Hun Tiandi, despite appearing indifferent, couldn't help but attach great importance to the presence of Gu Yuan, a peak-level Nine-Star Dou Sheng, within their Soul Clan.
As an enemy, his presence in their stronghold was a matter that couldn't be ignored.
If Gu Yuan were to go berserk, even if they managed to eventually suppress him, the Soul Clan would suffer heavy losses.
The destructive power of a peak-level Nine-Star Dou Sheng was unimaginable, and it would be extremely difficult to completely eliminate such a threat.
Hun Tiandi maintained his position in the Soul City, but Gu Yuan's arrival made it difficult for him to relax his guard.
He kept a constant watchful eye on Gu Yuan, as there was no one more suitable within the Soul Clan to handle the situation. The other Soul Clan powerhouses simply didn't possess enough strength.
Ideally, the best candidate to keep an eye on Gu Yuan would have been Void Devouring Flame.
Unfortunately, Hun Tiandi had already refined Void Devouring Flame. Now, Void Devouring Flame was fused with him, and even if he released it, its power hadn't fully returned to its peak.
Although the consumption of various different types of Heavenly Flames had significantly enhanced Void Devouring Flame's strength, there was still some distance to go before it could reach its peak.
To return to the level of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, Void Devouring Flame had two options: either diligently cultivate or devour more Heavenly Flames.
Devouring Heavenly Flames would be a quicker method relatively speaking.
Hun Tiandi also trying to devour Heavenly Flames as much as possible. By doing so, not only would Void Devouring Flame become stronger, but he, as its master, would also grow stronger.
Although he remained trapped at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng due to the lack of Heavenly Energy, as long as he accumulated enough and had access to Heavenly Energy in the future, it would be much easier for him to break through to the Dou Di level.
Unlike the original plan, there was no need to extract the power of the entire continent.
...
Gu Yuan and the three ancient clan immortals were assigned to a well-positioned mansion within the Soul Clan. There was no reason to embarrass the Gu Clan.
Even if Gu Yuan and the Gu clan were potential enemies, it didn't matter. As long as they came bearing gifts, they were considered guests. If they dared to cause trouble within the Soul Clan, they wouldn't gain any benefits.
The Soul Clan's stronghold was not only their base but also the safest place. Even if a peak-level Nine-Star Dou Sheng wanted to stir up trouble within the Soul Clan, they would have to think twice.
Hun Tu departed.
There were two Five-Star Dou Shengs secretly monitoring the situation here. Although it seemed unrealistic for two Five-Star Dou Shengs to keep an eye on three Seven-Star Dou Shengs and one peak-level Nine-Star Dou Sheng, it was the highest level of strength the Soul Clan could present.
The hidden forces of the Soul Clan had not been revealed and had always remained in the shadows. Their apparent strength was not much different from the Gu clan.
Deploying two Five-Star Dou Shengs to watch over Gu Yuan and the others was indeed a grand display.
However, expecting these two Five-Star Dou Shengs to truly monitor Gu Yuan and the others was unrealistic. Hun Tu understood that these two Five-Star Dou Shengs were merely for show.
To truly keep an eye on Gu Yuan, they had to rely on Hun Tiandi, the clan leader himself. Only Hun Tiandi could constantly monitor them within the entire Soul Clan.
...
In the living room, Gu Yuan and the three Gu clan immortals exchanged glances and shook their heads. Upon entering this mansion, they couldn't sense the presence of Gu Xun'er at all.
According to reason, Gu Xun'er was of the same bloodline and clan as them. Even if Hun Tiandi had sealed the divine bloodline within Gu Xun'er, there should be no way they wouldn't sense her presence when they were close by.
Especially for Gu Yuan, who was Gu Xun'er's father, it didn't matter if the three of them couldn't sense her, but Gu Yuan should have been able to sense her.
Now it seemed that they couldn't sense Gu Xun'er at all, not even Gu Yuan could sense her. This was truly strange.
"Could it be that Gu Xun'er is not within the Soul Clan?" such thoughts emerged in the minds of the three Gu clan immortals.
Gu Ling communicated through voice transmission and asked, "Clan Leader, could it be that Xun'er is not actually in the Soul Clan? Have we been deceived by Hun Tiandi all along?"
The other members of the Gu clan echoed their concerns.
Gu Xiu said, "Clan Leader, is it possible that we have been played by Hun Tiandi and the Soul Clan from the very beginning?"
Gu Yuan shook his head and said, "It's impossible. I understand Hun Tiandi. If Xun'er wasn't in their hands, he wouldn't dare to make demands."
"They dare to make demands, which means that Xun'er is within the Soul Clan. They must have hidden her somewhere that we can't find."
Gu Ling asked, "Then where could they have hidden her?"
Gu Yuan fell silent.
After a while, he said in a calm tone, "They must have hidden Xun'er in a place we currently can't find."
"Hun Tiandi is a formidable person. Since he can use Xun'er to threaten us, he would naturally ensure that she is well hidden and make sure we can't find her."
The three immortals of the Gu clan nodded in agreement.
Indeed, this made sense.
"Hmm?"
Gu Dao sensed something and immediately transmitted his voice, "Clan Leader, it seems that two Five-Star Dou Shengs have been keeping an eye on us."
Gu Yuan had yet to speak.
Gu Ling, however, disdainfully said, "They think they can keep an eye on us with just two Five-Star Dou Shengs? It's simply impossible."
Gu Yuan replied, "These two Five-Star Dou Shengs are just a front. The one truly keeping an eye on us is Hun Tiandi."
"I'll hold off Hun Tiandi, and you three find a way to sense where Xun'er is. Once you sense her whereabouts, don't act rashly. Make sure to inform me."
"Yes!"
...
As the wedding day approached, the entire Soul Realm became increasingly lively. More and more powerful individuals and factions arrived at the Soul Clan.
The Soul Realm had never been so bustling before!
To accommodate the influx of outsiders, the Soul Clan's Dou Sheng experts had even created a separate spatial world with bustling markets, courtyards, flowers, and mountains.
It was equipped with everything one could desire. Moreover, the Dou Qi in this space was much denser than that on the mainland where many superpowers resided.
Many long-time secluded experts made breakthroughs once they arrived in this space, taking advantage of the fortuitous opportunity.
Inside the Soul City of the Soul Clan, the days were bustling with activity, and even at night, the city was brightly lit, exuding an atmosphere of joy. The entire city was immersed in a sea of celebration.
...
Amidst this lively atmosphere, the wedding day drew near.
Hun Tiandi wore a magnificent red robe, exuding both joy and dignity. Beneath his refined and amiable demeanor, there was a hint of a commanding presence leaking out.
Xiao Yi Xian also wore a red gown, with a red cloth covering her head, adding to her innocent beauty.
Hun Tiandi held the hand of Xiao Yi Xian as they walked into the Soul Clan's grand hall. Today, the Soul Clan was exceptionally bustling.
Never before had it been so lively.
All the guests and powerful individuals of the Soul Clan understood that from this day forward, the fate of the Soul Clan would change. There would be an additional matriarch within the Soul Clan.
