299. Chapter 299: Soul Clan Retreats! Spirit Clan Offers Thanks!

In an instant, Ling Yuan was choked up by this sentence from Hun Tiandi.

That's right!

On this continent, weakness is a crime!

As a Clan Leader, she should have understood this.

For so many years, her own cultivation had been slow to break through.

Thinking of this, Ling Yuan bit her lip hard, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. Void Swallowing Flame's massive black-flame body swayed slightly, emitting a chilling, low laugh.

Seeming to see through Ling Yuan's thoughts, he said, "Heh, just some ants. If they die, they die; living is just suffering!"

A trace of disdain flashed in Void Swallowing Flame's eyes, which were as deep as black holes, and he spoke slowly.

This sentence was like a sharp knife, stabbing fiercely into the heart of every member of the Spirit Clan.

The members of the Spirit Clan, who had originally calmed down, were once again plunged into extreme anger and sorrow.

Countless members of the Spirit Clan had blood-red eyes, staring fixedly at Void Swallowing Flame's massive body, their eyes filled with the flames of hatred.

Their relatives and friends had just died tragically at the hands of this demon, and now they were being humiliated like this; this pain and anger almost burned their sanity to ashes.

Ling Yuan's petite body trembled slightly, a flash of grief and indignation appearing in her beautiful eyes.

As Clan Leader, she could understand the feelings of her clansmen at this moment better than anyone else.

Looking at those grief-stricken clansmen, Ling Yuan felt as if her heart were being cut by a knife.

"Void Swallowing Flame, my Spirit Clan and you are irreconcilable enemies. In my lifetime, I will definitely exterminate you!"

Ling Yuan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in her heart, and looked up directly at Void Swallowing Flame, saying every word clearly.

Although Ling Yuan's voice was not loud, this sentence was spoken with exceptional clarity.

Those beautiful eyes, usually gentle, were now filled with cold killing intent, as if they wanted to freeze the demon Void Swallowing Flame completely.

"Hahahaha..."

"Just impotent rage!"

However, facing Ling Yuan's vow, Void Swallowing Flame once again let out a hair-raising laugh.

"Today, if not for Gu Yuan's intervention, the Spirit Clan would have been completely erased from this world. How would you still have the chance to speak now?"

Void Swallowing Flame's massive body swayed slightly, and the surrounding black flames churned and roared, as if mocking the Spirit Clan for overestimating their own strength.

This sentence was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, and the anger of the Spirit Clan members was ignited once again. Countless clansmen glared, wishing they could tear Void Swallowing Flame into pieces.

However, the people of the Spirit Clan also knew in their hearts that what Void Swallowing Flame said was the truth.

If Gu Yuan had not arrived in time, the Spirit Clan would indeed have been wiped out. Just as the atmosphere was tense, Ling Yuan suddenly turned to Hun Tiandi, a sharp light flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Back then, our seven clans stood together against the Xiao Clan, and the Xiao Clan was forced to split the Ancient Jade into eight pieces. Now, what your Soul Clan is doing is trying to seize all the Ancient Jade, which has already threatened the other six clans. The six clans will not tolerate you!"

Ling Yuan's crisp and melodious voice echoed between heaven and earth. That's right!

As Clan Leader, she must remain steady now! There was no time to think of anything else. Ling Yuan's words were spoken with great force, every word worth its weight in gold.

She knew very well that with the Spirit Clan's strength, they could not threaten the Soul Clan at all.

The purpose of these words was to gather the strength of the other five clans to deal with the Soul Clan together.

Now, relying on the great mountain that is the Ancient Clan, she had to find a way to make Hun Tiandi retreat in the face of difficulties.

After all, no matter how strong this Hun Tiandi was, he would not be stupid enough to confront six clans at the same time.

After hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Hun Tiandi's eyes, which were as deep as an abyss.

