Chapter 160

All along, the Soul Hall had a strict process for soul collection and submission.

Every two months, the Sub-Halls would send the collected souls to the Human Hall, the Human Hall would then send them to the Earth Hall, and the Earth Hall would be responsible for transporting the souls to the Heaven Hall, finally having Hun Miesheng personally bring these souls back to the Soul Clan to hand over to the Xuwu Tun Yan.

However, the current situation left Hun Miesheng with furrowed brows and a splitting headache.

The souls collected over the past two months, which were supposed to be handed over to the Xuwu Tun Yan in these few days, had actually been snatched away by people from the Ancient Clan.

He knew deeply how important these souls were to the Xuwu Tun Yan.

If he could not hand over these souls on time, he did not know how he would answer to the Xuwu Tun Yan.

With the implementation of the Soul Clan's thousand-year plan, the Xuwu Tun Yan's demand for souls was becoming increasingly massive, and this loss...

Hun Miesheng began to anxiously think of a countermeasure.

He knew that if he could not provide a reasonable explanation, he would face severe punishment from the Xuwu Tun Yan.

Under the deep night, Hun Miesheng's figure sped through the dark forest like a ghost.

He knew in his heart that this matter was no small thing.

The Ancient Clan had suddenly sent a Five-Star Dou Saint expert to take action; he had to report this to the Clan Leader immediately!

Therefore, he dared not have the slightest slack, and taking the trembling Dou Zun with him, he sped toward the direction of the Soul Clan.

He passed through corridor after corridor and finally arrived before Hun Tiandi's palace.

He took a deep breath, composed his emotions, and then walked in respectfully.

Hun Tiandi sat upon the great hall, his gaze deep and sharp, as if he could see through a person's soul.

When Hun Miesheng reported the ins and outs of the matter to him point by point, his brows could not help but furrow slightly.

Upon hearing this, Hun Tiandi was also somewhat surprised.

In his view, the people of the Ancient Clan were all somewhat old-fashioned; if there was nothing particularly attractive to them, they would basically stick to their rules.

However, this time they had made such an abnormal move, violating the covenant between the clans.

He even somewhat suspected whether Hun Miesheng was lying to him.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing Hun Miesheng below, his voice carrying a hint of doubt: "Are you sure that was done by someone from the Ancient Clan?"

Hun Miesheng looked up and met Hun Tiandi's gaze directly, his voice firm: "Clan Leader, the surviving Dou Zun from the Soul Hall saw with his own eyes that the person used a battle skill that is precisely the Ancient Clan's inherited battle skill—the Emperor Seal Technique! That unique aura of the battle skill absolutely cannot be wrong."

Upon hearing this, Hun Tiandi's brows locked together, a flash of confusion appearing in his eyes: "These Ancient Clan people, violating the covenant, could it be just to snatch some souls?"

Hun Miesheng said: "Clan Leader, what should we do next?"

Hun Tiandi was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Since that is the case, then we will release the news that the Ancient Clan has violated the Dou Di Family Alliance and dispatched a Five-Star Dou Saint expert to ransack the Earth Hall. In this way, the eyes of the people from the various clans will be fixed on our Soul Clan, and our plan to wipe out the Yao Clan can also be implemented more smoothly."

Upon hearing this, a flash of light appeared in Hun Miesheng's eyes, and he hurriedly lowered his head to bow: "The Clan Leader is wise!"

Hun Tiandi spoke slowly, his voice carrying an unquestionable majesty: "The Yao Clan is about to hold the Medicine Ceremony; this is a critical moment for our Soul Clan to implement our plan. You tell the people in the Soul Hall to behave themselves and not have the slightest error. If because of the people in your Soul Hall a mistake occurs and this plan is ruined..." His voice gradually deepened, but the warning within it became increasingly intense.

Hun Miesheng immediately understood Hun Tiandi's meaning; his expression tightened, and he hurriedly guaranteed: "Clan Leader, please rest assured, I will strictly manage everyone in the Soul Hall to ensure they do not make any mistakes. I will supervise personally and will never let anyone act in violation of orders."

