Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 618 Void Swallowing Flame
"Young Clan Leader?"

Looking at the Heavenly Venerable's Decree handed over, even though she had already anticipated the Soul Emperor's thoughts, Hun Ruoruo still couldn't help but frown.

She did not accept the token. After a moment of silence, she looked up and stared at the scholar before her: "Why me?"

"You are my daughter and the inheritor of divine bloodline. Who else is more suitable for this identity than you?" the Soul Emperor said with a faint smile.

The words of the Soul Emperor are true.

Whether considering her status or the bloodline talent that the clan values ​​most, Hun Ruoruo is undoubtedly the best choice, and in his eyes, no one else is a competitor.

Even so, she still lacked the most crucial element in order to win everyone's approval.

That is strength!

Even though she could subdue everyone by virtue of her status as the clan leader's daughter, when it came to matters concerning their own interests, simply relying on her connections was clearly not enough to win over these cold-blooded Soul Clan members.

Cultivation is the true capital to speak with. If you want to conquer the younger generation, you must have the strength to trample everyone under your feet.

Thinking of this, Hun Ruoruo took a deep breath, and the calmness in her eyes was gradually replaced by coldness:

"If I remember correctly, there should already be a young clan leader in the clan, right? You want me to replace him?"

"Not bad." The Soul Emperor gave her an approving look: "When the clan decided to appoint a young clan leader, Su Ying and I did not know each other."

"Cultivation."

"Having spent a thousand years recuperating from my injuries, why would I care about a mere junior?"

"."

Hun Ruoruo remained silent, but her eyes grew increasingly cold.

As the patriarch of the Soul Clan and the only remaining Emperor-level soul on the continent, it can be said that the entire Soul Realm is under his control.

Given his cautious nature, how could he possibly not pay attention to the young clan leader, who held an extremely high status?

Therefore, rather than being told she didn't care, Hun Ruoruo felt that this was just a trick set up by the other party to test her.

Seeing the girl's expression grow increasingly cold, the Soul Emperor paused, then suddenly changed the subject, slowly saying:
"However, all things considered, the other party has been cultivating for sixty years. With your current years of cultivation, I'm afraid you're still lacking."

really!

Upon hearing this, Hun Ruoruo's suspicions became even more certain, and a shadow fell over her delicate and flawless face.

From setting off for Yin Valley to now setting up the task of making him the young clan leader, everything was within the other party's expectations.

He didn't even deliberately set any traps; he simply anticipated what would happen next based on his understanding of himself and everyone else.

And yet she has to fight against such a man.
Is there really such a chance?
At this moment, all worries were left behind.

A strong sense of resentment erupted from the depths of her heart like a geyser. The girl lowered her head, concealing the anger that was about to surge in her eyes.

She doesn't aspire to become the young master of the Soul Clan, whom everyone bows to; she only wishes to protect those around her and live a carefree life.
But the other party insisted on putting on an act as if it were for their own good, taking away his mother and even pushing Xiao Yan to the brink of death, all so that he could return to the Soul Clan.

They say they care about their children, and that their feelings still exist.

With such an aloof and superior attitude, doesn't he still see her as nothing more than a mere pawn on the chessboard?!
"As ordered."

Hun Ruoruo's voice was as cold as ice, as if all emotions had vanished at this moment: "Father."

The Soul Emperor's gaze narrowed slightly, but in the end he said nothing more, only nodding slightly.

He stood up from his seat, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping over the girl's gray and dull hair before he stopped and slowly walked towards the outside.

"I believe that with your talent, it is only a matter of time before you surpass the current young clan leader. But what you lack most is precisely time."

Upon reaching the door, the scholar paused slightly and said with a faint smile, "If you are determined to become stronger, then go find 'it'."

Having said that, he didn't linger. He stepped out of the room, and his figure vanished silently, as if leaving no trace in the snow.

"."

After an unknown amount of time, Hun Ruoruo sighed softly, moved her somewhat stiff body, swayed to the door, and slammed the door shut.

She slid down the doorway, reached out and grabbed the Heavenly Venerable Token placed on the table, holding it in her palm.

After a while.

After carefully observing the appearance of the Celestial Venerable Token, Hun Ruoruo did not hesitate for long and directly poured her soul power into it.

With the continuous infusion of soul power, the Heavenly Venerable Token, which had become slightly dim due to use, once again shone brightly, with mysterious purple-gold patterns outlined on it, exuding an unimaginable aura of majesty.

