Chapter 33 Gathering of the Xiao Clan
Seeing Gu Yuan leave, Lei Ying and the others stopped talking. Perhaps the best atmosphere among them was one of silence.
...
In the Soul Realm of the Soul Clan, the Soul Emperor, covered in wounds, finally returned. He hurriedly took out various healing pills and began to recover from his injuries. As he recovered, he angrily shouted in his heart, "Aaaaaah! Xiao Xuan, you're ruthless! I will definitely make your Xiao Clan bloodline end!"
He had originally anticipated that victory in this battle would grant him all the wealth of the Xiao Clan. Even if the Soul Clan suffered some losses, it wouldn't matter much, as the acquired wealth would elevate the Soul Clan's overall strength to a higher level. However, he never expected Xiao Xuan to be so ruthless, willing to sacrifice the Xiao Clan members to annihilate him. Now, apart from his own Soul Clan elders, none survived! This was a fatal blow to the Soul Clan!
The fact that Soul Dao, Soul Life Heaven, and others were able to break through to their current realms is undoubtedly due to their high talent, but it also owes to the Soul Clan the countless resources they have invested! Now, look what happened, they were wiped out in one fell swoop, leaving not a single one alive. The number of high-level Dou Sheng in the Soul Clan is now less than a handful!
In addition, he himself suffered such serious injuries that he would need to recuperate for at least a thousand years! If the Soul Clan could annex the Xiao Clan and obtain all of the Xiao Clan's property, it would be acceptable, at least it wouldn't have been a wasted effort. But now he himself is seriously injured and unable to fight again, and the Soul Clan has also been fundamentally damaged and is even less able to fight.
Under such circumstances, how could he dare to go and compete with other ancient races for the wealth of the Xiao Clan? It would be good enough if other races didn't take the opportunity to invade the Soul Realm and destroy the Soul Clan. As for the wealth of the Xiao Clan, he didn't even dare to think about it. He could only watch helplessly as it was seized by other races!
With nearly ten thousand years of accumulation, the Xiao clan's wealth must be an enormous sum, making it the envy of many. He didn't believe that the other clans could just sit by and watch this gold mine go without taking it. Not to mention the risks, even if there were risks, they would dare to fight for it!
Upon hearing this, he was filled with resentment and anger, to the point that he could hardly breathe. He had worked so hard and almost dragged the Soul Clan down with him, but in the end, it was all for naught. He gained nothing, while the other clans reaped the benefits!
The culprit behind this situation is Xiao Xuan! If it weren't for him, how could I have been so seriously injured? If it weren't for him, how could the Soul Clan have suffered such a devastating blow?
Given the current strength of the Soul Clan, they cannot confront the other clans head-on. Therefore, the Soul Emperor has decided to vent his anger on the Xiao Clan. It doesn't matter that the Xiao Clan is destroyed; there are still some Xiao Clan members who have escaped. The Soul Clan's next target is them. They will not only kill them but also capture and torture them, making them wish they were dead!
After such a long battle, Soul Emperor had a very good understanding of Xiao Xuan's condition. He now knew that Xiao Xuan had suffered some hidden injuries before the battle, otherwise his strength would not have been so weak, and he would not have been defeated so easily. Thinking about it this way, the hidden injuries on his body must have been caused by his failure to break through to the Dou Di realm!
Thinking about all this, he felt a sense of relief. Otherwise, the outcome of this battle would have been truly unpredictable. Of course, if he hadn't chosen to engage at this time, but instead waited for the Xiao Clan to be defeated, the Soul Clan would likely have faced Xiao Xuan at his peak. In that case, the Soul Clan would have suffered far greater losses than they had now. Compared to that, the current losses of the Soul Clan seemed insignificant. It could only be said that every gain and loss is preordained by fate!
"Xiao Xuan! The Xiao Clan!" Gritting his teeth, the Soul Emperor suppressed his anger and began to heal his injuries. Gu Yuan and the others already knew he was seriously injured, and if they attacked him again, it would be troublesome. Therefore, he needed to focus all his efforts on recovering.
Meanwhile, Gu Yuan, who had returned to the Ancient Clan, informed the elders of the matter. Subsequently, a group of Ancient Clan cultivators, led by Gu Dao, one of the Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan, emerged from the Ancient Realm and headed towards the Xiao Clan. As expected by the Soul Emperor, they would not let go of the Xiao Clan, this enormous gold mine.
As one of the three immortals of the ancient clan, Gu Dao possesses the strength of a late-stage Seven-Star Dou Sheng. His leadership of the team this time is to prevent conflicts with other clans and to better secure more benefits in the distribution of the Xiao clan's property.
Besides the ancient clan, Lei Ying and the others also sent their elders to lead teams to the Xiao clan after returning to their respective clans, in order to seize the Xiao clan's wealth.
In the eyes of Gu Yuan and others, the Xiao clan is still a huge gold mine, and a gold mine without any defenses, just waiting for them to take it.
When Gu Dao led his team to the Xiao Clan's territory, he couldn't help but sigh at the sight of its ruins. He was quite familiar with the Xiao Clan, having visited many times with Gu Yuan, each time awestruck by their strength, grandeur, and glory. But now, that powerful Xiao Clan was extinct, and the once incomparably glorious Xiao Realm was a desolate wasteland…
Just as he was feeling a sense of wonder, the elders of the other clans who had already arrived saw that the Ancient Clan was led by Gu Dao, and their expressions immediately turned gloomy.
"Greetings, Senior Gu Dao," the group said.
"Um".
Seeing that Gu Dao's attitude was very indifferent, the others stopped rushing to greet him. Although their strength was lower than his, their status here meant they didn't need to do that.
"How could we trouble Elder Gu Dao to grace us with his presence this time!" an elder of the Lei Clan said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, clearly very dissatisfied with Gu Dao's arrival, though his actions seemed rather foolish.
Upon hearing this man's words, Gu Dao glanced at him and then said indifferently, "I just came out of seclusion a few days ago. After hearing about this matter, I volunteered to the clan leader to go out and relax. I hope you all will forgive my rudeness."
His answer only fueled the indignation of everyone present. This was a time when several clans were vying for the Xiao clan's wealth, yet Gu Dao claimed he was here to relax. What did he take him for? He clearly didn't respect them at all!
It's a huge waste of talent for a powerful expert at the late stage of the Seven Star Dou Sheng realm to personally go out just to distribute the benefits! The most crucial point is that, apart from the Ancient Dao, the elders of the other clans are at most Six Star Dou Sheng, and there are even three Four Star Dou Sheng.
You have to understand that the Xiao clan is not a threat at all right now; they are just waiting for the distribution of benefits.
Is it really necessary for him to take action personally?
