The Hun Clan Withdraws

"How boring. Gu Yuan, Lei Ying, Yan Jin, Yao Dan, are you four really that easily frightened?"

Although he was the first to be overwhelmed and suppressed in the clash of auras just now, the Hun Tiandi still appeared calm and composed at this moment.

After all, the only thing Lei Ying, Yan Jin, and Yao Dan could offer Gu Yuan was a bit of help in terms of sheer momentum.

If a fight really breaks out, the three of them will only be a hindrance to Gu Yuan!

This is similar to why Hun Yuantian dared not interfere in the earlier battle between Xiao Lin and Nihility Devouring Flame.

The same principle applies today.

If he really went all out, with one slap from Yao Dan, Lei Ying and Yan Jin could only withstand two slaps each at most.

This is the difference between the patriarchs of the Lei, Yan, and Yao Clans and the Hun Tiandi!

One of the three strongest experts in the Dou Qi Continent today? Are you kidding me?

That's a level of strength that's completely out of its league!

Perhaps the Hun Tiandi has the idea of destroying the other Emperor Clans after becoming Dou Emperor, but at least for now, he doesn't want to confront the alliance of all the Emperor Clans at once!

Opening the Ancient Emperor's Cave and becoming Dou Emperor is his only thought now.

Therefore, he could even ignore the little tricks that Nihility Devouring Flame played on the Hun Clan.

Because the Hun Tiandi also knew that if he were to break ties with the Nihility Devouring Flame now, his grand plan for the next millennium would be ruined.

Under these circumstances, the Hun Tiandi would certainly not engage in a life-or-death struggle with the other Emperor Clans right now.

"Hmph, Hun Tiandi, are you just trying to scare us by annihilating the Ling Clan and then going to annihilate the Stone Clan?"

With a cold snort, Gu Yuan didn't believe in the Hun Tiandi's evil deeds at all!

The matter of the Ling Clan's annihilation was already mentioned when Yan Sheng, Shi Yun, and Yan Longzi went to seek support from the Ancient, Thunder, Flame, and Medicine Clans.

It was precisely because they knew that the Ling Clan had been wiped out, and that the Stone Clan would soon be wiped out as well, that the patriarchs of the Ancient, Thunder, Flame, and Medicine Clans came in person.

Furthermore, the reason why the Hun Tiandi came to the Stone Clan was because the Hun Clan's spies discovered the unusual movements of the four clans. Therefore, the Hun Tiandi, who had anticipated something, arrived at the Stone Clan ahead of time.

After all, the Hun Clan was about to take action against the Stone Clan, so how could they not be keeping an eye on the movements of the other four clans beforehand?

The other four races were unaware of the Hun Clan's hidden power and were therefore completely oblivious to this surveillance.

To be honest, the Hun Clan is still quite powerful!

Throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent, perhaps only the Hun Clan is capable of accomplishing these things.

Furthermore, even the Gu Clans, or the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, do not possess this ability!

"So what if they're destroyed? Since ancient times, which Emperor Clan hasn't gone from prosperity to decline and then to annihilation? My Hun Clan is just helping the Ling Clan complete this path a little earlier!"

Faced with Gu Yuan's questioning, the Hun Tiandi's reply was neither reasonable nor forceful.

Strength is the source of Hun Tiandi's confidence.

He simply didn't want to go to war with the other Emperor Clans, but that didn't mean he was afraid of the Emperor Clan!

"Hun Tiandi, you..."

The Hun Tiandi's nonchalant attitude clearly angered Gu Yuan, Lei Ying, Yan Jin, and Yao Dan.

But you know what, they really don't seem to have any way to deal with the Hun Tiandi.

You should know that even among the Gu Clans, only Gu Yuan could catch the eye of the Hun Tiandi!

"This world is one where the strong rule! The weak can only wail! I will naturally feel no remorse, nor will I make any promises to you!"

There was a slight mishap this time; consider it good luck for the Stone Clan.

As he spoke, the Hun Tiandi glanced at Xiao Lin not far away once more.

Xiao Lin: "..."

Because of this, Xiao Lin almost activated the Dragon Seal in his nervousness.

The four people, including Gu Yuan, probably all knew who the "accident" the Hun Tiandi was referring to was.

