155: Battle for quota

Chapter 155: Competition for Spots

“To the Tian Tomb!”

The Gu Clan members scanned their surroundings, and numerous unicorns flew out.

Then, everyone mounted a unicorn and flew towards the depths of the mountain range.

Before long, the unicorns stopped at a mountain peak.

Besides the Gu Clan and Soul Clan, members of the Yan Clan, Medicine Clan, Lei Clan, and others had already arrived.

At this moment, Xiao Yan heard a sneer. Following the sound, he saw it came from the ugly-faced Soul Fury.

What's he laughing at? Xiao Yan wondered.

Soul Fury turned to Soul Cliff and asked, “Do you still remember the rules of the Tian Tomb?”

Soul Cliff replied, “You mean the number of people, right? It seems only sixteen can enter each time.”

Soul Fury nodded, “There are so many people from the Gu Clan this time. It seems they are here to protect the Divine Grade bloodline. Look at them, there are seven of them!”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan counted. Including Xun'er, there were eight people from the Gu Clan!

And at the scene, only the Ling Clan, Shi Clan, and Xiao Clan had vacant spots!

Xiao Yan's heart sank: “Big Brother, it seems there's no place for us.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xun'er waving to him.

He was slightly stunned.

Soul Cang said, “Go and hear what she wants to tell you.”

Xiao Yan flew over.

Xun'er smiled and said, “Brother Xiao Yan, in the past, when no one from your Xiao Clan came, our Gu Clan occupied the spots. Since you're here this time, we'll return one to you.”

Xiao Yan was surprised. He looked back at Soul Cang and asked, “What about my Big Brother?”

Xun'er said, “Brother Xiao Yan, there are some things I can't tell you directly, but trust me, you'll understand once you come out of the Tian Tomb!”

Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment and then asked, “Are you referring to my ancestor, Xiao Xuan?”

Xun'er was stunned: “How did you know?”

Xiao Yan replied, “My Big Brother told me.”

He paused, then took a deep breath: “Including the matters between the Xiao Clan and the Soul Clan!”

“Then why are you still… Brother Xiao Yan, did Soul Cang threaten you?” Xun'er was confused.

Xiao Yan shook his head and said, “Xun'er, please don't speak ill of my Big Brother anymore, okay?”

At this moment, Soul Cang walked over.

“Sister Xun'er, isn't it a bit excessive for your Gu Clan to occupy so many spots?” Soul Cang smiled slightly.

“Impudent! The Tian Tomb is in my Ancient World. Granting your clan two spots is already a great favor!” Before Xun'er could speak, a Gu Clan member angrily retorted.

Xun'er turned her head: “Guluo, be quiet!”

The members of the other clans were all around. What would they think if they heard that?

Occupying the spots of clans that didn't come was acceptable, as it was easy to find an excuse.

After all, the Tian Tomb was open, and they didn't come, so it was fine for the Gu Clan to temporarily fill in.

Xun'er looked at Soul Cang and smiled, “This matter was discussed by the clan elders, Soul Cang.”

“You're not even calling me ‘Brother’ anymore?” Soul Cang raised an eyebrow.

Xun'er remained silent.

This was the Gu Clan, and many people were watching. She was also the clan leader's daughter, so being too intimate with a Soul Clan member would cause trouble for her father.

Seeing this, Soul Cang said indifferently, “Since Xiao Yan is here this time, shouldn't your Gu Clan give up the two spots for the Xiao Clan?”

Xun'er said, “Brother Xiao Yan can naturally enter the Tian Tomb, but you…”

“Is there a problem with me? I'm his Big Brother!” Soul Cang interrupted Xun'er.

Xun'er was stunned. That seemed to be true.

After a moment of hesitation, Xun'er said, “But the elders have already made arrangements. It's too late to tell them now.”

As she spoke, energy began to gather in the area.

Xiao Yan looked at Xun'er and said, “Sister Xun'er, you should be able to arrange something, right?”

Xun'er thought for a moment and said, “You can have your Soul Clan withdraw one.”

“No! They must all go in!” Soul Cang refused.

Since he was going to kill, he would do it completely this time! He would kill both Soul Cliff and Soul Fury!

Behind Xun'er, the Gu Clan members all looked displeased.

At this moment, Soul Cang suddenly smiled: “It's not that hard to decide. If someone gets injured, they just can't go.”

Hearing this, Xun'er's expression changed drastically.

