Chapter 350 Gu Qingyang Ancient Demon

At the beginning, Gu Yuan, as the patriarch of the ancient clan, had a heavy responsibility and could not act rashly. He was worried that the entire ancient clan would be implicated, so he could not make up his mind to help Xiao Xuan.

But now the situation is different. Since Xiao Ling and his daughter are in love, he naturally has a good reason to help.

If Xiao Ling does not have that ability, then becoming the son-in-law of the ancient clan is also a good choice. After joining the ancient clan, Xiao Ling will also be trained with emphasis, and his future achievements will also be limitless.

And whether he can break through the Dou Sheng before the age of fifty is the standard used by Gu Yuan to measure Xiao Ling.

Xun'er knew her father's plan, but she also knew that this matter was of great importance and could not be told to Xiao Ling directly, so as not to bring him unnecessary pressure.

Therefore, she only mentioned this matter lightly and did not reveal the specific details. She believed that as long as Xiao Ling knew that there was such a goal, it would be enough to motivate him to keep moving forward.

"Don't worry, Xun'er, it won't take that long. I will definitely meet your father's expectations." Xiao Ling gently rubbed Xun'er's head, with a confident smile on his face and a firm tone.

"Yeah, I always believe that Brother Xiao Ling can do it." Xun'er felt the tenderness coming from above her head, and her heart was filled with peace. She snuggled into Xiao Ling's arms, enjoying the warmth and support.

Xiao Ling also took the opportunity to hug Xun'er tightly in his arms, and the two hugged quietly for a while.

The air around seemed to become warm, and time seemed to stand still at this moment. Only two hearts were communicating quietly, and each other's beliefs and affection were transmitted silently.

"It seems that the Lantern Festival has ended, and those tourists have begun to disperse." Xun'er leaned on Xiao Ling's shoulder and said softly, her eyes looking into the distance, looking at the gradually sparse crowd.

Looking down from where they were, the bustling crowds on the streets of Xinlian City had begun to slowly disperse, the lights of some shops were gradually extinguished, and the vendors began to close their stalls one after another.

"In that case, let's not stay here, let's find a place to have a good rest." Xiao Ling nodded and suggested.

"The people in the clan have prepared a place for us to stay in Xinlian City, brother Xiao Ling, let's go there to rest." Xun'er said, with a hint of warmth and expectation in her voice.

"Since Xun'er has arranged everything, let's go there. I haven't had a good rest for a while, and I've been busy all day today, and I do feel a little tired." Xiao Ling said, with a hint of relaxed smile in his tone.

The two continued to chat there for a while, enjoying each other's company and this quiet night. Afterwards, Xun'er took Xiao Ling and walked hand in hand to their temporary residence in Xinlian City.

The lights on the street were soft, reflecting their figures walking side by side. At this moment, the hustle and bustle around has gradually subsided, leaving only the occasional night breeze and the dim lights in the distance.

Xun'er led Xiao Ling through the stone-paved alleys, and the footsteps of the two seemed particularly crisp in the quiet night.

Soon, Xiao Ling and Xun'er came to an elegant courtyard located in the center of Xinlian City.

This courtyard is not only located in the most prosperous area of ​​Xinlian City, but also covers a very large area. Obviously, a lot of financial resources were spent when it was built.

In the central area of ​​Xinlian City, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, having such a spacious space is enough to show the luxury and expensive living conditions, especially during grand festivals such as the Lantern Festival, the price is even higher.

However, for the wealthy ancient clan, this is just a piece of cake, just a sprinkle of water.

In the courtyard, there are exquisite wooden attics scattered in an orderly manner, each of which shows its owner's pursuit of quality of life with its unique style and exquisite craftsmanship.

These attics surround the center of the courtyard, like stars surrounding the moon, making the tallest wooden attic in the center stand out.

This central attic not only surpasses the surrounding buildings in height, but also becomes the focus of the courtyard with its magnificent momentum and exquisite architectural art.

Each floor of it cleverly utilizes space, making it look like a beautiful painting from any angle.

The wooden structure exudes a soft luster under the moonlight, blending harmoniously with the surrounding environment, becoming a beautiful landscape in the courtyard.

At this time, the environment in the courtyard is particularly quiet. Although no human figures can be seen from the outside, soft lights can be glimpsed in some rooms.

There is silence all around, no noise can be heard, only the occasional breeze blows by, bringing a hint of coolness, making people feel a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

The gate of the courtyard is open, as if inviting passers-by to peek into the mystery inside.

Through this door, you can vaguely see the well-arranged buildings inside. They stand quietly in the night, exuding a mysterious and peaceful atmosphere.

There is no guard in front of the door, and it is quiet all around, which is particularly unusual in the bustling Xinlian City.

However, although the door is open, no one dares to step in rashly. Even those passers-by only cast a curious glance, then quickly look away and continue their journey.

After all, everyone knows that such a place is not for casual entry.

A few days ago, Xinlian City became very lively because of the approaching Lantern Festival. People of all kinds poured in, including those who are powerful or wealthy.

They all hope to find a place in this courtyard and enjoy the prosperity of the festival.

