Changes in the Outside World
Just as Xiao Lin was trying time and again to comprehend the "Supreme," a storm was brewing in the outside world.
First of all, many factions were aware of the changes that Devouring Abyss.
However, due to its location in the Devouring Abyss and the obstruction of the Soul Hall, only members of the six Great Emperor clans were able to successfully enter.
However, to everyone's astonishment, the members of the six Great Emperor clans all managed to escape in a sorry state!
It's important to know that the six Great Emperor clans have sent quite a few Dou Sheng Experts to explore this place!
Other factions couldn't help but feel fortunate that they hadn't followed suit and entered the fray.
After leaving the Devouring Abyss, almost all six races returned without hesitation.
Hun Miesheng, who had been guarding the Devouring Abyss, was completely bewildered.
After all, in his view, the Hun Clan should have a sure victory in this exploration of the Devouring Abyss.
After all, their Hun Clan secretly sent one of the Four Demon Saints!
The strongest warriors sent by the other five races were only Four-Star Dou Sheng; what could they possibly use to compete with the Hun Clan?
Moreover, before entering the Devouring Abyss, Hun Yan had instructed him that he would find an opportunity to kill all five races, and even those from his own Hun Clan who entered it!
But what about now?
Not to mention the allied forces of the Hun Clan and the Soul Hall, most of the people from the five clans also escaped unharmed. However, Hun Yan, who had made threats beforehand, was nowhere to be found. How could this not puzzle Hun Miesheng?
As for the other five races, including the Soul Realm and the Hun Ling Spirits, joining forces to resist Hun Yan and thus escaping with a chance of survival, Hun Miesheng had never even considered the possibility of this!
It's not that the Soul Realm and the Hun Ling wouldn't do that, but even if they did, Hun Yan, as Seven-Star Dou Saint, would have the strength to suppress the entire scene by himself!
The resistance of a group of Four-Star Dou Sheng was nothing short of a joke in the eyes of Seven-Star Dou Saint.
Therefore, after the Soul Realm and the Hun Ling emerged, Hun Miesheng, with a gloomy expression, began to inquire.
"What exactly happened? Where is Hun Yan?"
Having not seen Hun Yan appear for a long time, Hun Miesheng had a bad feeling.
Looking into Hun Miesheng's eyes, the Soul Realm and the Hun Ling exchanged glances, their understanding almost unspoken.
Clearly, they had also realized that Hun Miesheng seemed to know Hun Yan's plan to trap and kill them in the Devouring Abyss as well!
It can only be said that the Hun Clan has gone too far in its internal competition!
"My Hall Master, this is what happened..."
Immediately, the Hun Ling, who was the Vice Hall Master of the Soul Hall, stepped forward to explain what had happened in the Devouring Abyss.
Hun Yan's death had nothing to do with them, so there was no reason for the Hun Ling to hesitate to speak out.
Therefore, the Hun Ling reported everything about how Hun Yan died at Shi Lingdao's hands and how his soul ended up in Xiao Lin's hands.
The Hun Ling didn't hide anything from this; the only thing they might have concealed was the agreement they briefly reached with the other five races in order to avoid dying.
As for their subsequent loss of consciousness and the subsequent encounter with a being possessing an Emperor Soul, the Hun Ling recounted everything truthfully.
Given this situation, it's perfectly reasonable for them to choose to run away, isn't it?
"... That's roughly how things went."
After Hun Ling finished speaking, Hun Miesheng glanced at the other members of the Hun Clan and the Soul Hall.
Seeing that they all nodded in agreement, Hun Miesheng fell silent.
After all, if the matter is true, it is quite normal for the Hun Clan to choose to escape from the Devouring Abyss.
Their group was at most Four-Star Dou Sheng, but in that godforsaken place, Eight-Star Dou Sheng and Emperor Soul experts appeared, and even Hun Yan, a Seven-Star Dou Saint, was killed. What could they possibly do?
