The unusual movement of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade caused the Soul Emperor, who was in seclusion, to suddenly open his eyes.

The Soul Emperor frowned, and with a flick of his wrist, a strangely shaped ancient jade appeared in his palm.

This ancient jade, which has been silent for countless years, is now emitting a faint light.

"The Jade Emperor sensed something; could it be that someone has touched upon the legacy of the ancient Emperor Tuoshe?"

The Soul Emperor muttered to himself in a low voice, a hint of surprise and an uncontrollable burning desire flashing in his eyes.

He had studied this jade for many years and knew that it would only react in this way if the seal of the ancient emperor's cave was touched or if someone tried to open it using a special method.

"Strange, the ancient clans have not made any unusual moves recently, and the other clans have not done anything unusual either. Who could have triggered the seal of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's legacy?"

With a thought, the Soul Emperor sent out a soul message from his palm.

Before long, the space inside the hall distorted, and a strange black flame appeared out of thin air.

As the black flames writhed, a figure dressed in a black robe suddenly materialized.

It was none other than the Void Devouring Flame, ranked second on the Strange Flame Ranking.

"What do you want from me?"

Void Devouring Flame looked at Soul Emperor and asked.

His voice sounded very hoarse, as if someone was choking him.

"The lineage of Emperor Tuoshegu may have changed."

The Soul Emperor didn't say much, but simply tossed the still slightly vibrating Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade to the Void Devouring Flame.

Upon seeing this, the expression on Void Devouring Flame's face shifted momentarily: "It really is... Could it be that old bastard Gu Yuan who did it..."

"not him."

The Soul Emperor shook his head thoughtfully, then continued, "My people have been keeping an eye on the Ancient Realm. They haven't taken any action recently, and the other families are doing the same."

A look of doubt appeared in Void Devouring Flame's eyes: "If it's not one of the eight ancient clans, then who could it be? Could it be that there are forces in this world that we don't know about that have mastered the method to open the cave?"

The Soul Emperor's eyes flickered: "Soul Extinction should know the most about the affairs of the Central Plains. Let's go to the Soul Palace and ask him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figures of Soul Emperor and Void Devouring Flame vanished from the main hall.

……

Soul Palace.

Deep within the main hall.

A secret room shrouded in a dense spiritual energy.

Soul Palace Master Soul Extinction was sitting cross-legged here, engaging in deep cultivation.

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat as an indescribable, terrifying pressure descended, forcibly waking him from his cultivation state.

Hun Miesheng suddenly opened his eyes and saw that in the center of the secret room, the space rippled like water, and two figures silently stepped out.

One of them was dressed in gray and white clothes. His face was handsome but had a hint of sinister intent. His eyes were calm, but they seemed to contain the majesty to control the life and death of all living beings. He was none other than the patriarch of the Soul Clan, the Soul Emperor!

The other person was completely shrouded in a black robe, with terrifying black flames dancing around him. His aura was strange and powerful; he was none other than Void Devouring Flame!

"Clan...Clan Chief! Lord Void!"

Hun Miesheng was so frightened that his soul almost left his body, and he hurriedly bowed in respect. He was extremely horrified. For many years, the clan leader had been in seclusion within the clan, trying to repair the hidden injuries left by the great battle with Xiao Xuan. He had never easily left the Soul Clan's territory. Why would he come to his Soul Palace today with Lord Void Devouring Flame?
What earth-shattering event has occurred?

Ignoring Hun Miesheng's fear, the Soul Emperor spoke directly: "Hun Miesheng, have there been any unusual events in Zhongzhou recently?"

Soul Extinction was shaken to his core, his mind racing. Daring not to conceal anything, he hurriedly replied, "Reporting to the clan leader, the Central Continent has been relatively peaceful recently. We have been monitoring the Pill Tower, and have not detected any unusual activity. The same is true for the Flower Sect..."

Hun Miesheng carefully recalled the events, afraid of missing any details.

However, as he was talking, he suddenly remembered something important and quickly added, "By the way, clan leader, speaking of unusual things... there were some strange movements at Starfall Pavilion a while ago. Feng Xian secretly mobilized a large number of elite disciples and resources from the pavilion and left Zhongzhou in batches, as if he planned to move the foundation of Starfall Pavilion out of Zhongzhou."

Although Feng Xian's relocation of the Starfall Pavilion was done in great secrecy, it did not escape the notice of the Soul Palace.

However, the Soul Emperor did not take this matter to heart.

Feng Xian was merely a Dou Zun, no different from an ant in his eyes.

The slightest movement of an ant could not arouse his interest at all.

"Besides the Starfall Pavilion, there is another matter."

At this moment, Hun Miesheng continued to report: "Recently, there have been some rumors in Zhongzhou that Yao Chen, who was confirmed to have perished back then, has been resurrected. Moreover, he is recruiting alchemists widely under the name of the former Yao Venerable, making quite a splash. It seems that he is setting up his own faction and challenging the Pill Tower. I have sent Mu Gu to investigate the truth of this matter, and I believe that there will be definite news soon."

"Medicine dust?"

The Soul Emperor softly repeated the name.

He did have some impression of this Medicine Master.

However, he remembered that the other party's cultivation level was not high; even at its peak, it was only a Nine-Turn Dou Zun.

Normally, he wouldn't care at all whether such a person lives or dies.

However, at this moment, Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade showed unusual activity, and he was alert to any unusual clues.

The relocation of the Starfall Pavilion, Yao Chen's "resurrection" and high-profile appearance...

These two things might not seem like much on their own!
However, putting them together, especially at this sensitive time, seems a bit strange.

Moreover, it seems that the Medicine Venerable once stayed at the Starfall Pavilion...

"Yao Chen? I'll go and meet him myself and see what secrets his 'resurrection' holds!"

After giving a cold snort, the Soul Emperor prepared to set off for the Starfall Pavilion to find out what was going on.

But at that moment, the Void Devouring Flame, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Wait a minute."

The Soul Emperor turned to look at him: "What? Are you also interested in that Yao Chen?"

The Void Devouring Flame chuckled: "A mere Dou Zun is not worthy of my attention. I just wonder if the unusual movement of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is related to the Xiao Clan?"

Upon hearing the words "Xiao Clan," the Soul Emperor's brows furrowed deeply.

He stared intently at the Void Devouring Flame and asked, "Why do you have this doubt?"

The Void Devouring Flame sneered, "The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was divided into eight parts back then, each controlled by one of the eight ancient families. Now, the other six families are under our surveillance, except for the Xiao family. The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is the only key to the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Cave. Now that the seal of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Cave has been triggered, could it be the work of the Xiao family?"

The Soul Emperor pondered, "What you say makes sense. Although the Xiao Clan has declined, they are still of Dou Di blood. It seems we must go to the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Cave to investigate. If this was indeed done by someone from the Xiao Clan, then we'll be in trouble..."