Clearly, compared to the Celestial Venerable Token used by the Old Ghost of Stars, this one was not only stronger, but also fundamentally different from the original. "A Celestial Venerable of the Sequence."

Hun Ruoruo frowned slightly and quickly realized the origin of this Heavenly Venerable Decree.

If Soul Extinction is the supreme leader of the entire Soul Palace, then Sequence Celestial Venerable is the representative who directly issues commands.

The Celestial Venerable Token is the core item for issuing commands by the Celestial Venerables in the sequence.

The Soul Palace has nine Heavenly Venerables in sequence because there are only nine Heavenly Venerable Tokens with special abilities.

Hun Ruoruo suddenly realized something, her pupils shrinking slightly: "So, one of the nine Celestial Venerables has already perished?"

Among the Celestial Venerables in the sequence, only the Ninth Celestial Venerable 'Demon Rain,' who had the lowest cultivation level, had met her once, and the other party was merely a projection conjured by An Suying.

Even so, it still attracted a massive massacre.

But now, someone has actually killed a Celestial Venerable, and even the Celestial Venerable Token has ended up in the hands of the Soul Emperor!

Who in the world can bear such consequences?

However, just a moment later, Hun Ruoruo's movements suddenly froze.

A gentle and loving figure had quietly appeared in her mind.

"Mother."

Hun Ruoruo's breathing was somewhat disordered, and her eyes kept flickering.

She should have thought of it much earlier.

Given An Suying's personality and temperament, how could she possibly be willing to watch Yin Gu perish without doing anything?
It turns out that the other person, like her, had already launched their own resistance!

"No wonder Mother never spoke of Yin Gu's past, no wonder she sacrificed herself to create that dream for me, she..."

Hun Ruoruo's voice grew increasingly urgent, but then suddenly stopped abruptly.

A moment later, a soft sigh escaped from the girl's lips: "She lost."

The facts have already proven her fate; she not only lost, but lost miserably, and the shattered Yin Valley is the best proof of that.

That's why, if she herself couldn't do it, how could An Suying bear to hand over this heavy responsibility to her own flesh and blood?
The Heavenly Venerable Token in her hand cracked as she gripped it, but the turmoil in Hun Ruoruo's eyes gradually subsided.

"In the end... I still can't figure it out." The girl murmured to herself.

The Soul Emperor's thoughts and schemes are indeed beyond her comprehension at this moment.

Whether internally or externally, her biological father is undoubtedly the person who understands her best in the world, and that is why all her resistance and struggles seem so pale and powerless.

However, this does not mean despair.

Hun Ruoruo also has her own secret, a secret that is out of place in this world, a top secret that even her closest and dearest loved ones do not know—

past life.

She was unclear about the details of the Soul Emperor's plan, but she knew his purpose. She couldn't fathom the Soul Emperor's thoughts, but she understood his obsessions and weaknesses!

When she looked up again, the girl's starry eyes were burning with an unprecedented brilliance, as if they could contain the stars and the sea, and encompass everything.

If Xiao Yan happened to be here, he would probably immediately recognize that the girl in front of him was exactly the same as the scholar with the fan who had talked about the world with him in the pavilion!
"Whatever your true intentions, if you want to orchestrate the game, you must be prepared to face the backlash." Hun Ruoruo's voice was indifferent and ruthless, as if the heavens themselves were hanging high above.

Since escape is inevitable, then one should simply participate.

The bloodline that is closely connected with the Soul Emperor is not just a shackle, but also an advantage.

Moreover, it's an advantage that's unique to her!
After speaking, Hun Ruoruo pointed a finger at the Heavenly Venerable Token, and the pressure of the Heavenly Realm soul surged out, destroying the soul imprint of the fallen Heavenly Venerable inside like a whirlwind.

"From this day forward, I shall wield this Seal of the Celestial Venerable." The girl spoke slowly and deliberately, each word carrying the flowing essence of the Dao, resolute and firm.

The next moment, a blue-purple light pattern instantly climbed onto the surface of the Celestial Venerable Token, and then gradually condensed into a shallow mark, which was re-engraved in the core position inside.

Upon sensing the presence of the mark, the Celestial Decree shone brightly and was fully activated, its buzzing sound reverberating. In just a few breaths, it transformed into a small, exquisitely designed barrier.

Within the barrier, three objects were prominently displayed.

A lightly shaped curved blade, a deep purple tome, and a quietly burning, pitch-black flame that seems to exist forever.

"Sure enough."

Staring at the flame that could engulf light, a chilling glint shone in Hun Ruoruo's eyes:
"The way to become stronger is through this Void Devouring Flame."
