Chapter 1340: Preparations Before the Storm

In the wooden house where Lin Feng resided at night, Xiao Yixian, the Three Beauties of the Dan Tower, Yun Yun, Cai Lin and several other women arrived one after another.

"Husband, not long ago Zi Yan sent word that she had already been accumulating resources in the Ancient Dragon Clan without regard to cost, advancing to Seven-Star Late-Stage Dou Saint, and after taking the two Ninth Grade Mystic Pills you gave her, she has now reached Seven-Star Peak."

Then, after everyone had gathered, Xiao Yixian immediately shared the good news she had just received.

"Oh, it seems my efforts haven't been in vain."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's eyes flashed with joy, and he smiled and nodded.

After imprisoning Gu Xun'er, he immediately refined two Ninth Grade Mystic Pills and had Xiao Yixian send them to Zi Yan.

Because his current Dou Qi strength and soul realm are both extremely formidable, he can refine two Ninth Grade Mystic Pills at once.

Moreover, the time required has been reduced from the original one month to within ten days.

Next, Lin Feng turned to his other wife and asked, "Cai Lin, have you received any news from Feng Er lately?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Lin instantly guessed that he was asking whether Feng Er had succeeded in breaking through after consuming that Ninth Grade Golden Pill–level waste pill.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan has not sent any news.

Therefore, Cai Lin could only shake her head and reply, "Not yet; perhaps Feng Er is still in the midst of breaking through."

"Is that so?"

Hearing that there was still no news from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Lin Feng murmured disappointedly.

Next, he began calculating in his mind the strength of the Hun and Gu clans as well as his own side.

Naturally, the one Lin Feng fears most is the Hun Clan.

Within their clan, there should be Hun Tiandi, a Nine-Star Peak Dou Saint, and the initial-stage Wu Nie Tun Yan of Nine-Star level.

However, if Wu Nie Tun Yan has undergone no change from the original story, it should now be an Emperor Realm Soul.

Although his existence caused the Hun Clan to lose the entire Stone Clan's Dou Emperor bloodline and soul,

Lin Feng knows that the Thunder Clan was annihilated by the Hun Clan.

With the Thunder Clan's supplementation, the Hun Clan will possess a soul body stronger than in the original story, as well as more Dou Emperor bloodline.

Thus, pushing Wu Nie Tun Yan to the Emperor Realm Soul should pose no problem.

Moreover, Hun Tiandi should likewise have no worries about the Dou Emperor bloodline.

Because in the original story he did not possess so many Dou Emperor bloodlines, yet he still carried out his own plan.

Now that there is an even more vast Dou Emperor bloodline, it is even less likely that he will continue to delay.

After all, the Thunder Clan's Dou Emperor bloodline concentration is far beyond what the Medicine Clan and Stone Clan can match.

It is feared that the Thunder Clan's Dou Emperor bloodline alone could equal the combined total of the Medicine Clan and Stone Clan, and possibly even exceed it.

Under Hun Tiandi and Wu Nie Tun Yan, the Hun Clan should consist of those three living dead.

Those three living dead are stronger than the Hun Yuan Tian that Lin Feng captured, with their former strength around Eight-Star Mid-Stage Dou Saint.

However, after being turned into living dead by the Hun Clan, their strength has declined.

Their current true combat power is approximately Eight-Star Mid-Stage Dou Saint.

Of course, although their strength is not what it was in life,

Eight-Star Mid-Stage Dou Saint is already an extremely formidable presence across the entire Dou Qi Continent.

Beneath those three living dead lies the sole survivor of the Four Devil Saints, a Seven-Star Late-Stage Dou Saint powerhouse, plus two others whose names we do not know, who are Seven-Star Initial Dou Saints.

Apart from these, the Hun Clan should have no other high-level Dou Saints.

As for the Gu Clan, there is Gu Yuan, a Nine-Star Peak Dou Saint, and the Eight-Star Initial Dou Saint Hei Nie Wang.

