Their Respective Moves

Xiao Lin couldn't have predicted how much his strength would reach before the Ancient Emperor's Cave opened.

Therefore, he planned to break through to the Dou Emperor and then join forces with Xiao Yan to kill the Hun Tiandi.

But now, is it still necessary?

The Hun Clan is indeed very strong.

According to the Original Work, if Zhukun had not left the Ancient Emperor's Cave, the Hun Clan would have been able to single-handedly take on the combined forces of the rest of the Dou Qi Continent!

But things are different now!

With Zhukun being released by Xiao Lin ahead of schedule, coupled with the rise of Xiao Lin and the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, and the fact that the Yao Clan and the Stone Clan were not completely wiped out under his influence, the situation changed.

With such a combination, what can the Hun Clan use to defend against it?

Putting aside everything else, even if Xiao Lin, Gu Yuan, and Zhukun, three powerful experts at the Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint realm and with the Emperor Realm Soul, joined forces, the Hun Tiandi might not be able to stop them even if he activated the Hun Clan's protective formation!

Naturally, some of Xiao Lin's ideas also changed accordingly.

After all, if they could kill the Hun Tiandi before he became Dou Emperor, then the world would truly be at peace.

Subsequently, he didn't even need to rely on the power of the Bodhi Ancient Tree to break through to the Dou Emperor Realm!

Therefore, Xiao Lin does not intend to follow Bodhi directly to find his Main Body for the time being.

He wanted to try and see if he could kill the Hun Tiandi during the battle in the Ancient Emperor's Cave!

If this idea fails, it's not too late to Dou Emperor against the opponent.

Therefore, Xiao Lin now has two choices, and they don't conflict with each other.

After thinking about all this, Xiao Lin shook his head at Bodhi's questioning gaze and said, "Let's hold off for now. I've just broken through to the Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint realm. Even with your Main Body, I don't know how long it will take to break through to Dou Emperor."

During this time, I might miss something that I will regret for the rest of my life.

"I'll finish what I need to do now, and then I'll look for your Main Body when I have some free time."

When Xiao Lin said he had "free time," he was actually referring to the time after he failed to kill Hun Tiandi in the Ancient Emperor's Cave.

In short, with his breakthrough to the Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint, he is now basically invincible.

What Xiao Lin is thinking now is simply to resolve the problems caused by the Hun Clan in one go with minimal cost.

"I see."

Since Xiao Lin had explained it so clearly, Bodhi naturally nodded in agreement.

However, Bodhi simply thought that Xiao Lin was worried about his relatives and friends facing the Hun Clan, and didn't think too much about it.

"Alright, now that I've broken through, it's time to set off. Bodhi, I entrust the safety of the sect to you until we return."

At this moment, Xiao Lin, just like Ji Li had done earlier, gave Bodhi his instructions.

"As long as I'm here, the sect will be safe..."

Ji Li words, expressing his determination, clearly demonstrated his resolve.

Hearing Ji Li say that, Xiao Lin smiled.

Without further hesitation, Xiao Lin left the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.

"The Emperor Clan Alliance Gathering... Now that my thinking has changed, it's time to make some arrangements in advance..."

After leaving the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, an idea silently arose in Xiao Lin's mind.

Once you have an idea, the next step is to take action.

Therefore, after leaving the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, Xiao Lin did not go directly to the Gu Clan, but instead went to Ancient Dragon Island!

That's right, Xiao Lin already planned to kill Hun Tiandi in the Ancient Emperor's Cave, so he had to bring Zhukun along.

Coincidentally, of the top powers among those invited to the Emperor Clan Alliance Gathering by the Gu Clans, only the Ancient Void Dragon Clan did not attend.

It is said that the reason is that the new Dragon Emperor Zi Yan is also in the process of a new breakthrough, while the old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun is lazy, doesn't want to move, and also wants to watch over his daughter, so he refused the Gu Clan's invitation this time.

To be honest, all the Great Emperor clans were quite disappointed that they had failed to recruit the Ancient Void Dragon Clan to join them.

After all, if they could bring in the Ancient Void Dragon Clan of the Void, with Zhukun's strength, Gu Yuan and he could easily overwhelm the entire Hun Clan!

Unfortunately, there's no "what if."

However, no one was too surprised by the actions of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.

The Ancient Void Dragon Clan is actually quite a laid-back clan.

Their people may enjoy internal strife or exploring the Void, but they don't really have much interest in external warfare.

Before being trapped in the Ancient Emperor's Cave, Zhukun may have had lofty ambitions, but now, he's just an old man who wants to be with his daughter all the time.

However, if Xiao Lin were to speak, the outcome would be entirely different.

At this moment, before heading to the Gu Clan, Xiao Lin arrived at Ancient Dragon Island to discuss his plan with Zhukun...

Just as Xiao Lin was plotting how to kill the Hun Tiandi in the Ancient Emperor's Cave, the latter was also about to begin his own plan!

The Hun Clan, within the Soul Realm.

The Hun Tiandi stood atop the highest peak, gazing at the sky with an enigmatic expression.

For some reason, even though the grand plan was about to succeed, a sense of unease arose within him...

However, this feeling of unease only flashed through the Hun Tiandi's mind for a moment before passing away.

"Buzz~"

Just as the Hun Tiandi was pondering something, the space around him suddenly distorted.

Immediately afterwards, the figure of Nihility Devouring Flame emerged from it.

"You've recovered?"

The Hun Tiandi asked without even turning his head.

"Ah, after consuming some blood and Ninth-grade Pill, I've recovered."

Nihility Devouring Flame nodded in reply.

However, it was clear that there was an obvious hint of frustration in Nihility Devouring Flame's tone.

"You've been injured quite a few times lately; this is the third time in a row, isn't it?"

The Hun Tiandi slowly turned around and looked at the Nihility Devouring Flame, whose face was somewhat stiff.

The Nihility Devouring Flame was speechless in response.

As a powerful expert at the Early-Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng, he seems to have been getting injured quite frequently lately!

First, he fought Lin Xiao to a standstill in the Stone Realm, then outside the Demonic Flame Space, he was severely injured by three punches from an opponent whose strength had increased dramatically. Finally, he was injured by the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul who suddenly went berserk in the Medicine Realm.

Although he seems to be playing in high-level matches, the injuries he sustained are indeed real!

If it weren't for his special circumstances, the Hun Clan's strong foundation, and the abundance of blood and food, he wouldn't have been able to recover so quickly from three serious injuries.

"Lin Xiao's strength has already surpassed yours by quite a bit. Find some time to break through to the Emperor Realm Soul as soon as possible, otherwise, our Hun Clan will not gain any advantage in the final battle."

At that time, our Hun Clan's grand plan for a thousand years will fail because of this!

After glancing at the silent Nihility Devouring Flame, the Hun Tiandi frowned and spoke again.

As the second-in-command of the Hun Clan and a key figure in the Millennium Plan, Nihility Devouring Flame's strength appears somewhat weak at this moment.

No wonder the Hun Tiandi would actively urge the other party to break through to the Emperor Realm Soul.