Therefore, they also followed the Hun Tiandi's gaze and saw Xiao Lin, who appeared to be seriously injured.

Gu Yuan was alright, because he had met Xiao Lin before and already had a fairly accurate guess about Xiao Lin's strength.

Even so, he was still quite surprised that Xiao Lin could fight Nihility Devouring Flame, Nine-Star Dou Saint, to this extent.

As for Lei Ying, Yan Jin, and Yao Dan, their faces practically screamed with shock.

After all, although they couldn't see through Xiao Lin's exact strength, they could compare him to the Nihility Devouring Flame!

The aura Nihility Devouring Flame fluctuated wildly, dropping from the Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng to the Early-Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng. Could Lei Ying and Yan Jin not see this?

This clearly shows that Xiao Lin has pushed the Nihility Devouring Flame's cultivation level to the point of instability!

Although Yao Dan was somewhat weaker, one could guess his strength just by looking at Lei Ying and Yan Jin's expressions.

"That's... the Nihility Devouring Flame? The second-ranked Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. I never expected it to be in the Hun Clan. And judging from its appearance, it must have been cultivated to the level of Nine-Star Dou Saint before."

The Yan Clan has extensive knowledge of Heavenly Flames, so they were able to quickly identify the Nihility Devouring Flame's identity and condition.

"Palace Master Lin Xiao was able to withstand the Nihility Devouring Flame of Nine-Star Dou Saint like this; it seems his strength has surpassed mine! Hmm, this is truly a gratifying thing!"

Compared to Yan Jin's emotions, Lei Ying was mostly filled with joy.

It's important to know that the Lei Clan and the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace have always had a very close relationship!

Years ago, Xiao Lin even cultivated in the Thunder Realm of the Lei Clan.

Although Lei Ying did not appear in person at the time, she had already sent Dou Sheng Expert from her clan to entertain Xiao Lin. At that time, Xiao Lin had not yet become Dou Sheng, which shows how much the Lei Clan valued Xiao Lin.

Not to mention that the Lei Clan later sent its disciples to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace for training.

This clearly demonstrates the relationship between the Lei Clan and the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.

At this moment, Lei Ying felt that his Lei Clan had won a complete rout!

The Lei Clan's investment in Xiao Lin has now yielded a friendship comparable to that of Nine-Star Dou Saint powerhouse!

Even Lei Ying felt that this wouldn't be the end for Xiao Lin...

As for Yao Dan, he was the weakest among them, and they had nothing to do with Xiao Lin.

Therefore, all he could do was exclaim: Lin Xiao is truly amazing!

"Alright, that's enough for now. My Hun Clan will take our leave. However, if you wish to avenge the Stone Clan and the Ling Clan, who have already been wiped out, my Hun Clan welcomes you anytime."

As he spoke, the Hun Tiandi shrugged, appearing quite indifferent.

This scene once again caused the patriarchs of the Gu, Lei, Yan, and Yao clans to frown.

However, asking them to stand up for the Ling Clan and the Stone Clan and confront the Hun Clan, whose strength is currently unknown, is nothing short of wishful thinking.

At most, they could only step in to stop the Hun Clan from annihilating the Stone Clan; as for avenging the Stone Clan and the Ling Clan, that was absolutely impossible!

This is also why, after the Ling Clan was destroyed, Ling Miao had the opportunity but never thought of informing the other Emperor Clans.

Because Ling Miao herself knew that the other Emperor Clans would not stand up for the Ling Clan unless she herself was threatened!

After speaking, the Hun Tiandi ignored Gu Yuan, Lei Ying, Yan Jin, and Yao Dan, and looked at Xiao Lin once again.

"Lin Xiao, I'll remember you!"

There was no threat; it was just a very calm and Ordinary sentence, but Xiao Lin gleaned a great deal of meaning from it.

"It's my pleasure!"

Xiao Lin then replied to the Hun Tiandi with a smile.

"Buzz~"

Following that, the Hun Tiandi stared intently at Xiao Lin for one last time before finally leading the Nihility Devouring Flame and the Hun Clan out of the Stone Realm.

Only after the Hun Clan left did the sky over the Stone Realm return to its normal color from its earlier brownish-black hue, and the Stone Clan members who had miraculously survived finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the survivors all hugged each other and wept bitterly.

The cries contained countless emotions of the Stone Clan!
