Chapter 173: Soul Clan Blitzes Yao Clan
Since Dou Di Clans often acted low-key and did not easily get involved in secular disputes, their true strength was often unknown to outsiders.
In contrast, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, as one of the three major families in the magic beast world, had its clan members frequently active in Zhongzhou, making their strength more well-known to everyone.
Everyone knew that the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan possessed Dou Saint experts, and a small number of people knew that the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan had reached the terrifying realm of Five-Star Dou Saint.
Such strength was an incomparably powerful existence in Zhongzhou and even the entire Dou Qi Continent.
However, it was such a powerful clan that was suddenly destroyed, which undoubtedly triggered countless discussions.
With the destruction of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, the news of its patriarch being a Five-Star Dou Saint and the fall of this powerful force quickly became a hot topic in Zhongzhou and even the Dou Qi Continent.
People speculated about who the force that could possess such strength and destroy the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan was.
Some mentioned forces that had grievances with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, trying to find clues from them.
However, when a certain name was about to be blurted out, it was hurriedly interrupted by the person next to them, fearing to bring unnecessary trouble.
"Are you stupid? Who else could have grievances with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and be able to destroy them?" Such conversations appeared frequently in private.
"Could it be Taixu..."
"Don't drag me down if you want to die, kid!"
The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan were both behemoths, and their grievances were by no means something outsiders could easily get involved in.
Once words were careless, it was very likely to bring about a disaster of death.
Therefore, when discussing this topic, people were often cautious and tight-lipped, fearing that it might bring about unnecessary disaster.
And the Dou Di Clans, which had been in a stalemate, also had their attention attracted.
The Four-Clan Alliance's search for the Soul Realm in Zhongzhou had been going on for a long time, but no breakthrough progress had been made so far.
This predicament made the Yao Clan feel anxious; they knew the threat of the Soul Clan to the Yao Clan and hoped to eradicate this scourge as soon as possible.
However, because the Yao Clan's own strength was relatively weak, their right to speak in the alliance was also restricted, which made their actions appear even more difficult.
Yao Dan believed that the Soul Clan might be observing in the dark, looking for a suitable opportunity to counterattack or continue its conspiracy.
However, the Ancient Clan held a different view.
They believed that the exposure of the Soul Clan's operation this time had already put them in a passive position, and they should not risk another operation in a short time.
Therefore, the Ancient Clan was more inclined to take a defensive stance, waiting for the Soul Clan to reveal more flaws before striking.
This disagreement triggered quite a bit of controversy within the Four-Clan Alliance.
On one hand, the Yao Clan hoped to increase the search intensity, find the location of the Soul Realm as soon as possible, and eradicate it; on the other hand, the Ancient Clan advocated maintaining caution to avoid falling into the Soul Clan's trap due to being too aggressive.
Since the Xiao Clan encountered misfortune a thousand years ago, the Soul Clan suffered heavy losses, but the Ancient Clan took this opportunity to rise and become the first clan group of the Dou Di Clans.
The degree of their pride naturally went without saying. Even now, the Ancient Clan still believed that the strength of the Soul Clan was about the same as the Ancient Clan.
The establishment of the Four-Clan Alliance pushed this strength advantage to a new height.
The Four-Clan Alliance's strength far exceeded the Soul Clan, and it was reasonable for the Soul Clan to shrink back and not dare to come out.
One couldn't just stop developing for the sake of searching for the Soul Clan, right?
Therefore, the Ancient Clan proposed a plan for each clan to send a small number of experts to continue searching for the Soul Clan in Zhongzhou, which both maintained continuous pressure on the Soul Clan and avoided the excessive concentration and waste of alliance resources.
At the same time, this plan also allowed other members to return to their clans to cultivate, focusing on the improvement of their own strength, and making fuller preparations for future battles. The Yan Clan and the Lei Clan felt this was a feasible plan.
In the Dou Qi Continent where strength is supreme, no clan could ignore the importance of its own development.
Yao Dan was unwilling, but his words carried little weight, and he had no way to change anything.
Finally, the four clans opened up space channels and indicated that they would observe the situation of the channels at all times, and would rush over quickly as long as there was any situation.
Such an arrangement also meant that the Four-Clan Alliance had already existed in name only to a certain extent.
Although they still maintained a certain degree of contact and cooperation, the actual actions and decisions had been dispersed to each clan.
Therefore, when several major clans temporarily relaxed their vigilance against the Soul Clan due to the changes in the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and shifted their attention to this matter, the Soul Clan was like a poisonous snake in the dark night, silently unfolding their revenge and expansion plan.
The Yao Clan, the weakest existence in the Four-Clan Alliance, unfortunately became the primary target of the Soul Clan's surprise attack.
The long-disappeared Soul Clan suddenly appeared, quickly sneak-attacking the Yao Clan! The Soul Clan's surprise attack was exceptionally swift and precise; even if the Yao Clan was prepared, Soul Clan experts poured in like a tide, and it was still an instant destruction of the Yao Clan's defense system, causing huge chaos and casualties.
The Ancient, Yan, and Lei Clans immediately realized the seriousness of the situation after sensing that the Yao Clan had encountered misfortune, and quickly gathered strength to rush to the scene.
However, when they arrived, the Yao Clan had already fallen, and the entire clan had been completely destroyed.
This sudden change put the Four-Clan Alliance into an unprecedented crisis.
The destruction of the Yao Clan not only weakened the overall strength of the alliance but also made the other three clans feel unprecedented fear and anger.
This time destroying the Yao Clan, the Soul Clan did not choose to hide its strength.
Hun Tiandi personally led many Soul Clan experts to launch an attack, blitzing the Yao Clan.
Yao Dan was only a Seven-Star Dou Saint; how could he withstand Hun Tiandi's attack, and he was soon killed by Hun Tiandi.
The disparity in strength was such that Yao Dan couldn't even self-destruct.
This battle almost became a one-sided massacre.
Although the Yao Clan also had a certain defensive strength, in the face of the Soul Clan's overwhelming advantage, these resistances appeared so insignificant.
Yao Dan's fall marked the Yao Clan's loss of its last hope.
Similar to the battle where the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan destroyed the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, this battle was also a great victory without any suspense.
However, compared with the battle of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, the Soul Clan's surprise attack on the Yao Clan was more swift and more fatal.
They succeeded in erasing the Yao Clan, which was also a Dou Di Clan, from the Dou Qi Continent without suffering any losses.
When the experts of the Ancient, Yan, and Lei Clans rushed over and witnessed the bloody and chaotic scene in front of them, their hearts couldn't help but tighten.
Looking at the group of experts led by Hun Tiandi, they couldn't help but be greatly shocked.
Especially the Ancient Clan; in their view, even if the Soul Clan mastered the ability of the Tunling Clan, its strength would only be slightly stronger than theirs.
However, the appearance of the four Eight-Star Dou Saint-level Soul Clan elders behind Hun Tiandi—Hun Yuantian, Hun Shengtian, and others—was like a heavy hammer, smashing hard into the hearts of the three clans' experts.
Gu Dao shocked and opened his mouth: "Hun Yuantian, Hun Shengtian, how could you still be alive?"
Gu Dao was the Supreme Elder of the Ancient Clan, older than Gu Yuan, and naturally knew more things.
He clearly remembered that these old monsters, Hun Yuantian and Hun Shengtian, participated in the battle to destroy the Xiao Clan thousands of years ago and were already killed by the Xiao Clan patriarch Xiao Xuan!
