Doupo: Marry a Young Doctor and Be Rewarded with Douhuang Cultivation

229: Slay the traitor within the clan!Facing the aggressive Hun Clan army, a thought instantly flashed through his mind. Xiao Ze quickly turned to Xun’er beside him and said, ”Xun’er, Hun Tiandi’s actions today are likely malicious. The possibility of him luring the tiger away from its mountain is extremely high! Is the Gu Clan’s Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade still within the ancestral hall?”

Xun’er was startled, nodding subconsciously, ”Yes, the ancestral hall is our clan’s Forbidden Ground, with the most stringent defenses. The ancient jade has always been guarded in rotation by several Elders, so there’s absolutely no mistake.”

”Are most of the Elders guarding the ancestral hall currently here for discussions, or watching the battle in the training ground?” Xiao Ze’s gaze quickly swept over the powerful Gu Clan experts in the sky, and the unease in his heart grew stronger.

Xun’er’s delicate body trembled, instantly understanding Xiao Ze’s meaning. Her face turned pale as she nodded, ”Yes... during the discussion just now, only Elder Gu Yang and three junior Elders were left to guard the ancestral hall...”

”Luring the tiger away from its mountain! The Hun Clan’s true target is the ancient jade!” Xiao Ze no longer hesitated, shouting sternly at Gu Yuan, ”Uncle Gu, there’s a trick at the ancestral hall, the ancient jade is in danger!”

This furious roar was like a true clap of thunder, waking everyone present.

Gu Yuan’s face instantly turned ashen. He never expected that Hun Tiandi would be so audacious, personally appearing to tie them down, while secretly having arranged a contingency plan!

Almost at the same moment his mind was greatly shaken, a shrill and urgent alarm pierced the sky from deep within the distant mountain range, like a desperate wail, echoing throughout the entire Ancient World!

”Woo—!”

The alarm was sharp and piercing, carrying a strong sense of crisis, causing all Gu Clan members’ hearts to sink.

”Hun Tiandi!”

Gu Yuan’s hair stood on end. The towering rage and killing intent instantly overwhelmed his reason.

The sky suddenly darkened, and endless Heaven and Earth energy frantically converged towards him, forming a vast energy tide behind him that connected Heaven and Earth. The sound of surging waves was like ten thousand horses galloping, shaking one’s Soul.

”Clan Chief! This is bad!”

A disheveled figure flew out desperately from deep within the mountain range, covered in wounds and with chaotic Qi. It was one of the three junior Elders who had been guarding the ancestral hall.

”Elder Gu Yang has betrayed us! He suddenly attacked and severely wounded the three of us, stole the ancient jade, and fled towards the Ancient World’s border!”

”What?!”

Upon hearing this, the entire Gu Clan was in an uproar. Everyone found this fact unbelievable.

Elder Gu Yang was an Elder of the Gu Clan, having guarded the ancestral hall for over a hundred years. He had always been loyal and highly respected, so how could he suddenly betray them?

”This is your doing!”

Gu Yuan’s icy gaze almost froze Hun Tiandi. He had already guessed that Elder Gu Yang must have been controlled or bribed by the Hun Clan through some means.

Hun Tiandi still only smiled, neither admitting nor denying it, but his calm and confident demeanor was the best answer itself.

His presence here was the biggest restraint. Gu Yuan, as the Gu Clan Chief, would never dare to leave easily, otherwise the Ancient World would face utter destruction.

”Seal off the Ancient World! No one is allowed to enter or exit!” Gu Yuan suppressed the rage and anxiety in his heart, sternly ordering, ”Gu Dao, you lead the three immortals of the ancient clan and the main force of the Black Annihilation Army. Immediately search the entire Ancient World and make sure to capture Gu Yang and retrieve the ancient jade!”

”Yes!”

Gu Dao did not dare to delay, immediately accepting the order. Just as he was about to lead the three immortals of the ancient clan and the Black Annihilation Army, Bloody and Bone quiet from behind Hun Tiandi simultaneously floated out, blocking their path from left and right.

”Haha, Gu Yuan, none of your people will leave today.” Hun Tiandi smiled, his tone full of mockery.

”You’re not worthy!”

