Chapter 120: Powerhouses of the Soul and Ancient Clans
He questioned in a deep voice: "Hun Ye, you suddenly appeared here; what exactly is your meaning?"
"Have you forgotten the covenant of your clans?" Jiang Cheng's face sank, attempting to use the covenant to restrain Hun Ye.
However, Hun Ye sneered disdainfully: "Hehe, what does a covenant count for in the face of true benefits? In this world, only strength is the hard truth."
"Stop the nonsense, Jiang Cheng, let your grandson hand over the Bodhi Seeds, and I will let you go; otherwise, don't blame my Soul Clan for being impolite!" Hun Ye did not want to fight Jiang Cheng, because there was more than just him who had caught up.
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "You and I are both Six-Star Dou Saint Late Stage; if I don't hand them over, what can you do to me?"
Hun Ye heard this, and a flash of dread crossed his eyes. He indeed dreaded Jiang Cheng's strength; if they really fought, the outcome would be hard to predict.
"Jiang Cheng, if you give me the Bodhi Seeds now, I can give you two." Hun Ye compromised.
Jiang Cheng was right; if he fought with him, it would definitely take a lot of time.
By then, powerhouses from other clans would arrive and would definitely want to take some Bodhi Seeds away; this was not what Hun Ye wanted.
Gu Song—this name was not unfamiliar to Hun Ye.
"Hmph, Hun Ye, your abacus is really loud; I could hear it from far away."
He didn't expect to meet again here today, and looking at Gu Song's aura, he seemed even more formidable than he was back then.
As soon as his words fell, the surrounding atmosphere instantly became tense. Hun Ye's face also became gloomy; he knew that Gu Song's appearance had disrupted his plan.
They had once been powerhouses of the same era, experiencing countless storms together.
Hun Ye looked in the direction of the voice, and when he saw the face of the white-bearded old man clearly, a flash of surprise couldn't help but cross his eyes. He said differently: "Gu Song? I didn't expect you to still be alive."
Following the fall of the voice, a figure gradually solidified from the void and appeared.
That was a white-bearded old man, with hair and beard all white, yet he was spirited; a pair of eyes were bright and piercing, as if they could see through all falsehoods in the world. He wore a green robe, his robe hem fluttering, quite possessing the temperament of a celestial being.
Hun Ye couldn't help but think it was bad; this Gu Song's strength was similar to his, both at the Six-Star Dou Saint Late Stage level.
So Hun Ye weighed the pros and cons in his heart and finally decided to compromise, intending to give Jiang Cheng two Bodhi Seeds.
Furthermore, powerhouses from other clans were approaching, and the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for him.
If Gu Song intervened, he probably wouldn't be able to monopolize the Bodhi Seeds today.
At this moment, a cold laugh came through the air.
Gu Song looked at Hun Ye, a mocking smile appearing on his face. He said faintly: "Hehe, you haven't died, so how could I possibly die? If I died, who would stop the ambition of your Soul Clan?"
However, Gu Song had disappeared without a trace many years ago, his life or death unknown, and Hun Ye had originally thought he had fallen.
And after Gu Song finished mocking, he said to Jiang Cheng: "Jiang Cheng, you know clearly in your heart that the reputation of the Soul Clan in this continent is nothing but a joke. If you hand over the Bodhi Seeds easily, they will definitely find excuses in the future to take back those two Bodhi Seeds. You should understand this principle better than I do."
"Why don't you consider handing the Bodhi Seeds to me? I will also pay you two Bodhi Seeds, and I can guarantee you that I will absolutely not go back on my word like the Soul Clan."
Once these words were spoken, Hun Ye's face instantly became as cold as frost, and his eyes flickered with anger and unwillingness.
He understood in his heart that if it were really as Gu Song said, and Jiang Cheng handed the Bodhi Seeds to Gu Song, then his Soul Clan would probably really end up with nothing.
Between the two of them, their words all revealed their covetousness and determination to obtain the Bodhi Seeds.
Jiang Cheng stood on the spot, his face gloomy like water.
But right now, both of these people were Six-Star Dou Saint Late Stage existences; for the safety of his grandson and granddaughter-in-law, he couldn't fall out with these two.
It was only at this moment that Jiang Cheng felt a sense of frustration for his insufficient strength and inability to protect his grandson and granddaughter-in-law.
Listening to Gu Song and Hun Ye treating him like a fish on a chopping block, he tightly gripped his fists inside his sleeves, his nails digging deep into his flesh.
Just as a sense of resolution welled up in Jiang Cheng's heart, preparing to step forward to block Gu Song and Hun Ye and let Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing and Cai Lin escape first, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.
"Bodhi Seeds, I can give them to you." Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's voice carried a hint of helplessness.
He also hadn't expected that the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan would actually disregard the covenant for the sake of the Bodhi Seeds and both send a Six-Star Dou Saint Late Stage powerhouse to compete for this opportunity of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
Along this journey, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing had walked quite smoothly, thanks to his knowledge of the plot, and many difficulties had been cleverly resolved by him.
However, the accident at this moment made him realize that he had been too complacent.
He looked around, calculating in his heart.
Gu Song and Hun Ye's strength was equivalent to his grandfather's; if he handed over the Bodhi Seeds, they shouldn't continue to pester them. After all, their main purpose for this trip was for the Bodhi Seeds.
Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing sighed lightly, feeling unwilling in his heart, but he could only do this. He comforted himself that as long as the Bodhi Heart was still there, there was still hope for everything. Consequently, he walked out slowly, preparing to hand over the Bodhi Seeds.
Hun Ye's eyes flickered with fanatical light; his voice was urgent and carried unquestionable majesty as he said to Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing: "Brat, the Bodhi Seeds in your hand must be handed to me immediately."
Hun Ye's words revealed an unquestionable domineering air, as if these Bodhi Seeds were originally his own possessions.
"You should know clearly what the reputation of the Soul Clan is like; handing the Bodhi Seeds to my Ancient Clan is the wisest choice." Gu Song's voice was peaceful and powerful, revealing an unquestionable confidence.
Hun Ye heard this, his face instantly became gloomy; he stared coldly at Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing and threatened: "You better think clearly; offending my Soul Clan will be an unbearable disaster for you and your family." His tone was full of threats and intimidation, as if he wanted to scare Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing.
"Hmph, what does your Soul Clan count for? If you hand the Bodhi Seeds to me, I can guarantee that your Jiang Family can move to the Ancient Realm in the future. There, even the Soul Clan wouldn't dare to easily provoke you." Gu Song said.
Letting the Jiang Family move to the Ancient Realm was not Gu Song just painting a pie in the sky.
Gu Song's eyes flickered with essence, and he had his own calculations in his heart.
In his view, Jiang Cheng's Six-Star Dou Saint Late Stage strength was already a rare help for the Ancient Clan, and Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing breaking through to the Dou Saint realm at such a young age made Gu Song even more moved by this talent and potential.
Regarding the matter of winning over the Jiang Family, Gu Song already had a decision in his heart.
He knew deeply that the Clan Leader would definitely gladly accept such a strong reinforcement.
Therefore, he hadn't even had the thought of reporting to the Clan Leader, and had already made up his mind to incorporate the Jiang Family as an affiliate of the Ancient Clan.
