Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

"Now the Yan Clan has rekindled its ambitions, sending the Red Sky Merchant Guild to establish a force called the Nine Abyss Prefecture in the Northwest Continent, mainly selling fighting weapons and some pills."

"How should the subordinate respond?"

When the old general of the Three Serpents reported the information, he spoke with great certainty, as if he had witnessed it all himself.

First, he can be certain that "Eagle Protector" did not lie to him, so at least 70% of the intelligence the latter has gathered is true, and the possibility of him being wrong is very low.

Even if his guess was wrong, there are only a few forces on this continent that dare to confront the Soul Palace. It is a fact that Zhang Yuan of the Nine Abyss Prefecture is not afraid of the Soul Palace. Saying that he is related to the Yan Clan is no different from saying that he is related to other clans.

In short, all the higher-ups wanted was a definite confirmation of the Annihilation Saint's fall, and now he has not only provided that confirmation, but has given an answer that goes beyond expectations. The higher-ups must reward him accordingly.

Regardless of whether the higher-ups ultimately decide to confront the Nine Abyss Mansion or to make the operations within the palace more secretive, it's all good for him—it means gaining more resources or having greater security in his actions.

"Northwest Continent, Yan Clan, Crimson Sky Merchant Guild, Nine Abyss Prefecture, Strange Flame"

A sinister light flashed in Mo Yu's eyes, piercing through the space in front of him, revealing the turmoil in his heart.

As a Seven-Star Dou Zun, he knew more than the Three Serpent Elders.

It's entirely possible that the Yan Clan would make moves in the Northwest Continent.

The clan's plan has progressed to its final, crucial stage and must not be exposed.

Although the Flame Clan is not as strong as the Soul Clan, they possess four or five different kinds of strange flames and are extremely skilled in combat, so they should not be underestimated.

Furthermore, the Yan Clan is extremely skilled in formations, and if they discover anything, it could lead to unforeseen problems.

Thinking of this, Mo Yu said, "Hehe, this news is very important. I will contact the higher-ups immediately. You can wait to be rewarded."

"While waiting, reduce some of the tasks assigned to your Northwest Continent branch, and try to act discreetly, avoiding confrontation with the Nine Abyss Palace."

Upon hearing this, the Three Serpent Elder knew he had made the right bet and immediately said, "I will obey the Heavenly Venerable's command."

Space shattered, and the Three Serpent Elder, clutching the fragments of the jade pendant in his hand, couldn't help but want to burst into laughter.

If his contribution in accidentally discovering the "Yan Clan Operation" and preventing the "Yan Clan from discovering the Soul Palace Plan" is realized, his strength will definitely improve further, and at that time, he might be able to take the position of the branch hall master.

At the same time, after careful consideration, the Nine Heavens Venerable Demon Rain took out a scroll, tore it apart, and a huge and deep spatial passage immediately appeared in front of him.

He took a step forward, simultaneously using the power of space, and in the next moment he arrived in front of a huge palace, as if looking at a giant ancient magical beast lying prostrate.

Entering the branch hall, Mo Yu laughed and said, "Hehehe, big brother, your little brother has come to give you credit."

boom!

Inside the main hall, a terrifying being awakens, causing the void to vanish and be reborn with the opening of its eyes, as if it can create a space filled with gale-force winds that can easily tear apart even space itself.

"Mo Yu, I've told you several times, you should call me Third Brother." The terrifying being spoke, his eyes, which inspired awe, contained a trace of affection that had not been extinguished.

His name is Mo Feng. He is one of the three Heavenly Venerables of the Soul Hall, a newly ascended Half-Saint. He assists the Vice Hall Master of the Soul Hall in handling affairs in the Heavenly Hall and Earthly Hall, but he is not the Vice Hall Master of the Earthly Hall.

"What third brother? You are the eldest brother." Mo Yu sneered, "Once you break through to the Dou Sheng realm, you will surpass the Second Heavenly Venerable, and it is not impossible for you to even replace the Great Heavenly Venerable."

Mo Feng and Mo Yu are brothers, but after joining the Soul Palace and becoming one of the Nine Heavenly Venerables, they were re-ranked according to their strength and realm, and are now the third and ninth respectively.

"Enough of that. What do you want with me?" Mo Feng was confident in becoming a Dou Sheng, so he didn't dwell on the issue of titles and said, "Tell me about your achievements?"

“That’s right!” Mo Yu nodded and said, “Brother, you also know about the fall of the Annihilation Saint. He was a member of the Soul Clan, which is different from us outsiders. I secretly sent people to the Northwest Continent to investigate.”

"You would never guess that the Xuanhuang Saint was actually a member of the Yan Clan. Back then, the Yan Clan saw that the Soul Clan and the Xiao Clan were both severely weakened, and they were also wary of the other clans, so they sent this mediocre half-saint to the Northwest Continent to establish the Xuanhuang Sect, hoping to bring you back into their clan."