Gu Yuan laughed in extreme anger, stepping forward. The energy tide behind him roared, transforming into a giant hand that blotted out the sky, carrying the power to destroy everything, and slammed down on Hun Tiandi’s head!

”Finally willing to get serious, huh?”

Hun Tiandi chuckled, not dodging. A pitch-black black hole suddenly appeared in his palm, rapidly expanding, as if it could swallow Heaven and Earth.

The tidal giant hand and the pitch-black black hole collided with a roar. There was no earth-shattering explosion as expected, only space silently crumbling inch by inch. Countless spatial cracks spread like a spiderweb, and a destructive energy storm swept out, instantly flattening the surrounding mountains.

”Attack!” Lei Ying Yan and Lei Ying Lei exchanged glances, instantly understanding the Hun Clan’s conspiracy.

If the Hun Clan were to seize the ancient jade today and gather all the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, the consequences would be unimaginable. The next to suffer would be the Yan Clan or the Lei Clan.

The two simultaneously erupted, their Peak Eight Star Dou Sheng Late Stage power unleashed without reservation. Lei Ying Yan’s abnormal fire and Lei Ying Lei’s lightning intertwined, forming a world-destroying attack, jointly striking at the black flame Elder.

”Two Lei Yings, let me play with you.” The black flame Elder let out a strange laugh, and the black flames around him transformed into several ferocious black Dragons, roaring as they met the attack.

”Xun’er, you immediately lead the remaining Black Annihilation Army to divide the area and search the mountains! Qingyang, you follow me in a frontal pursuit! We absolutely cannot let Gu Yang leave the Ancient World with the ancient jade!”

Seeing this, Gu Dao immediately took over the command of the Gu Clan, deploying forces in an orderly manner.

”Yes!” Xun’er and Gu Qingyang responded in unison, then led a large number of Black Annihilation Army experts, surging into the mountain range like a tide, commencing a carpet search.

Xiao Ze’s gaze quickly swept across the chaotic battlefield. On one side was the Peak showdown between Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi, on another was the fierce battle between Yan Jin Yan, Yan Jin Lei, and the black flame Elder, and on yet another, Bloody and Bone quiet were tying down the three immortals of the ancient clan, while Elder Gu Yang was fleeing with the ancient jade.

He knew that the ancient jade absolutely could not fall into the hands of the Hun Clan, otherwise all efforts would be in vain.

His gaze finally locked onto Xun’er. His figure flickered, appearing beside her as if teleporting, and he said in a deep voice, ”Xun’er, what is the strength of Elder Gu Yang? What level has his Soul cultivation reached?”

”Elder Gu Yang is a Five-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage expert, a top combatant even within the clan. Ordinary Dou Sheng simply cannot stop him.” Xun’er replied anxiously, her tone full of worry, ”As for his Soul cultivation... Clan Chief once said that he has touched the threshold of Heaven Realm Great Perfection, but is still one step away from Breakthrough.”

”Five-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage, Soul not yet at Heaven Realm Great Perfection... That’s enough.” A glint flashed in Xiao Ze’s eyes, and he already had a plan in mind, ”You continue to lead people to search the mountains, attract his attention, and protect me!”

Before his words finished, Xiao Ze had already sat cross-legged in the air, his hands rapidly forming seals.

Emperor Realm Soul spread out like a vast ocean.

Emperor Realm Soul, that was a Realm countless experts dreamed of. Soul Power was not only boundless but also capable of Soul Emergence, wandering the void, and even influencing reality and distorting Laws!

At this moment, Xiao Ze fully activated his Emperor Realm Soul. A formless, colorless, yet vast and ocean-like Soul Power, with him as the center, instantly spread out, like a giant rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up monstrous waves.

This Soul Power covered every inch of land within tens of thousands of miles, whether it was towering mountains, deep valleys, dense forests, or thick rock layers, all were completely enveloped by this Soul Power.

Unlike ordinary Soul perception, Emperor Realm Soul perception no longer stayed on the surface but permeated everywhere like mercury, leaving no stone unturned.

It could penetrate thick rock layers, delve deep underground, and use the flow of earth veins to perceive any abnormal energy fluctuations.

It could merge into the wind, spreading with the airflow, capturing every subtle sound.

At the same time, it could lock onto Soul aura. No matter how Elder Gu Yang concealed himself, he could not hide his own Soul imprint.
