Battle Through the Heavens: Exceptional Comprehension, Becomes Emperor at Ten Years Old

Chapter 218 Ancient Sheep Cries for Help!

"Chieftain!"

Upon seeing Gu Yuan, who was in the lead, the three of them greeted him respectfully.

Gu Yuan nodded slightly, then looked at Jiahe and said, "These three are elders of my clan: Black Annihilation King Gu Lie, two of the Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan, Gu Dao, and Gu Feng!"

"This is a distinguished guest of the ancient clan, the Lord of the Imperial Prison, Jiahe!" Gu Yuan introduced to Gu Lie and the other two.

Gu Lie and the other two clasped their fists in greeting to Jia He, and Gu Yuan personally introduced him. They had not sensed the slightest aura from Jia He.

Gu Lie and his two companions knew that the young man before them was definitely stronger than them, which shocked them.

Jiahe returned the greeting, then smiled and said, "I have long heard of the Black Annihilation King and the Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan. Today I am truly honored to witness your magnificence!"

The elderly man with white hair and a youthful face, dressed in a blue robe, standing behind Gu Lie stroked his beard and chuckled, "Leading the Imperial Prison to slaughter the Soul Palace, young friend, your prowess is beyond our reach!"

Jiahe was also surprised that these old-timers knew about the massacre of the Soul Palace!

Jiahe said, "The Soul Palace has been running rampant in the Central Continent, infringing upon the interests of the Imperial Prison. Furthermore, it has a long-standing feud with the Pill Tower, which is allied with the Imperial Prison. Slaughtering the Soul Palace is what everyone wants!"

"The Soul Palace is backed by the Soul Clan and is incredibly powerful. It's truly astonishing that you were able to lead the Imperial Prison to rise to prominence in such a short time and even swallow up the Soul Palace in one fell swoop. I'm sure the Soul Clan is also paying attention to you. Young friend, you must be careful!" Gu Dao said.

Jiahe nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Elder Gu!"

"Alright, this isn't about catching up. We've come here today for something," Gu Yuan said from the side.

Gu Lie looked at Gu Yuan with a frown and asked, "May I ask what brings the clan leader here?"

Gu Yuan said softly, "There are rumors that a traitor has appeared within the ancestral hall, and their target may be the ancient jade within the hall!"

Gu Lie shook his head and said, "That's impossible. Everyone in the ancestral hall is an elder of our clan. Each of them has been trained by the sect for hundreds of years and is extremely loyal to the ancestral hall. There will be no traitors!"

Gu Dao also looked at Gu Yuan and said, "Yes, clan leader, a traitor has appeared in the ancestral hall. Could it be someone from the Soul Clan?"

Gu Yuan said, "It's not very clear right now. Let's summon all the elders in the ancestral hall, and everyone who has access to the ancient jade, to the main hall as well!"

Upon hearing Gu Yuan's words, Gu Lie clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Yes, clan leader, I'll take care of it immediately!"

Gu Lie turned and left. Gu Yuan looked at Jia He and said, "I hope what you said is true. If there really is a traitor among the elders of the Gu Clan, it means that the Soul Clan has been plotting for a long time, and it's definitely not just our Gu Clan; the other Dou Di families must be doing the same!"

Gu Dao and Gu Feng also realized that Gu Yuan's information came from Jia He.

Gu Dao suddenly asked, "If the Soul Clan could infiltrate the ancestral hall, such information would surely be a top secret of the Soul Clan. How did you come to know?"

Jiahe smiled and said, "It's something obtained through divination. I wonder if Elder Gu would believe it?"

Gu Dao asked with some confusion, "What kind of divination?"

"Just some petty tricks!" Gah said.

Seeing this, Gu Dao didn't ask any further questions, and then asked, "What are your thoughts on the relationship between Xiao Yan and Miss Xun'er?"

Jiahe glanced at the ancient road, then slowly said, "What opinion can I have? It's their private matter; it's not appropriate for me to interfere!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Dao and Gu Feng exchanged a smile. Gu Feng said, "Young friend, your words seem to be a dig at us!"

Gah smiled back, but said nothing.

Gu Yuan said at just the right moment, "Let's go, let's go to the main hall first!"

The four of them flew towards the main hall inside the ancestral hall.

