109: Chapter 108 Cooperation with the Soul Clan

Hun Tiandi's words made Ling Yuan feel that things were developing in a strange direction.

He and Zhu Kun had come on this trip specifically to stop the Hun Clan from annihilating the Shi Clan and to prevent the Hun Clan from shifting the blame, but looking at Zhu Kun's expression, it seemed increasingly like he was being swayed by Hun Tiandi's words.

Honestly, if he hadn't read the original work and didn't know Hun Tiandi's true motives, looking at the current situation, it would indeed seem that only by cooperating with Hun Tiandi would there be a chance to collect all the fragments of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, open the Ancient Emperor Cave, and obtain the Opportunity to become a Dou Di.

But the problem was that Hun Tiandi was too insidious and unfathomable.

Take this time for example; if Ling Yuan were not a Transmigration traveler, he probably wouldn't have been able to see through Hun Tiandi's plan.

Furthermore, Zhu Kun had killed two Seven-Star Dou Sheng of the Hun Clan. Anyone else would likely be desperate to fight Zhu Kun to the death, yet this Hun Tiandi could still calmly discuss cooperation with him.

Ling Yuan felt that he had underestimated Hun Tiandi before.

If he were not a Transmigration traveler, he would be completely unable to outplay such a villain.

This made Ling Yuan even more convinced that cooperating with such a person was akin to seeking skin from a tiger.

It could be anticipated that once the cooperation ended and Hun Tiandi achieved his goal of gathering the ancient jade and opening the Immortal Cave, he would inevitably discard them like worn-out tools and turn around to strike at him and Zhu Kun.

It was too risky.

Ling Yuan felt anxious and was just about to open his mouth to persuade Zhu Kun to reject Hun Tiandi's cooperation proposal, but just as the words reached his lips, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck his mind, and an idea popped up.

That's not right!

Zhu Kun is a Late Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng, what is there to fear?

Since Hun Tiandi was extending an olive branch now, instead of directly refusing and souring the relationship, it would be better to play along and pretend to agree first.

By infiltrating the enemy's ranks, he could better understand the other party's movements.

This way, Ling Yuan wouldn't have to worry about the Hun Clan, that poisonous snake hiding in the shadows.

If Hun Tiandi wanted to discard them like worn-out tools after the cooperation ended, it wasn't impossible for them to betray him halfway through the cooperation, catching him off guard and stabbing him in the back...

The more Ling Yuan thought about it, the more he felt this method was feasible.

As long as they kept a close watch and didn't let Hun Tiandi use that Emperor Slaying Array, it would be fine.

Thinking this, Ling Yuan ultimately did not interrupt the conversation between the two big shots.

If he used sound transmission to tell Zhu Kun to act, it might be discovered by Hun Tiandi.

It was better to let Zhu Kun improvise.

On Zhu Kun's side, after hearing Hun Tiandi's words, he was already tempted.

Relying solely on his own strength to collect the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was indeed a bit difficult.

The main issue was that Gu Yuan was not easy to deal with; if he couldn't kill Gu Yuan, and let him run away and hide,

the Fighting Qi Continent was so vast that if Gu Yuan wanted to hide, they wouldn't be able to find him even if they searched for a lifetime.

He pondered for a moment and slowly said: "Hmm, what you say makes sense, but I have one condition."

Seeing this, Hun Tiandi was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Please speak, Brother Zhu!"

"After opening the Ancient Emperor Cave, I must be the one to choose the Opportunity to become a Dou Di inside first!"

To be honest, this request from Zhu Kun was indeed a bit shameless.

The terms of cooperation hadn't been finalized yet, Hun Tiandi already had two pieces of ancient jade in his hands, and while Zhu Kun hadn't even exerted any effort yet, he was already thinking about seizing the biggest benefit and having priority in choosing the Opportunity.

Upon hearing this, a murderous intent instantly rose in Hun Tiandi's heart.

