Chapter 61, Part 062: Gu Yuan's Scheme, the Deception and Intrigue Among Imperial Clans!

"What?"

"Xiao Xuan, the Xiao clan's patriarch who was once the closest to the Emperor Realm, whose talent was so astonishing it drove people to despair?"

"Is it Xiao Xuan, the one who once tried to break through to the Dou Di realm, exhausted the Xiao clan's Dou Di bloodline, and was besieged and killed by the Soul Clan, leading to the Xiao clan's downfall?!"

Hearing the name Xiao Xuan again,

The heads of the various imperial clans felt as if thunder had exploded in their minds.

They did so without prior arrangement.

Thinking of that once incredibly talented and dominant Xiao clan's supreme expert!

That peerless genius who came closest to the imperial family in ten thousand years!

perhaps,

It is precisely because that Xiao Clan's strongest expert was too talented and too arrogant that the Xiao Clan is in its current state.

As the saying goes, things will turn around when they reach their extreme!

In fact,

After defeating the Devouring Spirit Clan, the Xiao Clan was not destroyed.

On the contrary, the Xiao clan, as the strongest of the imperial clans, was the absolute beneficiary of that event.

Therefore,

That's what made the most talented and brilliant patriarch of the Xiao clan have the idea of ​​breaking through to the Dou Di realm.

In order to break through to the Emperor Realm, Xiao Xuan forcibly exhausted the power of the Xiao Clan's Emperor-grade bloodline.

The breakthrough failed, and his own realm suffered a backlash.

They were ambushed and killed by the powerful members of the Soul Clan.

The Xiao clan, having lost the divinity in their bloodline, declined and faded from the ranks of imperial clans.

This result is both regrettable and fortunate.

Unfortunately,

Even someone as powerful as Xiao Xuan couldn't break through to the Dou Di realm, unable to break free of his shackles.

Perhaps this world truly can no longer produce an Emperor-level powerhouse.

Fortunately,

Xiao Xuan failed to break through.

If Xiao Xuan had broken through to Dou Di back then, the Xiao Clan would be the dominant force in the Dou Qi Continent today.

The image of these imperial clans dominating the world is no more.

"That's right, it's Xiao Xuan, the one who failed to break through to the Dou Di realm!"

Noticing the astonished expressions on everyone's faces,

Gu Yuan continued,

"Xiao Xuan was already at the half-step Emperor Realm at that time. Whether it was his soul or his realm, he was only half a step away from becoming a Dou Di."

"After Xiao Xuan failed to break through, the Soul Clan launched a siege against him, but how could such a powerful figure fall so easily?"

"As far as I know, Xiao Xuan did not truly perish. A wisp of his consciousness still exists in the Ancient Clan's Heavenly Tomb. As long as the divinity within the Xiao Clan's bloodline is restored, Xiao Xuan may be resurrected!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this,

The patriarchs of the various imperial clans once again wore expressions of disbelief.

Their expressions also became more varied.

"Resurrection?!"

"A half-step Emperor Realm, peak Dou Sheng expert is terrifyingly powerful, able to be resurrected after ten thousand years."

"Xiao Xuan is a half-step Emperor Realm cultivator. If he can be resurrected, and with Brother Gu Yuan joining the fray, what is there to fear from the two nine-star Dou Sheng of the Soul Clan?!"

"That being said, Xiao Xuan has been dead for ten thousand years. Bringing him back to life might not be so simple. I think this matter should still be discussed!"

"The Soul Clan's methods are somewhat obsessive, but they are, after all, one of the ancient imperial clans. They might not necessarily attack us. We should negotiate with them and ascertain their stance first!"

For a time,

The attitudes of the various imperial clan leaders became hesitant and peculiar.

Regarding the attitudes of the various imperial clan leaders

Gu Yuan was not surprised.

Even a powerful Saint-level warrior like the patriarch of the Imperial Clan couldn't escape his human nature.

That's just how people are.

If things develop in a way that is not in their favor, and they do not have enough benefits, no alliance will remain steadfast.

Deal with the Soul Clan!

The reason is that the Soul Clan has produced two Nine-Star Dou Sheng, which is related to the status of other imperial clans, and even their survival.

They would stop at nothing to fight the Soul Clan for the sake of their own race.

But because of dealing with the Soul Clan,

This allowed the Xiao clan, which had faded from the historical stage, to rise again.

This is not the situation they wanted to see, nor is it what they hoped for.

If Xiao Xuan were to be resurrected,

The Soul Clan would certainly not dare to act recklessly.

