Chapter 378 The Eight Ancient Races Descend Upon Canaan Academy!

At this moment, a cold killing intent flashed in the eyes of the Soul Emperor.

The Void Devouring Flame was merely a partner; it was understandable that the other party had outsourced the task of annihilating the Xiao Clan back then.

But Hun Miesheng, as a member of the Soul Clan, actually handed this matter over to someone else, and that person was only a Dou Zun!

This clearly shows they don't respect my orders!

"Okay, very good..."

The Soul Emperor suddenly sneered.

At the same time, a vast and terrifying pressure descended, like a towering mountain, directly pressing down on Hun Miesheng and Elder Mu Gu!

"—Thump!"

"—Thump!"

Soul Extinction and Elder Mu Gu were completely powerless to resist; their knees buckled and they collapsed to the ground.

"Chieftain, please calm your anger."

Hun Miesheng was terrified and hurriedly explained, "I was indeed in seclusion breaking through my cultivation level back then and simply couldn't spare the time. Besides, the Xiao Clan had already been besieged repeatedly and was no longer a threat. The entire clan didn't even have a single Dou Wang. Mu Gu, as an elder of my Soul Hall, possesses the cultivation of a three-star Dou Zun at its peak. It would be more than enough for him to deal with those remnants of the Xiao Clan, and there would be absolutely no chance of anything going wrong!"

"Absolutely foolproof?"

The Soul Emperor laughed in fury: "If he were truly capable, then why are there still remnants of the Xiao family remaining in the world? They've even become Yao Chen's disciples, possibly having touched upon the legacy of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe?"

Upon hearing this, Hun Miesheng was instantly drenched in cold sweat, his face turning deathly pale.

Yes, how come he didn't think of that?

Hun Miesheng abruptly turned his head, staring intently at the trembling old man Mu Gu kneeling to the side, and demanded sharply, "Mu Gu, what exactly happened? You promised me back then that you would completely wipe out the Xiao clan, leaving not a single one alive!"

Old Man Mu Gu was already terrified out of his wits by the Soul Emperor's tangible killing intent.

Faced with the piercing gazes of these two supreme beings of the Soul Clan, he could only stammeringly confess the truth:

"Your Highness... Your Highness, Clan Chief, please understand. Back then... Back then, when you entrusted this task to me, I... I was fully focused on plotting to obtain the 'Burning Technique' from Yao Chen and was unable to spare the time... So I entrusted this matter to Protector Wu, who was stationed at the branch of the Jia Ma Empire... I believed that with Protector Wu's strength, dealing with those members of the Xiao family would be a piece of cake..."

"Duck Protector?"

A cold glint flashed in the Soul Emperor's eyes: "Who is he? What is his cultivation level?"

"He...he is..."

Old Man Mugu realized he had said the wrong thing and immediately began to stammer.

"explain!"

The Soul Emperor let out a cold shout, and the oppressive aura emanating from him intensified threefold.

Elder Mu Gu trembled with fright and hurriedly said in a trembling voice, "He is a Earth-level Protector of the Soul Palace, and his cultivation is... a Four-Star Dou Zong..."

"What? A four-star Dou Zong?"

The Soul Emperor's eyes widened.

He never imagined that the order he personally issued back then would be outsourced layer by layer from Void Devouring Flame to Soul Extinction, then to Mu Gu, and finally to a mere Dou Zong Protector.

This is the greatest contempt and mockery of him, the patriarch of the Soul Clan!

"You dare to treat the orders I personally issued back then as a joke?"

Unable to suppress his killing intent any longer, the Soul Emperor suddenly waved his sleeve, and a vast and incomparably powerful black battle aura, like an angry dragon emerging from the sea, instantly struck Elder Mu Gu.

"No...please spare me, my lord!!"

Old Man Mu Gu only had time to let out a short, desperate wail before his body shattered like fragile porcelain in the destructive battle aura, and then with a "bang," he exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

His soul tried to escape from the blood mist, but it was swept away by the aftershocks of the Soul Emperor's battle aura and instantly dissipated into the world.

A Soul Hall Elder, who was considered a powerful figure even in the Dou Qi Continent, was annihilated, both in body and soul!

Hun Miesheng knelt on the ground, looking at the blood mist that had not yet completely dissipated beside him. He was so frightened that his whole body stiffened and he didn't even dare to breathe.

Almost immediately, the Soul Emperor's icy gaze fell upon him again: "Soul Extinction, the Xiao Clan's resurgence—you bear the blame. If the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe is lost this time, I will hold you solely responsible!"

"Yes! Yes! I understand! I will certainly atone for my sins and perform meritorious service, and I will never let the clan leader down!"

Hun Miesheng kowtowed to the ground, his voice trembling as he repeatedly made promises, daring not to utter the slightest complaint.

The Soul Emperor stopped looking at him and said indifferently to the Void Devouring Flame beside him, "Let's go."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two figures disappeared into the secret room like ghosts, leaving only Hun Miesheng kneeling on the cold ground, only daring to raise his head after a long time.

……

That night, deep within the Soul Clan's territory.

The Soul Emperor stood in mid-air, his hands forming a series of complex and profound hand seals.

next moment.

A terrifying surge of battle aura erupted from his body, instantly tearing apart the spatial barrier of the Soul Clan's small world and creating an enormous spatial passage in front of him.

The other end of the passage faintly carried the wild and untamed atmosphere unique to the Northwest Continent.

That is the Black Corner Region where Canaan Academy is located!

"Set off!"

With a command from the Soul Emperor, the Soul Clan experts who had already gathered behind him rushed into the spatial passage like locusts, heading towards Canaan Academy!

……

at the same time.

Deep within the ancient realm.

On the summit of a mountain shrouded in mist.

Gu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of space, landing on the violently fluctuating spatial power in the direction of the Soul Clan.

"The Soul Clan has mobilized in full force, heading towards... the Northwest Continent? Soul Emperor, what are you up to?"

Gu Yuan frowned and muttered to himself, his mind racing with thoughts.

Could it be that the direction that would attract such a large-scale mobilization from the Soul Emperor meant that the other party had found the cave of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe?

Recalling that Soul Emperor and Void Devouring Flame had already left the Soul Clan's territory once before, Gu Yuan immediately guessed what was going on.

"No matter what, we absolutely cannot let the Soul Clan easily obtain the inheritance. Elder Tongxuan, immediately gather the clansmen, open the spatial passage, and head towards the Northwest Continent..."

Gu Yuan gave the instructions with a solemn expression.

"Yes, Chieftain!"

A ripple appeared in the space behind them, and the figure of an old man with white hair suddenly appeared. He bowed, accepted the order, and quickly left.

……

That night, not only the ancient clans, but also the ancient clans such as the Flame Clan, Thunder Clan, and Medicine Clan were alarmed by the Soul Clan's undisguised actions at almost the same time, and all made corresponding countermeasures.

Their solution was quite simple.

That is to follow closely behind the void passage constructed by the Soul Clan.

Whatever the Soul Palace is planning to do this time, it's definitely the right thing to do to follow them and see what's going on.

As for the consequences, they hadn't thought about them at all.

Because the situation was urgent and they had no time to think things through, they had to act quickly.