However, Soul Cang's speed was even faster than her reaction. His eyes narrowed, locking onto the person who had spoken earlier.

Boom!

Soul power erupted. That person rolled his eyes and collapsed directly.

“Bastard!”

“Damn it, you dare to attack Guluo in the Gu Clan!”

This scene took everyone by surprise.

Including some of the elders nearby.

Just then, with a roar, the sky cracked open with a thousand-zhang-long fissure. Countless silver lights appeared, forming a spatial gate.

Soul Cang's figure flickered, and he directly disappeared into it.

The others also recovered and set off one after another.

Xun'er called Xiao Yan and rushed inside.

Since things had come to this, there was nothing else to do!

Soul Fury's mouth was slightly agape. He looked at Soul Cliff and asked, “Did you see that just now?”

Soul Cliff nodded: “Soul Cang is a lunatic!”

Soul Fury showed an expression of agreement.

If it were outside, he would dare to attack a Gu Clan member, but this was the Ancient World!

“Let's go too,” Soul Cliff said.

Soul Fury nodded.

As they approached the spatial gate, Soul Cliff suddenly said, “After we go in, be careful of Soul Cang!”

Soul Fury said resentfully, “With the two of us working together, are you still afraid of him?”

...

Inside the Tian Tomb, there were energy storms and spirit creatures formed by energy accumulation that would hide and launch attacks.

After Soul Cang entered, he released all the Fire Spirits.

The energy here was very rich, which could allow the Fire Spirits to increase their own strength.

Because the Fire Spirits themselves were not weak and were made of flames, wherever they passed, the air burned and space twisted.

Some weaker energy life forms would be directly scattered by the Fire Spirits, turning into energy cores, and then swallowed.

Soul Cang went straight to the third layer.

...

Three months later.

In front of a barrier, Soul Cang stopped.

Although it was his first time here, Soul Cang knew that this barrier was constructed by something called Ancient Devouring Worms and was extremely hard.

To reach the third layer, one had to break through this barrier!

“Let's try!” With a thought from Soul Cang, the Fire Spirits crawled onto the barrier. The high temperature of their flames quickly melted a passage.

After waiting for a while, Soul Cang then walked into it.

Because Ancient Devouring Worms were good at devouring energy, the substances secreted after digestion would form a barrier.

If he rushed in alone without understanding the situation, he could very likely be trapped and die inside.

After spending some time, Soul Cang successfully entered the third layer.

Looking back at the path he came from, it had already been resealed.

“No rush to collect those things. Let's wait for people to arrive first.” Soul Cang thought for a moment and had a plan.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon, there was movement from within the barrier again.

Soul Cang's figure flickered, and he hid in the distance.

Almost immediately after he left, several figures rushed out from within.

They were Xiao Yan, Xun'er, Fire Zhi, Medicine Starreach, and others. Soul Cliff and Soul Fury were also there.

The aura emanating from them had greatly improved compared to before entering the Tian Tomb.

Xiao Yan and Xun'er were the first to leave, flying towards the depths of the Tian Tomb.

Afterward, the Yan Clan and Medicine Clan members also separated one after another.

“First, go get the Heavenly Flame.” Soul Cang's figure flickered, and he caught up with the Medicine Clan members.

Although Soul Cliff and Soul Fury had improved in strength, and Soul Cang was confident he could handle both of them, he couldn't kill them with a single blow.

He was worried that one of them might escape, so he decided to wait.

Given the Soul Clan's habits and the personalities of the two, they would definitely attack Xun'er.

At that time, if Xiao Yan and Xun'er teamed up to hold one of them, he would have an opportunity.

Soon, Soul Cang chased for a while. Seeing that the distance was sufficient, he flashed out.

“Soul Cang? How are you on the third layer?” Medicine Starreach was stunned.

He had just passed through the barrier and hadn't seen Soul Cang.

Thinking of this, Medicine Starreach's heart sank. Soul Cang being able to come alone meant his strength was even more terrifying than theirs.

“Lend me your fire!” Soul Cang said indifferently.

Medicine Starreach said coldly, “Dream on!”

Flames surged from him, but with a flick of Soul Cang's finger, the flames rolled back, transforming into a streak of fire that flew out.

Seeing this, Medicine Starreach was bewildered. Before he could even think, his consciousness plunged into darkness.

He was going to die!

Medicine Starreach decisively self-destructed.

He would rather die than not create a commotion to let others know what was happening here.

Soul Cang frowned and quickly left the scene.
