He watched as Xiao Xuan's Soul once again turned into that ray of light and returned to his storage ring.
A hint of panic appeared in Xiao Yi's eyes.
"Ancestor..."
"Ancestor..."
No matter how Xiao Yi called out, there was no response.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi immediately mobilized his Soul Power, wanting to enter the black storage ring to investigate.
However, due to Xiao Xuan's Soul, the storage ring was inexplicably sealed by a Soul barrier.
Even though Xiao Yi's Soul Power had reached the Early Heaven Realm, he could do nothing against that barrier.
As soon as his Soul Power touched the pitch-black storage ring, it was instantly rebounded back into his body!
Facing this sudden separation, Xiao Yi quickly recovered his senses.
This was because Xiao Yi understood that Xiao Xuan was only temporarily gone.
His Soul was still inside the black storage ring, even though the battle between Xiao Xuan and Hun Tiandi just now had caused Xiao Xuan to burn his Soul Origin.
This damaged the Soul that had only just recovered, but as long as the Soul was not extinguished,
there would certainly be Heaven And Earth Treasure in the world capable of helping Xiao Xuan restore his Soul Power and awaken once more.
However, the prerequisite for all this was for him to continuously grow stronger.
Now that Hun Tiandi had emerged early and learned the news that Xiao Xuan's Soul had left the Heavenly Tomb.
Although they had temporarily made Hun Tiandi leave today with the help of Gu Yuan and others.
Xiao Yi knew that Hun Tiandi had schemed for a thousand years to achieve the rank of Dou Di.
He would absolutely not give up without obtaining the Xiao Clan's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade... Furthermore, having just encountered a true Prodigy, Hun Feng, who was a High-Tier Half-Saint.
Xiao Yi truly realized that his Dou Zun level Cultivation was utterly insignificant when facing a genuine powerhouse.
Therefore, the most pressing matter for Xiao Yi now was to Cultivate and become stronger.
He needed to comprehend the Legacy left behind by Emperor Xiao.
As for a place to Cultivate, the underground magma of Jia Nan Academy was naturally the best choice for the current Xiao Yi.
Moreover, Xiao Yi Xian was still waiting for him at Jia Nan Academy.
Immediately, Xiao Yi calmed his mind. Without any unnecessary delay, his figure flashed, and he left the collapsed and dilapidated Xiao Realm.
Soul Realm!
Hun Tiandi lightly massaged his forehead, leaning back on the Soul Throne atop the central platform in the great hall.
"Clan Chief..."
"Since Xiao Xuan's remnant Soul has awakened, why didn't we eliminate him in one fell swoop and completely extinguish the hope of the Xiao Clan's revival?"
In the hall, a man wearing a black robe spoke respectfully toward Hun Tiandi on the Soul Throne.
This person was none other than the Hall Master of the Soul Hall, Soul Mie Sheng, the strongest faction on the surface of the Central Plains, and a powerhouse of the Five-Star Dou Sheng level.
Upon hearing this, Hun Tiandi merely chuckled disdainfully.
"What about Xiao Xuan..."
"He is nothing more than a wisp of a remnant Soul now; if I wished it, I could destroy him at any time!"
"Furthermore, he was foolish enough to exchange blows with me today. Given the state of his remnant Soul, he will likely fall back into a deep slumber."
"The Xiao Clan..."
"Haha, they are just a useless Family that was removed from the Ancient Eight Clans."
Hun Tiandi's scholarly face was filled with a sinister smile, yet within that smile was a hint of conceit.
After all, in Hun Tiandi's view, the Hun Clan had spared no effort, using the strength of their entire Family a thousand years ago, to completely eradicate their greatest enemy, the Xiao Clan, all for the sake of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.
From that moment on, the Xiao Clan's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was already considered to be in the Hun Clan's grasp; it was merely a matter of time.
Over these thousand years, the Hun Clan plotted ceaselessly, specifically establishing the Hall of Souls.
