My beloved disciple Yun Yun was forced to marry? I am the Return of the Killing God!

Chapter 163 Soul Emperor: It seems the plan needs to be moved up!

"Clan Chief Lei Ying..."

Yunyi made a shushing gesture.

Lei Ying understood immediately, and the two left the banquet hall...

“My Lei Clan’s bloodline testing is extremely rigorous. How could someone from the Soul Clan possibly…” Lei Ying said in a deep voice.

“That’s precisely why it’s even more terrifying!” Yunyi said softly, “The Soul Clan is skilled at infiltration; they must have laid this plan many years ago.”

"Brother Yun, do you have any clues?" Lei Ying's gaze sharpened.

Yunyi shook his head: "There are no clear clues, but one thing is certain: this Soul Clan spy must be someone with a special status!"

"Especially those who have had contact with the ancient imperial jade!"

Seeing Lei Ying's skepticism, Yun Yi's eyes darted around as he continued, "Brother Lei, think carefully, is there any elder or high-ranking member who showed any unusual behavior when breaking through to a higher realm?"

Lei Ying's pupils contracted slightly as he recalled the elders who had broken through to higher levels in recent years.

After a moment, Lei Ying suddenly spoke up: "Two years ago, there was indeed an elder who, when breaking through to the sixth-star Dou Sheng realm..."

After a pause, Lei Ying continued, "There seemed to be a wisp of black energy in the lightning around him. At the time, I thought I was seeing things."

The two exchanged a glance, and Yunyi narrowed his eyes slightly: "As expected, even if the Soul Clan members switch to cultivating lightning techniques, they still cannot conceal their original aura when breaking through to a higher realm."

Lei Ying frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.

"This elder is named Lei Shan. He is in charge of the ancestral land's restrictions and is also one of the three elders responsible for the daily inspection of the ancient jade."

"If he is truly a member of the Soul Clan, then the consequences..."

Patting Lei Ying on the shoulder, Yun Yi said softly, "It's best not to make this public for now. Let's investigate secretly first."

Lei Ying nodded: "Brother Yun, how about we go and take a look together tomorrow?"

"Um…"

The next day, Lei Ying and his companion arrived at their usual training ground on Lei Mountain, concealing their presence early on and observing quietly.

Before long, Lei Shan arrived, sitting cross-legged as usual, his hands forming a mudra, his body surrounded by lightning that illuminated his solemn face…

As his cultivation deepened, Lei Shan's face twitched slightly.

Just then, a faint wisp of black energy flashed across the silver lightning arcs surrounding him before disappearing.

"There's definitely something wrong!" Lei Ying transmitted his voice, a murderous intent rising in his eyes.

Yunyi pressed down on his arm and shook his head slightly: "Wait a little longer."

……

As midnight approached, Lei Shan, who had been cultivating all day, suddenly opened his eyes and warily scanned his surroundings.

After confirming that no one was around, he took out a jet-black jade slip from his pocket and crushed it with his fingertips.

"Crack..."

A wisp of black mist seeped out from the jade slip and, like a living thing, burrowed into Lei Shan's body.

"Harmonizing Yin energy?" Yunyi narrowed his eyes. "He's... suppressing the backlash from his soul!"

It turns out that if a member of the Soul Clan practices the techniques of another clan, their soul will clash with their battle qi, and they must periodically use the Soul Clan's secret techniques to suppress it.

Without further hesitation, Lei Ying took a step forward, and lightning surged around him.

"Leishan!"

Lei Shan turned around abruptly and saw Lei Ying and Yun Yi appear; his expression changed drastically.

He quickly regained his composure and said, "Clan leader, is there something you need to do here so late at night?"

Lei Ying sneered, "Shouldn't you be called Soul Mountain?"

His pupils suddenly contracted, and Lei Shan said with feigned calmness, "Clan leader, I am... a member of the Lei clan. I don't know anything about Soul Mountain."

"You use that thing to suppress your soul every now and then, right?" Lei Ying shouted when he saw Lei Shan still pretending to be confused.

