Doupo: Marry a Young Doctor and Be Rewarded with Douhuang Cultivation

170: Turmoil in the Northwest Continent!Xiao Ze smiled, and just as he was about to elaborate on his experience in the Heavenly Tomb, he suddenly remembered Elder Tongxuan’s words and frowned: ”Father, where are Xiao Yi Xian and the others? Elder Tongxuan said she told me to return to the Xiao Clan immediately after coming out. Did something happen?”

The smile on Xiao Zhan’s face faded slightly, and he said in a deep voice: ”Not long after you entered the Heavenly Tomb, we received intelligence that something unexpected happened in the Jia Ma Empire, and Xiao Yi Xian and the others have already rushed over.”

”Jia Ma Empire?”

Xiao Ze’s heart tightened; it was as he expected.

It had been several years since he last visited the Jia Ma Empire. Not only was it his homeland, but it was also where the Xiao Alliance was located, and it absolutely could not be lost.

Xiao Zhan’s expression was solemn. He walked to the edge of the main peak’s observation deck and pointed to the distant horizon: ”It’s not just the Jia Ma Empire; the entire Northwest Continent is in chaos.”

”A year ago, a sect called the Lion Underworld Sect suddenly rose, conquering everywhere. In less than half a year, they occupied half of the Northwest Continent’s territory.”

”Lion Underworld Sect...”

Xiao Ze’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he began to ponder.

Although the Northwest Continent was not as full of hidden Dragons as Central State, it was still an extremely vast region with no shortage of Dou Zun experts. To occupy most of the Northwest Continent with the strength of a single sect, if there wasn’t someone behind it...

Xiao Ze would never believe it.

Moreover, as the headquarters of the Xiao Alliance, he had brought back many Dou Zun experts when he returned a few years ago.

Even they were not a match for this Lion Underworld Sect, which indicated the extraordinary power behind it.

And besides the Eight Ancient Families, only the elusive Hall of Souls would likely have the ability to achieve this.

Xiao Ze’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was certain: ”It’s people from the Hall of Souls, isn’t it?”

Xiao Zhan turned around and nodded heavily: ”That’s right. From the intelligence we’ve received, the Lion Underworld Sect has gained many mysterious experts who use sinister Qi, and their Moves are exactly the same as the Hall of Souls’.”

”They are using the Lion Underworld Sect to stir up war in the Northwest Continent. Ultimately, it’s all for collecting Souls!”

Xiao Zhan paused, then continued.

”The forces in Central State are intricately intertwined, and coupled with the possibility of being purged, the Hall of Souls doesn’t dare to act openly. But the Northwest Continent is different; its forces are scattered, making it their perfect hunting ground!”

”These rats in the gutter certainly know how to pick a place!” Xiao Ze’s eyes instantly turned cold.

He had just purged the Hun Clan in the Heavenly Tomb, and he didn’t expect the Hall of Souls to turn their attention to the Northwest Continent again, even daring to touch his Xiao Alliance. They were simply courting death!

”How is the Xiao Alliance doing now?” he pressed, his fists unconsciously clenching.

”Under Ya Fei’s management over the years, the Xiao Alliance has become one of the top three forces in the Northwest, but it can’t withstand the continuous support of experts from the Hun Clan,” Xiao Zhan sighed.

”Although with your golden signboard, it’s not difficult to summon Dou Zun experts to help, the premise is that you, the protagonist, must issue the call.”

At this point, the situation was clear.

For the past year, because he was not in the Xiao Clan, the effect of maximizing his golden signboard was not satisfactory.

Although many Dou Zun experts expressed willingness to join for free, the support from the Hall of Souls’ experts was clearly more numerous and faster.

”A few months ago, the Xiao Alliance’s territory was gradually compressed by the Lion Underworld Sect, forcing them to retreat to the Jia Ma Empire.”

”I sent several Dou Zun Elders to support them, but the Hun Clan has far more Dou Zun experts than we do. The people we sent might not be able to hold out for too long.”

”The people from the Hall of Souls are certainly good at scheming!” A fierce glint flashed in Xiao Ze’s eyes, and the pressure of a Seven-Star Dou Sheng unconsciously emanated, making the surrounding air seem to solidify.

Strike while the iron is hot!

They might have thought that as long as they took down the Northwest Continent before he returned, it would be useless even if he did come back.

But the people from the Hall of Souls overlooked the Xiao Clan’s heritage. Even if he had wasted a year in the Ancient Clan,

with the reputation of a Ninth-Grade Alchemist, it was still possible to rally some Dou Zun experts to help.

By then, as long as they held out until his return, with his Seven-Star Dou Sheng strength, annihilating the invaders would be a matter of minutes.

After all, no matter how many Dou Zun there were, in front of a true Dou Sheng, they were still nothing more than ants.

Moreover, Xiao Ze was now a Seven-Star Dou Sheng!

”The Hun Clan is certainly willing to pay a heavy price, but do they think they can take down the Xiao Alliance with some petty tricks?”

Seeing him like this, Xiao Zhan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Now that Xiao Ze was a Seven-Star Dou Sheng, dealing with the people sent by the Hun Clan should not be a problem.

He then added: ”Don’t be too anxious. We opened a spatial wormhole from the Xiao Clan to the Jia Ma Empire years ago, so you can depart at any time.”

”I’ve already arranged for ten Dou Zun Elders from the Clan to wait at the wormhole. You just need to lead the team over, and you can immediately support the Xiao Alliance.”

Xiao Ze nodded. This spatial wormhole was constructed by him during his last trip to the Jia Ma Empire, precisely to guard against unforeseen circumstances.

He didn’t expect it to come in handy now.

It would be a perfect way to catch the Hun Clan off guard.

Let them know that targeting his Xiao Family members has severe consequences!

Xiao Zhan no longer tried to dissuade him, turning and saying: ”Since that’s the case, then I, your father, wish you a triumphant victory and a glorious return!”

”Don’t worry, Father. This time, I won’t let the Hun Clan gain any more advantages!”

Xiao Ze followed Xiao Zhan’s footsteps, purple-gold Dou Qi subtly surging around him.

The Hun Clan had provoked them repeatedly. This time, he would let them know how heavy the price would be for touching his people!

The two hurried towards the spatial wormhole located in the Xiao Clan’s back mountain. From a distance, they saw twelve figures standing solemnly by the wormhole, who were the waiting Elders.

Upon seeing Xiao Ze, everyone bowed in unison: ”Greetings, Clan Chief!”

Xiao Ze nodded and said in a deep voice: ”Everyone, follow me to the Jia Ma Empire, support the Xiao Alliance, and annihilate the Hall of Souls’ pawns!”

”As the Clan Chief commands!” The twelve Elders responded in unison, their voices shaking the surrounding leaves.

Xiao Ze said no more, taking the lead and stepping into the spatial wormhole, which glowed with a faint blue light.

Behind him, the twelve Elders followed closely, their figures quickly disappearing into the wormhole.

Xiao Zhan stood by the wormhole, gazing at the gradually calming spatial fluctuations, and softly murmured: ”Ze’er, the Jia Ma Empire, it’s all up to you...”
