Chapter 150: Let's Bring Out the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade
🕑 Added 2023-07-09 16:36:40 +0000 UTCLei Ying was indignant. The ancient races had all decided to form an alliance without the Soul Clan, but now the Gu Clan stepped back and said they wouldn't join.
Wasn't this a slap in the face to these ancient races?
A resounding slap.
When they were thinking of causing trouble for the Soul Clan, they had already factored in the Gu Clan. Without the Gu Clan's participation, did they really think they could deal with the Soul Clan?
Cause trouble for the Soul Clan?
How was that possible?
They were nothing more than a bunch of insignificant people trying to cause trouble for the Soul Clan. It was undoubtedly a path to self-destruction!
Therefore, the Gu Clan must join this so-called alliance. If they didn't, they would have no hope or chance of confronting the Soul Clan.
...
Although Lei Ying was furious, he was helpless. Even if the Gu Clan didn't join, he couldn't do anything about it. If possible, he wanted to capture Gu Yuan and question him about why he didn't join their alliance.
Unfortunately, he simply didn't have the power to do so. Not only did he lack the power, but no one else present had that power either.
If they had that power, why would they need the Gu Clan and Gu Yuan to join them?
They would be capable of wiping out the Soul Clan on their own. Ultimately, it was because they were too weak.
The Clan Leader of the Yan Clan, Yan Jin, stood up and said, "Without the Gu Clan's participation, do you really think we can go to war with the Soul Clan? It's undoubtedly wishful thinking. Everyone, let's think about how to get the Gu Clan to join our alliance!"
"Our formation of an alliance may not have escaped the Soul Clan's notice. It's likely they already know. With the way the Soul Clan operates, if we dare to target them, they won't let us off easily."
Yan Jin also felt uncomfortable. The reason why the Yan Clan agreed to form this alliance was because they believed that the Gu Clan would definitely join them.
Then, led by the Gu Clan and Gu Yuan, they would gather the strength of all the ancient races and engage in a decisive battle against the Soul Clan.
Under the unity of many ancient races, the Soul Clan would be annihilated.
But...
Never in their wildest dreams did they expect the Gu Clan to deviate from the expected course!
The Gu Clan, who was supposed to join their alliance without hesitation, unexpectedly played it differently. They were caught off guard!
If they had known earlier that the Gu Clan wouldn't join them, why would the Yan Clan have joined this so-called alliance?
Sigh...
Not only Yan Jin, but others also had this thought. Now that the alliance had been formed, they had to shoot the arrow that was already on the bowstring.
In any case, they had to bring the Gu Clan and Gu Yuan into the alliance at all costs! Otherwise, how could they possibly be a match for the Soul Clan?
They were unworthy!
...
Yao Dan spoke up, "What can we do to get Gu Yuan to join the alliance? He announced that he's in seclusion, and the other elders of the Gu Clan are indifferent to this alliance! It's not easy to get the Gu Clan, and especially Gu Yuan, to join the alliance!"
There was a hint of helplessness and regret in Yao Dan's words.
If they had known earlier that the Gu Clan and Gu Yuan wouldn't join the alliance, why would the Yao Clan have gotten involved in this mess? It was all because they were too confident before.
They were confident that the Gu Clan and Gu Yuan would definitely join the alliance. After all, the Gu Clan had just been oppressed by the Soul Clan, and Gu Yuan's daughter was still held captive by them.
At this time, when there was an alliance to take revenge on the Soul Clan, the Gu Clan had no reason not to join.
...
Unfortunately, They were all too confident. Despite all the calculations, they couldn't calculate that the Gu Clan and Gu Yuan would never join the so-called alliance. This was their biggest miscalculation.
Not only did they miscalculate, but they also alerted the Soul Clan, making it very awkward.
...
After Yao Dan finished speaking, the other clan Leaders in the hall fell into silence, contemplating what they could bring forth to convince the Gu Clan, and specifically Gu Yuan, to join their alliance.
Their alliance couldn't be without the Gu Clan and Gu Yuan.
At this moment, when Yan Jin saw everyone remaining silent, he continued, "I know of something that, if presented, the Gu Clan and Gu Yuan will definitely join our alliance."
"It depends on whether any of you are willing to make sacrifices." After speaking, he looked around at the clan Leaders present!
"Hmm?"
The clan Leaders, who had been wearing mournful expressions, shimmered with light in their eyes upon hearing Yan Jin's words.
They all turned to look at Yan Jin.
Lei Ying, the Clan Leader of the Lei Clan, spoke, "Yan Jin, what good idea do you have? Just say it! No matter the cost, we have to bind the Gu Clan and Gu Yuan to our ship."
"Yes! Brother Yan, what good idea do you have? Speak up!" The other ancient race clan Leaders seemed to echo, eagerly anticipating Yan Jin's response.
They were really curious about Yan Jin's good idea. What would that something be?
After scanning the crowd, Yan Jin slowly spoke, "Actually... it's not that difficult to get the Gu Clan and Gu Yuan to join us.”
“As long as someone present is willing to make a sacrifice and bring out their clan's Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade, I believe the Gu Clan, and even Gu Yuan, will have no reason to refuse joining our alliance."
Boom!
After Yan Jin's words, it was like a moment of enlightenment for them. They felt as if the clouds had cleared, and the sun had appeared.
Yes!
The Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade!
Why hadn't they thought of it before?
If the Gu Clan, and even Gu Yuan, didn't join the alliance, it was because they didn't see any benefits. They just needed to offer them benefits, and the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade would be an excellent choice!
No one could resist the allure of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade because it contained the secret of becoming a Dou Di. The Gu Clan, and even Gu Yuan, would definitely not refuse the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade.
The solution was there.
But who would bring out the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade?
There were only eight pieces of Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade on the entire continent.
Each was held by one of the eight clans.
Ever since the fall of Xiao Xuan from the Xiao Clan, their whereabouts had been unknown.
Even the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade of the Xiao Clan was lost. Among the five clans present, each of them held a piece of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade.
Which clan would bring out the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade?
This was a question, a thought-provoking question.
The five of them looked at each other, but no one spoke.
In the end...
The gazes of Yan Jin, Lei Ying, and Yao Dan all fell upon the Clan Leaders of the Ling Clan and Shi Clan. Their intentions were evident. The Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade would come from one of these two clans.
Why should it come from one of these two clans? Because the Ling Clan and the Shi Clan were the weakest. In this world, strength was respected.
If not them, then who else would bring it out?
"This..."
Feeling the gazes of Lei Ying, Yan Jin, and Yao Dan, falling upon them, the Clan Leader of the Ling Clan and the Clan Leader of the Shi Clan exchanged a glance. They could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Both of them were smart individuals. It was impossible for someone who became a clan Leader to be a fool.
Lei Ying and the others' intentions were clear. They wanted one of the two clans to bring out the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade.
Lei Ying and the others didn't want to bring it out. Would they be willing to do so?
Clearly, they were not willing.
But...
They had no choice. They could only be chosen; they had no right to choose. After all, they were weak.
