Chapter 158 Xun'er Leaves

In a fairyland-like valley, on the sloping grassy ground, lush green grass spreads to the end of the line of sight like a green blanket. Not far below the grassland, there is a spacious mountain stream with bottomless depth, and light clouds and mist linger in it.

Xiao Ling and Xiao Xun'er stood side by side, the breeze blowing and carrying their hair.

After Xiao Ling broke through to the peak of Dou Huang, he has been by Xiao Xun'er's side, and the already deep relationship between the two has become even closer.

"Brother Xiao Ling, I'm afraid the day when the clan will send someone to take me back to attend the coming-of-age ceremony is coming soon." Xiao Xun'er opened her red lips lightly, with a trace of reluctance in her beautiful eyes.

Xiao Ling smiled slightly, held Xiao Xun'er's hand, and said: "Xun'er, I know this day will eventually come. Although I feel reluctant to give up, I am happy for you and believe that you will be dazzling at the coming-of-age ceremony. "Xun'er, I have been mentally prepared."

"Even if separation is imminent, our hearts will never be far apart. Don't worry and go to the coming-of-age ceremony. I will miss you silently."

After hearing Xiao Ling's words, Xiao Xun'er raised the corners of her mouth slightly, a hint of playfulness flashed in her beautiful eyes, and said coquettishly: "Brother Xiao Ling, tell me, how much will you miss Xun'er after I leave? Will you miss her every day? Do you think about me every night?”

Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Xun'er's agile appearance, and her heart was full of love. She gently held her in her arms and whispered in her ear:

"Xun'er, not to mention after I left, even now, you have already been engraved in my heart. I am thinking of you every minute and every second."

Xiao Xun'er's cheeks were as red as blooming peach blossoms, and she said angrily: "Brother Xiao Ling will always say sweet words to make me happy."

Xiao Ling looked at her tenderly and said affectionately:

"Xun'er, everything I say is true. To me, nothing in this world is as good as your smile."

Xiao Xun'er snorted, buried her head in Xiao Ling's chest, and said softly:

"Brother Xiao Ling, Xun'er believes in you. Even if you are far away from the clan, Xun'er's heart will always be with you."

The breeze blew gently, and the figures of the two embracing each other looked so harmonious and beautiful in this beautiful scenery.

In the silence where Xun'er was, the wind and clouds on the horizon suddenly began to surge, as if they were disturbed by some powerful force.

Xiao Ling's eyes were involuntarily attracted by this vision. He narrowed his eyes and looked towards the end of the northern horizon.

There, a dozen tiny black spots cut through the sky like a flock of predatory birds of prey, heading straight for the forest with an unquestionable momentum.

The sound of breaking wind is like a sharp knife cutting the air, gradually becoming clearer and audible from far to near.

The black spots quickly enlarged against the backdrop of the sky. In Xiao Ling's sight, their outlines gradually became clear, and they were huge monsters.

The figures of these monsters looked even bigger under the sunlight, their skins were like the deep night sky, and the silver horns on their heads shone dazzlingly in the sunlight.

The lines on the horn are like ancient runes, seemingly silently telling their power. The four wings spread out, whipping up strong winds with each beat, causing the treetops of the forest to bow in salute under their power.

Xiao Ling stood on the treetops, looking calmly at these familiar yet unfamiliar creatures.

This type of monster is the one Xiao Ling had already learned about from Xun'er - the Silver-Horned Storm Beast.

It is one of the magical beasts raised by the ancient tribe. It is a rare rival among its peers. It is the exclusive mount of the ancient tribe's Black Annihilation Army.

As the silver-horned storm beasts approached, Xiao Ling's eyes turned to the figures on their backs.

Those figures were wearing purple-black robes that rustled in the wind. Their faces were stern, and their eyes revealed the calmness and cruelty of years of fighting.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly. Each of these ancient warriors were elites who had been strictly selected and trained. Their aura was as deep as the sea. Even Xiao Ling could feel the extraordinary temperament on their bodies.

Xiao Ling took a deep breath and adjusted his state. He knew in his heart that the arrival of these people from the ancient tribe meant that Xiao Xun'er would have to leave him soon.

Having been with Xiao Xun'er for so many years, there is no need to elaborate too much on the relationship between the two. Xiao Ling originally thought that when the two separated, they would be able to face it calmly, but when it came to this moment of separation, her heart was full of boredom and discomfort.

