Alliance!

Within the Stone Realm of the Stone Clan, after the Hun Tiandi left with the Nihility Devouring Flame and the people of the Hun Clan, Shi Xiao, the Stone Clan patriarch who had miraculously survived, told the patriarchs of the four clans—Ancient Thunder Flame Medicine—about everything that had happened in the Stone Realm.

After hearing Shi Xiao's description, the patriarchs of the four clans could only express their condolences and add that they would come to help the Stone Clan again if they were in trouble next time.

That's all.

Shi Xiao had clearly anticipated this.

Rather, it would be more accurate to say that the various Great Emperor clans were never natural friends, but rather natural enemies!

After all, in history, once an Emperor Clan weakened, Emperor Clan was often eventually destroyed by other Emperor Clans.

Why do the Ling Shi and Shi clans have the idea of sealing off their own clans?

They're not just guarding against the Hun Clan, but against all the Emperor Clans!

Because the resources possessed by an Emperor Clan are simply too abundant.

Now that this Emperor Clan is no longer able to protect its resources, how could the other Emperor Clans not be tempted?

It's easy to imagine the immense benefits that swallowing the resources of an Emperor Clan could bring to one's own Emperor Clan.

Therefore, the fact that the Ancient, Thunder, Flame, and Medicine clans did not take advantage of the Stone Clan's misfortune at this time was already a great act of mercy.

Do you really want them to provide resources to help the Stone Clan?

Dream on!

Now, the only thing the four races can do is to stand up for the Stone Race when the Hun Clan wants to attack the Stone Clan, and incidentally prevent the Stone Clan from being destroyed.

One can only say that the current leaders of the Ancient, Thunder, Flame, and Medicine clans are at least somewhat conscientious.

But that's about it.

And what about the Stone Clan today?

The population has been lost by more than 70%, almost 80%!

Furthermore, the entire Stone Realm has now been ravaged and destroyed, making it impossible to tell that it was once a beautiful and fertile land suitable for cultivation!

Fortunately, the Stone Clan did not achieve the same Original Work as in the original story, where the entire clan could play a match-3 game!

Yes, it's all thanks to Xiao Lin.

However, after Shi Xiao told the patriarchs of the Gu, Lei, Yan, and Yao clans about the Hun Clan, the expressions of the four patriarchs were now extremely grim.

As for the matter of the Nihility Devouring Flame, the patriarchs of the four clans had already witnessed it firsthand. Apart from Gu Yuan, who already knew, the patriarchs of the other three clans had now accepted that the Nihility Devouring Flame was in the Hun Clan and possessed the realm of Early-Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng.

However, there was another matter that none of the four clan leaders, including Gu Yuan, could accept!

"Brother Shi Xiao, you just mentioned the Hun Clan's Hun Yuantian. Is that the Hun Yuantian we understand?"

Gu Yuan asked in a deep voice.

As Gu Yuan finished speaking, his gaze became fixed intently on Shi Xiao's face.

At the same time, although Lei Ying, Yan Jin, and Yao Dan did not speak, it was not difficult to tell from the way they looked at Shi Xiao that they also had the same question in their hearts.

They're all ancient relics from a thousand years ago; how could they not know each other?

"Brother Gu Yuan, do we possibly know a second Hun Yuantian of the Hun Clan? Although at first I was just like you, finding it unbelievable that someone who had been dead for a thousand years had suddenly come back to life, it is indeed the truth!"

According to Hun Yuantian, he was resurrected by the Nihility Devouring Flame using a secret technique.

The aura emanating from him was the same as it had been during his prime—a deathly aura.

This must be the price of resurrection.

After giving a wry smile, Shi Xiao explained.

If he could, he would rather have mistaken someone for someone else!

However, since Hun Yuantian had already admitted it himself, how could he possibly have mistaken the person for someone else?

To be honest, Shi Xiao would rather this be a new Hun Yuantian, so that he wouldn't have to feel apprehensive about the outcome he had envisioned.

"If what Brother Shi Xiao said is true, then since even Hun Yuantian was resurrected by the Nihility Devouring Flame using a secret technique, what about Hun Shengtian, Hun Yao, and Hun Jue?"

"It makes no sense that among these powerful Hun Clan who also died a thousand years ago, Nihility Devouring Flame only resurrected Hun Yuantian, right?"

Yan Jin's words expressed the sentiments of several people present.

After all, if Shi Xiao could guess this, the others certainly could too!

"If the powerful Hun Clan who died a thousand years ago have all been resurrected by the Nihility Devouring Flame, and even more so if those powerful members of the Hun Clan who died unexpectedly afterward have also been resurrected, then the strength of the Hun Clan... ugh~, I can hardly imagine it anymore!"

Thinking of this, even Lei Ying, who was at the Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

"Brother Lei Ying, I think you can drop the word 'if' now. Have you forgotten? Those Hun Clan Dou Sheng Experts who attacked the Stone Clan earlier were all unfamiliar faces!"

In other words, these are all hidden forces of the Hun Clan, and among them are many powerful Hun Clan members exuding an aura of death...

Then, remembering something, Yao Dan quickly added.

At this point, the patriarchs of the major Great Emperor clans all fell silent.

It could be said that this was the first time they had ever realized that the power of the Hun Clan was so terrifying!

Even Gu Yuan, who had previously been least likely to underestimate the Hun Clan, now realized that he had seriously underestimated Hun Clan!

Are the Hun Clan's Hun Tiandi and the Nihility Devouring Flame followed by the Four Demon Saints?

No, no, no, this understanding was shattered the moment Hun Yuantian appeared.

The Hun Clan has Eight-Star Dou Sheng, and there are definitely more than just one or two!

"Let's form an alliance... not just any Ordinary alliance, but a defensive alliance! As you all have seen, the strength of the Hun Clan may far exceed all of our imagination!"

The Ling Clan has already been wiped out, and even the Stone Clan almost perished. I don't believe the Hun Clan will stop there.

You should be able to see this from the Hun Tiandi's earlier attitude, right?

Therefore, my idea is that if any one of us is attacked by the Hun Clan, the other allies must do everything in their power to help.

At the same time, we need to exchange information with each other every now and then to prevent one side from being silently wiped out by the Hun Clan.

What do you think?

The idea of forming an alliance was proposed by Lei Ying of the Lei Clan.

As Lei Ying finished speaking, the patriarchs of the other clans all fell into deep thought.

They were clearly also considering the pros and cons of this matter.

"Cough cough~"

Just as the patriarchs of the major Great Emperor clans were discussing the alliance, a weak cough suddenly rang out.

Then, everyone turned their attention to the direction from which the coughing sound came.

The one who coughed was none other than Xiao Lin, who, like Nihility Devouring Flame, was also seriously injured.

"Um, gentlemen, excuse me for interrupting. I don't object to your discussion about an alliance, but I must take my leave now! Given my current state, you should understand, right?"

I need to go back to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace to recover from my injuries. If anything comes up later, you can discuss it with Elder Ling Miao.

She is not only a member of the Ling Clan, but also a part of my Myriad Formation Spirit Palace. She can now fully represent my Myriad Formation Spirit Palace...

Xiao Lin sounded somewhat weak when he spoke.

There's no way around it, his injury is really quite serious!

After all, even now, the left side of his body is still in a carbonized state!

If he hadn't needed to secretly take the Tou She Ancient God Jade, which originally belonged to the Stone Clan, from Ling Miao, Xiao Lin probably would have already returned to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace to recuperate after the Hun Clan left!
