Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Now we face a very harsh problem: after communication and negotiation, apart from the Stone Clan, who value the significance of fighting the Soul Clan more because Han Feng had done his work in advance, the Flame Clan, Thunder Clan, and Medicine Clan do not have a strong intention to form an alliance.

Even with testimonies from the Spirit Clan that the Soul Clan's actions had seriously violated the Eight Clans Covenant, this remained the case.

This illustrates a very simple point: if they are unwilling to form an alliance under these circumstances, then it is even more impossible to go to their door to demand an explanation. They will only agree when things are truly desperate.

Han Feng's heart sank slightly upon hearing Gu Yuan's words.

The Flame Clan, Thunder Clan, and Medicine Clan belong to the middle-level clans, which are above the Spirit Clan and Stone Clan. Among the eight ancient clans, they are undoubtedly more powerful.

Therefore, he did not rashly approach these three clans. Firstly, he lacked the strength to persuade them, and secondly, he knew that the affairs of these three clans were more complicated and difficult to handle, so he tried to leave it to the end and did not want to provoke them prematurely.

However, Han Feng did not expect that even though the ancient clans had already taken action, none of the three clans had made a clear statement.

The situation is still not optimistic.

"So the Soul Clan's current plan is to make us fight amongst ourselves first."

Han Feng said, "As long as the Yan Clan, Lei Clan, and Yao Clan don't feel that the crisis is that intense, their intention to form an alliance will be even weaker. At that time, the three clans will form an alliance on their own and sit back and watch the tigers fight."

Gu Yuan lowered his eyes, and Han Feng's last four words revealed his most indignant guess.

Watching the tigers fight from the mountain is true; these three races do not want to see any race win. Even if the Soul Race made a mistake beforehand, they hope that the Ancient Race and the Soul Race can form a check and balance, so as not to create a situation where one race becomes dominant.

The actions of the three races were undoubtedly disheartening, dealing the alliance against the Soul Race its first major blow.

Just as the atmosphere became tense, Han Feng suddenly chuckled.

"why are you laughing?"

Gu Yuan asked in confusion.

Logically, Han Feng shouldn't be able to laugh right now.

"Actually, this was expected."

Han Feng said.

In the previous life, the three races actually had a great chance to fight against the Soul Race. If everyone had united, the final outcome might have been different.

But it's easier said than done; achieving unity is not so easy.

Given their current situation, the three races will never resort to their hidden resources unless faced with an extremely dire situation.

Even if they agree to form an alliance later, it will probably just be a pretense; they won't really go all out.

Their three clans had a clear idea: to make the ancient clan the scapegoat.

If the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan suffer heavy losses or even perish together, then the development space for the three clans will be much wider, and they may even be able to reach the top of the continent without lifting a finger.

"As expected?"

Gu Yuan shook his head.

"This is to be expected, but it's not a good thing."

This was a hunch that turned out to be a bad one, and it came true.

"On the bright side, at least now the Stone Clan shows signs of cooperation, and with the Spirit Clan added, we now have three factions."

There are three races that resist the Soul Clan, and three races that remain neutral.

This situation is much better than in my previous life.

Gu Yuan frowned and said, "Are we really going to sit idly by and watch those three clans go unchecked?"

Gu Yuan's idea was simple: to fight external enemies, one must first secure internal stability. If internal stability cannot be maintained, there is no point in fighting the Soul Clan.

The Soul Clan has two Nine-Star Dou Sheng, and in terms of strength, their ancient clan might not necessarily be a match for them.

That's why Gu Yuan wanted to gather the other families.

If the Flame Clan and the Thunder Clan were willing to intervene, they might be able to hold off another Nine-Star Dou Sheng, buying Gu Yuan time to defeat the Soul Emperor.

However, if the supreme combat power of both sides is unbalanced, then this battle can only be fought slowly.

If the higher-ups don't get involved, they can only wear down the lives of the lower-ranking soldiers. So the current lukewarm state of the war is a necessary evil.

Once higher-ups intervene, the damage will be even greater, and the situation will become even more dire.

"It's not that we're ignoring it."

Han Feng said.

"Instead, we wait for the right opportunity."

"Since the Soul Clan did not choose to launch a lightning attack, we will remain inactive to avoid a large-scale conflict."

"All we need to do is keep a close eye on their movements."

In terms of development, their speed of improvement is no worse than that of the Soul Clan, and Han Feng is confident that he will make further progress in the next two years.

Therefore, the Soul Clan's actions were exactly what he wanted.

It was originally thought that the changes in the Spirit Clan would cause the Soul Clan to change their plans, but unexpectedly the Soul Clan chose this tactic.

Then Han Feng and the others will have more time to improve themselves.

