"no problem."

Gu Ruyan was quite obedient and immediately went to collect the essence blood of the Dao Gu clan chief.

The Dao Gu clan chief's soul has been destroyed by Han Feng, and there will be no problem in collecting his essence blood.

She successfully collected a jade bottle containing the essence and blood of the Dao Gu clan chief.

Compared to the essence blood of other Dao Gu clans, the Dao Gu clan chief is more powerful.

"Let's continue on our way."

Han Feng led Gu Ruyan forward and left the Hall of Heroes.

After leaving the Hall of Heroes, the two entered another hall.

In the very center of the main hall stands a statue of a deity, towering to the heavens and possessing unparalleled power, as if it were about to break free of the palace at any moment.

Others might not recognize this statue, but Han Feng was quite familiar with it.

This statue is none other than the most powerful ancient ancestor.

It is not strange that the Daogu Clan worships the strongest ancient ancestor.

Besides this strongest ancient ancestor, there are also many powerful figures from ancient clans.

Portraits, both male and female, hung throughout the main hall.

“Senior, here is a portrait of the Dao Gu Clan Chief we just saw. It seems he wasn’t lying to us about this; he really is the tenth clan chief of the Dao Gu Clan.” Gu Ruyan pointed to one of the portraits.

“There’s nothing strange about it. His cultivation has reached the Earth Heaven Realm, making him one of the strongest in the entire Dao Ancient Clan. It’s normal for him to become the clan leader,” Han Feng nodded.

“I believe the ancient clan has been destroyed. No one has come to worship for so long. This time, two outsiders have actually come in. One is of the bloodline of the ancient god clan, and I can’t sense which race the other person is of.”

“I sense a bloodline in this kid that is even stronger than that of our Dao Gu Clan. Could it be that this kid has obtained the bloodline of the strongest ancient ancestor? That’s impossible. Our Dao Gu Clan has been searching for so long and we still haven’t found the bloodline of the strongest ancient ancestor. And this kid has found it.”

“We are the direct descendants of the strongest ancient ancestor. We should be the ones to obtain the bloodline of the strongest ancient ancestor. How can we let an outsider obtain it? We must take it back.”

"Boy, if you obediently hand over the bloodline of the strongest ancient ancestor, we can let your soul leave. If you cooperate, then you can stay here forever."

...

The vast hall was empty, yet the voices of many could be heard.

These voices, both male and female, all spoke in a condescending tone.

"Are these sounds coming from the portrait?"

Gu Ruyan trembled violently as her gaze swept over the portraits.

These portraits seem to have come to life, with expressions and emotions on their faces.

"This female servant may be of low cultivation level, but she has a strong ability to perceive things. She immediately noticed that we were in the portrait."

“I remember when the Dao Gu Clan was powerful, there was a clear rule that slave races such as the Ancient God Clan, the Ancient Demon Clan, and the Ancient Monster Clan were not allowed to enter our Dao Gu Clan’s heritage site.”

"The ancient gods did not perish, but our Dao Ancient Clan did. I think there is a high probability that these slave families of the ancient gods betrayed our Dao Ancient Clan, otherwise this situation would never have occurred."

“These slave families deserve to die. I said we should have wiped out the entire Ancient God Clan, Ancient Demon Clan, Ancient Monster Clan and other slave families back then to prevent them from turning against our Dao Ancient Clan in the future.”

...

Gu Ruyan's voice attracted the attention of the powerful members of the Daogu Clan, who all commented on her.

"Senior, shouldn't we leave here sooner rather than later?"

Gu Ruyan looked around in fear, her body trembling violently.

She also saw the soul of the tenth generation Dao Gu clan leader from earlier; it was the same person, yet there were two different interpretations.

Previously, in the Hall of Heroes, this patriarch clearly stated that the Dao Ancient Clan was too powerful and oppressed the Ancient God Clan, Ancient Demon Clan, and other ancient clans too much.

But she had just heard the tenth generation patriarch of the Dao Ancient Clan say that he had wiped out all the slave families, including the Ancient God Clan.

As long as Gu Ruyan isn't a fool, she'll realize that the Dao Gu Clan patriarch in the Hall of Heroes was lying.

This temple contains too many former powerful members of the Dao Ancient Clan. If they were to attack me or my predecessors, they would all die here.

“There’s nothing to be afraid of. If these people could get out of there, they wouldn’t be talking in the portrait.”

Han Feng said dismissively.

Just as he said, these Dao Ancient Clan experts had been able to come out for a long time.

These powerful members of the Dao Ancient Clan knew perfectly well that Han Feng possessed the strongest ancient ancestral bloodline, yet they only threatened him in the portrait and none of them came out.

From this, he could tell that these powerful members of the Dao Ancient Clan were not capable of coming out of the portrait.

"You're pretty good, kid. You actually saw through our problem. We can't touch you, but we have the ability to kill you."

“This temple is where we worship our ancestors. We believe that if we pray sincerely, our ancestors will hear our cries and kill you, you traitor.”

"Our Dao Gu clan's heritage can only be entered by members of the Dao Gu clan. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Once you enter here, the only way to leave is through death."

"Hand over the bloodline of our strongest ancient ancestor now, and we might spare your life; otherwise, you will die here."

"You may not know that each of the three great halls has the means to kill outsiders who break in. This is the most powerful of the three halls, and the methods they possess are the most terrifying. Don't take any chances."

...

One by one, the powerful members of the Dao Ancient Clan spoke up, their words filled with threats.

"Don't be so shameless. If you anger me, you won't even be able to keep your souls today."

Han Feng showed no intention of compromising.

He didn't focus his attention on the surrounding portraits, but rather on the statue in front of him.

The statue gave him a strange feeling; it didn't seem like an inanimate object, but rather a living one.

These old men from the Daogu clan kept shouting that they had the ability to kill Han Feng.

Han Feng believed that their confidence likely stemmed from the presence of the strongest ancient ancestral god statue before them.

This statue of the strongest ancient ancestor is not just for show; it contains great mystery.

"Damn it, no outsider has ever spoken to me like this before. You have angered me. This time, even if you hand over the bloodline of the strongest ancient ancestor, I will never let you go."

"Let's stop hiding our secrets. This outsider is quite shrewd and has figured out our problem. Let's all work together to activate the statue and kill him."

“I agree with this opinion. If this foreigner has a secret treasure that can suppress the soul, we are very likely to be defeated one by one. It is best to kill him directly now.”

"This outsider must have some powerful trump card to be able to come here from outside. We can't underestimate him."

...

The powerful members of the Dao Ancient Clan all demanded to take action and use swift and decisive methods to kill Han Feng.
