Xiao Fan's indifference to the magical beast aura in the ancient forest drew frequent attention from a group of powerful figures.
"Whose general is this, so brave?"
A Dou Zun expert with a beard looked at Xiao Fan flying through the air with a hint of surprise on his face.
There are indeed eighth-tier magical beasts in the ancient forest, but even they dare not openly leap through the forest.
Xiao Fan's demeanor was clearly a deliberate provocation, and the magical beasts in the ancient forest would likely not let it go.
Just as he was about to continue checking, several more auras of Dou Zun powerhouses emanated, chasing after the direction Xiao Fan had left.
Seeing Huang Luo and the others chasing after Xiao Fan, the Dou Zun showed a hint of surprise on his face, and then his eyes flickered.
Those who can enter the ancient ruins are not fools. Seeing Huang Luo and the others so openly pursuing Xiao Fan, they all guessed that Xiao Fan probably had something they couldn't give up.
The fact that so many Dou Zun experts were willing to besiege and kill Xiao Fan, even at the cost of other treasures in the ruins, has piqued the interest of many experts in the items they are fighting for.
Seeing Huang Luo and the others chasing after the group, many powerful figures gave up their plans to watch the show after some thought. However, some people still followed behind with ulterior motives, wanting to see if they could take advantage of the chaos.
"Xiao Fan, you're right here in the ruins, where can you possibly run to?"
Huang Luo looked at Xiao Fan in front of her, her brows furrowed.
"I keep my word. As long as you hand over the items, I promise I won't make things difficult for you."
Huang Luo looked at Xiao Fan in front of him. If the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit hadn't been so important, potentially changing the balance between the Ancient Void Dragon Clan and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, he wouldn't have been so humble in communicating with Xiao Fan.
However, Xiao Fan, who was fleeing ahead, completely ignored Huang Luo and her group behind him.
It flickers continuously in the ancient forest.
The eighth-tier magical beasts, provoked by Xiao Fan, also exuded a fierce aura. After Xiao Fan left, Huang Luo and her group, who followed behind, became their punching bags.
"Damn boy!"
Huang Luo looked at Xiao Fan, who had already completely disappeared into the distance, and a hint of annoyance appeared on her face. However, at this point, she could only deal with the eighth-order magical beast in front of her first.
"boom!"
The majestic bloodline power unique to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan emanated, causing the attacking eighth-tier magical beast to pause. Taking advantage of this brief opening, the three Dou Zun powerhouses behind Huang Luo rushed forward.
A terrifying aura emanated from them, firmly controlling the eighth-tier magical beast.
After this brief delay, Xiao Fan's aura completely disappeared from Huang Nuo's perception.
Huang Luo turned her head back with a look of resentment, her eyes revealing anger as she looked at the eighth-order magical beast controlled by the three of them.
"boom!"
Even eighth-tier magical beasts vary in strength. In front of Huang Luo, a second-stage Dou Zun, this magical beast was like a child.
A strange purple light flashed in Huang Luo's eyes. The body of the demonic beast in front of her gradually withered, and a thick, bloody aura emerged from its body, which then fell into Huang Luo's mouth.
"Humph!"
Huang Luo snorted coldly, then flew towards the depths of the ruins. The others followed, continuing to search for valuable items within the ruins, and their haul was not bad.
As for Xiao Fan, no matter where he runs, he will eventually leave the ruins. When that happens, they can block him and still obtain the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit.
At the edge of the ancient forest, Xiao Fan shook off Huang Luo behind him and then stepped into the forest through a passage.
Although he didn't know the exact location of the main hall, he could still discern a general direction.
Following the passage in front of him, winding and turning like a maze, Xiao Fan finally arrived at a spacious hall.
At this moment, many powerful figures had already appeared in the main hall. When they saw Xiao Fan who had just arrived, they only glanced at him briefly and then said nothing more.
Stepping into the main hall, Xiao Fan looked at the group of powerful figures sitting around a stone in front of him, then looked deeper into the hall.
More than ten puppets, comparable to Dou Zun experts, stood indifferently in place.
Behind these puppets, within a sealed light screen, ten clusters of energy radiating brilliant light danced in mid-air.
Everyone assumed that one of the ten orbs of light in mid-air was a Heavenly Rank Battle Technique.
However, Xiao Fan's gaze fell deeper, to the flawless white jade puppet sitting on the high platform.
"The remains of a Dou Sheng powerhouse..."
Who would have thought that the ten orbs of light in the main hall were merely a trick by the Creation Saint to deceive everyone, while the real Heaven-Rank Battle Technique was engraved on his ribs.
Golden light flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes as he activated his Golden Eyes to their fullest extent, focusing his gaze on the white jade skeleton.
However, perhaps due to the obstruction of the formation, Xiao Fan was unable to see through the changes on the skeleton.
Chapter 257 The Formation Breaks
Inside the main hall, Xiao Fan's gaze fell upon the remains of the Dou Sheng in front of him, but the golden light flowing in his eyes could not penetrate the array's interception.
