236: Chapter 230 The Soul Emperor Suspects an Undercover Agent

Hun Tiandi stood high above the Soul Realm, coldly sweeping his gaze over all the assembled Hun Clan dou sheng, his eyes filled with scrutiny.

Everyone who was swept by his gaze felt their hearts tighten, subconsciously lowering their heads; not a single person dared to look him in the eye.

The meticulously planned Emperor Slaying Array had ultimately failed, leaving Hun Tiandi feeling extremely displeased, and he began to suspect that a mole had appeared within the Hun Clan.

In his view, his plan had been perfect—feigning weakness to suffer heavy injuries, luring them into a trap—every step had been flawless, with no reason for failure.

Yet, Ling Yuan and Zhu Kun had stopped and retreated at the final moment, refusing to fall for the trap.

Unable to fathom the reason, Hun Tiandi immediately suspected that something had gone wrong within the clan.

In any case, Hun Tiandi would never dream that Ling Yuan was a Transmigration user.

He had always believed that the Hun Clan's trump cards were hidden perfectly, that the secret of the Emperor Slaying Array could not possibly be known to outsiders, and that all his schemes were seamless.

But these were, from beginning to end, merely his own thoughts.

Next, Hun Tiandi began to investigate the mole.

...

Meanwhile, Ling Yuan's mindset was the complete opposite of Hun Tiandi's.

This battle had been a massive harvest, and he was in a great mood, returning leisurely to the Spirit Realm with Zhu Kun.

Ling Mie breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Zhu Kun and his own son had returned unharmed, before asking about the situation of the great battle.

Ling Yuan proudly stated his battle record: "Except for Gu Yuan, all dou sheng of the Gu, Yan, and Lei Clans have been slain; Void Swallowing Flame is heavily injured and on the verge of death; and Hun Tiandi has also suffered not-insignificant injuries."

After this battle, the Spirit Realm, together with the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, stood firmly at the very peak of the continent.

While Ling Mie felt happy, he could not help but feel some concern.

"Gu Yuan has now become a lone commander; in the future, he will definitely seek revenge on us in the dark, so we must be extra vigilant."

Ling Yuan nodded, acknowledging his words.

Gu Yuan looked wretched now, a lone commander, but no one dared to truly underestimate him.

You could say Gu Yuan was cowardly, but you could not say Gu Yuan was weak.

His foundation as a Nine-Star Dou Sheng in the Late Stage remained; if he truly fought for his life, his destructive power would still be terrifying.

Ling Yuan: "Just being slightly vigilant and strengthening our guard is enough; with our current strength, we do not need to fear Gu Yuan too much."

Now that the Spirit Realm and Dragon Island had Zhu Kun, as well as so many high-tier dou sheng, even if Gu Yuan came, he could not stir up any trouble.

At most, he could only cause some destruction on the periphery and kill some weaklings.

Currently, no one could kill Gu Yuan, so they would just develop steadily for a few years, and once he achieved a Breakthrough to Dou Di, he could easily deal with him.

Next, Ling Mie asked about other matters:

"Since Yan Jin and Lei Ying have both died in battle, did you get your hands on the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade of the Yan Clan and the Lei Clan?"

Reminded by his father, Ling Yuan finally reacted and took out the two men's storage rings.

Ling Yuan had undergone Fusion with Source Qi, so he had never cared much about the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.

In his view, as long as one piece of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was with Zhu Kun and not taken away by others, that was enough.

One piece and seven pieces were, in fact, no different.

Ling Yuan took out the storage rings of Yan Jin and Lei Ying to inspect them.

Inside were many Heaven And Earth Treasure, Cultivation Technique, and Medicinal Pill; their family assets were indeed abundant, but from start to finish, he did not see a shadow of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.

Ling Yuan made a judgment: "Yan Jin and Lei Ying both held the mindset of certain death and burned their lives; clearly, they did not intend to live. The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade should have been handed over to Gu Yuan."

Ling Mie was somewhat disappointed and sighed: "Gathering all eight pieces of ancient jade has become even more difficult."

