122. End of Chapter
With Lu Huangtian's death, Xiao Yan felt a long-lost sense of relief. Since he came to the Northwest Region to find Qing Lin, one thing after another had happened, especially this great battle where he faced life-or-death situations several times. Most of the time, he had relied on risking his life to get to where he is today.
With Lu Huangtian's death, most of the Xuanwen Sect members also perished in the self-destruction, and those who survived were no longer a threat.
Of the several Dou Zun powerhouses, Lu Huangtian was killed by Gu Yuan, Xu Ce was killed by Lu Huangtian, Shi Jiuyue died in Lu Ling's fatal blow, and Lu Chen died in the collective self-destruction. Shi Xiaogu, Yang Zhishuang, He Kui, and Jiang Ye were all seriously injured, but fortunately, they did not die in the previous battles. Given some time, Dou Zun powerhouses will soon be lively and powerful again.
Xiao Yan smiled secretly when he saw Xiao Xun'er beside him: "It's so good to be alive!"
Of course, because of Gu Yuan's presence, Xiao Yan could only watch and dared not do anything else.
With a thought, Gu Yuan and the three of them went directly to the gathering place of the four major forces. Because many Dou Huang and Dou Zong powerhouses had gathered there, the area did not suffer any major losses until the end, which can be considered as preserving the most important lifeline for the major forces.
Upon seeing Gu Yuan's arrival, everyone immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior!"
He resolved the problem of the strange fire with a mere gesture, and annihilated the Blood-Red Giant Eye and Lu Huangtian with a flip of his hand. This strength was enough to terrify everyone here! However, everyone here was shrewd, and seeing Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er's state, they knew that this person was not an enemy.
Gu Yuan nodded slightly, then walked to Jiang Ye's side. Jiang Ye's condition was extremely poor. Forcibly using the Soul-Locking Arrow three times had almost exhausted all his fighting spirit, and then, caught off guard, he had forcibly taken the direct attack of the blood-red giant eye with his own body. Moreover, as time passed, his inner demons began to affect him. Normally, he could use his abilities to delay the inevitable, but today his condition was simply too bad. If it weren't for Xiao Yan's forced rescue and the selfless sacrifices of the Heroes' Alliance, he might have already perished from the onset of his inner demons.
Gu Yuan came to Jiang Ye's side, and just as Wan Baishan was about to speak and ask for his help, Gu Yuan pointed his fingers and slashed in the air.
This slash seemed capable of splitting the entire world apart, but Jiang Ye remained seated cross-legged on the ground, unchanged. However, everyone vaguely felt that something had been destroyed.
Jiang Ye was surprised to find that the inner demons that were almost uncontrollable had completely disappeared!
He inspected the area repeatedly but found no trace of inner demons. The biggest burden of the Soul-Locking Arrow was thus resolved.
Jiang Ye's eyes shone with barely suppressed elation; "Thank you so much for your help, senior!"
The biggest side effect of the Soul-Locking Arrow was thus eliminated; even a fool could see that it must have been with the help of the mysterious and powerful Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan waved his hand gently and said, "It's alright. Speaking of which, I have a certain fate with this Soul-Locking Arrow. Today, I'm just returning the favor to an old friend!"
Then Gu Yuan said to Xiao Xun'er beside him, "Come back to the clan with me tomorrow."
After speaking, his figure vanished without a trace! The power of a Dou Sheng expert is terrifying indeed!
Although Gu Yuan disappeared without a trace, Xiao Yan stood there stunned, turning back to look at Xiao Xun'er beside him. The incomparably beautiful Xun'er smiled sweetly at Xiao Yan, but there was still a hint of loneliness in her eyes.
Parting is the most heartbreaking thing, especially for young people like Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er.
……
Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er sat side by side on a cliff outside Tianlan City. After today's unprecedented upheaval, many things in Tianlan City were almost paralyzed.
The only saving grace is that among the less than half of the remaining people, all are highly skilled experts, so although Tianlan City is now desolate, it still maintains basic order.
Without a doubt, within a year or two, it will once again become the most important city in the entire Northwest Region.
All of this seemed insignificant to Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er, who had remained silent for quite some time.
"Brother Xiao Yan!"
"Xun'er!"
The two spoke at the same time, then looked at each other and smiled. Xiao Xun'er gestured for Xiao Yan to speak first.
Ignoring Xiao Xun'er's shyness, Xiao Yan pulled her into his arms. Xiao Xun'er's beautiful eyes first showed a hint of surprise, then she let Xiao Yan hold her in his arms.
Xiao Yan almost greedily inhaled the sweet fragrance emanating from Xiao Xun'er, then solemnly gazed at her in his arms and said, "Xun'er, I will come to marry you!"
Hearing Xiao Yan's straightforward confession, Xiao Xun'er's face quickly flushed red, and she looked somewhat shy in Xiao Yan's arms.
But sensing the unwavering resolve in Xiao Yan's tone, Xiao Xun'er smiled genuinely, placing a hand on Xiao Yan's face and saying, "I believe in Brother Xiao Yan, I always have!"
Xiao Xun'er didn't say much at this moment, as her father's appearance had already directly introduced everything to Xiao Yan.
However, Xiao Yan did not hesitate. The Xiao Yan in front of her ignored strength, status, and background. Without any hesitation, Xiao Yan told her that he was coming to marry her.
This was exactly what Xiao Xun'er had been hoping for. When Gu Yuan appeared, she was worried that such a huge gap might discourage Xiao Yan. But now, Xiao Yan's actions proved to her that she hadn't misjudged him.
Xiao Xun'er lay obediently in Xiao Yan's arms, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, when you feel ready, come find me at the ancient clan in Zhongzhou!"
When Xiao Yan asked Xun'er about the power behind her, Xun'er always chose to avoid the question. Xiao Yan knew that this was also a way of protecting herself, so he didn't delve into it further.
But upon Xun'er's explanation, Yao Lao immediately clicked his tongue and exclaimed, "As expected of an ancient clan!"
Xiao Yan asked curiously, "Teacher, what kind of power is this ancient clan?"
The old doctor remained silent for a moment before explaining, "Knowing too much won't do you any good right now, but I can tell you this: whether it's the top experts in the Northwest Region or even myself at my peak, they were just ordinary figures in the ancient clans!"
Even with preparations, Xiao Yan was still extremely shocked. These powerful figures from the Northwest Region could be considered influential figures in any region of the continent, and Yao Lao was an unparalleled master of alchemy, whose status was far superior to that of ordinary people.
In the ancient race, they are just ordinary. There are probably few forces on the entire continent that can compare with the ancient race!