As for the matter mentioned by the Hun Ling, that Lin Xiao, the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace Palace Master, possessed the strength of Three-Star Dou Sheng, Hun Miesheng didn't seem to care much.
Although the strength Xiao Lin displayed surprised him somewhat according to the Soul Hall's intelligence, that was all.
What concerned him even more was that Xiao Lin, like the Eight-Star Dou Sheng powerhouse in the Devouring Abyss, was a Spirit Array Master.
Furthermore, Hun Miesheng also realized that the Soul Realm and the Hun Ling Spirits probably knew that Hun Yan wanted to kill them along with the five races.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be so united in their story!
The Hun Clan is embroiled in internal competition; everyone is constantly digging their own graves and dragging each other down. As for so-called sincere cooperation?
Just listen to it!
Therefore, after realizing this, Hun Miesheng didn't press the matter further.
He was someone who knew about this matter, after all...
"I understand. You all should stay out of this matter and go back to what you were doing. I will return to the clan immediately to report this!"
Hun Miesheng didn't hesitate and immediately made arrangements.
As for continuing to garrison?
It's no longer necessary.
Given the inherent dangers of the Devouring Abyss, it makes no difference whether he's there to guard it or not.
He wouldn't care if people from other factions tried to get themselves killed by entering.
As for the arrangement regarding Hun Miesheng, neither the Hun Clan nor the Soul Hall members had any objections.
Subsequently, Hun Miesheng returned to his clan immediately.
The six clans departed.
However, they returned not long after they left!
However, fewer people returned this time.
"Buzz~"
As the ripples in the Void appeared, Gu Yuan stepped out from them in the next second.
After Gu Nanhai, Gu Xun'er, and the others returned to their clan and reported the matter, Gu Yuan chose to come and investigate personally.
The fall of Hun Yan, Eight-Star Dou Sheng Spirit Array Master, Emperor Soul expert, and one of the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan —Hun Yan if Gu Yuan didn't choose to go in person after considering these factors, it would only show that he was incredibly arrogant.
Not long after Gu Yuan appeared, two more figures arrived one after the other.
"Brother Gu Yuan!×2"
Two more ripples appeared in the Void, followed by the arrival of Yan Jin, the patriarch of the Yan Clan, and Lei Ying, the patriarch of the Lei Clan.
At this moment, the two of them also clasped their hands in greeting to Gu Yuan.
Both of them chose to come in person after hearing reports from their clansmen who had gone to Devouring Abyss.
Both of them were powerful experts at the Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng, and they had some confidence in themselves.
"Brother Lei Ying, Brother Yan Jin."
Gu Yuan nodded to the two of them at this moment.
The three of them then waited there for a while, and also chatted about the Devouring Abyss.
The three of them looked rather serious.
After all, they clearly hadn't anticipated that the Devouring Abyss would be so dangerous.
Fortunately, none of their respective tribes suffered any losses in the end; otherwise, they would have been at a huge disadvantage!
After waiting for a while and seeing no one else arrive, the three of them basically understood what was going on.
"It seems the Yao Clan and the Stone Clan aren't planning to participate in the upcoming exploration! But why is the Hun Clan also...?"
Yan Jin's tone sounded somewhat puzzled.
The danger of the Devouring Abyss deterred the Yao Clan and the Stone Clan from further exploration, a fact they could have foreseen.
The strongest warriors of both races could not overcome Hun Yan, and now that Hun Yan is dead, neither race dares to continue exploring.
But the Hun Clan didn't come either, which was not what Yan Jin had expected.
In response, Gu Yuan's lips curled into a smile.
"It seems that the battle with Zhukun back then caused the Hun Tiandi quite a loss!"
Gu Yuan's tone sounded somewhat gloating.
All I can say is that the days when the Hun Tiandi was injured were truly comfortable for him!
Indeed, it was just as Gu Yuan had thought.
The Hun Tiandi was recuperating from his injuries and was not planning to explore with Gu Yuan and the other two this time.
He just wants to recover from his injury as quickly as possible!
