227: Zhu Kun agreed, and Xiao Xuan came out of seclusion early

Chapter 227: Candle Dragon Agrees, Xiao Xuan Leaves Seclusion Early

The old dragon was very straightforward and confessed first: “Boy, although I don’t know how you found this place, let me tell you upfront, I am currently suppressed here by the Tuo She Ancient Emperor’s Cave, and I can’t offer much help.”

The dragon’s head lifted, glancing at the four characters “Gu Emperor Cave”, revealing a look of intense anger.

Back then, Candle Dragon’s strength was unrivaled on the Dou Qi Continent, and he set his sights on breaking through to Dou Di.

However, at that time, there was no opportunity to break through to Dou Di on the Dou Qi Continent, and the last person to become an Emperor was named Tuoshe.

So Candle Dragon traveled all over the continent and finally found the Gu Emperor Cave. He thought he could find an opportunity to break through to Dou Di, but he didn't expect to be suppressed here by Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s trap.

Soul Cang calmly said: “Elder Candle Dragon, don’t worry, the reason I came to find you is because I naturally know your difficulties.”

A look of pleasant surprise appeared in Candle Dragon’s eyes: “You have the tuoshe ancient emperor jade?”

The Tuo She Ancient Emperor’s Cave has restrictions. Once someone harbors covetous intentions, they might be suppressed. Only by using the tuoshe ancient emperor jade as a key to open the cave can the restrictions be broken.

Soul Cang naturally didn't have it, so he shook his head.

The old dragon grunted, seemingly feeling teased by a junior and a bit displeased, but noticing the expression on Zi Yan’s face beside Soul Cang, he could only suppress his anger.

Soul Cang smiled faintly: “Soon, this cave will be unsealed. When Elder Candle Dragon breaks free, I hope you can help deal with Soul Emperor.”

“Soul Emperor?” The old dragon repeated, glancing at Soul Cang, “You also have the surname Hun. You are from the same clan, why are you targeting him?”

Before Soul Cang could speak, Zi Yan huffed: “Just remember it, why do you have so many questions?”

The old dragon quickly said: “Don’t be angry, daughter.”

Soul Cang smiled: “Elder Candle Dragon, I have no other matters.”

The old dragon nodded slightly: “Alright, I’ve noted it down.”

“We’ll take our leave now, Elder Candle Dragon.” Soul Cang bowed slightly and left with Zi Yan.

Candle Dragon watched Zi Yan’s retreating figure until she disappeared, a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

He really wanted to say a few more words to his daughter, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, but Zi Yan’s reaction meant there was no point in talking much.

Therefore, Candle Dragon did not say anything to keep her. If he could truly break free in the future, he would have plenty of time to make up for what he owed his daughter.

The old dragon frowned slightly. Being sealed here, the passage of time in the outside world had become blurred. The Soul Clan, in his impression, was just a small clan. Had they now developed to the point of being able to contend for the Gu Emperor Cave?

Knowing he couldn't figure out the answer, the old dragon sighed softly and slowly closed his eyes.

The vast space returned to silence, with only the faint glow emanating from the Gu Emperor Cave.

...

Back on the surface, Zi Yan was somewhat silent, and her expression was not particularly focused.

Soul Cang could understand her current state.

After all, having lived alone for so long, suddenly having a father appear would indeed be a bit difficult to accept.

However, Soul Cang couldn't say much about this matter; he could only let time pass and allow Zi Yan to slowly accept it, as it was her family affair.

The two came and went without spending much time, but Canaan Academy’s response was very swift, and they had already begun preparations for relocation.

As soon as Soul Cang appeared, he was found by Elder Su Qian, who said he had something to discuss.

He said to Zi Yan: “You go back to Xiao Yu’s place first.”

Zi Yan shook her head: “I want to go back to the clan for a trip.”

Soul Cang was stunned, then nodded: “Alright, if anything happens, tell me, don’t keep it to yourself.”

After Zi Yan left, Elder Su Qian asked with concern: “What’s wrong with that girl? She suddenly seems like a different person.”

Soul Cang shook his head: “It’s a personal family matter of hers. By the way, Elder Su, what did you want to see me about?”

Elder Su Qian regained his composure and led Soul Cang to the previous meeting room.

On the way, Elder Su Qian briefly explained the situation.

It turned out that after discussions among the elders and the dean, everyone decided to move Canaan Academy to the Gama Empire.

