"Xun'er?"
Han Feng smiled gently and looked at the girl. "Is there something you need?"
Gu Xun'er shook her head.
"Are you a little nervous about returning home after not being back for many years?"
Han Feng said with a smile.
"Actually, I also left my home in the Black-Corner Region for decades, so I understand this feeling."
Seeing that Han Feng was straying further and further from the point, Gu Xun'er pouted.
Taking advantage of a pause in Han Feng's speech, Gu Xun'er quickly said, "Mr. Han, after I return to the clan, the chances of seeing you will be very few."
Han Feng was taken aback, then nodded.
"Yes, but that's normal, right?"
Gu Xun'er clenched her hand slightly behind her back.
"Xun'er, you've grown up too. You should know that there are many things that have to be dealt with."
"Is Mr. Han going to do something?" Gu Xun'er asked.
"Can you tell Xun'er about it?"
Han Feng was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Sit."
He pointed to the seat in front of him.
Gu Xun'er sat down gracefully, her eyes somewhat aggressive. This was the first time she had shown such an expression in front of Han Feng.
Perhaps Han Feng's words just now made her feel uncomfortable.
Or perhaps, because they were about to part, she wanted to grasp something tightly.
But in short, this was a gaze with an offensive meaning.
"Some things, at this point, I won't hide from you anymore."
Han Feng sighed.
"Actually, meeting you at the Xiao family back then was an unexpected surprise for me."
"The Golden Emperor Heaven Burning Flame in your body explained your identity as a member of the Gu Clan, and also exposed your identity."
"At that time, I thought you might be a shortcut for me to contact the Gu Clan."
Gu Xun'er's pupils shrank slightly, and she clenched her jade hands, seemingly finding it hard to believe hearing this.
"So I stayed with you in the Xiao family for a few days. Originally, I just wanted to leave a good impression in your heart to facilitate future contact."
Speaking of this, Han Feng paused slightly, looking at Gu Xun'er with some guilt in his eyes.
"I just didn't expect..."
"Seeing you again twelve years later, not only have you not forgotten me, but you respect and love me so much. As an elder, I feel ashamed to receive it."
Meeting Han Feng's gaze, Gu Xun'er's heart trembled fiercely.
Elder.
Elder...
"The reason why I want to contact the Gu Clan is because in the future, there is a very powerful enemy that we need to face together. The sooner this time comes, the better."
"As for who it is, I'm sorry, I can't reveal it yet."
Han Feng was silent for a moment, then spoke again.
"Telling you this is just because I want to tell you everything about you and me. I am not a qualified elder, and you don't need to miss me so much."
Thump!
Suddenly, a soft body threw itself into Han Feng's arms.
Gu Xun'er hugged Han Feng tightly.
"Mr. Han, this is my own choice. I don't regret it!"
"You have never used Xun'er for anything, so it's impossible for you to make me leave you!"
Listening to the girl's touching words in his ear, Han Feng's eyes trembled slightly.
After a long time, he patted the girl's back.
"I understand. Give me some time. I will definitely stand in front of you as soon as possible. The Gu Clan will not be an obstacle between us."
Hearing Han Feng's words, Gu Xun'er relaxed completely, and Han Feng further felt the girl's softness.
This wonderful experience made Han Feng a little embarrassed, but his Dao heart was firm, and he did not have any romantic thoughts.
The little girl has finally grown up, and her assets are quite substantial.
Holding Gu Xun'er and comforting her for a while, she finally got off Han Feng.
The girl's face was flushed, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Han Feng.
"Mr. Han, I'm leaving first."
Han Feng smiled and nodded.
"Go."
Gu Xun'er turned around hurriedly and trotted out of the room.
Han Feng sat in place and let out a long sigh.
One more thing to be busy with.
But it can be considered a good thing.
Closing his eyes again, Han Feng circulated his cultivation technique, getting rid of distracting thoughts.
In his soul sea, a small black sword hovered slowly.
"Supreme Soul-Slaughtering Sword"
From the day his soul power broke through to the late stage of the Spirit Realm, Han Feng had been cultivating it until now. Although the process was extremely dangerous, he had successfully achieved minor accomplishment.
With this sharp sword, combined with soul power activation, even against a peak Dou Venerate, Han Feng had the confidence to fight.
The next day, the group headed towards the location of Ancient Saint City.
According to the location on the map, Han Feng chose to fly to a nearby large city first, and then take the spatial wormhole directly to the city closest to Ancient Saint City.
Inside the spatial channel.
Raging spatial power flowed at high speed. Without the protection of the space treasure ship, passengers would often face uncontrollable risks.
If one was hit by the spatial power, their entire body might disappear directly.
Although the space treasure ship could not isolate all risks, it was also a relatively safe choice.
However, this time, Han Feng and the others' luck didn't seem so good.
A spatial storm, the most feared crisis for space treasure ships, was gathering not far away.
Zi Yan sensed the danger in advance.
Han Feng immediately stood at the control position and began to stabilize the flying treasure ship.
