107: At the clan meeting, Yun Yun was targeted by the Void Devouring Flame
Chapter 107: Clan Meeting, Yun Yun Targeted by Void Swallowing Flame
As a surge of information poured into his mind, Soul Cang gained a clear understanding of the Fire Spirit Three Transformations.
At the same time, Soul Cang finally dared to believe that what had just happened wasn't an illusion; Yao Chen truly was a person blessed with great fortune.
However, another question immediately arose.
Since Yao Chen had great fortune, and he had given Yao Chen things before, why hadn't it triggered earlier?
After some thought, Soul Cang pinpointed a key factor.
Trust!
Previously, whether it was helping Yao Chen's soul recover or promising him a Half-Saint body, none of these were truly significant benefits.
Aside from the former's soul power recovery, Soul Cang felt he was treating Yao Chen more like Soul Void Son had promised him.
Yao Chen's current trust in him had likely developed gradually over the past few years, due to his genuine kindness towards Xiao Yan.
But Yao Chen's great fortune… Soul Cang thought about it and felt it was somewhat acceptable.
Most people in Yao Chen's situation, betrayed by a disciple and targeted by the Soul Hall, would have long since died without a burial place, or even been captured by the Soul Hall later on.
Under such circumstances, it would be very difficult to recover.
Yet, Yao Chen, through Xiao Yan, not only regained a body but also became stronger than he was at his peak, reaching the Dou Saint stage.
Later, Yao Chen even became the Alliance Leader of the Heavenly Mansion because of this.
“Kid, why are you spacing out?” Yao Chen had been talking for a while, and noticing Soul Cang's lack of reaction, staring blankly at him, he couldn't help but raise his voice.
Soul Cang snapped back to reality and blurted out, “Old man, why don't you call me Big Brother too?”
Darn it!
As soon as he said it, Soul Cang regretted it. Damn it, he was influenced by Xiao Yan.
This was an investment system, not a 'recognize me as your little brother' system. It was enough for Yao Chen to trust him; why did he need him to call him Big Brother?
If he actually did, how would Yao Chen face Xiao Yan in the future?
Yao Chen was stunned for a good while. It was only because he was in a soul state that he couldn't blush; otherwise, he would definitely be red-faced and steaming right now.
To think that he, Yao Chen, a man of considerable renown on the Dou Qi Continent, who had seen countless treasures, was being asked to call someone Big Brother just for looking at the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Flame?
Where would he put his old face?
“Venerable Yao, don’t be angry, don’t be angry. I just spoke without thinking.” Noticing Yao Chen glaring at him, Soul Cang quickly explained.
It took a good deal of comforting, plus his promise to help Yao Chen create a body once he obtained the Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire, for Yao Chen to calm down.
Otherwise, Soul Cang suspected that the old man might very well try to take him down with him in a fit of pique.
In the following time, Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo discussed their opinions and suggestions regarding the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Flame.
Both of them, being advanced in age, explained many things in great detail, providing experience that Soul Cang, with his short cultivation time, hadn't acquired.
Although Soul Cang's need for the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Flame was not very strong at this moment, he still listened attentively.
Because Yao Tianhuo's earlier words had indeed reminded him.
His own experience in cultivation was truly too shallow.
…
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for the Soul Clan's internal meeting.
Within the Soul Clan, there was an atmosphere of both celebration and solemnity.
Thanks to Soul Cang, Soul Lin Hua was assigned a good seat near the front this time. She brought Yun Yun and settled into their seats.
Clan meetings usually involved only important personnel, so the number of attendees wasn't large.
Therefore, the venue chosen was a central square within the Soul Clan's core, with a circular arena in the center and various seating arrangements around it.
One side was for individuals like Soul Lin Hua, another for outstanding family disciples like Soul Cang, and a third for important clan elders, such as Soul Void Son.
The final side was reserved for those of noble status, like Soul Emperor and Void Swallowing Flame.
At this moment, in the section for family disciples, most of the seats were already occupied, with only one or two remaining empty.
