"I don't know." The old woman's soul was bound to a pitch-black iron pillar, with chains made of special metal securing her.
These were methods once used by the Hall of Souls, but now they were being used on members of the Soul Clan.
"Don't know?" Xiao Wu sneered, and the soul whip in his hand lashed out fiercely at the old woman's body.
"If you can't explain yourself today, this Saint will make your soul scatter!"
"I really don't know!" the old woman wailed.
"When the Soul Clan was defeated back then, I was severely injured by a Saint of the Xiao Clan. I only managed to escape by relying on the World Soul Stone. Who knew that as soon as I came out, I'd run into a Half-Saint from your Xiao Clan."
"Half-Saint?" Xiao Wu narrowed his eyes, and another whip cracked.
"I was wrong, it's a Saint, a Saint!!!"
The old woman quickly changed her words, and Xiao Wu's expression softened slightly.
"What about Yun Potian?"
"When I was fleeing back then, I deliberately hid the World Soul Stone inside a stone. Later, when Yun Potian was exploring the Central Plains, he felt that the stone was extraordinary and collected it.
As a result, he was later severely injured for some unknown reason and passed away while sitting on that stone. Before dying, he also discovered the World Soul Stone's special properties, and his soul fell into the World Soul Stone."
The old woman's voice was weak.
"So that's how it is." Xiao Wu nodded. The young master had too many entanglements with that insignificant sect recently. As a protector, he still had to pay attention to this small sect.
"So, you really don't know anything about the Soul Clan remnants?"
"You need to think carefully. Once you lose your value, if you are brought back to the Xiao Clan in the future, you will only be turned into nourishment for the Soul Nourishing Ground."
Hearing the words "Soul Nourishing Ground," the old woman's expression changed. As a member of the Soul Clan, how could she not know what the Soul Nourishing Ground was for? Once she became nourishment for it, it meant her soul would dissipate.
Her expression shifted, and finally, she spoke, revealing a piece of information.
"Back then, your Xiao Clan had a young Saint who had a past with a Saintess of the Soul Clan. During the great battle between the Xiao and Soul Clans, that Dou Sheng expert secretly protected the Saintess and her few closest family members, allowing them to escape."
"Oh?" Xiao Wu's expression changed. He hadn't expected the Xiao Clan to have traitors.
"Where are those Soul Clan remnants hiding now?" A hint of excitement appeared on his face. If the Soul Clan Saintess hadn't perished back then, she should also be a Dou Sheng expert by now.
Just providing information about a Dou Sheng-level Soul Clan remnant would be a great accomplishment.
"I don't know," the old woman said with a bitter smile. "I was severely injured not long after the Saintess escaped, and I've been staying in the World Soul Stone ever since."
"Useless!" Xiao Wu snorted coldly. His eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Do you know the name of that Xiao Clan Saint? If you tell me, I might spare your life."
"Is that true?"
The old woman's face lit up.
"You have no room to negotiate now," Xiao Wu said lightly.
"Alright," the old woman gave a wry smile.
"That Saint back then was considered a rather outstanding figure among the Dou Sheng in your Xiao Clan. His name seems to be Xiao Shaobei... if he hadn't perished..."
Before she could finish, Xiao Wu's expression had already become quite interesting.
"Shut up!"
The old woman was startled by his rebuke.
"Is this a secret I should be hearing?" Xiao Wu suddenly wished he could delete his memories.
The Xiao Clan's Clan Leader let the Soul Clan's Saintess go. Was this a secret he should know? What good would knowing this secret do him? Would he be killed by the Clan Leader upon returning to the clan? Or should he tell his clansmen, "Brothers, run! The Clan Leader is a traitor!"
No matter how he looked at it, the consequences didn't seem to be something he could handle.
"No, I can't be the only one who knows this secret; I'm not high enough level." Xiao Wu shook his head.
"This matter must be brought to the attention of the Imperial Prince. He is someone who can directly meet the Clan Ancestor. On the entire continent, the only one who could suppress the Clan Leader is probably the Clan Ancestor."
Xiao Wu suddenly felt a headache coming on.
Deep within the imperial palace.
'Clack, clack,' the beautiful and alluring Imperial Princess was riding a horse, dressed in a set of exquisite, form-fitting silver armor. However, for some reason, her face was flushed in an odd way.
After a while, the princess dismounted, looking tired. Xiao Yan stood up and walked behind her.
"Your Highness, I'm about to charge into battle. Are you ready?"
Yaoye didn't speak, just nodded silently.
After a night of bloody fighting, the princess nestled in her knight's arms.
"I heard you're leaving the Imperial City in a couple of days?"
"That's right." Xiao Yan nodded slightly.
"The alliance is something your royal family must seriously consider. In the future, this alliance will definitely become the overlord of the Northwest Continent. While I'm gone, experts will come to assist you and Ya Fei in managing these affairs."
"I hope that when I return, I can call you Your Majesty, the Empress."
Xiao Yan chuckled.
"You've got a good thing going. You can build your own faction and use it to keep women." Yaoye gave a light laugh, a mischievous glint in her beautiful eyes.
"Your Highness, it's not a good thing for a woman to be too smart."
Xiao Yan grinned, pinching her full moon-like form, and said lightly, "You two big sisters should take care of Yanran. She'll be in charge of the Yunlan Sect in the future."
"Master Xiao Yan broke off the engagement with her and then got her back. That's quite a skill."
Yaoye suddenly thought of something and said, "You probably have your eyes on more than just Nalan Yanran, right? With Master Xiao Yan's skills, couldn't you get that Sect Leader Yun?"
"Don't mention it." Xiao Yan shook his head.
Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Yaoye looked surprised.
"Is that Sect Leader Yun so extraordinary?"
"I don't know about out of character, I'm just too lazy to put my warm face on a cold butt," Xiao Yan shook his head.
He wasn't like Gu He, that kind of simp. For a scumbag, no matter what level of goddess you are, once he can't get you, you're no different from any ordinary woman on the street.
"You say you're a little hard to get? OK, I'll block you."
"Tsk tsk, I never thought you'd run into a wall too," Yaoye chuckled softly and suddenly wrapped herself around Xiao Yan's waist.
"What are you doing?"
"Ya Fei has already become a Great Fighter, aren't you going to charge into battle for this princess a few more times? My knight." Yaoye's bewitching voice reached Xiao Yan's ears.
"Bold, do you think of this young master as a donkey in a production team?" Xiao Yan reprimanded as Yaoye pushed him onto the bed.
"Squeak squeak." The sound of riding a horse came from the big bed.
Three days later, Xiao Yan sat on the roof of a building in the Starry Night Hall, his expression vacant.
Sigh, if this goes on, I'll become a furnace. Xiao Yan covered his lower back and sighed softly.
He suddenly understood what it meant by emptiness is form.
Crack. The space above the capital suddenly cracked open, and a spatial fissure appeared, attracting the attention of many strong individuals in the capital.
Only Xiao Yan wore a smile.
Xiao Wen's figure appeared in the sky, followed by many young men.