"Seizing the Ancient Jade makes one intolerable to everyone? Then why haven't I seen anyone go to exterminate the Ancient Clan? The Xiao Clan's Ancient Jade was long ago snatched by the Ancient Clan!" The next moment, Hun Tiandi snorted coldly, a mocking smile curling the corners of his mouth.

This sentence was like a heavy bomb, instantly throwing the problem onto the Ancient Clan.

After all, it was an indisputable fact that the Ancient Clan had taken the Xiao Clan Ancient Jade! Now that Hun Tiandi said this, it was nothing more than trying to pin a label on the Ancient Clan. "My Ancient Clan and the Xiao Clan have always had a good relationship. Now that the Xiao Clan has declined, the descendants of the Xiao Clan have placed the Ancient Jade in the Ancient Clan's safekeeping. What is wrong with that?"

However, Gu Yuan remained calm. His majestic gaze swept over everyone present, and he spoke slowly.

"It is your Soul Clan that is the one truly snatching by force, not hesitating to wipe out the Spirit Clan and using the evil ability of the Spirit Devouring Clan to plunder the Dou Di Bloodline! I think if the secret of the Spirit Devouring Clan were spread, no one in the world would stand on the side of the Soul Clan."

Seeing that Hun Tiandi did not speak, Gu Yuan continued.

As his voice fell, the powerful pressure on Gu Yuan's body swept across the entire scene once again in an instant.

It seems this Gu Yuan is determined to protect the Spirit Clan today. Hun Tiandi frowned at this moment.

"So that's how it is..."

"That power from just now..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place was in an uproar. Everyone was stunned by the secret revealed by Gu Yuan.

Even some Spirit Clan Elders showed expressions of horror, clearly unaware of this secret.

Recalling the devouring power from just now, everyone suddenly realized.

"Yes, compared to seizing the Ancient Jade, that evil ability of the Spirit Devouring Clan is absolutely unforgivable!"

Hearing this, Ling Yuan's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise, and she immediately reacted.

The Xiao Clan had declined for many years and could not protect the Ancient Jade; there was nothing wrong with the Ancient Clan taking over. But the Soul Clan's actions were unforgivable.

Ling Yuan naturally understood this point.

This sentence directly choked Hun Tiandi back.

At this moment, Hun Tiandi was left speechless. With Gu Yuan's intervention, plus the other clans... he had to carefully weigh the pros and cons now. "Hmph, enough talk!"

After a moment, Hun Tiandi snorted coldly, said nothing more, and turned to leave with Void Swallowing Flame and Hun Xuzi.

In an instant, a black light flashed.

Hun Tiandi and the others disappeared from where they stood. With the retreat of the Soul Clan, the entire Spirit Realm finally returned to peace.

At this moment, Ling Yuan took a deep breath, turned to face Gu Yuan, and bowed respectfully: "Clan Leader Gu Yuan, thank you. My Spirit Clan will never forget this great kindness!"

Following Ling Yuan's action, all the members of the Spirit Clan also knelt down one after another to pay their respects to Gu Yuan.

"Many thanks to Clan Leader Gu Yuan for the grace of saving my life!"

"No need for such formalities! This time, had it not been for Gu Fei sending word and crushing the Space Jade Slip, I would not have been able to arrive in time!"

Facing the gratitude of the Spirit Clan members, Gu Yuan did not put on airs and spoke very courteously.

Hearing Gu Yuan mention Gu Fei, Ling Yuan's gaze immediately turned toward Gu Fei, who was to the side, and began to look him up and down.

"I have long heard that the Young Clan Leader of the Ancient Clan possesses heaven-sent talent; seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary!"

Ling Yuan exclaimed. This was not just polite flattery toward Gu Fei; Gu Fei truly made Ling Yuan feel extremely shocked.

One must know that Ling Yuan was several hundred years older than Gu Fei, yet Gu Fei's cultivation level was on par with his own.

Such talent is truly rare in a thousand years, unheard of and unseen!
