Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 800: Is the Prince Consort More Important or the Interests of the Soul Clan? (3k4, First Update!)

Ancient tribe, ancient world.

On a beautiful mountain peak, a figure stood with his hands behind his back, a strand of black and white hair fluttering in front of his forehead, bringing to mind the cold, demonic eyes below.

"Has Xiao Yan already met with Xun'er?"

As the young man spoke in a cold whisper, a man dressed in silver-white armor appeared behind him like a ghost.

"Hehe, that Xiao Yan is incredibly audacious. On his very first day in my clan, his old servants beat Yang Hao to the point of near crippling him. He has no regard for any rules."

The man in silver armor smiled mockingly and said, "However, you should know that he doesn't seem to have any romantic feelings for Xun'er. He has never even accepted the clan's secret treasures that Xun'er gave him. I must say, as an elder brother, Xiao Yan is indeed qualified."

"Brother?"

Upon hearing this, the demon-like youth sneered, as if he had heard a great joke, "A lowly bastard from a degraded race dares to call himself the young lady's brother?"

"That's true, but it seems our word doesn't count." The man in silver armor shrugged helplessly.

Since Ling Quan's death, the entire Black Annihilation Army has regarded Xiao Yan as their number one focus. Even Elder Ling Feng personally intervened, specifically naming Xiao Yan to put him on the Ancient Clan's blacklist.

However, faced with such a massive encirclement, Xun'er acted out of character. Instead of following the opinion of the clan elders, she insisted on returning Xiao Yan's spot to the clan elders.

Although the outcome was not as desired due to the clan leader's seclusion, this determination still alarmed the entire ancient clan, forcing Elder Lingfeng, who originally planned to directly suppress Xiao Yan, to change his mind and instead send Yang Hao and others to lead the vanguard.
It can be said that, in the eyes of the Black Annihilation Army and others, the most important factor in why Xiao Yan was not captured immediately was Xun'er.

Without Xun'er's protection, he would be utterly vulnerable!
"In the face of Yang Hao's provocation, that bastard not only dared not fight back, but also let an old servant show off his power. It is truly laughable."

The asura-like man spoke calmly, his words seemingly carrying a peculiar aversion to Xiao Yan.

"With someone like him who only knows how to rely on others to act tough, even if he enters the Heavenly Tomb, he will only tarnish Xiao Xuan's reputation."

"Gu Yao, don't forget how much Xun'er has taken care of him. If you want to marry Xun'er, you'll probably have to get his approval."

The man in silver armor, seemingly enjoying the spectacle, said with a playful tone, "If you ask me, it's just a spot in the Heavenly Tomb. Trading a spot for a wife isn't exactly a losing proposition."

Upon hearing the word "slot," Gu Yao's eyes grew even colder. He snorted, "The Heavenly Tomb slots have always been awarded to the most capable. I will personally remind him that the Heavenly Tomb now belongs to Gu, not Xiao."

"What if he insists on taking it?" the armored man asked with a smile. "Don't forget, that guy seems to have some connection with the Soul Clan."

Upon hearing this, the ancient demon's eyes flickered slightly, and he whispered, "Then let's kill them all together."

"The mere Soul Clan is utterly insignificant before the common leader of my eight clans."

"Who is the ruler of the eight clans? He's really arrogant."

"You heard what the person next to him said? This guy must be one of the Four Great Commanders, the Ancient Demon, right?"

In a secluded corner, dressed in blue robes and looking like a young master, Hunya was scrutinizing the two people on the mountain peak, making comments and exclaiming in disapproval.

Beside him, Hun Li closed his eyes and concentrated, as if the ancient demon's words had not bothered him at all.

"Have you seen enough?"

After an unknown amount of time, Hun Li frowned slightly and said impatiently, "Give me back the 'Hunting Order'."

"Hey, no rush, no rush. Miss and the Prince Consort aren't here yet, and even that coward Hunyu has been summoned for secret training. Aren't we allowed to relax a little?"

Soul Cliff infused his soul power into the token, constantly spying on the two people on the mountain peak, and casually gave a perfunctory reply.

Upon hearing this, Hun Li hesitated for a long time before finally exhaling a breath of stale air and coldly saying, "A bunch of idiots."

To be honest, it's a complete waste of talent to have them monitor the younger generation of the ancient clan.

I originally thought that once I arrived in the Ancient Realm, I would be met with an overwhelming blockade, but who would have thought that it would be these low-class people jumping around instead.

They didn't even know to use their soul power to shield their conversations. I wonder if that ancient demon was truly confident in itself, or if it simply hadn't considered that it might be being monitored.
Of course, blocking him didn't help.

Even though the two people present did not have the same soul power as Hun Yu and Hun Ruoruo, they had both reached the late stage of the Spirit Realm. It would have been effortless for them to see through the cultivation levels of Gu Yao and the others.
In other words, from the ancient demon's cultivation level and soul realm to the very underwear he was wearing, the two from Soul Cliff could easily see it if they wanted to.

"It seems that the reason why the prince consort is so disliked by that ancient demon, apart from his status as the commander of the Black Annihilation Army, is mainly because of the quota for the Heavenly Tomb."

Hunya withdrew his gaze and said with a smile.

"Those guys from the ancient clans seem to value loyalty and righteousness, but in reality, they're only interested in worldly fame and fortune. Their so-called revenge for their leader is just a pretense." Hun Li sneered. "If it weren't for the fact that their spot in the Heavenly Tomb was taken, why would they target Young Master like this?"

Unlike other small worlds, the flow of time in the Heavenly Tomb will be greatly slowed down.

One day in the outside world is equivalent to six days in the Heavenly Tomb.

For ancient races that grow stronger with age, this increase will undoubtedly be maximized.

