Chapter 2960: The once-annihilated clan, the Soul-Eater Clan, Jiang Chen

Yu Huatian had prepared meticulously, exhausting every means.

In the end, he still met the fate of having both body and soul destroyed.

Jiang Chen's heart felt cold; his spine seemed to have frozen, a chill piercing to the bone.

Jun Xiaoyao said, "However, the existence that possessed Yu Huatian indeed has an extraordinary origin, and it controls a special Soul-Eating Possession divine ability."

Jiang Yunran, as if thinking of something, said.

"Clan Brother Xiaoyao, I do have a guess."

"Once, there was a fairly well-known lineage that eventually vanished into ancient history, called the Soul-Eater Clan."

"The Soul-Eater Clan..." Jun Xiaoyao's gaze flashed.

Just a moment ago, Yu Huatian had also unleashed the so-called Soul-Eating Great Art.

After some explanation from Jiang Yunran.

Jun Xiaoyao also gained a slight understanding.

The vast starry sky has a long history; throughout the long ages, there have been many supreme clans that vanished without a trace.

For example, the Time-Space Spirit Clan where Ling Xi belongs.

And the Soul-Eater Clan was the same.

But unlike the Time-Space Spirit Clan.

The reason the Time-Space Spirit Clan declined was because they were too monstrous, leading to jealousy from the Heavens.

And the covetousness and schemes of various factions.

It could be said they simply suffered an unprovoked disaster.

But the Soul-Eater Clan was different.

This clan was born with extremely special demonic souls, and their Primordial Spirit cultivation was exceptionally powerful.

They even possessed the so-called Soul-Eating Great Art.

Its special feature was the ability to plunder others' Primordial Spirits and possess their bodies.

Moreover, it was done without anyone knowing, and under normal circumstances, it was very difficult to be discovered.

The Soul-Eater Clan also had huge ambitions, frequently invading other realms and conquering territories.

At its peak, it almost approached the level of a Hegemon Clan.

But also because of their huge ambitions and rapid expansion.

It led the Soul-Eater Clan to offend many clans.

Many powerhouses and monsters of various clans were possessed by the Soul-Eater Clan.

And finally, one event became the fuse for the Soul-Eater Clan's decline and annihilation.

That was, a Soul-Eater Clan powerhouse actually defied the world's greatest taboo.

They possessed an unparalleled monster of the Yun Clan, one of the ten Hegemon Clans.

It directly provoked the thunderous rage of the Yun Clan.

Previously, although the Soul-Eater Clan was strong, they hadn't provoked the Yun Clan, and the Yun Clan couldn't be bothered to care.

But afterwards, the Yun Clan directly united with many clans to launch an Immortal War against the Soul-Eater Clan.

That battle could be called a quite vast battle in the vast starry sky.

After all, the Soul-Eater Clan at its peak was almost equivalent to a Hegemon Clan.

That level of Immortal War was equivalent to a collision between behemoths, naturally incomparably terrifying.

Countless star domains and ancient realms were destroyed.

And countless living beings fell.

In the end, it concluded with the victory of the coalition led by the Yun Clan.

The Soul-Eater Clan was almost completely wiped out.

Of course, a centipede dies but never stiffens.

And the Soul-Eater Clan was extremely special, able to possess all spirits silently.

So it was definitely impossible to wipe them out completely; there would be fish that slipped through the net.

But regardless, after this battle.

The Soul-Eater Clan was considered to have completely vanished from the vast starry sky.

If there was news afterwards, it was only a few sporadic Soul-Eater Clan beings being discovered and wiped out.

"To think there was such a story."

Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly.

And he didn't expect that one of the protagonists of this story was actually the Yun Clan.

But this also shows that the Yun Clan is indeed extremely powerful.

A Soul-Eater Clan comparable to a Hegemon Clan, they fought when they wanted to fight, and wiped them out when they wanted to.

"Looking at it this way, Yu Huatian should have been in seclusion in some ancient land."

"And was possessed by a Soul-Eater Clan member existing within it."

"I just don't know if this is an isolated case, or..." Jun Xiaoyao pondered.

If it were just a single Soul-Eater Clan member appearing occasionally, that would be considered normal.

After all, with the Soul-Eater Clan's possession characteristic, it is impossible to eliminate them completely.

