Chapter 1148: with translation of chapter title

Immediately, he directly ignored Lin Feng in the distance, turned his gaze to Hun Mie Sheng, and roared: 'Hall Master of the Soul Hall, I, the entire clan's old and young, demand you return my father and my brother. Otherwise, I, Xiao Yan, will tear you apart limb from limb!'

Bang!

While speaking, Xiao Yan disregarded his injuries, his dou qi surged throughout his body, his aura instantly spreading, appearing ready to fight Hun Mie Sheng to the death.

'Xiao Yan brother, calm down a bit; the Hall Master of the Soul Hall was already a renowned Dou Sheng a thousand years ago, and now his strength is even greater—temporarily not something we can handle. This matter... we'll discuss later!'

Seeing the former's situation ahead and the double blow to his family, Xiao Yan's emotions collapsed outright; Gu Xun'er hurriedly grabbed his arm and pulled hard, urging him.

After all, the current Hall Master of the Soul Hall is indeed not something they can handle.

Hearing the voice of his most beloved woman, Xiao Yan's emotions eased somewhat.

But seeing the Hall Master of the Soul Hall appear before him like that, he remained deeply unwilling, saying: 'But my father.'

'Xiao Yan brother, you are now the sole hope of rescuing Uncle Xiao Zhan, so you must not act impulsively. Moreover, even if you killed the Hall Master of the Soul Hall before you, it would achieve nothing. After all, you know why the Soul Clan captured your father!'

Upon hearing that, Gu Xun'er immediately shouted in a low voice.

Those words of the former immediately rang like a heavy bell, echoing continuously in Xiao Yan's mind.

Yes, according to his teacher, his father is likely imprisoned in the Soul Realm.

Even if he killed the Hall Master of the Soul Hall before him, his relatives would not return.

What's more, the Soul Clan might fly into a rage and kill one of his relatives to intimidate him!

As for seizing the Hall Master of the Soul Hall to threaten the Soul Clan into releasing his relatives, Xiao Yan, who already knows what the Soul Clan's slaughter of the Xiao Family truly means, harbors no such useless thought.

'Heh heh, so you're the Xiao clan's lucky escapee, Xiao Yan—I've heard people talk about you. You brat, you've destroyed many of my Soul Hall's branches before. But I really don't know what you're doing, or whether your soul essence and origin were taken by the Ancient Clan; now you're merely a useless beginner in the Heavenly Realm.'

Seeing the agitated Xiao Yan, Hun Mie Sheng's gaze swept over him with interest.

Finally, it lingered on the Ancient Clan and the others.

Afterwards his face darkened slightly, and he continued: 'However, your Ancient Clan also participated heavily when Xiao Yan destroyed my Soul Hall's branches. This debt, I will surely collect sooner or later.'

While speaking, Hun Mie Sheng's gaze gradually turned gloomy.

Around the time Xiao Yan rescued Yao Chen, the Soul Hall lost a combined total of soul essences and origins amounting to nearly millions of soul entities.

Moreover, not long ago, after Xiao Yan broke through to Dou Sheng, he also killed their Soul Hall's Second Heavenly Lord, Gu You.

He keeps track of all these debts.

Had he not been wary of the Ancient Clan, he would have personally seized Xiao Yan and thrown him into the lair of the Harmonious Beast.

Let that Xiao clan mongrel taste the flavor of being constantly developed by the Harmonious Beast's invincible great iron rod!

After all, when he initially lost soul essences and origins worth roughly a million soul entities, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall was scolded bloody by the Void Overseer, who cared deeply about soul collection, and he also lost face within the clan.

If he doesn't find a chance to retaliate, he might as well not be called Hun Mie Sheng but Hun Wo Nang.

That previous attack on Xiao Yan was carried out by him.

However, the Vice Hall Master of the Soul Hall and the Great Heavenly Lord were truly ineffective, again causing him to lose face and allowing Xiao Yan, a mere one-star Dou Sheng, to escape.

Even the Half-Saint Yao Chen could not be captured.

After that, he was unsurprisingly summoned again by the Void Overseer for a scolding, who bluntly said that if he delayed the plan's progress, he would be burned into fertilizer for flowers.

As for the so-called Harmonious Beast, it is actually a magical beast similar to the Harmonious Ape, except its rank is much higher than that of the Harmonious Ape.

It is said that a top-tier Harmonious Beast King can grow to the level of Dou Zun.

In its true form, the beast's unspeakable part is said to have a diameter of several dozen zhang and a length of nearly a hundred zhang.

If Xiao Yan were thrown to that idle Harmonious Beast King, tsk tsk—who knows how much pain that guy would feel? No, it would be pleasure.

'You bastard, what does it matter if I destroy your branch? I tell you, from now on I, the young master, will not only keep destroying your branches but will also slaughter your Soul Hall clean, leaving not a single person!'

Regarding the Hall Master of the Soul Hall's words, Xiao Yan felt no strangeness and directly cursed back.

