355: Chapter 355 Your Void Devouring Flame only comes to souls? What a coincidence, so am I.
"Everything is indeed fine right now."
"But that is only because the problem has not yet erupted."
Gu Han's Soul Clone, which possessed a body made of Yin Yang Twin Flames, flicked his finger, and the Yin Yang Twin Flames transformed into two small, weak flaming dragons that flew out.
These black and white dragons flew into the center of Gu Yang's brow, found a completely dormant, eerie rune deep within his Soul, and erupted with the power of strange fire.
The next moment, as if having received some sort of command, this rune began to stir, releasing countless black flames.
These black flames, carrying special Soul Power and memories, ignited a certain experience deep within Gu Yuan's Dou Di Bloodline, instantly seizing control of Gu Yang's body and brain.
"Void Swallowing Flame!" Gu Yuan immediately sensed the foreign energy within Gu Yang, and his expression turned extremely ugly.
To think that Void Swallowing Flame had secretly tampered with one of his Ancient Clan's Five-Star Dou Sheng, and had even obtained the qualifications to guard the ancestral hall.
If the Hun Clan and the Ancient Clan were to go to war... the consequences would be immense.
"There is something wrong with Gu Yang!"
The three immortals of the ancient clan appeared simultaneously, arrived beside Gu Yang, raised their hands to inject their Soul Power, and their expressions became extremely grave.
Who could have imagined that a Five-Star Dou Sheng could hide right under their noses and even occupy such a critical position?
"It is not the Ancient Clan's fault for failing to discover it," Gu Han spoke with a calm expression. "Void Swallowing Flame possesses both the power of void and devouring; if not for the existence of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, it would undoubtedly be the rightful number one on the strange fire ranking list."
"Hundreds of years ago, he tampered with Gu Yang's Soul, using the power of strange fire to integrate the Soul of a Hun Clan Dou Sheng expert, yet he used the power of the Dou Di Bloodline to conceal it."
"For the past several hundred years, Gu Yang remained Gu Yang. As long as Void Swallowing Flame did not trigger the back mountain, he remained that Five-Star Dou Sheng Elder who would sacrifice his life for the Ancient Clan."
"It is no wonder that no one could discover his problem, because he truly had no problem, nor had he ever done anything for the Hun Clan."
"But once Void Swallowing Flame's methods are activated, Gu Yang becomes the Hun Clan's Gu Yang, capable of playing a critical role at a critical moment."
"Ahhh!"
Gu Yang's eyes were split with rage, and he stared at Gu Han with killing intent. "Brat, you dare to ruin Void Swallowing Flame's grand plan? You deserve to die a thousand deaths."
"Gu Yuan, release me! I will crush this brat!"
"Hehehe, I advise you all to surrender immediately. The strength of my clan is beyond your imagination."
"When Void Swallowing Flame succeeds, you will find it impossible to live, and impossible to die!"
Gu Yang began to clamor; perhaps because his mobility was restricted, he gave up all pretense and started cursing wildly.
"The Hun Clan." The three immortals of the ancient clan wanted to take action to suppress and kill him.
Gu Han narrowed his eyes and said, "Uncle, do not kill him yet. He is deliberately using a provocation tactic to make you take action."
"As long as he dies, Void Swallowing Flame will immediately sense it and become alert."
"On the contrary, keeping him alive can cause Void Swallowing Flame to make a misjudgment."
Hearing these words, Gu Yuan nodded slightly, pointed at the void, and mobilized the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame to form a special prison to trap Gu Yang, then banished him to a special space.
Having done all this with a wave of his hand, his expression became much gentler, and he smiled. "Nephew, you have just arrived at the Ancient Clan for the first time and have already ferreted out a spy for us. This is truly a great gift."
Upon hearing Gu Yuan's words, the three immortals of the ancient clan and other high-ranking members had subtle expressions, and some were even embarrassed.
Not long ago, when Gu Han appeared and threatened the Ancient Clan, some hot-tempered individuals said that such behavior should not be encouraged.
Yet Gu Yuan had said that he would personally come forward to appease Gu Han and grant the Xiao Clan the qualifications.
