People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 312 Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade
The disappearance of the Spirit Race was undoubtedly caused by the Soul Race in secret.

This also means that the Soul Clan's millennium plan was launched four or five years earlier than the original trajectory.

Following the Spirit Clan, the Stone Clan and the Medicine Clan are the Soul Clan's next targets!

Furthermore, changes will also occur within the Ancient, Thunder, and Flame clans!
Since the Soul Emperor has decided to take action, he will definitely employ multiple methods simultaneously.

"Are they missing, or are they all dead?" Cai Lin asked, looking over.

Although they seem to mean the same thing, they are actually quite different.

"Literally, the entire race has vanished, leaving no trace of the living or the dead. The entire Spirit Realm is empty, without a single person in sight. Even the millions of descendants of the Spirit Race have disappeared without a trace."

This is more terrifying than a normal annihilation, meaning that the strength of the person who did it is terrifyingly different from that of the Eldar.

Chen Xiao took a deep breath, tossed the jade slip into his storage ring, and then looked at his Dragon Emperor.

“Ziyan, our plan needs to be changed slightly. You take Elder Qingshan and Second Elder to the Old Dragon Emperor to wait for me. Cailin and I will go back to Zixiao Pavilion and then come to meet you to discuss the unification of the Ancient Dragon Clan.”

After Zi Yan refined the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, she reached the late stage of the Five-Star Dou Sheng realm. From that time on, the other three islands no longer posed a threat. Even if the Northern Dragon King were allowed to 'eat' the other two Dragon Kings as in the original trajectory, it would still be the same.

After all, Zi Yan not only has strength, but also the bloodline of the Dragon Emperor!
If Zi Yan were to use the methods of the Dragon Emperor lineage, and if the destructive power against human experts were 100,000, then the destructive power against those of the Ancient Dragon Clan whose bloodline was inferior to hers could reach 1 million!
Bloodline suppression never works out of reason.

The reason she hasn't taken the initiative to unify Dragon Island is that she wants to wait until the four islands converge in the void, then wipe out the other three islands in one fell swoop, making full use of the traitors' last value, and in this way, recalling the elders who have run away.

Another reason can be summed up in one word: laziness!

Since the four dragon islands have been drifting in the void and will converge every so often, why waste energy searching for them when they will come to us on their own?

Moreover, even if a dragon island is found, no one can guarantee that when that dragon island is destroyed, the news will be passed on, allowing the other two dragon kings to escape into the endless void with their people in advance.

Based on all of the above, Zi Yan finally put the matter aside.

Anyway, they didn't lack combat power for the time being.

"You mean the Soul Clan might attack us?"

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Zi Yan didn't joke around and looked quite serious.

Chen Xiao nodded: "It's not a possibility, it's inevitable. Back then, the Soul Palace destroyed the Xiao family but did not obtain the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade. The whereabouts of this Emperor Jade can be determined by a careful investigation. In fact, there are only a few possibilities. Xun'er and I both stayed in the Xiao family, so we will definitely be suspected."

"The reason they haven't made a move yet is twofold. First, in the eyes of the Soul Clan, the Purple Cloud Pavilion is too weak and can be attacked at any time. There's no need for the six ancient clans to be on guard for the sake of insignificant people like us."

"Furthermore, the Soul Clan is still unsure whether the last piece of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is in our hands or not."

"Now that the Soul Clan has already made a move against the Spirit Clan, they will definitely want to get their hands on all the Emperor Jade as soon as possible. In three to five years at most, they will definitely take action against us. Therefore, it is time for us to recall those elders who have left."

"Once Dragon Island is unified, we can send the people from Qifeng Mountain over. Then we will have no worries about the rear, and we can take the initiative. We can let these ancient races fight to the death. If the timing is right, we can even profit from it!"

Zi Yan nodded emphatically and replied, "Then let's go back to Dragon Island now!"

Without further delay, the three immediately set off towards the outside of the Void Thunder Pool.

Upon arriving at the outer edge of the Thunder Pool, Elder Mo was warming up his hands by refining pills.

Judging from the energy in the cauldron, it should be an eighth-grade pill.

"Chen Xiao, are you going back?"

Upon noticing that the three of them had come out together, Elder Mo opened his eyes and asked.

With his alchemy skills, refining an eighth-grade pill is just a warm-up for him. He can multitask for a short time without much impact.

Chen Xiao smiled helplessly, "I originally wanted to witness the grand occasion of the birth of the ninth-grade precious pill, but unfortunately, I have some trivial matters to attend to. Elder, you can stay here for now, no one will disturb you. By the way, the dean of Canaan Academy is also deep in the Thunder Pool. If he comes out after we leave, Elder, you don't need to worry."

In fact, given the speed at which Mang Tianchi refines the Black Demon Lightning, it might take a year and a half to finish, allowing him to advance to the Dou Sheng realm in one fell swoop.

Chen Xiao was just saying it casually.

