368: Out of the Heavenly Tomb, Soul Cliff is in trouble

The sky was clear for thousands of miles, and sunlight shone between a lush green mountain forest.

A certain part of the Void Realm suddenly twisted.

Seeing this scene, the figures sitting cross-legged on the various mountain Peaks all stood up.

“They’re finally coming out.”

“Three years have passed in the Sky Tomb. I wonder what the situation is like and whose progress will be the greatest.”

“No losses are the greatest gain.”

Everyone’s eyes, filled with tension and anticipation, were fixed firmly on that spot in the Void Realm.

The Sky Tomb was not a safe place after all. Although it could quickly increase one’s strength, one might also lose one’s life.

“The three from the Lei Clan are all out.”

“Lin Xiu doesn’t seem to have improved much; he’s probably only a Three-Revolutions Dou Zun. He was already a Nine-Star Dou Zun before he went in.”

“Oh, Yao Xingji from the Yao Clan doesn’t seem to have come out.”

“Only one person from the Soul Clan went in, and unexpectedly, he’s gone too.”

“Look quickly, that must be Xiao Yan from the Xiao Clan. This aura, he’s actually reached Nine-Revolutions Dou Zun! Xiao Xuan really left behind a lot of good things!”

Each figure’s appearance would cause a stir of discussion, and this sound reached its Peak when Xiao Yan appeared.

In the crowd, Lin Xiu felt a bit relieved seeing this scene. It was best to have Xiao Yan attract attention.

He didn’t like to reveal himself in front of so many powerhouses of the Ancient Family, fearing he wouldn’t be able to leave the Ancient Family.

“Lin Xiu, you killed Hun Li, didn’t you?!”

In the distance, Hun Ya suddenly attacked with a sharp voice, instantly drawing many gazes to Lin Xiu.

Being stared at by everyone, Lin Xiu’s brows furrowed slightly, “You need evidence to accuse someone; don’t just slander people casually.”

“Did you forget what you said to me before you entered the Sky Tomb yourself?”

Hun Ya said in a deep voice, “You said you would eliminate us in the Sky Tomb. Since you dared to say it, do you not dare to admit it?”

As his voice fell, the leading Elders of the Ancient Family, Yan Clan, Shi Clan, and others all showed expressions of astonishment and understanding.

No wonder someone from the Soul Clan suddenly withdrew… Lin Xiu shrugged, “You all said similar things to Xiao Yan too. If you say I killed Hun Li, bring out the evidence, and I’ll admit it.”

“That’s right, Hun Li once tried to ambush me and Xun'er in the Sky Tomb. Fortunately, he was alone, so he didn’t succeed.”

Xiao Yan undoubtedly stood firmly by Lin Xiu’s side and immediately retorted.

And his words carried a lot of information.

The Ancient Family had originally intended to observe, but now many Elders burst out with Dou Qi.

“Hun Lin, you actually dared to lay hands on our Family’s Divine Grade Bloodline?!”

“Hun Lin, did you instigate this matter? Daring to do such a thing in the Ancient Family, do you believe I won’t let you leave the Ancient Family?!”

“You are simply going too far! If even a trace of our Divine Grade Bloodline is harmed, just wait for war to break out!”

Those Elders were filled with righteous indignation. If it weren’t for Elder Tong Xuan being present, they probably would have rushed up and beaten the few Soul Clan members to death.

“Xun'er, is what Xiao Yan said all true?”

Elder Tong Xuan’s expression was serious. Divine Grade Bloodline was the Foundation of every Family, a seed that, with good Cultivation in the future, could challenge the Peak of Dou Sheng.

The Soul Clan actually dared to launch a sneak attack in the Sky Tomb!

Xun'er nodded, “Elder, it’s a good thing Xiao Yan Ge-ge and I were together, so Hun Li didn’t succeed.”

Upon receiving the answer, Tong Xuan immediately glared at the Soul Clan, “Hun Lin, you must give me an explanation for this matter!”

“Hmph, I think you’re just quibbling. Who doesn’t know the relationship between Xiao Yan and Lin Xiu?”

Even if Hun Lin had privately given instructions before, he couldn’t possibly admit it now.

He coldly swept his gaze over Lin Xiu and Xiao Yan, “Today we are in the Ancient World, so I’ll let you be arrogant for a while longer. But Hun Li’s death, this old man will definitely hold you two responsible for it. My Soul Clan will surely seek revenge in the future!”

“Mr. Lin is my savior! If you dare to touch him, don’t blame me for not warning you!”

Huo Zhi suddenly stepped forward to speak for Lin Xiu, which genuinely surprised the Ancient Family and Yan Clan.

It also made a trace of astonishment flash across Hun Lin’s face.

