Hun Yu, Sentenced to Death
A dozen minutes later, Xian'er stared intently at the withered old man standing with his hands at his sides, blocking Hun Yu's path, and coldly said:
"As expected, has the Soul Clan sent others to their deaths again?"
"Hehehe~" The old man chuckled sinisterly, revealing his few remaining yellow teeth. "Xian'er does indeed have a very similar temperament to your teacher!"
"They're all equally irritable!"
Xian'er's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said coldly, "You are not qualified to comment on my teacher."
The old man smiled casually, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
He then said, "Ku Mu, one of the Three Heavenly Venerates of the Soul Hall. I wonder if the little girl has heard of me?"
A mocking smile appeared on Xian'er's lips. "The Three Heavenly Venerates?"
"Aren't all Nine Great Heavenly Venerates of the Soul Hall dead? Where did these Three Heavenly Venerates come from!"
"That little girl is quite the sharp-tongued one!" Hearing Xian'er's sarcasm, Ku Mu wasn't angry; instead, he chuckled and said:
"Our Soul Hall will never lose!"
"Even your Langya Pavilion is the same."
Ku Mu glanced around and saw that more and more teams were arriving at the Ancient Domain Stage, many of whom were in serious trouble. His heart sank.
His voice was hoarse as he said, "Do you all still intend to continue the fight? Do you really want to fight my Soul Clan to the point of mutual destruction?"
Xian'er looked towards the battle between the Soul Clan and Langya Pavilion, her delicate eyebrows furrowing almost imperceptibly. The advantage that Langya Pavilion had established was not significant, and if things continued, it would be easy for others to gain an advantage.
He immediately shouted, "Stop!"
Upon hearing this, the members of the Langya Pavilion forced their opponents to retreat and withdrew from the battlefield, their eyes coldly fixed on the Soul Clan Member forces.
The Soul Clan had received prior orders and did not obstruct the battle. After the battle ceased, they immediately moved forward, surrounded the Hun Yu, and protected it in the center.
"Walk."
Noticing that Langya Pavilion had suffered no casualties, Xian'er's brows relaxed, and she immediately took the lead and walked towards the high platform in the center of the Ancient Domain Stage, with the others following behind.
The Soul Clan side.
"Young Master, we have lost four Elder this time, and some of our guards have also suffered losses," one of them reported to the Hun Yu, his tone serious.
"Four?!" Hun Yu asked coldly, "What happened? How could four people die in such a short time?"
Four Elder were killed in just over ten minutes of fighting, a speed that refreshed Hun Yu's understanding of the game.
These four Elders were no ordinary people; they were all Dou Zun expert. They hadn't even seen the Bodhi Ancient Tree before losing such a powerful force. Even if he possessed God Grade Bloodline and was a candidate for clan leader, he would still face attacks because of this.
After all, he wasn't the only one with God Grade Bloodline in the Soul Clan.
Moreover, this mission was one he actively sought to increase his influence within the Soul Clan, hoping to use it as an opportunity to confront that powerful figure in the clan.
If the mission fails, my fate will definitely not be good.
The person who came to report spoke with a slightly trembling voice, "Young Master, we..."
"Perhaps we underestimated their strength and were careless for a moment..."
"That's why..."
Before his subordinate could finish speaking, Hun Yu waved his hand impatiently, "The important thing is to fight for the Bodhi Ancient Tree. Let's put this matter aside for now."
The losses that have already occurred are unavoidable. Hun Yu knows that as long as he can gain enough benefits under the Bodhi Ancient Tree, or even obtain the legendary Bodhi Heart, no one will care about any cost.
"Yes!" Upon hearing Hun Yu's words, the man nodded as if he had been granted a pardon, and then quickly left, wiping a cold sweat from his heart.
Despite saying that, after this battle, he felt a deep sense of dread towards the Langya Guard, whom he had never met before.
In the battle just now, if the Langya Guard hadn't had to be distracted by taking care of those Dou Zong disciples, their losses of powerful warriors would have been even more severe.
He deliberately omitted this point; otherwise, wouldn't it imply that the guards were incompetent? At that time, the Hui man would very likely have lost his life.
"Old Ku, are the people from the Langya Pavilion very strong this time?" After listening to his subordinate's report, Hun Yu stepped forward and asked Ku Mu.