Hun Tiandi nodded slightly, looking at Hun Miesheng with satisfaction, and waved his hand to signal him to withdraw.

On the other side, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing completed the swallowing of the Xuwu Tun Yan's Child Fire, and only then did he return to Xuwu Dragon Island with peace of mind.

After returning to Xuwu Dragon Island, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing did not rush home, but instead sped toward the direction of the Xuwu Lightning Pool.

If he remembered correctly, that Nine Profound Golden Lightning should currently be in a state of gathering spirit.

And in the state of gathering spirit, the Nine Profound Golden Lightning would be in a weakened state.

If it succeeded in gathering spirit, it would give birth to intelligence; at that time, wanting to deal with it would become much more difficult, and there would even be a possibility of it escaping.

If it did not succeed in gathering spirit and the Nine Profound Golden Lightning dissipated due to backlash, that would be a huge loss!

Therefore, he dared not have the slightest delay and rushed to the Xuwu Lightning Pool at the fastest speed.

The Xuwu Lightning Pool was a vast and boundless world where thunder surged incessantly, and the low sound of thunder rumbled like the roar of a god, constantly echoing in this world.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing stood at the edge of the lightning pool, using his Exotic Fire to condense a solid protective light shield around his body.

He did not hesitate in the slightest; with a movement of his body, he swept toward the depths of the Xuwu Lightning Pool.

During his advance, Black Demon Lightning would descend from the sky from time to time, carrying terrifying power as it struck toward Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing.

It was just that they were all dodged by Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing or blocked by Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's Exotic Fire protection.

However, when these Black Demon Lightning bolts touched Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's Exotic Fire shield, they were like encountering a nemesis, being shaken into fine lightning arcs.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing discovered with surprise that after these lightning arcs scattered, they did not dissipate into the air but were quickly absorbed by his Exotic Fire Spirit.

He did nothing, yet those lightning arcs were actually refined by the Exotic Fire Spirit, finally converting them into pure energy and feeding it back to Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing.

It seems that after swallowing the Child Fire of the Xuwu Tun Yan, the Exotic Fire Spirit not only gained the ability to swallow but could also actively swallow.

This discovery made Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing incredibly joyful.

He realized that ever since swallowing the Child Fire of the Xuwu Tun Yan, his Exotic Fire Spirit not only gained the ability to swallow but also possessed the ability to actively swallow and refine.

This meant that as long as he could successfully obtain the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, he could let the Exotic Fire Spirit refine it on its own, while he himself could go do other things without being affected in the slightest.

Of course, if Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing personally controlled the Exotic Fire Spirit to perform the refining, the speed of refining would naturally be a bit faster.

However, with this ability to refine automatically, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing could respond to various situations more flexibly and would no longer need to worry about unexpected situations that might occur during the refining process.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing decisively passed through the Black Demon Lightning area, not stopping for long, and headed straight toward the depths.

This Black Demon Lightning would not run away; he could swallow it whenever he wanted.

The Nine Profound Golden Lightning was at the critical moment of gathering spirit; this was a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity.

If he missed this opportunity, once the Nine Profound Golden Lightning succeeded in gathering spirit, it would become even more difficult to deal with.

The most urgent task now was to take down the Nine Profound Golden Lightning.

Therefore, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing dared not have the slightest delay; he quickened his pace and rapidly approached the depths of the lightning pool.

Arriving at a black area, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing suddenly stopped his steps.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing arrived at this black area, and his gaze was instantly attracted by the giant dragon with a golden body not far away.

Golden lightning constantly splashed out from the giant dragon's body, emitting a dazzling light that was shocking to behold.

"Nine Profound Golden Lightning!" Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's heart stirred, and he immediately recognized the identity of this giant dragon.

At this time, the golden giant dragon had its eyes tightly shut, and an aura no weaker than Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's was spreading out from its body.

"It seems the Nine Profound Golden Lightning is still gathering spirit..." Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that he had arrived at just the right time.
