The Ling Clan Appears

"What? You're a member of the Ling Clan?"

It's not that the Gu Clan already knows the Ling Clan has been wiped out; they simply assume the Ling Clan originally didn't intend to participate in this trip to the Heavenly Tomb, but then reappeared. That's all.

Furthermore, if I had to pinpoint a reason, I'm curious why the Ling Clan members would mingle with the people from the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.

It can be said that Ling Miao's appearance was far beyond the expectations of that Gu Clan Elder.

This could lead to changes in the list of the Gu Clan members to be sent to the Heavenly Tomb, which was discussed within their Gu Clan over the past two days.

Faced with such a momentous matter, even this Gu Clan Elder, who possessed only the strength of Half-Saint, was unsure of what to do. Therefore, he hastily suspended the opening of the Heavenly Tomb and instead contacted the other Leadership of the Gu Clan.

It was during this time when the Gu Clan Elder was contacting the clan's Leadership that the others around him were also shocked by Ling Miao's sudden revelation of her identity.

"Second brother, is your teacher a member of the Ling Clan?"

Xiao Yan's face was also filled with disbelief.

"Hehe, it can only be described as a coincidence."

Xiao Li, on the other hand, remained quite calm.

You should know that this so-called coincidence almost cost him his life!

It was only after that that he learned most of his grandfather's strength.

As for why Ling Miao chose to take Xiao Li as her disciple, a large part of the reason was to repay a debt of gratitude.

After all, if she hadn't happened to encounter Xiao Li when she escaped from the Ling Realm, how could she have survived and thus preserved a trace of the Ling Clan's bloodline?

Over the years, besides Ling Miao herself, the four remaining members of her clan who came from the Ling Clan have also gradually grown up.

Now, those four descendants of the Ling Clan are all roughly at the Late-Stage Dou Zong.

I think I should be able to break through to the Dou Venerable in another year or two.

Because the Heavenly Tomb Trial is not something that Dou Zong) can participate in, Ling Miao did not bring her remaining four clansmen this time.

However, as for the Ling Clan's Heavenly Tomb slots, once she shows up, it's up to her to decide!

"It seems that Second Brother has encountered quite a few opportunities during his years of wandering in Central Plains!"

Xiao Yan sighed at this moment.

"Hehe, Xiao Yan, your second brother's situation is more than just a stroke of luck. If my senses are correct, your second brother's teacher from the Ling Clan is even stronger than me!"

Just after Xiao Yan finished speaking, Yao Lao suddenly chuckled and said something.

Upon hearing his teacher's words, Xiao Yan was momentarily stunned.

"A Dou Sheng? Dou Sheng who surpasses the teacher?"

Clearly, Yao Lao's words surprised Xiao Yan even more.

His own teacher was currently at the Late-Stage One-Star Dou Saint, which meant that his second brother's beautiful teacher was a super strong expert at least Two-Star Dou Saint?

It comes to mind that the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace also has a mysterious Second Palace Master.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace!

Three Dou Sheng, and the lowest level among them is two stars.

With such strength, it's no wonder even Emperor Clans treat them with respect!

Of course, Ling Miao's sudden appearance didn't only shock Xiao Yan and the others; the other Emperor Clans were also astonished!

"Strange, didn't the Ling Clan seal off the Ling Realm? Logically speaking, no clansmen should be venturing out anymore, so why are there still people coming to the Gu Clan?"

"Yeah, what are those Ling Clan guys thinking? Is the Ling Realm truly sealed off, or just pretending?"

"What's even stranger is how the Ling Clan ended up associating with the people of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace?"

"Could it be that the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace is actually a force established by the Ling Clan?"

"You're dreaming! With the Ling Clan's current size, Palace Master Lin Xiao could easily crush them all by himself!"

"The Ling Clan's patriarch, I remember he's only at the level of Six-Star Dou Sheng, right? Are you sure the current Ling Clan can challenge the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace?"