This made them feel particularly shameful, but Gu Yuan added, "Gu Han's Soul Realm is on par with mine."
They all knew that Gu Yuan's Soul Realm, after being polished for a thousand years, had already entered the Emperor Realm.
Although not as high as the half-emperor level of Xiao Xuan back in the day, he was considered a Peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng.
What he meant by Gu Han's Soul Realm being on par with his was that it was also at the Emperor Realm.
An Emperor Realm Soul can independently take form and fight on its own, with combat power comparable to a Seven-Star Dou Sheng.
In short, Gu Han's Soul alone was equivalent to the three immortals of the ancient clan, and his cultivation base was at least comparable to a Five-Star Dou Sheng.
And such Soul talent meant that Gu Han's future Breakthrough to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng level was merely a matter of time and accumulation.
This junior, who was once commented on by Gu Yuan as having the bearing of Old Ancestor Fenyan, had already become the next Old Ancestor Fenyan sooner or later.
Of course, this was not a reason for Gu Han to threaten the Ancient Clan or for the Ancient Clan to back down; after all, they had Gu Yuan.
But the problem was that Gu Han was Xun'er's sweetheart, and barring any accidents, he would be the Clan Chief's son-in-law.
Since one of their own was so strong, it was only natural to dote on him, provided he didn't go too far.
Unexpectedly, Gu Han had even brought them a "welcome gift."
"It is only right. After all, the Ancient Clan is Xun'er's maiden home, which makes it my future in-laws." With one sentence, Gu Han bridged the relationship with the Ancient Clan.
Gu Yuan, the three immortals of the ancient clan, and even Gu Shan and others all revealed smiles.
As long as you, Gu Han, are one of us, the more outstanding, the better.
As for the slight confrontation, the son-in-law was just following the rules.
"The Ancient Clan approves of giving the Hun Clan's Heavenly Tomb entry qualification to Xuanwu Hall." Gu Yuan's gaze swept over the Hun Clan's Half-Saint.
He would naturally go to find Hun Tiandi to negotiate and demand an explanation regarding the Gu Yang matter.
For now, he would support his future son-in-law.
"Hehehe, if the Ancient Clan supports it, then so be it." The Hun Clan's Half-Saint forced a smile. "The other six clans have yet to express their stance."
"You don't think that my Xiao Clan will support your Hun Clan, do you?" Xiao Yan immediately spoke, his tone mocking.
The Hun Clan's Half-Saint: I am truly terrified. I forgot that the Xiao Clan is the least likely to agree.
"The other five clans..."
"Forget about the other five clans." Gu Han coldly interrupted, his words shocking everyone. "If the Hun Clan would tamper with an Elder of the Ancient Clan who guards the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, then they must have designs on the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade. Naturally, the other Emperor Clans are the same."
Upon hearing this, the expression of the Half-Saint Elders responsible for leading their respective clans changed drastically.
In fact, when they saw Gu Yang being dragged out, they had already guessed it.
But such a matter is not something that Half-Saint experts like them could just go around talking about.
So they thought of asking Gu Han privately, but they didn't expect...
Soon, the expressions on the faces of the five Half-Saint Elders changed.
"Elder, how is it?" The Prodigy of the Lei Clan immediately asked.
"It is fine." The Lei Clan's Half-Saint shook his head and revealed a kind smile to Gu Han. "Our Clan Chief asked me to thank the Hall Master for the reminder, and said that if you have time, you are welcome to visit the Lei Clan."
"That is easy to say." Gu Han nodded in agreement. "I have a good relationship with Jia Nan Academy, and I also have ties with the Lei Clan. It is a small matter."
The Half-Saint from the other clans also successively expressed thanks on behalf of their Clan Chiefs and issued invitations.
This situation made many people somewhat confused.
You just sent a message to your families, and solved the matter in a second!?
Seeming to know what others were thinking, the Medicine Clan's Half-Saint spoke: "When I sent the message to the Clan Chief, I was told that the spy had already been ferreted out and controlled, all thanks to Hall Master Gu Han's advance warning!"
Everyone: ???
