Chapter 299: Hun Clan Retreats! The Ling Clan Expresses Their Gratitude!



In an instant, Ling Yuan was rendered speechless by Hun Tiandi's remark.

Indeed!

In this world, weakness is a crime!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

As the leader of a clan, she should have understood this a long time ago. The fact that her cultivation had not advanced in years gnawed at her mind.

With this thought, Ling Yuan bit her lip hard, drawing a trace of blood.

The massive black flame form of Nihility Devouring Flame swayed slightly, releasing a deep, chilling laugh.

It seemed like he could see through her thoughts.

"Heh, they're just ants. Dead or alive, it makes no difference. Living is just suffering."

His abyss-like black eyes gleamed with disdain as he spoke slowly.

These words pierced the hearts of every clan member like a dagger.

The previously calm Ling Clan members were once again engulfed in intense fury and sorrow.

With bloodshot eyes, they glared at the massive form of Nihility Devouring Flame, their gazes filled with flames of hatred.

Their loved ones and friends had just been brutally killed by this monster, and now they were being humiliated on top of that. The pain and anger were enough to burn away their sanity.

Ling Yuan's small body trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with a mix of sadness and anger.

As the leader, she felt the emotions of her people more deeply than anyone else. Seeing the heartbroken expressions of her clan, her heart ached as if it had been cut.

"Nihility Devouring Flame, we are now sworn enemies. As long as I live, I will see you destroyed!"

She took a deep breath, suppressing the rage within her, and looked directly at him, speaking each word with determination.

Though her voice was soft, each word was clear and resolute.

Her usually gentle eyes were now filled with a cold killing intent, as though she wished to freeze this demon.

"Hahahaha..."

"Just the futile rage of the weak!"

However, he merely laughed, his voice eerie and terrifying.

"Today, if not for Gu Yuan's interference, you would have been wiped from existence. Where would you find the opportunity to speak now?"

His massive form swayed, and the black flames surrounding him roared, as if mocking their clan's powerlessness.

His words were like salt on a wound, reigniting their fury. Many members stared at him with eyes filled with burning hatred, wishing they could tear him apart.

However, they also knew that he spoke the truth.

If Gu Yuan hadn't arrived in time, their clan would have been annihilated.

the tense atmosphere mounted, Ling Yuan suddenly turned to Hun Tiandi, her eyes gleaming sharply.

"Years ago, the seven ancient clans stood against the Xiao Clan, forcing them to split the Ancient God Jade into eight pieces. Now, your clan's actions- seeking to seize all the jades- threaten the remaining six clans. The six ancient clans will not tolerate this!"

Her crisp voice echoed through the skies.

As the clan leader, she had to hold her ground. There was no time to think of anything else.

Her words were firm and well-spoken.

She understood clearly that her clan alone couldn't threaten the Hun Clan.

The purpose of her words was to unite the other ancient clans to jointly oppose them.

Relying on the backing of the Gu Clan, she needed to make Hun Tiandi reconsider.

No matter how powerful he was, he wouldn't be foolish enough to face off against all six ancient clans.

Hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in his abyss-like eyes.

"Taking the Ancient God Jade makes one intolerable? Then why hasn't anyone destroyed the Gu Clan? They acquired the Xiao Clan's jade through deceit long ago!"

With a cold snort, his lips curled into a mocking smile.

His words were like a bombshell, instantly shifting the spotlight onto the Gu Clan.

After all, their acquisition of the Xiao Clan's jade was an undeniable fact!

His words were clearly meant to tarnish the Gu Clan's reputation.

"The Gu Clan and Xiao Clan have always been close. With Xiao Clan's decline, their descendants entrusted the jade to us for safekeeping. What's wrong with that?"

But Gu Yuan remained unfazed. His authoritative gaze swept over everyone present as he spoke calmly.

"It is your Hun Clan that truly seized and plundered. Not only that, you've resorted to using the evil abilities of the Tunling Clan to rob others of their Dou God bloodline! I believe, once this secret is revealed, no one will side with your clan."

Seeing that Hun Tiandi had fallen silent, he continued speaking.

With his words, he unleashed a wave of powerful pressure, enveloping the entire area once

more.

It was clear that he was determined to protect the Ling Clan today.

Hun Tiandi furrowed his brows.

"I see... That power from earlier..."

His words caused an uproar. Everyone was stunned by the secret he had exposed.

Even some clan elders appeared shocked, as they were clearly unaware of this dark secret.

As they recalled the devouring power from earlier, realization dawned upon everyone. "Yes, compared to seizing the Ancient God Jade, the Hun Clan's use of the Tunling Clan's evil powers is truly unforgivable!"

Ling Yuan was startled at first but quickly caught on.

The Xiao Clan had been in decline for many years and couldn't protect the jade. The Gu Clan taking over was reasonable. However, the actions of the Hun Clan were unforgivable.

She understood this well.

Her words managed to silence Hun Tiandi for a moment.

Faced with Gu Yuan's intervention and the threat of the other clans, he had no choice but to

weigh the consequences carefully.

"Hmph, enough talk!"

After a moment, he snorted coldly, saying no more. He turned and left with Nihility

Devouring Flame and Hun Huzi.

In an instant, a black flash streaked through the sky.

Their figures disappeared.

With the Hun Clan's departure, peace finally returned to the realm.

Ling Yuan took a deep breath, then turned to face Gu Yuan and bowed deeply in gratitude.

"Thank you. Our clan will never forget your great kindness!"

Following her lead, all the Ling Clan members knelt and paid their respects to him.

"Thank you, Clan Leader Gu Yuan, for saving us!"

"There's no need for such formalities. If not for Gu Fei's message and the shattering of the

space jade slip, I wouldn't have arrived in time."

He responded humbly to their gratitude, not putting on airs.

Upon hearing him mention Gu Fei, her gaze shifted to him, appraising him.

"I've long heard of the Gu Clan young leader possessing extraordinary talent, and seeing you

today, you are indeed remarkable!"

Ling Yuan exclaimed in amazement.

This was not mere flattery towards him. She truly felt deeply shocked.

One must understand that she was several hundred years older than him, yet his cultivation

was on par with hers.

Such talent was truly a rarity in a million years, unheard of before!