“Why hasn't Cang'er returned yet? Nothing could have happened, could it?” Soul Lin Hua caught sight of an empty seat, nervously clutched Yun Yun's hand, and her legs trembled continuously.
Yun Yun was no better than Soul Lin Hua at this moment.
One must know that before coming to the Soul Clan, she had always lived in the Gama Empire, where the appearance of a Dou Zong was considered a rare event.
What kind of people was she seeing now? Any one of them had an incredibly profound aura, at least starting from Dou Zun, and some even caused a stinging sensation when she looked at them.
Yun Yun didn't even dare to imagine what their strength might be.
If she had known earlier that she would be returning to such a place, she would never have followed along.
Taking a few deep breaths, Yun Yun forced a smile onto her somewhat stiff face: “Auntie, please don't worry now. Young Master Cang has his own plans. We just need to keep trusting him.”
On the other side.

Soul Fury sat in his chair, eyes closed, resting, when he suddenly felt someone bump his shoulder.
“Soul Cliff, aren't you bored?” Opening his eyes, Soul Fury looked at the other person, a little impatient.
Soul Cliff chuckled, “Nervous? No way, Soul Fury, do you really need to worry so much about dealing with a Soul Cang?”
“Bullshit.” Noticing that Soul Jade had also heard the sound and looked over, Soul Fury's face flushed slightly, a little angry, “I couldn't possibly be nervous. What is Soul Cang? Today, in front of all the clan elders and the clan leader, I'm going to smash him.”
Soul Jade smiled, “Soul Cliff, say less. Although Soul Fury is at the bottom among us, he's not someone Soul Cang can challenge.”
Saying that, Soul Jade patted Soul Fury's shoulder: “I believe in you. You must teach him a good lesson later.”
Soul Fury's shoulder twitched, shaking off Soul Jade's hand: “You two stop talking to me in that tone. We're all peers; you're not that much higher than me.”
The smile on Soul Jade's face faltered slightly: “You're right. Just don't make a mistake later. If you lose, then there really will be a difference between us.”
Soul Cliff chuckled, “Who knows? Soul Cang managed to reach Dou Zun in such a short time, he probably had some kind of fortuitous encounter. It's hard to say before the fight.”
“Fortuitous encounter?” Soul Fury snorted disdainfully, his sinister gaze sweeping over Yun Yun. Once Soul Cang loses, he'll have no standing in the Soul Clan. Since this woman was brought back by Soul Cang, perhaps I can pry some secrets about Soul Cang from her.
In the silence, time passed little by little, and a terrifying pressure that made one's soul tremble came from the sky.
Everyone present looked up, and Yun Yun also followed suit, gazing into the distance, only to see large patches of black mist surging, from which a figure emerged.
Beside this person, countless black flames surged, condensing into another figure.
“Greetings, Clan Leader. Greetings, Elder Xu.”
Almost as soon as the two figures appeared, the people present stood up one after another, bowing respectfully.
Yun Yun did the same, secretly observing the two out of the corner of her eye. How powerful must the Soul Clan's Clan Leader be?
And the person next to him, why did he look strangely odd?
Just as Yun Yun was pondering, Void Swallowing Flame's gaze, like lightning, swept over: “Hmm? Who brought a non-Soul Clan member here?”
Locked on by numerous gazes, Yun Yun's delicate body stiffened, feeling as if the blood in her veins had frozen at that moment.
She had a feeling that if she didn't answer correctly, she would die.
What should I say? Yun Yun's mind was blank.
Just then, Yun Yun suddenly felt a lightness on her body, as if someone had blocked the gazes for her. She looked up and indeed saw a person standing in front of her.
“Elder Xu, this is my person.” Soul Cang's lips curled slightly, meeting Void Swallowing Flame's gaze without fear.
Void Swallowing Flame's mouth twitched. My name is Void Swallowing Flame, don't call me Elder Xu, I'm not empty (xu)! !
