83: Chapter 82 The Soul Emperor is coming to the wedding?
"Lord Nihility, mercy! Your subordinate really didn't lie to you! I had already prepared the Soul Essence, but who would have thought a mysterious expert would suddenly break into the Heaven Hall and snatch it all away without a word!"
"The opponent's strength is far above mine, their aura is strange, and they could even ignore the Seal I set. I tried my best to stop him, but I simply couldn't! Your subordinate really did his best..."
Soul Mie Sheng was as anxious as a monkey at this moment.
Void Swallowing Flame stared at him with cold eyes and suddenly caught the key point of his words: "You said he could ignore your Seal?"
Soul Mie Sheng nodded hurriedly and said breathlessly, "Yes, yes, Lord! The Seal I set might not be easily broken even by a Six-Star Dou Sheng, but he passed right through it without any hindrance at all!"
Void Swallowing Flame fell silent, the black flames around him subsiding slightly, but the fury in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
Possessing the ability to ignore Seals, in the entire Fighting Qi Continent, perhaps only that clan could do it.
Ancient Void Dragon!
"Damned Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan!" Void Swallowing Flame spat through gritted teeth, his eyes full of resentment. "To actually ruin my great plan!"
Delaying his Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm Soul, Void Swallowing Flame wished he could charge straight to their door immediately.
But he couldn't do that; he had also heard about the strength of the forty-plus Dou Shengs of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.
When he first learned this information, he didn't believe it.
It was completely inconsistent with the intelligence he had gathered.
But now, many people had witnessed the migration of Dragon Island, and the auras of over forty Dou Shengs couldn't be faked.
Void Swallowing Flame was very puzzled.
What happened to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan only having a few low-star Dou Shengs left?
How did so many Dou Sheng experts suddenly appear?
Not only did it hinder his Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm Soul, but it might even affect the Hun Clan's great plan.
Not just Void Swallowing Flame, even Hun Tiandi was no longer calm.
Ever since sensing the aura of that Nine-Star Dou Sheng, he had ended his seclusion and given up on nursing his injuries.
A strange Nine-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage expert appearing at this juncture left him no room for the slightest carelessness.
The thousand-year plan hadn't officially begun yet; any unexpected event could disrupt the deployment.
His priority was to find that Nine-Star Dou Sheng, clarify their identity, whether they were friend or foe, and if they would affect the Hun Clan's plans.
And the commotion caused by the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan recently was too great, with over forty Dou Shengs pulling Dragon Island in a migration, being incredibly high-profile.
It was hard for Hun Tiandi not to link that Nine-Star Dou Sheng with the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.
He raised his hand and took out a red-gold invitation from his sleeve; the edges were embroidered with fine Spirit Clan patterns, and it felt cool to the touch.
This was an invitation sent by the Spirit Clan some time ago. The content was simple: inviting the Hun Clan to the Spirit Realm to attend the grand wedding of Ling Yuan and Zi Yan.
Both the Spirit Clan and the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan planned to hold a grand wedding. After all, it was a marriage between two clans, concerning the prestige of two major powers, so they simply invited all the Dou Di Clanss in the Fighting Qi Continent. Even the Hun Clan, which had always been at odds with the others, was not left out.
Hun Tiandi held the invitation, his gaze deep as he murmured to himself, "Could that Nine-Star Dou Sheng be a Void Ancient Dragon..."
He applied slight pressure with his fingertips, creating a crease on the edge of the invitation.
Next, Hun Tiandi summoned a subordinate.
Soon, a black-robed Hun Clan Elder quickly walked into the hall and bowed. "Your subordinate greets the Clan Chief."
Hun Tiandi threw the invitation onto the desk, his tone unquestionable. "Bring the message to the Spirit Clan, say that I will personally attend the ceremony."
The Elder was stunned for a moment, then responded, "Your subordinate obeys."
He knew the Clan Chief rarely made a move, and now that he was taking the initiative to attend the Spirit Clan's wedding, there must be another purpose, but he didn't dare ask more and turned to leave.
...
Meanwhile, on the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan's side, Zhu Kun was very happy after moving Dragon Island next to the Spirit Realm.
Because just now, his efficiency in relocating the clan had been affirmed by Zi Yan.
Although it was just a "thank you for your hard work," it made Zhu Kun incredibly excited.
He saw hope; his daughter would soon accept him!
Thinking this, he quickly called over those Void Ancient Dragon experts to go out and look for treasures.
With the wedding date approaching, his individual strength was limited after all, so he thought of having these fellows help in the search—more people meant more power.
Thus, a strange scene appeared in the Central Plains.
The Void Ancient Dragons, who had always remained hidden and rarely appeared in public, had been appearing frequently lately, some in human form and others maintaining their giant dragon form, traversing every corner of the Central Plains.
Wherever they went, any rare medicinal herbs or exotic treasures were completely swept away.
The originally peaceful continent became lively because of the Void Ancient Dragons.
...
At the same time, inside the Spirit Clan hall.
Ling Mie sat in the main seat with a solemn expression, holding a black letter. Seeing Ling Yuan walk in, he handed the letter over directly:
"Take a look at this, the reply sent by Hun Tiandi."
Ling Yuan was a bit surprised. A letter from Hun Tiandi?
Such strange words.
He took the letter and quickly scanned it.
The content of the letter was roughly like this: "Brother Ling, counting the time, we haven't met for a thousand years. For your nephew's grand wedding, I wish to personally go to the Spirit Realm to observe the ceremony. I wonder if it's convenient for you, Brother Ling?"
Ling Mie leaned back in his chair and said in a heavy voice, "Hun Tiandi wanting to personally observe the ceremony is definitely not just to join the fun; he certainly has another purpose."
He had dealt with Hun Tiandi for many years and knew his character well; he never acted without a benefit.
Ling Yuan put down the letter, his face full of surprise.
He remembered clearly that Hun Tiandi should still be in seclusion recovering from injuries.
According to common sense, unless something major happened to the Dou Di Clans, it wouldn't affect his seclusion at all.
But now, he actually took the initiative to propose attending his wedding!
A big shot of this level definitely wouldn't just want to join the fun.
Nor could it be because of a minor Dou Zun and Young Clan Leader like himself.
There was only one possibility: Hun Tiandi wanted to probe the background of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.
"Dad, if he wants to come, let him. Anyway, with Zhu Kun here, we don't need to fear him causing trouble!"
With Zhu Kun present, Hun Tiandi wouldn't dare do anything.
Ling Yuan was very certain of this.
Currently, the Hun Clan hadn't officially made a move yet, and the seven Dou Di Clanss were still intact.
If Hun Tiandi dared to cause trouble on the Spirit Clan's territory, not only would he gain no benefit, but he would also immediately be attacked by the rest of the Dou Di Clanss.
Hun Tiandi was a formidable figure; it was impossible for him not to have thought of this.
"This Hun Tiandi has probably sensed Zhu Kun's existence and wants to investigate personally." Ling Mie wasn't stupid and had also guessed the other party's purpose.
Ling Yuan smiled and said frankly, "Then let him probe. Isn't it better to let them all know that our Spirit Clan has a Nine-Star Dou Sheng backing us?"
He didn't want to play any game of pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger by making Zhu Kun hide.
Waiting for the Hun Clan to attack before revealing Zhu Kun.
That would be stupid.
Displaying him openly to make the Hun Clan wary is the way to go.
If the Hun Clan is wary, then the Spirit Clan can remain safe and sound, and he will have time to grow.
Ling Mie nodded, feeling that his son's words made sense.
"Then let him come!"
