"Nice, finally gave that bastard Xiao Yan a proper beating."
Seeing the puppet she had unleashed successfully blast Xiao Yan into the distance, Zi Yan clenched both fists in front of her chest and jumped excitedly. Then she touched the storage ring on her finger, smirking mischievously.
"Looks like that method Lin Feng taught me works pretty well. Next time I get a chance, I'll give that guy another little surprise, hehe."
However, the slight fluctuation she released when she got excited instantly drew the attention of the two Gu Clan experts.
"Who's there? Come out, or I'll drag you out myself!"
Sensing the faint disturbance rippling through the surrounding space, the older of the two Gu Clan powerhouses immediately shouted harshly toward the area.
Seeing this, the other Gu Clan expert shot off into the distance in a flash, racing toward the direction Gu Xun'er had left. No matter how unhappy he might personally be with Gu Xun'er, she was still a genius of their Gu Clan.
Their mission this time absolutely could not allow her to encounter any kind of accident. Now that someone else was secretly lurking around, they naturally had to be cautious and protect Gu Xun'er first.
"Aiya, I got discovered."
Seeing their reaction, Zi Yan immediately remembered Lin Feng's repeated reminders: before and after an ambush, she had to make sure to keep a safe distance or she might get baited into danger. She pouted, then leisurely flew deeper into the void.
Although she had accidentally leaked her presence in her excitement earlier, she was confident that they would not be able to pinpoint her exact location. So even as she left, she didn't show the slightest haste.
While flying away, she even began wondering to herself whether she should go visit the Flower Sect for a few days, or spend some time in the Falling Star Pavilion instead.
But compared to her carefree state, the blasted-away Xiao Yan was suffering unimaginably. Since he never expected Lin Feng to actually play such a trick, he had been completely caught off guard and was thrown back by the shockwave of the explosion.
Although his strong soul power allowed him to react at the final moment and quickly form a thin protective shield of Heavenly Flame in front of himself…
Two self-destructing One-Star Dou Zun puppets exploding right in his face still shattered that hastily formed shield into pieces. The twin shockwaves that followed slammed brutally into Xiao Yan without mercy.
Struck so suddenly with no mental preparation, Xiao Yan was shaken violently, coughing out a mouthful of blood mixed with bits of damaged organs. Because the spatial wormhole walls around him were shattered by the explosion, he was thrown directly into the surrounding void space.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared completely from everyone's senses. When Gu Xun'er finally broke free of the Gu Clan experts holding her back and rushed anxiously to the site where Xiao Yan's spatial ship had been…
She found nothing except a few fragments of the spatial ship. Not even a trace of Xiao Yan remained.
In that instant, she felt like the sky had collapsed. Her hands uncontrollably grabbed at her hair as she screamed in despair, "Damn it, who was it?! Who would stoop so low to ambush like this?! I'll catch you and tear you to pieces!"
But just as she shouted that, she suddenly remembered the "Lin Feng" Xiao Yan had mentioned earlier.
"Bastard! Lin Feng! I, Gu Xun'er, will never forgive you!"
At this moment, aside from Lin Feng—who already had enmity with Xiao Yan—she truly couldn't think of anyone else who would strike so viciously.
As for the Hall of Souls, based on her understanding, if they really wanted revenge, they would just send a powerhouse straight to their doorstep. With the Hall of Souls's abundant experts, they had no need to use schemes like this.
No matter how she thought about it, the culprit could only be Lin Feng!
"Sigh, it seems fortune doesn't favor the Xiao Clan either."
The Gu Clan expert who had rushed over right after couldn't help shaking his head regretfully when he saw the situation. He didn't exactly like Xiao Yan, but judging from the current circumstances…
Xiao Yan was the one with the highest chance of revitalizing the Xiao Clan among the remaining bloodline. Now, however, he had been sucked into the void space, likely meeting a fate where not even his bones would remain.
After all, with Xiao Yan only at One-Star Dou Zun, and having been heavily injured by the explosion just now, he did not believe Xiao Yan could possibly escape unscathed from the depths of the void space.
"You two, go in there immediately. You must find my Big Brother Xiao Yan."
After cursing Lin Feng several times, Gu Xun'er swiftly shifted her gaze to the two Gu Clan experts behind her and issued the order.
"Miss, earlier we sensed other people in this area. Right now, we have no idea what their exact strength is. If we leave rashly, it will be easy for them to pick us off one by one."
The younger of the two Gu Clan experts looked helpless as he responded to her command.
"Other people?"
Hearing that, Gu Xun'er instantly changed her mind and said, "That person must be the culprit. Go after him at once. As for Big Brother Xiao Yan, I will call others to search for him."
"But that person is hiding extremely well. We don't know his exact location…"
The Gu Clan expert tugged at the corner of his mouth helplessly, his voice growing softer.
Hearing this, Gu Xun'er's expression instantly darkened.
"Swoosh!"
Just as she was about to speak, a dark shadow suddenly shot out from the broken opening of the spatial wormhole nearby.
"Who is it?"
The sudden appearance of someone from within the void space gave all three of them a shock.
When they saw who it was, they realized it was Yao Chen in his soul state. However, his condition was far from good. After Xiao Yan rescued him from the Hall of Souls, he had recovered quite a bit through careful nurturing.
But now, he had once again become extremely faint. In this state, he looked as though he might burst like a bubble in the next second and completely vanish from this world. But in his hand, he was still gripping a charred, pitch-black figure.
Perhaps due to the high temperature of the explosion, the clothing on this person had been entirely reduced to ash. Even so, sharp-eyed Gu Xun'er immediately recognized who this "blackened humanoid" really was.
"Big Brother Xiao Yan!"
Seeing this, Gu Xun'er let out a scream, her heart nearly stopping.
No wonder — Xiao Yan's current condition was enough to make anyone shake their head repeatedly. Without caring whether her expensive dress would get covered in soot, Gu Xun'er rushed over to Xiao Yan's side and held him as she began examining his condition.
However, the moment she got a clear look, she nearly fainted on the spot. Xiao Yan's body hair had completely vanished without a trace. Only between his legs remained a small, pitch-black, smooth little thing, sitting there all alone.
