Battle Through the Heavens: My Grandfather is a Six-Star Dou Sheng

Chapter 46 The Soul Emperor's Speculation

After failing to find the ancient jade, Gu Yun and Gu Shen, having calmed Xun'er down a bit, took her back to their clan.

Back in the ancient realm, Gu Yun and Gu Shen went to the main hall to find Gu Yuan.

He reported the entire process to Gu Yuan in detail.

This was no small matter, so Gu Yuan directly contacted the elders of the Gu clan to convene a meeting.

Inside the meeting room.

"Chieftain, what is the purpose of this meeting?"

The first to speak was Gu Dao, one of the three immortals.

Gu Dao is the Supreme Elder of the Ancient Clan, and his cultivation level is the late stage of Seven Star Dou Sheng. Apart from Gu Yuan and other elders who have been in office for a long time, no one can compare with him in terms of status.

The other elders also looked at Gu Yuan with suspicion.

"The reason I have summoned you here today is to discuss the matter of the ancient jade of the Xiao clan."

"An ancient jade from the Xiao clan? Could it be that the clan leader knows the whereabouts of the ancient jade?"

These elders also knew that the Soul Hall had recently besieged the Xiao family, but had not found the ancient jade.

"Just a few days ago, the people from the Soul Palace captured Xiao Yan of the Xiao Clan, and the Ancient Jade was on Xiao Yan's body. At that time, I sent Elder Gu Yun to go, but unfortunately, Hun Miesheng escaped."

Gu Yuan briefly explained the situation to them.

One of the elders exclaimed in surprise, "What? Doesn't that mean the Xiao Clan's ancient jade has fallen into the hands of the Soul Clan?"

Gu Yuan: "That's right, so I called everyone here to discuss this matter with you."

Gu Xuan, a five-star Dou Sheng, said angrily, "Clan leader, the Soul Clan is ambitious and has now openly violated the oath to seize the Xiao family's ancient jade. This matter absolutely cannot be left unresolved."

Gu Yuan: "Then, elders, what do you think we should do?"

"Chieftain, the Soul Clan has blatantly broken their oath. Why don't we seize this opportunity to unite with the other five clans and attack them?"

Gu Yuan said helplessly, "I also want to destroy the Soul Clan, but I'm afraid the other five clans won't lend a hand."

The relationships between the ancient families are now very complicated. The Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan, both of which possess nine-star Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) members, want to destroy each other to collect all eight pieces of the Ancient Jade.

Therefore, Gu Yuan also hoped to form an alliance to destroy the Soul Clan.

Once the Soul Clan is wiped out, and the Ancient Clan has had a chance to recuperate, they can then attack the other clans one by one to collect the Ancient Jade and open the cave.

The patriarchs of both the Lei and Yan clans are late-stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng, and the two clans are good allies. They have basically chosen to stick together, and even with their alliance, they can barely compete with the Ancient Clan.

As for the Medicine Clan, Spirit Clan, and Stone Clan, it goes without saying that the Medicine Clan is slightly better off, as their patriarch Yao Dan has reached the strength of a seven-star Dou Sheng. However, the patriarchs of the Stone Clan and Spirit Clan only have the strength of a six-star Dou Sheng, and they have no chance of resisting a nine-star Dou Sheng.

These ancient families aren't fools; they know that if they wipe out the Soul Clan, no one will be able to restrain Gu Yuan. Therefore, for the sake of stability, they are unlikely to agree to an alliance.

Isn't it more enjoyable to watch your two races fight? Why are you meddling in?

Even if they agree to the alliance, they certainly won't go all out.

Upon hearing Gu Yuan's words, the other elders also fell silent.

If other families don't contribute, they won't dare to attack the Soul Clan!

Gu Yuan: "In that case, everyone go back and think about it first. Once you've thought it through, we can discuss it together again."

Seeing that the elders were silent, Gu Yuan knew that the Soul Clan had stolen the ancient jade, and he could only let it go.

……

Soul world.

At this moment, the disheveled Soul Extinction returned to the Soul Realm. Instead of adjusting his condition immediately, he went directly to report the news to the Soul Emperor.

Inside the Soul Clan's main hall.

A handsome man, about thirty years old and dressed in a gray-white robe, sat at the head of the table. From his appearance, he was undoubtedly a refined gentleman.

Such an image makes it hard to associate him with the most enigmatic patriarch of the Soul Clan.

That's right, this person is none other than Soul Emperor, the patriarch of the Soul Clan.

Unlike Gu Yuan's indecisiveness, Hun Tiandi was ruthless and unscrupulous in his actions.

Therefore, within the Soul Clan, the Soul Emperor is arguably the absolute authority.

In front of the Soul Emperor, Soul Extinction was kneeling on the ground.

Seeing Hun Miesheng's disheveled appearance, Hun Tiandi slowly said, "Hun Miesheng, I asked you to collect souls in Zhongzhou, how did you end up like this?"

"Clan leader, a few days ago I received orders from my subordinates that they had captured Xiao Yan, the survivor of the Xiao clan, in the Northwest Continent. I went there in person to retrieve the ancient jade, but Xiao Yan was already dead, and the jade was not on him. I suspect that the protector who captured Xiao Yan hid the jade, but that protector was too stubborn. Before I could get any information out of him, two four-star Dou Sheng from the Ancient Clan arrived at the Soul Palace. Knowing that I was no match for them, I ran back with the protector."

Knowing that his clan leader disliked rambling, Hun Miesheng recounted everything that had happened.

"Oh?"

The Soul Emperor's exceptionally bright eyes looked at Yinshan, as if they could see right through people's hearts.

This made the Yinshan Mountains below tremble with fear.

Yinshan hurriedly explained, "Clan...Clan leader, I really didn't hide the ancient jade. I did find Xiao Yan outside the Soul Palace. He was already dead when I found him."

After observing for a while, the Soul Emperor slowly said, "He has no reason to lie; it's unlikely that he hid the ancient jade."

Hun Miesheng: "But clan leader, if the ancient jade isn't on Xiao Yan, why would the ancient clan members still come to snatch it?"

The Soul Emperor stared at Yin Shan and asked, "When you found Xiao Yan, was there anything special about him?"

"Special? Oh, right, clan leader, there's also a sub-flame of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame next to Xiao Yan."

Yinshan suddenly thought of this and quickly said it.

The Soul Emperor asked in confusion, "The Golden Emperor's Heaven-Burning Flame?"

The Soul Emperor wondered, "Isn't the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame a unique flame passed down from an ancient clan? How come it's next to Xiao Yan?"

Connect this with the ancient clan's powerful figures coming to seize the ancient jade.

Immediately, Soul Emperor's mind went blank. Could it be that Gu Yuan killed Xiao Yan and threw the body into the Soul Palace to frame my Soul Clan? And that the Ancient Jade was actually in Gu Yuan's hands?

If that's really the case, then what the Soul Emperor can't understand is why he placed the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame next to Xiao Yan? Wouldn't that expose the ancient clans?

Seeing his clan leader's reaction, Hun Miesheng couldn't help but ask, "Clan leader...?"

Soul Emperor: "Take him away first, let me think about it."

P.S.: Mind-bending, not just Soul Emperor, but the author is also mind-bending!
