Secrets of the Soul Clan
Xiao Ming's thoughts were unknown to Gu Yuan and the others; otherwise, they would certainly be discussing not only how to deal with the Soul Clan, but also how to eliminate Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming is very young, but he is already a high-level Dou Sheng. Being targeted by someone like him is a terrifying thing.
Even if Xiao Ming was somewhat wary and didn't make a move, his age was a factor, and he could outlast these old guys, especially since Xiao Ming's strength was improving very quickly.
The ancient, thunder, and flame clans may not be entirely without fear of Xiao Ming, but with the Hall of Souls as their formidable enemy, they have no time to spare for him.
Once the Soul Clan is dealt with, perhaps time will be available to consider how to face Xiao Ming.
Of course, Gu Yuan and his group's current target is still the Soul Clan.
In the hall, Gu Yuan and the others chatted for a while. When the topic turned to the strength of the Soul Clan, Xiao Ming, who had been rather indifferent, suddenly spoke up.
"I wonder if the Clan Leader Gu has ever heard of the so-called Tunling Clan?"
"Kacha!"
As soon as Xiao Ming finished speaking, a series of wine cups shattered in the hall. Many elders looked up sharply, their eyes fixed on Xiao Ming, and there was even a hint of fear in their eyes.
"The Tunling Clan..."
Gu Yuan's face visibly twitched slightly when Xiao Ming uttered those three words. He then took a deep breath, stared at Xiao Ming with a puzzled look, and said:
"Of course I know about the Tunling Clan. It is a strange race from Ancient Times. According to ancient records, the Tunling Clan once stirred up countless bloody storms on the Dou Qi Continent. But why do you ask this?"
"The Clan Leader Gu should know that the Soul Clan possesses the Nihility Devouring Flame, right?"
"Yes, I fought against the Nihility Devouring Flame back then and severely injured him. After that, I never heard from him again. He should be healing his wounds." Gu Yuan nodded and said.
Xiao Ming smiled upon hearing this and said.
"As we all know, the inheritance of Ancient Race relies on the Bloodline Power. If the Bloodline Power of a race is exhausted, then they will become no different from ordinary people. Generally speaking, every Ancient Race has a time when its bloodline is exhausted. Of course, this is on the premise that no Dou Di powerhouse has appeared in the race during that period."
"As far as I know, the Nihility Devouring Flame once devoured the Clan Leader of the Spirit Devouring Clan, and the continuous inheritance of the Soul Clan's bloodline over the years is related to this. In return, the Nihility Devouring Flame has been supported by the Soul Clan, and the Soul Clan Hall of Souls was an organization established by the Soul Origin to collect soul essence for its breakthrough to the Emperor Realm Soul. Now that the Soul Clan has made its move, it seems that the Nihility Devouring Flame has recovered its strength and broken through to the Nine Star Dou Sheng, or even the Emperor Realm."
"This also means that the Soul Clan has two Nine Star Dou Sheng..."
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked grim.
It's important to understand that Nine Star Dou Sheng with Emperor Realm Soul is a completely different thing from Nine Star Dou Sheng without Emperor Realm Soul.
The former can easily dominate the latter.
The Void Nihility Devouring Flame wasn't a secret among the Soul Clan, but they never imagined that it could break through to the Nine-Star and that the soul could also break through to the Emperor Realm.
No one doubted Xiao Ming's words. After all, Xiao Ming was the leader of a major power and had fought against the Soul Clan many times. It was normal for him to have some intelligence.
Xiao Ming had warned them before, but they didn't listen.
"I remember that the last Clan Leader of the Tunling Clan was indeed killed by the Soul Clan. Since then, the Tunling Clan has completely disappeared from the world. However, the Soul Clan has continued to this day. I didn't expect them to have such an opportunity." Gu Yuan's expression was also quite solemn.
"With the dwindling number of Dou Di powerhouses on the Dou Qi Continent, the Ancient Race of the past declined or disappeared one after another. The ways in which some of these races vanished were quite bizarre, and now that I think about it, they were quite similar to what the Stone Clan and the Spirit Clan experienced..."
"Now I understand why the Soul Clan was able to evade our detection."
Gu Yuan lightly drew a circle in front of him with his finger, then grasped it in his hand, saying, "Because the Nihility Devouring Flame swallowed the entire space into its body..."
"Hiss..."
Upon hearing this, many people in the hall gasped in astonishment, as if swallowing the entire space itself. Was that really something a human could do?
"He's not human..."
Gu Yuan smiled calmly, but a hint of coldness flickered in his eyes:
"Having not fought for so many years, it seems his mastery of the Devouring Power has reached its peak. Back then, he couldn't even muster such skills. It seems his strength has indeed improved greatly; he must have broken through to the nine- Nine-Star..."
Gu Yuan's words almost proved the accuracy of Xiao Ming's information.
Nine Star Dou Sheng is the most elite existence in this world. Two Nine Star Dou Sheng are something even the Ancient Clan cannot compare to.
The main hall fell silent as a result. No one spoke again. No one expected that the Soul Clan would be hiding these things. If it weren't for Xiao Ming, they would probably have remained in the dark forever.
Seeing the somber expressions on everyone's faces, Xiao Ming didn't have any particular thoughts. He had informed the three clans of the information to prevent them from being wiped out by the Soul Clan in one fell swoop. If they were really wiped out, how could he carry out his plan?
After a while, Xiao Ming started revealing more information.
This time, he directly produced a massive black door filled with an eerie Aura, attracting everyone's attention.
"Is this the legendary Gate of Silence?"
Those present all had some discerning eyes; some recognized the door and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Xiao Ming nodded. "It is indeed the Gate of Silence. I seized it from an Eight-Star elder of the Soul Clan. As far as I know, the Soul Clan possesses more Gate of Silence, and multiple Gate of Silence can form the Death Realm Great Formation."
Xiao Ming's words silenced everyone once again.
The Death Realm Array was a notorious array in the Central Continent. Only by constructing four gates of deathly silence could one create a death realm. Any powerful individual who fell into it, even a seven-star or eight-star Dou Sheng, would be enveloped by endless death aura and eventually succumb to it.
In those Ancient Times, there were many rumors of powerful sects being wiped out by such deadly formations.
What Xiao Ming is implying is that the Soul Clan might also form a death barrier array to deal with them.
If Xiao Ming hadn't spoken up, even if the top experts among them could withstand such a formation, the weaker ones would suffer enormous losses—losses they couldn't afford.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Xiao Ming with gratitude, completely unaware that Xiao Ming was simply asking them to fight the Soul Clan so that he could reap the benefits.
