Chapter 162: The Queen's Child, Gu Wushuang!



Although Gu Fei could easily deal with those troubles using the power of the Gu Clan, there were restrictions between the ancient clans. Those with cultivation levels above the Four-Star Dou Saint couldn't act recklessly. If the Gu Clan made too big of a move, it would undoubtedly draw the attention of other ancient clans.

On the surface, the Eight Ancient Clans appeared harmonious, but behind the scenes, there was mutual suspicion. If any clan showed weakness, they might be attacked by the others.

Clans like the Yan Clan and the Lei Clan might have some strength, but they were not a threat to the more powerful Gu Clan. After all, Gu Yuan, a peak Nine-Star Dou Saint, was like a stabilizing force, ensuring the Gu Clan's invincibility.

The Gu Clan was truly only wary of the Hun Clan. The leader of the Hun Clan was a peak-level powerhouse, on par with Gu Yuan, and he had the support of the Nihility Devouring Flame, which also had the strength of a Nine-Star Dou Saint.

"The Hun Clan's plan should be almost complete by now..." Gu Fei pondered.

Based on his estimation of the timeline, the Hun Clan's grand plan was nearly ready. Once the Soul Hall gathered enough soul essences for them, the Hun Clan would initiate a purge of the Eight Ancient Clans.

Even the Gu Clan wouldn't be able to withstand the Hun Clan's power alone, after a

millennium of preparation. Therefore, the Gu Clan couldn't afford any mistakes at this time and needed to proceed cautiously.

They also needed to stabilize the situation with the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe. In the upcoming war, the Dragon Tribe would be a significant ally.

"How about this, Elder Zhu Li: you've been away from East Dragon Island for a while now. Why not return and stabilize the situation there? But for now, don't mention anything about Zi Yan..." Gu Fei suggested after thinking for a moment.

Hearing this, Zhu Li frowned slightly and quickly weighed his options. As Gu Fei said, even if Zi Yan returned to the clan, she might not be able to turn the tide. Her return would likely be discovered by the spies sent by the three Dragon Kings, and they would inevitably covet her after learning she had absorbed the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

If the three Dragon Kings decided to take a desperate gamble, Zi Yan could be in grave danger.

Gu Fei's suggestion was indeed the best course of action for now.

"Alright, we'll do as you suggest. I trust you to take care of Zi Yan," Zhu Li agreed.

With that, Zhu Li prepared to leave the Gu Realm and return to East Dragon Island alone. "Has Elder Zhu Li left?"

Shortly after Zhu Li left, Zi Yan appeared beside Gu Fei.

"Elder Zhu Li has been away for a while, so it's time he brought some news back to the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe. You should stay here and continue honing your skills. Right now, you're the only hope for the revival of the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe," Gu Fei conveyed Zhu Li's parting words to Zi Yan.

Zi Yan quickly turned around and covered Qing Lin's mouth, gesturing for silence.

"Shh! Don't let her hear that, or she won't play with me anymore." Zi Yan whispered, glancing around like a thief to make sure Xian Yue wasn't nearby, then finally relaxed.

Zi Yan and Qing Lin's playful banter helped ease some of Gu Fei's tension. Xiao Yi Xian also stepped forward, holding Gu Fei's hand to calm him down.

"Wah... wah..."

Finally, the anxiety gave way to joy as the sound of a newborn's cry filled the air.

"The baby is born!"

Hearing the cry, Gu Fei was the first to enter the room to check on Cai Lin.

Despite having reached the Dou Venerate level, Cai Lin was extremely weak after giving birth.

Gu Fei quickly fed her a pill to restore her energy and blood.

Soon after, Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan, Qing Lin, and the others entered to see how she was doing.

"Born as a Dou Ancestor!"

Venerable Tian Huo and the Lion King were the last to enter. Naturally, they didn't crowd

around Medusa but first checked on the baby.

When they saw the child Medusa had given birth to, Venerable Tian Huo's face was filled with

astonishment.

The child was born as a Dou Ancestor!

"No wonder he's the young master. My child is only in the late stages of the fifth rank..." the

Lion King sighed. Dou Ancestor was something that many people couldn't achieve in their lifetime, yet it was just the starting point for this child.
