Chapter 198: The Opening of the Heavenly Tomb, Gu Yao's Killing Intent!



"Xun'er..."

At this moment, Xiao Yan felt as if he had lost something incredibly important. The

surrounding air seemed to stand still, and he could clearly hear the pounding of his own heartbeat.

"Sigh..."

"Xiao Yan, let's go," Ling Ying said after a long silence, patting Xiao Yan on the shoulder, signaling him to leave.

Xiao Yan, in a daze, walked down the mountain where Xun'er lived and returned to his residence.

On the third day, as the first rays of morning light spilled over the horizon, a strange atmosphere began to permeate the Gu Sacred Mountains.

"Today is the day the Heavenly Tomb opens. It's a pity that only those from ancient clans are qualified to enter..."

Standing in front of the bamboo house, Xiao Yi Xian gently helped Gu Fei adjust his clothes, while Cai Lin, along with Wushuang and Xian Yue, affectionately watched him.

Once Xiao Yi Xian finished tidying Gu Fei's clothes, the group mounted the Lion King.

"Brother Gu Fei, when you come out of the Heavenly Tomb, you must accompany me to Dragon Island..."

On the Lion King's back, Zi Yan suddenly leaned close to Gu Fei. Their faces were less than a foot apart, and they could feel each other's breath.

"Alright, I promise you! When I come out of the Heavenly Tomb, I'll take you to the Ancient Dragon Island and help you become the Empress as soon as possible!"

Gu Fei smiled, realizing he had delayed this matter for many years. Now that Zi Yan was showing signs of breaking through to a five-star Dou Saint, returning to Dragon Island would be much safer.

"No more lying!" Zi Yan said, only moving her face away from Gu Fei's after receiving his

assurance.

Next, the Lion King flapped its wings and flew towards the eastern part of the Gu Sacred Mountain Range.

"If that's the case, then my Xiao clan should have a spot to enter the Heavenly Tomb, right?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out, surprising everyone present. The speaker was Xiao

Yan.

"This brat is bold!"

"The Xiao clan has fallen. How can they still have a spot for the Heavenly Tomb?"

"Sigh, not so fast. If the Xiao clan no longer has a spot, why does the Gu clan take up the Xiao clan's spots, allowing them to send two extra people?"

The crowd began to murmur among themselves, with one youth from the Hun clan adding fuel to the fire. He was always eager to tarnish the Gu clan's reputation.

"Senior, you once promised to fulfill any request I made. Now, I only ask for a spot for my Xiao clan to enter the Heavenly Tomb!"

Under everyone's gaze, Xiao Yan ascended into the air to speak directly to Gu Nanhai.

"Are you sure you want to make this request?"

In the sky, Gu Nanhai's face darkened, and his voice carried the pressure of a powerful being. "Xiao Yan, how dare he? Does he not know the situation? Is he courting death?"

Nearby, Xun'er was furious as she watched Xiao Yan's actions. The Xiao clan had fallen so far- how could they still deserve such an opportunity?

"I'm sure! Or do the elders of the Gu clan go back on their word?"

Despite the immense pressure from Gu Nanhai, Xiao Yan stood firm, believing that the Gu clan elder wouldn't strike him down in front of everyone.

"Xiao Yan, how dare you insult the elders of the Gu clan! You're asking for death!"

Suddenly, a cold killing intent enveloped Xiao Yan, causing his face to turn pale. In front of everyone, a man with black and white hair shot into the sky.

This man was Gu Yao!

Gu Yao's fury was ignited because the Gu clan's four spots were supposed to go to Gu Fei, Xun'er, Gu Qing Yang, and himself. Gu Yao couldn't surpass the first three, but if Xiao Yan reclaimed the Xiao clan's spot, Gu Yao would lose his chance to enter the Heavenly Tomb.

How could an ant like Xiao Yan dare to compete with him, a top talent of the Gu clan, for such an opportunity?