Hun Shan looked at Lei Ying and the other person, his eyelids twitching a few times.

He sighed softly and said, "Alas, after two hundred years, we've still been discovered."

"That's right, I am indeed a member of the Soul Clan!"

"I want to know, how did you pass the bloodline test of my clan?" Seeing that Hun Shan confessed without hesitation, Lei Ying took a deep breath. "From the time I was born, Hun Tiandi personally used a secret method to modify my body."

"Now I have the true bloodline of the Thunder Clan flowing through my body, but my soul is a pure Soul Clan soul."

"It's normal that bloodline tests can't detect it!"

Hunshan revealed a strange smile and said with relief.

Enraged, Lei Ying laughed and shouted, "What a Soul Emperor! He's been plotting for two hundred years to infiltrate my clan!"

"Brother Lei, quickly subdue him and see if you can find any other clues!" Yunyi suddenly spoke up.

Before he finished speaking, Lei Ying immediately took action.

He suddenly appeared and made a decisive move.

However, before Lei Ying could get close, Hun Shan's body trembled violently, and he made strange noises.

"Trying to self-destruct?" Lei Ying sneered, conjuring a dazzling bolt of lightning in his right hand and blasting it towards Soul Mountain's dantian.

"boom!"

Soul Mountain was sent flying backward, his dantian pierced directly by lightning!

A muffled thud came from Lei Shan's body, and the expanding energy suddenly stopped.

Hunshan let out a miserable cry, his aura instantly weakened to the extreme, and he finally collapsed to the ground.

Lei Ying stepped forward and grabbed him by the throat: "Speak! Does my clan have any more of your accomplices?"

Blood trickled from the corner of Hunshan's mouth, yet he revealed a crazed smile.

"So what if you kill me? You can't stop me! Hahaha..."

Before the laughter subsided, his body suddenly convulsed violently, and a large amount of black blood gushed from his seven orifices. He died instantly.

“A secret poison of the Soul Clan…” Yunyi shook his head after examining him and said, “He had already planted a restriction in his body, so that he would immediately commit suicide once it was exposed!”

Lei Ying's face was gloomy. He waved his hand and unleashed a bolt of lightning, annihilating the corpse of Hun Shan into ashes.

"Brother Yun, I am very grateful for your information this time."

Lei Ying took out a spatial jade slip and handed it to Yun Yi: "If you need anything in the future, just crush this jade slip and I will do my best to help you."

Yunyi put away the jade slip and smiled slightly: "Brother Lei is indeed generous. I will definitely call you if I need anything!"

"I will not stay any longer and will leave tomorrow."

Lei Ying cupped his hands in greeting to Yun Yi: "Brother Yun has other matters to attend to, so I will not linger any longer."

After Yunyi and the other two left, the Lei Clan members got busy.

Lei Ying was furious because of Soul Mountain.

He didn't want any more members of the Soul Clan to infiltrate the clan!
Lei Ying ordered that the entire clan undergo a new bloodline test!
……

Soul clan.

Inside the dimly lit hall, an elder of the Soul Clan knelt on one knee and said in a low voice, "Clan leader, at midnight today, the Soul Tablet of Soul Mountain... shattered!"

The Soul Emperor slowly opened his eyes, a hint of coldness swirling in his pupils.

"Oh?"

A chillingly calm voice rang out, "Lei Ying... I underestimated him!"

The Soul Clan elder, cold sweat beading on his forehead, continued, "There might be more to this than meets the eye. Should we send someone to investigate?"

The Soul Emperor raised a slight corner of his lips, revealing a cold smile: "No need. Just a pawn. If it's ruined, it's ruined."

The Soul Clan elder trembled slightly. "Then the clan leader means..."

"Let the pawns of other families continue to lie low."

"I'd like to see how many they can find."

The Soul Emperor's eyes were deep and his voice was low as he spoke.

He didn't expect that the pawn he had planted would be discovered in advance.

"Looks like we'll have to move the plan forward!"
