Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 836 Finally Arriving at the Heavenly Tomb! (3k2, please continue reading!!)

Quota?

Upon hearing Hun Ruoruo's words, everyone on the field seemed to wake from a dream, and their gazes toward the ancient clan members were somewhat unnatural.

The sudden self-destruction of the Spirit Clan members was so bizarre and terrifying that they almost forgot that the only person who had foreseen their appearance was this unpredictable young master of the Soul Clan.

Could it be that the Spirit Clan and the Soul Clan are secretly working together to resist the Ancient Clan?!

Upon realizing this, everyone's expressions immediately became uneasy.

It should be noted that the Ancient Clan has always considered itself the leader of the eight clans. Even though other clans are wary of them, compared to the Soul Clan, the Ancient Clan's ambitions are indeed not that great.

But ever since this coming-of-age ceremony began, the other party's actions have been repeatedly shattering everyone's expectations—

Not only did they unilaterally break up the Xiao-Gu Alliance, but they also relentlessly suppressed Xiao Yan, who sought cooperation with the Soul Clan. Even the Spirit Clan, who had not yet joined, had their Heavenly Tomb slots relegated to their own clan members long ago.
These things seem unrelated, but when they happen one after another, they can't help but have their suspicions.

The ancient tribes developed too rapidly.

Since occupying the Xiao Realm, the power of the Ancient Clan has been developing rapidly and unstoppably. Even the number of Saint-level experts in the clan has reached a terrifying 108 under the blessing of the Ancient Clan's divine powers!

For example, the Tongxuan Saint, relying on the ancient clan's divine power nurtured for thousands of years, was even able to easily suppress Mang Tianchi, who was also a half-saint, which naturally shows his combat strength.

With such a strong foundation, coupled with the presence of a nine-star Dou Sheng peak expert from their clan, among all eight clans, perhaps only the declining Soul Clan could barely put up a fight.

After all, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Even though the Soul Clan suffered heavy losses, the Soul Emperor, as the strongest among them, did not perish. At least in terms of top-tier combat power, the ancient clans could not crush all living beings.

It's no wonder that the weakest of the Spirit Race would be the first to choose to align themselves with the Soul Race.

"I never imagined that there would be such a close relationship between the Spirit Race and the Nobles."

Huo Zhi stepped forward first. She took a deep breath and bowed solemnly to Hun Ruoruo: "After this Heavenly Tomb, I must report this matter to the clan leader."

"Never mind."

Hun Ruoruo frowned slightly, but did not stop them. She simply sighed casually and said lazily, "Now that the Spirit Clan has appeared, our clan can no longer hide the relationship between the two clans. But remember, this is a one-time exception."

"Thank you for your understanding, young master."

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and clasped his hands in thanks once again.

As a prodigy of the Yan Clan, she possesses remarkable talent, but she is still quite far from becoming the young master. Naturally, she dares not be too negligent in the face of the most powerful young master of the Soul Clan.

After Huo Zhi started, the other prodigies on the field also expressed their gratitude. Even the elders of relatively weaker clans like the Stone Clan had to take the initiative to step down and greet Hun Ruoruo with a smile and a fist salute.

Seeing this, Gu Shan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with barely suppressed murderous intent.

With his keen eyesight, how could he not see that the actions of everyone on the field were clearly a tacit support for the Soul Clan!

Of course, supporting the Soul Clan does not mean that they will actually join the Soul Clan's camp, but rather that they will use the current momentum to put pressure on the Ancient Clan.
The ancient tribe has incurred the wrath of the masses.

Upon realizing this, Gu Shan felt a tightness in his chest, so suffocating that he almost vomited blood.

Logically speaking, with the Spirit Clan absent and the Xiao Clan in decline, the Ancient Clan should have taken all the spots and used this opportunity to push the strength of the younger generation to its peak.

But now, not only has Xiao Yan taken back the Xiao Clan's quota, but even the remaining quota for the Spirit Clan has been ruined by the Soul Clan.

In other words, his ancient clan suffered a complete loss of face and even lost two commanders, but in the end he didn't gain a single thing. Instead, he was ostracized by the other seven clans!

How could he possibly accept this?!

"A junior member of the Soul Clan"

Gu Shan's eyes were bloodshot as he said coldly, word by word, "You may be able to deceive the other clans about what happened today, but you can never deceive the inner circle of my Gu Clan!"

"The whereabouts of the Spirit Race will one day be known by our ancient race—"

"enough!"

At that moment, a deep, angry shout suddenly rang out in my ears.

Following the gaze, one could see Gu Qingyang, who had been stopped earlier, now striding over with a gloomy expression, saying, "Elder Gu Shan, haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?!"

"Humph!"

When had Gu Shan ever been reprimanded by a junior? His face immediately turned extremely ugly, and he roared, "If it weren't for Gu Xun'er's constant obstruction, how could my Gu clan's spot have fallen into the hands of outsiders?"

"If it weren't for Miss's intervention, you would probably have already caused a great disaster!"

Gu Qingyang sneered and angrily rebuked, "Ask yourselves, if it weren't for Miss sacrificing her own dignity to salvage a shred of honor for our Gu clan at the coming-of-age ceremony, how could you and Tongxuan be standing here talking so casually, given the crimes you committed?!"

"You—" Upon hearing this, Gu Shan's face turned pale and then purple, almost bursting with embarrassment and anger.

He was naturally present at the coming-of-age ceremony as well, and was one of the Saint-level experts responsible for guarding the venue.

