickly said, "That's what I was thinking too. Let's set off and return immediately!"

"Xun'er, don't worry, I still have some things to do. Xiao Yan, is he over there?" The ancient demon raised his eyes slightly, looked in the direction of Panmen, and said lightly: "Wait for me for a moment, I'll go take care of something."

Hearing this, Gu Xun'er's face suddenly changed. She was so concerned that she shouted subconsciously in a low voice: "Gu Yao, what do you want to do? Don't do it!"

When he saw Xun'er's appearance, the coldness in the ancient demon's eyes became even stronger.

"Xiao Yan, hum——"

Without any further words, the ancient demon tapped the ground with his toes, and his body instantly turned into an ice-blue light, shooting towards the direction of Panmen.

Gu Xun'er hurriedly spread her golden flaming wings and chased after the ancient monster.

"Wait, don't be impulsive." Gu Zhen stretched out his hand, but he had no time to stop him. A trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he murmured, "Gu Yao is too self-willed. I hope he won't go too far..."

With a sigh, he and Lingquan hurriedly chased after him.

"Damn it."

Seeing this, Su Qian's face suddenly changed and he hurriedly prepared to go to Panmen.

The ancient demon had no intention of hiding his malice towards Xiao Yan, so it was hard to guarantee that he would not take action. Directly attacking the students of Canaan College was undoubtedly a provocation to Canaan College. If this matter was allowed to go unchecked, how would the college survive in the future?
At this time, a clear voice reached Su Qian's ears: "Don't worry, Great Elder. I will handle the matters of the Ancient Clan and Xiao Yan! I'll trouble you with the matters here."

A low thunder sounded, and Lin Yuan's figure disappeared on the stone platform.
-
Inner courtyard, Panmen.

Xiao Yan took a step forward and walked firmly towards the central square.

Hearing the voices of the Black Annihilation Army, Xiao Yan decided to go there. He should not let Xun'er bear the pressure alone. Even if his strength was not enough, he still had to take the initiative to face it.

"Xiao Yanzi, be careful." Yao Lao's voice suddenly rang in Xiao Yan's heart: "Get your puppets ready, a hostile person is coming straight at you."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was immediately shocked. Without any hesitation, he quickly used his mind to connect with the puppet in the ring.

The next moment, a figure shrouded in coldness suddenly appeared in Xiao Yan's sight. The figure flashed continuously, and in the blink of an eye it appeared ten meters in front of Xiao Yan. An extremely cold breath attacked Xiao Yan.

Under this strange cold air, Xiao Yan found that even the Dou Qi in his body showed signs of freezing.

With a thought, the Wind Fury Dragon Flame rose up. Xiao Yan resisted the terrible cold air with difficulty and looked at the hostile visitor.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yan asked in a deep voice with a face as gloomy as water.

"There's no point in telling you, because you're going to die soon." The ancient demon looked at Xiao Yan indifferently, as if he was looking at an ant, "People like you shouldn't appear in Xun'er's glorious life."

"Go away, you ant from a poor family. Blame it on your own transgression."

After he finished speaking, a stream of icy fighting spirit shot out from his fingertips, carrying a fierce gust of wind, and flew towards Xiao Yan's throat.

Although it was just a casual attack, this attack was definitely not something that the five-star Dou Ling Xiao Yan could resist.

Without special means, Xiao Yan would have died on the spot.

However, Xiao Yan snapped his fingers and a puppet made of silver and copper flashed out and blocked in front of him. Then he punched out. The fierce fist wind dissipated the sharp fighting spirit, and the remaining force rushed towards the ancient monster.

The ancient demon raised his eyebrows and waved his sleeves lightly, easily eliminating the fierce fist wind.

Xiao Yan looked at the ancient demon with cold eyes. This guy was not joking. That attack just now was really meant to take his life.

Thinking of this, he suppressed the anger in his heart and stared at the other person cautiously.

The ancient demon's eyes swept over Xun'er who was flying over, and he looked coldly at the demon puppet and Xiao Yan, and said coldly: "Puppet, strange fire, you have a lot of interesting things on you. However, these external objects can't save your life... Die!"

Before he finished speaking, the ancient demon's figure disappeared from Xiao Yan's sight in an instant like a ghost.

The moment his figure disappeared, a chill surged into Xiao Yan's heart. Although his soul perception was outstanding among his peers, he was unable to sense anything.

The next moment, in Gu Xun'er's panicked eyes, a claw surrounded by cold air suddenly stretched out from the void behind Xiao Yan, bringing with it a sharp energy like a blade, and grabbed Xiao Yan's neck mercilessly.

