Chapter 216: A Call of Vice Alliance Leader Yao Chen
Being one realm higher, if he couldn't kill Soul Cang, Void Swallowing Flame couldn't imagine if Soul Cang had any hidden moves.
Therefore, after his strength decreased, Void Swallowing Flame's first reaction was to leave, but he still didn't forget his cooperation with Soul Emperor.
Before leaving, Void Swallowing Flame snatched the tuoshe ancient emperor jade from Medicine Pill.
The Soul Clan arrived suddenly and left swiftly.
Everyone present hadn't recovered from Soul Cang's spectacular performance when the Soul Clan members quickly departed.
Soul Void Son walked at the very end, turning his head to look at Soul Cang, his expression complex, even a bit aggrieved.
Judging from Soul Cang's performance today, the Nine-Rank Mysterious Pill he refined had completely changed hands; so many days of hard work and effort had become someone else's wedding dress for nothing.
This was the first time he, Soul Void Son, had encountered such a situation of having his efforts stolen after years of adventuring on the Dou Qi Continent.
As Void Swallowing Flame left, the seal restricting the Medicine World outside also dissipated. Upon discovering the passage was open, some guests left in a hurry without even saying goodbye.
They didn't look back, as if an evil spirit was staring at them from behind.
The Medicine Clan members finally recovered at this moment. Several highly respected Elders rushed towards Medicine Pill; he was the Medicine Clan Leader, the backbone of the Medicine Clan, and nothing could happen to him easily.
In a deep pit on Medicine Mountain, Medicine Pill was pale, his aura weak, his lower body missing, and even his upper body was covered in charred marks.
However, he was a Dou Saint after all, and his vitality was still vigorous enough. After taking the pill handed to him by a clansman, Medicine Pill's expression regained some clarity.
“Today’s events are my fault. If I had moved the clan realm near the Ancient Clan earlier, perhaps such a tragedy wouldn’t have happened,” Medicine Pill reproached himself.
Originally, when the Yan Clan's situation was unclear, they should have been vigilant. But mindful of the rules and prestige of the Medicine Clan established over countless years, the Medicine Clan members, despite the danger, insisted on holding the Medicine Ceremony.
They always thought that with their large numbers and power, the Soul Clan wouldn't act rashly.
Who knew it was all wishful thinking? Soul Emperor didn't even make a move, and with just Void Swallowing Flame leading the team, the Medicine Clan was almost annihilated.
A Medicine Clan Elder said resentfully, “Clan Leader, the Ancient Clan and the Lei Clan are not good things either. They talked about an alliance, yet the Medicine Clan has been out of contact for so long, and they haven't even inquired.”
These words drew agreement from several surrounding Elders, who showed indignant expressions.
According to the agreement, the three clans would contact each other at regular intervals. If they couldn't establish contact, they would send people to investigate the situation.
They had been entangled with the Soul Clan for quite some time, but the other two clans had shown no reaction at all.
“Silence!”
Medicine Pill's face darkened, unangered yet imposing. The Medicine Clan had fallen to this state, and the Heaven Transformation Medicine Formation was completely shattered. In the future, they might have to rely on the Ancient Clan and the Lei Clan to survive.
Even if they truly stood by and watched, they couldn't say anything now; they could only endure it!
After all, compared to the other two clans, the allure of the Medicine Clan was not just the tuoshe ancient emperor jade, but the Medicine Clan itself.
In the distance, a jade slip lay on the dirt, its light flowing and flickering non-stop.
This was a sign of a message.
As Void Swallowing Flame released the restriction on this space, the connection of the jade slip was restored.
Medicine Pill raised his hand and beckoned, and the jade slip flew to him and stopped. He formed a hand seal and lightly tapped the jade slip.
The next second, an urgent voice came from the jade slip, causing the expressions of all the Medicine Clan members present to change dramatically:
“Medicine Clan Leader Medicine Pill, Soul Emperor is leading his clan to attack the Lei Clan, quickly come to reinforce!”
Everyone's faces were pale, and they remained silent.
Not far away.
Soul Cang's ears twitched, and he suddenly understood.
No wonder this attack on the Medicine Clan was led by Void Swallowing Flame, and few strong individuals from the clan were seen; it turned out to be a two-front war.
Why was this happening?
Frowning, Soul Cang fell into deep thought. Even in the original plot, where the Soul Clan was invincible, they weren't this anxious.
However, Soul Cang would never have imagined that the instigator of this plan was himself.
Soul Emperor had used the entire Central Plains as a battlefield, spending nearly a thousand years and countless financial and material resources, to finally set up a grand array capable of destroying the world.
This array was known only to the high-ranking members of the entire Soul Clan.
But under Soul Cang's guidance, with the Dan Tower at its head, the Three Sects and Four Pavilions united to begin destroying each array node.
