"???"
Huo Zhi looked at me in surprise. "Didn't you already kill the people from the Soul Clan?"
I replied as if it were only natural, "The Soul Clan doesn't consist of just those few people. I killed their people, so with their temperament, shouldn't they send even more people to kill me?"
Huo Zhi: ...
Huo Xuan sneered. "The Soul Clan bastards have always been mysterious and never got along with the other clans. Every clan has four slots, yet they only sent three people. The one truly intending to enter the Heavenly Tomb is probably Hun Ya alone. This is all because they were guarding against the Ancient Clan."
"Now that Hun Ya and a Venerable were killed in Ancient Saint City, unless the Soul Clan sends a Dou Sheng to escort them, how would they dare send anyone else to the Ancient Realm?"
So that was the reasoning? On second thought, it did seem right. As we spoke, Gu Xun personally made his move and opened the gate to the Heavenly Tomb!
It stood within a fissure split down the middle of the mountain. Space was torn apart, revealing a passage leading deep into the void.
"The Heavenly Tomb is open. I assume everyone knows the rules, but since the Xiao Clan is also here this time, this old man will repeat them."
Gu Xun's gaze fell on our group. It swept over me before settling on Xiao Yan, who was snuggled up with Xun Er. His expression was quite amiable.
"The Heavenly Tomb will remain open for three years. Each clan may send only four people in each time, no more. When the three-year period ends, you must not linger in the Heavenly Tomb. Those who are alive must come out immediately!"
"Do you all understand?"