Both father and son could guess that Gu Yuan would certainly not carry three or even four pieces of ancient jade by himself.

No matter how foolish Gu Yuan was, he would not put all his eggs in one basket; he would definitely hide them.

In this situation, even if they captured Gu Yuan alive, they might not be able to learn the whereabouts of the ancient jade from him.

Moreover, capturing a Nine-Star Dou Sheng in the Late Stage alive was itself a hundred times harder than killing him.

The joys and sorrows of people were not connected; Ling Mie found it troublesome.

Ling Yuan felt nothing; he said, "I will go Cultivate first," leaving his old man to worry by himself.

Attacking the Ancient World had taken two and a half months; counting the time, the Bodhi Ancient Tree was about to appear in the world.

Ling Yuan very much needed the enlightenment under the Bodhi Ancient Tree; he had to go get it.

When the time came for Ling Yuan to go and compete for the Opportunity, to guard against Gu Yuan, he would definitely need some high-tier dou sheng to escort him.

When he went out to compete for the Opportunity, the Spirit Realm and Dragon Island would be somewhat empty.

For the sake of Gu Yuan and the Hun Clan, Ling Yuan needed to produce some powerhouses in a short time to guard the home.

If one wanted to produce powerhouses in a short time, the only way was to refine dou sheng puppet.

Ling Yuan flashed, directly entering the Heavenly Tomb space.

With a wave of his large hand, dense bodies of dou sheng instantly covered the entire airspace, a truly spectacular scene.

These were all the spoils he had collected and snatched during this battle in the Ancient World.

They included a total of twenty-eight dou sheng bodies from the Gu, Yan, and Lei Clans.

In reality, the number of dou sheng who died in the three clans was far more than this, but most people were unwilling to obediently cooperate and let Ling Yuan kill them.

Most people thought about self-destruction, and Ling Yuan had no choice but to try his best to rescue them.

Well, to be precise, it should be called snatch-killing: killing them before they could self-destruct.

Thus, being able to collect twenty-eight dou sheng bodies was already very good.

Besides these, there were twelve Hun Clan dou sheng bodies.

These were the clansmen who had appeared along the way to block attacks and delay time for Hun Tiandi.

Added together, he had a full forty complete dou sheng bodies in his hands.

Once refined into Puppet, they would be a huge wave of powerful Dou Sheng combat strength!

And among this batch of bodies, the two with the highest quality were Yan Jin and Lei Ying, genuine Eight Star Dou Sheng in the Late Stage.

Ling Yuan raised his hand, and the Three Thousand Burning Flame slowly rose, covering a body, beginning to temper the body and refine the Puppet.

"Sigh, the power of this strange fire is not enough; it is a pity I could not keep Void Swallowing Flame..."

In the Heavenly Tomb, only the sizzling sound of flames roasting the bodies and the sound of Ling Yuan grumbling remained.

Refining an Eight Star Dou Sheng Puppet was not so easy.

Plus, Ling Yuan himself was afraid of refining such precious Materials into waste, so he was careful and even more careful.

...

After refining Puppet in the Heavenly Tomb for four months, all the Puppet were finally completed.

The boredom of constantly repeating the operation of refining Puppet went without saying; Ling Yuan felt that he himself was numb.

Later on, four low-star dou sheng puppet were accidentally refined into waste.

Looking at the Puppet arranged neatly in a row, Ling Yuan was full of a sense of accomplishment.

Not to mention the low-tier dou sheng, there were many high-tier dou sheng: the Eight Star Dou Sheng level Lei Ying, Yan Jin, and Gu Lie; the Seven-Star Dou Sheng level three immortals of the ancient clan.

Added to the previous Lei Clan Grand Elder, Soul Mirror, and Soul Sha Puppets, the number of high-tier dou sheng puppet in Ling Yuan's hands had reached an astonishing nine!

Now it was good; with so many powerful Puppet on him, even if Gu Yuan assassinated him, he would not be able to succeed easily!

Full of a sense of security.
