All Gather in the Black Corner Region
Having taken Nalan Yanran with him, Mo Tang went to the Mo Alliance again and took Mo Linglin with him as well.
Aside from the two women, Mo Tang didn't care about the rest of the people who remained in the Jia Ma Empire. Besides, he figured the Soul Clan wouldn't be foolish enough to use these people to threaten him.
However, Mo Tang did not take the two women directly to Central Plains. After all, he was just an avatar, and his main mission was still in the Northwest Continent. So he temporarily took the two women to the Heavenly Snake Mansion in the Black Corner Region and entrusted them to Qing Lin's care.
Even if the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion opens, Mo Tang doesn't plan to take Qing Lin and the others inside. Instead, he will have them stay outside in case anything unexpected happens.
Ultimately, Mo Tang still needs to be wary of the Gu Clan...
Inside the main hall of the Soul Realm.
"You're saying the mission failed?" On the throne of the main hall, the Hun Tiandi narrowed his eyes and looked at the kneeling figure below who was trembling slightly, and said in a calm voice.
"Yes, for some reason, Hun Yao went to capture Nalan Yanran, but there has been no news of him since then, and none of us have discovered any battle breaking out in Misty Cloud Mountain."
When we went to check afterward, Hun Yao had already disappeared, and Nalan Yanran had also vanished without a trace..." The figure below was covered in cold sweat, but his voice was still quite clear.
After all, he was one of the few remaining strong members of the Soul Clan. However, the current Hun Tiandi was too ruthless in his killings, even towards his own clansmen. Therefore, even they feared the current Hun Tiandi like the plague.
"Has there been any news from Hun Miesheng?" Hun Tiandi asked, his eyes slightly closed.
As for Nalan Yanran's matter, it was merely a side pawn, and since it failed, so be it. As for the vanished Hun Yao, it was clear that his fate was likely grim, so the Hun Tiandi didn't bother to inquire further.
The task of searching for the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion was entrusted to Hun Miesheng, the second strongest member of the Soul Clan. After so much time, there should be news by now.
Just as the figure below was about to answer, a sudden surge of black mist appeared in the hall, and then Hun Miesheng's figure appeared below the hall.
"Clan leader, we have news!" Hun Miesheng's Hun Miesheng voice was tinged with excitement, clearly indicating that he had made some progress.
"Speak!" The Hun Tiandi suddenly opened his eyes and coldly uttered a single word.
Hun Miesheng said in a deep voice, "Based on our investigation of all the possible locations of the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion, we have determined that there is an 80% chance that the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion is located in the Black Corner Region. Moreover, I have also discovered that the experts from the Four Directions Alliance and the Myriad Beast Alliance have gathered in the Central Plains. Judging from their movements, they seem to be heading towards the Black Corner Region as well. Therefore, I am certain that the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion is located in the Black Corner Region!"
Nodding slightly, the Hun Tiandi wasn't particularly excited. Even if the other side found the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion first, so what? Without the Ancient Emperor Jade in his possession, they still couldn't get in.
Of course, the Hun Tiandi wouldn't easily let Mo Tang and Gu Yuan gain the upper hand, so he also stood up, his sharp gaze sweeping across the entire scene, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, head to the Black Corner Region!"
In the Star Realm, atop a Stone Tower, Gu Yuan sat cross-legged, his vast soul power surging around him, filling the entire Stone Tower with a terrifying pressure. Under this pressure, apart from a handful of people, no one else dared to approach within a hundred feet of the Stone Tower.
At the top of the Stone Tower, Gu Yuan's face was ashen, his eyes slightly closed. His vast and boundless soul power merged into the void, and in a mysterious way, he detected the direction of the Soul Realm. Then, he transformed into strands of soul power and wrapped them around it. In this way, he could detect even the slightest fluctuations in that space.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Gu Yuan, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened them wide. His eyes seemed to reflect the endless void, taking in everything.
"The Soul Clan has made a move..."
The entire Soul Clan mobilized, and this commotion naturally did not escape Gu Yuan's notice.
Since the Soul Clan has made a move, it means that the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion has likely already been discovered. However, Gu Yuan is not worried that the Soul Clan will enter beforehand, since Mo Tang has a piece of the Ancient Emperor Jade.
Of course, this matter should also be discussed with the Four Directions Alliance, as they cannot fall too far behind the Soul Clan.
However, upon his arrival in the Ancient Realm, he immediately received a message from Mo Tang, instructing him to gather powerful individuals and come to the Black Corner Region. Clearly, the Four Directions Alliance had also located the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion ...
Gu Yuan didn't think too much about it.
On the continent today, the Gu Clan race is actually the weakest of the three.
Although the Soul Clan can now be considered almost extinct, the Hun Tiandi still exists, and he even has a clone who is also Nine-star Dou Sheng, which means that his strength far surpasses that of the Gu Clan.
As for Mo Tang, he holds the two strongest alliances in the Central Plains and the Beast Region, the Four Directions Alliance and the Myriad Beast Alliance. Even Hun Tiandi, who has an avatar at the same level as himself, would be at a disadvantage against the former.
Seriously, those women around that guy are just too strong!
Especially that new Dragon Emperor... not only is he powerful in battle, but he also commands the strongest Demonic Beast race, the Ancient Void Dragon!
However, to Gu Yuan's relief, when he returned to the Ancient Realm, Gu Xun'er had also emerged from the Heavenly Tomb...
Gu Yuan was also very surprised to see his daughter, who was now surging with overwhelming power.
"You mean you met Xiao Xuan in the Heavenly Tomb and even received his help to break through to the Seven-star Dou Sheng?"
Before entering the Heavenly Tomb, Gu Xun'er was only at the level of Five-star Dou Sheng. In such a short time, she has directly crossed two major realms, which is comparable to the hard work of others over hundreds of years!
Gu Xun'er nodded, her expression not particularly excited, and said, "Yes, Father. Moreover, not only did I receive Senior Xiao Xuan's help to break through my cultivation, but I also fused with the Xiao Clan's bloodline, elevating my own bloodline to another level..."
This statement surprised Gu Yuan once again.
For an ancient race, the importance of passing on their bloodline is beyond question. I never expected that Xiao Xuan would be willing to use it to help his daughter...
Of course, there was one thing Gu Xun'er hadn't finished saying: obtaining these things from Xiao Xuan came with conditions.
The most crucial point is that Gu Xun'er needs to find the remaining members of the Xiao Clan, then select the most talented among them, and bring them to the Heavenly Tomb to receive the Xiao Clan family bloodline baptism prepared by Xiao Xuan. Furthermore, before the Xiao Clan members mature, the Gu Clan must also promise to fully support Xiao Clan growth...
From Gu Xun'er, Xiao Xuan also learned about the events that had happened in the outside world over the years. This was the only way he could think of to restore the Xiao Clan.
Gu Yuan readily agreed.
Without the threat of the Soul Clan, protecting the few remaining members of the Xiao Clan would be a piece of cake, especially since the reward offered by Xiao Xuan was something Gu Yuan couldn't refuse.
Hearing this unexpected good news, Gu Yuan, in high spirits, led the Gu Clan's powerful warriors towards the Black Corner Region...
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the Black Corner Region!