Along the way, Jiahe sensed many subtle signs, and it was clear that the ancient tribes indeed valued their ancestral halls very much.

With the Black Annihilation King and the three immortals of the ancient clan, there are four powerful individuals above the Seven-Star Dou Sheng level. In addition, there are the elders guarding the ancestral hall, making a total of at least five Dou Sheng powerhouses.

The ancient clan's foundation is far superior to that of other ancient families. No wonder when Gu Yang made his move, even the Soul Emperor and the Void Devouring Flame personally came to support him!

Soon, Jiahe followed Gu Yuan into the main hall, which was brightly lit by candles. Some white jade soul tablets were placed on the high platform, making it look solemn and austere.

Before long, almost all the clan elders who guarded the ancestral hall had arrived inside the ancient temple.

Gu Yuan looked at Gu Lie and asked, "Have all the elders of the ancestral hall arrived?"

Gu Lie glanced around and said, "Almost everyone's here, but two elders are still staying with Tuoshe Gudiyu!"

"Which two?" Gu Yuan asked, frowning.

Gu Lie said, "Elders Gu Yang and Gu Xi."

Upon hearing the name Gu Yang, Jiahe smiled, but remained silent.

On the contrary, Gu Yuan looked at Gu Lie and said, "If I remember correctly, it seems like it's been a long time since I last saw Gu Yang, hasn't it?"

Gu Lie said, "Elder Gu Yang was seriously injured outside the Ancient Realm hundreds of years ago. Since then, he has lived in seclusion, guarding the ancestral hall and rarely contacting other members of the clan."

Gu Yuan asked in confusion, "Injured? Hundreds of years ago? How come I didn't know that?"

Gu Dao said to Gu Yuan, "Clan leader, that Gu Yang came to me when he was injured, and I treated his wounds. There were no other problems!"

Gu Yuan asked, "Who was Elder Gu Yang fighting when he was injured?"

Gu Lie said, "He seems to be an elder of the Soul Clan, whose strength is no less than Elder Gu Yang's, probably at the peak of a four-star Dou Sheng!"

Upon hearing Gu Lie's words, Gu Yuan's heart sank. He had been injured and had fought against an elder of the Soul Clan. How could this be such a coincidence?

"Summon Elder Gu Yang and Elder Gu Xi to the main hall immediately!" Gu Yuan said.

Gu Lie and Gu Dao also sensed something was amiss and bowed, saying, "Clan Chief, Gu Yang's strength has now reached the late stage of a five-star Dou Sheng, and Elder Gu Xi also has the strength of a three-star Dou Sheng. I will go with Black Annihilation King to prevent any unforeseen circumstances!"

Gu Yuan said, "Immediately seal off the Ancient Sacred Mountain Range. No one is allowed to enter or leave. I will go there myself to take a look!"

Then Gu Yuan's figure disappeared in the main hall, and Gu Lie and Gu Dao followed Gu Yuan toward the place where the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was enshrined.

Jiahe followed behind, watching the show. He wanted to see if the ancient sheep could take away the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade under these circumstances.

Meanwhile, in the palace guarding the ancient Tuoshe Emperor Jade, a sense of unease suddenly arose in Gu Yang's heart.

"Gu Xi, you stay here and keep watch. I'll be right back," Gu Yang said.

Gu Xi cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Elder Gu Yang, please proceed!"

Gu Yang hurriedly walked out of the hall and quickly returned to his room. Then, he formed a hand seal, and a black vortex appeared in front of him once again.

"What are you doing now?" The cold voice on the other end suddenly became impatient.

Gu Yang quickly said, "Chieftain, I suspect I've been exposed!"

The Soul Emperor immediately said coldly, "What did you say?"

"Just now, King Heiyan suddenly summoned all the ancestral hall elders to the ancient hall, saying that the clan leader had summoned them. We have been lying low in the ancestral hall for hundreds of years and have never seen Gu Yuan summon the ancestral hall elders before. This time, the summons is unusual because it is happening during the coming-of-age ceremony of the ancient clan!" Gu Yang said.

The Soul Emperor remained silent for a moment, then said, "Delay me for a while, and I will immediately summon the clan elders to the Ancient Clan."

Gu Yang was overjoyed and immediately said, "Thank you, Chieftain!"

After the black vortex disappeared, Gu Yang composed himself and prepared to head towards the ancient palace.