"Alright, you don't need to worry about me. I will let you know once the precious pill is successfully refined."

The three men clasped their hands in a slight bow before leaving.

...

Qifeng Mountain, Zixiao Pavilion.

Cao Ying had already taken Dantang to Dragon Island. Chen Xiao, Zi Yan, and Cai Lin were also not there. Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin were still in seclusion. Now, the affairs of the pavilion were being handled by Elder Hai Bodong.

At this moment, inside the main hall, Hai Bodong had specially invited Venerable Tianhuo and others to greet a guest as a sign of respect.

Although this guest only possessed the strength of a Dou Zong, his identity was far from simple. He not only came from an ancient race but was also sent by Xun'er.

"Brother Ling said he had seen me before, and I believe he's not lying to me. But I really can't remember. Could Brother Ling give me a hint?"

During the conversation, Hai Bodong scratched his head, racking his brains but still couldn't remember when he had seen Ling Ying, so he could only speak up helplessly.

Ling Ying wasn't surprised at all and laughed, "Elder, just because I've seen you doesn't mean you've seen me. To be honest, back in the Jia Ma Empire, I was one of Miss's bodyguards, and I also helped Miss with some trivial matters on a daily basis."

“When we first arrived in the Jia Ma Empire, I investigated all the powerful figures with names and surnames, including you, Elder. Later, Pavilion Master Chen and Elder became acquainted and their bond deepened. After Miss left, I did not immediately return to the Ancient Clan, but stayed in the Northwest for a while longer.”

"In addition, my attribute is also quite special; it is the dark attribute."

Hai Bodong suddenly realized that it was a dark-attribute guard who was deliberately hiding; no wonder he had no recollection of him at all.

Knowing that Ling Ying had spent a long time in the Jia Ma Empire, the two had even more to talk about, and there was never a dull moment.

When Chen Xiao and Cai Lin returned, they were slightly surprised to see the main hall so lively.

"Pavilion Master!"

Upon seeing Chen Xiao and Cai Lin appear, the group stood up to greet them, and Ling Ying was no exception.

"Everyone, take a seat."

After He Cailin ascended to the main seat, Chen Xiao looked at Ling Ying and said, "Elder Ling, please tell me about the Spirit Clan."

Ling Ying nodded slightly before beginning her explanation.

It conveyed the same message as the one Chen Xiao received, only more detailed.

"The clan chief and the clan chiefs of the other clans have all personally gone to check, but they still haven't found a single clue. Now there are two different versions of the story within each clan."

"Most people believe that the Elven race was wiped out silently, while a small number of people think that the Elven race deceived everyone."

"Oh? How so?" Chen Xiao became somewhat interested.

"The Pavilion Master is aware of the current situation of the seven races, so those people guessed that the Spirit Race knew their own situation. As the weakest ancient race, they felt threatened, so they secretly made arrangements without telling anyone, and migrated the entire race to another self-created space to avoid being gradually devoured and swallowed up by the other races."

To be honest, if Chen Xiao hadn't been so well aware of the hidden secrets, he probably would have considered these possibilities as well. After all, the Bai clan of the False Heaven is a living example.

It's normal for a race to feel a sense of crisis and try to find a way out.

"That's roughly the situation with the Spirit Clan. In addition, Miss also asked me to personally hand this box and the invitation to the Pavilion Master."

Ling Ying took out an invitation and an exquisite wooden box from her storage ring.

The invitation needs no further explanation; it's merely an excuse for Ling Ying to go out.

The box seemed to be made of some kind of rare wood. Even with Chen Xiaotian's perfected soul power, he couldn't sense what was inside the box when it was placed right in front of him.

Chen Xiao casually set up a barrier that enveloped the entire hall before opening the wooden box.

"Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade..."

Looking at the irregularly shaped ancient jade lying quietly inside, Chen Xiao murmured softly.

This was actually the first time he had ever seen the Imperial Jade, but after hearing Ling Ying's words, he could guess what it was after a little thought.

Only the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is worthy of Xun'er's careful consideration.

As soon as I took out the ancient jade, a cool sensation immediately spread to my palm.

Playing with the ancient jade, Chen Xiao carefully considered its contents.

Xun'er knew about Zi Yan, her background, and was even more aware of how elusive and difficult to find Dragon Island was.

She currently keeps this imperial jade hidden in the ancient clan, and hasn't actually entrusted it to Chen Xiao for safekeeping.

After all, Xun'er hadn't even told Gu Yuan about the Xiao family's imperial jade, nor could she seek help from other elders.

"The young lady said that since the Pavilion Master has a close relationship with the Ancient Dragon Clan, it would be better for him to keep this item safe. In addition, the young lady also instructed that the Pavilion Master should not carry this item on his person."

Chen Xiao nodded gently, put the ancient jade back into the wooden box and closed it, then put it back into his storage ring.

