Exchange

"This time, members of my Langya Pavilion will lead the charge." After organizing his thoughts, Xiao Han said seriously.

"What?"

"Ice Saint, you can't say things like that!" Elder Yao interrupted from the side.

The other party had given him quite a few good things, and Elder Yao felt he couldn't just watch this person willingly step into a fire pit.

"Although Langya Pavilion is quite powerful, it is still far behind the Soul Clan."

The Elder Yao advised leisurely, "We mustn't ruin Langya Pavilion's bright future for the sake of a momentary argument!"

"The Medicine Saint is absolutely right," Gu Yuan nodded in agreement, then said, "If the Langya Pavilion were to bear all the burdens, where would that leave our Ancient Races?"

Ancient Races have always been seen as mysterious and powerful in the eyes of the world. Although they have been dealt a terrible blow by the Soul Clan, they still need to maintain their basic persona.

If people knew that the Ancient Races had joined forces with the Central Plains forces and actually let the latter lead the charge to their deaths, would they still be able to maintain their dignity?

As an elder, Xiao Xuan also frowned, but compared to the others, he understood Xiao Han better and was more composed.

He simply asked, "Do you have some backup plan?"

"A backup plan?" Everyone turned their gaze to Xiao Han, who remained calm and composed.

"Old Ye, let's go!" Xiao Han smiled slightly and called out.

"You just wait!" Ye Jianxin cursed inwardly, but in front of outsiders, he still needed to save face for his brother.

Ye Jianxin's storage Storage Ring lit up, and hundreds of palm-sized cyan jade tablets appeared before everyone's eyes.

Before anyone could ask, Xiao Han volunteered, "To take on all the pressure of the battlefield, my Langya Pavilion is not so arrogant."

"Therefore, it is natural that everyone needs to contribute."

Xiao Han casually took out a jade token and smiled:

"These are prepared for the Dou Sheng of all forces. Please ensure that all participating Dou Sheng wear one during the great battle."

The group exchanged silent glances, each receiving their corresponding jade tokens, and then turned their inquiring gazes to Xiao Han.

The latter kept everyone in suspense, smiling mysteriously as he said, "As for what will happen, please wait and see."

"Believe me, that's a great gift for the Soul Clan."

"Oh?" Gu Yuan said with a smile, "Then I'll definitely have to see for myself when the time comes."

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, the Ancient Races' armies were also arranged to enter their respective camps. Fortunately, when Langtian City, it was developed in the direction of a large city, so there was no so-called housing overcrowding.

This day.

Xiao Han looked up at the dark clouds on the horizon, and an invisible pressure appeared in the air above.

Around them, many powerful figures, including Xiao Xuan and Gu Yuan, also stared intently at a certain spot, solemnly saying, "They've arrived."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the characteristic laughter of the Soul Clan Member was heard, "Hehehe~"

A crack suddenly appeared in mid-air, and the leader was a gentle and refined man. His gentle and jade-like appearance would not be doubted even if he were a scholar who could not even kill a chicken. But it was this man who planned a series of horrific massacres of Ancient Races.

Two figures, one in black and one in red, followed closely behind the Soul Emperor, stepping out. Then, a densely packed Soul Clan Army suddenly appeared.

The moment he appeared, the Soul Emperor's gaze suddenly pierced through space, even ignoring his formidable rivals Gu Yuan and Xiao Xuan beside him, and landed directly on Xiao Han in the crowd.

"Ice Saint, you are quite skilled!" the Soul Emperor said sinisterly, "You have deceived the heavens and the sea, even fooling my Soul Clan."

Although the Soul Emperor had already given the Ice Saint a very high ranking in his heart, both the other party's strength and talent were rare in his life.

But when he learned the other party's true identity from Hun Miesheng, he was still stunned for more than ten minutes.

He had somehow allowed a Xiao Clan genius to grow steadily to the peak of the Nine Star Dou Sheng, and he was completely unaware of it until the other party deliberately self-destructed.

Despite his self-proclaimed ability to scheme against the world, he didn't even put that old codger Gu Yuan in his eyes. He even managed to kill the once arrogant Xiao Xuan. Even though Xiao Xuan was resurrected due to some accident, Xiao Xuan, who was only at the mid-stage of the Nine Star realm, was still not a threat.

