Meanwhile.
In a somewhat dim space, black mist permeated the air, while chilling power ravaged the surroundings, filling the place with an eerie aura so dense it could not be dispersed.
Deep within this environment, two figures floated cross-legged in the void. One of them was Nihility Devouring Flame, who had returned from the Central Plains.
"Nihility, what do you think about Tou She Ancient God's Mansion?"
Opposite Nihility Devouring Flame sat a man in white. He was handsome and refined, an exceptionally conspicuous presence in this space dominated by black, sinister hues.
"It should be true. You can send people to investigate, but by my estimation, that person and Gu Yuan have probably already formed an alliance. It will not be easy to eliminate him now."
Nihility Devouring Flame fixed his gaze on the man in white and spoke indifferently.
"This Devouring Owl Saint is hiding a great secret. Since he cannot be used by our Hun Clan, he must be eliminated as soon as possible."
After pondering for a moment, a ruthless glint flashed through the man's eyes.
"Hun Tiandi, I hope you will leave him to me. There are ten Heavenly Flames within him. I like them very much."
At those words, the bottomless abyss-like eyes of Nihility Devouring Flame flickered.
Indeed, this man in white was Hun Tiandi, the current chief of the Hun Clan, whose strength had reached the Peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng.
"Nihility, you are still the same as ever. Fine. After devouring those Heavenly Flames, your strength should improve considerably."
"However, the Ancient Clan has always been a problem. Do not make your movements too obvious when you act, lest it affect our future plans."
Hun Tiandi curled his lips into an unreadable smile and cautioned Nihility Devouring Flame.
"Your concerns are unnecessary.