Below them are only the three Seven-Star Peak Dou Saints of the Gu Clan Three Immortals, who are high-level Dou Saints.

Apart from them, the rest are merely mid- to low-level Dou Saints.

Moreover, because the Gu Clan has the Flame Clan as an ally, we must also add Yan Jin, an Eight-Star Peak Dou Saint powerhouse, and Huo Ling, who has just entered the Eight-Star level.

However, Huo Ling, hehe.

After assessing the high-end combat power of both sides, Lin Feng immediately began calculating his own side's high-end combat power.

First and foremost, it is himself; his current dual Nine-Star Initial strength gives him combat power comparable to a Nine-Star Peak Dou Saint.

Next are Xiao Yixian and Cai Lin, both Eight-Star Mid-Stage Dou Saints.

Furthermore, there is the good news that Xiao Jiu recently succeeded in devouring the half-step Nine-Star Dou Saint Nine Profound Gold Dragon.

His Dou Qi level has already advanced to Eight-Star Peak Dou Saint.

Moreover, although Qing Lin's Dou Qi strength is only Seven-Star Mid-Stage, considering her Emperor Realm Soul and Green Snake Triple Pupils,

her true combat power is likely not inferior to the three mentioned earlier.

Besides Cai Lin, Xiao Yixian, Xiao Jiu, and Qing Lin, excluding Feng Er who is still advancing, the remaining Seven-Star Dou Saints are Zi Yan, who has just entered Seven-Star Peak Dou Saint.

However, although the Three Beauties of the Dan Tower and Yun Yun currently have only Six-Star Peak Dou Qi strength,

taking into account their powerful soul power and the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Wings Lin Feng gave them,

with multiple enhancements, if they were to really fight, their combat power would not fall short of a normal Seven-Star Dou Saint.

Furthermore, besides this, Lin Feng also possesses the Nine Netherworld Earth Python Clan that obeys him completely.

If, under the leadership of their clan chief Yao Ming, they form the Coiled Serpent Grand Formation, they can rival a Seven-Star Late-Stage to Peak Dou Saint.

Apart from the Nine Netherworld Earth Python Clan wholly controlled by Lin Feng's family, they also have the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan as allies.

Although these two allies' controllability cannot compare to that of the Nine Netherworld Earth Python Clan,

setting aside controllability, the strong ones of these two clans are urgently needed by Lin Feng.

After all, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan alone can provide Lin Feng with Huang Tian, a Seven-Star Mid-Stage Dou Saint; the Three Six-Star Heavenly Demon Phoenixes; three mid-level Dou Saints of Five-Star Mid-Stage and Five-Star Initial; and one low-level Dou Saint—five Dou Saints in total.

Naturally, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan originally had the Three Beauties of the Dan Tower and Zhao Ran helping with alchemy, and its own stores are fairly rich, so it could produce even more Dou Saints.

But they ultimately chose to stack the star levels of their existing Dou Saints, not produce new ones, following an elite troops approach.

Therefore, after cultivating them for so long without counting the cost, the number of Dou Saints in their clan has only now become so scarce.

As for the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, due to its deeper foundation, the number of strong individuals within the clan is considerably greater than that of the previous two major demon beast races.

Contains: Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan (in glossary). Also, the term "two major demon beast races" is generic.

Within their clan, excluding the old dragon emperor who is still guarding the gate and Zi Yan not counted, among the high-ranking Dou Sheng, there are a total of Chuhuo, an eight-star mid-stage Dou Sheng, and one seven-star mid-stage Dou Sheng.

Contains: Old Dragon Emperor (not in glossary), Zi Yan (in glossary), high-ranking Dou Sheng (generic?), Chuhuo (not in glossary), eight-star mid-stage Dou Sheng (in glossary), seven-star mid-stage Dou Sheng (possibly not in glossary; only eight-star mid-stage Dou Sheng is listed). However, they might consider seven-star mid-stage Dou Sheng as generic.

