Hidden Undercurrents

The reason why the Stone Clan did not join the alliance treaty between the Thunder, Flame, and Medicine Clans is actually quite simple if you think about it carefully.

That's the current strength of the Stone Clan. Compared to the Thunder, Flame, and Medicine Clans, they are far too weak!

In this situation, anyone with a brain can understand that if the Stone Clan also joins in, the one who will have to pay the highest price will definitely be the Stone Clan!

Even the current alliance between the Thunder, Flame, and Medicine clans is based on the Thunder and Flame clans providing the physical strength, while the Yao Clan provides the Medicinal Pill resources.

You know, if the Stone Clan also joined this alliance, they'd probably be skinned alive!

The Stone Clan is not very strong now, and its Medicinal Pill resources are almost exhausted.

What else can be given?

Does the Stone Clan really intend to offer up all their most Cultivation Method and Dou Technique to the other Emperor Clans?

This is clearly unrealistic!

Therefore, it was an extremely wise choice for the Stone Clan to consider forming an alliance with the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.

After all, the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace and the Lei Clan have a close relationship. If the Stone Clan allies with the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, isn't that equivalent to having a relationship with the Lei Clan as well?

It's important to understand that while the core strength of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace may not be as strong as that of the Thunder, Flame, and Medicine clans, it does possess Xiao Lin as a high-level powerhouse!

In the eyes of the Stone Clan, the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace had Lin Xiao, who could fight to a draw with the Early-Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng Nihility Devouring Flame, and that was their strongest support.

The Stone Clan, on the other hand, can provide intermediate support.

Combining these two elements, isn't that the perfect arrangement?

Therefore, the final result reached by the major Great Emperor clans in the Stone Realm of the Stone Clan was that the Thunder, Flame, and Medicine Clans would form an alliance, while the Stone Clan would form an alliance with the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace!

As for the last Gu Clan... well, Gu Yuan is still on the table.

Although Gu Yuan had realized that the Hun Clan was stronger than the Gu Clan, he was confident in his own existence and believed that he feared no one in the Hun Clan except for the Hun Tiandi. Therefore, he did not allow the Gu Clan to join one of the two major alliances.

In Gu Yuan's words, his Gu Clan could form an alliance on its own!

And you know what? With Gu Yuan's help, the ancient Gu Clan could indeed wipe out the Thunder, Flame, Medicine, and Stone clans plus the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace!

All I can say is that the Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint 'Emperor Soul is just that unreasonable.

In the current Dou Qi Continent, any one of Gu Yuan, Hun Tiandi, and Zhukun Kun could easily sweep through the Dou Qi Continent without the other two!

This is also why Gu Yuan, despite recognizing the power of the Hun Clan, still dared to prevent the Gu Clan from joining any of their alliances.

Thus, the power structure among the major Great Emperor clans was temporarily established.

Although they were unable to unite all the Emperor Clans directly, which disappointed Xiao Lin and Ling Miao.

But to have achieved this result today is already quite good.

Emperor Clan are generally quite arrogant, so getting them to form alliances is actually quite difficult.

This time, if Xiao Lin hadn't devised a plan that forced out some of the Hun Clan's hidden strength, making the major Great Emperor clans realize the threat posed by the Hun Clan, perhaps even the current situation wouldn't have been possible!

It's fair to say that achieving the current result is already quite good.

Of course, when the Stone Clan sent their two prodigies Shi Yun and Yan Longzi, to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, they also brought along a considerable number of Heaven Rank and Earth Rank Cultivation Method and Dou Technique.

Xiao Lin a favor for the Stone Clan, and now the Stone Clan had sent its most talented members to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace for protection. These Cultivation Method and Dou Technique were essentially a reward for Xiao Lin and the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.

Therefore, the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace would naturally not refuse!

Now, the foundation of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace has become even stronger!

Whether it's Medicinal Pill or Heaven Rank Cultivation Method and Dou Technique, we have no shortage of them.

Disciples within the sect will also have more choices regarding what Cultivation Method and Dou Technique they wish to practice in the future.

And so, all the Great Emperor clans made their choices, and the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace continued its steady development.

With Xiao Lin in seclusion, all affairs, large and small, within the sect were handled by Ji Li and a group of Leadership Elders.

On the surface, the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace appears to be thriving and peaceful.

But behind the scenes, an undercurrent targeting the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace has already begun to quietly emerge.

The once-a-decade Space Trading Assembly Fair is here again!

Given the current status of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace in Central Plains, it naturally received invitations from the Three Hidden Sects long ago.

However, nowadays, the Space Trading Assembly is no longer something that the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace needs to pay too much attention to.

Therefore, even if Xiao Lin went into seclusion, it was impossible for the two Dou Sheng Ji Li and Ling Miao, to attend in person.

Even the Three Great Elders, ranked among the top three in the sect, did not personally attend this Space Trading Assembly.

In the end, it was Wu Yunfeng, the Fourth Elder of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, who led a group of Dou Venerable geniuses from the sect to the venue of the Space Trading Assembly.

The items auctioned at the Space Trading Assembly are quite helpful to those at the Dou Zun Realm.

Therefore, people like Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin also went along.

Everything seemed quite peaceful.

However, not long after, the First Elder Zuo He, who was dealing with sect affairs, suddenly received a message.

"Buzz... buzz... First Elder, something bad has happened! After we participated in the Space Trading Assembly... buzz... buzz... we were ambushed! The opponent is Soul..."

Holding the Communication Stone in his hand, Zuo He listened to the last message sent back by the Fourth Elder, Wu Yunfeng, his face ashen.

"Boom"

The terrifying pressure of Nine-Transformation Dou Venerable emanated from Zuo He's body.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"

Almost as soon as Zuo He could no longer suppress the release of his aura, several figures instantly appeared beside him.

"First Elder, what happened?"

The first to arrive, Second Elder Weng Xing, hurriedly asked.

Immediately, the other Elders of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace who had also arrived all showed expressions of confusion.

"Old Wu and our sect's disciples were ambushed after attending the Space Trading Assembly!"

Although Zuo He had gradually calmed down, his expression was still very unpleasant.

After all, since the establishment of the sect, the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace has always been relatively aloof from worldly affairs.

Even after growing to its current size, it has never done anything to bully others by abusing its power.

The few forces that have conflicts with the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace are usually those that were provoked first.

Furthermore, since the establishment of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, they have never robbed anyone after participating in the Space Trading Assembly held every ten years. They always went there properly and returned properly.

This is the first time that people from the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace have been ambushed on their way back after attending the Space Trading Assembly!

You have to understand, with the current strength of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, very few forces would dare to ambush them!

Throughout the entire Central Plains, there are only a handful.

Of all these forces, the one with the most reason to attack their Myriad Formation Spirit Palace is that one!

Soul Hall!