The reason he failed to appear was that he was suddenly struck by Hun Miesheng and sent flying tens of thousands of feet away. If it weren't for the protection of the clan's experts, he would probably have been seriously injured and on the verge of death long ago.

"Don't you understand yet?"

Gu Qingyang's eyes revealed deep disappointment as he transmitted his voice, "The only one who can contend with that young master of the Soul Clan is the young lady whom you all target."

"."

Gu Shan's face twitched suddenly, his eyes becoming completely clouded.

"If you are confident that you can wrest the Spirit Clan's quota from that Soul Clan's young master, you may do as you please. As for the slander that has been leveled against our clan, I hope you have sufficient reasons to explain to the clan leader."

Gu Qingyang's expression was cold, and he had lost all interest in talking to him. "I'm sorry, Qingyang will not keep you company any longer."

Having said that, Gu Qingyang, who was always the most polite, didn't even bother to bow. Instead, he turned and walked towards Gu Xun'er, who was silent like a bystander.

"Hey, old man, are you still going to argue or not?"

Seeing Gu Shan and Tong Xuan's dazed expressions, Hun Yu, who disliked gatherings of powerful individuals, finally lost his temper and shouted, "Time is precious! My young master doesn't have time to waste with you. Hurry up and make a decision!"

"Back then, my Soul Clan destroyed the Xiao Clan, and your Ancient Clan has been verbally and in writing condemning us for a thousand years. This time, we won't seek further revenge. As long as the Ancient Clan admits that what that Spirit Clan person said earlier is true, my Soul Clan will bestow this Spirit Clan Heavenly Tomb spot upon you. What do you say?"

Hearing Hun Yu's audacious words, everyone on the field had strange expressions. Even Hun Li and Hun Ya couldn't help but swallow hard, their foreheads covered in cold sweat.

Is it possible to say this?
If this Soul Jade were to truly go berserk, it might even surpass the power of the Soul Wind.
As expected, upon seeing Hun Yu's provocative expression, Gu Shan's body trembled violently. As a dignified half-saint, he dared not utter a single word.

The eight clans have been passed down for thousands of years, and there have been countless open and covert struggles among them, so this is nothing to worry about.

However, when it comes to the extermination of an entire clan, the implications are far, far different.

The reason why the Soul Clan was regarded as the common enemy of the six clans and targeted for a full thousand years was solely because they completely destroyed the Xiao Clan's heritage!
Such a crime is something that even the guild leader himself could not bear, let alone Gu Shan.

Extinction of the race—that's all it takes!

Gu Shan's eyes flashed wildly. After an unknown amount of time, his face suddenly turned ashen, and he said tremblingly, "This grudge, my Gu clan...accepts!"

"Speak louder, I couldn't hear you!" Hunyu cursed. "Are you even a half-saint? Your voice isn't even as loud as that ancient demon who hasn't even passed his seventh day since death!"

"."

Gu Shan gritted his teeth so hard they almost broke, and his voice slurred out, each word distinct from his throat, "This grudge... my Gu clan... accepts it!!"

"Our ancient clan will only accept two spots from the Heavenly Tomb. All other spots will be forfeited!!!"

Upon hearing the old man's hoarse roar, everyone present fell silent, showing no sympathy whatsoever. Meanwhile, the other three members of the ancient clan who had originally secured a spot turned pale, as if they had lost their parents.

The quota for the Heavenly Tomb has unimaginable benefits for the ancient clans' supernatural abilities. Losing this opportunity now undoubtedly means that they will never have the chance to catch up with Gu Qingyang and his companion again in this lifetime.

"hey-hey."

Hun Yu rushed forward in a flash, and under Xiao Yan's surprised gaze, he bowed and said with a fawning smile, "Young Master, Prince Consort, please go first?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was taken aback at first, and then realized that with the two slots from the Spirit Clan, apart from Hun Miesheng who could not participate, everyone else was qualified to enter the Heavenly Tomb!
That is
He glanced to the side and saw that Hun Li and Hun Ya, who were originally at the bottom, had somehow followed behind him and Hun Ruoruo, their attitude extremely respectful.

"Thank you for your kindness, young master."

The two spoke in devout voices.

At this point, they finally understood that all the quota settings had been planned by Hun Ruoruo as early as when the Gu War ended, and exactly as planned!
In other words, the number of Soul Clan members will be an unprecedented six!

Young Master, Prince Consort, Soul Jade, Soul Fierce, Soul Cliff, and...
As everyone's gaze turned to him, the usually taciturn Mo Yu, without anyone noticing, crossed the territory belonging to his faction and strode over.

As they passed the ancient mountain, its face ashen, Mo Yu slightly raised the corners of his mouth, a dark, demonic light flashing in his eyes.

“I remember you once said that I was nothing more than an old dog who served as a servant.”

Mo Yu's eyes were sinister as he laughed maniacally, "But unfortunately, the spots belonging to my Xiao Hun Alliance will not be given to you ancient clan trash, even if it's given to this old dog like me!"

Above the sky, dark clouds lingered, a few drops of rain arrived first, followed by a downpour that turned the entire sky into a thick, cold iron curtain.

Beneath the endless torrent, the vast gate suddenly opened, and twisted lightning cleaved through the oppressive darkness, like silver serpents dancing in ancient times. They summoned clouds and rain, commanded gales, and embraced the figures of the young man and woman at the head of the gate.

The two ignored all the rules and headed towards the Heavenly Tomb first.

But at this moment, in this vast ancient clan, all the saints looked down, yet not one dared to speak; only the demonic rain and ghostly laughter continued for a long time.
