349: Tomb quota, Xun'er's attitude

Besides Mang Tianchi, who knew the inside story, everyone else thought Lin Xiu was from the Lei Clan.

After using the Black Demon Lightning, Lin Xiu undoubtedly won the duel.

This time, Mang Tianchi took Lin Xiu and the others away, and Gu Shan did not try to stop him again.

The others also left one after another, with only a few remaining to watch the rest of the Gu Clan's coming-of-age ceremony.

Though they sat around the square, their discussions were mostly about the battle between Lin Xiu and Gu Tong.

The appearance of the Black Demon Lightning completely exceeded their expectations and understanding.

The Black Demon Lightning, which could only appear when a ninth-grade Medicinal Pill was born, was a type of lightning that even a Dou Saint dared not easily ignore.

Lin Xiu actually hid it within his body; he was terrifying!

...In a courtyard in the Ancient World.

Four figures flashed in through the doorway.

"Hun Ya, were your words just now said on impulse?"

After entering the main hall, an Elder sat on a chair, looking at the young man beside him.

"No."

Hun Ya's face held no smile, only seriousness. He turned to Hun Li, "I advise you not to enter the Sky Tomb either."

Hun Li was startled, pointing at himself, "Are you joking?"

"I am very serious. If you go in, I cannot guarantee that you will come out alive."

Hun Ya's tone was heavy.

The earlier Elder frowned, "Hun Ya, explain yourself clearly."

"Elder Hun Lin, it's like this, I went to find Lin Xiu earlier..."

Facing the gazes of the three, Hun Ya repeated his conversation with Lin Xiu, as well as Lin Xiu's threatening words at the time.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a harsh laugh, tinged with sarcasm, rang out beside him.

Hun Ya frowned slightly, looking at Hun Li.

"When did you become so timid that you would be scared by Lin Xiu?"

Hun Li questioned, a smile in the corner of his eye.

"This isn't a matter of courage, Hun Li, you need to understand that Lin Xiu cannot be thought of as a normal person. He even dared to kill Celestial Blood River of the Hall of Souls, do you understand?"

Hun Ya reminded him.

"So what? Just because of a single sentence from him, you now don't even dare to enter the Sky Tomb? Do you know that this decision will cost you three precious years of Cultivation time?"

Hun Li's expression darkened.

Hun Ya nodded slightly, "Compared to losing my life, I'd rather waste these three years."

"Hun Ya! You make me feel like I don't know you!"

Hun Li hadn't expected him to be so afraid of Lin Xiu. After roaring, he left the main hall.

"Hun Ya, why don't you reconsider? If you give up now, it's like giving another spot to the Gu Clan. If this gets back to the Soul Realm, it will be hard to explain."

Hun Lin looked troubled. The time until the Sky Tomb opened was too short, and it was clearly too late to inform the Clan to arrange for someone else to come.

Another Elder advised, "The Sky Tomb is very large, and you might not even encounter Lin Xiu. Moreover, you can also seek the protection of your ancestors."

"No need to say more. I will explain any consequences to my grandfather myself."

Hun Ya's attitude was firm.

Seeing this, Hun Lin and the other Elder exchanged glances, sighing, and could only accept... In the spacious main hall, two figures sat facing each other.

"Elder Tong Xuan."

After the maidservant put down the tea and left, Mang Tianchi smiled lightly at the old man opposite him.

Tong Xuan took a sip, put down the cup, "Elder Mang, congratulations. I see Lin Xiu is so young and has such strong strength; his Bloodline must be at least ninth-grade."

What nonsense about ninth-grade... Mang Tianchi cursed inwardly. If Lin Xiu was truly from the Lei Clan, he would have gone to the Clan Chief long ago.

But on the surface, his smile remained, "Elder Tong Xuan, I actually have something I'd like to ask for your help with."

"Please speak."

Tong Xuan nodded gently.

"This time the Sky Tomb is opening, and the people of the Ling Clan haven't come. Can one of their spots be given to Lin Xiu?"

Mang Tianchi said.

Elder Tong Xuan's slightly lowered eyelids lifted a little, glancing at Mang Tianchi, "Elder Mang, are you planning to arrange for three people from the Lei Clan to enter the Sky Tomb this time?"