It can be said that once the ancient cultivators emerge from the Heavenly Tomb, their personal strength will inevitably undergo a qualitative leap!
In this situation, if the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Tomb is lost, the ancient clan's prodigies will be overshadowed by others for the rest of their lives, never able to catch their breath.
And the ancient demon is precisely the one who will be replaced by Xiao Yan!
It's no wonder he harbored such deep hatred for Xiao Yan, even going so far as to attempt to kill him.

"They were more at ease taking the Xiao Clan's quota than anyone else, but now they're unwilling to give it back. Interesting, truly interesting!" Hun Ya seemed extremely interested, clapping his hands and laughing loudly, "My Hun Clan will never learn from them!"

"What, you're going to change your appearance?" Hun Li glanced at him slightly.

"No." Hunya smiled slightly, "I want to emulate Miss and be even more thoroughly wicked."

Hun Li: "." Before Hun Li could continue speaking, the token that had been silent suddenly emitted a light, and then transformed into a black mist-like barrier, completely enveloping the surroundings.

"what?!"

The sudden movement brought Hun Li back to his senses almost immediately, and he hurriedly looked in the direction of the token.

"This fluctuation."

Upon seeing this, Hunya's pupils contracted slightly, as if he had realized something. Suddenly, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he whispered, "It's Miss!"

The next moment, the token suddenly hummed, and a familiar, cold yet pleasant voice quietly resounded in the black mist.

"Have you gathered any information about the ancient tribes?"

Upon hearing this, Hun Li and Hun Ya immediately knelt on one knee and solemnly replied, "Reporting to Miss, I have collected information on all the young talents from various factions, including the mastermind behind Elder Ling Feng."

"Who goes there?" the girl's indifferent voice rang out again.

Hun Li and Hun Ya's eyes turned slightly cold as they whispered, "Half-Saint, Profound Realm!"

"As expected?"

The voice from within the black mist seemed to have a hint of amusement, "This old thing, who has survived for a thousand years by relying on the supernatural powers of the ancient clan, is truly capable of causing trouble."

"millennium?"

Upon hearing this, Hun Li seemed to realize something and couldn't help but ask, "You mean that the Half-Saint Tongxuan was also a person from a thousand years ago?"

"It was just a coincidence that I found out."

In the dim black mist, the girl raised her head slightly, revealing a small section of her smooth, snowy cheek, with an eerie smile. "He has been stuck in the same place for a full thousand years. If it weren't for Hun Miesheng finding out about him, I really wouldn't have imagined that this person would have any connection with the elders of the ancient clans from a thousand years ago."

"I just wonder what Xun'er will do to that old man after she finds out about this."

The girl's soft, gentle voice rang out, but it was like a death curse, causing the two people from Hunya, who were kneeling on the ground, to tremble violently. They suddenly raised their heads, their hearts filled with monstrous shock.

"Miss, you—"

"Didn't you all always hope to fight alongside that guy? You even called on the prince consort. What, now that things have come to this, you're all afraid?" The girl in the mist smiled.

Hun Li Hun Ya's heart pounded like a drum, his face was covered in cold sweat, but he dared not utter a single word in response.

He knew perfectly well that the prince consort was currently talking to that young lady from the ancient clan!
Even with Mo Yu watching over her, she was still with other women. Who knows what the young lady is feeling right now?

As for their previous claim of joining Xiao Yan's forces, it was nothing but a joke. If they dared to bring it up again in this kind of setting, they would probably be in serious danger.
Thinking of this, Hunya gave an awkward smile and trembled as he said, "Miss, don't worry. With Moyu watching over us, that ancient clan demoness will definitely not dare to do anything rash to the prince consort."

"."

Upon hearing this, the voice from within the black mist paused noticeably for a moment before regaining its previous coldness: "This matter has nothing to do with that guy."

I was just helping my sister resolve her inner conflict; she wouldn't get angry over such a small thing.

She's just a cousin, after all.

"Remember, always put the interests of my Soul Clan first."

The girl in the mist whispered coldly, "This operation is not only for the Xiao Clan, but also for my Soul Clan. Even Xiao Yan is just a part of my plan to reclaim the Heavenly Tomb."

Upon hearing this, Hun Li and Hun Ya not only remained calm, but also breathed a long sigh of relief.

It seems that, in her interactions with the prince consort, the young lady definitely has the upper hand.

The Soul Clan still holds a slight advantage over the Xiao Clan!
After a long silence, Hunya finally managed to regain his composure and asked, cupping his hands in greeting, "May I ask, Miss, about the coming-of-age ceremony?"

Given the conflict between the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan, aside from Xiao Yan, the Soul Clan is undoubtedly the one most likely to be challenged by the Ancient Clan's prodigy during the coming-of-age ceremony.

Now, with Hun Ruoruo hiding in the shadows and Hun Feng already dead, the two of them alone are probably not enough to hold the line.

"I have already considered the matter of the coming-of-age ceremony."

As soon as he finished speaking, the previously pervasive black mist suddenly began to expand rapidly.

The next moment, a figure hidden in the darkness stepped out across the path opened by the Soul Hunting Order.

"despair."

The moment his foot touched the ground, Hun Li Hun Ya's body seemed to instantly become uncontrollable, completely stiffening.

An aura of power originating from their bloodline began to spread rapidly through their bodies.

Upon seeing the figure before him, Hun Li's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "You, Hun Yu?!"

The man in the shadows slowly emerged, revealing a handsome face. Above his brow, a strange pattern drawn with blood was quietly shimmering with a seven-colored halo.

"By order of the young master, let us accompany the prince consort and turn the ancient clan upside down."

Today's chapters are a bit difficult to break into individual chapters, so I'll combine them into one update. It'll still be the equivalent of three chapters in length. The other chapter will be posted soon~