"Why is the spatial storm getting bigger and bigger?"
Han Feng frowned.
It was already a very small probability to encounter one, but the scale was so large.
Something was unusual.
Han Feng looked to the side and asked Zi Yan to help control the ship, while he was responsible for calming the storm to avoid expanding the disaster.
"Zi Yan, Zi Yan?"
On the deck, Zi Yan stared blankly at the eye of the spatial storm, her small mouth slightly open.
"That, that is!"
Roar!
A loud and long dragon roar spread from the void.
The power of this dragon roar could even twist space. The surrounding flying treasure ships were tossed up and down.
"Ancient Void Dragon."
Han Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.
So that's it.
Following the dragon roars, a huge black dragon flew out from the eye of the storm. He quickly arrived above the treasure ship where Han Feng was, his dragon pupils staring at Zi Yan.
"Sir, please come down for a meeting."
Han Feng's voice was wrapped in Dou Qi and also transmitted in the void.
Feeling the fluctuation of this Dou Qi, the black dragon's pupils condensed. Then he slowly transformed into a burly human man, passed directly through the treasure ship's shield, and arrived on the deck.
His gaze remained fixed on Zi Yan as he slowly walked up to her.
"What is your name?"
"Zi Yan."
"Zi Yan..."
The burly man murmured softly.
"Are you my kinsman?"
Zi Yan asked quickly.
The burly man nodded.
"My name is Hei Qing. I am the guard captain of the Ancient Void Dragon clan."
"Ancient Void Dragon?"
Zi Yan heard this name again. Han Feng had mentioned it before.
"Is it that big black dragon just now?"
Hearing this, the burly man was slightly embarrassed.
"Indeed, but I look a bit dark. After you transform into your true form, you should be purple-gold."
After saying that, the burly man felt strange. "Why, do you not know the shape of your true form?"
"I accidentally ate Shape-shifting Grass and haven't been able to change back yet!"
Zi Yan pouted.
"But I seem to have some impression."
Before transforming, she still existed in dragon form and had seen her own appearance when passing by water.
"Shape-shifting Grass?"
The burly man frowned.
For such a thing to happen to a member of the royal family was a bit comical.
"Your Highness Zi Yan, come back with me. The elders will help you solve this problem."
Hearing this, Zi Yan did not agree immediately but looked at Han Feng.
Seeing this, the burly man also looked at Han Feng.
Originally, he didn't care about these human ants.
The aura of a peak three-revolution Dou Venerate spread slightly. The burly man tried to oppress Han Feng and make him obey.
Han Feng felt a huge pressure. Lin Xian'er and Gu Xun'er came up anxiously, but they couldn't even get close to Han Feng's body. There seemed to be an incredibly thick wall blocking the way.
Seeing this, Zi Yan also immediately stepped forward to help, and at the same time, the look she gave the burly man became hostile.
"What do you want to do?!"
The burly man was stunned when he saw Zi Yan scolding him.
"Your Highness..."
"You are not allowed to hurt him!"
Zi Yan stood in front of Han Feng. Although she was small, her momentum was quite sufficient.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"
The burly man laughed dryly.
He had taken it for granted.
This human man seemed to have a very unusual relationship with Her Highness.
Han Feng gently patted Zi Yan's shoulder, then looked at the burly man.
"Sir, may I ask if you are from Ancient Dragon Island?"
The burly man nodded.
"Which Dragon Island is it?"
Hearing this, the burly man's pupils shrank suddenly, and his aura uncontrollably pressed towards Han Feng again.
However, this time, a mysterious light flashed in Han Feng's eyes. A small black sword appeared in his soul sea, directly cutting through the opponent's aura.
"Supreme Soul-Slaughtering Sword"
The burly man turned pale with fright, feeling as if his body was about to be cut in half by a black sword. He hurriedly retreated and threw a punch.
However, the black sword acted on the soul. Although the soul power of the Ancient Void Dragon was much stronger than other magical beasts and echoed with the physical body, under the power of a Heaven Rank soul skill, it was still not enough.
In an instant, the black sword was pressed against the burly man's soul source. One step further, and it would seriously injure him, or even kill him body and soul!
The burly man had a premonition of this terrifying end and instantly dared not move.
"Sir, I have no malicious intentions."
Han Feng said slowly.
The burly man's heart beat wildly.
"I'll ask you again, which Dragon Island are you from?"
"East, East Dragon Island."
"How can you prove it?"
The burly man hummed and hawed, unable to come up with anything.
The next moment, the black sword spun in place.
"Speak!"
"It's in my storage ring!"
The burly man said quickly.
Han Feng took out his storage ring. His soul power directly blasted through the seal and searched inside.
Whatever he saw, Han Feng's expression paused slightly, and the look he gave the burly man became somewhat strange.
The burly man dared not look Han Feng in the eye and silently looked away.
Han Feng continued to search and finally found the token of East Dragon Island in the storage ring.
However, this couldn't completely prove the other party's identity.
Han Feng whispered an apology, then unhesitatingly activated a soul secret technique to interrogate the burly man's soul.
