Chapter 558: Conclusion

After Xiao Ming, Gu Yuan, and others entered the Hun Realm. Zi Yan led the Three Clans' allied forces to attack the remnants of the Hall of Souls in the Central Plains.

With so many Dou Saints from the allied forces, the Hall of Souls, already weakened by Hun Tiandi's actions, found it nearly impossible to mount any effective defense.

Moreover, the experts from the Three Clans, having just experienced a major battle, harbored an immense hatred for the Hall of Souls. Hence, their attacks were particularly brutal and merciless.

Often, the members of the Hall of Souls would be wiped out with a single slap from these experts.

In these circumstances, the siege of the Hall of Souls concluded at an astonishingly fast pace.

At the Burial Sky Mountain Range.

The united forces regrouped after their triumphant siege.

An air of tension hung over them as countless eyes anxiously remained fixed on the empty space where Xiao Ming, Gu Yuan, and the others had entered the Hun Realm.

Gu Xun'er was among the people staring at the spot in the empty space. Suddenly, she asked the heroic-looking woman standing beside her in a hushed tone. Her soft, melodious voice was tinged with concern, "Big Sister, do you think Father, Xiao Ming, and the others will be alright?"

Her icy demeanor remained unchanged when it came to others. However, it was a different story with the woman in front of her who was her savior. This big sister, who was already an emperor within her race, was someone she now deeply admired.

She often thought back to that day when Xiao Ming had saved her and the others from the illusion of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree. It had left an indelible mark on her heart. However, she had remained largely aloof from the world at that time, her thoughts clouded by the pressing matters of her clan. She never expected that in her hour of need, it would be one of Xiao Ming's wives who would save her one more time.

Because of these factors, Gu Xun'er couldn't help but voice the concerns that were weighing on her heart at this crucial moment of life and death, when the failure of the invasion would mean the end for all of them.

"They'll be fine, I'm sure Xiao Ming and your father will be back soon." Zi Yan's tall figure was clad in her shining golden armor. She turned to look at Gu Xun'er who was standing next to her and smiled reassuringly.

Zi Yan had always been indifferent to the life and death of those who were not related to her. So was her earlier decision to move and save Gu Xun'er due to a change of heart?

That was certainly not the case.

In reality, she believed that merely weakening the strength of the Ancient Clans would be a waste of this unique opportunity. Why not use this opportunity to make them deeply indebted and grateful as well?

Therefore, she and the other Ancient Void Dragons made a move to save a fraction of the Three Clans' forces instead of just saving the small group of the Heavenly Court during the Death World Formation. Xiao Ming's decision to save not only Gu Yuan and Gu Lie, but also the Clan Heads of the Lei and Yan Clans might have been influenced by this as well.

As for saving Gu Xun'er, there were several reasons.

Not to mention the fact that she was the daughter of Gu Yuan. With her strength, there was no doubt that she would become the next head of the Gu Clan in a few years.

Xiao Ming and Zi Yan had come to the same conclusion. Safeguarding Gu Xun'er seemed like a wise investment. Xiao Ming had a certain understanding of her personality from his knowledge of the story. Even though she projected a cold demeanor on the outside, her inner nature was kind-hearted.

Unlike the younger generation of the Lei and Yan Clans who had been sent to hide in the Central Plains to preserve their bloodline, the younger generation of the Gu Clan, including Gu Xun'er herself, had chosen to remain in their clan and actively participate in the great war.

Following today's events, it was highly unlikely that the Gu Clan would oppose the Heavenly Court in the future.

All of a sudden, space began to ripple, forming a pitch-black spatial channel.

"Look! Someone is emerging!"

"Check if it's our clan leaders and the rest!"

The once silent crowd erupted into a cacophony of discussions, resembling a pot of boiling water.

Apart from Gu Xun'er, the other current leaders of the Ancient Clans, Fairy Hui Ling of the Yan Clan, and the Grand Elder of the Lei Clan, were also extremely excited, yet at the same time, they felt a hint of worry in their hearts.

After all, it was not an easy task to invade the Hun Realm, and casualties were to be expected.

Xiao Ming, Gu Yuan, Yan Jin, and Lei Yin were the pillars of their respective factions. The loss of any of them, even with their forces still relatively intact, would be a heavy blow.

Moreover, every faction, except the Heavenly Court, had suffered severe losses.

