On their way back to the Soul Hun Clan, the Hun Tiandi and his entourage were on their way.

The Hun Tiandi remained silent, his expression unchanged.

However, the calmer the Hun Tiandi appeared, the more suppressed the hearts of the Hun Clan members became.

Because this often represents the calm before the storm...

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the Hun Tiandi spoke.

"Nihility, tell us everything that happened in the Stone Clan, down to the smallest detail, especially what happened to Lin Xiao! We seem to have underestimated him all along..."

The Hun Tiandi's voice was as still as a deep well, devoid of any emotion.

Previously, if any member of the Hun Clan failed a mission, the Nihility Devouring Flame would punish them.

But this time, his mission also failed.

That's really awkward!

Therefore, Nihility Devouring Flame, who could usually speak to Hun Tiandi on an equal footing, now unconsciously felt that his status was inferior to Hun Tiandi's.

"That Lin Xiao... we really underestimated him. We never expected him to have the strength to injure me so badly!"

Faced with the Hun Tiandi's question, Nihility Devouring Flame, despite his weakened state from severe injuries, spoke with a mixture of emotion and gritted teeth.

To be honest, Nihility Devouring Flame would never have imagined that his mission to annihilate the Stone Clan, which he thought would be a piece of cake, would end up in such a sorry state!

Ultimately, the cause of all this was that man— Lin Xiao!

Someone who was previously beneath the notice of the Hun Tiandi and the Nihility Devouring Flame first revealed his strength High-Star Dou Sheng before the Gu Clan's Coming-of-Age Ceremony began, and then thwarted the Stone Clan's plans.

And, he stopped them all by himself!

If, under these circumstances, the Hun Tiandi and the Nihility Devouring Flame continue to ignore Xiao Lin, then they must be out of their minds.

Immediately, Nihility Devouring Flame also began to report to Hun Tiandi in detail everything that had happened in the Stone Realm earlier.

The more Hun Tiandi listened, the more solemn his expression became!

"... That's pretty much how things are going."

Finally, Nihility Devouring Flame finished speaking, and Hun Tiandi fell silent once again.

Seeing this, the Nihility Devouring Flame made no attempt to disturb the Hun Tiandi.

In fact, he himself needs to process this matter properly.

After a while, the Hun Tiandi finally murmured, "The cultivation of Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng, the Emperor Realm Soul expert, and the Formation techniques that can threaten Nine-Star Dou Saint..."

This Lin Xiao has indeed grown to a point where even our Hun Clan can no longer ignore him!

Emperor Hun Tian's tone was filled with disbelief and emotion.

Based on the description of Nihility Devouring Flame, Hun Tiandi could already imagine that Xiao Lin possessed strength comparable to the Early-Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng.

Even if someone with such strength were to personally intervene, they might not be able to stop their opponent from escaping.

What is the Hun Clan's greatest advantage over the other Emperor Clans?

Besides the Hun Tiandi, there is also a powerhouse with a gap in power: the Nihility Devouring Flame.

The power of Nihility Devouring Flame is enough to suppress Yan Jin and Lei Ying at the same time!

However, if Lin Xiao and his Myriad Formation Spirit Palace were also opposing the Soul Hun Clan when the Hun Clan clashed with the other Emperor Clans, then the Hun Clan would have no advantage whatsoever.

He and Gu Yuan swapped places, Lin Xiao and Nihility Devouring Flame swapped places, and Lei Ying and Yan Jin together could easily defeat the four Hun Clan Living Dead Elders who couldn't maintain their state for long!

In this situation, there's no need to consider the unexpected factor of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan; the Hun Clan is already doomed to lose!

Therefore, it's safe to say that the Hun Tiandi is not in a good mood right now.

"Clan Chief, Lord Void, how should our Hun Clan deal with Lin Xiao and his Myriad Formation Spirit Palace?"

At this time, the only people who could speak to the Hun Tiandi, besides Nihility Devouring Flame, were Hun Yuantian, the living dead Eight-Star Dou Sheng.

This time, he went to the Stone Clan but only made a brief appearance, and he was quite frustrated.

But he dared not complain.

Because this was arranged by the Nihility Devouring Flame!

"Heh? How should we deal with them? Those who pose a threat to my Hun Clan must naturally be eliminated!"

The Hun Tiandi spoke with the utmost elegance, yet with the most resolute words.

If there's a threat, eliminate it!

This is the Hun Tiandi!

When you're with him, don't be fooled by his appearance.

Who would have thought that someone who looks so refined, like a schoolteacher, would be the fearsome patriarch of the Hun Clan?