"However, Xiao Fan was not disappointed at all, after all, he was the only one who knew that Heaven-rank fighting techniques existed in the bones of Dou Sheng."
Xiao Fan chose a spot in the main hall, sat cross-legged, and waited, his gaze sweeping over the powerful figures from various factions in the hall.
"Young friend Xiao Fan, we meet here again!"
Just then, at the entrance of the main hall, the group from Burning Flame Valley, led by Tang Zhen, entered the main hall.
Tang Zhen's gaze immediately fell on Xiao Fan in the corner, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes. He then led the group from Burning Flame Valley toward Xiao Fan's location.
Xiao Fan nodded slightly when he saw Tang Zhen.
Tang Zhen led,
The group from Burning Flame Valley waited quietly not far from Xiao Fan, watching the ten orbs of light sealed within the formation and feeling the weakening aura of the formation. Everyone knew that the formation was not yet ready to be opened.
As time passed, various forces finally arrived at the main hall.
After Huang Luo and her group from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan entered the main hall, their eyes scanned the crowd and soon spotted Xiao Fan in the corner.
A sinister smile appeared on Huang Luo's face, but looking at the ten orbs of light within the formation, Huang Luo knew that this was not the best time to make a move.
Finally, Xiao Fan didn't have to wait too long, as Xiao Yan and Venerable Tianhuo appeared inside the hall.
On Xiao Yan's shoulder, a small, snow-white beast lay prostrate, its dark eyes constantly scanning the people inside the hall.
"Brother!"
The moment Xiao Yan saw Xiao Fan, a look of excitement appeared on his face. With a deep aura of heavenly fire, the Venerable and the little beast on his shoulder walked in opposite directions.
Behind Xiao Fan was a mysterious powerful figure shrouded in a black robe.
Xiao Fan knew that the figure shrouded in black robes was Qing Lin from the Mo Tie Mercenary Group.
And now, the mysterious human powerhouse who has turned the entire Nine Netherworld Python clan upside down is Qing Lin.
Xiao Fan saw Xiao Yan nod slightly. As for the snow-white little beast on Xiao Yan's shoulder, Xiao Fan knew that it was a fully formed eighth-grade pill.
However, Xiao Fan had no desire for this pill whatsoever.
However, his gaze fell on Qinglin, and he felt a little curious about the legendary Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil.
"Senior brother......"
Noticing Xiao Fan's gaze, Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly, and he used telepathy to explain everything to Xiao Fan.
Hearing Xiao Yan's noise, Xiao Fan nodded as if he understood, and gave Qing Lin a kind smile.
Qinglin also remembered Xiao Fan. Although the two had never met, she trusted Xiao Yan.
With the arrival of Xiao Yan's people, almost all the major forces that had entered the ruins had also arrived.
However, Xiao Fan knew that there was another very important force preparing to attack outside the main hall.
Soul Palace!
However, the people from other factions were unaware of the existence of the Soul Palace. Looking at the various factions in the arena, the faces of the people from the Heavenly Nether Sect darkened.
Currently, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is the most powerful among these ruins. Although there are frictions between the major forces, they have all exchanged glances at each other.
Even though the Heavenly Nether Sect and the Burning Flame Valley have some grudges against each other, they now show a tendency to cooperate.
After all, Huang Luo, a second-stage Dou Zun, is probably unmatched in the arena.
Meanwhile, Tang Zhen, standing beside Xiao Fan, quietly transmitted his voice to him: "The Heavenly Phoenix Clan has aroused suspicion among everyone..."
Upon hearing Tang Zhen's words, Xiao Fan showed a look of surprise, then glanced at the strength of everyone in the hall and a subtle smile appeared on his face.
He hadn't thought of this before, but with Huang Luo's appearance, the balance of power among the various forces in the hall had been broken. If they didn't join forces, Huang Luo would probably be invincible except for himself.
However, Xiao Fan was naturally pleased with this outcome.
The group of Heavenly Phoenix Clan members in the main hall naturally noticed everyone's apprehension, but Huang Luo did not show any reaction at this time. After all, he couldn't sacrifice himself to maintain the balance, could he?
"Hehehehehe............"
Just as the atmosphere inside the hall became increasingly subtle and everyone began to suspect each other, a piercing laugh came from outside the hall, followed by the presence of several powerful figures.
"Soul Palace!"
Upon seeing the sudden appearance of several figures, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed.
After all, the Soul Palace is an old power in the Central Continent, and its strength is self-evident. Even the likes of Burning Flame Valley and Heavenly Nether Sect are slightly inferior to it.
The leader of the Soul Palace has reached the peak of the Eight-Star Dou Zun realm.
"The Soul Palace's Eight Heavenly Venerables' Prison!"
Upon seeing the strength of the leader of the Soul Hall, the expressions of everyone in the hall suddenly changed drastically.
