Chapter 677 The Soul Clan's Conspiracy

Lin Fan pushed his Sharingan to its limit, spending a full day to completely store the Alliance region into his Kamui space!

Everyone looked up and down at this unfamiliar place and found that it was no different from the outside world. There were mountains, water, sun and moon, and the energy of heaven and earth here was even more concentrated than that of the outside world!

This is the unique advantage of the Divine Might Space. When Lin Fan's strength reaches the Dou Sheng level and his cultivation technique reaches the Heavenly Rank, he will intentionally or unintentionally absorb and inject the energy of the outside world into the Divine Might Space for storage, transforming it into a paradise-like place.

After settling all the alliance members in, Lin Fan rushed to the ancient clan without stopping.

Inside the ancient clan's council hall, dozens of figures sat upright, including Lin Fan, Yan Jin, Lei Ying, Gu Yuan, and some of the ancient clan's high-ranking members. Their expressions were more or less solemn.

"I never imagined that the Soul Clan was so deeply hidden. They even controlled the Devouring Spirit Clan from ancient times. No wonder the Soul Clan's Dou Di bloodline is still strong after thousands of years."

Gu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. He had been an adversary of the Soul Emperor for thousands of years and had always thought he understood him. But now he realized how wrong he had been!

During the time when the Medicine Clan was destroyed, he kept a close eye on the movements of the Soul Emperor. The latter was very quiet, but he never expected that the Soul Clan would hide a master like the Void Devouring Flame!

"Thanks to our good son-in-law, if he hadn't repelled the Void Devouring Flame at the crucial moment, the ancient families would probably have been defeated one by one by the Soul Clan."

Yan Jin sighed, and Gu Yuan nodded in agreement, then turned to Lin Fan with a complicated look in his eyes.

When Gu Yuan first learned that Xun'er and Lin Fan were together, he was somewhat skeptical. His precious daughter possessed the strongest Dou Di bloodline of the ancient clan. He looked down on even the younger generation of men from the same ancient clan, let alone Lin Fan, who came from that godforsaken place in the northwest of the continent.

But reality quickly proved Gu Yuan wrong. Lin Fan, relying on his talent and strength, rose from an unknown nobody to establish the most powerful force in Zhongzhou in just three to five years, even destroying the Soul Palace!
Lin Fan has now truly reached the pinnacle of this world, and the two have reached a state of equality.

"Those Soul Clan guys think they can just swallow us whole? They're not going to do it that easily!"

Lei Ying snorted and stood up from his seat, his two fists, each the size of a sandbag, clashing together with a low thud.

"The alliance is settled. Now let's begin working on opening up the spatial passages between the three major families."

Gu Yuan spoke, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"Soul Emperor? With your strength, why are you acting so furtively!?"

Just then, Gu Yuan's expression suddenly turned extremely gloomy. His cold shout, enveloped in powerful battle qi, resounded outwards, and his sharp gaze looked towards a certain void outside the main hall.

"What? The Soul Emperor has arrived!?"

Lei Ying, Yan Jin, and many high-ranking members of the ancient clan all stood up abruptly, their faces filled with shock. Lin Fan also looked solemn, because he had not sensed anything at all!
"Although there's only one step between the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm and the Soul Realm of the Emperor Realm, the gap between the two is just too great..."

Lin Fan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh inwardly. After cultivating with Diao Chan, his soul power could be considered as half a step into the Emperor Realm. He originally thought that he could contend with a strong person like the Ancient Yuanhun Heavenly Emperor with this power, but now it seems that he was too naive.

Whoosh!

A series of whooshing sounds rang out as everyone in the main hall rushed out, causing turmoil throughout the ancient realm. All the elders flew in from all directions, their battle qi subtly fluctuating, ready to unleash their power.

"Hehe, Gu Yuan, your senses are getting sharper and sharper." A crack slowly appeared in the calm space above, followed by the spread of black mist, and a group of figures appeared.

The middle-aged man who was in the lead looked to be around 40 years old. He had a handsome face, a gentle smile, and was dressed in a white robe.

His appearance and demeanor were no different from those of an ordinary, frail scholar, making it difficult to associate him with the Soul Emperor who controlled the Soul Clan.

Beside the Soul Emperor was Void Devouring Flame, whose tall body was completely shrouded in black flames. Behind them were the four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan: Soul Slaughter, Soul Mirror, Soul Flame, and Soul Fiend, all of whom were powerful experts at the late stage of the Seven Star Battle Saint!
In addition, there were dozens of high-level Soul Clan Battle Saints. Although the entire lineup was small in number, it was incredibly imposing!

"What, do you think you can swallow the ancient race whole with just these people?"

Gu Yuan stared coldly at the Soul Emperor, his voice as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth.

"Hehe, Gu Yuan, we've been rivals for thousands of years, and I've always considered you my greatest rival, as well as the person I admire most..."

"Although Xiao Xuan is undoubtedly a man of exceptional talent, he is ruthless and lacks foresight, which makes it difficult for him to achieve great things. On the other hand, Gu Yuan is meticulous and knows how to be patient. Under your leadership, the Gu Clan has not only not declined, but has flourished and is even comparable to the Soul Clan. I truly admire you."

The Soul Emperor's expression was serious, showing no hostility whatsoever, as if he were talking to an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time.

"You went to all this trouble to bring so many people here, just to tell me this, right?"

Gu Yuan frowned, feeling that the Soul Emperor was acting strangely, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it, and a sense of unease crept into his heart.

"I'm saying all this to tell you that if you continue to be stubborn, the only result will be mutual destruction. You and I are both the most outstanding beings in this world, and we appreciate each other. Why don't we unite and dominate the world together!"

As he finished speaking, the Soul Emperor's voice became increasingly excited. To others, his words might sound arrogant, but only those who knew the Soul Emperor understood that he was not exaggerating, but rather that he truly possessed such strength.

Upon hearing this, Lei Ying and Yan Jin both focused their gazes on Gu Yuan. If he really agreed to the idea proposed by the Soul Emperor, and two late-stage nine-star Dou Sheng experts joined forces, they would truly have no way out!
"Heh, mutual respect? I dare not accept that. I know your ambition better than anyone else. You will never allow anyone to stand on equal footing with you. What you want is to trample all the living beings on the entire continent under your feet!"

Gu Yuan let out a disdainful sneer. Cooperating with the Soul Emperor was no different from seeking help from a tiger.

"That's such a pity... But since the cooperation can't go through, I can't have come all this way for nothing. I'll gladly accept the ancient jade!"

Soul Emperor was not surprised by Gu Yuan's rejection, and a sinister smile suddenly appeared on his lips!

"What do you mean?"

Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and then a piercing alarm sounded from somewhere in the Ancient Realm!

"That's... the location of the ancestral hall!?"

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then his face turned completely gloomy. The ancient jade was placed in the ancestral hall and now it was sounding an alarm. Combined with what the Soul Emperor had said earlier, this made him extremely uneasy!

"Clan leader, something terrible has happened! Elder Gu Yang injured the guards and ran away with Gu Yu!"
