Battle Through the Heavens: The Soul Emperor's Only Daughter, I Am the Young Master of the Soul

Chapter 4: The Ancient Jade and Ring Acquired

Xiao Zhan and his son Xiao Yan had no doubts about Hun Qing's words. Just based on the two terrifyingly powerful figures behind her, they believed that she could really do it.

After all, for such a powerful person to willingly protect her so closely, the force behind her must be enormous.

"As long as Yan'er can regain her former talent, I will give you anything you want!" Xiao Zhan's eyes were filled with hope, showing a determination to do whatever it takes.

"Father..." Xiao Yan was moved as he looked at Xiao Zhan's distraught appearance.

"Simple, I only need two things from your Xiao family."

Xiao Yan stared directly at the girl at the head of the table, who seemed to be looking down on everything, and asked, word by word, "What do you want?"

Hun Qinghao changed her sitting posture, and a captivating smile appeared on her exquisite and beautiful face.

"The Xiao family's ancient jade, and..." Hun Qinghao paused slightly, her slender finger pointing to Xiao Yan, "and the black ring on your finger!"

Upon hearing this, the father and son below were both shocked, not expecting that the mysterious girl wanted these two things.

Xiao Zhan touched the ancient jade on his chest, feeling somewhat hesitant.

This ancient jade is a family heirloom of the Xiao family. Although he doesn't know what secrets the ancient jade hides, it is a symbol of his position as the clan leader.

Xiao Yan subconsciously touched the black ring on his finger. He didn't know what ancient jade was, but this ring was a keepsake left to him by his mother, and he cherished it deeply.

Xiao Yan was extremely unwilling to give away his mother's belongings as a bargaining chip for his sake.

"I was careless. I didn't expect that little girl's goal was the ring..." The old man who owned the ring had absorbed Xiao Yan's fighting spirit for three years and had awakened during this time. When he heard that Hun Qing wanted the ring where he lived, he immediately felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.

Yao Chen knew the Soul Hall's attire all too well; the two behind this mysterious girl were clearly elders of the Soul Hall.

In order to avoid being discovered by Hun Qinghao, Yao Chen dared not reveal the slightest trace of his presence and could only hope that Xiao Yan would be more assertive.

Seeing Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan hesitate, Hun Qinghao's smile slowly disappeared. His deep purple eyes seemed calm, but they exuded a cold and ruthless aura that sent chills down one's spine.

"What, you're not willing to make this deal?"

The girl's voice was ethereal, yet it carried a chilling quality, like ice shattering and jade breaking, which startled Xiao Zhan and his son Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Zhan, in your heart, is your son's bright future less important than a piece of ancient jade of unknown efficacy?"

"Xiao Yan, is it because you can't bear to part with your mother's belongings? But don't forget, there's still the three-year agreement waiting for you!"

With just a few words, Hun Qing struck at the sore spots of the Xiao family father and son, grasping their weaknesses.

"Of course not!" Xiao Zhan suddenly raised his head and roared, then clenched his fists and lowered his head again. "But the ancient jade..."

"No buts!" Hun Qing's patience ran out, and he interrupted sharply.

She slowly extended her right hand, and a small cluster of black flames emerged from her fair palm.

The instant the world-destroying black flames appeared, a terrifying aura of destruction instantly permeated the sealed space, seemingly endless.

Yao Chen, who was inside the ring, also felt the destructive aura that seemed to threaten to destroy the world. He was greatly shocked and his face showed disbelief.

This girl from the Soul Palace actually possesses such a terrifying strange fire!

What kind of flame is this?

Why has he never seen any description of this kind of flame on the list of strange flames?

Upon the appearance of the world-destroying black flames, Xiao Zhan and his son Xiao Yan, whose cultivation levels were low, felt a strong sense of fear from the bottom of their hearts, as if their bodies and souls were about to be torn apart.

"It's your honor that I'm willing to reason with you. If you're not willing to listen, then..."

"I also know a little bit of martial arts, so don't blame me for being ruthless then!"

Hun Qinghao wore an angelic smile, but his words were extremely dangerous.

She is the daughter of the Soul Emperor, and has inherited some of her father's ruthlessness and cruelty.

If the Xiao family father and son are truly ungrateful, Hun Qing would not mind making up for the fact that her father did not eliminate them completely back then!

"Sixth Elder, Seventh Elder."

Hun Qinghao called out softly, and the Sixth and Seventh Heavenly Venerables behind her exuded a chilling killing intent.

Under this murderous intent, Xiao Zhan trembled with fear, terrified that Hun Qing might target the Xiao family. He quickly agreed, "Alright, Xiao Zhan is willing to offer the ancient jade!"

After saying this, Xiao Zhan took out the ancient jade and presented it with both hands.

Hun Qinghao's lips curled up slightly, and with a gentle wave of her hand, the boundless killing intent instantly vanished.

She took the ancient jade into her hand and smiled with satisfaction. Of the eight pieces of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, she now had four. If she had the chance, she could first go to the Burning Heaven Refining Tower of Canaan Academy to explore the way.

With a flick of her jade-like hand, she carefully put away the ancient jade. Then, Hun Qing turned her gaze to Xiao Yan. "And you? Are you still reluctant to part with your ring?"

Xiao Yan clenched his fists, his dark eyes burning with an intense flame of resentment.

Looking at the beautiful girl who was strong and domineering, and who was ready to kill at the slightest provocation, Xiao Yan's initial amazement had completely dissipated.

This isn't some fairy, she's clearly a little witch!

Although Xiao Yan was extremely unwilling to give up the ring, he had no power to resist Hun Qinghao and the forces behind her, so he had no choice but to give it up with a heavy heart.

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, took off the ring from his finger, held it up in front of Hun Qinghao, and looked at her earnestly, saying, "I hope you keep your word!"

Yao Chen, inside the ring, was furious: It's over! After all this time, he still couldn't escape the clutches of the Soul Palace!

Xiao Yan, weren't you quite assertive when you made that three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran?

Why can't you just stop being so tough?

Hun Qinghao received the ring, examined it for a moment, and then said with disdain, "It's really ugly!"

Yao Chen: "..."

You insist on having her even though you think she's ugly. This young lady has so many demands!

After making a comment, Hun Qinghao stretched out her left hand to compare it and found that the ring was a bit too big, so she wore it on her thumb as a thumb ring.

"I've already given you the ancient jade and the ring. I hope you can keep your promise and help me restore my cultivation talent!" Seeing that the girl was only playing with the ring, Xiao Yan suppressed his anger and reminded her in a deep voice.

In fact, even if Hun Qinghao regretted it on the spot, Xiao Yan couldn't do anything to her. But Xiao Yan wanted to gamble on the pride of this mysterious girl.

"Don't worry, I would never go back on a promise I made myself!" Hun Qinghao looked down at Xiao Yan with an air of arrogance on her face.

"This is an eighth-grade elixir, the Fuling Qingdan, which can help those whose cultivation level has fallen to the Dou Zhe realm to recover their peak strength without any side effects." Hun Qinghao waved her small hand gently, and a purple jade box appeared and floated towards Xiao Yan.

Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan stared at the exquisitely patterned black jade box before them, their bodies jolting violently.

"An eighth-grade elixir!"

The father and son exclaimed in surprise, then gasped. Xiao Yan carefully opened the jade box, his trembling hands almost dropping it.
