Chapter 377 The Soul Clan's Outsourced Mission!

The eight ancient clans were all descendants of the Dou Di (Battle Emperor).

The Soul Emperor is not afraid of others touching the legacy of the Ancient Emperor Natuoshe.

Because those people did not have the bloodline of the Dou Di, nor did they possess the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.

Even if the ancient emperor's cave were found, it would be absolutely impossible to enter it.

But the Xiao clan is different!

That family was once the undisputed leader of the eight ancient clans.

Their clan leader, Xiao Xuan, was exceptionally talented, having once reached the threshold of becoming a Dou Di, and nearly rewrote the landscape of the continent!

Even though the Xiao Clan has declined and its members' bloodline is thin, the blood of the Dou Di still flows in their veins, and they hold a piece of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade that has been passed down through generations!

If they really did find that ancient emperor's cave, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"We can't wait any longer!"

The Soul Emperor acted decisively, ordering Void Devouring Flame and Soul Extinction, "You two immediately gather the elite forces of your clans and accompany me to Canaan Academy!"

"Canaan Academy? Chieftain, that's just a second-rate academy in the Northwest Continent. What would we do there?"

Hun Miesheng looked up in astonishment, puzzled, and asked.

The Void Devouring Flame beside him let out a hoarse and eerie sneer: "Because the cave of the ancient emperor Tuoshe... is hidden beneath that academy. I escaped from that place back then."

These words caused Hun Miesheng to tremble violently.

He never expected that this Void Lord, who held a transcendent position within the clan, would be related to the legendary Dou Di Cave.

Just then, Void Devouring Flame suddenly changed the subject and looked at Soul Emperor, saying, "I have no objection to you going to Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Cave, but with such a large mobilization, Gu Yuan will definitely notice. In my opinion, this matter should not be publicized. It would be better if we only took a few clan elders above the Seven Star Dou Sheng level to go and finish the battle quickly, so as not to alert the enemy and cause any unforeseen complications."

He came from the Tuoshegudi Cave, and therefore knew how dangerous that place was.

Ordinary people would have no chance of survival there.

Even a Dou Sheng-level expert would face a near-certain death if they went there.

He didn't understand why the Soul Emperor wanted the other members of the Soul Clan to go along.

Isn't this just sending them to be cannon fodder?

"No! You're wrong!"

The Soul Emperor directly rejected the Void Devouring Flame's suggestion, then continued, "We monitor other races, but isn't that old fellow Gu Yuan watching us in the same way? I'm afraid he already knows that you and I left our clan territory!"

"Since that's the case, hiding it will only make us look guilty and make us appear weak. We should go all out and stir up the waters completely, so that we will have a greater chance of obtaining the ancient emperor's legacy."

"Your familiarity with the interior of the cave is our greatest advantage. My biggest concern right now is whether the person who triggered the seal has already entered."

Upon hearing this, Void Devouring Flame let out a chilling laugh: "Don't worry about that. The Ancient Emperor Cave is fraught with danger and is by no means a safe place. Putting aside everything else, the Ancient Dragon Emperor Zhukun who guards the cave is at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, and he also possesses an Emperor-level soul. He has been trapped there for thousands of years and has an extremely violent temper. Anyone who dares to trespass without equal strength is just courting death and becoming his food. Our real opponent has always been Gu Yuan. The others are not worth fearing at all."

The words of the Void Devouring Flame reassured the Soul Emperor somewhat.

He already knew where the Tuoshegudi Cave was.

The reason he didn't go directly to Canaan Academy to investigate when Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade showed unusual activity was because he was worried that old fellow Gu Yuan would also notice that place.

But after being analyzed by the Void Devouring Flame, he suddenly understood.

Their biggest threat right now is Gu Yuan.

Even if others enter the Cave of the Ancient Emperor of Natuoshe, they will be intercepted and killed by the Ancient Dragon Emperor of Taixu, Zhukun.

"Now that someone has found the location of the ancient Emperor Natuoshe Cave, why don't we turn the tables and lure all the people of the eight ancient clans there, then wipe them out in one fell swoop..."

The Soul Emperor pondered to himself, already having devised an excellent countermeasure.

Just then, a spatial fluctuation suddenly came from outside the secret room.

Then, an old man dressed in a black robe stepped out from the void.

It turned out that Elder Mu Gu, who had been ordered to investigate Yao Chen's whereabouts, had returned.

"My lord, I have investigated the matter of Yao Chen!"

Elder Mu Gu respectfully reported to Hun Miesheng: "Yao Chen has indeed been resurrected. Not only has his strength been fully restored, but it is said that he is even stronger than before. Moreover, he has joined forces with Venerable Feng to establish a force called the 'Exploding Heaven Gang' in the chaotic Black Corner Region, recruiting many alchemists and creating a great reputation. In addition... according to reliable sources, he has also taken on a personal disciple in Wutan City, named Xiao Yan!"

"Xiao Yan!"

The Soul Emperor frowned.

Yao Chen is resurrected, the Starfall Pavilion has relocated unexpectedly, and there's this disciple surnamed Xiao...

All these clues connected in his mind, instantly forming a complete network of relationships!

He can now be almost certain that the unusual activity of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is definitely related to the remnants of the Xiao clan!

In an instant.

A surge of anger, stemming from perceived offense and the possibility of the situation spiraling out of control, welled up within the Soul Emperor, revealing a murderous intent in his eyes.

He glared at the Void Devouring Flame, his tone filled with undisguised reproach: "Back then, I ordered you to wipe out the Xiao Clan and eliminate any future troubles. Why did you fail to do so? If the Xiao Clan had been completely destroyed and their bloodline severed back then, how could we be facing this predicament today, leaving me in such a passive position!"

Upon hearing this, the black flames pulsating around Void Devouring Flame paused slightly. He coldly looked at Soul Extinction and said, "I entrusted this matter entirely to Soul Extinction back then. It was his incompetence that caused this. What does it have to do with me?"

Hun Miesheng's face turned pale instantly.

Feeling the gazes cast simultaneously by Soul Emperor and Void Devouring Flame, he hurriedly explained, "Clan leader, you are wise. Lord Void did indeed assign this task to me back then, but I was in seclusion at the time, breaking through to a critical realm, and I simply couldn't spare the time. According to intelligence, the remnants of the Xiao Clan back then were nothing but trash who weren't even Dou Wang level, and it wasn't worth my personal attention. Therefore... therefore, I entrusted this cleanup task to Mu Gu."

Upon hearing Hun Miesheng's words, Hun Tiandi and Xuwu Tunyan's gazes instantly fell on the old man Mu Gu.

"Clan chief?"

"Lord Void?"

"Could they be the Soul Clan's patriarch, Soul Emperor, and Void Devouring Flame?"

The old man Mu Gu felt his scalp tingle and his whole body felt as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He was filled with misery.

He never dreamed that the person standing with Hun Miesheng at this moment would be Hun Tiandi, the patriarch of the Hun Clan, and Xu Wu Tun Yan, whose status in the Hun Clan was second only to Hun Tiandi.

No wonder Hun Miesheng appeared so humble and subservient in front of these two adults.

It turns out that these two gentlemen have such important backgrounds.
