Chapter 43

Gu Yuan didn't care about Xiao Yan's life or death at all.

If it weren't for fear that Xun'er would know and hold a grudge against him, Gu Yuan would even want to kill Xiao Yan himself.

But now the ancient jade fragment is on Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan was captured by the Soul Hall.

Gu Yuan couldn't sit still; he sent his daughter to the Xiao family just to steal the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.

He didn't expect that he didn't get the ancient jade, but it was obtained by the Soul Clan first.

Gu Yuan and Soul Tiandi's realm are both late-stage nine-star Dou Saints; Soul Tiandi wants to collect all eight ancient jades to open the cave mansion and break through to Dou Emperor, so why wouldn't Gu Yuan want to?

The biggest benefit of breaking through to Dou Emperor is that it can also improve the bloodline of his clansmen.

The reason why the seven ancient clans have such powerful strength and very deep foundations today is inseparable from the appearance of Dou Emperor powerhouses in the clan before.

But so many years have passed, and the powerhouses in these ancient families have never been able to advance to the Dou Emperor realm.

Even the brilliant Xiao Clan patriarch Xiao Xuan of the ancient eight clans of that year was like this.

This is also the reason why Soul Tiandi has endured for a thousand years.

So when he heard that Xiao Yan, who was holding the ancient jade, was captured by the Soul Hall, his reaction was so big.

Although it is said that it is useless if the eight ancient jades are not collected, Gu Yuan cannot let the Soul Clan get it so easily.

Gu Yuan paced back and forth in the main hall.

If he could, Gu Yuan would want to go personally, but he also didn't forget that the ancient eight clans have a rule that Dou Saint powerhouses above five stars cannot take action.

Even if none of the clans took this rule seriously, everyone tacitly did not break it.

Although Gu Yuan's strength has reached the peak of the Dou Qi Continent, he can be said to be very indecisive.

Compared to Xiao Xuan who knew how to be prepared for danger in times of peace and Soul Tiandi who was resourceful, Gu Yuan can be said to be the kind of pit goods who just waits to die.

Finally, in order to comply with the so-called "rule", Gu Yuan still decided to send Gu Yun, who was in the late stage of the four-star Dou Saint, to go.

Gu Yuan: "Do you know which branch hall of the Soul Hall Xiao Yan is in?"

"Father, I know, I left a child flame of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame on Brother Xiao Yan, and I can sense the location of the child flame."

Because Gu Xun'er was anxious, she said it directly.

Just after Gu Xun'er finished speaking, she regretted it.

"What? You gave the child flame of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame to that kid?"

Sure enough, hearing that Xun'er actually gave the child flame of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame to Xiao Yan, Gu Yuan was furious.

One must know that the child flame of Exotic Fire is not something that can be given away just like that; the child flame also needs a trace of Exotic Fire origin to survive.

Don't look at it as just a trace of origin, how long would their Gu Clan need to spend to nourish back that trace of origin of the child flame?

And what is the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame?

That is their Gu Clan's inheritance Exotic Fire; now that Gu Xun'er stripped out a child flame and gave it to an outsider, how could Gu Yuan not be angry.

Gu Yuan felt that he was going to be angered to death by his daughter.

And at this time, Gu Xun'er didn't dare to talk back at all; she was afraid that if she talked back, Gu Yuan would not go to save Brother Xiao Yan.

Gu Yuan calmed down for a long time before he smoothed his anger.

At this time, Gu Yun also came.

After Gu Yuan told him the matter, he let him take Gu Xun'er to the Soul Hall, and it would be best to bring the ancient jade back.

Although Gu Xun'er wanted Gu Yuan to go with her, Gu Yuan was a nine-star Dou Saint, and his speed must be faster than Gu Yun's.

The faster they went, the greater the chance of her Brother Xiao Yan surviving.

But seeing Gu Yuan so angry, knowing that was impossible, she had to give up.

So, Gu Yun and Gu Xun'er rushed in the direction sensed by the child flame.

Inside the Soul Hall branch hall.

The Protector who picked up Xiao Yan was currently being firmly tied by a black chain.

And sitting in front of him was a middle-aged man who was not angry but prestigious.

That's right, this person is the Soul Hall Hall Master Hun Miesheng.

Hun Miesheng, his strength is in the late stage of the four-star Dou Saint.

Because these ancient clans have rules, Dou Saint powerhouses above five stars are not allowed to interfere in their ordinary struggles.

Then conversely, they can't manage those below five stars, so the Soul Clan sent Hun Miesheng, a four-star Dou Saint, to take charge of the Soul Hall.

As the Hall Master of the Soul Hall, he shouldn't have come here.

It was just that a few days ago he heard his subordinates say that they had captured the escaped Xiao Yan.

The order to bloodbath the Xiao family and capture Xiao Zhan was also issued by Hun Miesheng.

The reason was that Soul Tiandi asked Hun Miesheng to find a way to get the ancient jade of the Xiao family.

Hun Miesheng also did it, but as a Hall Master, it was impossible for him to go out personally, so he let his subordinates go.

Hun Miesheng still had the awareness of a villain; his original intention was that if he wanted to take action, he should cut the weeds and eliminate the roots.

Hun Miesheng knew that the current Xiao family had weakened to the point where the strongest was only at the Dou Shi realm.

And the weakest Protector of the Soul Hall was at the Dou Zong realm, so after he issued the order, he went into seclusion with peace of mind.

Who would have thought that his subordinates were too pit-like.

Subordinates were lazier than the other, passing it on one by one, and finally let a Human-Grade Protector go to the Jia Ma Empire to handle this matter.

And so, after he came out of seclusion, the people below told him that one person from the Xiao family had run away!

Hun Miesheng didn't care at first; running away one, just chase and kill him, getting the ancient jade to report to Soul Tiandi was the most important thing.

But what he didn't expect was that the servant told him again that they didn't find the ancient jade!

Plus the escaped Xiao Yan was the young master of the Xiao family, the ancient jade was likely in the hands of the escaped Xiao Yan.

After the last incident, Hun Miesheng became less and less confident in his subordinates' work, so he came to this Soul Hall branch hall personally.

After arriving at the branch hall, Hun Miesheng saw that the captured Xiao Yan was dead, and didn't care.

What he wanted was not Xiao Yan, but the ancient jade on Xiao Yan.

But after searching on Xiao Yan, he didn't find the ancient jade.

And Xiao Yan's storage ring had also disappeared, which had to make Hun Miesheng suspect whether his servant had hidden Xiao Yan's storage ring.

So this scene happened now, Hun Miesheng was sitting, the Protector was tied by a black chain, and the Venerable Elder of the branch hall was responsible for interrogating this Protector.

Venerable Elder: "Yin Shan, this Venerable will give you one last chance, hurry up and hand over Xiao Yan's storage ring."

"Venerable Elder, I am wronged, this Xiao Yan was indeed picked up by me outside the Soul Hall, and there is indeed no storage ring on him, it's really not that I hid the storage ring."

At this time, the Protector who had broken his entire right arm, under the threat of life, endured the pain and kept explaining.

It turned out that after Yin Shan picked up Xiao Yan, in order to magnify his merit, he reported to the Venerable Elder that Xiao Yan was captured by him.

Originally thought that this time he had made a great contribution and should get a lot of rewards.

Who would have thought that after Hun Miesheng came, he not only didn't get a reward, but was tied up by a chain and interrogated under torture!