Thus, it was natural for them to be worried.

The initiator of the spatial channel soon appeared in everyone's view, but quickly, some noticed something amiss.

"It doesn't seem to be them; there's only one person..."

"Huh? Isn't that the Elder from the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe of the Heavenly Court?"

"It's him! He's an Eight-Star Dou Saint. I remember he entered the Hun Realm with the clan heads. Why is he the only one returning?"

"Could it be that our clan head and the others have failed?!!"

"That's impossible! Absolutely impossible!!"

Gu Xun'er and the other leaders' expressions turned somewhat ugly as they hurried forward.

"Senior! On behalf of the Gu Clan, Xun'er wants to inquire about the situation within the Hun Realm."

Gu Xun'er respectfully bowed her head and immediately voiced the most pressing questions for everyone.

Zhu Zhen initially shook his head in response, stunning everyone present. Then, his subsequent words sent their hearts pounding even harder.

"Hun Tiandi has performed a blood ritual, sacrificing the Bloodline Strength of the Shi, Ling, and Yao Clans, and even the Hun Clan itself. According to His Majesty's words, Hun Tiandi's strength has already reached the Half-Dou God stage!"

"What! Hun Tiandi is such a ruthless and insane person! What is the situation with my father?"

Gu Xun'er's pretty face filled with horror, her voice quivering.

"Before I came out, I saw Clan Head Gu, in a fit of rage, fighting Hun Tiandi with everything he had after the latter caused Gu Lie to explode into a blood mist. However, the situation seemed grim..."

Zhu Zhen spoke straightforwardly. He did not hide any details.

However, such frankness almost made Gu Xun'er lose her flying stance.

Fairy Huo Ling felt an ominous premonition in her heart upon hearing Zhu Zhen's words. Yet, she clung to a glimmer of hope as she asked.

"Then what about our Clan Head Yan Jin?"

Zhu Zhen shook his head, and the hope of Fairy Huo Ling was shattered.

"He and Lei Ying, the Clan Head of the Lei Clan, were killed even before Gu Lie."

"What!"

Even though she had mentally prepared herself, Fairy Huo Ling's delicate face twitched uncontrollably in shock. The Lei Clan Grand Elder's forehead bulged with veins. Just as he was about to inquire further, Zi Yan stepped forward with long strides.

"What about Xiao Ming?"

This question voiced the thoughts of everyone present.

"When I left, His Majesty was still fine. He asked me to escape when Hun Tiandi's current strength was revealed. Right now, he should be locked in battle with Hun Tiandi."

"Then why didn't you stay and help Xiao Ming? Just because he asked you to run, you ran! Where is your pride as an ancient dragon?" Zi Yan's eyebrows knitted together as she spoke. Her hands rested on her hips.

Zhu Zhen's wrinkled face trembled.

"Cough, cough, Your Majesty thinks too highly of this old man. Hasn't Your Majesty heard that Hun Tiandi is a Half-Dou God? I wanted to join the fight, but I'm afraid this old body of mine might not be able to withstand even a few exchanges."

"His Majesty Xiao Ming knows that our Ancient Void Dragon Clan is highly talented in spatial manipulation. He asked me to come out first to inform everyone."

Zi Yan let out a snort and did not say a word in response. In truth, she only made a few remarks to justify Elder Zhu Zhen's withdrawal from the battlefield. She had full confidence in Xiao Ming's decisions and could tell that he was unharmed by her dragon seal on him.

Fairy Huo Ling and the Grand Elder of the Lei Clan didn't display much hope on their faces upon hearing these words.

Thanks to Xiao Ming's concealment, in their eyes, even though his strength was that of a Nine-Star Dou Saint, he definitely couldn't compare to Gu Yuan.

If even Gu Yuan was in a dire situation against Hun Tiandi, would an extra Xiao Ming be enough to turn the tide? A Half-Dou God powerhouse was enough to dominate the entire Dou Qi Continent!

If Hun Tiandi emerged victorious, they would definitely have no place to bury themselves!

Their fate seemed to be sealed!

Everyone except the Heavenly Court was pessimistic about the situation.

A sense of despair quickly spread through the Three Clans allied forces.

After an indeterminate amount of time had passed, another pitch-black spatial channel suddenly appeared, shattering the prevailing silence...
