Chapter 228: Void Swallowing Flame: I Remember Everything!

After obtaining the ancient jade from the Lei and Yao clans, the Soul Emperor led his team back to the Soul Realm, immediately ordering its closure, prohibiting entry and exit.

Subsequently, the Soul Realm was swallowed by the Void Swallowing Flame and its location was shifted.

The Soul Emperor did all this because he was prepared to face a joint counterattack from the Gu, Lei, and Yao clans.

The Soul Clan's attack this time succeeded due to its unexpected nature.

The Lei and Yao clans, having suffered such a great loss, could not possibly not seek revenge.

Furthermore, the Gu Clan, which possessed the last piece of ancient jade, might feel a sense of crisis and decide to strike first.

However, what the Soul Emperor hadn't quite expected was that during this period, everything remained peaceful; the three clans showed no movement, as if they were prepared to quietly endure their loss.

Since they showed no reaction, the Soul Emperor didn't pay much attention to it; he wasn't afraid of an attack from the three clans, he just thought it would be a bit troublesome.

Now that they weren't reacting, the Soul Emperor took the opportunity to let his clansmen adjust their status, with the injured recovering and those on the verge of breakthrough completing it as quickly as possible.

In the main hall of the Soul Clan.

The Soul Emperor sat on his chair, leaning back against the armrest, his gaze filled with a hint of anticipation, fixed on the front.

Seven pieces of ancient jade floated in the air, manipulated by a wisp of black flame, constantly rotating and combining, transforming into various shapes.

After a long while, the seven pieces of ancient jade returned to stillness.

The Soul Emperor straightened his body, leaning slightly forward, and asked, "How is it?"

The black flame transformed into a human figure, and the Void Swallowing Flame flicked his hand, causing a large amount of black flame to gush out and fall to the ground.

After a series of "hissing" sounds, the black flame dissipated, revealing a somewhat uneven ground.

The Void Swallowing Flame slowly said, "The seven pieces of ancient jade can barely piece together a rough map. The location of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave is probably among these few."

There were a total of five patterns.

Each one was slightly incomplete.

However, the Soul Emperor's face was beaming with a smile; he knew that the imperfections were because the last piece was still missing.

But now that there was a general outline, the difficulty was greatly reduced compared to searching aimlessly.

"Someone!" the Soul Emperor called out towards outside the main hall.

The next second, several figures rushed in.

The Soul Emperor instructed them to memorize these patterns and then to search for similar regional locations.

The several people's gazes fell to the ground, concentrating intently, preparing to engrave the patterns into their memories.

Just then, a figure rushed into the main hall in a hurry.

The Soul Emperor looked up, his expression serious.

The person knelt on the ground, speaking urgently, "Clan Leader, the latest news! The Gu Clan is preparing to take the ancient jade to the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave!"

The Soul Emperor was stunned.

Beside him, the Void Swallowing Flame showed a look of astonishment.

Both of them thought of one person at the same time.

Soul Cang!

Boom!

The Soul Emperor slammed his palm down, crushing the armrest into powder: "Traitor!"

The several people present knelt on the ground, trembling.

The angry Soul Emperor paid no attention to how much pressure his unleashed aura was putting on them.

The Void Swallowing Flame chuckled, "Why are you panicking? What if they know where the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave is? All seven pieces of ancient jade are in your hands. Do they really think they can open the cave's door with just one piece of ancient jade?"

After being reminded, the Soul Emperor immediately regained his composure, his aura retracting, and a cold smile playing on his lips.

He almost forgot such important information! Let them go; as long as he followed their tracks, he could save himself the time and effort of searching for the cave.

The Soul Emperor looked at the Void Swallowing Flame, who happened to be looking back, and the two exchanged glances, both laughing.

Just then, the person who had reported the news earlier continued, "Clan Leader, there's one more thing."

The Soul Emperor was in a good mood and laughed, "Speak."

The person looked up, glanced at the Void Swallowing Flame, and said, "It is rumored that Xiao Yan's current cultivation method is related to the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, and some even say that the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor was not human, but a cluster of flames that became an emperor. His path to emperorship focused on devouring flames. Therefore, the Gu Clan decided to take the ancient jade to the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave."