Unexpectedly, I was defeated by a junior who was two hundred years old. The feeling can be summed up in one word: Damn!

"It's not really a cover-up," Xiao Han said calmly. "The Soul Clan is powerful, and this was just a little trick we had to play to prevent others from following the trail."

"Unlike His Excellency the Soul Emperor, who plotted for many years and rose up in one fell swoop, even forcing everyone to join forces to deal with him."

"Isn't that right?"

Upon hearing Xiao Han's words, the two sides reacted differently.

For the patriarchs of Ancient Races like Gu Yuan, the Soul Clan's covert rise to power was undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face, but it was also a painful fact. As powerful figures, they had to acknowledge their defeat.

As for the protagonist, the Soul Emperor, he accepted Xiao Han's praise with a faint smile.

"Since you admire my clan leader's methods so much, why not join my Soul Clan? Let's join forces and explore the scenery of that higher realm together!"

"You jest, sir. Let's get down to business as soon as possible!"

As Xiao Han spoke, an ancient Jade Pendant appeared directly in his hand.

Originally, the Soul Emperor was still stunned by Xiao Han's swift actions. After all, the two were in the middle of a verbal battle, and he didn't expect Xiao Han, a member of the Xiao Clan, to successfully betray him. But why is he not following the script?

But upon seeing the Tou She Ancient God Jade, the Soul Emperor ultimately chose to let go of everything. "The Ice Saint is indeed straightforward!"

Then...

"May the Ice Saint verify whether this is indeed Ye Shenghan from your esteemed sect?" The Soul Emperor said softly, carrying a figure covered in wounds and with a weakened aura.

The tone was as if they were merely discussing the sale of a Magical Beast cub in the market.

Grabbing Ye Jianxin, whose emotions were somewhat unstable, Xiao Han's immense Soul Strength immediately enveloped the figure in front of him.

Two minutes later...

Xiao Han withdrew his Soul Strength, looked at the smiling Soul Emperor, and said in a deep voice:

"No problem!"

"Then how shall we exchange them?" the Soul Emperor asked with a smile, seemingly already certain that the Ancient Jade was his.

Xiao Han thought for a moment, then noticed the blood-stained figure behind the Soul Emperor, pointed at it, and said:

"How about just me and that person?"

"Me?" Blood Serum was stunned.

The Soul Emperor also looked bewildered, but did not object, and smiled, saying, "Then we shall follow the Ice Saint."

"Blood Serum, thank you for your trouble." The Soul Emperor smiled gently at Blood Serum.

"It was nothing." Although the Soul Emperor's smile was very friendly, Xue Qing, who knew the other party's methods well, felt a chill Blood Serum his spine and said with a fawning smile.

Ye Shenghan, who had just received the Blood Serum from the Soul Emperor, slowly walked toward Xiao Han.

Xiao Han looked at the incoming Blood Serum and met it with a solemn expression.

One step, two steps, three steps...

As the two drew closer, countless hearts in the audience also jumped.

For the Ancient Races, only one of the eight Ancient Jade pieces of the Soul Emperor was missing. If the other side obtained it, and even found or opened the Ancient Emperor Cave Abode before them, or even obtained the secret to becoming an emperor and entered the legendary Dou Di realm, they could declare their doom.

For the Soul Clan, they have painstakingly worked for many years to Tou She Ancient God Jade, even at the cost of making enemies of the entire continent. Now that they are just one step away from success, how can they afford to make the slightest mistake!

Finally...

Xiao Han and the other person successfully met!

"You hand over the jade, I'll release him!" Blood Serum grinned. "And we'll release him at the same time, how about it?"

"Okay." Xiao Han nodded in agreement.

"Three... two... one"

"Let go!" The two simultaneously threw the jade and the person in their hands, caught them, and then retreated in unison.

At the same time, a loud shout came from both sides, almost simultaneously:

"Let's do it!"

A barrage of dazzling Dou Techniques suddenly rained down on the Blood Serum that held the Ancient Jade.
