Chapter 35 - Chapter 35: Duel at the Fallen Peak Soul Heaven Emperor's Suspicion

A powerful wave of pressure erupted in an instant

Caught off guard Gu Dao and Gu Zhengyang both staggered back several steps

Their expressions changed slightly

Sinister laughter echoed coldly through the air

As expected of the Gu Clan

You actually only sent two out of the Three Ancients to deal with me

Do you think too lightly of me thinking two people are enough to bring me down

Hun Miesheng stood with his hands behind his back advancing step by step through the void toward them

The pressure from his aura pressed heavily upon them and from within his body erupted a roar of deep black flames

The flames spread outward covering half the sky forming a sea of fire

From within the fire sea emerged a black serpent its massive tail swaying as it coiled around Gu Dao and Gu Zhengyang

Sensing the extreme dark flames that seemed capable of reducing all to nothingness both elders inhaled sharply

So it truly is the Void Devouring Flame

I'm wondering if I kill you two here today and leave the Gu Clan with only one of its Three Ancients will your clan still dare oppose my Soul Clan

Hun Miesheng's tone turned icy

A faint blue light flickered in his hidden palm

Gravity of Ten Thousandfold

The two elders felt a sudden heaviness upon their bodies as if they had fallen into a mire

Heh

Void Devouring Flame your strength is indeed above ours but if you think that's enough to take both our lives then you are gravely mistaken

Surging Dou Qi rippled around them isolating them from the oppressive aura

Void Devouring Flame we did not come here to become enemies we only want to take the young miss back to the clan

So long as you release her and allow us to return peacefully we promise not to pursue the matter

Hun Miesheng pulled Gu Xun'er into his palm and gently caressed her delicate flawless face

Gu Zhengyang's expression darkened but was held back by Gu Dao

You want to save her

Of course her life is of utmost importance to our Gu Clan she cannot afford even the slightest harm

Gu Dao said with a faint tone of threat

Tsk tsk tsk

As expected of the Gu Clan's most perfect Divine Grade bloodline born in the past thousand years you truly treasure her dearly

How do you know that

Even Gu Dao's expression changed at those words the bloodline secret had been guarded with utmost secrecy to avoid assassination from rival clans

How I know is none of your concern

Hun Miesheng replied coldly

You only need to know one thing

Everything in this world in my eyes can be traded

Her life is no exception. What do you want

Gu Dao's face turned grim

Hun Miesheng chuckled softly

The Void Devouring Flame surging through the sky suddenly erupted with loud explosions a violent burst of energy rippled outward in all directions

Not good

Gu Dao and Gu Zhengyang quickly formed a Dou Qi barrier around themselves to block the shockwave

With a flick of his sleeve Hun Miesheng carried Gu Xun'er upward soaring into the sky as a dark cloud of fire

The cloud twisted and formed a ghostly face

A ghostly voice drifted down from above

You want to save her that's easy

One month from now meet me at the Fallen Peak

Bring the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade and we will make the exchange

If you fail to come consider the consequences for yourselves

Oh and give old man Gu Yuan a message for me

Until then I will take good care of his precious daughter on his behalf Cackling filled the skies

Ah

Father hurry and save me

Gu Xun'er screamed in fright

The eerie laughter echoed across heaven and earth as the fire cloud rolled away disappearing without a trace

Hmphl

That damn Void Devouring Flame

Gu Zhengyang's face darkened the surrounding space groaning and twisting with tension

Let's report back to the clan head and leave the final decision to him

Gu Dao exhaled slowly still staring at the place where the fire cloud vanished

He could not shake the feeling that something was off

With a wave of his hand he tore open a spatial rift and the two entered the passage

Hun Miesheng used spatial movement to change directions several times fleeing thousands of miles before finally stopping

Beads of cold sweat dotted his brow

Had he taken even a single wrong step earlier his identity and strength would have been exposed

Ding system prompt aura simulation has ended to continue please recharge

Hun Miesheng's mouth twitched

Ten thousand villain points gone in three minutes what a rip off

Then again if aura simulation came with no price people would simulate Dou Emperor auras and scare everyone to death

What did you do to me just now

Gu Xun'er trembled her voice shaky she had blacked out earlier and remembered nothing

What do you think a man and a woman alone in the dark what could I possibly have done

Hun Miesheng gently hooked her smooth cheek with his finger

You you

Despicable shameless vile

Gu Xun'er's imagination ran wild clutching her body as she shivered

Hun Miesheng gave a wicked grin hoisting her up and tearing open a spatial rift returning directly to Soul Hall

Gu Yuan listened to the elders' report and his face grew darker with every word

Outrageous

Utterly outrageous

Does this Void Devouring Flame think himself invincible

He dared touch Xun'er and even dreams of getting our Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade

With a roar he crushed the white jade cup in his hand into powder

A month later at Fallen Peak you say

That's right he demanded we bring the Jade to Fallen Peak in exchange for the young miss

Gu Dao nodded solemnly

Fallen Peak Fallen Peak

I injured you once I can do it again

One month from now shall be your death day Void Devouring Flame

Fallen Peak will become your burial ground

I'll see how you escape this time

Gu Yuan's gaze sharpened as he stared into the void

Back in his chamber Hun Miesheng shivered uncontrollably for a split second as if some beast were watching him from the shadows

Meanwhile in the Soul Realm Soul Heaven Emperor too was pacing restlessly

Dark energy curled around his body as powerful waves of aura pulsed outward

Listening to his subordinate's report the deep black eyes of Soul Heaven Emperor narrowed slightly in suspicion

You said Void Devouring Flame has been gone from Soul Realm for more than ten days

Soul Heaven Emperor frowned

Two days ago Gu Yuan suddenly came storming in claiming Void Devouring Flame had kidnapped his daughter

Yet Void Devouring Flame never reported anything to him

What the hell was going on

Weren't they supposed to act against the Spirit and Stone Clans first

He hadn't even moved yet and this guy had already provoked the Gu Clan

Yes

Since Void Devouring Flame left for Central Plains we have not received a single message

Soul Heaven Emperor grew increasingly doubtful

Void Devouring Flame was cautious by nature and never did anything without gain

The alliance between Soul Clan and him was purely one of mutual benefit

The only reason he would go to Central Plains would be to devour soul bodies

Send the order have Soul Demon visit Soul Hall and find out what Void Devouring Flame is really up to