Two six-star Dou Sheng who have risen from the previous five-star level, Hao Yan, and three other five-star Dou Sheng who have risen from the four-star level.

Contains: six-star Dou Sheng (generic), five-star Dou Sheng (generic), Hao Yan (a name not in glossary). So many.

As for the four-star Dou Sheng, they consist of three unnamed Dou Sheng cultivators who have risen from the three-star Dou Sheng level, as well as the North Dragon Island Grand Elder.

Contains: four-star Dou Sheng (generic), three-star Dou Sheng (generic), North Dragon Island Grand Elder (not in glossary).

From this, it can be seen that, unlike the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan which follows an elite troop path, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan tends more toward cultivating those low-star juniors.

Contains: Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan (not in glossary), Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan (in glossary).

It seems they likely think that, having their own peak nine-star Dou Sheng Old Dragon Emperor and an eight-star mid-stage Dou Sheng Grand Elder among the high-ranking Dou Sheng, there is no need to worry about those top-tier combat powers.

Senior Dou Saint, Peak of the Nine‑Star Dou Saint, Ancient Dragon Emperor, Mid‑stage Eight‑Star Dou Saint, Grand Elder.

Therefore, in the end, they tilted resources toward the low-star juniors and Zi Yan.

Contains: low-star juniors (generic), Zi Yan (in glossary).

Of course, there may also be the factor that Chuhuo Grand Elder finds advancement difficult, making it more stable to cultivate the juniors.

Contains: Chuhuo Grand Elder (not in glossary).

But no matter what, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan ultimately took a path opposite to that of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

Contains: Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan (in glossary), Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan (not in glossary).

"If that's the case, the three clans of the Yan, Gu, and Soul together have a total of three nine-star Dou Sheng combat powers, five eight-star Dou Sheng combat powers (though questionable), six seven-star Dou Sheng combat powers, and when all other Dou Sheng are added together, it probably amounts to around eighty or ninety, right?"

Contains: Yan Clan (not in glossary), Gu Clan (?), Soul Clan (?), nine-star Dou Sheng (possibly generic), eight-star Dou Sheng (in glossary), seven-star Dou Sheng (generic?), other Dou Sheng (generic).

After a long while, Lin Feng, having finished calculating the numbers of Dou Sheng from the various sides, softly murmured.

Contains: Lin Feng (in glossary), Dou Sheng (generic).

Upon hearing those words, the faces of the several women present instantly changed involuntarily.

Contains: several women (generic).

After all, a terrifying lineup of three nine-star Dou Sheng, plus five eight-star Dou Sheng, six seven-star Dou Sheng, and nearly a hundred other Dou Sheng is enough to make them turn pale at the mere mention.

Contains: nine-star Dou Sheng (generic), eight-star Dou Sheng (in glossary), seven-star Dou Sheng (generic), other Dou Sheng (generic).

Previously, although they had fought for a long time against the equally powerful Spirit Ling Sect, that was only because they had the protection of Pingnan Pass.

Contains: Spirit Ling Sect (generic), Pingnan Pass (generic).

Because of this secure rear, the Spirit Ling Sect and others dared not even approach the pass city, so in battle they were able to fully exploit their advantage.

Contains: Spirit Ling Sect (generic), pass city (generic).

But now they no longer have that secure rear, and cannot feel at ease fighting the Spirit Ling Sect as before.

Contains: Spirit Ling Sect (generic).

After all, if you fight in the Ancient Emperor's Cave Dwelling and lose, the Soul Heaven Emperor or Gu Yuan certainly won't just watch you cross several continents and end up fleeing to the Ancient Southern Continent.

Contains: Ancient Emperor's Cave Dwelling (in glossary), Soul Heaven Emperor (not in glossary), Gu Yuan (not in glossary), Ancient Southern Continent (in glossary).

However, Lin Feng quickly began calculating his own side's combat power again.

Contains: Lin Feng (in glossary).

