883. Blood Vessel Abnormalities
The speed of a Dou Sheng-level expert is incredibly fast; they returned successfully in no time.
A wooden sign floated in the air, becoming the focus of everyone's attention.
The wooden plaque seemed to have a life of its own, and now there was a nine-colored flame phantom on it. However, all the elders of the ancient clan remembered that the original plaque belonged to Xun'er and had a full ten colors!
Although the nine-colored flames were still dazzling and demonstrated that Xun'er's bloodline was still powerful and extraordinary, the missing color was far too important to the ancient clan.
"What is Gu Qingyang good for? How could he let someone hurt Xun'er!" Gu Yu said angrily. The damage to Xun'er's bloodline touched the core interests of the Gu clan.
"Hehe, it's unreasonable to blame Gu Qingyang for this. Once Xun'er gets angry, can he control her?" A silver-haired old man next to Gu Yu added.
The elder then turned his attention to the wooden plaque and began to analyze it.
"Moreover, Xun'er only experienced a drop in bloodline level, without any other changes or threats to her life. It's highly likely that something happened in the Heavenly Tomb. As everyone knows, Xun'er is still young, and she still has a chance to return to the Divine Rank."
"What could possibly happen? Who in the Heavenly Tomb could threaten Xun'er's safety this time? The Soul Clan isn't making a move, Lei Dong of the Thunder Clan has some feelings for Xun'er, and there's also Gu Qingyang. Who else could it be?"
"With that brat from the Xiao clan inside, it's hard to say what might happen." An old man next to Gu Yu seemed to be at odds with him, almost always contradicting Gu Yu for every word he said. Moreover, there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
The moment Xiao Yan was mentioned, the entire hall fell silent, especially Gu Yu, whose expression turned extremely grim.
"If you ask me, we should never have let that Xiao clan brat in in the first place!" Gu Yu said angrily. "Now we've caused so much unnecessary trouble."
"With so many people from all eight clans here, are you planning to take action personally again? If you ask me, you shouldn't have targeted the Xiao clan in the first place."
Hearing this, Gu Yu was struck where it hurt. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up angrily, his beard and hair moving without wind: "Gu Dao, what do you mean? You did those things with the support of that person, don't you know? Don't you know how Xun'er was hurt?"
"Then I'll say it again: a Spirit Race member has taken the initiative to attack the Pill Tower, so what can we do if we intervene? As I said, if we had gone along with Xun'er's wishes from the beginning, she probably wouldn't have been hurt!"
"So what's next? Are we going to make Xun'er a widow for that boy?!"
Seeing the dispute between the two high-ranking elders escalate, the other ancient clan elders also frowned, but since the two were of such high status, they dared not intervene for the time being.
"Enough!" Just as the tension was about to escalate, a voice rang out, instantly suppressing Gu Dao and Gu Yu.
He was an elderly man who kept a low profile between Gu Dao and Gu Yu. When he spoke, both Gu Yu and Gu Dao fell silent.
"As elders of an ancient clan, your attitude towards such a major clan matter as the divine bloodline is truly unbecoming. What we need now is to discuss Xun'er's issue objectively."
Gu Dao said, "Speaking of Xun'er, it's still inseparable from that brat from the Xiao clan. You should know why Xun'er acted the way she did at the beginning of the Heavenly Tomb. It was just a Heavenly Tomb spot, which should have been hers, but Xun'er's choice says too much. If this matter isn't handled properly, Xun'er definitely won't have a proper talk with us."
"Then let's talk about how we should treat Xiao Yan if he comes out of the Heavenly Tomb," the first elder said slowly.
"That Xiao Yan is despicable! He killed an ancient demon first, and now he's jeopardizing Xun'er's bloodline. He's truly a major threat to our clan!"
At this moment, many other elders of the ancient clans also began to speak one after another: "It is already not easy to take action against that kid now, after all, Jiang Yunyan's attitude is obviously to support him."
"There's also the person who appeared last time, Yao Chen, the abandoned son of the Medicine Clan, and Shennong Elder, who are both currently in the Starfall Pavilion. They are both figures that cannot be ignored."
No matter how proud the ancient clans may be of their descendants as Dou Di, they must still be treated with respect once someone reaches the Dou Sheng realm. Moreover, neither Yao Chen nor Elder Shennong are simply Dou Sheng experts.
"Since it's not good to be enemies, is there any possibility of making friends? After all, Gu Yao is already dead, and Xiao Yan's talent and strength have already surpassed Gu Xing and Gu Hua. At present, it seems that only Qing Yang and Xun'er may be able to suppress him."
"Indeed, if we can win them over, they might become a powerful ally."
"It's easier said than done. That kid dared to kill an ancient demon directly. Trying to ease tensions with him won't be easy."
The ancient clan elders in the main hall were now struggling with how to deal with Xiao Yan. Whether to suppress him or appease him, things were not going to go smoothly, and the situation was becoming increasingly delicate.
The entity that had been suppressing Gu Dao and Gu Yu suddenly interrupted everyone: "Excuse me, everyone, the clan leader is already aware of this matter, and we no longer need to concern ourselves with it."
……
At the edge of the blood pool, Huo Zhi looked at Xun'er, whose aura was clearly weak and feeble, a complex expression flashing in her eyes—concern mixed with a barely perceptible admiration. She took a few steps closer and asked softly, "How are you? Are you alright?"
Xun'er managed a weak smile as she looked at Huo Zhi, her voice weak yet still gentle: "Don't worry, it's just a depletion of my source power. With some rest and recuperation, I'll recover eventually."
Xun'er spoke casually, but Huo Zhi and Lei Jingxiao, who was standing to the side, both knew that the damage from two consecutive depletions of one's source energy could not be easily repaired by a short rest.
Lei Jingxiao, who was on the side, also quickly searched his storage ring and found several extremely precious healing items. However, Xun'er had been injured in her essence before, and this time the damage was still to her essence. Ordinary methods would not be very effective. Xun'er symbolically accepted the two items that Lei Jingxiao gave her.
While the three were talking, Xiao Yan had already officially absorbed the bloodline of the Dou Di descendant in that pool. Under Xiao Xuan's control, the blood continuously merged into Xiao Yan's body.
The bloodline of the Dou Di was inherently quite domineering. After the previous blood draw, Xiao Yan was also quite weak. As soon as the blood entered, a pain that felt like his body was about to shatter overwhelmed him.
Even with Xiao Yan's willpower, his face instantly contorted in the face of such pain.
