Central Plains, Starfall Pavilion.

The majestic pavilion stands atop the misty mountain.

The pavilion is surrounded by countless exotic flowers and plants, filling the air with fragrance.

In the distance, a waterfall cascades down the edge of a cliff like a white ribbon, emitting a thunderous roar.

In a quiet room at the top of the attic, a young man dressed in a black robe sat quietly by the window.

From a distance, the young man had a handsome face, bright eyes, and a resolute look between his brows.

It's none other than

This person is none other than Xiao Yan!

At this moment, Xiao Yan held a jade pendant in his hand, his gaze fixed intently on the faintly shimmering light on the pendant.

Although the light was faint, it contained a vibrant aura of life, which was the soul imprint of Xiao Yan's father.

"How could this be?"

"Although Father is still alive, there is still no news of him. Where are you, Father?"

Xiao Yan murmured to himself, his eyes filled with longing.

More than a decade has passed, but the imprint of my father's soul remains, which means he is still alive.

But why have they been missing for so long?

This problem has been giving Xiao Yan a headache.

Although Xiao Yan is a soul of an adult who transmigrated, he is filled with respect and gratitude for his father in this life.

In my memory, when countless people mocked me for being useless, only my father never gave up on me and always gave me support and encouragement.

That affection was already deeply imprinted in Xiao Yan's heart.

Just as Xiao Yan was lost in thought, a soft footstep sound came from behind him.

"Little Yanzi, are you spacing out here again?"

A kind voice rang out, interrupting Xiao Yan's thoughts.

An elderly man with white hair and beard walked slowly towards them; it was none other than Yao Chen, Xiao Yan's teacher.

Yao Chen came to Xiao Yan's side, his gaze falling on the jade token in Xiao Yan's hand, a knowing look flashing in his eyes.

"Little Yanzi, perhaps you could go back to the ancestral home and take a look. It's said that your ancestor, Xiao Chen, returned from that demonic fire space..."

"Given his personality, even if he doesn't show his face, he should still be protecting the Xiao family!"

Yao Chen pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.

Upon hearing Yao Chen's words, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.

That's right!

How could I have forgotten about our ancestor Xiao Chen?

"Ancestor Xiao Chen, yes, if our ancestor were willing to help, the chances of finding our father would be much greater!"

Xiao Yan suddenly stood up, walked quickly to his desk, and began to pack the items he needed to take with him.

"I will set off for the Northwest Continent immediately."

Xiao Yan said to Yao Chen while packing his things.

Yao Chen watched Xiao Yan's busy figure, a kind smile appearing on his face.

After all, he knew his own apprentice quite well.

For so long, Xiao Yan had been suppressing his feelings, his mind heavy with worries all day long.

Now, this apprentice seems to have found his way forward.

"With your current strength as a one-star Dou Zun, it should take you about two months to reach the Northwest Continent."

"Medicine dust reminded me."

Xiao Yan nodded, his eyes filled with even greater determination.

No matter how far the journey, as long as there is hope of finding my father!

I, Xiao Yan, will go without hesitation.

In the Central Plains, on a vast plain.

As far as the eye could see, tents stood tall and banners fluttered in the wind. Countless warriors clad in various colored armors moved about, making the entire camp appear orderly and efficient.

This is the headquarters of the Six Clans Alliance.

Since the battle with the Soul Clan two months ago, the Six Clans Alliance has been stationed here, ready to fight the Soul Clan again at any time.

However, two months passed, and the Soul Clan remained completely silent. Even Gu Yuan was unable to locate the Soul Clan's spatial realm, which began to cause some people to become anxious.

Inside a magnificent tent in the center of the camp.

The six patriarchs of ancient races are gathered together, discussing their next course of action.

"Gentlemen, for the past two months, we have been searching for any trace of the Soul Clan, but we have come up with nothing. The Soul Clan seems to have vanished completely."

Gu Yuan's expression was solemn. He glanced at the people present and slowly began to speak.

Upon hearing Gu Yuan's words, the other clan leaders couldn't help but frown.

Especially Lei Ying, whose rugged face was now filled with impatience.

"Are we just going to wait like this? The strong members of our clan are getting restless!"

Lei Ying said in a deep voice:

Upon hearing this, Yan Jin nodded.

That's right!

If things continue like this, and no good solution is found soon...

The army is really easy to be worn down by the Soul Clan.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming somewhat tense, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the tent.

"Report!"

The next moment, a member of the ancient clan strode into the tent and respectfully bowed to Gu Yuan.

"What is it?"

Gu Yuan asked calmly.

"Young Clan Chief Gu Fei has returned, saying he has important matters to report!"

The tribesman answered respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow and smiled at the other clan leaders.

Gu Fei had unknowingly become the backbone of the entire army.

With Gu Fei gone, these old guys, despite their extremely high cultivation levels, couldn't really come up with any good solutions.

Hearing that Gu Fei had returned, the others felt like they had grasped a lifeline.

"Gentlemen, please let Gu Fei in."

The other clan leaders nodded in agreement, their gazes all falling on the tent entrance.

A moment later, Gu Fei walked in with steady steps.

"Elders, a traitor has appeared within our ancient clan, and has been lurking for a hundred years..."

Gu Fei got straight to the point, recounting the events that had occurred in the ancient realm.

As Gu Fei continued his narration, the atmosphere inside the tent grew increasingly heavy.

"Even an elder of the ancient clan has a spy from the Soul Clan. The Soul Clan's infiltration capabilities are truly beyond imagination!"

Yan Jin sighed, a hint of surprise flashing in his crimson eyes.

"If that's the case, then there's a high probability that there are also high-ranking Soul Clan spies within our clan!"

Lei Ying suddenly stood up, his robust body trembling slightly, clearly frightened by this possibility.

Gu Fei nodded, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces:

"Indeed, this is precisely what I wanted to remind you all. The Soul Clan's infiltration capabilities far exceed our imagination; it's likely that every clan has Soul Clan spies within it."

Upon hearing Gu Fei's words, the expressions of the clan leaders present all turned ugly.

Gu Fei, of course, couldn't go into too much detail.

In the original story, the ancient jades of the Thunder Clan and the Flame Clan were stolen by spies within their own clans.

However, the original work did not specify which member of the Yan Clan or the Lei Clan was the spy.

Therefore, it's certain that there are spies involved!

However, Gu Fei could neither speak openly nor expose himself.

"So how should we deal with this?"

Yao Dan asked, frowning.

"I suggest that the clan leaders keep this information confidential for now."

"Especially now that the army is being held back, morale cannot be allowed to collapse!"

"It would be best to secretly investigate whether there are any spies within the clan."

Gu Fei pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.

Upon hearing Gu Fei's suggestion, the clan leaders nodded in unison.

"Excellent, very thoughtful."

Gu Yuan agreed. (End of Chapter)
