Chapter 195: The Soul Clan's Great Secret

With the Soul Clan lurking nearby, the upper echelons of the Ancient, Yan, and Thunder Clans were destined to be unable to come up with a way to rescue the three trapped individuals.

Fighting was definitely out of the question; the Soul Clan would very likely come to steal their home.

No, they definitely would come.

As for talking, they wanted to talk, but Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's stance was clearly that he didn't want to talk properly at all.

This left them with anger in their hearts but nowhere to vent it.

Just when they thought this matter could only be left unsettled, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing suddenly had a letter delivered.

The general meaning of the letter was: releasing people is possible, but you need to bring some resources to exchange for them.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing listed a pile of precious cultivation resources in the letter; these resources were not few, enough to support two people in breaking through to Dou Sheng.

But if they could exchange for the three of them, these resources were nothing; they could grit their teeth and bring them out.

But what they found most unacceptable was that Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing put forward a requirement.

That was, he wouldn't release all three people at once; he could only release one first, and this person could only be Huo Xuan or Huo Zhi.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing stated that he was afraid the Dou Di clans would retaliate against him, so he had to keep two people on Dragon Island as hostages and release the other two fifty years later.

The Ancient Clan and the Yan Clan found it difficult to accept such a requirement.

We give you the resources to exchange for three people, and you only release one, and keep two as hostages, only releasing them fifty years later.

Where is there such a thing?

The Ancient Clan and the Yan Clan sent people to negotiate again, indicating that they couldn't accept such a result.

They asked Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing to release everyone, and they could give more resources.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing refused directly.

The two sides bickered for a long time; Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's attitude was very tough, absolutely disagreeing to release them all at once.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing made a concession, indicating that they could first use one-third of the agreed resources to exchange for Huo Zhi.

"This is my final concession; it's impossible for you to want me to release all three!" Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's attitude was tough.

"If you don't agree, don't even think about exchanging for Huo Zhi!"

"We'll go back and discuss it with the Clan Leaders," Guba and Yan Jiang said.

"Fine, but be quick, because I can't guarantee whether I'll go back on my word; by that time, you won't be able to exchange for even one."

Guba and Yan Jiang took the words back.

Finally, after the upper echelons discussed it, they decided to first use one-third of the agreed resources to exchange for Huo Zhi.

Get back whoever they could...

However, they also had Guba and Yan Jiang bring a requirement, which was to let Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing release the person first.

They all knew Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's shamelessness well; if they gave the resources first, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing would very likely not release the person.

They didn't believe Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing at all.

After hearing the requirement they put forward, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was very puzzled and helpless.

Was he, such a handsome guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, like that kind of person who didn't keep his word?

Fortunately, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing didn't say his inner thoughts out loud; otherwise, Guba and Yan Jiang would have nodded without hesitation.

You're not like that; you are that kind of person.

Although he was questioned, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing still agreed.

He still had two hostages in his hands; Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing didn't believe they dared to renege on the debt.

Dare to renege? I'll tear up the ticket directly!

Thus, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing let the two of them take Huo Zhi back.

"Remember to send the resources early; otherwise, I can't guarantee whether I'll do something to your Young Clan Leaders," Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing reminded lightly.

A warning, this was a naked warning.

Guba and Yan Jiang flicked their sleeves and left.

Although only Huo Zhi was brought back, the people of the Yan Clan were still very happy.

After all, as long as there was a first, there would be a second.

In their view, the reason Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was willing to release the person was for two reasons.

The first reason was that he was afraid that after the three Dou Di clans recovered their strength, they would come to settle accounts with their Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

The true strength of the Taixu Ancient Dragons had never been revealed, leading them to develop thoughts of contempt.

The second reason was that they felt that after two years of sealing the island, the Taixu Ancient Dragons' inventory had been exhausted and they needed a large amount of cultivation resources, which was why they decided to use Huo Zhi to exchange for cultivation resources to solve their urgent needs.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing didn't know what they were thinking, nor did he want to know.

At this time, he had already received the cultivation resources sent by the Yan Clan.