In their side, if allies are counted, that would be him and the Old Dragon Emperor, two nine-star Dou Sheng.

Contains: him (Lin Feng), Old Dragon Emperor (not in glossary), nine-star Dou Sheng (generic).

The eight-star Dou Sheng combat power includes six individuals: they are respectively Xiao Jiu, Cai Lin, Xiao Yixian, Qing Lin, Chuhuo Grand Elder, and Hun Yuantian.

Contains: eight-star Dou Sheng (in glossary), Xiao Jiu (not in glossary), Cai Lin (not in glossary), Xiao Yixian (in glossary), Qing Lin (not in glossary), Chuhuo Grand Elder (not in glossary), Hun Yuantian (not in glossary).

Of course, that little girl Xiao Ling was excluded by Lin Feng.

Contains: Xiao Ling (in glossary), Lin Feng (in glossary).

After all, he wants to spar with the Soul Heaven Emperor or Gu Yuan, and he will definitely need the help of that little girl Xiao Ling.

Contains: Soul Heaven Emperor (not in glossary), Gu Yuan (not in glossary), Xiao Ling (in glossary).

This way, that little girl will definitely not be able to free her hands to deal with others, so she cannot be counted as an independent combat force.

Contains: little girl (generic), him (Lin Feng).

Below the eight-star Dou Sheng, the seven-star Dou Sheng or combat power consists of: one seven-star Dou Sheng from the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, Fenghuang Tian, the Nine Netherworld Ground Ice Python Clan, the Dan Tower Three Beauties, and Yun Yun, making seven people in total.

Contains: eight-star Dou Sheng (in glossary), seven-star Dou Sheng (generic), Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan (in glossary), Fenghuang Tian (not in glossary), Nine Netherworld Ground Ice Python Clan (not in glossary), Dan Tower Three Beauties (not in glossary), Yun Yun (in glossary).

As for other Dou Sheng, Lin Feng's side still has over fifty Dou Sheng concubines, as well as over twenty puppets and fire slaves combined.

Contains: other Dou Sheng (generic), Lin Feng (in glossary), Dou Sheng concubines (generic?), puppets (generic), fire slaves (in glossary).

This is mainly because many were lost in the previous battle against the Spirit Ling Sect.

Contains: Spirit Ling Sect (generic).

Otherwise, there would certainly be more than these.

Contains: generic.

Furthermore, after the initial major battle with the Spirit Ling Sect, Lin Feng refined the souls of the collected Dou Sheng corpses together with the Stone Emperor's remnant soul into a soul origin, thereby enhancing the soul power of the Dan Tower Three Beauties.

Contains: Lin Feng (in glossary), Spirit Ling Sect (generic), Dou Sheng corpses (generic), Stone Emperor's remnant soul (not in glossary), soul origin (generic?), Dan Tower Three Beauties (not in glossary).

Otherwise, those Dou Sheng puppets could probably still be increased by another ten or so.

Contains: Dou Sheng puppets (generic).

However, regarding this matter, Lin Feng does not regret it.

Contains: Lin Feng (in glossary).

After all, if he had not enhanced the soul power of the Dan Tower Three Beauties, relying on their originally ordinary Heavenly Realm Great Perfection souls, it would also be difficult to gain an advantage against seven-star Dou Sheng.

Contains: Dan Tower Three Beauties (not in glossary), Heavenly Realm Great Perfection Soul (in glossary), seven-star Dou Sheng (generic).

Because in the subsequent battles, the seven-star Dou Sheng powerhouses either come from the Soul Clan, who are skilled in using soul power, or they are ancient clan three immortals at the peak seven-star Dou Sheng level.

Contains: seven-star Dou Sheng (generic), Soul Clan (generic), peak seven-star Dou Sheng (generic), Ancient Clan (generic), three immortals (generic).

Otherwise, if we don't strengthen them, the Dan Tower Three Beauties would really find it hard to gain an advantage against those people.