"Hmm, that's true. The bloodline of the Ling Clan's Dou Emperor Bloodline is the most severely depleted, and the clan has long been facing a shortage of capable successors."

"By the way, Shi Yun and Yan Longzi, your Stone Clan won't resort to the Ling Clan's methods, will you?"

"Our clan leader said that once we return from this trip to the Heavenly Tomb, we will completely seal off the Stone Realm and cease all contact with the outside world!"

"We don't know what the Ling Clan's situation is right now!"

The people of the Flame, Thunder, Medicine, and Stone clans were all discussing the Ling Clan at this moment.

However, while the four clans were discussing, the three members of the Hun Clan turned ashen-faced upon seeing Ling Miao appear.

"Elder Hun Yin, shouldn't the Ling Clan have been wiped out by Lord Void? Why are there still Ling Clan members appearing in the Gu Clan now?"

Hun Ya lowered his voice and asked the Elder of the Hun Clan who was leading the group, who seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black mist.

Because the Hun Clan members were all sinister and eerie, even though the members of the various Great Emperor clans had arrived near the Heavenly Tomb, the other Emperor Clans still maintained a certain distance from the Hun Clan members.

The Hun Clan didn't care about this.

Fortunately, there was no one else around them now, so the three of them could have a proper discussion about the Ling Clan!

"... As far as I know, when Lord Void was annihilating the Ling Clan, he had the Ling Clan use some kind of escape talisman to get rid of a few rats. Presumably, this woman must have been one of those rats."

Faced with Hun Ya's questioning, Hun Yin remained silent for a long time before finally choosing not to hide the truth.

"That's not the point. The point is, will that woman from the Ling Clan reveal that Lord Void destroyed the Ling Clan?"

Compared to whether Ling Miao lives or dies, Hun Li cares more about this matter!

Hun Yin & Hun Ya: "..."

As Hun Li finished speaking, Hun Yin and Hun Ya fell silent, their expressions turning even worse.

Because, in the eyes of the three, once Ling Miao did this, it would be very difficult for them to continue to destroy the Stone Clan, and then the Yao Clan.

"I think it's unlikely, right? After all, if that woman from the Ling Clan wanted to expose this, why would she wait until today? Besides, how many Emperor Clans have disappeared into the dust of history over the countless years? Hmph, what difference does one more Ling Clan make?"

So what if this gets exposed?

Does that Ling Clan woman really expect the other Emperor Clans to avenge her Ling Clan?

The other Emperor Clan must be regretting not getting a share of the spoils!

Isn't it only natural that weaker Emperor Clans have always been destroyed by stronger Emperor Clan?

I refuse to believe that the blood of those Emperor Clan that vanished from history has never been stained with the blood of other Emperor Clan!

As long as the Hun Clan's goal of destroying the Ling Clan remains unexposed, the other Emperor Clans will at most be wary of the Hun Clan, but they are unlikely to unite against the Hun Clan!

So, you don't need to worry!

It must be said that Hun Yin's analysis makes a lot of sense.

Even if the other Emperor Clans knew that it was the Hun Clan that destroyed the Ling Clan, they would at most take some precautions.

As long as their goal remains hidden— the Tou She Ancient God Jade —the other Emperor Clans will be unable to unite for the time being!

As for so-called precautions, do the Hun Clan even care?

If they cared, they wouldn't have gone to destroy the Ling Clan!

Thinking of this, Hun Yin, Hun Ya, and Hun Li felt a little more at ease.

Yes, this is why Ling Miao has never explicitly stated that the Ling Clan was destroyed by the Hun Clan all these years.

Because this only treats the symptoms, not the root cause!

Only by exposing that the Hun Clan's true purpose is the Tou She Ancient God Jade, and their ambition is to open the Ancient Emperor's Cave, will the other Emperor Clans have a chance to unite.

Otherwise, why would the various Emperor Clans, who pride themselves on the safety of their own Tou She Ancient God Jade, even consider forming an alliance?
