Chapter 414: Divine Bloodline
The large flying beast slowly landed, allowing the group to closely observe the palaces on the mountain. These palaces were built from a unique type of stone, exuding an ancient and primitive aura.
Within the palace, numerous figures stood, radiating either powerful or subtle energies. The arrival of Xiao Ze's group drew the attention of everyone in the grand hall. When they saw the emblem of the Gu Clan, their gazes grew serious. Even among the ancient clans, the Gu Clan's strength was second to none, rivaled only by the mysterious Hun Clan.
"Haha, I didn't expect Brother Tongxuan to personally lead the team here," said an old man with grayish-white skin who suddenly appeared. Despite his old appearance, his body was extremely muscular, radiating a terrifying strength even without making a move.
"Brother Shi, it's been almost a hundred years since we last met," Tongxuan greeted with a smile, bowing slightly to the old man. This elder of the Stone Clan was even stronger than Tongxuan and held the position of Grand Elder, warranting a respectful greeting.
"Xun'er, I will catch up with Brother Shi. You all wait here," Tongxuan instructed.
"Haha, no rush. There are still three days until the Rock Demon Hunt. Afterward, someone will arrange accommodations for you," the Stone Clan elder said, glancing at Xiao Ze's group. His gaze lingered on Xun'er and Xiao Ze. So, this was the Gu Clan's beloved daughter, possibly possessing a divine bloodline... And the other one, who seemed even more mysterious—was he a hidden prodigy of the Gu Clan?
The Stone Clan elder quickly dismissed these thoughts and invited Tongxuan to catch up elsewhere. None of the other clan leaders who had come for the hunt had warranted his personal reception. Only the Gu Clan's Tongxuan held such an honor.
After Tongxuan left, the young Stone Clan girl who had welcomed them said, "Please follow me. Since the Gu Clan is arriving in two groups, would you like to join the first group's residence?"
Xun'er frowned slightly. Many Gu Clan members had come for the Rock Demon Hunt. The elders saw it as an excellent training opportunity, despite the dangers, because of the benefits and the lack of participant limits. Many young talents were eager to use this rare chance to improve their strength, especially after learning that Xun'er would be participating, sparking a competitive spirit among them.
"Can we find another residence?" Xun'er asked.
"No problem," the girl nodded and led Xiao Ze and the others to another guest palace. She wisely chose a palace neither too close nor too far from the Gu Clan's residence.
While Xiao Ze's group headed to their quarters, discussions arose in the main hall among the other ancient clans and invited sects.
"That seemed to be the Grand Elder of the Stone Clan, right?"
"No doubt about it. Only the Gu or Hun Clan elders could warrant such a reception."
"Hehe, that Gu Clan elder is particularly terrifying. When I sensed him, he felt like a black hole, swallowing any attempts to probe."
The speaker was a Grand Elder from a hidden sect, a one-star Dou Saint. His words left others in awe, making them understand why the Stone Clan's Grand Elder had personally greeted them.
In a corner of the hall, a man with a warm smile in a black robe conversed with some powerful figures. His long black hair fell casually over his shoulders, giving him a carefree and elegant appearance. His face was handsome, and his gentle smile made him seem very refined.
After the conversation, those who had spoken with him left with satisfied smiles. Once they were gone, two black-clad figures silently appeared behind him, as if they had always been there, unnoticed by anyone.
"Lord Hun Yu, that seems to be the most perfect bloodline awakening in this generation of the Gu Clan," one of the black-clad figures reported.
Hun Yu's smile faded slightly. "The Gu Clan protects her well, even sending Tongxuan."
"Should we take this chance in the Rock Demon Realm to eliminate her?" one of the figures asked, a cold glint in his eyes.
Hun Yu's eyes flashed with malice. "If the opportunity arises, we can deal with her. But remember, our main task is the mission assigned by the Lord."
Anyone who knew Hun Yu's identity would be shocked. As a highly esteemed member of the Hun Clan, possessing a divine bloodline, Hun Yu was one of the most likely candidates to become the next clan leader. His respect when mentioning "the Lord" spoke volumes about the importance of their mission.
The two black-clad figures nodded, "Understood."
The Hun Clan's mission was not just to participate in the Rock Demon Hunt but also to complete a crucial task related to the continuation of their bloodline.
With a faint smile, Hun Yu left, his gaze sweeping over the hall as if viewing mere tools.
"Finally, we can rest after all this traveling," Little Doctor Immortal stretched, highlighting her graceful figure. Xiao Ze, smiling, returned to the hall after seeing off the Stone Clan girl. He admired her figure, reflecting on how much she had changed.
Seeing Xun'er deep in thought, Xiao Ze asked, "What's wrong, Xun'er?"
"I think I saw someone from the Hun Clan in the reception hall. He made me uneasy," Xun'er replied.
Xiao Ze frowned. If someone could make Xun'er uneasy, it was significant. "Do you know him?"
"His name is Hun Yu, one of the top young talents in the Hun Clan, with a divine bloodline. His strength is formidable, already at the peak of Dou Zun, practicing the Nine Transformations to Saint method," Xun'er explained.
Xiao Ze recalled information about Hun Yu. As one of the Hun Clan's divine bloodline holders, Hun Yu was indeed formidable. His first appearance had been during the competition for the Bodhi Tree, where he cleverly used others to fight the beast tide for him. Unlike the typical Hun Clan members who killed and stole souls, Hun Yu's tactics were more insidious.
"If I get the chance, I should eliminate him," Xiao Ze thought. Even if Hun Yu was as strong as during the Bodhi Tree event, Xiao Ze felt confident. After all, at his peak, Hun Yu was just at the pinnacle of Nine-Transformation Dou Zun.
