293. Chapter 293: Clan Extermination Crisis!

At this moment, everyone in the Spirit Clan realized that this Hun Xuzi had been holding something back.

Several Spirit Clan Dou Saint Elders began to discuss the matter.

However, even so, the cultivation of the Spirit Clan Clan Leader, Ling Yuan, was still above that of Hun Xuzi. Atop the mountain peak, Ling Lu and his wife watched the tense standoff in the sky with grave expressions.

The originally peaceful and tranquil Spirit World was now shrouded in a haze; wild winds howled and dark clouds rolled, as if signaling that some disaster was about to descend.

"Qingshan, the situation seems very bad."

Ling Lu's slender, jade-like hands gripped Ling Qingshan's sleeves tightly, a trace of unease flashing through her beautiful eyes.

"Don't worry, with the Clan Leader here, there shouldn't be much of a problem."

Ling Qingshan gently patted his wife's hand to comfort her, but at this moment, his own eyes were filled with deep anxiety.

That's right!

Since this Hun Xuzi was able to come here, it was definitely not that simple.

It looked like the Clan Leader was indeed holding the fort, but he always felt that this Hun Xuzi was somewhat eerie. Their cultivations were actually very close, but the Clan Leader's cultivation happened to be one step above Hun Xuzi's.

If it were just Hun Xuzi alone, then it should be manageable.

But, what if it wasn't just Hun Xuzi who came here! Thinking of this, Ling Qingshan clenched his fists slightly.

In the sky, Spirit Clan Clan Leader Ling Yuan stood in the air, her white robes snapping in the gale.

Ling Yuan's wise eyes stared fixedly at the Hun Xuzi opposite her. "Hun Xuzi, you come to my Spirit World to run wild; what exactly is your intention?"

"Do you think my Spirit Clan is afraid of you, Hun Xuzi?!!"

Ling Yuan's voice was as sharp as cold ice. Although Hun Xuzi had revealed the strength of a Seven-Star Fighting Saint Early-Stage, Ling Yuan did not show much panic.

After all, as a Clan Leader, Ling Yuan was still able to keep her composure. At such a critical moment, she absolutely could not lose her footing; once she panicked, the entire Spirit Clan would collapse in an instant.

Now, what she had to do was naturally to remain steady. Following Ling Yuan's recent questioning, the entire Spirit World fell into a deathly silence. Countless clansmen looked up at the sky, gazing at Hun Xuzi and Ling Yuan.

That's right!

This Hun Xuzi coming to the Spirit Clan must have a purpose.

"Hehe, I have no ill intentions in coming to the Spirit World!"

"I just... want to borrow the Spirit Clan Ancient Jade for a use!"

Hun Xuzi scanned his surroundings, a wicked smile curling at the corners of his mouth as he spoke slowly.

The next moment, Hun Xuzi hovered in mid-air, his black robes fluttering without wind, and a chilling aura that made one's heart palpitate permeated his body.

This simple sentence was like a heavy bomb, instantly exploding in the Spirit World.

At this moment, everyone's expression changed. Hehe!

No ill intentions?

What kind of bullshit is that!

Who in the entire continent doesn't know what this Tuoshe Ancient God Jade is? That is the key to the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion!

It is said that it contains supreme treasures that can allow one to advance to Dou Di. Back then, the Ancient Jade was fought over by the entire continent, and in the end, the Ancient Jade was split into eight pieces, with each of the Ancient Eight Clans taking one to keep. Now, it is even more of a supreme treasure to the Ancient Eight Clans! Every clan treats it as a precious treasure, keeping it with extreme care; even the ordinary Elders in the clan rarely get to see it.

Such a heavy treasure, is it something that can be borrowed just because one says so?

"Hun Xuzi, do you know what you are saying?"

Upon hearing this, cold light flared in Ling Yuan's eyes, and her voice was so cold it seemed to freeze the air.

