The Fisherman's Plan

While things may seem relaxed, the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe still needs to make necessary preparations.

No one knows whether the mastermind behind this will take action against the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.

So the elders began to discuss this matter.

Zi Yan sat on the throne, watching their discussion with some boredom. She only needed to wait for the discussion to conclude before making a decision.

After listening quietly for a while, Zi Yan stood up with a look of surprise on her face.

"Xiao Ming!"

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped discussing and looked towards the door.

Xiao Ming, dressed in white with black hair falling to his shoulders, stepped into the Council Hall with a gentle smile on his face.

"This is... another breakthrough?!"

Upon seeing Xiao Ming and Zhu Xun, several elders whose strength ranked among the top in the Ancient Dragon Clan, Tong Kong couldn't help but shrink back.

Because they couldn't even sense Xiao Ming's presence, if they couldn't see Xiao Ming with their own eyes, they would definitely think that the place where Xiao Ming was was just thin air.

This eerie feeling is best described by Zhu Xun, currently the strongest person on Ancient Dragon Island.

His strength was at the Eight Star Early Stage. It was absolutely impossible for Xiao Ming, with his Emperor Realm Soul, to hide his Aura so perfectly in front of him. The current situation could only mean that Xiao Ming's realm had reached or even Exceeded his!

Just over six months ago, Xiao Ming was only a mid-stage six-star Dou Sheng. How long has it been since then, and he's already an eight-star Dou Sheng?!

Zhu Xun was shocked, but when he thought of Xiao Ming Alchemist and the thunderclouds that had been covering Ancient Dragon Island these past few days, he felt somewhat relieved.

Who made Xiao Ming Alchemist? However, on the entire continent, he was the only Alchemist of Xiao Ming caliber.

That's good too. With a powerful son-in-law, the chances of rescuing the Old Dragon Emperor are much greater!

"I sensed you were here as soon as I came out of the pass. I hope I didn't disturb you? What are you discussing?"

Seeing the shocked faces of everyone, Xiao Ming didn't care and just asked with a light laugh.

With Xiao Ming's strength, he could have easily discerned their discussion with a mere sweep of his Soul Power, but out of respect, he refrained from doing so.

"Us..."

Zi Yan stepped forward and led Xiao Ming to her seat, sitting down close to him. She then informed Xiao Ming of the annihilation of the Stone Clan.

However, to their surprise, Xiao Ming didn't seem surprised at all.

Seeing this, the elders of the Ancient Void Dragon couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Xiao Ming, why do you look like you expected this? Did you foresee this?"

Zi Yan also looked at Xiao Ming curiously. Xiao Ming had mentioned some things to her before, but he hadn't gone into detail.

Under the gaze of everyone, Xiao Ming remained calm and spoke slowly.

"This was actually done by the Soul Clan."

"What!"

These words surprised everyone. Although they also suspected the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan, none of them were as certain as Xiao Ming.

Seeing their confusion, Xiao Ming smiled gently.

"You may not know this, but the Soul Clan began plotting for the Tou She Ancient God Jade a long time ago. As you know, my Xiao Family also possesses a Tou She Ancient God Jade Fragment. The Soul Clan has done me no small Tou She Ancient God Jade. The Heavenly Court was established to prevent the Soul Clan from interfering. Only Zi Yan is truly aware of this matter."

In fact, the Ancient Clan also wanted to collect the Tou She Ancient God Jade, but they were not as enthusiastic as the Soul Clan and did not have any plans. Xiao Ming did not mention the Ancient Clan's affairs, but continued to speak.

"... Therefore, the Soul Clan has both the reason and the capability to take action."

"This..."

The elders of Ancient Dragon Island did not completely lose their doubt upon hearing this.

Xiao Ming didn't mind, and continued to explain the strength of the Soul Clan to them. Apart from not explaining the source of the information, Xiao Ming told them everything else he could.

When the audience heard that the Soul Clan had at least four eight-star Dou Sheng, eight or nine seven-star Dou Sheng, and two nine-star Dou Sheng, Void Devouring Flame and Soul Emperor, the hall fell silent.

The reason is simple: the Soul Clan's strength is simply too terrifying!

It should be noted that the current strength of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan is only two Early Eight-Star Dou Sheng and one Seven Star Late Stage. Zi Yan can fight across ranks, so she can also be considered a High Star Combat Power.

From this perspective, with Zhu Kun sealed away, the Soul Clan could at least defeat three or four Ancient Void Dragon Clan.

This is ridiculous!

No wonder the Soul Clan was able to wipe out the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan. You have to understand, these two ancient Clan Competition the Ancient Void Dragon!

Looking at the silent Ancient Void Dragon, Xiao Ming shook his head. He knew this fact was hard to accept, but he had to say it.

The annihilation of the Stone Clan demonstrates that the Soul Clan is eager to take action.

If the Soul Clan were allowed to take action and wipe out the other four clans, he wouldn't be afraid of being alone; having broken through to the eighth-star Dou Sheng level, he was already fearless.

Even against an eight-star Dou Sheng of the same level, he could win without using one hand, requiring only a few moves.

The Void Devouring Flame could easily devour a nine-star early-stage cultivator who could be held back by two or three eight-star Dou Shengs, but in front of him, it was like a piece of cake. He could eat it however he wanted, and even increase his cultivation level after eating it.

Even if Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi, Nine Star Dou Sheng Late Stage, clashed head-on, he wouldn't stand a chance.

However, he wasn't alone.

If the Soul Clan were to launch a silent sneak attack, given Soul Clan millennia of preparation, even a powerful array would be enough to give him a headache.

Therefore, necessary reminders should not be overlooked, as this can strengthen prevention.

It would be best to create your own formation or something, to prevent problems before they occur.

The somber atmosphere lasted for a while, as the elders all looked rather worried.

Xiao Ming offered words of comfort.

"Please rest assured, everyone. My cultivation level has recently broken through, and I can barely hold my own against a weaker Nine Star Dou Sheng. I will not stand idly by regarding the Old Dragon Emperor's matter. Moreover, the Ancient Void Dragon is a member of the Heavenly Court, and Heavenly Court will provide support for rescuing the Old Dragon Emperor, both morally and logically."

Although he was confident, Xiao Ming did not speak definitively.

The elders didn't doubt Xiao Ming's words; they knew a little about Xiao Ming, their future son-in-law.

Xiao Ming was a ruthless man who could kill the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Palace when he was an eight-star Dou Zun. It's not an exaggeration for him to fight a nine-star Dou Sheng now when he is an eight-star Dou Sheng. Besides, there's no need to lie about this.

The crowd's emotions calmed down a little.

"Should we warn the other Ancient Race to be wary of the Soul Clan? If the Soul Clan succeeds, it will be a huge problem for us."

Someone had the same idea as Xiao Ming.

"No need, they won't believe us. We just need to sit back and reap the benefits when they start fighting."

Those Ancient Race had no basis for trust with Xiao Ming, so how could they trust Xiao Ming like the Ancient Void Dragon Clan did?