The Void Swallowing Flame's smile faltered slightly: "Are you saying they have other ways to open the cave?"

The Soul Emperor also restrained his smile, not speaking, but his gaze was fixed on the person.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on the person's forehead, and he said, "These are all external rumors, and your subordinate is not clear."

As he said this, he stammered, "However, however..."

The Soul Emperor's expression was filled with impatience, and he pressed, "However what? Hurry up and speak!"

The person said, "Young Master Soul Cang once said that he hoped to deliver a message to Elder Void."

To me?

The Void Swallowing Flame's expression tightened: "What message?"

The person replied, "Soul Cang said he wanted to ask Elder Void if he still remembered the emperor pill prototype inside the cave, and the promise you made when the emperor pill helped you and the Nether Lotus Demon Flame escape from the cave."

Boom!

As soon as the words fell, a muffled thunder seemed to suddenly explode in the Void Swallowing Flame's mind, his figure abruptly dispersed, transforming into countless black flames, clustered together, constantly rolling.

Seeing this scene, the Soul Emperor's expression was dark and uncertain. He raised his hand and waved, placing a spatial barrier around the area.

Only in this way could the power emanating from the out-of-control Void Swallowing Flame not affect the surrounding environment.

Otherwise, with the power of the Void Swallowing Flame, the main hall and even the surrounding space would be completely incinerated.

The Soul Emperor waved his hand, signaling everyone to quickly leave.

In the main hall, with only him remaining, the Soul Emperor's gaze was fixed on the Void Swallowing Flame, the words he had just heard echoing in his mind.

What information did this contain? How could a single sentence make the Void Swallowing Flame lose control directly?

The Soul Emperor's face was grim as he waited silently.

Because to get the answer, he would only know after the Void Swallowing Flame recovered.

At this moment, a large number of footsteps came from outside, and a group of elders, led by Soul Yuan Tian, rushed into the main hall.

Soul Yuan Tian's gaze fell on the figure on the steps, and he saluted, "Clan Leader, the Gu Clan has already set off with people. What are our plans now?"

The Soul Emperor asked, "Where did they go?"

Soul Yuan Tian replied, "The Black-Corner Region. Not long ago, Canaan Academy began to relocate, and now all have withdrawn. The Lei and Yao clans are also heading to the Black-Corner Region."

The Soul Clan had been planning for thousands of years, and now with the seven pieces of ancient jade in hand, success was within reach.

No one wanted a plan that had cost so many generations of lives and efforts to suddenly fail at this critical juncture of apparent success.

The Soul Emperor thought for a moment and asked, "Without any concealment?"

Soul Yuan Tian nodded.

To be honest, even the news he had gathered himself felt somewhat astonishing.

Currently, throughout the Dou Qi Continent, news about the imminent emergence of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave had begun to spread.

In addition to the forces from the Gu, Lei, and Yao clans, powers led by the Dan Tower were also leading people to the Northwest Region, to the place where the Black-Corner Region existed.

Such a grand display, if it were false, would certainly arouse public anger.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Soul Yuan Tian immediately came with a group of elders to seek the Clan Leader's opinion.

The Soul Emperor glanced at the Void Swallowing Flame, who was still in his black flame state, and said, "No hurry, wait!"

Wait?

Still waiting?

The elders were somewhat puzzled, and their faces showed impatience.

If others really managed to open the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave and take away the opportunity to become an emperor inside, all the Soul Clan's hard work over the years would be in vain.

However, due to the Soul Emperor's authority within the Soul Clan, no one spoke at the moment.

The Soul Emperor explained, "The seven pieces of ancient jade are with us, so the initiative is ours! The news about opening the Gu Emperor Cave might just be a rumor, designed to make us panic and fall into their trap!"

Everyone was silent.

Because there was some truth to these words, but it was a bit too much of a gamble.

However, there was very little information about the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor in the world, so they had no way to verify how much truth there was in those statements.

The many elders turned and left the main hall.

At this moment, a somewhat calm voice sounded: "What Soul Cang said is true! I remember everything!"