Judging from the fierce power of the claws, if it hits, it can completely tear Xiao Yan's neck apart.

In this short moment, Xiao Yan was too late to ask the Demon Puppet for rescue. As a "driver", his reaction speed was the biggest weakness of him and the Demon Puppet.

At the moment when Xiao Yan seemed to be about to die, a low thunder sounded.

A figure in green clothes appeared beside Xiao Yan, and a palm surrounded by green flames cleverly clasped the icy claw. A ripple of air burst out from the intersection of the two.

The ripples of the wind blew Xiao Yan out and flew towards Gu Xun'er. In mid-air, Xiao Yan quickly activated the Fire Wind Step to relieve the force on his body, and then landed lightly dozens of meters away from the collision point. Immediately, his body unconsciously took a defensive stance and looked solemnly at the two people fighting - Lin Yuan and Gu Yao.

Yao Lao in the Bone Inflammation Ring breathed a sigh of relief and dispersed the power gathered in his hands. If Lin Yuan had arrived a moment later, he would have to rescue Xiao Yan himself.

On the other side, Gu Xun'er finally reunited with Xiao Yan.

She fluttered her golden flaming wings and landed lightly in front of Xiao Yan. She stretched out her right arm to block the latter, trying to protect him behind her.

Gu Xun'er's skillful and natural movements made Gu Zhen and Ling Quan behind her twitch their eyes.

Damn it, the young lady is really treating this kid from a poor family...

Afterwards, everyone present looked at Lin Yuan and the ancient demon who were fighting.

“You came to visit my Canaan Academy, but you wantonly attacked the students of the academy.” Lin Yuan looked at the ancient monster calmly and said lightly: “My friend from the ancient clan, you are very courageous, but you lack etiquette…”

As soon as he finished speaking, a blue lotus earth core flame gushed out from his body, lingering around his arms and sweeping towards the ancient monster.

"Etiquette, that is to prepare crowns for the strong. Are you... a strong person?"

As he spoke, a hint of eagerness flashed in the ancient demon's eyes, and a vast amount of fighting spirit roared out from his body, transforming into a bone-chilling cold air that swirled up along his arm, as if it wanted to freeze Lin Yuan and Qing Huo together.

"Bam—"

Blazing heat and extreme cold, two completely opposite and fierce winds swept over, and two figures flew backwards from the point of collision.

A silver light flashed on Linyuan Mountain, and a figure appeared in front of Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er.

The ancient demon stepped on the void, a circle of space ripples reverberated around his body, and his figure landed in front of Gu Zhen and Ling Quan like a ghost.

"Your body movement is good, but your attainments in cold energy still have a lot of room for improvement." Lin Yuan chuckled, and green fire rose, turning the water stains on his palm into nothingness. "How is it, am I considered a strong man?"

The ancient demon narrowed his eyes slightly, his palms were red, and the burning feeling made his face even more grim.

In this brief fight, I was actually at a disadvantage.

"The Deputy Commander of Gu Yao is actually injured?" Ling Quan looked at Gu Yao's hand behind him, his heart was filled with turmoil. This was a well-known young warrior in the clan, one of the geniuses second only to the number one genius Gu Qingyang.

"The power of the strange fire is indeed strong." Gu Zhen looked at Lin Yuan solemnly.

Looking at Lin Yuan's back, Xiao Yan cupped his hands and said in a deep voice, "Brother Lin, thank you for protecting me just now."

Lin Yuan did not turn around, but waved his hand casually and said lightly: "It's just a small matter, no need to thank me! Since you are a student of Canaan College, at least within this college, we will not let others attack you."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with warmth and a hint of guilt.

But soon, he suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and looked at the ancient monster, the one who wanted to take his life, with a bit of ferocity in his eyes.

"Tell me, who are you?" Xiao Yan asked seriously again.

There was no need to ask why the other party attacked. However, the hatred of bullying the weak and taking lives at will could not end in vain. Even though his current strength was far from enough, he would eventually get revenge, just like what happened between him and Nalan Yanran.

Turning his gaze away from Lin Yuan, the ancient demon looked at the anger in Xiao Yan's eyes and sneered. The anger and hatred of the weak were not worth mentioning.

"Only after you survive this day will you be qualified to know."

The ancient demon's indifferent voice sounded, and an extremely cold air rushed out from his body.

Seeing this, Xun'er could only shout at Gu Yao: "Gu Yao, by attacking the young patriarch of the Xiao clan, do you want to destroy the alliance between the two clans? Can you really afford this?" For the first time, she realized how important strength was.