"Hehe, Clan Leader Ling Yuan, the Tuoshe Ancient God Jade is an ominous object. Keeping it in the Spirit World will only bring disaster upon you. If you hand it to me, trading it for peace might be better, right?"

Facing Ling Yuan's sharp gaze, Hun Xuzi only smiled. These words clearly carried a hint of mockery. What this meant could not be clearer.

It was nothing more than saying that your Spirit Clan is simply too weak and has no qualifications to keep this Tuoshe Ancient God Jade!

If you hand it over, you could at least trade for a path of survival for the Spirit Clan.

After all, as one of the Ancient Eight Clans, the Spirit Clan naturally has some foundation.

Now that they have suffered such a great insult, how can they endure it!

Once these words were spoken, the Spirit World was in an uproar. Many clansmen looked at each other, their eyes filled with anger.

This Hun Xuzi actually dared to be so arrogant!

Is my Spirit Clan the type to fear death and cling to life!

"Hun Xuzi, it seems today is the day to give you a lesson!"

Ling Yuan could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, and the aura around her body erupted suddenly.

The Spirit Clan has suffered such a great insult; as the Clan Leader, if she does not act now, how will the Spirit Clan stand on this continent in the future!!! Before her voice faded, Ling Yuan had already rushed toward Hun Xuzi like an arrow released from a bow. Her slender figure left a graceful arc in the air, and she arrived before Hun Xuzi in an instant.

"Boom!"

Ling Yuan's jade hand formed a claw and grabbed down at Hun Xuzi's head. This claw appeared gentle, but it contained astonishing power, as if it could tear space apart.

Hun Xuzi let out a cold snort, his figure flashed, and he barely avoided this fatal blow. The two of them traded blows in mid-air, clashing fiercely; every collision caused the heavens and earth to change color and wild winds to howl.

However, what made Ling Yuan feel surprised was that Hun Xuzi's strength was actually even more formidable than she had imagined. Although she held the upper hand, she was unable to defeat him in a short time.

This was no wonder; one was a Seven-Star Fighting Saint Early-Stage, and the other was a Seven-Star Dou Saint Mid-Stage.

To decide the winner, it would likely be a protracted battle. Seeing that it was hard to determine a winner for the moment, the other Dou Saint powerhouses of the Spirit Clan could no longer sit still.

"Attack together!"

Following the order, several figures soared into the air and besieged Hun Xuzi.

Instantly, brilliant light radiated in mid-air, energy surged, and the scene was spectacular.

Under the joint efforts of the many powerhouses of the Spirit Clan, Hun Xuzi finally showed signs of decline.

This guy's figure became disheveled, his robes were torn, and a trace of blood even seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"Lord Niwu should be succeeding soon!"

However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, Hun Xuzi suddenly looked up and laughed. This crazy laughter carried a hint of eerie triumph, making everyone present feel a sense of palpitation.

Just at this moment, a series of shrill, miserable screams suddenly traveled from the distant horizon. That sound was filled with despair and terror, making anyone who heard it shudder.

"What is happening?"

The expressions of the Spirit Clan Elders gathered here were extremely ugly. Because they clearly heard that those miserable screams were coming from the clansmen of the Spirit Clan! Before they could even react, the distant sky was suddenly shrouded by a pitch-black darkness. It was a heart-palpitating darkness, as if it could swallow all light.

"Whoosh!"

Endless black flames seeped out from the void, sweeping over like a tidal wave. In the blink of an eye, the entire sky was covered by these terrifying black flames, and the world between heaven and earth instantly plunged into darkness.

"What is this?"

Facing this sudden turn of events, even on the face of Ling Yuan, a look of panic finally appeared. Those eyes of hers, which were usually always filled with wisdom, were now full of shock and confusion.

"Ling Yuan, after today, there will be no more Spirit Clan in this world!"

Hun Xuzi watched this scene before him, the smile on his face becoming increasingly ferocious.