Contains: Dan Tower Three Beauties (not in glossary).

Although those bodies could not be refined by Lin Feng into human puppets, relying on his over fifty concubines, plus over twenty fire slaves and puppets, as well as the support of three other allies.

Contains: Lin Feng (in glossary), human puppets (generic?), concubines (generic), fire slaves (in glossary), puppets (generic), allies (generic).

The number of mid- to low-ranking Dou Sheng on their side is also absolutely not inferior to the combined forces of the Soul, Ancient, and Yan clans!

Contains: mid- to low-ranking Dou Sheng (generic), Soul (generic), Ancient (generic), Yan (generic), three clans (generic).

However, when mentioning the union of the three great families, Lin Feng's brows immediately furrowed.

Contains: three great families (generic), Lin Feng (in glossary).

Because he thinks that if they reveal themselves during the struggle for the Emperor-grade Infant Pill, such a situation could indeed happen.

Contains: Emperor-grade Infant Pill (not in glossary).

After all, if it were him, when he and his old rival are fighting over something, suddenly a large group of powerful enemies with unknown backgrounds would pop out.

Contains: old rival (generic).

Then his choice might also lean toward cooperating with his old rival to first deal with those suddenly appearing enemies.

Contains: old rival (generic).

Because compared to those newly popped-up mysterious enemies, he would certainly prefer to continue contending for the Emperor-grade Infant Pill with his old rival, whom he has fought for who knows how many years.

Contains: newly popped-up mysterious enemies (generic), old rival (generic), Emperor-grade Infant Pill (not in glossary).

After all, since he doesn't know the background of that new enemy, it's certainly better to eliminate them early.

Contains: new enemy (generic).

Moreover, the Soul Heaven Emperor and Gu Yuan had previously briefly cooperated while clearing out other non-bloodline Dou Sheng on the Qi Continent, setting a precedent.

Contains: Soul Heaven Emperor (not in glossary), Gu Yuan (not in glossary), Qi Continent (generic?), non-bloodline Dou Sheng (generic).

And upon thinking of this, Lin Feng's vigilance also increased another level.

Contains: Lin Feng (in glossary).

After all, besides guarding against these two allies, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, he might also have to face the union of the Soul Heaven Emperor and Gu Yuan.

Contains: Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan (not in glossary), Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan (in glossary), Soul Heaven Emperor (not in glossary), Gu Yuan (not in glossary).

Although Lin Feng currently has a marital alliance with the two major demon beast overlords.

Contains: two major demon beast overlords (generic), marital alliance (generic).

But when facing the Emperor-grade Infant Pill and the Dou Emperor inheritance, those marital alliances are almost meaningless. Moreover, although the Old Dragon Emperor feels extremely guilty toward Zi Yan, making it difficult for him to straighten his waist in her presence.

Contains: Emperor-grade Infant Pill (not in glossary), Dou Emperor (in glossary), inheritance (generic), Old Dragon Emperor (not in glossary), Zi Yan (in glossary).

However, faced with the opportunity to ascend to Dou Emperor, Lin Feng also cannot guarantee that the Old Dragon Emperor will definitely obey Zi Yan or follow the original storyline.

Contains: ascend to Dou Emperor (generic), Lin Feng (in glossary), Old Dragon Emperor (not in glossary), Zi Yan (in glossary), original storyline (generic).

Moreover, in the original storyline, the Old Dragon Emperor had not yet privately hoarded the Ancient Emperor's inheritance.

Contains: original storyline (generic), Old Dragon Emperor (not in glossary), privately hoarded (generic), Ancient Emperor's inheritance (not in glossary).

If it weren't for the Soul Heaven Emperor's imminent ascension to Dou Emperor, forcing him, there would be no way; he certainly would not tell Gu Yuan and Xiao Yan about the Ancient Emperor's inheritance.

