Chapter 1283
While the satisfied Lin Feng happily left the forest world and looked for a place to refine the elixir, in a meeting hall in the ancient world of the eastern region of Zhongzhou, a very beautiful woman in a green dress with unfocused eyes looked up at an old man with a goatee opposite her with a dull expression and asked mechanically.
"Ugh"
Seeing this situation, Gu Dao sighed helplessly, and then said: "We carefully questioned nearly 100,000 people from the Medicine Clan who escaped from the Medicine Realm and came safely to our Ancient Clan's territory. The result we got in the end was that we saw two Soul Clan Doushengs chasing Xiao Yan's soul body, leaving the Medicine Realm together, and finally disappeared."
"We have confirmed this from Yao Tian, Yao Ling, and Yao Chen. And the two pursuers are two of the four demon saints of the Soul Clan who have a grudge against the three immortals of our ancient clan. To be more specific, they are Hun Jing and Hun Sha."
Having said this, Gu Dao pointed at Yao Chen, who had a gloomy face and said nothing.
Then, Gu Dao took a deep breath and continued, "According to our calculations, Xiao Yan in his soul form could hardly defeat the two late-stage Seven-Star Dou Shengs. So, nine out of ten chances are that he didn't run away and was caught up and taken away by the two."
"However, Xiao Yan's soul jade pendant has not been completely broken yet. According to my inference, his soul should still exist in the world at this moment. The biggest possibility is that he is imprisoned in the soul world."
After hearing Gu Dao's words, Gu Xun'er, who had originally had a dazed expression, suddenly had endless anger and hatred surge on her pretty face.
Immediately, she clenched her fists and said in a grim tone: "Soul Clan, if you treat Brother Xiao Yan like this, I, Gu Xun'er, will never coexist with you!"
"Xun'er, don't let hatred cloud your mind. The Soul Clan is not so easy to deal with. Moreover, many people in the Medicine Clan said that after being injured by the clan leader, Xuwu Swallowing Flame has gone through a thousand years of seclusion and is now a nine-star Dou Sheng. And facing the Soul Clan with two nine-star Dou Shengs, even a strong clan like our Ancient Clan should not be careless. If you attack rashly, you may be ambushed by the Soul Clan and eventually wiped out. By that time, you will have no way to avenge Xiao Yan!"
Seeing that the former's emotions were showing signs of getting out of control, Gu Dao did not dare to let her emotions go any further, and quickly explained the pros and cons of the matter, hoping that his young lady could calm down.
As soon as he finished speaking, he added: "What's more, according to the information provided by many members of the Medicine Clan who escaped, the destruction of the Medicine Clan was also caused by the involvement of the Thunder Clan. So we must treat this matter with more caution. After all, there are now two nine-star Dou Shengs from the Soul Clan, plus an eight-star peak Dou Sheng from the Thunder Clan. We have to be careful!"
At this point, a solemn look appeared on Gu Dao's old face.
Who could have thought that the Thunder Clan would come to this point with the Soul Clan?
"Don't worry, Elder Gu Dao, I'm not that stupid. Besides, Brother Xiao Yan is still in the hands of the Soul Clan, so I naturally can't act rashly like this."
As she spoke, Gu Xun'er's eyes flashed with a fierce murderous intent, and then she said in a faint voice: "However, I plan to go out and relax. I will come back after I recover a little."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Xun'er turned around and walked out of the meeting hall with an expressionless face.
"Well, that's the best. But this young lady is not someone who can be trusted. And in this situation, if I dare to let you leave the Ancient Realm like this, the clan leader will definitely skin me alive!"
Seeing the former's departing back, Gu Dao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
But then he opened his mouth to remind her: "It's just that, young lady, the clan leader has invited the clan leader of the Yan clan to come to negotiate in person. Why don't you wait until this matter is resolved before leaving?"
"Shu~"
Hearing the former's words, Gu Xun'er, who was about to fly away from Gu Jie's body, suddenly stopped and stayed where she was.
Then, she nodded her head, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, and said: "In this case, I will also go to this meeting. If we have the help of the Yan Clan, the probability of saving Brother Xiao Yan's soul will be greatly increased."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Xun'er left the place quickly.
Looking at his young lady going away, Gu Dao then stroked his goatee and said thoughtfully, "It's just that the Soul Clan has already obtained the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from the Spirit, Stone, and Medicine Clan. Add to that the one they originally had, and the Thunder Clan that is now almost bound to the Soul Clan, and they have almost five Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade."
"Also, Xiao Yan has now fallen into the hands of the Soul Clan. If the Soul Clan also gets this Xiao Clan Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, I'm afraid it will be even more dangerous."
"Shu~"
When the former said this, Yao Chen, who had been sitting quietly in the hall without saying a word, couldn't help but flash a hint of anger in his eyes.
Although the other party has not directly stated his needs, Yao Chen has been in the mainland for so long, how can he not hear the hidden meaning of this person's words?
As for Gu Dao, after he finished speaking, he immediately turned his eyes to look at Yao Chen who was standing beside him, and said with a hint of meaning: "Yao Chen, as Xiao Yan's teacher, I wonder if he has ever told you where the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade of the Xiao Clan was hidden?"
"Under the current situation, if Xiao Yan fails to keep the secret, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade may fall into the hands of the Soul Clan. And you have to know that if the Soul Emperor collects all the ancient jades, opens the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Cave, and successfully finds the secret of advancing to the Dou Emperor, it will be a devastating disaster for the entire Douqi Continent. Therefore, it is the best choice for the Xiao Clan to temporarily keep the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in our Ancient Clan."
