Chapter 024: The Problem of Hun Tiandi

After Void Devouring Flame had completely left, the two powerful members of the Soul Clan slowly stood up and glanced meaningfully at the small courtyard behind them.

They didn't understand who the little girl in the courtyard was, for whom both the clan leader and Void Devouring Flame gave the same order.

Could it be that the little girl in the courtyard was clan leader's illegitimate daughter outside?

The more they thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

Otherwise, why would two big shots in the Soul Clan give the same order for her? It was simply impossible.

...

After leaving the "small black room," Void Devouring Flame went straight to the residence of one of the Four Demon Saints, Hun Sha, where he met another little girl brought back by Hun Tiandi.

At the moment he saw Qing Lin, Void Devouring Flame was attracted by her eyes.

As the second-ranked heavenly fire on the Heavenly Fire Ranking, Void Devouring Flame was also knowledgeable about the so-called " Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils."

Void Devouring Flame smiled and rubbed Qing Lin's head, saying, "This little girl is quite lively."

And then he left, leaving Qing Lin standing there looking bewildered.

She didn't understand who the person in the black robe was and what was going on.

After leaving Hun Sha's residence, Void Devouring Flame muttered to himself, "The Emperor went out and brought back two little girls, both of whom are extraordinary people. The Emperor is really lucky."

As he spoke, Void Devouring Flame's body turned into black flames and disappeared.

...

In the secret chamber where Hun Tiandi was in seclusion, he took out the storage ring with the remnant soul of the Yao Chen.

"Come out!"

"You don't need me to invite you to come out, do you?" Hun Tiandi said lightly as he looked at the black and ancient storage ring in his palm.

"Yao Chen greets the senior!" A virtual soul flew out of the storage ring, dressed in white robes with white hair and beard, giving the appearance of an immortal.

"Hmm."

Hun Tiandi nodded and went straight to the point, saying, "You should know my identity, right?"

Yao Chen bowed his head respectfully and said, "This junior can guess a little!"

After killing Xiao Yan and obtaining the storage ring, Hun Tiandi sealed it.

Therefore, Yao Chen did not know what happened afterwards.

However, Yao Chen was not an ordinary person. He had some speculation about Hun Tiandi's identity.

That is, this person is from Soul Palace, no, more accurately, he is a person behind the Soul Race.

And this person's status in the Soul Race may not be low.

"Well!"

When Hun Tiandi heard this, he became interested and asked, "Since you guessed it, tell me, who am I?"

Yao Chen still bowed his head.

Facing Hun Tiandi's question, Yao Chen knew that he had to answer. He respectfully said, "Yao Chen dares to guess that Senior is a person of the Soul Race."

Hun Tiandi's lips slightly raised, revealing a wicked smile, and said, "Correct, I am indeed a person of the Soul Race."

"I don't know if you can guess my status in the Soul Race?"

"If you can guess, I can consider letting you go."

Upon hearing this, Yao Chen was delighted. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind as he tried to guess Hun Tiandi's status.

Hun Tiandi saw Yao Chen's silence and knew that he was thinking. He continued slowly, "I'll give you a chance, but you only have one chance to guess my identity."

"By the way, if you're wrong..."

When he said the last words, Hun Tiandi stopped talking because the threat in his words was clear enough.

Of course, even if Yao Chen really guessed his identity correctly, so what?

If he did not serve the Soul Race, Hun Tiandi would still kill him.

Although Yao Chen was now only a wisp of soul, a tiny ant that was extremely insignificant, don't forget that it was he who cultivated Xiao Yan, who overthrew the Soul Race.

Therefore, Hun Tiandi would never allow Yao Chen to cultivate another Xiao Yan.

Either he serves the Soul Race or he dies!

There were only these two choices. There was no third option.

Or maybe, Yao Chen had the ability to escape from under his nose.

But Yao Chen, at the peak of his power, didn't have such an ability.

Not to mention the fact that Yao Chen now only has a wisp of remaining soul left. He simply doesn't have the strength.

The words of Hun Tiandi fell into Yao Chen's ears, causing his wisp of remaining soul to tremble slightly. He secretly muttered to himself, "It seems that none of the people of the Soul Clan are good people."

Fortunately, Yao Chen did not know what Hun Tiandi was thinking.

Hun Tiandi really had such thoughts, even if he had guessed it right, he would not let him go.

If Yaochen knew, he would definitely say, "Fuck you, I'm not guessing anymore. This is clearly playing with people, no... playing with ghosts!"

In Yao Chen's mind, the name of a prominent figure in the Soul Clan flashed by, a Soul Clan prominent figure whose name he had heard before.

Finally, Yaochen locked onto a name and weakly asked, "Senior, are you Senior Hun Kong?"

Hun Kong?

The chief alchemist of the Soul Clan. His status within the Soul Clan was second only to that of Hun Tiandi.

His status was extremely noble. Therefore, Yao Chen guessed that Hun Tiandi was actually Hun Kong.

After all, Yao Chen couldn't understand why anyone in the Soul Clan would be interested in him, except for Hun Kong, who was also an alchemist.

"Hun Kong?"

Hun Tiandi murmured.

He could hear the expectation in Yao Chen's words.

But was he Hun Kong?

No... he was not Hun Kong.

He had no connection with Hun Kong whatsoever.

Hun Tiandi shook his head and said, "I am not Hun Kong. I don't practice alchemy."

Yao Chen was completely dumbfounded.

This name was his final answer, the closest he had come to the truth. He never thought that it would be wrong, but it was. How could this be?

No... Absolutely impossible.

Yao Chen's soul was completely stunned.

Unable to accept this.

All of this is not real.

But when Yao Chen calmed down, he realized he had lost. He was already a remnant soul, an existence that was neither human nor ghost. What difference does it make whether he is alive or dead?

If he hadn't wanted to kill the sinner, he would have died many years ago. What's the point of waiting for now to die?

Yao Chen seemed to have figured everything out and said calmly, "I've lost to you, senior!"

As he spoke, Yao Chen was ready to close his eyes, waiting for Hun Tiandi to finish him off.

But after waiting for a few seconds, Hun Tiandi still did not finish him off.

Yao Chen slowly opened his eyes.

Hun Tiandi's voice also fell into Yao Chen's ears at this moment, saying, "Kill you? Now is not the time. You answer a question for this seat, and see if your answer will make this seat kill you?"

Upon hearing Hun Tiandi's words, Yao Chen almost instinctively asked, "Senior, what's the question?"