Upon hearing Hun Yu's words, Ku Mu's long white eyebrows furrowed, and he said solemnly:
"I am unaware of this matter either. Perhaps the information that those useless people reported to the clan back then wasn't entirely useless."
Although Ku Mu is a newly promoted one of the Three Heavenly Venerates of the Soul Hall, he was parachuted into the Soul Hall from the Soul Clan. Coincidentally, during this period, the Soul Hall and Langya Pavilion maintained a tacit understanding and did not engage in large-scale battles, so the Soul Palace was not very familiar with the combat strength of the Langya Guard.
Although the Soul Hall had submitted information about the Langya Pavilion to the Soul Clan and even gave a detailed introduction to the Langya Guard, the Soul Clan experts, who held the Central Plains in contempt, used it as an excuse for their incompetence.
For various reasons, the group of powerful individuals from the Soul Clan paid a heavy price for their arrogance in their first battle.
"And..." Ku Mu whispered to Hun Yu, "Young Master, you must be careful of that woman."
Sensing Hun Yu's doubts, Ku Mu continued, "That woman didn't use her full strength just now. If I'm not mistaken, she's probably only one step away from becoming Half-Saint."
"If he goes all out, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand him."
"Is it really true that the withered old man has aged so much?" Hun Yu was startled.
Seeing the serious expression on Ku Mu's face, Hun Yu's apprehension deepened.
The former had been immersed in the Dou Zun level for many years and was also at the Ninth Turn Dou Zun Peak. If it weren't for the recent tense situation in Central Plains and the fact that the Soul Clan had offended someone rather ruthlessly, the clan would never have sent such a strong person to protect him personally.
To everyone's surprise, the powerful figure he had placed such high hopes on actually gave such a high evaluation of the woman, whom he considered to be only at the seventh or eighth level.
Only then did Hun Yu realize that he did not know enough about a certain great enemy.
Perhaps the biggest threat to his trip to the Bodhi Ancient Tree was not the Gu Clan Soul Clan's number one enemy, but those he had overlooked.
"It seems I need to find some help," Hun Yu thought to himself.
He now realizes that his own strength is not enough to overcome the difficulties, therefore, strong external assistance is indispensable.
Just as Hun Yu was racking his brains for a suitable shield, he suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye a group of people dressed in gorgeous clothes appearing at the edge of the Ancient Domain Stage.
"What a great helper!" Hun Yu chuckled to herself. She quickly tidied her appearance and, once again wearing that smile that unconsciously inspired goodwill, walked towards the approaching individuals.
On the high platform in the center of the Ancient Domain Stage, many people naturally noticed Hun Yu's actions and cast curious glances at him.
"Elder, it seems that Hun Yu has gone to contact the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan," the person behind her said to Xian'er.
"The Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan?" Xian'er slowly opened her eyes, then said disdainfully, "The Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan is probably the only force willing to help him."
If other forces were to clash with the Soul Clan, perhaps some would still want to curry favor with the Soul Clan, agreeing to join forces with Hun Yu and becoming its pawns, at Hun Yu's beck and call.
But his opponent was Langya Pavilion. The Soul Clan's greatest influence outside was the Soul Hall, and it was no secret that the Soul Hall had been thrashed by the Langya Pavilion in Central Plains. The only thought of those fence-sitters was to stay far away from them.
The only helper that Hun Yu could find was the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, who had a considerable grudge against the Langya Pavilion and was quite powerful.
"Don't worry, there are plenty of people who want to take action against the Soul Clan."
Watching the scene of Hun Yu chatting happily with the young man leading the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, Xian'er said calmly, "Since he wants to drag others down with him, let him be."
The Soul Clan has enemies all over the world. As long as she takes the initiative or pays some price, she can always get a few powerful allies.
Even worse...
Just as Xiao Han had told her before she left, if all else fails, she should call for help.
Her greatest advantage lies in...
His senior brothers and sisters, master and senior uncles are all Dou Sheng Expert, and he can summon Dou Sheng reinforcements at any time.
This was a devastating blow to the younger generation of Hun Yu and other powerful forces, who were still in their infancy. They simply didn't have the authority to enlist the help of Dou Sheng Expert.
Therefore, the moment the Hun Yu appeared before Xian'er, the latter had already sentenced it to death.