"Go back and tell your Clan Leaders not to have any small thoughts about the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan; as long as there is the slightest sign of something wrong, I will tear up the ticket!"

"Also, fifty years later, be prepared with the remaining two-thirds of the resources; we will exchange money—oh no, exchange resources for people—at the Du Jian Mountain Range."

After leaving these words, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing left directly.

Three days after Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing finished the transaction with them.

Hun Tiandi also learned of this news from his subordinates.

After the previous incident of stealing the Ancient Jade, the Ancient, Yan, and Thunder Clans conducted large-scale investigations within their clans and found many Soul Clan spies, but there were still some lucky ones who were not found.

This led to this news, which was kept secret by the Ancient, Yan, and Thunder Clans, reaching Hun Tiandi's ears.

Of course, even if Hun Tiandi hadn't learned of this news from an undercover agent, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing would have secretly passed this news to the Soul Clan.

In fact, the Ancient, Yan, and Thunder Clans had all guessed wrong.

The reason Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was willing to release Huo Zhi was not because he feared them, and certainly not because he lacked cultivation resources.

The purpose of Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing doing this was the same as him releasing the news of his breakthrough to Nine-Star Dou Sheng: to drag out time and let the Soul Clan attack the Ancient, Yan, and Thunder Clans later.

It turned out that two days before Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing decided to use Huo Zhi to exchange for resources, he had accidentally stumbled upon a great secret of the Soul Clan, which was why he did this.

The matter was like this: at that time, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing had taken Jiang Yue back to the Jiang family once.

Returning to the Jiang family was not because Jiang Yue was homesick.

It was because her strength had reached the Six-Turn Dou Zun realm, and after she learned about the Jiang family secret realm from her great-grandfather, she kept acting spoiled and saying she wanted to go in.

"Dad, I really want to go into the Jiang family secret realm. Great-grandfather said there is a precious inheritance left by our Jiang family ancestors that can rapidly increase strength. I want to increase my strength quickly to help Dad share the pressure." Jiang Yue's voice carried a bit of acting spoiled and a bit of firmness; her bright eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, making it impossible for people to refuse.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was naturally very moved after hearing this; originally, he didn't agree, after all, she was only at the Six-Turn Dou Zun realm now and didn't need to rush in.

But under Jiang Yue's soft and hard pestering, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing still lost.

It was also because Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing thought there wasn't much danger inside and he could pull her out at any time that he agreed to let her go in.

Before going in, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing also gave her more than a dozen Dou Sheng-level puppets to protect her by her side.

His little cotton-padded jacket certainly couldn't have any mishaps.

Returned to the Jiang family.

The house was a bit messy, and many things that couldn't be taken away at the time had been knocked over to the ground; Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing suspected it was done by those people from the Dou Di clans.

"I'll settle accounts with you later!"

Without staying long, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing took Jiang Yue to the back mountain of the Jiang family.

Fortunately, the secret realm was hidden by the Jiang family's array and hadn't been discovered by them.

After Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing gave Jiang Yue a few instructions on what to pay attention to inside, he activated the secret realm, and the secret realm sucked Jiang Yue in.

With those dozen or so Dou Sheng puppets guarding her, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing wasn't particularly worried about his daughter's safety.

In order to better hide this secret realm, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing reinforced it again.

With his Nine-Star Dou Sheng strength reinforcing the array, even if Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi came, they wouldn't be able to discover it without careful observation.

Now, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was relieved.

Just as Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was on his way back to Dragon Island, he passed by the Zang Tian Mountain Range where the great battle in the original work took place.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing felt four familiar auras; although these auras were hidden very well, they were still detected by him, who had an Emperor-realm soul.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing seemed to realize something and didn't alert the enemy, but slowly approached those four auras.

After approaching, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing discovered that the four auras he sensed were exactly those emanating from the four elders of the Soul Clan.

These four elders were setting up an array.

Zang Tian Mountain Range, array.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing, who had read the original work, quickly guessed that the array they were setting up should be the legendary Gate of Dead Silence!