Contains: Soul Heaven Emperor (not in glossary), ascend to Dou Emperor (generic), Gu Yuan (not in glossary), Xiao Yan (in glossary), Ancient Emperor's inheritance (not in glossary).

Although this is human nature, it is quite common in any world and can be understood.

Contains: generic.

But similarly, Lin Feng also needs to guard against the Old Dragon Emperor and his group.

Contains: Lin Feng (in glossary), Old Dragon Emperor (not in glossary).

After all, one must always be on guard against others!

Contains: generic.

"Alright, Cai Lin, you will go back to the Northwest Continent tomorrow and relocate everyone from the Heaven's Treasure Pavilion there, after all, you are most familiar with that place."

Contains: Cai Lin (not in glossary), Northwest Continent (in glossary), Heaven's Treasure Pavilion (not in glossary).

After a long while, Lin Feng immediately turned his head toward the alluring Cai Lin beside him and spoke.

Contains: Lin Feng (in glossary), Cai Lin (not in glossary).

"Okay."

Contains: generic.

Upon hearing that, Cai Lin also gently nodded her head and agreed.

Contains: Cai Lin (not in glossary).

After all, as her own man said, she is most familiar with that place, so relocating the forces would definitely be better if she were present to direct it.

Contains: her own man (generic?), she (possibly referring to Cai Lin), that place (generic), relocating forces (generic).

And after deciding on the personnel for relocating the Heaven's Treasure Pavilion to the Northwest Continent, Lin Feng then turned to Qing Lin beside him and said: "Little girl, you will be responsible for gathering the Nine Netherworld Ground Ice Python Clan on that side. As for Xian'er, you will go on a trip to the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, making them ready for battle at any time."

Northwest Continent, Tianbao Pavilion, Lin Feng, Qinglin, maid, Nine‑Abyss Earth Python Tribe, Xian'er, Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Great Void Ancient Dragon Clan.

Immediately thereafter, Lin Feng assigned each of the girls their own tasks.

Lin Feng and the girls.

Even the Three Beauties of the Pill Tower were assigned the task of refining healing medicinal pills.

After all, once the fighting starts, someone will always get hurt.

At this point, a healing medicine that can quickly restore combat power becomes especially important.

As for the women, they all nodded in agreement to the arrangements for their men.

Of course, after they finished discussing the matter, Lin Feng and the women talked and talked, and ended up on the bed.

After all, with the great battle looming, none of them knew whether they would survive this time.

Thus, they naturally treasured the time before the battle.

Lin Feng, sensing the women's thoughts, this time also gave his all, leaving all the women feeling overwhelmed.

However, the looming war clouds meant they had little time to waste.

Therefore, after their lovemaking, Cai Lin, Xiao Yixian, Qing Lin, and the three beauties of Dan Ta, the several women,

They then carried their men's full affection and went about their assigned tasks.

As for Lin Feng, he did not immediately leave the wooden hut.

Instead, after the women left, he produced the tiny gray worm he had killed earlier.

This gray flying worm was precisely the small worm that Han Yu had thrown out earlier to block his attack while trying to escape.

"I have never seen this kind of demon beast in any ancient text—what is its origin?"

After observing it for a long time, even Lin Feng, who had decent experience, ultimately could not identify the worm's origin.

However, from his brief encounter, he also learned a trait of this gray flying worm: its flight is nearly silent and extremely hard to detect.

"Judging by its traits, this worm must have been a demon beast adept at surveillance and ambush. It's a shame it's dead now; otherwise, it could have helped me monitor the Soul and Ancient clans."

Thinking of this little worm, he realized he had not noticed its presence earlier, and Lin Feng immediately shook his head in disappointment.

Unless you know about it beforehand, there are probably few people on the Dou Qi Continent who could detect such a flying worm.

After all, even though he is an emperor-soul cultivator, he failed to notice it at the time because he was unaware of its existence.

From this, it seems this little creature could have helped him monitor the Soul and Ancient clans.

"What a pity."

