Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 626: Cooperation Leads to Win-Win?

With the groundwork laid earlier, Hun Ruoruo reaped her first 'test subject' with almost no obstacles.

The most crucial point in avoiding the control of the Void Devouring Flame is that one must not possess the bloodline of a Dou Di (Battle Emperor).

As a member of a different clan, Mo Yu was not only of mortal origin with no ties, but his loyalty also reached its peak under the influence of the Soul Imprint. It would not be an exaggeration to call him a test subject of the Holy Body.

And so, with one willing to give and the other willing to receive, Demon Rain quickly began to merge with the Void Fire Seed.

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The strange behavior of the Ninth Heavenly Venerable's sudden disappearance and the inexplicable reduction of members in the Ninth Heavenly Venerable's Hall quickly attracted the attention of the other Heavenly Venerables.

Tiangang Hall, the Heavenly Venerable Council Hall.

A slender figure dressed in a blood-red robe was sitting casually in a seat, with her legs propped up on the round table.

He swirled the wine glass in his hand, the viscous, scarlet liquid hanging on the transparent glass, as glaring as fresh blood.

This person was none other than Blood River, the leader of the Fourth Heavenly Venerable Hall.

"Have you heard the news from Lao Jiu's side?"

A soft voice rang out, and a moment later, a burly man dressed in an earth-gray robe slowly emerged from the shadows.

"Hehe, as expected, Fourth Brother is the most well-informed."

A towering figure, easily two zhang tall, sat heavily on the seat, causing the hall to tremble for a moment. The man placed his hand on the table and began to tap rhythmically.

"Old Ninth is very ambitious and has never been willing to be subordinate to us. This time, he is probably in seclusion to seek a way to break through."

He paused here, then continued, "Unfortunately, sacrificing one's own men is merely killing the goose that lays the golden eggs."

The man's voice was extremely rough, yet it carried a barely perceptible hint of disdain, clearly showing his contempt for the actions of the Nine Heavens Venerable.

"Prison."

Blood River suddenly called out to the other party, his voice gentle: "As fellow Sequence Celestial Venerables, it would be disruptive to point fingers at one's own brother so easily."

Upon hearing this, the man known as 'Prison Land' changed his expression slightly. After a long while, he reluctantly lowered his head and said with an uncertain expression:

"Yes, Fourth Brother."

He knew perfectly well that, despite the slender man's gentle and calm appearance, when it came to ruthlessness, few in the entire Soul Palace could compare to him.

Following the codename "River of Blood" lies a truly endless mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood.

"I know that you and Ninth Brother have been fighting for a long time. After all, your cultivation levels are only one star apart, so some conflicts are inevitable."

Gazing at the tall man before him, a deep, eerie light flashed in Xuehe's crimson eyes:

"But since this concerns the interests of my Soul Palace, I suppose I don't need to remind you of what you should and shouldn't do."

".yes."

Upon hearing this, a ruthless glint flashed in Qiu Di's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Fourth Brother, rest assured, I am determined to get that Yao Chen, and there is absolutely no way I will make any mistakes!"

Xuehe nodded: "You and Yao Chen had a considerable grudge in the past. If you can successfully capture him this time, the bottleneck of the Eight-Star Dou Zun will probably not be able to hold you back."

Upon hearing Blood River mention this matter again, the murderous intent in Prisoner's eyes intensified.

Back when Yao Chen had not yet become the number one alchemist on the continent, the Prisoner had already taken a liking to his soul and attempted to recruit him into the Soul Palace's formation as a talent.

To the prisoner's utter surprise, despite his cultivation level being far superior to Yao Chen's, Yao Chen seemed to have divine assistance, always managing to escape from life-or-death situations.
The first time, Yao Chen was seriously injured and fled, barely clinging to life.

The second time, Yao Chen fought and retreated, using all his trump cards before leaving triumphantly. The third time, he was actually no match for Yao Chen!