Although the Soul Clan was powerful, facing the top forces of the entire Central Plains, even their strong individuals would find themselves in a situation where two fists are no match for four hands.
Thus, Soul Emperor pondered for a long time and decided to accelerate his plan.
Instead of waiting for the array nodes to be destroyed one by one, it was better to strike while the iron was hot.
The Medicine Clan members saw a figure emerge, and immediately their aura surged, their expressions wary, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Soul Cang ignored the gazes of others and looked directly at Medicine Pill: “Is there a quick passage to the Lei Clan?”
Medicine Pill hesitated first, thought for two seconds, and then nodded, saying, “Yes.”
Soul Cang was concise: “Lead the way!”
Medicine Pill's current state was clearly insufficient to undertake this role, so he assigned a clan Elder, whose status was not low and strength not weak, an existence among the Medicine Clan's elders.
However, this Elder had witnessed Soul Cang's divine power just now and was somewhat intimidated by Soul Cang.
Before entering the passage, Soul Cang instructed Yao Chen to return to the Gama Empire as soon as possible, telling Xiao Yan and the others to heighten their vigilance and prepare for the upcoming battle.

After Yao Chen nodded, Soul Cang left directly.
Only at this moment did Yao Chen feel as if he had woken from a long dream. He had already tried his best to hold Soul Cang in high regard, but Soul Cang's performance still exceeded Yao Chen's comprehension.
To describe it with the words Xiao Yan often used, it was just two characters.
Cheating!
One must know that it was Void Swallowing Flame, the strongest alien flame on the Dou Qi Continent, apart from the first alien flame for which there was no information.
Unlike the state of the Nether Lotus Demon Flame, Void Swallowing Flame was more powerful and outstanding.
Void Swallowing Flame's devouring ability could even devour heaven and earth, and space itself. Fighting it, unless one could defeat it in one go, one might be consumed by the opponent, then defeated, and even killed.
But what did he see?
Soul Cang, being one realm lower, actually chased Void Swallowing Flame in reverse. Not only was his own Dou Qi not devoured, but he even split a portion of Void Swallowing Flame's power and absorbed it in reverse.
It was truly outrageous!
Thinking of this, four words involuntarily popped into Yao Chen's mind, and a deep smile appeared on his lips. It's good that he's strong, at least the old man's safety is guaranteed, and he doesn't have to worry about being hunted down.
Thinking this, Yao Chen felt a bit annoyed. Why didn't he shamelessly call him Big Brother back then? Maybe Xiao Yan's opportunities could have happened to him.
“Yao Chen.”
A voice interrupted Yao Chen's wandering thoughts.
Yao Chen asked indifferently, “Medicine Clan Leader Medicine Pill, is there something?”
Feeling that unfamiliarity, Medicine Pill sighed inwardly. Who would have thought that a guy who was expelled from the clan would end up with such an opportunity?
He said with a bitter smile, “I want to move the Medicine Clan near the Cang Alliance, is that alright? Vice Alliance Leader Yao Chen.”
Hearing the words “Vice Alliance Leader,” Yao Chen's mouth curved slightly upwards, and he was somewhat curious: “Why?”
The Medicine Clan moving near the Cang Alliance meant they wanted to seek protection, which already meant lowering their status.
And looking at the relationship between the Medicine Clan and Soul Cang, it wasn't good. Just a short while ago, Soul Cang personally killed Wan Huo Elder in the Medicine Clan, and many Medicine Clan members witnessed it.
Medicine Pill explained, “The Cang Alliance Leader saved our Medicine Clan, and we are not ungrateful people. We also want to contribute our part in the upcoming battle.”
Yao Chen did not agree directly, only stating that he would ask first before giving a reply.
After everyone watched Yao Chen leave, a Medicine Clan Elder said indignantly, “Clan Leader, there are clearly the Ancient Clan and the Lei Clan to choose from, why are we moving near the Cang Alliance?”
Another Elder echoed, “Yes, Clan Leader, Soul Cang killed many of our Medicine Clan members. Yes, he did save our Medicine Clan, but one thing is one thing, how can we be his dogs?”
Medicine Pill said indifferently, “Have you ever thought, in terms of mid-to-high-level combat power, are there more in the Ancient Clan and Lei Clan, or in the Cang Alliance?”
“Of course, the Ancient Clan and the Lei Clan,” an Elder immediately replied.
Medicine Pill nodded: “After this battle, the Medicine Clan is like a stray dog. Whether it's the Ancient Clan or the Lei Clan, they will no longer treat us as equals.
Joining them, we will truly become tools for them to cultivate and refine medicine. What's the difference from being annihilated by the Soul Clan?
But the Cang Alliance is different. They lack people, so we don't have to worry about not having opportunities to prove ourselves. Following them, the Medicine Clan at least still has a chance to rise.”
The Elders were silent.