Chapter 430 Emerging from Heavenly Tomb

"I heard that the Heavenly Tomb is about to open."

Han Feng asked.

Gu Yuan nodded.

The opening time of the Heavenly Tomb is certain; the ancient race has been calculating it precisely, and it will open in half a month.

"What are you planning to do with those members of the Soul Clan?"

Gu Yuan shook his head.

"The person the Soul Clan sent this time can only be considered a genius with outstanding talent. Their real trump card is something they simply couldn't bear to send to the Ancient Clan."

So even if you kill the other person, it won't make a difference.

Compared to the grand plan of the Soul Clan, Gu Yuan did not believe that one person would affect the clan.

"I have an idea."

Han Feng raised his eyelids, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"how do you want to do it?"

Gu Yuan asked.

“Use secret methods to implant a backup plan within them, then release them back to serve as pawns for future use.”

"A backup plan? The Soul Clan will definitely investigate them, so a simple backup plan might not be effective."

Gu Yuan reminded him.

"Therefore, this backup plan must be concealed, even to the point of being undetectable."

Han Feng said.

Gu Yuan nodded.

"Since you have an idea, then I'll leave this matter to you. Anyway, it's not a big deal if we lose those two pieces."

In his previous life, Han Feng had been imprisoned by the Soul Clan for many years, so he was quite familiar with the place.

Therefore, compared to other ancient families, Han Feng is actually more familiar with the Soul Clan.

Han Feng bid farewell to Gu Yuan and returned to his temporary residence.

He sealed off the surrounding space and then summoned the sub-flames of the Void Devouring Flame.

If there is any method that can almost perfectly conceal one's identity, it is only this one.

One of the abilities of Void Devouring Flame is to devour and assimilate.

Han Feng looked at the ball of fire in his hand and took a deep breath.

To make this backup plan even more secure and prevent the Soul Clan's flame entity from discovering it, he still needed to make some modifications.

----------

Half a month later.

At the heart of the ancient tribe, a vast layer of energy spread across the sky.

A group of ancient clan elders surrounded this place, with a vast, dark army behind them.

Boom!

The gate to the Heavenly Tomb slowly opened, releasing a mysterious aura.

It was incredibly pure energy, existing in a special form.

Han Feng stood not far away, gazing into the interior of the Heavenly Tomb.

A moment later, several figures flew out from within.

The group in the lead were all members of ancient clans, but to everyone's surprise, the one who flew out next was actually a member of the Xiao family!

Xiao Yan's appearance at this time is very different from that of half a year ago.

Her previously tied-up hair became even longer, and a clan mark between her brows shone brightly. With every gesture, she exuded a powerful force of law.

Dou Zun!

In just half a year, Xiao Yan has already reached the Dou Zun realm, and it seems that he is not even at the initial stage.

Subsequently, talents from the other tribes flew out one after another.

The two disciples of the Soul Clan were in a sorry state, their auras weak, and they appeared to have been injured in the Heavenly Tomb.

The two quickly scanned the crowd, trying to find the Soul Clan elder who had come to meet them.

However, the current situation will undoubtedly disappoint them.

There were no Soul Clan elders here, only the menacing Black Annihilation Army.

Sensing the uneasy atmosphere, the two Soul Clan disciples fled into the distance without a word, only to be trapped by a giant net the next second.

"What do you want to do?!"

The two were shocked and angry.

"What are you doing? Humph!"

"The Soul Clan's scheme has been exposed. You may all surrender now!"

The Black Annihilation Army commander smiled coldly and decisively tightened the giant net, completely cutting off any possibility of the two escaping.

The other members of the clans, who were still unaware of what was happening, were startled by the actions of the ancient clan.

What is this doing?

"Gentlemen, there is no need to panic. This matter is aimed at the Soul Clan and has nothing to do with you."

The ancient clan elder stepped forward and said.

"Due to the current martial law in the ancient clans, the elders of the various clans have not been able to come in. We will send someone to take you home later."

The members of the other clans felt somewhat relieved after hearing this.

However, they were still very curious. According to past practice, only half a year should have passed in the outside world, so why did the ancient clan suddenly declare martial law and even seem to have declared war on the Soul Clan?

Confusion lingered in everyone's hearts, except for Xiao Yan. He looked around the crowd, spotted Han Feng not far away, and immediately flew forward.

"Brother!"

Seeing Xiao Yan's current aura, Han Feng smiled and nodded.

"Not bad, you've made great progress."

Xiao Yan smiled confidently.

At this moment, he was no longer the weakling he once was.

Having undergone the baptism of the Xiao clan's bloodline, Xiao Yan now also possesses the ability to use the clan's markings.

Previously, when fighting against others in the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Yan was already able to fight back and even hold his own.

"Senior brother, I saw something in the Heavenly Tomb..."
