Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 754 'The Battle of Gu'

As time passed, countless members of the clan began to flock into the main city of the Soul Realm.

The struggle for the position of young clan leader can last for decades or even centuries, but a competition that has resumed after only ten years is unprecedented in the history of the Soul Clan.

For the Soul Clan, who have always pursued power, witnessing the clash of contemporary prodigies is undoubtedly an event not to be missed.

This is truly a battle belonging to the pinnacle of the younger generation of the Soul Clan. Even if one only gains a sliver of insight from it, it will benefit them for a lifetime.

The once congested skies above the main city are now completely deserted, under absolute lockdown, while the area below is now densely packed with people.

Tens of thousands of powerful Soul Clan members, along with tens of millions of their descendants, eagerly awaited the arrival of the enormous Soul Sun in the sky.

The competition for the position of young clan leader is a crucial matter concerning the fate of the Soul Clan. Therefore, during the Gu Competition, the entire main city of the Soul Realm will be shut down, and any powerful cultivator who meets the required cultivation level will be allowed to enter and observe.

Given the Soul Clan's terrifying work efficiency, even if the Soul Realm's main city were to shut down for only an hour, the resulting losses would be immeasurable in terms of wealth. Yet now, it has been completely shut down.

It is easy to imagine just how much importance the Soul Clan's leadership placed on the competition for the position of young clan leader.

However, this year's competition for the position of young clan leader is completely different from any previous one.

Everyone knows that the contenders for the position of young clan leader will be the newly appointed young clan leader, Hun Feng, and the current clan leader's biological daughter, Hun Ruoruo!
The title of "daughter of the clan chief" alone is enough to steal the spotlight.

But instead of exposing it, she won the Pill Gathering with her own strength, and even personally nurtured the Soul Clan's second ninth-grade alchemist, a talent they hadn't had in a long time.
Either of these two individuals, if placed in the Eight Clans, would be a terrifying force that would lead an era. Yet now they are both to be imprisoned and become rivals in the election.

This is absolutely unprecedented in the Soul Realm.

If even one person were to suffer a mishap, it would be an extremely heavy blow to the younger generation of the Soul Clan.

Time passed second by second, and as the soul sun in the sky gradually climbed to the top of the sky, the originally chaotic crowd suddenly turned into silence. For thousands of miles around the world, no one dared to speak.

Since there is a sage before us, we will keep our mouths shut.

The oppressive aura emanating from Hunyang was none other than the true might of a saint!
Under the overwhelming pressure that made people prostrate themselves and bow their heads in devout worship, a ball of dark, burning flames silently fell from the sky.

As the flames spread out, a strange figure covered in black runes slowly emerged, appearing like a god in the frenzied gazes of the crowd.

"Welcome, Lord Void!"

"Welcome, Lord Void Devouring Flame!"

The figure that emerged from the blazing sun of the Soul Realm was none other than the Void Devouring Flame, the supreme treasure of the Soul Clan, ranked second on the Strange Flame Ranking!

If the Soul Emperor is the Heaven of the Soul Clan, then the Void Devouring Flame is the Yang of the Soul Clan. Although there is a difference in their status, they both possess irreplaceable supreme power.

On her seat, Hun Ruoruo rested her cheek on her hand, silently watching the Supreme Holy Shadow in the center.

Beside him stood a group of prodigies who had participated in the selection, starting with Hun Yu. At this moment, all of them were kneeling on the ground, their expressions respectful.

She was the only one who didn't kneel, but everyone thought it was perfectly reasonable.

"He didn't come?"

Hun Ruoruo curled her lips slightly and said something inexplicable: "Indeed, compared to the all-encompassing sky, the blazing sun that burns forever overhead seems to please people more."

Hun Yu, standing to the side, suddenly shuddered, pretending not to have heard anything. Hun Ruoruo glanced at him and suddenly asked with a smile, "Speaking of which, it seems that we are missing a key person among us."

Knowing she couldn't escape it, Hun Yu inwardly groaned, but dared not hide the truth: "Miss, as the current young clan leader, Hun Feng's actual status is almost second only to those most senior clan elders. Even Lord Hun Miesheng is inferior to him."

"Given his status, he will only come with those saintly elders and will not be grouped with us."

After saying that, he quickly added, "Of course, with your strength, Miss, you will surely receive the same treatment after this competition!"

"Does becoming the young clan leader really grant you such great power?" Ignoring the other party's flattery, Hun Ruoruo asked calmly.

As far as she knew, Xun'er, who was also the designated successor to the family head, probably had a status far inferior to even the weakest elder. The difference between the two was like heaven and earth.

"You should know that in the Soul Clan, there is no such thing as fairness; only the strong have the right to speak." Soul Jade sighed softly. "A figure like him is enough to dominate an era, while my Soul Clan, though ancient, how many centuries or millennia can we have?"

"Ever since he slaughtered all the previous generation's prodigies, few in the Soul Clan have seen him personally take action."

"You've seen it?" Hun Ruoruo asked with great interest.

Hunyu, unusually, did not respond. Instead, she pointed to the central battlefield and said with a smirk, "Miss, it's time to enter."

Hun Ruoruo gave him a half-smile, but didn't ask any further questions. She got up and left her seat.

Upon arriving at the battlefield, Hun Ruoruo's appearance drew countless astonished and reverent gazes.

"That's the young lady?!"

"There is no mistake. Our Soul Clan has produced countless geniuses throughout the ages, but she is the only woman to participate in the election for the young clan leader!"

"No wonder the clan chief kept her hidden away for so many years; the young lady's beauty is truly outstanding."

As members of the Soul Clan, the powerful figures on the field are all cold and ruthless, and they regard women as mere skeletons, unable to care about even the most outstanding looks.

Even so, the girl's appearance still caused them to be momentarily stunned.

This feeling is not related to any distracting thoughts, but rather stems from a deep-seated inclination.

Whether it's her identity, strength, or bloodline talent, Hun Ruoruo has reached the pinnacle of the Soul Clan, and even her most unremarkable appearance is perfect.

"Is this the young lady?"

Before long, a deep voice, respectful yet sincere, rang out.

Looking up, the person who had spoken earlier was now slowly walking down from the elder's seat.

The newcomer wore a long robe for practicing martial arts, which seemed to have been washed many times and was slightly faded, but it was clean and tidy. His short hair, about half an inch long, added a touch of honesty to his simple face, making him look like an ordinary farmer.

With his appearance, the arena seemed to suffocate, instantly becoming completely silent. Those who were watching Hun Ruoruo all turned their heads, even forgetting to breathe.

"My name is Hunfeng, and I greet Miss Ruoruo."