There was an indescribable feeling in Xiao Ling's heart. It felt like he had lost something precious, but also like he was bound by invisible ropes, which made him feel uncomfortable breathing.

Looking at Xun'er's cheeks, Xiao Ling's eyes, which were usually full of determination and confidence, now revealed a trace of tenderness and reluctance that could not be concealed.

Xiao Xun'er seemed to feel the fluctuations in Xiao Ling's heart. She gently withdrew from Xiao Ling's arms, raised her hand, and gently stroked Xiao Ling's cheek.

Her eyes were full of comfort and determination: "Brother Xiao Ling, don't be like this. We all have each other in our hearts. How can distance separate our emotions?"

Xiao Ling smiled slightly, trying to cover up the emotions in his heart with a smile, but he knew that none of this could escape Xun'er's eyes.

Gently holding Xun'er's hand, feeling the familiar warmth of parting, Xiao Ling said softly: "Xun'er, go ahead. Don't forget me after you return to the ancient tribe."

Xiao Xun'er nodded slightly, tears flashing in her eyes, but she still held back the tears.

She took a deep breath and tried her best to look strong.

After being separated from Xiao Ling, Xiao Xun'er's reluctance to say goodbye was no less than Xiao Ling's.

At this time, the huge figure of the Silver-Horned Storm Beast drew an elegant arc in the sky and slowly landed on the soft grass, stirring up a cloud of dust.

On top of the leading monster, a middle-aged man jumped down steadily. His steps were calm, and his aura at the peak of the Douzong was undoubtedly evident.

The middle-aged man walked up to Xiao Xun'er, leaned down slightly, his movements were full of respect, and his voice was gentle and powerful: "Miss, I am Gu Yan, and I am here to welcome you back to the clan by order of the elders of the clan. "

Gu Yan's eyes always remained humble, and he did not dare to look directly at Xiao Xun'er. His posture was low, but he did not lose the majesty of the peak of Douzong.

His respect for Xiao Xun'er not only stems from the established rules of the ancient clan, but also from the deep respect in his heart for this young lady who is about to inherit the supreme glory of the ancient clan.

Xiao Xun'er is the most perfect owner of the divine bloodline in the ancient clan for thousands of years. There is no doubt about her charm and potential. She naturally has countless followers and supporters among the ancient clan.

With the astonishing potential shown by Xiao Xun'er, as long as there are no accidents in her future training, it will be easy for her to reach the peak of Nine-Star Fighting Saint.

That kind of strength will be enough to ensure that the ancient tribe will continue to stand on the Dou Qi Continent for thousands of years, stable and worry-free.

If there are enough opportunities, maybe Xiao Xun'er can break through the Dou Di realm that no one has been able to reach in thousands of years.

You know, as members of the Ancient Tribe, one of the eight ancient tribes, they know very well how valuable the Dou Emperor realm is.

If Xiao Xun'er can really break through to the realm of Dou Emperor, then people like them will definitely be able to gain huge benefits from it, activate Dou Emperor's bloodline, and greatly increase their strength.

From his tone, one can feel not only the respect for Xiao Xun'er's noble status, but also the ardent expectations for this outstanding leader of the younger generation.

Xiao Xun'er nodded gently, her voice as soft as the spring breeze blowing over the strings of a piano: "Commander Gu Yan, thank you for your hard work on this journey."

Gu Yan turned slightly sideways, stretched out his arms steadily, and made a respectful gesture of invitation. His tone revealed his respect for Xiao Xun'er:

"Miss, please board this silver-horned storm beast. We will set off immediately to return to the ancient tribe. I believe that Chief Gu Yuan will be very happy to see the eldest daughter again."

Xiao Xun'er slowly turned around, her beautiful eyes as clear as autumn water looked at Xiao Ling not far away, her eyes were full of deep attachment and inseparable emotions.

The corners of her pretty lips trembled slightly, as if she was trying to suppress the fluctuations in her heart.

Xiao Ling secretly clenched his fists, his hands trembling slightly in his sleeves unconsciously, his eyes full of deep attachment and reluctance.

But he still tried hard to twitch the corners of his mouth, showing a slightly forced smile, and said slowly with suppressed emotions in his voice:

"Xun'er, go ahead. The road ahead is still long. You have to go on bravely. I will always think of you in my heart."

Xiao Xun'er bit her red lips gently, as if she was using this action to strengthen her determination.

Finally, she took that step and stepped onto the broad back of the silver-horned storm beast.

Seeing this, Gu Yan nodded slightly and loudly gave the order to set off.

