, Calm and Quiet. "Great Elder, is anyone following us?"
"Two Semi-Saints, well hidden. We're not sure where they come from."
"Only two?"
"How many more do you want, boy? A Dou Sheng's skeleton is precious, but it's just a skeleton. To a Dou Sheng, it's tasteless to eat, but a pity to discard. And those Semi-Saints, have you forgotten your own identities? The fact that two of them dared to risk offending Danta is quite outrageous."
Chen Guan was speechless after hearing the Great Elder's voice transmission. It seemed to be true...
"Tell me about what happened in the ruins. Did you encounter anyone from the Soul Palace?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Guan disclosed everything, including the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.
Upon learning that Chen Guan had offended the Tianming Sect, the Tianyao Phoenix Clan, and the Jiuyou Diming Python—three major factions—he fell silent.
He wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Ultimately, it was all due to the active targeting of these three factions; Chen Guan couldn't be blamed.
After a long pause, the Great Elder sighed deeply, and his hidden figure reappeared.
"I truly don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse to have Danta in your hands."
Back when he was at the Little Danta, he had anticipated some of the potential outcomes, but it seemed his predictions were a bit too conservative.
This conflict likely involved more than just Danta Soul Hall; it also involved most of the forces in Zhongzhou. Whichever side emerged victorious, the situation in Zhongzhou would be dramatically altered.
Watching the Great Elder emerge, Chen Guan was stunned and quickly glanced at the sky behind him.
"Don't look! They've left, boy. Eat one bite at a time, and take one step at a time. You might have offended three major factions once, and now you think a few more won't hurt. You've lost your mind."
It was clear that the Great Elder's appearance was intended to scare off the two Semi-Saints who were following him.
A force with such a powerful leader must be a Second Sect or Third Valley-level power, or perhaps a leading demonic beast race within the Beast Realm.
Since there's no grudge, there's no need to resort to sting operations and create unnecessary trouble.
Hearing the Great Elder's admonition, Chen Guan felt a wave of daze, a sense of clarity building.
Indeed, upon leaving the ruins, he'd figured that since he'd already offended top powers like the Sky Demon Phoenix and the Nine Nether Earth Python, any more wouldn't matter; he'd annihilate them all.
But now, thinking back, that thought was flawed.
"Thank you for your guidance, Great Elder. Chen Guan understands."
"Haha, don't feel guilty. At your age and experience, a bit of impulsiveness is perfectly normal. Besides, you've done a good job this time. While you've offended many forces, gaining the powerful external support of the Ancient Dragon Clan isn't a loss at all."
A smile graced the Great Elder's aged face, and he offered generous praise.
At this point, Danta had reached a point where it was impossible to retreat.
All he could do was to guide Chen Guan as best he could, preventing him from doing anything that would harm others and benefit
himself. He would protect him for a few years, hoping for the day when Chen Guan could truly stand on his own. Chen Guan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over Medusa, Little Medical Fairy, Skyfire Venerable, and the others. Unlike the Great Elder, they were also somewhat blinded by the situation and hadn't noticed the problem from the beginning.
At times like these, the usefulness of having a senior by your side becomes apparent. As the saying goes, "
An elder in the family is like a treasure.
" "Chen, young man, are you planning to head to the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan's territory?"
"Yes, Great Elder, for Zi Yan, I need to hunt down a powerful Dou Zun of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan to use as medicine, thereby maximizing the utilization of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit."
The Sky Demon Phoenix Clan wasn't as widespread in the Beast Domain as the Nine Nether Earth Python, but they were still quite numerous, making hunting them down easy.
The only consideration was the purity of their bloodline. Those who reached Dou Zun level were likely to have a high bloodline, more than enough.

As for the Dou Sheng…
sorry, I don't dare, and I don't have the ability.
He was going to hunt, not commit suicide.
"Rare items have special uses. I see. Leave this to me. This skeleton contains the remnant of a Dou Sheng. It could be used as a trump card, so keep it. Wait here, I'll be right back."
Without giving Chen Guan a chance to speak, the Great Elder vanished.
In the past, when he was ensconced in the Small Dan Pagoda, the Great Elder had no desire to participate in outside conflicts. But now, the situation was different. Having made a decision, the Great Elder was no pushover; he acted decisively.
Watching the Great Elder depart, the group exchanged glances, feeling a sense of comfort under a majestic tree. It
was a bit unusual, yet also a relief.
While waiting, Chen Guan pondered the matter of the Heavenly Rank Dou Skill.
Regardless, he wouldn't sit idly by, but to master it, he had to dispel the remnant of the Dou Sheng, a matter of some unease.
He didn't want to waste this trump card, nor did he want to delay learning Heavenly-level fighting techniques any longer...
This matter needed to be resolved.
Furthermore, Medusa's improvement was urgent.
There had been many battles in the ruins, but from beginning to end, Medusa had offered little assistance. This was extremely difficult for the always arrogant Medusa to accept.
Though she didn't express it, Chen Guan could sense her resentment.
The Nine Netherworlds, the home of the Nether Python Clan, the Nine Netherworlds!
With this thought, Chen Guan quickly made a decision.
...
The sky was vast, the wilderness was boundless, the sun and moon passed, and the day flew by in a flash.
After a whole day passed, and the Great Elder still hadn't returned, Chen Guan and the others began to worry.
Could it be that the Great Elder had just run into a Dou Sheng master from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan?
Otherwise, it was difficult to explain such a long delay.
"Wait until dawn. If the Great Elder hasn't returned, we'll go too. At least we can provide support from the outside, create chaos, and relieve the Great Elder of some of the pressure."
"Hahaha, that's not necessary. I'm not weak enough to need your rescue."
As Chen Guan finished speaking, the Great Elder's laughter echoed through the void.
Everyone was delighted and looked up. As space distorted, the Great Elder slowly stepped out and landed on the top of the mountain.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With several loud bangs, the corpses of six Sky Demon Phoenixes, each over ten feet long, were thrown out, piling up on the ground like a small mountain. From the outside, there were no visible wounds on them, indicating that they had all been killed by a single blow!
"I'm not sure how many Dou Zun-level Heavenly Demon Phoenixes you want, so I've simply killed the few I encountered along the way. This will weaken this clan's strength and prevent future trouble. This one is the strongest, an eight-star Dou Zun, this one is six-star, these two are four-star, and the remaining two have just entered Dou Zun. That's enough ."
As if responding to everyone's doubts, the Great Elder explained calmly, as if discussing a trivial matter.
But with the six Dou Zun-level corpses of Heavenly Demon Phoenixes as a backdrop, he seemed to be showing off.
"Enough, enough, more than enough! Great Elder, your majesty!"
Chen Guan exclaimed respectfully, making the Great Elder's smile even harder to conceal.
People always like to hear good things, regardless of age.
"Hurry and put it away. We can't stay here for long. The Sky Demon Phoenix Clan is very responsive. When I killed the third one, a Dou Sheng noticed it and has been tracking me ever since. Unfortunately, those of us in Danta are best at spiritual power. You think you can find me? That's just wishful thinking."
The Great Elder chuckled. From his expression, everyone seemed to see the frantic look of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan Dou Sheng, who was trying so hard to track it down, but was always one step behind. They all laughed unkindly.
It's deserved!
