Chapter 1599: Chapter 1596: The Terror of the Immortal Clan

Xue Tu furrowed his brows, a complex expression flashing in his deep eyes.

He remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: ”This is a matter of great importance, we cannot act rashly.”

”Our clan has remained hidden for many years. Although we have formidable strength, we know very little about the Otherworldly Demons. Rashly getting involved may bring about catastrophic disaster for the Blood Clan.”

The white-haired elder slightly frowned, a hint of urgency in his eyes: ”Clan Leader, if the lips are gone, who will warm the teeth!”

”If the Immortal Realm is completely controlled by the Otherworldly Demons, our Blood Clan won’t be able to remain untouched.”

”Moreover, that Xu Wendong carries a Taoist Scripture Fragment. Perhaps he is destined by heaven, and by acting now, we align with fate.”

The other powerful members of the Blood Clan, upon hearing this, nodded in agreement and began to discuss in low voices.

Some agreed with the elder, believing that the Blood Clan should take responsibility for protecting the Immortal Realm.

Others showed concern, fearing that the Blood Clan would be dragged into endless war, and thought they should stay out of it.

Xue Tu raised his hand to signal for silence, and gravely said: ”I understand everyone’s concerns, but we cannot make decisions based on temporary emotions.”

”We must first secretly investigate the strength and movements of the Otherworldly Demons, and also observe Xu Wendong further.”

The crowd listened to Xue Tu’s words and found them reasonable, so they kept silent.

Xue Tu continued: ”Xue Shang, continue to monitor every move of Xu Wendong and see if he has any other hidden secrets.”

”As for investigating the Otherworldly Demons, Xue Ying and Xue Feng, you two lead a team of elites, secretly go to the Immortal Realm. Make sure not to reveal your presence, and swiftly return after gathering information.”

”Yes, Clan Leader!”

Xue Ying and Xue Feng responded in unison, their eyes shining with sharp determination, evidently full of vigor for this mission.

Having grown up here, they were eager to see the outside world.

Xue Tu looked at everyone again and solemnly reminded: ”Until things are clear, no one should act recklessly. The safety of the Blood Clan comes first.”

”Also, strengthen the defenses of our clan’s territory to prevent any external invasion.”

Elsewhere, under Xue Mu’s guidance, Xu Wendong arrived at a secluded place.

Here was an empty stone courtyard, surrounded by silence, as if isolated from the noise of the outside world.

The courtyard walls were built of ancient giant stones, with marks of age on their surface, seemingly telling stories of the past.

Inside the courtyard were simple stone benches and tables, with a few unknown flowers and plants growing sparsely around, gently swaying in the breeze, adding a bit of vitality to this somewhat cold stone courtyard.

Xue Mu smiled warmly and said politely: ”Friend Xu, please rest here for now!”

”I will instruct others to bring meals three times a day on time, ensuring you have no worries while staying here.”

”And, if you need anything, you can directly tell any of the Blood Clan members, but remember not to leave this courtyard easily.”

”After all, some of our Blood Clan’s strong members have bad tempers, and I’m afraid they might accidentally harm you.”

Xu Wendong quickly said: ”I will remember your advice, senior!”

Xue Mu said no more, turned around, and left the stone courtyard.

After Xue Mu left, Xu Wendong cautiously surveyed the surroundings. After confirming there were no potential threats, he sat cross-legged in the center of the courtyard, preparing to begin his cultivation.

The stone courtyard was tranquil, like a secluded paradise, with Xu Wendong resembling an ancient and mysterious stone statue, exuding a serene and profound aura, blending with the surrounding environment.

He gently closed his eyes, his mind gradually sinking into his body.

After entering the Netherworld Blood Pool, he not only survived with tenacious will and miraculous opportunities.

More importantly, he gained unexpected benefits from the ghosts wandering in the Blood Pool.

While absorbing those ghosts, the special energy contained within them surged like a tide, with one part trickling like a stream, nourishing his physical body, which continuously increased in strength, now reaching an entirely new realm.

His body seemed to have undergone a thousand trials in the great furnace of the world, every inch of skin as tough as divine iron, every muscle firm and strong, like the sturdiest armor, seemingly capable of resisting all attacks in the world.

Another part of the energy penetrated deep into his soul.

Making his already tough soul, under the nourishment of this energy, even more solid, as if building an indestructible fortress in the world of the soul.

Soul Force sparkled like bright starlight deep in his Sea of Consciousness, its glow more dazzling than before, with the range also further expanded.

He could clearly feel his mastery over Soul Force became more proficient and his perception greatly enhanced, as if he could discern the slightest spiritual energy fluctuations in the surrounding air.

This dual enhancement of soul and physical body greatly boosted Xu Wendong’s confidence.

”With my current strength, even without employing Dao Law, I can defeat experts at the Golden Immortal Realm.”

”Should I use Dao Law, along with the Taoist Scripture Fragment...”

”Even facing an Immortal King, I would have the power to battle.”

The journey with the Blood Clan yielded him great benefits.

However, upon recalling the feeling when Xue Shang used the Soul Searching Technique on him, a layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on his body: ”The strength of the Blood Clan Elders is too immense. Even with my current strength, it is difficult to resist their Soul Force!”

Dragon Soul’s voice echoed in Xu Wendong’s Sea of Consciousness: ”Do not underestimate the Blood Clan Elders, that old guy possesses Immortal Emperor level cultivation, his strength is formidable enough to slay gods.”

Xu Wendong inhaled sharply: ”What? The Blood Clan Elders have the power to slay gods?”

Dragon Soul slowly spoke: ”The cultivation of an Immortal Emperor level is already formidable, not to mention that opponent is from one of the Ancient Immortal Clans, slaying gods for him is not difficult.”

Xu Wendong, startled, swallowed: ”If an elder’s strength is so immense, how powerful must the Blood Clan’s Clan Leader be?”

Dragon Soul: ”I sensed the presence of three Immortal Venerable level experts!”

The depth of the Ancient Immortal Clan’s resources was indeed terrifying! Xu Wendong felt unsettled inside. He never expected that this seemingly small place hid three Immortal Venerate Realm super experts.

These are existences that stand at the Peak of Immortals!

Dragon Soul couldn’t help but sigh: ”The battle that year happened too suddenly, if the Twelve Ancient Immortal Clans had intervened, the outcome wouldn’t have been so tragic, and the fate of the Human Race would not be so dire.”

”And now, it will be up to you to find a way to invite the Twelve Ancient Immortal Clans.”

Xu Wendong nodded resolutely. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of faint footsteps coming from the entrance.

Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a graceful figure slowly approaching under the night sky.

And the moment he saw her, Xu Wendong’s pupils suddenly trembled, with a near suffocating illusion surging up in his heart...