He turned his head and took a deep look at Xiao Ling with a somewhat indescribable meaning. His thoughts were surging in his heart.

"It's really amazing that such a remote and remote northwest continent could produce such a person that even the clan leader praised highly."

"At only sixteen years old, her cultivation has reached the peak of the Dou Emperor. Her soul power is so powerful, and her medicine refining skills must be quite extraordinary. If the young lady had not awakened the Dou Emperor's bloodline, her talent in cultivation would probably be It’s hard to compare to this young man.”

"The Xiao clan, which has been in decline for a long time, may really be able to rise again and regain its former glory with the help of this young man."

After a moment, Gu Yan shook his head gently and said to himself: "It's just that the road to rise must be full of thorns. I wonder if this young man can withstand the numerous tests."

The silver-horned storm beast heard the sound and moved, its huge wings suddenly flapped, instantly rolling up a powerful storm.

Amid the roaring wind, the silver-horned storm beast carried Xiao Xun'er and Elder Gu Yan, slowly rising into the sky until it turned into a streak of silver light in the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

Xiao Ling looked at the silver light that was gradually disappearing, and felt an indescribable sense of emptiness in his heart. He knew that this separation might be a long time.

The breeze is still blowing, and the green on the grass seems to tell the passage of time.

Xiao Ling took a deep breath and tried to suppress the reluctance in her heart. He understood that Xun'er's departure was not the end, but a new starting point for their common future.

"Xun'er, you must be well." He prayed silently in his heart, looking firmly into the distance.

Xiao Ling turned around and slowly walked towards the other end of the valley.

Xiao Ling knew that he could not be immersed in the emotion of separation. There was still a long way to go, and he had to become stronger so that he could stand upright beside Xun'er one day in the future.

The clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the sun once again filled the earth. Xiao Ling's figure looked more determined in the sunshine, and his steps became more steady.

In this fairyland-like valley, Xiao Ling's back gradually disappeared at the end of the lush green grass.

The road ahead may be full of thorns, but for the faith in his heart, Xiao Ling will be fearless and move forward bravely.

"I don't know what will happen to each other next time we meet."

…

After leaving the valley, Xiao Ling's mood was like the mist in the valley. Although it had gradually dissipated, there was still a hint of melancholy.

Patting his cheeks hard, Xiao Ling tried to put the loss behind him.

Walking slowly all the way, Xiao Ling finally returned to his yard.

Pushing open the door, a peaceful atmosphere came to him. The flowers and plants in the yard swayed gently in the wind, but there was no sign of Qinglin and Xiao Yixian.

Xiao Ling walked slowly towards the alchemy room that Yao Chen often used, and then released a delicate perception, trying to explore the movement in the room.

The perception penetrated through the crack of the door like water, spreading silently to every corner of the alchemy room.

However, there was only a dead silence in response to him, and the familiar smell of medicine and the sound of flames when refining medicine disappeared. Obviously, the alchemy room was empty and no one was there, and Yao Chen was not in it.

Xiao Ling frowned slightly, and he guessed in his heart that the two should be looking for the traces of the sixth-level snake monster in order to improve their strength, so they were not in the yard.

As Qinglin's master, Yao Chen had to follow them to prevent any emergencies.

Xiao Ling did not hesitate too much, but walked into the room and simply packed his belongings.

Then, he came to Zi Yan's room and checked Zi Yan's advancement status every day as usual.

The room was filled with purple light, like a dreamlike color. The huge light cocoon looked mysterious and solemn against the purple light.

Xiao Ling stared at the light cocoon and felt the majestic energy contained in it, and his heart was shocked.

Observing carefully around the light cocoon, Xiao Ling found that there were more and more cracks on the purple light cocoon, as if it was a prelude to the blooming of life.

The light cocoon trembled slightly, as if responding to the changes in the outside world, and a weak energy fluctuation emanated from it, which made people feel awe.

Xiao Ling touched his chin, and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes: "Zi Yan's progress in cultivation is faster than I expected. It seems that she has gained a lot from this retreat."

Stretching out his white palm, Xiao Ling gently touched the light cocoon, as if he could feel Zi Yan's efforts and persistence inside, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

"Zi Yan, you must succeed in breaking through. Be careful and don't make any mistakes." Xiao Ling said softly, with a bit of expectation in his eyes.

"If you can't come out before I retreat to the Dou Zong realm, then we may not meet for a while."

After that, Xiao Ling gently let go of his hand and walked out of the practice room.
