110: The caution of the Void Devouring Flame, the fierce fighting spirit

Chapter 110: Void Swallowing Flame's Caution, Battle with Soul Fury

Upon receiving confirmation from Void Swallowing Flame, Soul Emperor immediately prepared to capture Soul Cang and extract the specific information from him.

On this point, Soul Emperor had enough confidence. Even if Soul Cang's lips were sealed, he was confident he could get the information he wanted.

However, he was stopped by Void Swallowing Flame.

“Think clearly, even if you get the exact location now, it’s useless without the eight pieces of tuoshe ancient emperor jade,” Void Swallowing Flame said in a deep voice.

Seeing Soul Emperor's hesitant expression, he continued, “I know you are very strong, but think carefully, Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave is a Dou Emperor's Cave; you cannot break it open.”

At this point, Void Swallowing Flame observed the changes in Soul Emperor's expression, then added, “Also, if you knew, could you resist not going? Ever since the Xiao Clan was destroyed, the Soul Clan has been watched by the Ancient Clan. Your every move might be noticed, and then the other six clans will also discover the Gu Emperor Cave's location.”

Soul Emperor's expression changed repeatedly, finally calming down. He had been preparing for no less than a thousand years to become an Emperor, and he had made many arrangements.

When he destroyed the Xiao Clan, it was to obtain the Xiao Clan's tuoshe ancient emperor jade. Unfortunately, he was too hasty, allowing the Ancient Clan to arrive and intervene, ultimately letting the remaining members of the Xiao Clan escape with the jade talisman.

Soul Emperor did not want to make the same mistake a second time.

Noticing Soul Emperor's calm expression, Void Swallowing Flame then voiced his true concern: “Furthermore, haven’t you noticed that this boy, Soul Cang, is very similar to you in personality? If you were a Two-Star Dou Zun back then, facing two Nine-Star Dou Saints, would you have the confidence and courage to converse calmly, or even demand benefits?”

This… Soul Emperor, reminded, only then realized that he had been too focused on the news of Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave and had not paid attention.

Soul Emperor looked at him: “If I were his age, I definitely couldn’t.”

He did not hide anything from Void Swallowing Flame and spoke truthfully.

Void Swallowing Flame nodded: “Therefore, I speculate that Soul Cang dared to reveal this information, perhaps with other arrangements. It’s possible that once we make a move, news about Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave will spread everywhere.”

Soul Emperor was startled, a hint of lingering fear flashing in his eyes. This was indeed his oversight; he had not considered this point.

Given Soul Cang's reaction just now, he might indeed have such an arrangement.

Void Swallowing Flame smiled: “This son of yours is good. Cultivate him well, and he might even take over your position as Clan Leader.”

“Haha… we’ll see,” Soul Emperor said, shaking his head slightly, not taking his words to heart.

Afterward, the two returned to the outside world, where Soul Cang, who had returned earlier, was already the focus of everyone’s attention.

When Soul Emperor and Void Swallowing Flame returned, the two exchanged glances. Soul Emperor suddenly erupted in anger, accusing Soul Cang of providing false information, claiming it was a fake Gu Emperor Cave.

However, after Soul Emperor finished his accusation, he changed his tone, praising Soul Cang's thinking. Considering that he was also contributing to the Soul Clan, he would not be punished this time.

After a brief moment of surprise, Soul Cang realized that this was a different way of protecting himself.

He didn't explain further; the soul crystal was already in hand, and now he only needed the one from Soul Void Son.

Returning to their seats, Soul Jade, Soul Cliff, Soul Fury, and others visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Soul Jade, whose face once again returned to calm and indifference. He sat upright, looking straight ahead.

Since Soul Cang was the last one, with the announcement of his results completed, rewards were distributed according to the level of excellence.

These items were generally related to improving strength, mainly elixirs and Dou Skills.

Soul Cang completely disdained them and paid no attention.

Soon after, all the clan disciples received their corresponding items.

Soul Fury placed his hands on his knees, his eyes burning with anticipation.

An elder stepped onto the central arena. He first bowed to Soul Emperor and Void Swallowing Flame, then greeted the elders on the other side.