But those who tried to enter the courtyard for negotiation were ruthlessly expelled without exception, and some were even severely punished.

According to rumors, two outstanding disciples from Huangquan Pavilion were directly abolished for their arrogant words, and then ruthlessly thrown into the street. The scene was really terrible.

This incident quickly spread in the city. After this incident, no one dared to disturb the tranquility of this courtyard.

The gate of the courtyard is still open, but that is only for those who are allowed to enter. For others, the open gate seems to be an invisible barrier, reminding them that this place is inviolable.

Everyone is guessing that they don’t give face to the forces like Sifang Pavilion at all. Whose forces are temporarily living in this courtyard now?

However, no matter how they guess, there is no definite answer. After all, the mystery of the ancient clan is not something these people can understand.

When Xiao Ling and Xun'er came to the gate of this courtyard hand in hand,

Suddenly, with a "swish", two figures in green clothes appeared on both sides of the gate like phantoms.

"Miss Xun'er."

As soon as the two guards of the ancient clan appeared, they immediately knelt on one knee to Xun'er and bowed their heads to salute, with uniform voices.

This sudden scene made Xiao Ling and Xun'er stop at the same time.

"No need to be polite, get up."

Xun'er nodded slightly, waved her hand, and said in a neutral tone.

Xiao Ling stood aside and witnessed all this, and couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

As the eldest lady of the ancient clan, Xun'er's style is really extraordinary.

Xiao Ling's eyes fell on the two guards of the ancient clan. They all looked about 25 years old, but their cultivation had reached the realm of half-step Dou Zong.

If it were in Zhongzhou, such strength would definitely be regarded as a genius. Those disciples who were considered outstanding in the Sifang Pavilion were only at this level. But in the ancient clan, such cultivation can only guard the gate.

Tsk tsk, the background of the imperial family is really terrifying.

Hearing Xun'er's instructions, the two guards immediately stood up, and their eyes were full of respect when they looked at Xun'er.

However, when the two noticed that Xun'er was holding hands with a man, they couldn't help showing surprise on their faces, and their eyes were full of disbelief. Then, they looked at Xiao Ling with obvious hostility.

In the ancient clan, although the relationship between Xun'er and Xiao Ling is not a secret, there are not many people who know it. At least only high-level personnel such as the commander of the Black Annihilation Army or the alternate commander know about it.     These ordinary guards don't know the situation of Xiao Ling and Xun'er. They just followed Xun'er out this time, and they don't know the real purpose of Xun'er leaving the ancient clan this time.

Seeing Xun'er and Xiao Ling holding hands, they instinctively thought that some ignorant little white face was hooking up with the eldest lady of the ancient clan, and naturally a sense of disgust surged in their hearts.

Although they knew that Miss Xun'er was not something that ordinary guards like them could reach, she was also not someone that any pretty boy could easily approach.

Although the two guards were full of doubts and dissatisfaction, they knew their identities and status and did not question them. They just stared at Xiao Ling with an extremely complicated look.

Xiao Ling and Xun'er also naturally felt the gazes of the two guards. Xiao Ling felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn't help but feel a little proud. Xun'er didn't have any special reaction, but instead found Xiao Ling's embarrassment quite interesting.

After the two exchanged glances, they didn't stay at the door for long and walked into the courtyard hand in hand.

After they left, the two guards immediately began to discuss in a low voice.

"Am I seeing this right? Miss Xun'er was really holding hands with a man just now?" One of the guards rubbed his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.

"I saw it too. It's unbelievable. I heard that Miss Xun'er is relatively kind in the clan, but she always keeps a distance from her suitors. None of the young talents in the clan can impress her. This time, she actually got together with a pretty boy." Another guard was also shocked.

"Hiss, this won't do. How can the eldest lady of our ancient clan be deceived by a pretty boy of unknown origin?"

"Let's go, we have to tell the commander about this news quickly. Someone has to teach that pretty boy a lesson and let him know that the eldest lady of the ancient clan is not someone he can approach casually."

...

Xiao Ling and Xun'er stepped into the courtyard, and Xun'er naturally led Xiao Ling to the most conspicuous wooden attic in the center of the courtyard.

As the most distinguished person among the group, Xun'er's residence is undoubtedly the most exquisite and gorgeous.

Along the way, they also met several members of the ancient clan. When these members saw Xun'er, they immediately showed a respectful demeanor and saluted her.

Then, their eyes turned to Xiao Ling, and their eyes were exactly the same as those of the guards before, full of surprise and disbelief.

At first, Xiao Ling felt a little strange about this kind of look, but as more and more people cast such a look, he gradually became less concerned.

Xiao Ling and Xun'er did not stop, they continued to stroll leisurely, chatting casually while walking.

In the courtyard, the moonlight sprinkled on the bluestone path, and the flowers and trees on both sides swayed gently in the breeze, exuding a faint fragrance.

Xun'er nodded to the tribesmen she met from time to time. Her posture was elegant and calm. Under Xun'er's guidance, Xiao Ling gradually relaxed and began to appreciate the beautiful scenery in the courtyard.

