293: Genocide crisis!
At this moment, everyone in the Ling Clan realized that Hun Xuzi had held back earlier.
Several Ling Clan Dou Sheng Elders began to discuss among themselves.
However, even so, the cultivation of Ling Yuan, the Ling Clan Chief, was still above Hun Xuzi.
On the mountaintop, Ling Lu and Ling Qingshan watched the tense standoff in the sky with grave expressions.
The originally peaceful and tranquil Spirit Realm was now shrouded in a haze, with strong winds howling and dark clouds rolling, as if foreshadowing some impending disaster.
"Qingshan, the situation seems very bad."
Ling Lu's slender hands tightly clutched Ling Qingshan's sleeve, a hint of unease flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"Don't worry, with the Clan Chief here, there shouldn't be much of a problem."
Ling Qingshan gently patted his wife's hand to comfort her.
But at this moment, Ling Qingshan's eyes also showed deep worry.
That's right!
Since Hun Xuzi could come, it was definitely not that simple.
It seemed that the Clan Chief was indeed in charge at the moment, but he always felt that Hun Xuzi was a bit strange.
Their cultivations were actually very close, but the Clan Chief's cultivation just happened to be a head above Hun Xuzi.
If it was just Hun Xuzi alone, then it should be manageable.
But, what if more than just Hun Xuzi came here?
Thinking of this, Ling Qingshan vaguely clenched his fists.
In the sky, Ling Yuan, the Ling Clan Chief, stood in mid-air, her white robes fluttering in the strong wind.
Ling Yuan's wise eyes were fixed on Hun Xuzi opposite her.
"Hun Xuzi, you come to my Spirit Realm to run wild, what exactly do you intend to do?"
"Do you think my Ling Clan is afraid of you, Hun Xuzi?!"
Ling Yuan's voice was as sharp as ice.
Although Hun Xuzi displayed the strength of a Seven-Star Dou Sheng Early Stage, Ling Yuan did not show too much panic.
After all, as a Clan Chief, Ling Yuan was able to keep her composure.
At such a critical moment, she absolutely could not lose her footing.
Once she lost her composure, the entire Ling Clan would collapse in an instant.
What she needed to do now was naturally to remain steady.
As Ling Yuan's questioning just ended, the entire Spirit Realm instantly fell silent.
Countless clansmen looked up at the sky, watching Hun Xuzi and Ling Yuan.
That's right!
Hun Xuzi's visit to the Ling Clan must have a purpose.
"Hehe, I came to the Spirit Realm with no ill intentions!"
"I just... want to borrow that Ling Clan ancient jade for a while!"
Hun Xuzi looked around, a sinister smile playing on his lips, and slowly spoke.
The next moment, Hun Xuzi floated in mid-air, his black robe moving without wind, a chilling and eerie Aura permeating his body, making people's hearts palpitate.
This simple sentence was like a bombshell, instantly exploding in the Spirit Realm.
Everyone's expressions changed at this moment.
Hehe!
No ill intentions?
What kind of nonsense is that!
Who on the entire continent doesn't know what the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is?
That is the key to the Ancient Emperor Cave!
It is said that it contains treasures that can advance one to Dou Di.
Back then, the ancient jade was snatched by the entire continent, and eventually, the ancient jade was divided into eight pieces, with each of the Ancient Eight Clans taking one for safekeeping.
Now it is even a treasure of the Ancient Eight Clans! Each clan cherishes it like a precious gem, carefully guarding it, and even ordinary Elders in the clan rarely get to see it.
How can such a heavy treasure be borrowed just by asking?
"Hun Xuzi, do you know what you are saying?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan's eyes flashed with cold light, her voice so cold it seemed to freeze the air.
"Hehe, Clan Chief Ling Yuan, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is an ominous object, keeping it in the Spirit Realm will only bring disaster to you. Perhaps it would be better to give it to me in exchange for peace?"
Facing Ling Yuan's sharp gaze, Hun Xuzi merely smiled.
These words obviously carried a hint of mockery.
The meaning of this was clear.
It was nothing more than saying that the Ling Clan was too weak and simply not qualified to guard the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade!
If they handed it over, it could perhaps buy the Ling Clan a way out.
After all, as one of the Ancient Eight Clans, the Ling Clan naturally had some heritage.
How could they endure such a great humiliation now!
As soon as these words came out, the entire Spirit Realm was in an uproar.
Many clansmen looked at each other, their eyes full of anger.
This Hun Xuzi, how dare he be so arrogant!
Is my Ling Clan one of those who are greedy for life and afraid of death!
"Hun Xuzi, it seems that today, I should teach you a lesson!"
Ling Yuan could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, and her Aura suddenly erupted.
The Ling Clan suffered such a great humiliation; if the Clan Chief did not act, how would the Ling Clan stand on this continent in the future!!!
Before she finished speaking, Ling Yuan had already rushed towards Hun Xuzi like an arrow released from a bow. Her slender figure left a graceful arc in the air, instantly arriving in front of Hun Xuzi.
"Boom!"
Ling Yuan's jade hand formed a claw, striking down towards Hun Xuzi's head. This claw seemed gentle, yet it contained astonishing power, as if it could tear space apart.
Hun Xuzi snorted coldly, his figure flashed, narrowly dodging the fatal blow. The two of them exchanged blows fiercely in mid-air, each collision causing the heavens and earth to change color and strong winds to howl.
However, what surprised Ling Yuan was that Hun Xuzi's strength was even more formidable than she had imagined. Although she had the upper hand, she was unable to defeat him in a short period of time.
This was understandable, one was a Seven-Star Dou Sheng Early Stage, and the other was a Seven-Star Dou Sheng Middle Stage.
To determine a winner, it would likely be a prolonged battle.
Seeing that it was difficult to determine a winner for a while, the other Dou Sheng powerhouses of the Ling Clan also couldn't sit still.
"Attack together!"
With an order, several figures soared into the sky, attacking Hun Xuzi.
Immediately, brilliant light shot out and energy surged in mid-air, creating a spectacular scene.
Under the combined efforts of the many powerhouses of the Ling Clan, Hun Xuzi finally showed signs of weakness.
His figure became disheveled, his robes torn, and even a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
"Lord Void should be succeeding!"
However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, Hun Xuzi suddenly burst into laughter.
This mad laughter carried a strange hint of triumph, making everyone present feel a chill in their hearts.
Just then, a series of shrill screams suddenly came from the distant sky. The sounds were filled with despair and fear, making people's hair stand on end.
"What happened?"
The faces of the Ling Clan Elders gathered here were extremely grim. Because they clearly heard that those screams were from the Ling Clan's own people!
Before they could react, the distant sky was suddenly enveloped by a pitch-black darkness. It was a chilling darkness, as if it could devour all light.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Endless black flames permeated from the void, sweeping in like a tide. In an instant, the entire sky was covered by these terrifying black flames, and the world was plunged into darkness.
"What is this?"
Facing this sudden change, even Ling Yuan's face finally showed panic. Her eyes, which were usually full of wisdom, were now filled with shock and confusion.
"Ling Yuan, after today, there will be no more Ling Clan in this world!"
Hun Xuzi looked at the scene before him, his smile becoming increasingly sinister.