Mang Tianchi heard this and nodded, "Elder, you've seen it. Lin Xiu is making rapid progress. If he can enter the Sky Tomb, I believe his strength can still improve."

"But this doesn't comply with the rules. Elder Mang should also know that, all along, each Clan only has two spots to enter the Sky Tomb."

Elder Tong Xuan declined.

"That may be so, but if the Ling Clan doesn't come, and two spots are left empty, they can't just be wasted, right? Elder, is the Gu Clan planning to arrange for six people this time?"

Mang Tianchi retorted, "I won't be too excessive. Just give one of them to Lin Xiu. If not, I'll have to go to Clan Leader Gu."

"I'll try first. This matter isn't something I alone can decide."

Elder Tong Xuan didn't rush to refuse.

Under normal circumstances, if there were extra spots, they would definitely be taken by the Gu Clan.

Because every other Clan only brings two people, but the Lei Clan has one more this time, and the Ling Clan just happens to have two empty spots.

There was indeed some room for discussion.

"Anyway, you have to give one spot to Lin Xiu. Otherwise, I'll just let the Clan Chief come and take me back."

Mang Tianchi's words were telling Tong Xuan that if he didn't agree, he would cause trouble in the Ancient World.

As long as no one died, causing a ruckus would just mean the Clan Chief would have to come and negotiate, which was no big deal.

Coming out of the main hall, Mang Tianchi saw Xun'er outside, paused, but said nothing... The next day, there was still one day until the Sky Tomb opened.

In a room, many Elders of the Gu Clan gathered, their faces beaming with smiles.

"We are truly lucky this time. It's one thing that the Ling Clan didn't come, but the Soul Clan even had one person voluntarily withdraw. I think Gu Yao and Gu Zhen both have a chance to enter."

An Elder said with a smile.

The Sky Tomb has a limited number of entry spots each time. The more spots that are left empty, the more people from their Gu Clan can enter.

And the Sky Tomb is an excellent Cultivation environment.

According to the current situation, the Gu Clan could have as many as seven people enter.

"Should one of the Xiao Family's spots be given up? In the past, it was fine when there was no one from the Xiao Clan, but this time Xiao Yan is here."

Another Elder asked hesitantly.

In the room, the smiles paused slightly, and the Elders present whispered in discussion.

From their tone, they didn't seem too keen on giving up a spot.

"Mang Tianchi came to see me yesterday."

Everyone heard the voice and their gazes converged on Tong Xuan. He continued, "He wants a spot for Lin Xiu."

"Lin Xiu? How can this be? The Lei Clan's two spots are already full."

"Exactly! Unless he makes Lei Hong or Lei Tao withdraw."

Most of the Elders present disagreed. Entering the Sky Tomb meant being able to quickly improve one's strength and shorten Cultivation time.

Such a good thing should definitely be reserved for the younger generation of their Gu Clan.

Tong Xuan, calm and composed, said faintly, "He said that if we don't agree, he's prepared to have the Lei Clan Chief come and take him back."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was stunned, then turned their heads in unison.

"I'll go into seclusion as soon as I leave. You all just pay attention."

Gu Shan said directly. He knew very well that if the other Clan Chief was involved, that Mang Tianchi would definitely throw a tantrum. He had a conflict with him.

Perhaps he would be the first to get beaten.

"What's there to fear? With Elder Tong Xuan in charge, what waves can a single Mang Tianchi stir up?"

An Elder looked at the old man in front with hopeful eyes.

Bang!

Suddenly, the door was pushed open from outside, and then a seven-colored light shone, illuminating the room.

"Ever since the Xiao Clan left Central Plains, the spots have always belonged to the Gu Clan. After so many years, refusing to give up even one spot this time is a bit too much, isn't it?!"

Xun'er's clear and cold voice echoed in the room.

She was fearless under everyone's gaze, "This time, among the spots for entering the Sky Tomb, there must be Xiao Yan Ge Ge, otherwise, I won't enter either."

With that, she turned and walked two steps, then suddenly paused, "And, add Lin Xiu as well. The Gu Clan has five spots, which is enough. Taking so many every time, aren't you worried about displeasing the other Clans?!"

After stating her attitude, Xun'er left directly, giving the Elders no time to react.