After all, the former's words were not wrong; from his breakthrough to Dou Zun up to now as a Dou Sheng, he has indeed destroyed many branches along the way.

The Hall Master of the Soul Hall mocked his soul power, and Xiao Yan thought it was deliberate to strike him down, wanting him to collapse completely.

However, Xiao Yan didn't care, but the Ancient Clan's people felt as if a pot had fallen from the sky and then smashed hard onto their heads.

They admitted that, due to their young lady's involvement, when Xiao Yan destroyed the Soul Hall's branches, their Ancient Clan members indeed intervened.

However, the number of those who intervened was also quite limited.

As for plundering soul essences and origins, that is sheer nonsense!

Meanwhile, Gu Xun'er, seeing that her side and the Soul Clan were arguing, quickly glanced away and did not mention that Lin Feng and the others were still present in the distance.

She knew well that, given her family members' temperaments, if she spoke up to warn that a minute was about to arrive, they would surely withdraw right then.

By then, her brother Xiao Yan wanting to defeat Lin Feng alone would be difficult.

Therefore, she must devise a way to make her family, along with the allies Yan and Yao clans, fight Lin Feng, and the fiercer the better.

Ideally, she would use the strength of her Ancient Clan and the Yan and Yao clans to remove this obstacle, Lin Feng, for her brother Xiao Yan.

However, although Gu Xun'er wished for Lin Feng to fall out with her family, someone did not want that.

The thin old man in silver robes standing beside Hun Mie Sheng, seeing that the Ancient Clan and others were not leaving, immediately demanded sternly: 'How come you three clans aren't returning to your own territories? Do you intend to fight to the death with the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon, the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan, and our three great families?'

Although that old man was questioning, he inadvertently brought Lin Feng—who had been utterly unnoticed due to the Soul Hall Master and Xiao Yan incident—back into the minds of the three-clan alliance led by the Ancient Clan.

'You old bastard, Lei Clan, wait for me!'

The silver-robed old man's words instantly wiped the smile from Gu Xun'er's face, making her extremely angry.

In the midst of her inner cursing, Gu Xun'er's hands involuntarily clenched into fists, desperately suppressing the endless fury within her chest.

After all, if she waited another dozen seconds, that minute would be up.

By then, Lin Feng and her family on both sides would surely be unable to take back their previous words, forced to bite the bullet and go to war.

But now, because of that one sentence from the Lei Clan Elder, her plan collapsed instantly.

In fact, just as Gu Xun'er had thought, after the Ancient, Yan, and Yao clans recalled Lin Feng, they immediately thought of his earlier words.

'Lin Feng, we won't just let this go—wait for me!'

Thinking that if they continued to cause trouble, it might lead to irreversible consequences, the Ancient Clan Elder could only forcibly calm himself and utter harsh words.

And as soon as his words fell, he looked toward Lin Feng, his face icy cold, and said: "Return the space rings and corpses of those strong ones completely; we are leaving now!"

Hehe, I can return the space rings to you, but as for their corpses, in the earlier battle we barely managed to kill those people. Therefore, we simply cannot control our strength; their bodies and souls have already been turned to ashes, so I cannot return them to you.

While speaking, Lin Feng endured the pain and pulled out several space rings from his bosom, then waved his hand and flung them before the three-tribe allied forces, afterwards saying: "You yourselves distinguish which space ring belongs to each family's Elder; the soul imprint on them is still intact, and besides, I have no time to examine them. Therefore, the contents inside have not been disturbed."

Upon hearing the former say that the Elders of their own family ahead had already been blasted to ashes, the members of the three-tribe allied forces, in their heightened emotions, could not help but twitch at the corners of their eyes.

Hmph, you just wait for me!

Although the members of the Gu, Yan, and Yao three-tribe allied forces all let out a cold snort in unison, unwillingly glancing over the space rings before them, they then collected the space rings of their fallen comrades.

After checking these space rings' soul imprints and confirming they had not been broken, the Gu tribe's Elder immediately waved at the others and said: "Everyone, retreat!"

As soon as his words fell, he first fiercely flicked his sleeve, then turned and flew back in the direction they had come from.

As for the people of the other two tribes, they could only leave unwillingly as well.

After all, just like the Gu tribe, they did not want to blow this matter out of proportion, let alone trigger an all-out war between the current Gu and Hun factions.

Because if that were really the case, the ones who would suffer the most would only be these weaker families of theirs.

Moreover, Lin Feng now already possesses the power to threaten them.

If Lin Feng were merely the insignificant little nobody he once was, and he said something about joining the Hun tribe to oppose the Gu tribe, they would probably just laugh it off, not even muster the slightest interest, let alone consider him a threat.

Even if they were in a bad mood, the moment Lin Feng said he would surrender to the Hun tribe, they would dare to strike directly, smashing him into meat paste, so as not to let him continue affecting their mood.

But now, Lin Feng, whose strength has already reached three-star Dou Saint and who also has an extraordinary relationship with the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon and the Nine Nether Earth Python clan, already possesses the capital to threaten those three tribes.