Immediately afterward, Lin Feng looked at the worm's corpse in his hand—less than a nanometer—and helplessly shook his head.

Then he immediately mobilized the strange fire within his body and began to calcine the tiny flying worm's corpse in his hand.

After a moment, Lin Feng left the hut and went to find Zhao Ran.

Of course, he sought Zhao Ran not to have her join the fight for the Emperor-grade Infant Pill, but to ask her to look after his two children and watch over Gu Xun'er.

After all, everyone is heading to the front lines to fight, so someone must stay behind to look after the children and guard the rear.

And the most suitable person is naturally Zhao Ran.

After all, her strength is decent, she is very close to Lin Feng, she previously helped him bring Zhao'er and Zhan'er, and she is familiar with the two children.

"Miesheng, who in the clan is responsible for the area near the Northwest Continent?"

Meanwhile, as Lin Feng and the others moved out, in a dim chamber the Soul Heaven Emperor sat on the main seat, looking down at the gathered Soul clan experts; among them, Soul Miesheng spoke in a seemingly calm tone that could not hide a hint of urgency.

"Reporting to the clan chief, Elder Soul You is currently in that region; his strength is a one-star Dou Sheng, barely meeting your requirements."

Upon hearing the inquiry, Soul Miesheng dared not delay, immediately standing up and naming a Soul clan elder.

After all, facing their clan chief, even the entire Soul clan, aside from Wu Nie Tun Yan who dares to talk back,

The others, upon seeing him, were all trembling with fear.

Therefore, Soul Miesheng naturally dared not be lax in the slightest, fearing that even a slight delay would make the clan chief unhappy.

"It doesn't matter; as long as it's a Dou Sheng, fast enough and with timely feedback, that's sufficient."

Upon hearing this, the Soul Heaven Emperor casually waved his hand, showing no concern for the star rank of the Dou Sheng named Soul You.

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately urged: "Miesheng, since he's there, notify him at once to investigate whether the ancient emperor's cave truly exists around Heijiaoyu."

As he continued, the Soul Heaven Emperor's tone could not hide his excitement.

After all, he had schemed for the ancient emperor's cave for too long, investing too much time and effort.

Now the answer is about to be revealed; even with the Soul Heaven Emperor's composure, he could not avoid excitement.

"Yes!"

Facing the order, Soul Miesheng complied and quickly walked out.

After all, as the Hall Master of the Soul Hall, he is one of the core personnel in the clan chief's plan, and he knows exactly how much the clan chief cares about the ancient emperor's cave.

Therefore, he dared not delay even a bit.

"Soul Heaven Emperor, Gu Yuan is surely still monitoring us day and night. Moreover, although your injuries have healed, his are much lighter, so he'll surely recover faster. If Heijiaoyu truly is the location of the Tuo She Gu Di Dongfu, then you'd better prepare in advance how to deal with him."

Watching Soul Miesheng leave the hall, after a moment of silence, Wu Nie Tun Yan's voice echoed faintly within.

After all, others dare not ask, but Wu Nie Tun Yan is not afraid of the former.

Of course, when he spoke, the other Soul clan experts in the hall lowered their gaze, pretending not to see him.

After all, these two great beings, even provoking one of them is unthinkable.

Since they like to chat, let them chat; just don't drag them into it.

"Hehe, no problem; this battlefield is ours to decide. I don't believe Gu Yuan could, in such a short time, move the Tian Mu across several continents to the Northwest Continent. Moreover, with your help this time, as long as you temporarily hold him off, once I obtain the embryonic Emperor Pill, this matter will be secured."

As for Wu Nie Tun Yan's words, the Soul Heaven Emperor did not get angry, but replied with a faint smile.

However, the fact is just as he said: Gu Yuan currently cannot decide the battlefield's location.

To think of moving the Tian Mu to assist is simply nonsense.

On the contrary, they now hold the right to choose the battlefield's location.

They know where the battlefield is, but the ancient clan does not.

