"The Xiao Clan?"
"How dare a fallen Family compare itself to my Gu Clan!"
Elder Yuan remained unimpressed, still speaking with disdain and mockery.
However, the next second, before Xiao Xuan's figure even appeared, an extremely terrifying pressure descended first.
It forced the two Dou Zun Experts of the Gu Clan to their knees.
The next second, Xiao Xuan's figure slowly emerged.
A red glow flashed in his eyes as he coldly looked at the two Dou Zun Experts kneeling on the ground.
The moment Xun'er saw Xiao Xuan appear, a hint of astonishment flashed across her Face!
The middle-aged man before her had a serious expression, yet the aura he exuded was in no way inferior to, and perhaps even surpassed, that of her father, Gu Yuan.
More importantly, with just a casual move, he had suppressed two Dou Zun Experts, rendering them unable to move!
"You two are merely descendants attached to the Gu Clan, yet you rely on the Gu Clan's name to be so arrogant…"
"Do you really think my Xiao Clan has no one?"
After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, he slowly walked towards Elder Lin and the other Elder, one step at a time.
With each step Xiao Xuan took, the Void Realm behind him tore open, emitting rumbling sounds.
At this moment, the Faces of Elder Lin and the other Elder had long lost their previous smugness, replaced by expressions of terror.
"A Dou… Dou Saint Expert…"
Elder Lin's voice now trembled.
This was because he sensed a terrifying and mysterious Qi emanating from Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Xuan slowly raised his palm, and a giant red palm print instantly appeared in the air, pressing down on the two of them.
"My Xiao Clan has only declined, not been annihilated!"
Xiao Xuan spoke coldly, his eyes showing no emotion other than the flashing red aura.
"Senior, spare our lives…"
"We had no intention of insulting the Xiao Clan; we were merely following the instructions of the Gu Clan's Elder Council, conveying their words…"
"It's not what we truly think…"
Elder Lin felt the extremely terrifying killing intent emanating from Xiao Xuan and quickly begged for mercy.
However, Xiao Xuan merely spoke coldly:
"It's not what you two truly think? If I hadn't appeared today, perhaps you two wouldn't be saying this now…"
"Sir…"
At this moment, Elder Lin still wanted to struggle further.
However, Xiao Xuan ignored him, his gaze sharpening as he prepared to make the two of them pay the price.
Dou Zun Experts, if they were younger, might still be important cultivation targets for the Gu Clan.
But these two elders, having only just reached the Dou Zun realm at their current age, would not progress further in this life.
In the Gu Clan, they merely served as security guards; the death of two security guards would be of little consequence to the Gu Clan.
However, the next second, just as Xiao Xuan was about to kill the two of them on the spot…
A familiar aura suddenly appeared, and Xiao Xuan stopped his movements.
He spoke in a deep voice: "Since you're here, why not show yourself…"
After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, a hearty laugh echoed from the firmament.
Immediately, a golden light suddenly appeared in the distant Void Realm, and the entire Void Realm shattered directly.
And Gu Yuan slowly stepped out from the Void Realm, arriving before Xiao Xuan.
"You old fellow, you're as sharp as ever…"
"With your status, why bother with these two?"
Gu Yuan said with a smile, his voice soft.
Seeing Gu Yuan's arrival, Xun'er also bowed slightly and called out softly:
"Father…"
Gu Yuan nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Then, Gu Yuan turned his head slightly to look at Xiao Xuan, smiling softly:
"Xiao Xuan…"
"Let it be. These two were indeed wrong today, but their crime does not warrant death. Spare their lives…"
Hearing Gu Yuan say this himself, Xiao Xuan slowly withdrew the pressure he had exerted on the two of them.
"Xiao Xuan!"
"The Clan Chief of the Xiao Clan from a thousand years ago…"
When Elders Yuan and Lin heard the name Xiao Xuan, their hearts couldn't help but tremble violently.
It was no wonder the person before them had been so angry just now. Fortunately, Gu Yuan had personally arrived, giving Face and saving their lives.
"Thank you, Clan Chief…"
Elders Yuan and Lin did not hesitate, speaking their thanks with utmost sincerity.
Gu Yuan, however, turned his head and gave them a cold glance: "You two, return to the Ancient World to receive your punishment…"
Upon hearing this, Elders Yuan and Lin quickly nodded, then bowed towards Xiao Xuan and said: "Thank you for your magnanimity, Sir…"
Xiao Xuan's Face remained without any extra change, and he merely spoke coldly: "Scram…"
Upon hearing this, the two dared not linger for another moment, immediately rising and tearing open the Void Realm to flee.
After the two left, Xun'er immediately bowed and respectfully said to Xiao Xuan: "Junior Gu Xun'er greets Senior Xiao Xuan…"
At this moment, a slight smile finally appeared on Xiao Xuan's Face:
"Gu Yuan, you old rascal, your Girl is quite similar to you…"
Gu Yuan also smiled slightly: "What kind of talk is that? If my daughter isn't like me, is she supposed to be like you?"
Xiao Xuan and Gu Yuan joking like this made it clear that their relationship a thousand years ago was quite good.
And Xun'er also came to Xiao Yi's side, smiling softly as she said:
"Brother Xiao Yi, I didn't expect Senior Xiao Xuan to have awakened. You must already know the history of the Xiao Family, right…"
Xiao Yi nodded: "My ancestor told me a little…"
Then Xun'er smiled slightly, leaning close to Xiao Yi's ear and whispering: "Since Brother Xiao Yi has Senior Xiao Xuan to guide him! Then Xun'er now believes even more that Brother Xiao Yi can become a top expert on the continent and restore the Xiao Clan to its former glory!"
"When that time comes, Xun'er will be waiting in the Gu Clan for Brother Xiao Yi to come propose marriage…"
Xiao Yi heard this but said nothing, merely turning his head to quietly look at Xun'er.
Xiao Xuan and Gu Yuan, who were nearby, also heard what Xun'er had just said.
Gu Yuan shook his head helplessly, truly regretting sending Xun'er to the Xiao Family back then.
Xiao Xuan, however, burst into laughter: "Gu Yuan, oh Gu Yuan…"
"You raised such a beautiful Girl, and in the end, she'll still benefit the Xiao Clan…"
Gu Yuan, however, shook his head helplessly: "Forget it…"
"We old fellows won't interfere in their youthful matters; let fate decide…"
Seeing Gu Yuan's rather helpless expression, Xiao Xuan felt incredibly pleased.
"You, the dignified Clan Leader of the Gu Clan, coming to this remote place again, don't you find it too troublesome…"
Xiao Xuan's smile was unstoppable as he asked in a deep voice.
Gu Yuan, however, looked at Xun'er and said softly: "I am the Clan Leader of the Gu Clan, but I am also Xun'er's father…"
"Now that Xun'er has reached a certain age, it's time for her to return to the Family to receive the Legacy…"
"I wasn't at ease with those two, so I made this trip personally…"
Xiao Xuan nodded upon hearing this, and spoke again:
"I think you're worried your daughter will be abducted by someone from my Xiao Clan…"
"In my opinion, you don't need to worry; it seems this Girl of yours already has her heart completely set on a descendant of my Xiao Clan…"
Gu Yuan could only sigh upon hearing this.
Then he slowly turned and looked at Xun'er, saying:
"Xun'er, it's time to return to the Ancient World…"
