Gate of the Heavenly Tomb

"The three clans sent no one. That gives me a bad feeling..."

While the Ancient Clan's Council of Elders was holding its meeting, the true upper echelon of the Ancient Clan was also having a brief discussion in a scenic garden.

In these people's eyes, the Heavenly Tomb slots were hardly worth mentioning.

Unless the Heavenly Tomb could admit large numbers of people and remain open for an extended period, it held no strategic significance. It was only more important under certain special circumstances.

Thus, they had little interest in how many slots the Ancient Clan would receive this time. What truly caught their attention was the unusual absence of the Medicine Clan, Stone Clan, and Spirit Clan.

"It is highly suspicious that the Stone Clan and Spirit Clan have not come. The Medicine Clan, in particular, should have sent someone to contact our clan. After all, Void Devouring Flame and the Soul Clan's Four Demon Saints appeared during the Medicine Ceremony, which has already unsettled them." King Hienie spoke calmly.

"Has the Soul Clan's Void Devouring Flame truly become a Nine-Star Dou Sheng?" Gu Dao asked gravely.

"Yes. I saw it with my own eyes." King Hienie, Gu Lie, nodded.

Gu Yuan let out a long sigh. "It seems they have been conserving their strength and building up their power all these years. We have grown lax.

"The Soul Clan's threat must be taken seriously. Hun Tiandi has always been wildly ambitious; he likely will not be content with the status quo... What attitude do the representatives sent by the Thunder Clan and Flame Clan have?"

Gu Lie fell silent for a moment before answering, "The Thunder Clan's leader said their clan leader is in seclusion. The Flame Clan's leader said their clan leader still needs time to consider."