After confirming the answer again and again, Han Feng planted a small wisp of Heart Flame into the burly man's body to monitor his psychological changes, and then released him.
"Zi Yan, he is your kinsman, and from the side that supports you."
Zi Yan looked at the burly man who couldn't get up, hesitation in her eyes.
"Him?"
"Mm, it's not convenient for me to say more now. After you go back with him, remember to cultivate hard and don't slack off."
Zi Yan walked up to the burly man and kicked him twice.
"I don't like this big guy at all!"
"Aren't you going to see your kinsmen?"
"But he bullied you just now!"
"I bullied him back too."
Han Feng smiled and patted Zi Yan's head.
"Seriously, Zi Yan, if you want to go back, seize the opportunity now."
"Ancient Dragon Island is hidden. Even I would find it hard to locate. If I find the wrong place, it might be trouble again. Going back with him now is a relatively good choice."
Listening to Han Feng's analysis, Zi Yan nodded.
She was not a hypocritical person.
"Alright, then how do I find you?"
"Just use the token to contact me. And I will leave a mark on you, so I can go find you too."
Zi Yan nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay!"
Han Feng took out a pill, flicked it into the burly man's mouth, and woke him up.
"No!"
The burly man's thoughts stopped at the second before the black sword stabbed down. After regaining consciousness, he shouted immediately.
When he looked around, he found Zi Yan looking at him unhappily.
"Your Highness!"
"Hmph! Let's go quickly, back to that whatever Dragon Island."
"Yes."
The burly man glanced at Han Feng with some fear, dared not stay, and flew away from the treasure ship with Zi Yan.
Han Feng watched Zi Yan leave and breathed a sigh of relief. Actually, that burly man was quite strong. If he were given another chance, he might not be able to subdue him so easily.
"Master, did Zi Yan leave just like that?"
Lin Xian'er asked worriedly.
"Mm, returning to her own group has always been her goal."
Gu Xun'er looked in the direction Zi Yan left, thoughtful. So Zi Yan is an Ancient Void Dragon. But... what is her status?
Even in the Ancient Void Dragon clan, to be treated so respectfully by a peak Dou Venerate expert, her status must be extremely extraordinary, right?
"Let's set off too."
Han Feng repaired the treasure ship's shield and continued to advance in the spatial channel.
After going round and round, two days later, Han Feng saw the outline of that huge city.
"Xun'er, that is your home."
"Mm."
Gu Xun'er looked somewhat melancholic.
"Let's go, I'll send you into the city."
Han Feng took a deep breath, gathered enough power, and flashed directly in front of Ancient Saint City.
Seeing the huge treasure ship approaching, the Black Submerged Army on guard immediately became alert.
Han Feng flew down from the treasure ship with Gu Xun'er and landed slowly.
"Cultivate with concentration after you go back. Don't let your thoughts wander, understand?"
Gu Xun'er smiled mischievously.
"Sometimes I can't control it."
Han Feng was helpless.
Gu Xun'er smiled. "It would have been better if Mr. Han had come earlier."
"I'll do my best. After all, your clansmen look quite fierce."
Han Feng glanced at the fierce Black Submerged Army approaching slowly and said.
Gu Xun'er looked back, and the smile on her face faded.
She faced Han Feng again and said softly, "Mr. Han, I will miss you."
"Mm."
Han Feng nodded.
Gu Xun'er frowned, grabbed Han Feng's sleeve and shook it, acting coquettishly, "Mr. Han, you can't be so perfunctory!"
"I will miss you too."
"Hmph! That's more like it."
Gu Xun'er withdrew her hand and revealed a sweet smile.
"I'm leaving."
The girl took one last look at the man, then turned around and revealed a token to the group of Black Submerged Army soldiers.
Swish!
The sound of kneeling in unison rang out the next moment.
"Greetings, Eldest Miss!"
On the city wall, a person immediately flew over.
This was a handsome young man, clad in armor, with Dou Qi wings vibrating behind him.
"Miss Xun'er!"
Ling Quan said in surprise.
"You're finally back!"
Because they hadn't seen each other for many years, Ling Quan didn't recognize Gu Xun'er immediately, which led to the conflict just now.
"Return to the clan."
Gu Xun'er said coldly.
Ling Quan showed no dissatisfaction and respectfully led the way. The dark mass of troops automatically made way. A carriage galloped over, and Gu Xun'er got on.
Han Feng watched Gu Xun'er leave. Due to the conversation with Gu Xun'er just now, the other guards did not make things difficult for him.
Until the carriage entered the city gate and disappeared, Han Feng flashed back to the treasure ship.
"Xun'er has gone home."
Lin Xian'er stood beside Han Feng, feeling a little lonely in her heart.
The people around them left one by one. From the initial five, only two were left now.
Fortunately, Master was always by her side.
Lin Xian'er leaned closer to Han Feng to alleviate the loneliness in her heart.
"Master, where are we going next?"
Han Feng looked at the map.
"Eastern Xuan Continent."