Seeing Xun'er's defense, the ancient demon became even angrier and said coldly, "It's just killing an overstepping ant. I can bear the consequences..."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Lin Yuan and Xiao Yan behind him.

Even for this person, it would be impossible for him to protect a Dou Ling while fighting with himself.

Seeing that Gu Yao refused to give up attacking Xiao Yan, Gu Xun'er laughed in anger and said coldly: "Gu Yao, you dare to ignore the covenant between the two clans in front of me. Then I want to see, do you dare to do the same in front of my father?"

As she spoke, she took out a purple jade slip from her storage ring. The jade slip emitted extremely mysterious spatial fluctuations.

This jade slip and some of the methods that Gu Yuan arranged for her were the basis for Gu Xun'er to live outside the ancient world for a long time without high-level guards.

"The space jade slip, could it be the clan leader's?" Gu Zhen's face suddenly changed, and he said quickly: "Miss, don't be impulsive. The clan leader is very busy, and we must not disturb him for such a small matter."

However, Gu Xun'er remained unmoved and just looked at Gu Yao coldly.

Gu Zhen looked at the determined expression of his young lady, then looked at Gu Yao who had a murderous look on his face, and a heavy feeling of helplessness rose in his heart.

After hesitating for a moment, he flashed and stood in front of Xiao Yan.

Looking at Gu Yao, Gu Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Yao, stop making trouble. The alliance between the two clans is as solid as a rock and cannot be insulted. If you attack Young Clan Leader Xiao Yan again, I will have no choice but to fight against you..."

Hearing this, the ancient demon was silent for a while, looked deeply at Gu Xun'er and the jade slip, and slowly retracted the extremely cold air that was escaping.

Upon seeing this, Gu Xun'er heaved a sigh of relief and put away the purple space jade slip in her hand.

At the same time, everyone present, including Lin Yuan, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Judging from Gu Xun'er's appearance just now, it was really possible for her to use that space.

The continent’s most powerful warrior, Gu Yuan, was almost here.

“This girl.” Lin Yuan secretly shook his head and thought to himself, “Summoning the jade slip of the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng, this backup plan, although exaggerated, is also reasonable. Fortunately, those dangerous ideas have not been implemented yet…”

"For Xun'er's sake, I will spare your life today."

Gu Yao looked at Xiao Yan expressionlessly and warned him, "But remember, you and Xun'er are not from the same world, don't have any delusions."

However, the ancient demon's words did not cause any emotional fluctuations in Xiao Yan. He just asked the same question for the third time.

"Tell me who you are?"

There was a striking firmness in the voice, a determination formed by the interweaving of countless complex emotions.

Hearing this, Gu Yao raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Xiao Yan playfully.

"Since you have survived today, I will tell you. Remember well that I am the deputy commander of the Ancient Clan's Black Annihilation Army, an ancient demon. However, even if you remember it clearly, I think we will not have any intersection in the future."

"After all, you and the Xiao family, who have fallen to this point, are no longer qualified to contact us."

The words were indifferent, filled with extreme contempt.

Gu Yao also knew something about the Xiao family. Now, the family has completely declined. The strongest person in the family is the Dou Ling in front of him who he can kill with a single blow. How can they still be as glorious as they were in the past?
The existence of these people is simply a stain that should not exist on Xiao Xuan, the peerless strong man revered by many geniuses of the ancient clans.

Handing over the ancient jade and then quickly and completely disappearing is the most suitable ending for the Xiao family.

Xiao Yan didn't say much after noticing Gu Yao's disdain for the Xiao family. He just looked at Gu Yao steadily and replied seriously, "Gu Yao, today's matter is not over. Within ten years, I will go to you to avenge today's humiliation!"

"If you have the ability, courage and strength, then go to the eastern region of Zhongzhou to find me." The ancient demon said nonchalantly.

For the Dou Emperor bloodline, the Dou Zong and Dou Zun realms are the real period of development. The next ten years will be their real golden period. The gap in strength between the two will only get bigger.

The fierce conflict finally came to an end, and the scene fell into a brief silence. At this time...

"Snapped--"

A slight sound immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone present subconsciously looked at the person who clapped his hands - Lin Yuan.

"It seems that you have finished discussing the affairs of the Ancient Clan and the Xiao Clan." Lin Yuan clapped his hands and chuckled, but his eyes and voice were cold: "Then next, we should talk about the matter of the Ancient Demon and my Canaan Academy..."