Not only could he not win, but he was also repeatedly beaten to the ground by the opponent until he activated the Heavenly Venerable Order and was lucky enough to save his life.

Such a stark contrast could only fuel the anger and hatred of the prisoners!
Therefore, upon learning of Yao Chen's reappearance, he practically abandoned all his affairs and snatched this opportunity for revenge from the other Heavenly Venerables.

"Brother Hu is right. No matter what Lao Jiu wants to do, if it involves the secrets of the Soul Palace, he certainly wouldn't dare to tamper with matters of principle."

After careful consideration, Prisoner Land ultimately decided to heed Blood River's orders, temporarily setting aside their prejudices and uniting against external threats:
"I will personally hand over the Danhui plan to Lao Jiu. Please rest assured, Fourth Brother."

Having said that, he no longer hesitated, cupped his hands towards the Blood River, and hurried towards the direction of the Ninth Heavenly Venerable Hall.

As fellow members of the Soul Palace, we shouldn't be so petty about minor conflicts.

Only through cooperation can we achieve a win-win situation!
Ninth Brother, don't worry, once I capture that Yao Chen, I'll naturally leave you some soup to drink.

"Miss, this is the strategic plan sent by the Eighth Heavenly Venerable. Please take a look."

In the Ninth Heavenly Venerable Hall, Mo Yu respectfully presented the Soul Scroll with both hands.

"So fast?" Hun Ruoruo glanced sideways, somewhat surprised. "Isn't there still half a year until the Pill Gathering?"

Mo Yu explained with a faint smile, "Miss, you may not know this, but each Venerable One has an extremely heavy task. If it is not arranged in advance, it is difficult to gather manpower in a short period of time, so it is natural to make preparations in advance."

The reason why the Soul Palace is able to possess so many resource rewards is not only because it is backed by the behemoth that is the Soul Clan, but also because its own operating system plays a decisive role.

To outsiders, the Soul Hall's experts are all elusive figures, but this is a huge misconception.

It's not that they don't want to show up, it's that they simply don't have the time.

The Dou Qi Continent is so vast that even a Dou Sheng expert traveling through the void would find it difficult to traverse the continent in a short time, let alone ordinary cultivators.

And what about the Soul Palace? At most, it only has the three Heavenly Generals Palaces, the twenty-four Earthly Fiends Palaces, and some scattered branch palaces. It's impossible for it to cover the entire Dou Qi Continent.

Wanting to have informants all over the continent while ensuring that the Soul Hall doesn't lower its standards for recruiting members is obviously an extremely difficult task.

There was no other way but to rely on the existing members.

Therefore, the members of the Soul Hall were either traveling to various places or on their way to various places, and over time, they earned the reputation of being "elusive and rarely seen".

After listening to Mo Yu's story, Hun Ruoruo fell silent, a rare occurrence for her.

After a long pause, she pursed her lips and said, "Your palace master is truly a genius."

No wonder the Soul Palace has been secretly developing so fast. No wonder the Soul Palace knows that Xiao Yan is a threat, but they can never spare the manpower to deal with him. It's true that they were made and destroyed by Soul Extinction.

Mo Yu smiled but did not reply.

"Very well, now that we have the information, it's time for our turn."

Hun Ruoruo sighed, a half-smile on her face: "However, aren't you afraid of suffering a backlash from the Soul Seal for leaking the secrets of the Soul Palace?"

"What leak of information?" Mo Yu looked bewildered: "This old servant is loyal to Miss, which is also loyal to Lord Palace Master. When have I ever leaked any information about the Soul Palace?"

A hint of amusement appeared on Hun Ruoruo's face, and she became even more satisfied: "As expected of someone from the Soul Palace, I'm starting to admire you more and more."

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Miss."

A series of clattering sounds suddenly echoed throughout the Heavenly Venerable Hall.

Cooperation can indeed lead to a win-win situation, but unfortunately, the object of Demon Rain's cooperation is not Prison Land.
