Douluo: Rainbow Cat, Blue Cat, Seven Swords and Dragon Rider

Chapter 582 Xiao Yan's Choice
After Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er sat down, they poured Xiao Xuan a full glass of wine. The wine was naturally left by Lan Hong, and there was quite a lot of it.

"Ancestor Xiao Xuan, are you aware of what happened inside the cave of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe?"

Xiao Xuan took a sip of wine and shook his head.

“I don’t know what happened in the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s cave, but judging from your worried look, I can guess that the Emperor-grade embryonic pill has fallen into the hands of the Soul Emperor.”

"Yes, the Soul Emperor also set up the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array, intending to sacrifice the entire population of Zhongzhou. Fortunately, you informed us in advance, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"The Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array, so this is what Soul Emperor was planning. What a pathetic fellow. He has completely gone mad in his pursuit of breaking through to the Dou Di realm."

"Senior Xiao Xuan, if the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array is no longer available, will the Soul Emperor be unable to break through to the Dou Di realm?"

Hearing Gu Xun'er ask this question, Xiao Xuan shook his head.

"Xiao Yan, I think you must be wondering why the Blue Rainbow Emperor didn't stop the Soul Emperor from obtaining the Emperor-grade embryonic pill."

"Hmm, I do not quite understand why you are standing aside at this time, senior."

"I do know one reason: he wanted to destroy the Soul Clan but didn't want to do it himself."

"Huh? What does this mean?"

Gu Xun'er suddenly widened her eyes as she thought of a possibility.

"What Senior Xiao Xuan means is that even without the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array, the Soul Emperor will still sacrifice the descendants of the Soul Clan to help him become an emperor."

Xiao Xuan nodded and even offered a compliment.

"You're a smart girl, you get it right away."

"The Soul Emperor would even turn his own people against him?"

"He's been insane for a long time, so I wouldn't be surprised if he did something."

You don't need to worry too much. Even if Soul Emperor becomes a Dou Di, if he dares to act recklessly, Blue Rainbow Emperor will definitely stop him.

Xiao Yan shook his head.

“We cannot place all our hopes on our ancestors. There is something I would like to ask them to do.”

Seeing Xiao Yan's seriousness, Xiao Xuan also became serious, while Gu Xun'er looked at Xiao Yan with a worried expression.

"Xiao Yan, tell me, what is it that makes you so earnestly ask me for guidance?"

"The old dragon emperor Zhukun of the Taixu Ancient Dragon told me that there is another opportunity in the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave, an opportunity that may allow me to reach the Dou Di level as well."

But the chance of survival for this opportunity is only one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand. Should I give it a try?

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Xuan fell silent for a moment, while Gu Xun'er looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, you can't take this risk."

A one in ten thousand chance—what's the difference between that and courting death?

"Xun'er, I know this is risky, but I won't back down if I need to go."

"Brother Xiao Yan..."

Gu Xun'er didn't know what to say, so she could only lean against him and hug him tightly, afraid that he would leave.

"Hmph, I'm afraid I can't give you any advice, Xiao Yan. It's up to you to make your own choice."

When you reach a certain level, some things become a gamble. If you win, everyone is happy; if you lose, you are doomed.

"But I believe in you; becoming a Dou Di is not your final destination."

Xiao Xuan patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, which made Xiao Yan make up his mind.

After chatting with Xiao Xuan for a while, Xiao Xuan urged Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er to have a child, which made Gu Xun'er blush. Only then did they leave the Heavenly Tomb and return to the Ancient Realm.

However, as soon as they returned to the ancient realm, a powerful pressure descended. This dark, mad, and violent pressure naturally belonged to the Soul Emperor.

"Emperor Soul!"

Gu Xun'er and Xiao Yan were both startled and rushed to Gu Yuan and the others.

"Xiao Yan, Xun'er, you've arrived."

"Father, has the Soul Emperor already broken through to the Dou Di realm?"

"It shouldn't be yet, but judging from the current situation, it's a foregone conclusion that Soul Emperor will break through to Dou Di."

"The Soul-Devouring Life-Severing Array was clearly destroyed, so where did the Soul Emperor get so much energy to refine a nascent Emperor-grade pill?" "Father, we received information from Senior Xiao Xuan that the Soul Emperor may have sacrificed one of his own descendants."

"What! The Soul Emperor can be this crazy?"

Lei Ying and Yan Jin were both extremely shocked. Sacrificing all the descendants of one's own clan—was something a clan leader could do?

"I'm afraid the descendants of the Rock Clan and the Spirit Clan will suffer the same fate."

Yan Jin thought of the Rock Clan and the Spirit Clan, who had been wiped out by the Soul Clan, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hehehe, hehehe, Gu Yuan, Zhu Kun, are you regretting going against me now?"

The projection of the Soul Emperor appeared in the sky above the ancient realm, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

"Soul Emperor, you sacrificed the descendants of the Soul Clan just to become emperor for yourself. Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"

"Divine retribution? Hehehe, Gu Yuan, when did you become so naive?"

After I become a Dou Di, I will naturally rebuild a new Soul Clan. It is their honor to contribute to my ascension to Emperor status.

"Soul Emperor, you have gone completely mad. Even if you become a Dou Di, you will not have a good end."

"Hehehe, you can keep shouting here. It won't be long before I come here in person and use you as a sacrifice."

After he finished speaking, the projection of the Soul Emperor disappeared, and the oppressive aura also vanished.

"Alas, the first target of the Soul Emperor after becoming emperor will inevitably be my ancient clan. We must find a way to move them away."

No matter what, the bloodline of the ancient clan must be preserved.

Lei Ying and Yan Jin shared the same thought; now that things had come to this, they had to prepare for the worst.

Zhu Kun didn't care. Not long ago, the entire Dragon Island had already been taken into Lan Hong's small world, so he was completely fearless.

Xiao Yan then bowed to Zhu Kun.

"Senior Zhukun."

Zhu Kun glanced at Xiao Yan, knowing he had something to say.

"Whatever you have to say, just say it."

"I'd like to try out the other opportunity that Senior Zhukun mentioned in the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave."

Are you sure? Aren't you afraid of dying?

"Of course I'm afraid of death, but at this point, in order to fight against the Soul Emperor, someone needs to step forward, doesn't he?"

"Haha, good, that's interesting. He was right, you'll definitely choose this path. Go tell your wife and then come find me."

With that, Zhu Kun turned and left, with Gu Xun'er standing right behind Xiao Yan.

Gu Xun'er hugged Xiao Yan from behind.

"Xun'er, I..."

"Brother Xiao Yan, you don't need to say anything. I understand. Just come with me before you leave."

Lan Hong was monitoring the movements of all parties, and when she saw this, she cut off the view of Xiao Yan's side, because it's best not to look at what you shouldn't see.

Not long after, Xiao Yan found Zhu Kun again, and Zhu Kun said with a smile, "Hehe, all done explaining?"

Xiao Yan gave an awkward smile.

"Yes, it has all been explained."

"Well, then come with me."

Zhu Kun tore open the space and headed to the ancient Tuoshe Emperor's cave.

Blue Rainbow and Tuoshegudi were already waiting for them there.