He secretly gritted his teeth and thought: This old Dragon has quite the beautiful plan; once the matter is accomplished, you will be the first one I eliminate!

But although he had murderous intent in his heart, Hun Tiandi dared not show it on the surface.

In order to utilize Zhu Kun, he had to temporarily suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart and nodded in agreement: "Very well, Brother Zhu, we shall do as you say."

The Hun Clan had just annihilated the Shi Clan, and the matter had already been exposed; they would inevitably face the combined pressure of the remaining Dou Di Clans next.

Although the Hun Clan was not afraid of these families, it would be very difficult to act as covertly as they had before.

It was not hard to imagine that with the Shi Clan as a cautionary tale, that old thing Gu Yuan would definitely keep a close eye on every move of the Hun Clan, not giving them any Opportunity to exploit.

The Hun Clan was now in urgent need of a way to break the deadlock, and the Zhu Kun before him was the key to doing so.

"Very well, Brother Zhu, but since you see that my Hun Clan has already taken the lead in annihilating the Shi Clan, shouldn't you also do something?"

Zhu Kun thought to himself that this was nothing difficult, and was just about to open his mouth to say: "What's difficult about that? I'll just go and annihilate the Medicine Clan."

But just as the words were about to leave his mouth, both he and Hun Tiandi's expressions changed simultaneously.

Both of them keenly sensed a powerful Aura approaching rapidly.

The intensity of that Aura was on the same level as theirs.

It was Gu Yuan!

The two exchanged a glance and tacitly stopped this shady transaction.

Hun Tiandi immediately circulated his Qi and transmitted his voice to Zhu Kun: "Brother Zhu, you can first hide your true intentions, and even pretend to have a conflict with me, putting on a show for Gu Yuan to see. When the time comes, we will give them a surprise!"

As the transmission ended, the Aura on Hun Tiandi's body surged instantly, Qi swirling around him, looking furious.

Zhu Kun nodded and immediately cooperated with him, Dragon might permeating his body, colliding with Hun Tiandi's Aura.

In this way, the posture between the two became somewhat tense, with a feeling that they might break into a fight at any moment, showing no sign that they had just been privately discussing cooperation.

Hun Tiandi: "Zhu Kun, do not think that just because we are in the same Realm that I will fear you. You killed two of my Elders and hurt Void Swallowing Flame; I have noted this grudge, just wait to welcome the crazy retaliation of my Hun Clan!"

Zhu Kun snorted coldly, his tone disdainful: "Hmph, based on your current state, wait until you have recovered from your injuries before coming to say that to me!"

Just when the two were exchanging verbal barbs and their Aura confrontation had reached its peak, Gu Yuan arrived at this very moment.

He was initially attracted by the powerful energy fluctuations generated when Zhu Kun killed Soul Mirror and Soul Sha earlier, and on his way here, he sensed another, stronger energy collision fluctuation.

On this Fighting Qi Continent, other than Zhu Kun and Hun Tiandi, there was no one else who could produce such strong fluctuations.

Gu Yuan originally came to watch the show, and incidentally to see if he could fish for some benefits.

He hoped that the two would fight as fiercely as possible, preferably leaving both sides severely injured.

When the Xiao Clan and the Hun Clan were fighting back then, his Gu Clan had done the same thing.

The result was also very good, with a bountiful harvest.

But passing by the Shi Realm and seeing the tragic state inside, he was instantly stunned.

The Shi Clan had been annihilated! And it was done by the Hun Clan!

What shocked him even more was that Void Swallowing Flame, who had once been heavily injured by him, had actually joined the Hun Clan.

Gu Yuan's heart could no longer calm down.

Fighting was one thing, but when it involved the annihilation of a clan, it was no longer a small matter.

The Hun Clan was clearly intent on competing for all the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade; now that they had acted against the weakest Shi Clan, who would be the next target?

And the one after that?

Once Gu Yuan arrived, the Nine-Star Dou Sheng currently existing on the Fighting Qi Continent were all gathered together.
