298. Chapter 298: Exposing the Soul Clan's Conspiracy!

Boom!

Just as these two massive energies collided, the heavens and earth lost their color, and the sun and moon lost their light.

Two terrifyingly extreme powers raged wildly in the void, and the surrounding space shattered inch by inch like fragile glass.

Countless spatial fragments drifted in mid-air, resembling a bizarre rain of space.

A massive shockwave swept in all directions; the mountain peaks on the ground collapsed one after another, and the earth trembled violently, as if a magnitude-nine earthquake had occurred. Countless members of the Spirit Clan were blown away by this powerful blast of air, falling to the ground in a sorry state.

As the aftershocks of the two palm prints gradually dissipated, the heavens and earth returned to calm. However, the destruction caused by that strike was clearly visible. Within a radius of several dozen miles, not a blade of grass remained, the mountains and rivers were shattered, and it was a scene of utter devastation.

Ling Yuan stared at this astonishing scene, dumbfounded, a trace of shock and terror flashing through her beautiful eyes.

"Who is it that could actually neutralize Clan Leader Gu Yuan's palm strike?"

Ling Yuan's petite body trembled involuntarily, her voice filled with disbelief.

That's right, looking across the entire continent.

There are very few people who can neutralize this palm strike from Gu Yuan. As the Spirit Clan Leader, Ling Yuan is extremely sensitive to the aura of powerhouses.

Ling Yuan could naturally feel clearly that within that spatial rift, there was a terrifying aura that made one's heart palpitate. That aura was so powerful that it was not even inferior to Gu Yuan's!

How could it be... "It couldn't be..."

Ling Yuan whispered to herself. The other Spirit Clan Elders also wore expressions of horror, discussing the matter in hushed tones. They never imagined that on this Dou Qi Continent, there would still be someone who could contend with Gu Yuan.

However, unlike the shock of the Spirit Clan members, a look of wild joy appeared on Hun Xuzi's sinister face.

"Hun Tiandi, you finally arrived!"

Hun Xuzi shouted aloud, excitement flashing in his eyes, which were filled with schemes.

Hearing this name, Void Swallowing Flame's massive black-flame body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in his heart.

"Hun Tiandi has finally arrived."

"If he hadn't come, I'm afraid I would have been finished here."

A trace of relief flashed in Void Swallowing Flame's eyes, which were as deep as black holes, and his low, hoarse voice carried a sense of release.

"Hun Tiandi?"

Except for Gu Yuan and Gu Fei, everyone present was stunned by this name.

The influence of this name on the current Dou Qi Continent is in no way inferior to Gu Yuan's.

The great name of Hun Tiandi is not something to be trifled with.

The current Clan Leader of the Soul Clan among the Ancient Eight Clans, one of the five strongest powerhouses on the Dou Qi Continent a thousand years ago!

He is only one step away from the Dou Di level... Could it be that today, two great powerhouses are going to meet at my Spirit Clan? Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, a figure slowly walked out from that spatial rift.

The person who arrived had a tall and straight stature, wearing a long black robe that fluttered without wind, with eerie black mist swirling around his body.

In particular, his handsome face carried a hint of evil charm, and his eyes, deep as an abyss, flashed with a light that made one's heart palpitate.

As soon as Hun Tiandi appeared, the entire world seemed to fall silent.

His terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire battlefield, and even the air seemed to solidify.

"Gu Yuan, I am quite surprised that you were able to detect this so quickly!"

Hun Tiandi's gaze was like a torch as he looked straight at Gu Yuan, the corners of his mouth curling into a playful smile.

"Surprised? What your Soul Clan has been hiding is what surprises me even more..."

Gu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, a trace of mockery flashing in his majestic eyes.

Hearing Gu Yuan say this, Hun Tiandi also frowned slightly. "Back then, the last Clan Leader of the Ancient Spirit Clan was killed by your Soul Clan. I didn't expect that he would be devoured by Void Swallowing Flame, thereby allowing Void Swallowing Flame to possess the Spirit Devouring Clan's ability!" Gu Yuan's voice was as calm as water, yet it contained astonishing pressure.

"No wonder that for countless years, so many Ancient Races have declined, while only your Soul Clan has remained prosperous."

As Gu Yuan stated the secrets hidden by the Soul Clan one by one, Hun Tiandi's expression gradually became grave.

A trace of surprise flashed in Hun Tiandi's deep eyes; clearly, he had not expected that a secret the Soul Clan had hidden so deeply would be exposed by Gu Yuan in a single sentence.

He had thought the Soul Clan's plan was flawless, but he never expected that it would be detected by Gu Yuan just as it had begun. After this battle, the other Ancient Races would surely be on guard, and finding such an opportunity again would be as difficult as ascending to heaven!

Just as the two top powerhouses were confronting each other, a heartwarming scene was unfolding on the other side of the battlefield.

"Aunt!"

Ling Xi's slender figure was like a bolt of white lightning, instantly arriving beside Ling Lu and her husband.

Her clear, beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was full of longing and worry.

"Xi'er!"

Seeing Ling Xi, tears of joy welled up in Ling Lu's beautiful eyes. She opened her arms directly and pulled Ling Xi tightly into her embrace. "You've grown up!"

Ling Lu's voice was full of doting. "Xi'er, this time, your aunt and I almost never got to see you again."

Ling Qingshan stood to the side, watching the two hugging and weeping, and gently patted Ling Xi on the shoulder.

"Aunt, Uncle, actually, being able to arrive in time this time is all thanks to Master..."

"A few days ago, Xianle and Wushuang mentioned to Master that I was a bit homesick. After hearing this, Master decided to bring me back to visit my family."

"Who knew we would happen to run into this kind of thing? Seeing that the situation was not right, Master immediately invited Ancient Clan Leader Gu Yuan to come and help."

Ling Xi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said softly.

"Come to think of it, we really must thank Young Master Gu Fei, as well as Young Master Gu Fei's son and daughter this time! If it weren't for them, I'm afraid my Spirit Clan would have..."

After listening to Ling Xi's account, Ling Lu could not help but be filled with emotion.

Ling Lu's voice stopped abruptly, a trace of lingering fear flashing in her eyes.

That's right!

If Gu Fei hadn't arrived in time, the Spirit Clan would likely have been wiped out today. Just at this moment, Ling Yuan's angry roar suddenly came from the sky.

"Hun Tiandi, your Soul Clan is so despicable and shameless; I will definitely make this matter public!"

Ling Yuan's petite figure was seen hovering in mid-air, flames of anger flashing in her beautiful eyes as she pointed at Hun Tiandi and shouted sternly.

"Ling Yuan, there is no need to speak so severely; this time, it was merely a small joke."

Facing Ling Yuan's angry rebuke, Hun Tiandi was indifferent.

A trace of mockery flashed through his deep eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled into a playful smile.

Although this joke was stated lightly, it was exceptionally true: on this continent, the strong have always held the highest status! Before a powerhouse like Hun Tiandi, the weak Spirit Clan were nothing more than pawns to be manipulated at will. "A joke? My Spirit Clan was nearly exterminated, and you tell me it was a joke?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan immediately trembled with rage.

"In this battle, my Spirit Clan suffered countless casualties; how many clansmen bear a blood feud!"

"Hun Tiandi! For what you have done today, the Spirit Clan will never let this rest in the future!"

Ling Yuan's voice carried a bone-deep hatred.

"Heh, that remains to be seen, depending on whether your Spirit Clan has the strength for it."

Watching Ling Yuan's furious appearance, Hun Tiandi gave a slight smile. (End of chapter)
