Chapter 175: Soul Jade: I Specifically Came to Find You

After deactivating the Fire Spirit Three Transformations, Soul Cang's strength plummeted, accompanied by a feeling of weakness and tearing pain.

“The burden is truly immense. Thankfully, my body has been continuously tempered by the Fire Spirit; otherwise, a Three-star Dou Sheng would probably be my limit,” Soul Cang mused.

He then looked around and swept towards the distance. His current state was not good, and if he were targeted by a stronger Yan Clan Elder, he might be in danger.

Although the Void Swallowing Flame might be secretly watching him, Soul Cang was not accustomed to entrusting his life to others.

On the other side.

The Soul Young Clan Leader, Soul Wind, was currently locked in battle with someone. The opponent was not weak and was also the Yan Clan's Young Clan Leader.

The two sides had been in a stalemate for some time, but Soul Wind currently had the upper hand, and it wouldn't be long before he could take down his opponent.

However, Soul Wind's attention was somewhat unfocused.

The battle between Soul Origin Life and Soul Cang had just taken place near him, making it difficult not to notice.

To be able to contend with Elder Soul Origin Life using a secret technique, Soul Wind mumbled to himself, finding it somewhat unimaginable.

In the Soul Clan, Elder Soul Origin Life's strength was already in the upper-middle tier.

In contrast, how old was Soul Cang? He was only a Dou Zun before, and now, after advancing to Dou Sheng, coupled with the secret technique, he could achieve such strength.

“You’re worried about Soul Cang, aren’t you?” the Yan Clan Young Clan Leader suddenly spoke.

Soul Wind looked at him and sneered, “What nonsense are you spouting? I am the Young Clan Leader; how could I possibly be afraid of an illegitimate child like him?”

The Yan Clan Young Clan Leader said, “No matter what, Soul Cang also has the blood of your Clan Leader flowing through him, whereas your position as Young Clan Leader was only obtained by relying on your father being an Elder.”

Soul Wind roared, “Shut up! You are not from our Soul Clan at all; what do you understand?!”

Seeing him become agitated, a strange glint flashed in the Yan Clan Young Clan Leader's eyes: “You’re anxious because I hit the mark, aren’t you?”

Soul Wind fell silent.

In fact, what the other party said was not wrong; he was a descendant of the Soul Clan Elder, Soul Yuan Tian.

The Yan Clan Young Clan Leader continued, “With Soul Cang's strength, I believe it won't be long before he surpasses you, and then your position will definitely not be secure.”

Soul Wind looked at him coldly, “No need to worry; before my position is lost, you will already be dead!”

The Yan Clan Young Clan Leader smiled faintly, “Let’s make a deal.”

Soul Wind was momentarily stunned: “Interesting. What do you have that’s worth trading with me?”

The Yan Clan Young Clan Leader said, “I’ll help you kill Soul Cang, and you secretly escort me out of the Yan Clan. Don’t worry, I just want to preserve some of the Yan Clan’s bloodline.”

Soul Wind scoffed, “Even Elder Soul Origin Life couldn’t take him down; how can you?”

First, not to mention Soul Cang's own formidable strength, just the protection of the Void Swallowing Flame was enough to ensure Soul Cang's peace of mind.

The Yan Clan Young Clan Leader said in a deep voice, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way. If you agree, I'll figure out a plan, and quickly! Soul Cang's secret technique has ended; once he recovers, I won't have a chance!”

Soul Wind hesitated for a moment, then said, “Are you really confident?”

The Yan Clan Young Clan Leader nodded, “It’s worth a try.”

After a moment of silence, Soul Wind slowly said, “Tell me your plan. If it succeeds, I can help you preserve a small portion of the Yan Clan’s bloodline.”

The two then slowed down their attack rhythm.

...

Retreating to a rear position, Soul Cang's tense heart relaxed.

The passage to the Yan Realm had been completely sealed. Unless the Void Swallowing Flame's barrier could be broken, no one in the Yan Realm could leave.

However, the strong cultivators of the Yan Clan were all being held back by the Soul Emperor and the various Soul Clan Elders.

Soul Cang had only just stopped when he heard a voice. It was Soul Jade.

“Why are you just standing here? Go break those defensive barriers! Whatever you snatch inside will be yours,” Soul Jade said with a smile in his eyes.

Soul Cang waved his hand, “No.”