"When Hun Mieyan went to the Northwest Continent, he discovered the identity of the Xuanhuang Saint. The two of them perished together. The Xuanhuang Saint used a strange fire to suppress Hun Mieyan's soul. Not long ago, a thousand years later, the two of them could not withstand it and perished together."

"The Yan Clan also received the news, which is why the Red Sky Chamber of Commerce sent people to establish a force called the Nine Abyss Prefecture, once again setting their sights on the Northwest Continent."

"We have to be careful, or the Yan Clan will find out what we're doing!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Feng finally understood what Mo Yu meant by "merit".

The Yan Clan's dispatch of people to establish influence in the Northwest Continent may very well have inadvertently discovered the Soul Palace's activities.

After all, the Northwest Continent is not like the Central Continent. Their Soul Palace has Earthly Fiend Halls guarding every key place in the Central Continent, and ordinary branch halls can be destroyed and rebuilt if they encounter danger, and can also hide the matter of the formation.

In the Northwest Continent, there is only one branch hall for the sake of secrecy, but there are dozens of array points that need to be managed, which could easily be overlooked.

Now that we know the Yan Clan has designs on the Northwest Continent, we naturally need to make preparations as soon as possible; this is indeed a great achievement.

"Wait a moment, I'll report it."

After pondering for a moment, Mo Feng took out a jade pendant and infused it with immense battle qi.

The next moment, a beam of light shot out from the jade tablet, transforming into a majestic figure as tall as a mountain, yet still capable of crushing the entire city's dark clouds.

"Mo Feng, you should know what you will face for disturbing my seclusion without cause!" A cold voice came, making both Mo Feng and Mo Yu feel the danger of death.

It was just a single figure, yet it gave them a sense of danger, as if it could crush them at any moment.

"Hehe, your subordinate would naturally not dare to trouble the Palace Master with such a trivial matter." Mo Feng clasped his hands and said, "Palace Master, Lao Jiu followed my instructions and sent people to the Northwest Continent to investigate the fall of Lord Hun Mieyan. They discovered that the former Xuanhuang Saint was a member of the Yan Clan. The two sealed each other and fell together not long ago. The Yan Clan has also sent people to investigate."

"Not only that, the Yan Clan has sent people from the Red Sky Chamber of Commerce to create a force called the Nine Abyss Mansion, preparing to re-establish themselves in the Northwest Continent. We must be wary of all of this."

Mo Feng knew that Hun Mieyan and Hun Miesheng were brothers of the same clan and generation. It was said that Hun Mieyan had helped Hun Miesheng, who had just come of age, with a small favor, so they had some connection.

The Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array was a formation that the Soul Palace had been setting up. Although even the dignified Three Heavenly Venerable did not know what the Soul Clan was planning, he knew that this formation could not be exposed.

If the message is told to the Palace Master Hun Miesheng, it will surely attract his attention.

Indeed, Hun Miesheng's eyes narrowed, and it seemed as if a space behind him shattered. He said calmly, "Back then, when our clan dealt with the Xiao clan, apart from Gu Yuan's attempt to deal with the clan leader being stopped by Lord Tun Yan, all the imperial clans, including the Gu clan, had their own ulterior motives and did not take action."

"I never imagined that the Yan Clan would secretly send people to develop in the Northwest Continent, thinking that if my Soul Clan destroyed the Xiao Clan, they could take back all their territory?"

With every gesture, he exuded an aura that could alter space. Hun Miesheng nodded and said, "You did a good job in investigating this information. When I return from the clan, I will reward you."

After speaking, Hun Miesheng teleported through the void and returned to the Soul Clan's Soul Realm a few breaths later.

As the Lord of the Soul Hall, and someone who could potentially reach the strength of a five-star Dou Sheng at any time, he held a high position within the clan.

After the aura of a Dou Sheng rippled, many Dou Sheng who had been in seclusion awoke, their eyes filled with a sense of inquiry.

Soul Extinction reported the information obtained to the Soul Emperor's clone.

"Yan Clan, Northwest Continent"

The Soul Emperor resembled an ordinary scholar, a hint of reminiscence flickering in his usually calm eyes.

Only he knew how much he feared Xiao Xuan back then, which is why he didn't hesitate to attack when Xiao Xuan was trying to become a Dou Di.

To this end, he even used the spies planted within the major imperial clans to persuade each clan not to take action, especially the ancient clans.

In the end, the ancient clan did not make a move, but Gu Yuan and Xiao Xuan had a close relationship and attacked him. It was only the Void Devouring Flame that intervened and blocked the attack, thus inflicting serious injuries. He has been recuperating for a thousand years and has not yet fully recovered.

He wasn't surprised at all that the Yan Clan had designs on the Northwest Continent, after all, that place had a Fire Vein Array, a paradise for fire-attribute cultivators.

"Clan leader, this elder believes we can strike a blow against the Yan Clan, so they won't have the mind to keep an eye on the Northwest Continent," said a Dou Sheng elder.

After so many years of recuperation, the Soul Clan could easily take some dirty tricks on the Flame Clan.

