Heir, the Great Battle Begins

Within the Soul Realm's main hall.

"You said the mission failed?"

From the chief seat in the hall, Soul Heavenly Emperor narrowed his eyes as he gazed at the figure kneeling below, trembling faintly. His voice was calm.

"Yes... I don't know why, but our movements were detected by Mo Yu and Xiao Yan. Not long after Hun You and the others arrived in the Black Corner Region, they were all buried at the hands of those two." The figure below was drenched in cold sweat, but his report remained fairly clear.

"How did Mo Yu and the others discover their movements?" Soul Heavenly Emperor asked with a darkened expression.

"Clan Head, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan both came from Jia Nan Academy. This time, the Academy probably sensed danger and requested their assistance. In my opinion, he definitely doesn't know our objective!" the man hurriedly said.

"Hmph. Those two boys are as cunning as foxes. Who knows what they're thinking? Besides, if they hadn't already been on guard, could they have arrived in time even if the Academy had sent them a distress signal?" Nihility Devouring Flame snorted coldly from the side.

Hearing this, the kneeling man opened his mouth, then answered submissively.

"You mean... the Allied Forces also know that the Ancient Emperor's Cave is in the Black Corner Region?" Soul Heavenly Emperor frowned.

"That possibility cannot be ruled out." Black flames surged in Nihility Devouring Flame's eyes as he said heavily, "Regardless of whether he has noticed anything, we should begin moving. Otherwise, if something goes wrong later, it will be a devastating blow to us!"

"Mm. Delay invites change." Soul Heavenly Emperor pondered