However, the Xiao clan's return to the imperial clan means that the limited cultivation resources need to be redistributed.

These resources allocated to the Xiao tribe,

They will inevitably try to seize control of their existing resources.

Undeniably, Xiao Xuan's resurrection was the last thing the Soul Clan wanted to see.

But they also don't want to see this situation.

"Gentlemen."

Gu Yuan pondered for a moment, then interrupted their conversation,

"Perhaps my description was not clear enough. What I meant by resurrection is that Xiao Xuan's soul body has regained some of its consciousness and strength."

"This recovery won't last long. What's worth looking forward to is that during this short recovery, Xiao Xuan will be able to unleash strength that is no weaker than that of a peak nine-star Dou Sheng."

"With Xiao Xuan's intervention, the recovery time will be greatly shortened. Simply put, once recovered, Xiao Xuan will have one more chance to strike, at which point he will die completely!"

This was the excuse he had prepared long ago.

after all!

The matter concerning the mysterious powerful figure from the Great Thousand Realms behind the Xiao family is far too bizarre.

These imperial families could not believe it.

Based on Gu Yuan's speculation, the other party likely possesses the secret to breaking through to the Dou Di realm.

Therefore, the existence of the other party needs to be kept secret.

He needed to find a reason that these imperial families could believe and be willing to pay the price for.

One-third of the ancient tribe's resources

Even a powerful clan like the Ancient Clan, and a powerful clan like Gu Yuan, felt an immense pain in their hearts.

Since the other party is exchanging the future of this world for it, then this price should naturally be borne by all the imperial clans.

Xiao Xuan's energy body does indeed exist in the ancient clan's celestial tomb.

He wasn't lying about that.

There was no deception.

As for the threat posed by the newly promoted nine-star Dou Sheng of the Soul Clan...

After he learned the secret to breaking through to the Dou Di realm, he successfully broke through to Dou Di.

So what if there are two nine-star Dou Sheng?!

Even if he fails to break through to the Dou Di level, Gu Yuan could still target the Xiao Clan.

It has nothing to do with his ancient clan.

In this matter of supporting the Xiao clan, the Gu clan was also a victim.

It will not affect the status and reputation of the ancient clan in the eyes of other imperial clans!

Exchanging a portion of controllable resources for the secret to becoming an emperor, and for the friendship and trust of a powerful figure from the Great Thousand Worlds, is a very worthwhile trade!

"So that's how it is! The power of time is irresistible; even a semi-emperor like Xiao Xuan couldn't escape it. It's truly a case of heaven being jealous of talent, a lamentable situation!"

"The Soul Clan is truly despicable. If it weren't for that ambush, Xiao Xuan might have actually broken through to the Dou Di realm. Although he failed, he will undoubtedly learn from it, and this experience will be of great use to us imperial clans!"

"Unfortunately, the Soul Clan feared the Xiao Clan would produce an Emperor-level expert, so they killed Xiao Xuan, completely cutting off his path to breaking through to Dou Di!"

"I suggest that we resurrect Xiao Xuan. This is the simplest and most effective way to control the Soul Clan!"

"Indeed! The Soul Clan is cunning by nature. We must not negotiate with them. We can negotiate, but we must also prepare countermeasures in advance!"

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

After Gu Yuan explained the circumstances of Xiao Xuan's resurrection...

The patriarchs of the various imperial clans all changed their attitudes again, expressing their regret over Xiao Xuan's death.

They also openly condemned the actions of the Soul Clan.

Gu Lie: "???"

He remained silent throughout.

Gu Lie, the Black Annihilation King of the Ancient Clan, stood silently to the side.

Upon hearing the remarks of the various imperial clan leaders, they also showed expressions of astonishment and wry smiles.

"No shamelessness"

"I really can't hold onto this position as the patriarch of the imperial clan!"

Gu Lie whispered to himself,

A hint of contempt and disdain flashed in his eyes.

He was a pure strongman.

Believing in absolute power, he believed that Xiao Xuan, who was striving to break through to the Emperor Realm, was many times stronger than these treacherous clan leaders.

No wonder the strength of this ancient imperial clan has been declining.

It's truly tragic that the ancient imperial lineage has fallen into the hands of these people.

of course,

Except for the ancient clan chief,

In the eyes of the Black Annihilation King Gu Lie, Gu Yuan was the wisest and greatest patriarch of all the ancient clans.

Both in terms of ability and character, he is impeccable, simply perfect!