For example, it caused the Hongtian Chamber of Commerce to suffer heavy losses.

The Soul Emperor did not refute, but instead said softly, "Void, what do you think?"

Chapter 164 Unexpected windfall! This is Zhang Yuan of the Soul Palace, hehehehe

"boom!"

As the Soul Emperor's calm voice faded, a huge crack appeared in the dark hall.

Suddenly, a patch of black flame appeared, slowly writhing and finally coalescing into a human figure. The figure was surrounded by black flames and strange black runes. Its eyes were pitch black, like black holes that devoured everything, filled with a terrifying power that could devour everything.

He stood on black flames, and an extremely ancient and eerie aura emanated from his body, as if he were a demon god incarnate, capable of devouring the heavens and the earth, and omnipotent.

Upon seeing him, all the elders and Hun Miesheng present bowed respectfully, their eyes filled with fervor: "Lord Tun Yan."

In the hearts of these high-ranking members of the Soul Clan, the status of Void Devouring Flame was no lower than that of the Soul Emperor, and even slightly higher.

The clan leader is indeed the pillar of their Soul Clan, but he is not indispensable. The weaker Medicine Clan, Stone Clan, and Spirit Clan are still thriving.

After obtaining the power of the Devouring Spirit Clan's patriarch, the Void Devouring Flame can help them continuously devour the bloodlines of the Dou Di on the continent and nourish them in return, which is the foundation for the Soul Clan's continued existence.

“No rush.” The Void Devouring Flame spoke in a hoarse voice, “It won’t be long before I take that step. At that time, I can start the plan to seal the world, exterminate the race, and devour spirits.”

"Going against the Yan Clan now will attract the attention of all other clans, which is not a good thing."

The Void Devouring Flame let out a "heh heh" laugh.

The elders were all excited, knowing that the step the Void Devouring Flame mentioned was to achieve the soul of an Emperor Realm expert.

Once the Void Devouring Flame successfully acquires an Emperor-level soul, the Soul Clan will have a chance of winning against the Ancient Clan, since the Soul Emperor can go toe-to-toe with Gu Yuan.

The Void Devouring Flame can then lead them in a rampage of slaughter.

They were in charge of "hehehe," while Void Devouring Flame was in charge of indiscriminate killing.

"Can we retrieve the remains of Soul Annihilation?" Void Devouring Flame looked at Soul Annihilation, who had a wisp of his fire within him, so their relationship was fairly close.

"The people below say the body has been destroyed, and the soul has just perished," Hun Miesheng replied.

"What a pity," Void Devouring Flame said indifferently, "Once I emerge from seclusion, we can deal with the Flame Clan first."

As he spoke, a burning intensity appeared in his eyes.

According to the original plan of the Soul Clan, the plan to exterminate the clan and extract blood would proceed one by one from the weakest, with the Flame Clan being the fastest to rank fourth.

But then he suddenly remembered that the Yan Clan possessed many strange flames, which could also be a source of nourishment for him. After consuming them, he might be able to reach the mid-stage or even late-stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm.

"Then let it be the Yan Clan," the Soul Emperor said calmly. "Even if it sees something, it will disappear silently."

The group immediately began to discuss the matter.

After discussion, it was decided that Hun Miesheng would reward the Three Heavens Venerable, saying that he had done a good job and could enter the Soul Clan's Blood Pool once, where the pure energy could help him stabilize his realm and take the next step sooner.

The Three Heavenly Venerables obtained an eighth-grade, five-colored pill, the Profound Beginning Pill, for the Nine Heavenly Venerables. This pill could increase a Dou Zun's strength by one star, and each Dou Zun could only take it once.

The Nine Heavens Venerable had already taken the pill, so he rewarded the Three Serpent Venerable Elder with it, but in return, he received some merit points from the Soul Palace's internal transactions, which would be useful for exchanging for better items later.

Upon receiving the message, the Three Serpent Elder immediately prepared to travel to Zhongzhou to retrieve the elixir, but he did not forget to have someone summon the "Eagle Protector" to reward him.

In this back and forth, Zhang Yuan had been controlling the Eagle Protector's body in the Soul Palace for seven days.

"Hehehe, orders have come from above to prolong the expansion of the Nine Abyss Prefecture as much as possible, but to avoid direct conflict as much as possible, and to remove several formations within the Nine Abyss Prefecture's sphere of influence," said Elder Three Serpents.

"Yes, sir," Zhang Yuan said, somewhat aggrieved.

The Three Serpent Venerable Elder saw this scene and suddenly took out a jade bottle, saying, "You have completed the mission well. This is a Grade 7 High-Grade Pure Origin Venerable Pill, which can increase the chance of a peak Dou Zong breaking through to Dou Zun by 30%. If you take it now, you can immediately recover from your injuries and return to the peak Dou Zong level."

"In the future, when attempting to break through to the Dou Zun level, the success rate will be 10% higher than that of a typical peak Dou Zong."