The conversation and laughter between the two seemed particularly warm in the quiet night. Their steps cast long shadows under the moonlight, and they moved forward slowly.

Not long after, after going around a few corners, Xiao Ling and Xun'er quickly arrived at the tallest wooden loft in the center of the courtyard.

However, there were two men standing on the steps of the attic. They seemed to be waiting for the arrival of Xun'er and Xun'er.

The man standing on the left has fair skin, handsome appearance, and short black and white hair, giving people a strong visual impact. His temperament was cold, as if it were a piece of black ice that would never melt for thousands of years, and the cold and killing intent emanating from his body made people shudder.

When you first see this person, you can feel that he is definitely not an easy person. He has extraordinary strength. At first glance, he is a difficult character.

The man on the right is completely different. He has long black hair tied into a high ponytail.

He was wearing a simple green shirt and had a handsome face, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling, like a handsome young man. Dressed like this, if you don't look carefully, your first impression would be that he is a scholar.

As soon as he saw these two people, Xiao Ling's eyes became sharp, and he immediately realized that they were not ordinary people.

The soul perception of Dzogchen in the spiritual realm reached out to the two of them, and immediately detected their cultivation levels without letting them notice.

The cold-tempered man on the left has reached the Douzun level. When he looked at Xun'er, there was a hint of gentle admiration in his eyes, but when he turned to Xiao Ling, the hostility in his eyes was undisguised.

The personable and elegant man on the right has an even more unpredictable level of cultivation. He has obviously reached the second level of Dou Zun, and his aura is extremely powerful. It seems that he may break through to the third level of Dou Zun at any time.

Unlike the man on the left, when he looked at Xiao Ling, his eyes did not show any hostility and seemed relatively calm.

"Tsk, it seems that they are only twenty-seven or seventy-eight years old, but they have already achieved such cultivation, and their status in the ancient tribe must be not low. They are probably the commanders or commanders of the Black Annihilation Army, but they are not I know which two they are.”

Xiao Ling thought a few words secretly, looked at the two of them casually, and then withdrew his gaze, but did not show too much interest.

"Miss Xun'er."

When Xun'er and Xiao Ling approached, the two men knelt down on one knee at the same time and gave Xun'er a standard courtesy.

"No need to be polite, get up, Gu Qingyang, Gu Yao, why are you two here? Is there something going on?" Xun'er nodded slightly and asked in an indifferent tone.

Hearing Xun'er call out their names directly, Xiao Ling immediately understood their identities. Two of the four major rulers of the Ancient Clan, Gu Yao and Gu Qingyang, both have excellent cultivation talents and the Dou Emperor bloodline is also very strong. They are both the best among the younger generation of the Ancient Clan.

Gu Yao remained silent and did not speak, while Gu Qingyang showed a warm smile and replied,

"We are here to inform Miss Xun'er that there is news from the clan. The elders hope that you can go back as soon as possible. They are worried that you will encounter something unexpected outside."

After hearing this, Xun'er frowned slightly and said in a somewhat unhappy tone,

"I just came out not long ago, why are you rushing me so quickly? Okay, I understand. Let's talk about going back in a few days. If there is nothing else, you can leave first, I need to rest."

"I also want to get acquainted with this friend when I come here this time. I guess this is the famous Master Xiao Ling, right? I have long heard about the reputation of Brother Xiao Ling, and when I saw him today, he is indeed the best among men."

Gu Qingyang did not leave in a hurry, but turned his gaze to Xiao Ling beside Xun'er, and spoke with a gentle smile.

Xiao Ling also smiled slightly and responded, his attitude was neither arrogant nor humble: "Hey, I am Xiao Ling. Brother Qingyang is overrated. I think you are also a hero among people, and you must be outstanding among the ancient tribes. Young talents.”

Xiao Ling's tone was quite polite. Although he didn't know what the purpose of this person was in looking for him, after all, the other party behaved kindly, so naturally he would not treat him coldly.

After a slight pause, Xiao Ling continued: "But it's getting late today. Xun'er and I are both a little tired and need to rest early. Therefore, I'm afraid I can't talk to Brother Qingyang anymore."

After saying that, Xiao Ling took Xun'er's hand and walked towards the wooden attic, preparing to rest with Xun'er.

Xiao Ling did feel a little tired, and he hadn't slept with Xun'er for a long time.

The thought of being able to hug the grown-up Xun'er to sleep filled Xiao Ling's heart with anticipation.

Although it is said that Xun'er's perfect body cannot be broken, it is still possible to do other things, which Xiao Ling is looking forward to.

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Gu Qingyang didn't know how to respond for a moment, and finally chose to remain silent.

However, just when Xiao Ling and Xun'er were about to walk past Gu Yao and Gu Qingyang, Gu Yao suddenly took action and quickly grabbed Xiao Ling's shoulder.

The sound of breaking wind sounded behind Xiao Ling. Although the ancient demon's movements were fast and sudden, Xiao Ling immediately noticed this move with his powerful soul perception.

Soul power quickly spread out from the center of his brows, condensing into an invisible giant hand, which collided violently with the hand extended by the ancient demon.
