Chapter 135: Your Daughter is Very Accommodating

Hun Tiandi listened to Gu Yuan's words being slightly stunned, before revealing a meaningful smile.

He calmly said, "I see. So, you wanted to trade my sons for your own hostage. Is that it?"

Many forces present were eagerly waiting for Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan to engage in battle, hoping to take advantage of the situation and seize resources when both sides were weakened.

Hun Tiandi was a smart man. When he realized that Gu Yuan and the Gu Clan's Three Immortals were targeting his sons, he immediately understood Gu Yuan's intentions—to use his own children as leverage.

However, their plan had failed.

Hun Tiandi remarked, "Gu Yuan, I must say, your method was quite clever. 'An eye for an eye,' right? Unfortunately, you have failed."

"You won't have another chance to implement this plan. It's no longer viable."

Gu Yuan let out a long breath, understanding that attempting to threaten Hun Tiandi using his method was now impossible after the failure of the Gu Clan's Three Immortals.

Hun Tiandi wouldn't give him a second chance, nor would the Soul Clan.

With a calm demeanor, Gu Yuan asked, "Hun Tiandi, I want to know how you will release my daughter."

His gaze locked onto Hun Tiandi's, showing seriousness and determination. Since he had come to the Soul Clan and even lost a Grade Nine Dao Pill, he couldn't leave without bringing his daughter back.

Otherwise, it would be a loss on all fronts.

It would seem he had lost both his wife and his army.

"What?"

Upon hearing Gu Yuan's words, the various factions and ancient races trembled with a slight shock.

They hadn't expected that Hun Tiandi had actually captured Gu Yuan's daughter. No wonder Gu Yuan wanted to use the same method against him.

While feeling shocked, the various factions also labeled the Soul Clan as someone not to be provoked or offended.

The Soul Clan's actions were truly ruthless, going as far as kidnapping the weak.

Although the powerful factions held disdain for such tactics, no one came forward to condemn them. After all, it was always the law of the jungle, where the strong reigned supreme, wasn't it?

The respect was reserved for the strong, while the weak were left to be forgotten. As for how the strong became stronger, nobody cared, and nobody paid attention.

The strong would always be strong.

That was the eternal order!

Hun Tiandi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Gu Yuan and said, "Gu Yuan, I have already stated before that all I want is the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade."

"Unfortunately, so much time has passed, and you still haven't delivered the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade. So, your precious daughter had to live in my Soul Clan all this time."

...

"The Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade?"

As the various factions heard the conversation between Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi, their hearts skipped a beat. So, Hun Tiandi's objective had always been the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade.

Kidnapping Gu Yuan's daughter was also for the sake of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade. Damn, how despicable!

At the same time, it served as a wake-up call for the ancient races present. It seemed that the Soul Clan and Hun Tiandi were planning to take action against the other ancient races, focusing their attention on the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade.

However, Hun Tiandi had made a mistake in choosing his target. By starting with the mighty Gu Clan, he had underestimated their strength, as the Gu Clan's foundation was in no way weaker than that of the Soul Clan.

If there were any real friction between the two clans and they ended up mutually wounded, the ones who would still benefit in the end were the onlookers.

The remaining ancient races could simply sit back and watch the Soul Clan and the Gu Clan fight.

As for how they fought, it was their own business. They wouldn't intervene; they would only step in at crucial moments to take advantage.

However, they were unaware of the price they would pay for spectating and enjoying the show within the Soul Clan.

They would lose the "Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade," which their ancient races had always treasured.

...

Gu Yuan said, "Hun Tiandi, as you know, it's simply impossible for me to give you the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade. How about you propose another condition?"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Hun Tiandi's mouth as he looked at Gu Yuan and said, "Since you disagree, then there's nothing more to discuss."

With that, Hun Tiandi spread his hands, appearing indifferent.

The Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade of the Gu Clan was already in his possession. Even if Gu Yuan agreed to the exchange now, Hun Tiandi would not consent because Gu Yuan had long lost the bargaining chip for the exchange.

Swoosh!

Hun Tiandi's figure moved like the wind and appeared ghostly beside Gu Yuan. There was no fluctuation in his aura, indicating that Hun Tiandi had no intention of making a move.

Gu Yuan didn't sense any aura from Hun Tiandi and didn't remain overly vigilant. He allowed Hun Tiandi to approach him closely.

Hun Tiandi leaned in close to Gu Yuan's ear and whispered softly, "Gu Yuan, your daughter is quite lovely!"

Swoosh!

As the words of Hun Tiandi fell, Gu Yuan immediately flew into a rage. The aura around him surged like a storm, making a roaring sound as he glared angrily at Hun Tiandi.

Sensing Gu Yuan's strength from his aura, Hun Tiandi distanced himself from Gu Yuan.

Standing tall in the moonlight, Hun Tiandi looked at Gu Yuan with folded arms and said, "Gu Yuan, I feel it necessary to remind you that this is the Soul Clan. Today is my wedding day. If you cause trouble here today, you should know the consequences, right?"

Hun Tiandi looked at Gu Yuan with a smile that was not quite a smile. He enjoyed seeing Gu Yuan's current state of being unable to tolerate him yet unable to do anything about it.

The forces that were prepared to spectate had long retreated to a safe distance, afraid of being affected by Gu Yuan's aura.

They were curious about what Hun Tiandi had said to Gu Yuan to make him so furious. What made Gu Yuan disregard his image and want to make a move against Hun Tiandi?

At this moment, Gu Yuan was filled with immense anger as he glared at Hun Tiandi and said, "Hun Tiandi, you are despicable! Today, I will settle the score with you!"

Golden flames surged from Gu Yuan's body, and finally, with a resentful palm strike, he unleashed a terrifying power.

Wherever the giant flaming palm passed, the void shattered. It appeared beautiful under the moonlight, but beneath that beauty was a destructive force.

Swoosh!

Hun Tiandi extended his finger, and a void flame permeated the air, forming a devouring black hole that completely swallowed the palm strike.

In front of the immense black hole, Gu Yuan's body also appeared, and he threw a punch.

As the devouring black hole disappeared, Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan, the two top powerhouses on their respective continents, engaged in a fierce battle.

The entire Soul Realm trembled as their terrifying aftermath swept through the entire realm.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

...

The clash between the two was earth-shattering and terrifying, shaking the majority of the Soul Realm into nothingness.

Under these circumstances, many powerful beings had no choice but to retreat from the Soul Realm. The Soul Clan's strong warriors were also trying their best to use their means to evacuate their clan members.

They understood that if the clan Leader and Gu Yuan seriously fought, the entire Soul Realm would likely be lost. They could only do their best to salvage the situation.

The Soul Clan's warriors were busy rescuing their own people, which naturally led to the neglect of the three Gu Clan immortals.
