Boom!
Just as Gu You finished speaking, a thunderclap suddenly resounded through the sky, followed by a trembling of space, and everyone could clearly hear a series of crackling and shattering sounds.
The heavy sense of oppression that weighed on their hearts dissipated.
The spatial blockade seemed to be broken?
"Ahem..."
A slightly disheveled figure emerged from the void. While the others were still trying to guess its identity, Jiu Feng cried out in surprise.
"Elder Feng Xuan!"
It was none other than the powerful Semi-Saint of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan who had secretly cooperated with Gu You to seal off the space.
Feng Xuan rubbed his chest with one hand, his face embarrassed. He turned back, forgetting to glance at the void behind him, his eyes filled with fear.
The ancient race lived up to its reputation!
"Let's go!"
Without hesitation, Feng Xuan scooped Jiu Feng up from below, ripped through space, and began to leave.
"Elder Feng Xuan..." Jiu Feng was filled with doubt.
"We'll talk about it when we get back."
Elder Feng Xuan shook his head slightly, having already decided not to get involved in today's fight.
When gods fight, mortals suffer!
He saw that Jiufeng was intent on completely siding with the Soul Clan, and he also understood how formidable an enemy that had endured a hundred reincarnations could become when it matured. However, before the Soul Clan made a commitment, the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan could not withstand further losses.
In a situation like today, staying any longer would only mean becoming cannon fodder.
It was not worth it!
Below, the spatial blockade was broken, and the group of Zhongzhou warriors, caught in the crossfire, abandoned all else and scrambled to escape the battlefield.
Everyone could see that today's situation had escalated dramatically. The clash between the two behemoths, the Ancient and Soul Clans, was such that even semi-saints retreated, let alone them.
Gu You ignored the group; his mission was simply to stop Chen Guan and Gu Xun'er.
The rest was none of his business.
He was more curious about which old immortal had arrived.
Chen Guan watched the two Sky Demon Phoenix Clan members step into the spatial rift and leave. His fingers traced his storage ring beneath his sleeve, but he ultimately let them go.
Compared to the threat posed by the Soul Clan, the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan was nothing.
Buzz~
The space rippled slightly, and a familiar figure walked out.
"Elder Tongxuan!"
Seeing the old man, Gu Qingyang and others hurriedly greeted him, feeling much more at ease.
In front of a strong man like Gu You, even though they were from the ancient clan, they still felt a lot of pressure.
Elder Tongxuan nodded with a smile, then shifted his gaze to Chen Guan, his eyes sparkling.
"Tongxuan, the ancient clan only let you come alone? You should know the importance of divine bloodlines. This girl killed the Soul Jade, and it would be difficult for you to take her away alone."
Gu You actually knew that with Gu Xun'er's status, unless the Soul Clan was truly determined to go to war with the ancient clan, it would be difficult to keep her, and there was a greater possibility that today would end in nothing.
But the ancient clan sent only one Elder Tongxuan, which was really a bit arrogant.
Upon hearing this, Elder Tongxuan smiled slightly.
"That's enough, that's enough," he said, turning to Chen Guan. "The clan leader has told me to tell you this: today's matter is over. You may return to the Ancient Clan to retreat and break through. Don't worry about anything else
." Seeing Elder Tongxuan's smile, Chen Guan realized that the often disheveled Ancient Clan leader was no mean feat. He simply seemed a bit ordinary compared to the heroic demeanor of the Soul Emperor.
Chen Guan would need to retreat for a period of time to break through to the semi-saint realm.
The Ancient Clan's willingness to provide him with a venue and shelter for his relatives and friends, Danta, undoubtedly alleviated his worries.
After all, with so many people, it was impossible for them all to hide on Dragon Island and wait for him to emerge. In Zhongzhou right now, Danta was simply too busy to leave.

Under such circumstances, standing with the Ancient Clan was undoubtedly the best option.
However, before doing so, Chen Guan needed to resolve the immediate crisis and secure a safe retreat for himself and Gu Xun'er.
Aside from Elder Tongxuan, Gu Yuan would not be sending any other powerful reinforcements today, leaving Chen Guan completely on his side.
Perhaps this was also an opportunity to gain insight into the strength of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan behind him.
Understanding the key points, Chen Guan knew he would inevitably reveal many of his cards today.
"Hehehe, since the Ancient Clan is so generous, I will not refuse. Take them back to the Soul Clan to atone for their sins. I believe they will enjoy it there."
Another old, cold voice suddenly echoed. A massive hand, condensed from Dou Qi, nearly a thousand feet across, appeared from the sky, reaching directly towards the group below.
Layer upon layer of this terrifying hand's might collapsed beneath the surface, and even with the strength of Gu You and Elder Tongxuan, they felt like they were stuck in a quagmire, struggling to move.
The younger generation struggled even more, gritting their teeth and energizing their fighting spirit to resist the terrifying, overwhelming pressure.
Each of them was considered a child of destiny, yet at this moment, they felt as fragile as an ant.
Golden flames emanated from Gu Xun'er's body, and the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame blazed fiercely, causing even Chen Guan to stare sideways.
Suppressing the restlessness of the strange fire within him, Chen Guan withdrew his gaze, radiating his vast spiritual power to relieve the pressure on those around him.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the phantom of a thousand-foot-tall alchemy furnace materialized, accompanied by a sound of spatial collapse, as it fiercely smashed towards the encroaching hand.
The two collided, a destructive storm erupting, countless spatial cracks forming, as if the entire world was about to be shattered.
Without hesitation, everyone swiftly fled to the periphery, soaring a thousand feet before pausing to look back.
In the distant sky, two elders also materialized, facing each other in mid-air.
There was no doubt that the old man in hemp clothes who attacked last was the Great Elder of Xiaodanta.
The Great Elder's face was stern, his gaze fixed on the man opposite him, not daring to relax even a little.
The old man opposite, clad in a black robe, was slightly stooped, clutching a dragon-headed cane. A look of surprise crossed his aged face, but it quickly faded, revealing a smile of interest.
Two Saints!
True Dou Shengs!
Gazing at the two elders from afar, some who had previously fled far away were horrified.
These were legendary beings, and now two had appeared at once!
Some of the more insightful individuals looked solemn. In the Central Plains, the unspoken rule of all major factions was that Dou Shengs were not allowed to appear. Now, that rule had been broken.
What did this mean?
It was a terrifying thought!
"Haha, I've heard there's a small Danta behind the Danta. I imagine you're one of them, right? Many in the clan are very interested in your ancestor. You must be of high status and should know something."
The black-robed elder spoke to himself, his eyes gazing at the Great Elder, as if he were considering how to capture him alive, not regarding him as a threat at all.
Such contempt betrayed his confidence.
The Great Elder snorted, and a powerful aura surged out, enveloping the black-robed elder.
"If the ancestor were to reveal himself, I could kill you with a flick of my hand!"
Simultaneously, Chen Guan, thousands of feet away, heard the Great Elder's voice.
"This man is already a three-star Dou Sheng. A single blow from me would require my full strength. It won't last long. Be prepared."
The higher the realm, the greater the gap between each sub-realm. Moreover, the Great Elder was originally an alchemist.
The Soul Clan was particularly adept at dealing with alchemists.
Chen Guan was silent, but he had no intention of retreating. He carefully sensed the void with his spiritual power. He was waiting, waiting for a bigger fish to appear.
Since he was bound to reveal some of his cards, he had to make the most of them and bite the Soul Clan hard!