Then, the elder announced loudly: “At today's clan meeting, we have two outstanding disciples who wish to resolve their grievances and disputes. Soul Fury, Soul Cang… please come to the stage!”

Swish!

The wind howled, and a figure rushed onto the arena, standing tall and straight like a pine tree.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen someone so eager to die,” Soul Cang remarked, then rose and stepped through the air, walking step by step onto the arena.

Soul Cliff scoffed, saying to Soul Jade, “Did you hear that just now? Soul Cang doesn’t know where he gets his confidence. A Two-Star Dou Zun actually dares to say such a thing. Doesn’t he know that Soul Fury is already a Six-Star Dou Zun?”

Soul Jade said indifferently, “Is this your first time meeting him? Whether it was daring to challenge the Clan Leader three years ago, or this time at the clan meeting, daring to say he knew about Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave, when has Soul Cang ever acted like a normal person?”

“Hey, Soul Jade, I didn’t expect you to observe so carefully.” Soul Cliff thought for a moment and realized that Soul Jade’s summary was indeed accurate.

One must know, in the Soul Clan, besides Void Swallowing Flame, who dared to disrespect the Clan Leader?

And Soul Cang, on the other hand, had already conversed with the Clan Leader more than once.

If Soul Emperor truly recognized him as his son, then fine, but Soul Emperor genuinely didn't care about him.

“Does that even require observation?” Soul Jade glanced at Soul Cliff, who was nodding in agreement. “Anyone with eyes can see it, right?”

Soul Cliff’s expression froze, a little embarrassed.

…

On the elder's seats.

A middle-aged man let out a loud laugh, drawing the attention of many surrounding elders.

This, of course, included Soul Void Son.

The person who laughed was the one who caused the conflict between Soul Void Son and Soul Fury's ancestors. This person was named Soul Origin Life, and he was the grandfather of Soul Fury, who was currently in the arena.

“Soul Void Son.” Soul Origin Life's gaze met Soul Void Son's stare, revealing a look of mockery. “I know you’ve always harbored resentment towards my lineage, but if you want revenge, you should at least use your brain, right? Finding such a guy, are you trying to disgust yourself?”

As a member of the Soul Clan, even if Soul Fury didn't possess Soul Jade's divine bloodline, his own bloodline was not bad, at least much higher than Soul Cang's.

Furthermore, Soul Fury had always undergone various forms of training, so his strength and combat experience were definitely much stronger than Soul Cang’s.

In Soul Origin Life's opinion, the outcome of this battle was absolutely unquestionable.

“Don’t be happy too soon; be careful not to rejoice too early and then suffer,” Soul Void Son retorted, unwilling to show weakness, then turned his head away, not looking at the mocking Soul Origin Life.

Watching Soul Cang walk onto the arena step by step, his expression calm, as if he was confident about the competition.

Soul Void Son felt a little strange. Where did this boy get his confidence from, showing no signs of panic?

Could he really defeat Soul Fury?

A thought suddenly flashed through Soul Void Son's mind, and he trembled as if electrified, shaking his head repeatedly.

Impossible, Soul Cang was only a Two-Star Dou Zun; how could he be Soul Fury's opponent?

Soul Void Son thought to himself.

He had always harbored a desire for revenge against the Soul Origin Life lineage, but no one in the clan was willing to oppose the Soul Origin Life lineage. This time, he saw the conflict between Soul Cang and Soul Fury.

This made Soul Void Son feel there was an opportunity to try. Even if he didn't win, he could at least annoy the other party, as he wasn't sacrificing anything himself.

Unexpectedly, Soul Cang would be so flamboyant at the assembly, leading many to believe that Soul Void Son was backing him.

Soul Void Son was thus tied together with Soul Cang.

“Soul Cang, if you lose, you’d better die by Soul Fury's hand. Otherwise, I will also make you suffer,” Soul Void Son's eyes narrowed, revealing a cold glint.

…

On the arena.

Soul Cang and Soul Fury stood face to face, ten meters apart.

“Clan competition, competition second, safety first,” the elder instructed for the last time before leaving the arena.
