"Xiao Ze!"
Accompanied by the sound of the wind, Xun'er's voice echoed.
Xiao Ze turned around and saw Xun'er rushing over, her face tight with worry and her beautiful eyes filled with concern. He couldn't help but smile.
"Brother Xiao Ze, my father didn't give you a hard time, did he?" Xun'er asked nervously.
"No, Clan Leader Gu Yuan didn't interfere in our relationship. He only mentioned the opinions of some Gu Clan elders," Xiao Ze replied.
Hearing this, Xun'er sighed in relief and gently patted her chest. "Father doesn't oppose us? That's really great!"
A joyful smile spread across Xun'er's face. As the leader of the Gu Clan and one of the peak powerhouses on the Dou Qi Continent, Gu Yuan's words carried enormous weight within the clan. If he didn't accept their relationship, the pressure on Xun'er would be unimaginable.
"But Clan Leader Gu Yuan did have one request for me."
Curious, Xun'er tilted her head slightly and looked at Xiao Ze. Xiao Ze grinned and leaned closer to her ear, whispering softly.
"Clan Leader Gu Yuan wants you to remain chaste until you reach Dou Sheng."
Upon hearing this, Xun'er's delicate face turned a deep shade of red, and she gave Xiao Ze a playful glare. "Why would Father tell you something like that?"
"Well, he's worried that we might act impulsively since your bloodline isn't stable yet..." Xiao Ze said, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
Xiao Ze held Xun'er's soft hand, enjoying the peaceful time alone together on the green peak.
...
Elsewhere, outside the Gu Realm, Hun Ya and his group were meeting with a figure shrouded in black mist.
"Greetings, Elder Hun Duan!" they said in unison. The young members of the Hun Clan, who had been so mysterious in the Gu Realm, now appeared exceptionally respectful before this shadowy figure.
"Hehe, who would have thought the Gu Clan would have a divine-grade bloodline owner? If she grows up, she will definitely disrupt our plans," came a hoarse, ghostly laugh from within the black mist.
"And that descendant of the Xiao Clan... to think a clan we believed to be completely depleted of its bloodline has produced such a genius. This is unacceptable!"
"Let's use this opportunity to enter the Heaven Tomb and make sure they die as a pair of doomed lovers," the voice of Elder Hun Duan concluded. The black mist surrounding his body surged and then moved towards Hun Ya.
A chilling sound of corrosion echoed through the space, causing the other young members of the Hun Clan to shiver with fear, but none dared to speak.
Hun Ya's face showed terror, his mouth open wide, but no sound came out. He could only watch as the black mist poured into his body. He lost all control over his body and even his senses, heightening his terror.
The black mist completely merged with Hun Ya's body, and the figure of Elder Hun Duan disappeared. Moments later, Hun Ya's eyes opened, now filled with a dark, eerie aura.
"Hehehe... this young body feels quite good," Hun Ya said, but it was Elder Hun Duan's voice.
The other members of the Hun Clan trembled with fear at the eerie sight. Even within their clan, this level of possession was rare and terrifying. Despite their expertise in manipulating and enslaving souls, this scene chilled them to the bone. Especially since Elder Hun Duan had no qualms about using his own clan members.
"Hun Li, you and Hun Ya have the spots to enter the Heaven Tomb, correct?" Elder Hun Duan's voice asked.
Gulping, Hun Li quickly replied, "Yes, Elder Hun Duan."
Having killed many Gu Clan strongmen, Hun Li was normally fearless, but even he was deeply afraid of the eerie Elder Hun Duan, who had just possessed Hun Ya without hesitation.
"Good. Typically, high-star Dou Shengs from the Gu Clan don't enter the Heaven Tomb. It's usually handled by ordinary elders. This possession technique should help us blend in unnoticed," Elder Hun Duan said thoughtfully. Once inside the Heaven Tomb, his task would be easier.
...
Two days later, Xiao Ze and his group rode the unicorn back to the depths of the Holy Mountain Range.
"The entrance to the Heaven Tomb is in the depths of the Holy Mountain Range, a forbidden area for the Gu Clan. It's only open to outsiders when the Heaven Tomb is activated," Xun'er explained to Xiao Ze and the others. "The Heaven Tomb has three levels. The first level's energy bodies are mostly below three-star Dou Zun, wandering without consciousness. The second level's energy bodies range from three-star to eight-star Dou Zun, making them more challenging to handle. The third level's energy bodies are at the peak Dou Zun level, and some were even Dou Sheng level in life. These are very difficult to deal with, possessing intelligence and memories of their combat skills and experiences."
"Brother Xiao Ze, the tomb of the Xiao Clan's ancestor, Xiao Xuan, is in the depths of the third level. It's filled with powerful energy bodies, and even our clan members rarely venture deep into it."
After Xun'er's detailed introduction, Xiao Ze nodded, eager for the upcoming Heaven Tomb trip. With his soul at the peak of the Heaven Realm, he wondered if this would be an opportunity to touch upon the Emperor Realm soul level.
As they conversed, the unicorn flew into the depths of the Holy Mountain Range, and Xiao Ze sensed the presence of other ancient clan members. After about ten minutes of flying, the unicorn stopped in a rugged mountain area. Xiao Ze saw many strongmen from the ancient clans, including Mang Tianchi, who greeted him. Xiao Ze returned the greeting with a smile.
But when Xiao Ze's gaze fell upon the Hun Clan members, his eyes narrowed slightly. The few figures from the Hun Clan floated in the air, exuding an unapproachable aura. The cold, eerie energy emanating from them made others keep their distance.
Using his peak Heaven Realm soul perception, Xiao Ze found Hun Ya's aura odd. Although the soul's fluctuations still seemed like Hun Ya's, Xiao Ze suspected the person under the cloak might have changed.