This was done to handle the dirty work of collecting the Souls of powerhouses for the Hun Clan and setting up arrays in the Central Plains.
Currently, regarding the fragments of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, excluding the piece the Hun Clan already possessed,
the remaining seven pieces—the Xiao Clan's piece was already considered acquired in Hun Tiandi's eyes.
As for the Ling Clan, Shi Clan, Medicine Clan, Lei Clan, and Huo Clan Families, they were not worth mentioning to Hun Tiandi.
He did not even need to act himself; Void Swallowing Flame leading the charge would be enough to destroy them.
As for the Gu Clan, which seemingly had the ability to resist the Hun Clan, they had long been infiltrated. They only needed to wait for the right moment, and all eight ancient jade pieces would be secured.
By then...
A moment later, Hun Tiandi waved his hand and said softly.
"You may leave..."
"Make sure you handle the tasks I assigned you properly... Also..."
"Keep an eye on that Xiao Family brat who followed Xiao Xuan. I want him alive..."
Soul Mie Sheng nodded seriously and solemnly, acknowledging the order. His figure immediately flashed, and he departed the area.
However, even though Hun Tiandi personally commanded that Xiao Yi be captured alive,
while Soul Mie Sheng agreed, he had no intention of personally taking action.
After all, a mere Dou Zun was beneath Soul Mie Sheng's notice.
The Hall of Souls could stand firmly in the Central Plains not only because of the Hun Clan backing it, but also because it employed many external powerhouses.
Capturing a small Dou Zun alive was more than achievable.
After all, in front of Hun Tiandi, Soul Mie Sheng was just a minor Elder.
But in the eyes of the outside Central Plains, Soul Mie Sheng was the powerful and mysterious Hall Master of the Soul Hall.
After Soul Mie Sheng left, Hun Tiandi slightly turned his head to look at Hun Feng nearby and spoke softly.
"Feng'er, how did you feel about exchanging blows with that Xiao Family brat today..."
Hun Feng lowered his head slightly and responded in a deep voice.
"Replying to Clan Chief..."
"Although this person possesses the Xiao Clan's Clan Mark, his strength is truly too weak. Even when activating the Clan Mark, he only possesses the strength of a Seven-Star Dou Zun."
"Furthermore, the Dou Technique he possesses are merely low-tier Earth Rank Dou Technique, and although his Soul Power has reached the Heaven Realm, he has only barely stepped into the Heaven Realm."
"His talent is truly mediocre..."
Hun Tiandi nodded, quite satisfied upon hearing this.
"Feng'er, you may also retire..."
"You possess the Divine Grade Bloodline of my Hun Clan and are the hope of the Family. You must not slack off in your Cultivation."
"If you have any needs during your Cultivation, just ask the Family."
Hun Feng: "Thank you, Clan Chief..."
After speaking, Hun Feng also transformed into a wisp of black mist and left the area.
Among the younger generation of the Hun Clan, Hun Feng's talent was the most outstanding, and he was even the existence of the Young Clan Chief.
Therefore, Hun Feng was one of the few younger clansmen able to meet Hun Tiandi.
After Hun Feng retreated, only Hun Tiandi remained, sitting alone on the Soul Throne in the vast, pitch-black palace.
The next second, a mass of black flame suddenly appeared in the Void Realm.
In the time it took to breathe, the black flame slowly transformed into a human shape.
It was precisely the Void Swallowing Flame, ranked second on the strange fire ranking list.
Void Swallowing Flame came beside Hun Tiandi and spoke with a laugh.
"A thousand years have passed, and you still haven't forgotten the harm Xiao Xuan inflicted upon you..."
"Hehehe..."
Hun Tiandi's eyes narrowed, and he glanced at Void Swallowing Flame, speaking softly.
"Xiao Xuan?"
"What if he was a Half-step Dou Di? Now he is merely a wisp of a remnant Soul... The final victor is still me!"
