Chapter 44

Don't look at the Venerable Elder torturing Yin Shan, it looks very majestic, but in fact, he is also panicked inside.

After sending the news of capturing Xiao Yan back to the main hall, hearing that the Hall Master came to his branch hall personally, the Venerable Elder thought he would get a lot of rewards this time and was quite happy.

But didn't expect that the Hall Master came to ask for the ancient jade, and this pit-like Yin Shan actually hid Xiao Yan's storage ring.

Tortured for so long, still no result.

The Venerable Elder already felt that the Hall Master's face was getting uglier and uglier.

He was really afraid that the Hall Master would kill him if he was unhappy.

The Venerable Elder knew his Hall Master's strength, he was just an ordinary Dou Zun, he didn't dare to be arrogant.

So the Venerable Elder did not show any mercy when he took action against Yin Shan.

Just look at Yin Shan's right arm, this was what he cut off to threaten Yin Shan.

But the Venerable Elder didn't expect that Yin Shan's mouth was so hard.

Having implemented so many punishments on him, Yin Shan still insisted that he didn't take the storage ring and that Xiao Yan was picked up by him.

At this time, Yin Shan was also crying without tears; just because he was greedy for merit, it led to the fact that no matter how he explained now, the Venerable Elder thought he was stubborn and hid the storage ring.

And when he picked up Xiao Yan, there was no one around, and no one could defend him.

Coupled with the wounds on Xiao Yan's body, it could be clearly seen that it was caused by the soul chain, a Dou Technique commonly used by their Soul Hall Protectors.

All these clues pointed to Yin Shan.

Now he can be said to be unable to clear his name.

At this time, Hun Miesheng, who was sitting, also sneered and said: "Xue Dao, it seems your management ability is really good, to be able to manage such a tight-lipped person."

This Venerable Elder named Xue Dao heard his Hall Master's words and was scared to kneel down directly.

The Hall Master praised his management ability on the surface, but how could Xue Dao not hear the meaning in Hun Miesheng's words.

Saying that his subordinate was tight-lipped, the Hall Master mistakenly thought that Yin Shan hiding the storage ring was instructed by him!

Xue Dao didn't dare to admit this crime, and hurriedly explained: "Hall... Hall Master, please believe me, the matter of hiding the storage ring was absolutely not instructed by me, even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing."

"Hall Master, I am loyal to you, all this was done by himself, give me two more days... no, give me one more day, I will definitely pry the location of the storage ring out of his mouth."

Seeing the Hall Master's gloomy face, Xue Dao originally wanted to say give him two days, but hurriedly changed it to one day.

"Good, then I will give you... hmm?"

Hun Miesheng didn't finish his sentence, suddenly felt a powerful aura appear outside the Soul Hall.

And Xue Dao heard the Hall Master stop halfway through his speech, thinking that the Hall Master was going to do something, and his body kneeling on the ground kept trembling.

Hun Miesheng ignored Xue Dao and walked directly outside.

From the aura just now, he could feel that the person outside was at least a Dou Saint.

At the same time, he was also puzzled in his heart: When did Dou Saints appear in this Northwest Continent?

And at this time outside the Soul Hall, the ones standing were naturally Gu Xun'er, Gu Yun, and that Gu Clan Dou Zong.

Gu Yun asked: "Xun'er, are you sure it's here?"

"Yes, Elder Gu Yun, I can feel the child flame of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame is inside here."

Gu Xun'er sensed it again, and then confirmed.

"Let's go in."

Gu Xun'er, worried about Xiao Yan, wanted to break in.

But was stopped by Gu Yun.

"Xun'er, wait."

Hun Miesheng could feel Gu Yun's aura, and Gu Yun naturally was no exception.

Indeed, just after arriving here, Gu Yun felt that there was an aura similar to his inside this Soul Hall branch hall, so he stopped Gu Xun'er instead of breaking in directly.

Just when Gu Xun'er looked at Gu Yun in confusion, Hun Miesheng had already appeared outside the Soul Hall.

Hun Miesheng, who came out, looked at the three people outside the Soul Hall and frowned a little.

Among these three, the strength of one of them was actually the same as his!

One must know that this is the Northwest Continent, the Northwest Continent can be said to be notoriously lacking in materials, and Dou Saint powerhouses would not be willing to stay here at all.

Now that a four-star Dou Saint appeared, this had to make Hun Miesheng vigilant.

So Hun Miesheng asked tentatively: "Who are you, what are you doing at my Soul Hall?"

Clearly, Hun Miesheng did not know Gu Yun.

"Are you the Soul Hall Hall Master Hun Miesheng?"

Although Gu Yun did not know Hun Miesheng, he could guess.

In the Soul Hall, with the strength of a four-star Dou Saint, Gu Yun easily guessed Hun Miesheng's identity.

Hun Miesheng asked suspiciously: "Hmm? You know me?"

Gu Yun did not hide it from Hun Miesheng and confessed: "The old man is Gu Yun."

Hearing that this person's surname was Gu, coupled with the strength of a four-star Dou Saint, Hun Miesheng also guessed Gu Yun's identity.

"You are Gu Clan people?"

Then Hun Miesheng said in an unkind tone: "What are Gu Clan people doing at my Soul Hall?"

Since Xiao Xuan was killed a thousand years ago and the Xiao Clan was destroyed.

The Gu Clan and the Soul Clan, whose patriarchs are both late-stage nine-star Dou Saints, naturally confronted each other, and the two clans have had many frictions, large and small, although they have not gone to war in these years.

Both clans believe that the other is the biggest obstacle to the clan unifying the continent.

The two clans were originally hostile, and this was his home field, so Hun Miesheng naturally didn't have any politeness when speaking.

"Hun Miesheng, your Soul Clan actually took action against the Xiao Clan, aren't you afraid of our six clans uniting to crusade against you?"

Clearly, Gu Yun already knew that the Soul Hall had taken action against the Xiao family in Wutan City.

The ancient eight clans made a vow not to invade each other; if the vow is broken, they have to face the crusade of the other six clans.

"Hahaha, you still take this kind of vow seriously?"

Hun Miesheng seemed to have heard a huge joke and laughed loudly.

"When our patriarch killed Xiao Xuan back then, you didn't dare to crusade, let alone now?"

Seeing Gu Yun not speaking, Hun Miesheng continued to mock: "And don't make yourselves sound so upright, when our patriarch killed Xiao Xuan back then, it seems it was your Gu Clan that took away the foundation of the Xiao Clan, your Gu Clan is the biggest beneficiary, right?"

The biggest reason for the decline of the Xiao Clan was that Xiao Xuan absorbed the Dou Emperor bloodline and made a desperate attempt to impact the Dou Emperor, but failed and was hunted by the Soul Clan.

And the Soul Clan and the Xiao Clan were also both defeated in that battle, and then the Soul Clan's vitality was greatly damaged and they closed the Soul Realm and ignored worldly affairs.

Although the Xiao Clan lost Xiao Xuan, the Dou Saints, Dou Zuns, Dou Zongs, and Dou Techniques and techniques in the clan still existed.

But why was it that when it reached Xiao Zhan's generation, the patriarch was only a Dou Shi, and the Xiao Clan's strongest technique was only the Earth-tier intermediate Mad Lion Furious Qi.

Why did the Xiao family fall to Wutan City in this Northwest Continent?

Where did the Xiao family's high-level Dou Techniques and techniques go?

It was nothing more than other ancient families taking advantage of the fire to rob the Xiao family.
