Battle Through The Heavens: Domination of The Ancient God.

Xiao Ning stood stupefied after seeing the face behind the mask. Never in a million years could he have guessed the latter's identity. Furthermore, Old Li's strength shocked him. 

'It's not as simple as a Dou Ancestor,' Xiao Ning thought. 

Old Li laughed loudly after seeing the look on Xiao Ning's face, and he had a sly smile on his face. 'It feels better after teasing the young master,' he spoke in his heart. 

Thankfully, Xiao Ning did not know what Old Li was thinking; otherwise, he would have gone mad. 

"Old Li you......" Old Li waved his hand and interrupted Xiao Ning. 

"This is not the place." He pointed at the space behind Xiao Ning and reminded him. 

Xiao Ning was startled and remembered the reason he came out. He nodded and opened the portal leading to the small realm. 

The two stepped into the portal, and it closed behind them. The next second, Xiao Ning and Old Li arrived in the secret realm. 

"Good, very good!" Old Li scanned the small realm with his spiritual power and commented. He, a half-saint, could see more details than Xiao Ning, the owner of this small realm. The excitement on his face expressed his inner thoughts; it was as if he was looking at a peerless treasure. 

Xiao Ning stood silently and waited for Old Li to calm down. He had many questions buried in his heart, and only the man standing in front could answer them. 

After a few moments, Xiao Ning led Old Li to his newly built courtyard and sat opposite him. 

"Young master, in the blink of an eye, you have grown so big. Master and mistress would be delighted to see as you are now." Old Li spoke gently. His eyes looked at Xiao Ning as if he was looking at his own son. 

Xiao Ning's eyes dimmed a little after he heard the meaning behind Old Li's words. 

Xiao Ning did not know that Old Li was an expert in the first place, so how could he blame him for Xi Yian's matter? 

"Old Li, where were you all this time?" Xiao Ning asked curiously. He had searched for the latter after he returned to the clan but couldn't find him. 

"Went to return the favor I owed someone," Old Li spoke casually. He then briefly recalled the matter between him and Yao Chen. 

Xiao Ning was slightly surprised after hearing this, but he did not comment on it. After all, Old Li was looking out for him in the first place. 

"How strong are you, Old Li?" Xiao Ning asked curiously. He felt as if Old Li was surrounded by a layer of fog. 

Old Li smiled lightly and said, "Half-Saint." 

Xiao Ning's eyes shrunk in horror, 'No wonder, no wonder,' he muttered inwardly. 

Old Li understood after seeing Xiao Ning's face and gave him some time to digest it. He sat calmly and continued to sip his tea. 

Xiao Ning took a deep breath and said, "It's shocking." Others might not know what the word 'Half-Saint' means, but how could he not? 

A half-saint could run amok throughout the dou qi continent, and now one of his father's followers turned out to be a half-saint. 

At the same time, he became more curious about his parents' affairs. What happened back then? Who was responsible for it? These questions burned in Xiao Ning's heart. 

A bright light flashed in his eyes, and Xiao Ning was about to speak, but Old Li stopped him and said, "Now is not the time." 

"Only by standing at the same height as me will you be qualified to know." Old Li spoke seriously. 

Xiao Ning's face also became serious as he listened, 'Dou Saint,' a word popped into his mind. Only a Dou Saint can make a half-saint this cautious. 

"Half-Saint? No, my goal is beyond that." Xiao Ning spoke calmly, but his voice displayed unwavering belief in himself. 

Old Li nodded in satisfaction. He has been secretly protecting Xiao Ning for a long time and knows that the latter did have the capital. 

......

After his reunion with Old Li, Xiao Ning went back to work. There were a lot of things that needed his approval. Old Li also acted as an ordinary servant, always following Xiao Ning. 

For this, Xiao Ning was helpless, but there was nothing he could do. 

Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and the Xiao Clan began to operate normally. Not only did the clansmen adapt to the new place, but they were also immensely satisfied with the new city. 

They felt very deeply, the previous Wu Tian City was a barren place, as compared to their new home.

Time passed swiftly, and a few days went by quickly. On this day, Xiao Ning once again felt the presence of others outside the secret realm. 

A gentle smile appeared on his face after he felt the resonance with his bloodline. Ya Fei, who stood beside, him asked softly, "Is it sister Cai Lin?" 

Xiao Ning nodded, "Let's go." 

Ya Fei nodded; she went with Xiao Ning, and her heart was filled with curiosity for the famous Queen Medusa. 

The next moment, Xiao Ning and Ya Fei appeared outside the valley and looked at the crowd in front. His eyes lit up after seeing Medusa standing in the front. 

He came up to her, held her soft hand, and asked with concern, "Is everything going well?" 

Medusa nodded gently, and her eyes went from Xiao Ning to Ya Fei standing behind him. 

She slowly walked up to her, held Ya Fei's hands, and spoke in a soft voice, "Sister." Medusa rarely put away her majesty and greeted Ya Fei as equal. 

An alluring smile bloomed on Ya Fei's face, and she nodded in return. 

Xiao Ning smiled in relief. He wasn't sure what would happen when the two would meet, but now everything seemed to be going in a good direction. 

Medusa and Ya Fei chuckled together after seeing Xiao Ning's reaction. The two women became familiar quickly and walked through the portal, leaving Xiao Ning behind with the snake-people clan.