It just so happens that he was planning to go to the Old Dragon Emperor's place. If he left this thing to the Old Dragon Emperor to guard, even if he didn't want to, the Soul Emperor would never be able to collect it all in his lifetime!
Chen Xiao chuckled unkindly and looked up, asking, "Did Elder Ling come alone this time?"

Ling Ying shook her head, then nodded: "Because of the changes in the Spirit Clan, all the clans have sent out many people to investigate. Miss put me in the Ancient Clan's team. After arriving in Zhongzhou, I found an excuse to leave. According to Miss, the more grand the trip, the easier it is to attract attention."

That makes perfect sense.

Ling Ying left the ancient clan alone; everyone could guess that he must have something on his mind.

It would be perfectly reasonable for them to come out with the ancient tribe's group.

As long as the ancient clan is delivered to Chen Xiao, even if Ling Ying's return makes some people suspicious, without evidence, it's all slander.

"Master, my mission is complete. I must return to report to Miss."

"Yes, please tell Xun'er that I am doing well here and there is nothing to worry about. I still have a few things to take care of, and I will head to the Ancient Clan after I finish them."

"Miss will be very happy to know. Don't worry, Master, I've remembered everything. Farewell, everyone!"

Ling Ying clasped her hands in a fist salute and strode quickly towards the outside of the hall.

After watching Ling Ying leave, Chen Xiao used his soul perception to probe the secret chamber.

After sensing the condition of Qinglin and Little Fairy Doctor, Chen Xiao came back to his senses and looked at Hai Bodong, saying, "Elder Hai, you should prepare yourselves during this time. Cailin and I are going to the Northwest. Qinglin will soon emerge from seclusion, and Xian'er will not be far behind. After they emerge from seclusion, most of the people in Zixiao Pavilion can move to Dragon Island together."

Hai Bodong understood Chen Xiao's meaning: not everyone would leave together.

Today, Zixiao Pavilion has nearly 10,000 members. With such a large number, it's natural that their character and loyalty will vary, which is absolutely unavoidable.

After all, people's hearts can change.

Therefore, this relocation is only to take those disciples and elders with high loyalty and great potential with them. The Zixiao Pavilion on Qifeng Mountain will still exist.

"I'll make arrangements right away!"

...

Northwest Continent, Canaan Academy.

Looking down at the inner court students hopping and running around below, Chen Xiao felt a little melancholy this time.

The scene of meeting Ziyan when I entered the inner courtyard is still vivid in my mind, but in the blink of an eye, I already have two daughters, and in another thirty months, I will be thirty years old!
Time flies, truly like sand slipping through your fingers, gone in the blink of an eye.

"Let's go. The old Dragon Emperor doesn't know anything about your affair with Zi Yan, so why are you panicking?"

"It's not that I'm afraid of him, it's just that I was suddenly reminded of the scene and felt that time was passing too quickly."

"Alright, I believe you."

Cai Lin curled her lips and raised her eyebrows, her tone full of teasing.

Chen Xiao was immediately annoyed. He glared at Cai Lin and, with a somewhat unconvinced look, landed on the ground first and headed towards the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

A hint of a smile flashed in Cai Lin's eyes, and she immediately followed closely behind, not allowing the two of them to grow apart.

The Heavenly Flame Refining Tower is located underground.

Despite the ever-changing world and turbulent times outside, this place remains enveloped in crimson, with a familiar, scorching heat emanating from it, seemingly unchanged in the slightest.

The two figures flashed and plunged straight into the scalding lava, continuing to go deeper in the direction they were heading.

When Chen Xiao and Cai Lin arrived at the strange space of the Ancient Emperor's Cave, Zi Yan, Elder Qingshan, and the Second Elder were already waiting there.

Perhaps because Zi Yan had broken through her strength bottleneck, the old dragon emperor was in an exceptionally good mood. His smile never stopped, and his gaze towards Zi Yan was filled with a sense of satisfaction and pride.

"uncle."

"Cai Lin greets the Old Dragon Emperor!"

Chen Xiao and Cai Lin walked forward side by side and greeted them.

The old Dragon Emperor's smile remained unchanged as he nodded slightly, his tone amiable: "We're all on the same side, so let's not stand on ceremony. Chen Xiao, I heard from Zi Yan that you're planning to deal with those evil dragons ahead of schedule?"

Chen Xiao nodded, and with a flick of his finger, he took out the wooden box containing the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from his storage ring.

He lifted the lid of the box, casually tossed the ancient jade inside to the old dragon emperor, and put the empty wooden box back into his storage ring. He said in a deep voice, "The Soul Clan can't hold back anymore and has already made a move against the Spirit Clan. We should also make preparations as soon as possible."

"Being prepared is always good. You can decide on this matter yourselves. With your current strength, it can be easily accomplished. What is this thing?"

"Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade".

Just five words were enough to make the old dragon emperor's smile come to an abrupt end. The moment he came to his senses, his eyes lit up and his whole being was filled with undisguised excitement!