Soul Jade frowned, “Don’t you want to improve your strength anymore? All our gains, once we return to the clan, can be exchanged for items. As long as the value is high enough, anything can be exchanged, have you forgotten?”

Soul Cang subconsciously wanted to refuse, because there wasn't much in the Soul Clan that could attract him, except for the Void Swallowing Flame.

However, how could the Soul Emperor possibly hand over the Void Swallowing Flame for him to devour?

The two of them were only in a cooperative relationship.

Just then, Soul Cang's gaze suddenly lifted, looking up at the sky.

If all went as expected, once the Flame Clan Leader was dealt with by the Soul Emperor, the strange flame on his person would ultimately belong to the Soul Clan.

Soul Cang was not so insane as to snatch the strange flame from the Soul Emperor's hands.

Soul Jade noticed Soul Cang's hesitation and spoke again, “Let’s go. I found a good place, but the defenses there are a bit tricky. Considering our past cooperation in the Barren Mountain Range, I specifically came to find you.”

Soul Cang asked, “Where is it located?”

Soul Jade raised a hand and pointed. It was located on the northwest side of the Yan Clan city, quite far from the core battlefield.

It shouldn't be that coincidental… Soul Cang mumbled to himself, then nodded, “Then let’s go. We’ll split the spoils fifty-fifty.”

Soul Jade smiled, “No problem.”

With that, he eagerly swept towards that direction. Soul Cang quickly followed suit.

Along the way, Soul Cang asked what might be inside, and Soul Jade described his conjectures, concluding that it might be cultivation techniques or Dou Skills.

Hearing this, Soul Cang was somewhat moved. Most of the Yan Clan's Dou Skills were related to fire attributes, so if there were suitable ones for him, he could keep a few copies.

Soon, the two arrived at the location. Dozens of Yan Clan disciples rushed out, clad in armor and wielding weapons, looking fierce.

“Get lost!” Soul Jade roared, raising his hand and unleashing a torrent of Dou Qi energy.

He was at the Dou Sheng realm, while those Yan Clan disciples were only at the Dou Zun strength; the two sides were not on the same level.

Seeing this, Soul Cang simply did not make a move.

After a few whimpers, the two landed below. They looked around but did not see any Yan Clan Elders.

Soul Jade led the way in one direction, turned a few corners, and stopped in front of a three-story pavilion.

As they approached, a barrier rose from the ground, shimmering with colorful light, quite extraordinary.

Seeing this, Soul Cang finally relaxed; the other party had not lied.

Looking at Soul Jade, Soul Cang smiled, “You really have a knack for finding places like this.”

Soul Jade said, “It's all experience.”

He first looked around, then said to Soul Cang, “Let's attack together and try to break this barrier as quickly as possible!”

Soul Cang nodded, “Alright!”

Then Soul Jade walked to the opposite side of Soul Cang, which was the back of the pavilion.

Feeling Soul Jade's aura rise, Soul Cang's eyes narrowed. Flames surged from within him, gathering in his hands.

“Now!” Soul Jade's roar suddenly rang out.

The next second, Soul Cang pushed his hands forward, and a surging energy shot out, rushing towards the barrier in front of him.

Just then, behind Soul Cang, the void rippled, and a figure appeared—it was the Yan Clan Young Clan Leader.

Looking at Soul Cang's back, his internal Dou Qi surged, making a roaring sound like a rushing river. Energy gathered and struck towards Soul Cang's back.

At this moment, Soul Cang also noticed the abnormality behind him, and his expression suddenly changed, but all the Dou Qi within him had already been used up, making it impossible to change his move in time.

Soul Cang barely managed to turn half his body to the side, but the Dou Qi energy from behind had already arrived. The other half of his body was struck, and he was sent crashing into the nearby building.

After breaking through more than a dozen walls, Soul Cang's figure finally stopped. Dust billowed around, obscuring his presence.

“It should have succeeded, right?” The Yan Clan Young Clan Leader's forehead was covered in sweat. He looked towards the ruins, then waved his hand, and Dou Qi blew away the dust.

Amidst the various ruins and broken walls, there was no trace of Soul Cang.

However, some bloodstains could be seen along the way.

The Yan Clan Young Clan Leader revealed a relaxed smile: “He was ambushed by my full-power attack and had no defense, so he should be gone.”
