Chapter 466: Alliance with Blazing Flame Valley!
After listening to Tang Zhen's explanation, Huo Yun's aged face turned solemn.
In all his years, he had never heard of something so unbelievable.
He absorbed the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame?
This was probably the most shocking thing he had ever encountered.
Was that even humanly possible?
"If we can maintain a good relationship with him, that would be ideal. We must not make an enemy of him. Otherwise…"
"Valley Master, bad news!"
A red robed elder suddenly rushed in it was Wu Chen, a Dou Zong level expert.
If he was panicking, then something serious had happened.
"What happened?"
Tang Zhen quickly turned to him, his expression dark.
"Supreme Elder, Valley Master! We just received news something major has happened in the Northern Region's Four Way Pavilion!"
"What?!?!"
As Wu Chen relayed the details, both of their expressions instantly changed.
The Four Way Pavilion… had disappeared from history!
The Starfall Pavilion, Wind Lightning Pavilion, and Yellow Springs Pavilion had all merged into Cai Lin Pavilion. Meanwhile, the Myriad Sword Pavilion's Sword Venerable had been killed, and the entire sect was wiped out by the Yellow Springs Venerable alone!
This terrifying news had already spread across the entire Dou Qi Continent.
Blazing Flame Valley was no exception.
And the mastermind behind all of it…
Was the same man their precious Huo'er had been calling "Big Brother Wu."
Tang Zhen and Huo Yun exchanged looks, their faces grim.
He had just merged the Four Way Pavilion under his banner and immediately arrived at Blazing Flame Valley…
Was this a friendly visit?
Or was he offering courtesy before striking?
Regardless, they needed to talk to this "Brother Wu."
Inside Blazing Flame Valley's main hall, the key figures took their seats.
Wu Tian did not waste time with pleasantries. He had come here with purpose, and with Huo Yun being a Dou Sheng, it was unwise to make an enemy out of him.
"Brother Huo Yun, Valley Master Tang, aside from helping my little sister Huo'er, I came here for two main reasons. First, I required the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame. Second, I wish to form an alliance with Blazing Flame Valley."
"An alliance?"
Both Huo Yun and Tang Zhen were confused.
Why would they need an alliance?
They had no common enemies what was there to unite against?
"Venerable Yan, what exactly do you mean?"
Tang Zhen frowned, his tone serious.
"Valley Master Tang, have you ever heard of the Soul Clan?"
"The Soul Clan?"
Unlike Yao Chen, who was a member of the Ancient Clans, Tang Zhen and Huo Yun knew nothing about them.
They were completely clueless.
"Wait… could this Soul Clan be related to the Hall of Souls?"
"That's correct. The Hall of Souls is merely an external branch of the Soul Clan, operating on the Dou Qi Continent. In reality, the Hall of Souls the organization everyone fears is only one percent of the Soul Clan's true strength."
"…What?"
Wu Tian's words were so mind blowing that they felt dizzy.
"There exists such a powerful force on the continent?!"
"The Soul Clan is harvesting souls across the Dou Qi Continent in preparation for their Clan Leader's ascension to Dou Di. Their leader, Hun Tiandi, is at the peak of Nine Star Dou Sheng. He is one step away from breaking through.
"And under his command, the Soul Clan possesses nine Heavenly Venerables and an unknown number of Dou Sheng experts. Their strength is beyond imagination."
Huo Yun and Tang Zhen froze.
If Hun Tiandi was truly that powerful, he could wipe out the Dou Qi Continent at any moment!
And yet, Wu Tian claimed they still weren't acting because another power was keeping them in check?
"Then why hasn't the Soul Clan made a move?"
"They have been held back by an equally powerful force the Ancient Clans."
"The Ancient Clans?"
Their worldview was completely shattered.
One powerful clan was already difficult to comprehend now, Wu Tian was telling them that there were eight?
"Were these Ancient Clans not just legends?"
"They are very real. Among them, the strongest are the Soul Clan and the Gu Clan.
"Following them are the Yan Clan and Lei Clan.
"The Yao Clan ranks below them.
"The Shi Clan and Ling Clan follow afterward.
"And the final clan, the Xiao Clan, was once as strong as the Soul and Gu Clans. However, their leader, Xiao Xuan, attempted to break through to Dou Di and failed, causing the clan to decline into mediocrity."
Silence filled the hall.
The sheer weight of this information left them speechless.
This so called alliance…
"Venerable Yan… if the Soul Clan is truly as terrifying as you say… what can Blazing Flame Valley possibly do?"
Huo Yun finally spoke, getting straight to the point.
Wu Tian smiled.
"Brother Huo Yun, my current strength is roughly the same as yours. However, my power is still recovering."
"Recovering?"
"Yes. When I awakened four years ago, I was only at the peak of Dou Huang."
"…What?!"
Both Huo Yun and Tang Zhen stared in disbelief.
In just four years, he had gone from Dou Huang to this?
That was insane!
No wonder he dared to face the Soul Clan!
"Oh, and I forgot to mention…"
Wu Tian suddenly smirked.
"The Gu Clan's Eldest Young Miss… is one of my wives."
"…"
"…"
Huo Yun and Tang Zhen were utterly stunned.
One of his wives?
So he was married into the strongest Ancient Clan, and yet…
He still had other wives?!
Tang Zhen instantly felt despair.
My daughter never had a chance, huh…
At best, she might settle for being his little sister.
"Very well!" Huo Yun made up his mind. "Blazing Flame Valley will ally with Cai Lin Pavilion. From this day forward, we share our fate through life and death!"
"Excellent!" Wu Tian laughed. "Since we're allies now, I won't be polite. Huo'er should come to my pavilion for training. You two wouldn't mind, right?"
"Uh…?"
Before they could react
Wu Tian waved his hand, and ten bottles of high tier medicinal pills appeared.
"This is a small gift ten Tier 7 pills and thirty Tier 6 pills. Consider it a token of our alliance."
"…What?!"
Tang Zhen and Huo Yun gulped.
They quickly snatched the bottles and examined them.
Sure enough, every single pill was genuine and they weren't ordinary pills either!
Tang Zhen suddenly laughed out loud.
"If Huo'er can train under you, that would be wonderful! But alas… Blazing Flame Valley is too poor to return such a favor.
"However, I do have something to offer you our sect's secret technique, Three Mysterious Heavenly Flames."
Wu Tian raised an eyebrow and casually took the jade scroll.
"This technique… was created by Xiao Xuan, the failed Dou Di. You've probably heard of him."
"Xiao Xuan?!"
Tang Zhen and Huo Yun both gasped.
"You don't already have this technique, do you?"
"I didn't." Wu Tian smirked. "But I do have something even stronger."
"…"
Stronger than the Three Mysterious Heavenly Flames?
Just how powerful was this man?!