"No problem; when the time comes, I will bring Soul Shengtian and the others to hold Gu Yuan back, while you seize the chance to grab the Emperor-grade Infant Pill. And as you said, once the Emperor Pill is in hand, with the great formation and several hidden spaces we have painstakingly laid out over thousands of years, even if Gu Yuan personally searches everywhere, it will still be enough to support you through the final step, perfecting the refinement of that Emperor Pill."

Upon hearing this, Wu Nie Tun Yan also gave a strange smile, speaking as if he were considering the Soul Heaven Emperor's interests.

As for Hun Tiandi, who had no clue about the former's thoughts, he nodded in satisfaction.

After all, as Wu Nie Tun Yan said, as long as they could get hold of that Emperor-grade Infant Pill.

By then, even if that guy Gu Yuan searched the whole world for their hidden space, it would still take a long time.

And that time would already be enough for him to perfect that Emperor-grade medicinal pill.

"Alright, there's still time now. Want to take action? You hold off Gu Yuan and his gang, I'll take Hun Shengtian and these three living dead to wipe out the Flame Clan, collect their Dou Emperor bloodline. After all, they're a major clan no inferior to the Thunder Clan; their Dou Emperor bloodline concentration definitely won't be weaker than the Thunder Clan's. If we can collect it, it'll also be of great benefit to your plan to perfect the Emperor-grade Infant Pill."

After a moment of silence, Wu Nie Tun Yan's slightly hoarse voice rang out again within this hall.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Soul Heaven Emperor on the main seat felt his heart stir.

After all, after they wiped out the Lei clan, they had indeed gathered a vast amount of Dou Emperor bloodline.

Their number even exceeds that of the two Spirit clans combined.

And the quantity of Dou Emperor bloodline is just as vital to his plan.

Therefore, faced with the temptation of the Yan clan's Dou Emperor bloodline—equal to that of the Lei clan—even he could not help but feel greatly moved!

Most importantly, Wu Nie Tun Yan has now advanced to Emperor-level soul, greatly boosting his combat power.

Let him take the three living dead; there is an excellent chance he can successfully wipe out the Yan clan and seize their entire bloodline power.

Moreover, destroying the Yan clan and killing Yan Jin, the eight-star peak Dou Saint, would also greatly weaken the Ancient clan alliance's combat power.

This way, the Soul Heaven Emperor's subsequent plans will surely go much more smoothly.

However, this excitement in the Soul Heaven Emperor's heart was quickly forcibly suppressed.

Then he sat back in the main seat, shook his head, and refused: "No, although this plan seems highly feasible, it is prone to accidents. If we fall into a trap causing you to be captured by Gu Yuan or severely injured, then our subsequent plans cannot proceed; we cannot take this risk."

Thinking that he now holds the eight pieces of the Buddha's Relic Ancient Emperor Jade, Wu Nie Tun Yan has risen to a level where he can briefly hold back Gu Yuan; everything is ready, only lacking the final catalyst.

Therefore, after hesitating, the Soul Heaven Emperor decided not to take this risk.

After all, if during the annihilation of the Yan clan, Wu Nie Tun Yan—the only other Soul clan member capable of holding back Gu Yuan—were to encounter any mishap.

Then he could not guarantee that he would be able to seize the Emperor-grade Infant Pill from Gu Yuan's hands.

In that case, he would truly be picking up sesame seeds while losing a watermelon.

Thus, finally, the Soul Heaven Emperor decided not to take such a great risk for some Dou Emperor bloodline.

"Well then, you decide."

Upon hearing this, Wu Nie Tun Yan shrugged, appearing indifferent.

However, in his heart, he was deeply disappointed.

After all, if the Soul Heaven Emperor agreed to his plan, he could eliminate the last few Elders loyal to him in the process.

And once those stubborn old-timers are dead, the Soul clan would be completely under his control.

Just a pity, the Soul Heaven Emperor won't fall for this! (End of chapter)
