The Spirit Race's Escape Route

"I'd like to know why you have this worry," Xiao Han asked, staring intently at Ling Yuexian.

"Or rather, what exactly led you to suspect that other Ancient Races were planning to attack your Spirit Clan?"

Although Xiao Han was asking a question, he couldn't help but be startled. Ling Yuexian was indeed quite capable, managing to discover so many years in advance that someone was planning to attack the Spirit Clan.

After the Spirit Clan's annihilation, everyone thought it had happened without warning. Xiao Han also believed that the Spirit Clan had simply walked down a path of destruction without realizing it.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly hopeless Spirit Race Clan Leader was able to sense the hidden danger and had the audacity to bring in a powerful outsider.

We're not worried about being taken advantage of!

Furthermore, the hardest part is not discovering clues, but believing the fact.

And Ling Yuexian is obviously a clear-headed clan leader who never takes chances. This is probably very difficult for Xiao Han to do.

If he hadn't known that in the Original work the Soul Clan would first destroy the Spirit Clan ten years later, he probably wouldn't have believed such an outcome.

Ancient Races, wiped out just like that!

"Other Ancient Races?" Ling Yi and Ling Yu exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

"Pavilion Master Su is indeed shrewd, but please forgive me for not being able to disclose this information," Ling Yuexian said apologetically.

"Please do as you please," Xiao Han said nonchalantly. He was determined not to show his face to the Soul Clan before the later stages of the war.

The Five-Star Dou Sheng level strength he has shown so far is already powerful enough. After all, a rogue cultivator like him at least has Old Man Shen Nong, and the Pill Tower has an even stronger ancestor.

However, if his strength were a little stronger, the Soul Clan probably wouldn't even need to lift a finger; other Ancient Races could keep a close watch on him.

After all, his personality was unlike that of the other two powerful figures from Central Plains, who were detached from worldly affairs. The identity and personality of the Ice Saint destined him to become a destabilizing factor outside the Ancient Races.

Xiao Han's principle is to play it safe and wait until the Soul Clan is universally opposed before striking out to deliver the final blow.

Eight Star Dou Sheng? No, no, no, I'm just an ordinary five-star!

"Then, as Pavilion Master Su said, I hope you can keep your promise and preserve the bloodline of my Spirit Clan. I beg you!" As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Yuexian bowed deeply to Xiao Han.

"Why don't you seek help from other Ancient Races?" Xiao Han asked.

"Seeking help?" Ling Yuexian said with a self-deprecating laugh, "What do you mean? Are you suggesting that some Ancient Races is plotting to annihilate the Spirit Clan, and then requesting an alliance for protection?"

"Or perhaps we should ask other Ancient Races to help look after the Spirit Clan's bloodline?"

The relationships between Ancient Races were not always harmonious. If news of the Spirit Clan spread, no one would believe it; instead, it would hasten the Spirit Clan's demise.

Ling Yuexian doesn't have the magnanimity to sacrifice herself to remind others.

As for requesting other Ancient Races to help protect the few remaining members of the Spirit Clan...

Hehe~

The Xiao Clan of that time serves as a cautionary tale!

The patriarchs of the Gu-Xiao Clans had a very good personal relationship. Moreover, after the Xiao Clan was destroyed, the Gu Clan was the Ancient Races that benefited the most from the Xiao Clan's legacy. Their speed in seizing the benefits caught other Ancient Races off guard.

The Soul Clan, the culprit that led to the Xiao Clan's demise, only managed to steal a few scraps in the end.

The Gu Clan took care of the Xiao Clan, and while they were taking care of them, they disappeared.

Now, even in Central Plains, there is no news of the Xiao Clan.

Although the Spirit Clan bloodline has begun to decline, it is still highly sought after by many Ancient Races. For them, having more Dou Di Bloodline is not a bad thing.

If they were to seek their protection, it would likely turn the descendants of the Spirit Clan into mere breeding machines and bones for each other to fight over.