However, he didn’t emphasize anything further, only his eyes were cold, revealing a certain meaning, and he left directly with another Elder and Hun Ya.

The Yao Clan and Yan Clan separately pulled their Clansmen aside to inquire about the situation inside the Sky Tomb.

Huo Zhi glanced in Lin Xiu’s direction but still didn’t mention Yao Xingji’s ambush, attributing her injuries at the time to the great storm in the Sky Tomb.

On the Yao Clan’s side, the Yao Clan woman also honestly explained, stating that she had gotten separated from Yao Xingji, then encountered a great storm, and Yao Xingji had not appeared for a long time, possibly perishing in the great storm.

Upon learning this news, the Yao Clan Elder showed a complex expression of heartache and vexation.

Firstly, Yao Xingji held a high position in the Yao Clan, and his teacher occupied an Elder position in the Yao Clan.

Secondly, the Nine Nether Wind Flame was gone.

No matter what, this was also a Strange Flame, and its ranking on the Strange Flame Ranking was not low.

On the other side, Lin Xiu declined Gu Qingyang’s invitation to be a guest and was the first to leave the Ancient World.

Although the academy had Mang Tianchi overseeing it, nothing unexpected should happen.

But Lin Xiu felt that if he didn’t investigate the matter thoroughly, there would always be a knot in his heart.

Gu Qingyang escorted Lin Xiu all the way to outside the Ancient World.

“Brother Lin, next time you come to the Ancient World, input your Dou Qi into it, and I will come to pick you up when I sense it.”

Gu Qingyang handed Lin Xiu a Jade Slip.

Huo Zhi and Huo Xuan also each gave Lin Xiu such a Jade Slip.

The two brothers of the Lei Clan did the same.

Lin Xiu accepted it directly, without being polite.

Because if he were to face the Soul Clan later, he would indeed need to contact these people.

But certainly not now.

Currently, his strength was too weak, and he had no say. Moreover, revealing the Soul Clan too early would only make them reveal their plans ahead of time.

Soul Emperor had been preparing for many years to achieve his plan of becoming an Emperor.

Afterward, Lin Xiu tore open the Void Realm, his figure escaping into the spatial passage, transforming into a streak of light and traversing.

With his movement Fighting Skill promoted to Heaven Rank, he no longer needed to borrow the Space-Time Boat to unleash powerful speed… Above a forest, three figures suddenly emerged from the Void Realm.

“Hun Ya, are you sure you want to intercept Lin Xiu and Xiao Yan?”

Hun Lin looked at him with a frown.

Because they were only participating in the Sky Tomb, rarely would anyone actively provoke an Ancient Dou Di Family during the journey.

Therefore, his strength was not high, only an Eight-Star Dou Zun, plus his companion and Hun Ya.

The three of them had no chance of winning against Lin Xiu, let alone Xiao Yan, who had somehow gotten lucky and even Breakthrough to Dou Zun Nine Revolutions.

“I didn’t participate in the Sky Tomb this time; Grandpa will definitely blame me if he knows.”

Hun Ya spoke softly first, then his gaze swept over the two, “Furthermore, Hun Li died in the Sky Tomb. If we don’t take some other action to compensate for this, do you two think you’ll have a good outcome when you return to the Soul Clan?”

Hun Lin and the other person immediately pursed their lips tightly.

To be able to participate in the Sky Tomb, one needed both talent and status to be qualified. Hun Li’s lineage held a similarly high position among the many branches of the Soul Clan.

Willingly sending Hun Li to participate in the Sky Tomb naturally also hoped that Hun Li would have an improvement.

Now that the person was dead, they indeed needed an explanation.

Hun Ya had been observing the two’s expressions, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, “As early as when the Sky Tomb began, I made arrangements. You two only need to cooperate. Once we successfully capture them both, I guarantee that not only will you not be punished when you return, but you will also receive credit.”

Saying that, he took out a Jade Slip and crushed it.

The next second.

The Void Realm twisted, a large amount of black mist surged, and then a figure emerged.

The newcomer wore black armor, had a saber scar at the corner of his eye, and exuded the fluctuation of a One-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage.

“Greetings, Elder Hun Hai.”

Hun Lin looked closely, then quickly bowed, a surprised expression appearing on his face.

No wonder Hun Ya dared to propose this; it turned out Hun Ya had called over the Elder by his grandfather’s side early on.

“You two are to act as if you’ve never seen me, understand?”

Hun Hai’s expression was indifferent as he swept his gaze over the two.

“We know the rules, please rest assured, Elder.”

Hun Lin quickly nodded.

“Now we just wait for Lin Xiu and Xiao Yan to come out!”

An excited expression surged onto Hun Ya’s face.
