260: Xuanyuan Tianhuan’s pain points!

However, Xuanyuan Tianhuan’s gaze was fixed on that immortal ray, and his pupils suddenly constricted, his face revealing an expression of disbelief.

The immortal ray passed through Third Master’s body without any reduction in power, striking the waters of the River of Time and causing a violent surge.

Yet, Third Master’s body remained unharmed.

That immortal ray passed through his body, but it didn’t harm him in the slightest!

He didn’t even have a single wound on his body, as if he were an illusion.

Third Master’s footsteps also stopped on the river at this moment.

He suddenly turned back, looking at Xuanyuan Tianhuan with a steady demeanor: “You shouldn’t have made a move.”

“Xuanyuan Tianhuan, honestly, you should thank me.”

Xuanyuan Tianhuan’s mouth was slightly agape due to his inner shock; he regained his senses, and his eyes once again became sharp: “What do you mean?”

Third Master calmly explained: “The Heavenly Dao Artifact of the Yuan Realm, the Xuanyuan Sword, your Xuanyuan Ancient Clan’s clan-protecting Divine Artifact.”

“The Artifact Spirit of the Xuanyuan Sword has already recognized Tian Chen as its master.”

“If you forcibly suppress its Artifact Spirit and use it, you won’t even be able to unleash fifty percent of the Xuanyuan Sword’s power.”

“In other words, if Tian Chen doesn’t revive, the Xuanyuan Sword will truly be useless in your hands.”

Xuanyuan Tianhuan’s emotions immediately showed obvious fluctuations.

What Third Master said had always been his sore spot.

However, only he within the entire Xuanyuan Ancient Clan knew about this matter, so how did this person figure it out?

“You… who exactly are you?”

Xuanyuan Tianhuan’s tone now carried deep apprehension.

He had interacted with the Master and First Master of the Thatched Cottage.

But the feeling this Third Master gave him, in terms of terrifying extent, could be said to far surpass that of the Master and First Master.

He could still contend and struggle with those two, and even had confidence in his heart.

But facing this Third Master of the Thatched Cottage, he felt as if he had no secrets, and everything about him had been seen through.

This was an extremely terrifying feeling, completely losing one’s sense of security.

“Xuanyuan Tianhuan, your Karma retribution is coming soon.”

“Many things, Karma has already arranged for you.”

“The next time we meet, will be when your retribution arrives.”

Third Master gazed at him, then turned and left.

This time, Xuanyuan Tianhuan did not make another move; instead, his gaze remained fixed on Third Master’s back.

Until he disappeared at the end of the River of Time.

Xuanyuan Tianhuan looked in the direction he left, muttering to himself: “Retribution, huh… Hmph!”

“Even if the retribution is terrible, so what!”

Xuanyuan Tianhuan’s eyes revealed an ambition that soared above the heavens, with no fear on his face, and he turned and left the River of Time.

Ancient Soul Nest.

In the main hall.

Soul Ning was holding the message from Gu Changge; after reading it, he couldn’t help but let out a cold snort.

Soul Shine was sitting nearby, a cup of Soul Blood in his hand, which he was enjoying with a look of pleasure.

Upon hearing Soul Ning’s movement, Soul Shine turned his eyes to him: “What’s wrong, Big Brother?”

“What did Gu Changge say?”

Soul Ning said: “He reached a cooperation with Destruction Demon Lord.”

“When the Ten Thousand Demons Divine Hall sends out its troops, he wants us to depart together and head to the Holy Land.”

“At that time, if the people of the Thatched Cottage dare to intervene, the people of our three super-first-rate forces will attack together to deal with the people from the Thatched Cottage.”

“This plan is not bad, but this feeling of being led by the nose is truly unpleasant.”

“If the Ancestor didn’t still need time, I would even want to help the Thatched Cottage and wipe out Gu Changge and his group!”

Soul Ning couldn’t help but crush the message in his hand at this moment, showing his aversion to Gu Changge.

“Big Brother, why don’t we secretly relay the message to the Thatched Cottage in advance?”

“Let the Thatched Cottage make some preparations early, so that Gu Changge’s plan doesn’t proceed so smoothly.”

“He needs to know that using our Ancient Soul Nest as a tool will come at a huge price!” Soul Shine suggested.

Soul Ning listened to his words, thought for a moment, and then quickly shook his head: “No.”

“Once we tell the Thatched Cottage this news, we might instead be caught off guard by them.”

“This is a method of harming the enemy by a thousand and damaging oneself by eight hundred; it’s not worth it just to get revenge on Gu Changge.”

“And there’s no rush; this time, we’ll go along with his wishes.”

“In a little over a month, the Ancestor will have completely completed the Fusion with Ksitigarbha’s Physical Body.”

“At that time, apart from the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan, which has been reclusive for many years, my Ancient Soul Nest will have no rivals in the Yuan Realm.”

Soul Shine nodded: “Okay, I’ll listen to Big Brother.”

“Then we’ll wait another month or so.”

“Let Gu Changge be self-righteous for a while longer; then we’ll see if his Evil Infant Realm can withstand the erosion of my Ancient Soul Nest!” Soul Shine said.

As power holders of super-first-rate forces, none of them could tolerate being blackmailed and following the other party’s pace.

Gu Changge naturally knew that Soul Shine and Soul Ning would harbor resentment towards him.

But he believed he could control these two Limitless Realm experts of the Soul Clan by relying on the news that Ksitigarbha’s Physical Body was in the Ancient Soul Nest.

However, he probably never expected that Ksitigarbha’s Physical Body would soon completely become the property of the Soul Clan.

Within the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan.

In Xuanyuan Tianhao’s courtyard, he stood alone, gazing at the vast, white sky.

Elder Huo’s figure slowly walked in from outside the courtyard: “Young Lord.”

Xuanyuan Tianhao then looked at him: “Elder Huo, the matter with the Heaven and Earth Pavilion was handled well.”

“Next… you go to the Phoenix Clan.”

“Father just sent me a message, saying that the Grand Ancestor personally ordered me to sever all Karma related to Chu Yun outside.”

“Anything that could implicate me must be dealt with.”

“Therefore, the people of the Phoenix Clan… not a single one will be left.”

“You go.”

After hearing this, Elder Huo subconsciously asked: “Young Lord, what about Phoenix Xingyuan?”

“He is also a member of the Phoenix Clan; if he finds out we wiped out his entire clan, and if he really can return in the future, your subordinate is worried…”