On the contrary, a genius like the Ice Saint, who can suppress an era, will only believe in himself, rather than the so-called Dou Di Bloodline.

They would certainly not covet the increasingly scarce bloodline of the Spirit Clan.

With sufficient strength and reliable character, Langya Pavilion may be the only force qualified to protect the remnants of the Spirit Clan.

But...

"Could it be that the Ice Saint isn't worried about the news of the Spirit Clan's descendants leaking out and causing unnecessary trouble?"

Xiao Han smiled enigmatically, "Is the Spirit Clan worried that I won't be able to handle the subsequent troubles and will throw the Spirit Clan's descendants out into the fray?"

Ling Yuexian did not look away, but simply stared directly into Xiao Han's eyes.

This concerns the continuation of the Spirit Clan, Ling Yuexian must confirm all the details to ensure that the last spark of the Spirit Clan will not be extinguished.

Eradicating the threat completely is a universal principle on the continent. For thousands of years, even though the Xiao Clan has been extinct in Central Plains, the Soul Clan has never given up its pursuit of the Xiao Clan.

If that race were to learn that the Spirit Clan members were in the Langya Pavilion, they wouldn't need to launch a full-scale attack. With just a little manipulation, they could draw pressure from all the Ancient Races.

Faced with that kind of pressure, Ling Yuexian didn't have much confidence in Xiao Han.

"Has the Spirit Clan overlooked a problem?" Just as the atmosphere between the two sides was becoming increasingly tense, Xiao Han suddenly asked with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you really think they'll let outsiders know who the real culprit was who wiped out the Spirit Clan?"

"Thank you for your clarification, Pavilion Master Su. The cooperation between the Spirit Clan and the Langya Pavilion will be negotiated between Ling Yi and your esteemed pavilion. To show our sincerity, our Spirit Clan Gathering several talented juniors to study under the Langya Pavilion."

After a long while, Ling Yuexian suddenly stood up and said.

Xiao Han's words completely woke her up. When you don't even know who your enemy is, how can you even talk about revenge?

If that's the case, what's wrong with letting the remaining remnants of the Spirit Clan, who haven't yet grown up, return to the wild?

It should be noted that there are also rumors on the mainland that some highly skilled and daring individuals raise the children of their enemies. As long as the truth is not revealed, everything will remain hidden beneath the surface.

There's no need for the other party to risk exposure by forcibly eliminating the problem at its root.

Under these circumstances, the Spirit Clan only needs to send the selected, but not the most outstanding, descendants to the Langya Pavilion.

At that time, even if the Spirit Clan were truly destroyed, they could legitimately and openly protect them. All troubles would be easily resolved.

"Pavilion Master Su, may I ask if Langya Pavilion can take in this girl, Ling Yi?" Ling Yi Ling Yuexian said through gritted teeth after glancing at Lingyi's sorrowful expression.

"Impossible!" Xiao Han refused righteously.

"It is impossible for the Spirit Clan Dou Sheng to be allowed to live. I think you, Spirit Clan, are well aware of this."

The other party might not care about the lives of a few or even a dozen Dou Zun, but each of the Dou Sheng level experts would cause a lot of trouble.

Moreover, given that things have come to this point, it's estimated that all the Dou Sheng of the Spirit Clan are being closely watched. Ling Yi's abnormal departure will likely drag Langya Pavilion into the vortex as well.

Although he was willing to help the Spirit Clan, it didn't mean that Xiao Han was unafraid of death.

"Alright, I was being presumptuous." Ling Yuexian also understood that the Spirit Clan's Dou Sheng Expert could only die, not live.

Her previous irrational actions were simply because she didn't want such a talented junior like Ling Yi to perish.

Among the declining Spirit Clan, Ling Yi is the only genius who cultivated to the level of Three-Star Dou Sheng at the age of around two hundred.

However, now it has to perish along with the destruction of the Spirit Clan. Who can know the pain in its heart?
