The Ancient Clan's Warehouse Still Has Xiao Clan's Belongings!

Ancient Clan, Elder Council Hall.

Everyone was shocked to hear that the brothers Gu Qian and Gu Xu had fallen!

Especially when they heard that the Mystic-Grade Warehouse had been robbed!

The entire assembly was filled with rage!

This warehouse was located deep within the Ancient Realm of the Ancient Clan, surrounded by heavy defenses. Even for members of the clan, it was strictly forbidden to enter without an Elder's Token!

How could it have been robbed?

Tong Xuan, forced to interrupt his healing, frowned and asked, "Gu Shan, what exactly happened? How could Gu Qian and Gu Xu have been so severely injured and killed out of the blue?"

"And how could our Ancient Clan's Mystic-Grade Warehouse have been robbed!!"

Tong Xuan clutched his chest, feeling the soul injury inflicted by Xiao Xuan's soul pressure throbbing with pain once again!

The minor recovery he had managed to achieve was now worsening.

Everyone turned their eyes toward Gu Shan, who had been possessed by Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan sighed with a practiced air, wearing an expression of deep grief and indignation.

He then recounted a story he had fabricated by synthesizing the information he had extracted from the souls and memories of Gu Xu, Gu Shan, and the others.

In his version, when Gu Qian was sent to the Northwest Continent to retrieve Xun Er, he had taken it upon himself to destroy a branch hall of the Soul Hall.

He had lost an arm in the process.

The Soul Hall had then used a bizarre method to invade his soul through his wound!

They had infiltrated the Ancient Clan, and while he and Gu Xu were helping him heal, they had struck, killing Gu Xu.

They had then severely wounded him, looted the treasures from the Mystic-Grade Warehouse, and fled.

The Ancient Clan Elders present were incensed upon hearing this.

They were absolutely furious.

Gu Da, in particular, slammed the table and shouted, "Elder Tong Xuan, the Soul Hall and the Hun Clan are bullying us too much! We must strike back!"

"That's right! Otherwise, the Hun Clan will think that our Ancient Clan is easy to push around!"

Gu Cai added, his voice filled with righteous indignation.

Currently, the Elders above the level of Dou Saint were either recovering from injuries or in seclusion to breakthrough.

Tong Xuan was the strongest person present!

Naturally, he had become the backbone of the group.

However, a war with the Soul Hall and the Hun Clan was a matter of grave importance.

Tong Xuan did not dare to make a decision lightly.

He led the group to the Mystic-Grade Warehouse.

There, they indeed sensed the lingering aura of Gu Qian and Gu Xu's bloodline power!

This made them believe Gu Shan's story even more firmly.

Tong Xuan was still hesitating.

Just then, a member of the Ancient Clan arrived to report.

He stated that several Dou Venerable powerhouses of the Ancient Clan had encountered members of the Soul Hall while conducting business in the Central Plains.

Who would have thought that the Venerable Elders of the Soul Hall would use lethal moves the moment they attacked!

Three Dou Venerables were killed on the spot!

Gu Chao had only managed to escape by self-destructing his physical body and attaching his soul to an Ancient Clan jade talisman!

After delivering the message, Gu Chao's soul succumbed to his severe injuries and dissipated.

Even Tong Xuan was trembling with rage.

Seizing the opportunity, Gu Shan fanned the flames from the side, "The Soul Hall is practically defecating on the heads of the Ancient Clan! If we do nothing, the clansmen will lose heart!"

"Gu Shan is right! It is time to give those bastards from the Soul Hall a taste of their own medicine!"

Gu Da clenched his fists, itching to charge into the Soul Hall headquarters and slaughter everyone in sight.

Of course, with his strength as a seven-star Dou Venerable, if he were to actually charge in!

He would be the first one to be killed in an instant!

Tong Xuan also felt this made sense; since the people of the Soul Hall had no honor and had struck at their Dou Venerable powerhouses first.

Then, it was only natural for them to retaliate in kind.

With Xiao Xuan constantly adding fuel to the fire.

He finally pushed Tong Xuan over the edge.

"Very well! The evidence that the Soul Hall infiltrated our Ancient Clan to rob our warehouse and murder our Dou Venerable powerhouses is irrefutable. Everyone, from this day forward, whenever you are out and encounter members of the Soul Hall... no, the Hun Clan—anyone below the peak of the Dou Venerable realm, if you can kill them, do not show any mercy!!"