On one hand, the relationship between Canaan Academy and Soul Cang was relatively deep, and Xiao Yan was also a student who came out of Canaan Academy.

On the other hand, according to the old dean, if the continent truly became chaotic in the future, the Gama Empire would at least be a relatively safe place.

Soul Cang naturally fully supported this matter; gaining a group of strong individuals for free was certainly a good thing.

Arriving at the meeting room.

The old dean, Mang Tianchi, looked at Soul Cang as he walked in and smiled: “Elder Su has told you everything?”

Soul Cang responded with a smile: “Old Dean, moving to the Gama Empire is no problem. I am the first to agree.”

The old dean nodded and said: “Because time is quite pressing, my idea is to establish a spatial channel. This way, the transfer speed will be faster, after all, the two are thousands of miles apart, wouldn’t you agree?”

If flying magical beasts were used for transfer, it would certainly be possible, but there were so many people, and also people from the Black-Corner Region, all needing to be transferred, and there weren't enough magical beasts.

Moreover, along the way, magical beasts not only needed rest, but they were also conspicuous targets, making it easy for those with ulterior motives to notice something.

So Mang Tianchi’s idea was to use a spatial channel. Such a channel might be difficult for others to establish, but for himself and the powerful Soul Cang, it would be much simpler.

Soul Cang quickly understood the old dean’s concerns and agreed without hesitation.

Having such a channel would be good. Although establishing it might waste a little time, if a battle broke out afterwards, whether it was to reinforce the Gama Empire or send additional personnel to the Black-Corner Region, it would be much more convenient.

This work is organized and uploaded by ~~

This was a win-win situation!

The two immediately hit it off and started working. Soul Cang sent a message to Xiao Yan, who was far away in the Gama Empire, telling them to also start opening a path to the Black-Corner Region.

...

Ancient Clan.

Mountains towered into the clouds, and at the summit, a figure stood, hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the undulating sea of clouds.

At this moment, the light beside him twisted slightly, and then a figure emerged.

Gu Yuan turned his head, a smile on his face: “Why did you leave seclusion? There’s still time.”

Xiao Xuan stood shoulder to shoulder with Gu Yuan, his gaze fixed forward: “The gap between eight-star and nine-star is a hurdle. Breaking through takes a lot of time and cannot be interrupted at will.”

Gu Yuan laughed: “Peak eight-star is probably not enough. Soul Emperor is not what he used to be. When I fought him last time, the pressure was quite immense.”

Xiao Xuan glanced at Gu Yuan, then continued to gaze at the sea of clouds, smiling faintly: “Times are changing. What if Soul Emperor is strong? We have more people, we can bully him together. When the survival of a clan is at stake, why fight one-on-one when you can gang up?”

Gu Yuan burst into laughter, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes, then suddenly quieted: “Actually, I’ve always had one regret: not being able to fight alongside you back then. This time, I definitely won’t let you down.”

Xiao Xuan sighed. After so many years in Tian Tomb, he had long come to terms with things, and calmly said: “Let’s not talk about the past.”

A moment of silence.

Xiao Xuan asked: “Have the messages all been sent out?”

Gu Yuan nodded, a look of doubt appearing on his face: “Will Soul Emperor come?”

All along, those familiar with the news of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor’s Cave knew one thing: to open the Tuo She Ancient Emperor’s Cave, the tuoshe ancient emperor jade was needed as a key.

Currently, the Soul Clan possessed seven fragments, giving them an absolute advantage. Could they easily give that up?

Xiao Xuan was silent, a past conversation with Soul Cang flashing before his eyes.

At that time, Soul Cang suddenly brought up why Tuoshe Ancient Emperor was the last Dou Di, yet there was no news of his bloodline descendants.

This question had puzzled and been investigated by all eight clans, but no answer was found.

Xiao Xuan also stated that he didn't know.

Then he heard Soul Cang reveal a somewhat astonishing piece of news.

The last Dou Di on the Dou Qi Continent, Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, was not human, but rather a flame that achieved emperorship.

Xiao Xuan felt extremely shocked, but after deep thought, he found it reasonable.

And Soul Cang also said that the path Xiao Yan was currently taking was the path Tuoshe Ancient Emperor had once walked.

In other words, as long as Xiao Yan followed the steps, he too could achieve Dou Di in the future.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan’s lips curled slightly, and he said to Gu Yuan: “Since things have come to this, I believe Soul Cang won’t be wrong after all.”
