Chapter 193: Good News?
🕑 Added 2023-07-31 17:48:18 +0000 UTC[T/N: Just after reading this whole chapter, I realized the mistake in the last chapter's translation. The visitor from the Soul Clan is not the Hall Chief, Hun Mie Sheng, but rather Hun Tu, one of the four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan. I apologize for the error in the previous chapter's translation.]
The news had reached the clan leader's ears, no wonder why Elder Hun Tu appeared here. They must be extremely disappointed in them!
It's terrifying to even think about!
They also wanted to take down the Abyssal Snake Mountain, but the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan has their protective clan formation activated.
Their lineup was indeed stronger than the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan, but with the protective clan formation, they couldn't make any progress for the time being.
They were also helpless.
If the Hall Chief was here, taking down the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan wouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately, the Hall Chief was busy with other important matters.
This...
...
Hun Tu didn't want to waste time with a group of useless people here. He said in a deep voice, "Get up! Gather all the Soul Hall's experts and follow me to meet the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan."
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Hun Tu's call, Hun Douluo didn't hesitate and immediately stepped forward.
"Go..."
Hun Tu said, "Deliver a message, mention my name, I hope that Yao Xiao Tian will be a little smarter. Our Soul Clan has always valued peace. If there's a way to avoid a fight, we'll avoid it. If he is wise, he should know what to do."
"If he refuses, let him know the consequences!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Hun Douluo immediately understood what he needed to do and headed towards the protective clan formation below.
...
Inside the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan-
In the grand palace-
Yao Xiao Tian and the other experts of the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan, as well as the experts from the affiliated forces who came to support them, were all present.
The atmosphere in the hall was heavy!
Everyone's faces were filled with seriousness, and no one spoke. Each of them understood the current situation of the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan.
Outside-
The Soul Hall showed no signs of retreating, and the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan could only stay within the protective clan formation!
If it weren't for the protective clan formation, the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan would have fallen long ago.
And...
Yao Xiao Tian also sought help from the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, which is one of the three great supreme Beast clans, hoping for reinforcements.
But the person they sent hasn't returned yet.
Normally, the person should have arrived by now. The lack of news might indicate that things are looking grim.
There was no need to have high hopes for the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan's support at this point.
The situation of the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan was extremely difficult. They could only huddle inside their protective clan formation. At this rate, the protective clan formation would be breached one day.
To be honest, Yao Xiao Tian was already regretting his actions. If he had known that this was going to happen, he wouldn't have been so arrogant.
Now, he regretted being arrogant. The cost of this arrogance was too great, to the point where Yao Xiao Tian, as the leader of the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan, was finding it difficult to bear.
Yao Xiao Tian never expected that the Soul Hall would be so serious this time, attacking without any negotiation.
At the moment the battle broke out, Yao Xiao Tian regretted it and understood that he had no choice.
...
The affiliated forces of the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan also saw the current situation of the Nine Serene Ground Python.
As they say, a wise person knows the time.
These affiliated forces' experts had already begun to consider their options. After all, might makes right, and they needed to act accordingly.
...
"Report..."
In the oppressive hall, a voice finally broke the silence. It was an expert from the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan.
At a very fast speed, he appeared in the hall.
Upon hearing this, Yao Xiao Tian couldn't sit still. Every piece of news had been tormenting him, and he hoped that this time it would be a piece of good news.
He missed the old days!
Yao Xiao Tian spoke in a deep voice, "What news from the frontlines?"
"Reporting to the clan leader."
"It's good news."
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Xiao Tian's eyes lit up, and he regained some of his spirit. Not just him, but many experts in the hall also showed signs of excitement, their spirits lifted.
Yao Xiao Tian hurriedly asked, "What's the good news? Could it be that the Soul Hall's people have retreated?"
In Yao Xiao Tian's view, the only good news would be if the Hall's people had withdrawn. That, to him, would be the best news.
The experts in the hall were also pleased. They looked at the messenger; if the Soul Hall's experts had withdrawn, it would indeed be good news, a tremendous piece of good news.
Yao Xiao Tian and the other experts were excited and relieved. The haze that had been pressing on their hearts was finally dispersing.
"This..."
The messenger, seeing the excitement of the clan leader and the other experts, didn't know how to speak for a moment.
Because the "good news" he had to report seemed to be different from what the clan leader and others had imagined.
Seeing the clan leader and the others so excited and happy, if he were to speak, would it dampen their spirits?
So, for a moment, he hesitated. Should he speak or not?
...
Yao Xiao Tian, noticing the messenger's hesitation, frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter? Is there something you're not comfortable saying?"
"No..."
Finally, the messenger braced himself and said, "Reporting to the clan leader, the Hall's experts said that a high-ranking member of the Soul Clan has arrived at the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan's territory. They hope to meet with the clan leader to discuss some matters."
"What?"
Yao Xiao Tian was dumbfounded upon hearing this. It was not at all what he had imagined as good news.
Just this?
Was this considered good news?
Was the messenger serious?
He didn't consider this to be good news at all. If the Soul Clan's powerful figures were coming, it meant that the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan was in dire straits.
Before, Yao Xiao Tian had been curious.
How could the mere Soul Hall dare to cause trouble for the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan?
Now he understood.
Completely understood.
It turned out to be the Soul Clan behind all of this. No wonder the Soul Hall went mad and wanted to attack the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan at all cost.
Damn it...
All of this was orchestrated by the Soul Clan.
If he had known that his opponents were the Soul Clan, not just the Soul Hall, he might have surrendered without a fight.
In the end, it was his carelessness!