"Good!"

The morale of the crowd soared!

Soul Hall!

Dare to kill members of the Ancient Clan, then prepare to face the wrath of the Ancient Clan!

This also marked the success of the first step in Xiao Xuan's plan.

Logically speaking, with his strength, he could have completely slaughtered the Ancient Clan until only Gu Yuan remained!

Why didn't he do so?

Meanwhile.

Soul Realm, Hun Clan.

On the mountain peak where the patriarch resided!

The air behind Hun Tiandi rippled.

Then, the figure of Nihility Devouring Flame emerged.

Hun Tiandi asked without turning his head: "During this period, has the Ancient Clan shown any unusual movements?"

"All elders of the Ancient Clan above the Dou Saint level have gone into seclusion for unknown reasons. As for Gu Yuan... I do not know what he is doing."

Nihility Devouring Flame replied.

During this time, he had been lurking in the void near the Heavenly Tomb.

Occasionally, he would gather information outside the Ancient Realm.

He dared not wander around within the territory of the Ancient Realm!

Back then, he had encountered Gu Yuan and was severely wounded by him; even after hundreds of years, he had yet to fully recover!

For the sake of that plan, he had to be careful and could not afford to be injured by him again.

Hun Tiandi frowned upon hearing this.

"What is that bastard Gu Yuan trying to do again?"

"I don't know, but given Gu Yuan's temperament, he shouldn't be capable of doing something like Xiao Xuan."

"I know, but the fragmented message Hun Yang sent back last time mentioned Xiao Xuan, and I can't help but feel uneasy. Coupled with the fact that Gu Yuan's whereabouts are unknown, it is somewhat suspicious."

Hun Tiandi had been wondering if this message was intentionally leaked by Gu Yuan to confuse them.

To make them afraid to act rashly!

"By the way, I also picked up another piece of information..."

Nihility Devouring Flame hesitated, his expression somewhat strange.

Seeing his expression, Hun Tiandi asked: "Is it related to our clan?"

Nihility Devouring Flame nodded: "I heard they intend to go to the Central Plains to intercept and kill the Dou Venerables of the Soul Hall and the Hun Clan."

"Heh, relying on them?"

Hun Tiandi smiled faintly.

Nihility Devouring Flame asked: "What do you intend to do?"

"Since the Ancient Clan wants to play, This Seat doesn't mind playing along with them! Besides, This Seat has long since prepared a countermeasure!"

"Are you planning to do that thing?"

Hun Tiandi nodded.

Excitement and anticipation surged in the eyes of Nihility Devouring Flame!

"Hun Tiandi, over these years, I have done quite a lot for your Hun Clan; you must remember the agreement between us!"

"Heh, can you not trust the character of This Seat?"

"I am merely offering a reminder."

A strange glint flashed in the eyes of Nihility Devouring Flame.

Immediately, his massive body vanished from this space.

Hun Tiandi let out a soft chuckle as well.

On the other side.

Ancient Realm.

The Ancient Clan dispatched over twenty Dou Venerable experts, carrying the unique Message Talisman of the Ancient Clan, and departed from the Ancient Realm.

Their target was clear: all the branch halls of the Soul Hall in the Central Plains!

And at this moment, within the Ancient Clan.

Gu Shan, whose body had been possessed by Xiao Xuan, took on the heavy responsibility of guarding the Ancient Clan!

"I have to say, this bunch of people are truly idiots!"

Xiao Xuan walked through the Ancient Clan.

Wherever he went, the members of the Ancient Clan would bow respectfully to him.

Following the memories of Gu Shan, Xiao Xuan arrived at the Earth-Grade Warehouse of the Ancient Clan.

"I'll go in and see if there's anything unusual!"

Presenting the Ancient Clan Elder Token, Xiao Xuan walked into the warehouse with ease!

The items here were a hundred times more abundant than those in the Profound-Grade warehouse!

Earth-tier cultivation techniques, battle skills, and rare heavenly treasures were countless!

Xiao Xuan even discovered quite a few cultivation techniques and battle skills that had originally belonged to the Xiao Clan!