Nihility Devouring Flame: "... Even if I recover to my full strength, I might not be able to defeat Lin Xiao. He possesses a Spiritual Formation that can counter me, and as for whether he has any other powerful Spiritual Formation, I cannot be certain."

Nihility Devouring Flame thought that Hun Tiandi intended to let him recover from his injuries and continue to deal with Xiao Lin, so he spoke up to explain.

As for the other members of the Hun Clan?

Just kidding, going there would only mean serving food to Lin Xiao!

"Nihility, it's not you. I'll handle Lin Xiao's matter! He should be seriously injured by now, right? Then, let the Soul Hall continue to target the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace regardless of the cost."

In any case, apart from Lin Xiao, no one else in the entire Myriad Formation Spirit Palace is a threat.

Lin Xiao is currently seriously injured, so I will find an opportunity to go there in person.

The Hun Tiandi spoke calmly.

If there was any earlier debate within the Hun Clan about whether to continue targeting the Yao Clan or deal with the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace after the destruction of the Stone Clan, that debate is no longer valid.

Because the Hun Tiandi was already prepared to deal with the unexpected situation involving Xiao Lin!

"Taking advantage of Lin Xiao's serious injury? That's indeed a good choice."

Upon hearing the Hun Tiandi's arrangements, Nihility Devouring Flame nodded. He had to admit that this might be the best opportunity for their Hun Clan to deal with Lin Xiao!

Nihility Devouring Flame had a premonition that if he couldn't defeat Lin Xiao this time, the opponent might surpass him next time!

The Hun Clan's grand plan for a thousand years will likely have to be postponed again.

This is something that neither the Hun Tiandi nor the Nihility Devouring Flame wanted to see.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Hun Tiandi, the best option is to kill Lin Xiao!

"Nihility, you should recover from your injuries first and stabilize your cultivation at the Nine-Star Dou Saint!"

The Hun Tiandi then continued.

"I understand, but I need a lot of energy to speed up the recovery from my injuries and stabilize my Nine-Star Dou Saint realm."

As a spirit of Heavenly Flames, Nihility Devouring Flame can recover to its peak as long as it has enough energy to devour!

This is also one of its unique characteristics.

"You can swallow this first. As a member of my Hun Clan, you must pay the price for failing the mission!"

The Hun Tiandi said in a detached tone.

Nihility Devouring Flame remained silent in response.

The meaning behind the Hun Tiandi's words was quite clear: the mission to annihilate the Stone Clan had failed, and they hadn't even managed to seize the Tou She Ancient God Jade. Someone had to take the blame for this, right?

Since Nihility Devouring Flame was severely injured and his cultivation level was unstable, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to put him to good use?

Although Nihility Devouring Flame was somewhat reluctant to do so, he ultimately did not object.

"Whoa~"

Black flames once again surged forth from the Nihility Devouring Flame.

This time, the target of these black flames is all the Hun Clan members who have gone to the Stone Clan to carry out the mission, except for Hun Yuantian!

"Chief, spare my life!"

"Lord Void, please spare me!"

"Ahhh, I'm sacrificing myself for the great Lord Void!"

"Oh well, that's fine then."

"For the great cause of my Hun Clan, all our sacrifices are worthwhile!"

There are those who don't want to die, and there are also those who are so fanatical that they are unafraid to sacrifice themselves.

In the end, all of these Hun Clan members were completely devoured by the Nihility Devouring Flame!

Seeing this, Hun Yuantian trembled with fear.

He wasn't afraid of death; after all, he had already died once.

But he didn't want to die so mysteriously!

Fortunately, Hun Yuantian still holds a certain position within the Hun Clan and has not yet become one of the sacrifices.

After devouring these Hun Clan members, Nihility Devouring Flame's injuries were instantly healed by more than half.

But it will still take some time and more energy for him to fully recover.

"Nihility, the remaining energy you need, I will prepare for you when we return to our clan."

Despite so many of his clansmen being devoured by the Nihility Devouring Flame, the Hun Tiandi remained unfazed.

"Um."

Nihility Devouring Flame nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, when the Hun Clan left the Stone Realm, they departed in a group.

But when they returned to the Soul Realm of the Hun Clan, only Hun Tiandi, Nihility Devouring Flame, and Hun Yuantian remained!

Immediately afterward, Nihility Devouring Flame went into seclusion to recover from his injuries and stabilize his realm, while Hun Tiandi issued one order after another to the Soul Hall.

Meanwhile, Hun Miesheng, as the Soul Hall Master, immediately sprang into action after receiving orders from his clan leader.

Meanwhile, a conspiracy surrounding the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace and Xiao Lin is about to quietly unfold!