Hearing this, Yao Chen's hands hidden in his sleeves clenched uncontrollably.
This is simply too much!
His disciple has now been captured by the Soul Clan. These people don't want to save the fiancé of their family's eldest daughter, but immediately set their sights on their own disciple's Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade!
But then, he loosened his hand and said with a bitter feeling: "Elder Gudao, that piece of Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade is an item passed down by the ancestor of my disciple's family. Although I am his teacher, I have never asked about the items in his family. So, I don't know where Xiao Yanzi hid that piece of jade."
"Perhaps, it has now fallen into the hands of the Soul Clan."
"Ok?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Dao frowned, and then glanced at Yao Chen, who had a bitter look on his face.
Then, he waved his sleeves and said expressionlessly: "Since you don't know, our Ancient Clan will not force you. However, with your strength as a one-star Dou Sheng, it is somewhat unusual that you were able to escape from the Soul Clan earlier. For safety, we need to conduct a comprehensive inspection of you to prevent the Soul Clan from installing some monitoring or tracking methods on you."
At this point, he glanced at the storage ring on Yao Chen's hand and continued, "We also need to check the items in the storage ring to prevent the Soul Clan from tampering with certain items."
"It's all up to Elder Gu Dao."
Faced with such a great humiliation, Yao Chen's heart was filled with murderous intent, but his face showed no trace of negative emotion as he bowed.
He knew that the Ancient Clan, seeing that Xiao Yan was in trouble and with little hope of rescue, simply set their sights on the Xiao Clan's Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade.
Because of the existence of Xiao Yan and the remaining soul of Xiao Xuan in the Heavenly Tomb, the people of the Ancient Clan did not dare to act rashly.
But now, his disciple has been captured and Xiao Xuan's remaining soul has dissipated.
The ancient clan no longer had any scruples, and naturally revealed its long-hidden fangs, ready to strike again and snatch the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from the Xiao clan.
"Humph!"
When Gu Dao saw the former's unhurried expression, he snorted coldly, then waved his hand and sucked Yao Chen over.
At the same time, his fighting spirit quickly rushed out and penetrated into Yao Chen's body, sensing the latter's entire body clearly.
After finding no trace of the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade, Gu Dao immediately took off Yao Chen's storage ring without saying a word.
Use fighting spirit to enter and explore the space inside.
However, the result was disappointing to Gu Dao.
No trace of Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade was found on Yao Chen’s body or in his storage ring!
Seeing that he had gained nothing, the extremely disappointed Gu Dao let go of Yao Chen reluctantly and returned the ring to him.
Then he showed a slight fake smile on his face, and said in an extremely hypocritical tone: "After my inspection, the Soul Clan should not have done anything to you. Now that things are clear, you can move freely, including leaving the ancient world."
"Then I'll take my leave."
Hearing this, Yao Chen, who was extremely humiliated, immediately bowed and left without looking back.
At this moment, he finally saw the true face of the ancient clan.
It is useless to rely on this extremely hypocritical race to save his apprentice.
However, as he left, his eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but worry in his heart, "Xiao Yanzi, it seems that you have made the right move by handing over the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade to your master. Otherwise, if the Soul Clan gets the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, it will be troublesome. However, I don't know whether it is right or wrong for me to hand over the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade to Xun'er to keep."
"Although you have successfully avoided the search of this ancient road, I just hope that girl will not give up on you so easily and give the ancient jade to her father."
That’s right, when he separated from Xiao Yan, the latter gave him the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade of the Xiao clan and asked him to seek help from the ancient clan.
As for the Soul Clan's pursuers, Xiao Yan just held them off by himself.
Xiao Yan's original intention was that if the Ancient Clan directly agreed to provide reinforcements, Yao Chen would take the ancient jade first and return it to him later.
But if the request for help fails, Yao Chen must give the Natasha Ancient Emperor Jade to Gu Xun'er, and let the latter use the jade to persuade Gu Yuan to send people to help him.
After all, Xiao Yan knew in his heart that the most important thing to rescue his father and two brothers was that they were still alive.
As for the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade, although it can play a great role, it is also based on a premise.
That is, Xiao Yan is still alive and has the ability to talk to Emperor Hun Tian.
Otherwise, Xiao Yan would be completely dead.
On this continent, no one will go to the Soul Clan to save their family members regardless of the loss.
But unfortunately, no matter how much Xiao Yan planned, he never expected that he would be killed by Lin Feng.
And the strength of Lin Feng's side is so strong.
Otherwise, without the burden of the flesh, relying on the speed advantage and attack power of the emperor soul, he could drag them to the source of the ancient clan.
As long as Xiao Yan is not too unlucky, there is still a good chance.
"Hmph, go and secretly keep an eye on Yao Chen to see if he has hidden the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade."
Looking at Yao Chen's departing back, Gu Dao snorted coldly, then moved his mouth slightly and quickly sent out a message.
After all, within half a month after the war with the Medicine Clan ended, their Ancient Clan also conducted a lot of investigations on the Soul Clan.
During this period, they discovered that the Soul Clan had sent out a large number of strong men to search carefully along the route from the Medicine Clan to their Ancient Clan, as if they were looking for some important item.
And the thing that has attracted so much attention from the Soul Clan must be the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade from the Xiao Clan.
In this case, the Soul Clan should not have found the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade of the Xiao Clan.