But if this is not an isolated case, but rather the Soul-Eater Clan still exists and is developing in the shadows...

Then the situation is different.

And because it involves the Yun Clan, it might be a threat to the Yun Clan in the future.

"That shouldn't be the case, right?" Jiang Yunran was also uncertain.

Perhaps Yu Huatian was just unlucky, encountering a Soul-Eater Clan member in the ancient land and being possessed.

Just then, Jiang Chen, who had been silent, suddenly revealed a smile on his face and said.

"Alright, Young Master Jun, Ninth Princess, now that the secret behind Yu Huatian is understood."

"Then continuing to investigate these things is meaningless; it's better to continue moving forward, the entire bridge has already emerged."

At this moment, this originally broken bridge had recovered at some point, extending to the other end of the Rebirth Lake.

"Indeed, we should set off, but there is another matter that needs to be investigated."

"How did that Yu Huatian happen to know that we came to the Rebirth Cave?"

"And how did he so coincidentally enter the same cave as us and meet us here?"

Jun Xiaoyao's tone held a hint of playfulness.

Jiang Yunran's gaze looked at Jiang Chen almost immediately.

Those who knew Jun Xiaoyao came to the Rebirth Cave.

Besides Jiang Di and the others.

Were Jiang Yunran, Jiang Haomiao, and the other Imperial Princes and Princesses.

And then there was Jiang Chen.

Yu Huatian coming here clearly meant he had obtained the news.

Then there must have been a traitor who leaked the situation.

And who is the traitor?

Is it one of these Imperial Princes and Princesses, or...

Actually, the answer had already emerged.

Just a moment ago, when Jun Xiaoyao jokingly said to let Jiang Chen be the sacrifice.

Jiang Yunran had sensed something was wrong.

With Jun Xiaoyao's personality, he shouldn't make such an offensive joke.

In other words, at least at that time, Jun Xiaoyao was already confident.

Or rather, even earlier, he already knew!

"W-what's wrong, Ninth Princess, why are you looking at me with such a gaze?"

Seeing the hint of coldness in Jiang Yunran's beautiful eyes, Jiang Chen's heart felt as if it had stopped beating.

"Ninth Princess... you wouldn't be suspecting me, would you?"

"I am the Young Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Observing Pavilion, how could I possibly betray the Heavenly Mandate Immortal Dynasty?" Jiang Chen exclaimed.

"In this situation, do you still need to act?"

"I have watched your performance for a long time, and now I feel a bit tired of it."

"In the Lingyang Ancient Realm, you told Yu Huatian the flaws in the formation, causing Haomiao, Yunran, and others to fall into danger."

"In the Emperor-Fallen Battlefield, you and Yu Huatian arranged for the Blue Demon Heavenly King and others to surround and kill me in the Undying Matter."

"Now, you want to solve me in the Rebirth Cave by borrowing Yu Huatian's hand."

"Falling in the Rebirth Cave is simply the most perfect resting place, isn't it?"

Jun Xiaoyao's words were eerie.

In a few sentences, he exposed all of Jiang Chen's arrangements, conspiracies, and calculations.

Jiang Yunran's gaze towards Jiang Chen became increasingly cold, her jade face filled with malice.

Their Heavenly Mandate Immortal Dynasty had always been united.

Yet, a traitor like Jiang Chen appeared, which was simply a stain.

"The blood of the Jiang family flows in your body, yet you betray the Heavenly Mandate Immortal Dynasty like this!" Jiang Yunran's tone was cold.

"I didn't, Ninth Princess, how can you listen to Jun Xiaoyao's one-sided words!" Jiang Chen's face turned pale.

"Shut up!" Jiang Yunran shouted.

Jiang Chen's cheeks twitched, the corners of his eyes jumping ferociously.

His most beloved goddess was now staring at him with an extremely disgusted gaze.

This made him almost want to vomit blood.

The veins on Jiang Chen's forehead jumped wildly; he looked at Jun Xiaoyao, his eyes filled with thick malice and unwillingness.

"Jun Xiaoyao, it's all because of you! If you hadn't come, how would I, Jiang Chen, have ended up in this step!"

"If it weren't for you, I would have become the most brilliant new star of the Heavenly Mandate Immortal Dynasty!"

"If it weren't for you, Jiang Yunran would belong to me!"

"Why did you have to appear!" ===== CHAPTER 2961 =====
