Good News
Thinking of Li Changqing, Xiao Yan looked at the somewhat somber Great Hall, pondered for a moment, and decided to tell Li Changqing about his situation.
Although he didn't know if Li Changqing's purpose was really the same as he guessed, it was at least good news and could boost morale.
Xiao Yan slowly stood up and said, "Everyone, perhaps there is another good news."
Everyone looked doubtful. At this point, what good news could there be besides finding the location of the Soul World, or the Hun Tiandi failing to refine the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill and failing to break through to the Dou Di?
But how could that be? Xiao Yan may be talented, but he's only Seven-Star Dou Sheng after all.
Even a powerful figure like Gu Yuan, who was already at the Peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng, couldn't find the Soul World. How could Xiao Yan possibly find it?
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Xiao Yan continued, "I have a good brother named Li Changqing. He joined the Hun Clan back then, and he's probably in the Soul World now."
Everyone was surprised; in that sense, it was indeed good news.
But then someone else asked, "Li Changqing? I don't think I've heard of that name before. What kind of strength does he possess?"
"But even if he's in the Soul World, it's useless. The Hun Clan has definitely placed him under martial law and won't let any information get out."
"Furthermore, as an outsider, how could he possibly enter the Soul World? He must have some ulterior motive."
Xiao Yan nodded and answered each question, "Seven years ago was the last time I saw Li Changqing."
"He was Five-Star Dou Sheng back then, I don't know what his cultivation level is now. But his cultivation speed is much faster than mine, his cultivation level is at least the same as mine, Seven-Star Dou Sheng, or maybe even higher."
Everyone fell silent. Xiao Yan's cultivation speed had already shocked them, but Li Changqing was even faster than Xiao Yan.
A powerhouse who has reached at least the level of Seven-Star Dou Sheng can indeed cause considerable trouble in the Soul World.
Xiao Yan continued, "He once told me that he joined the Hun Clan for a reason. I was just wondering, what exactly is it about the Hun Clan that would make him do this?"
After he finished speaking, all the powerful figures in the Great Hall pondered: What was Li Changqing's purpose in joining the Hun Clan?
Especially the three clan leaders, Gu Yuan, Lei Ying, and Yan Jin, asked themselves, what exactly is it about this peerless genius with such a cultivation speed that would make him go to such lengths as to infiltrate the Hun Clan to obtain it?
The answer is obvious: even the most powerful Gu Clan have nothing that can attract such a mission, let alone make him go to great lengths to infiltrate.
A guess arose in their minds, but they dared not voice it.
According to Xiao Yan, Li Changqing joined the Hun Clan more than a decade ago, but the Hun Tiandi only recently obtained the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill, less than a month ago.
If their guesses are true, then this Li Changqing is definitely not simple.
Finally, Gu Yuan spoke up, "Could it be that Li Changqing's goal is Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill?"
The moment the guess was uttered, the leaders of the various factions were all shocked, and their gazes turned to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan shook his head with a wry smile, "That's what I guessed too, but it's just a guess. I don't know the real purpose."
Zhu Kun then raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Even so, the Hun Tiandi's current strength far surpasses mine and Gu Yuan's; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's Half-Step Dou Di. How can he possibly snatch the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill from the Hun Tiandi?"
Gu Yuan chimed in, "Moreover, the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill is currently inside the Hun Tiandi's body. If Li Changqing wants to obtain the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill, he either has to get the Hun Tiandi to actively force the core out of his body. However, given the Hun Tiandi's character, he would never do that."
"In other words, if he wants to obtain the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill, he must first defeat the Hun Tiandi. However, with so many powerful figures in the Soul World, the Hun Tiandi's strength is arguably the strongest on the continent. How can he possibly achieve this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the Great Hall felt that Li Changqing wouldn't be able to cause much trouble in the Soul World.
At most, it will cause some disturbance and delay the Hun Tiandi's time to refine the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill.
"Brother Xiao Yan, I have good news." At this moment, Gu Xun Er's voice came from outside the Great Hall.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Xun Er's beautiful figure, accompanied by the Amethyst Winged Lion King, slowly entered the Great Hall.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King, sensing the powerful auras of everyone in the Great Hall, was so frightened that he dared not even breathe, his body slightly bowed and his head lowered.
The moment Xiao Yan saw the Amethyst Winged Lion King, he jumped up, a look of joy on his face.
The people in the Great Hall were somewhat confused, as they did not know that the Amethyst Winged Lion King was Li Changqing's mount.
A Nine-Turn Dou Venerate- level magical beast, though powerful under normal circumstances, is utterly useless in the current situation; it's no exaggeration to say it's just an ordinary soldier.
After all, in the war against the Hun Clan, at least Dou Sheng is needed to play a significant role.
How can this be considered good news?
After nodding slightly to Gu Xun Er, Xiao Yan looked at everyone in the Great Hall and said, "Everyone, this Amethyst Winged Lion King is Brother Qing's mount. Through it, we might be able to find out Brother Qing's current situation."
As he spoke, Xiao Yan looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King and continued, "Lion King, do you know about Brother Qing's current situation? We desperately need his help."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King cautiously swept his gaze over the people in the Great Hall and slowly said, "I am also unaware of the master's current situation."
"I was traveling the Dou Qi Continent with my master, but more than ten days ago, my master received a message from the Hun Clan, asking him to the Hun Clan."
"I originally wanted to follow him, but my master said that he was going to turn the Hun Clan upside down, and I would be a burden if I followed him, so he set me free."
After hearing this, everyone in the Great Hall was completely certain that Li Changqing did indeed want to obtain the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill.
After all, at this point, they really couldn't think of any other reason besides a Nascent Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill to cause such chaos for the Hun Clan.
Questions such as why Li Changqing could gain such trust from the Hun Clan, and whether Li Changqing could truly predict the future, were temporarily set aside by the crowd.
What they were most concerned about at that moment was whether Li Changqing truly had the ability to seize the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill.
Zhu Kun's gaze sharpened as he stared intently at the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and he asked in a deep voice, "Little lion, what is the current strength of your master?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King was startled and his whole body trembled. Although Zhu Kun did not actively release his pressure, he still felt a strong threat.
It comes not only from strength, but also from the oppressive feeling of bloodline.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King dared not slacken in the slightest and immediately sold out all information about Li Changqing's strength:
"Reporting to Senior, I do not know the exact strength of my master. However, not long ago, my master refined Ninth-Grade Golden Pill, and after consuming it, the aura released during his breakthrough in cultivation was no weaker than yours."
Having said that, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, fearing he might anger Zhu Kun, lowered his head even further.
The entire Great Hall fell silent once more; you could hear a pin drop.
