Chapter 034: Discussing How to Save Gu Xun’er

Although there were only two rankings difference between them on the list of the Heavenly Flames, the gap between them was like heaven and earth.

While the Void Devouring Flame has transformed into a human form, Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame had not yet reached the level of a human spirit.

This is the difference between them!

Damn it!

How could the gap be so big between two Heavenly Flames with similar rankings? It was truly incomprehensible to the three immortals of the Gu clan.

However, their frustration did not last long, as Gu Yuan spoke up, "Although I was unable to enter the soul world, I can sense that Xun'er may be among the Soul clan."

"The feeling is faint, but it is real."

"The damn Soul clan, it must be their doing." Gu Xiu was angry and gnashed his teeth.

Gu Ling was also angry, "The Soul clan dared to violate the covenant! The Soul clan leader has gone too far. Let's gather the other ancient races to jointly punish the Soul clan!"

Void Devouring Flame had already recovered from his injuries and his strength had reached the level of a nine-star Dou Sheng.

Perhaps even Hun Tiandi had already regained his strength. With the current strength of the Soul clan, it was impossible for the Gu clan to retrieve Xun'er from their hands.

The only solution now was to unite with the other ancient races to attack the Soul clan.

Gu Dao stood up and shook his head, "It's a good idea to unite with the other ancient races to attack the Soul clan, but what reason do they have to ally with us, the Gu clan, to fight against the Soul clan?"

In fact, Gu Dao was also hopeful that the Gu clan could unite with the other ancient races to attack the Soul clan, but he knew that it was impossible.

This was a matter between the Gu and Soul clans, and what right did the other ancient races have to participate in it?

What could they bring to the table?

Moreover, it was not as if the Soul clan had threatened their interests.

The other ancient races might even hope for the Gu and Soul clans to fight to the death, just so that they could take advantage of the situation.

...

Gu Ling glared at Gu Dao and said, "What do you mean, Gu Dao? The Soul clan has violated the covenant of the eight ancient races. Can't our Gu clan gather the other ancient races to jointly punish them?"

Gu Dao replied, "You're thinking too optimistically, Gu Ling. Did you see the Soul clan violating the covenant, or did someone else see it? We have no evidence. What can we use to gather the other ancient races to jointly punish the Soul clan?"

Gu Ling was not convinced, "But the Soul clan has our Xun'er. They have attacked the Gu clan. Isn't that evidence?"

"In the covenant of the eight ancient races, it is clearly stated that no race can attack any other race."

"Those who violate the agreement will be punished together!"

Before Gu Dao had a chance to speak, Gu Xiu on the side spoke with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.

"Gu Ling, are you stupid? The agreement is something that the strong use to restrain the weak. The strength of the Soul Clan now almost surpasses that of the Gu Clan, towering over other ancient races. Do they still need to abide by the agreement?"

"Gu Xiu, do we just sit back and watch the Soul Clan violate the agreement? Don't forget, the covenant was jointly signed by the eight ancient races."

Gu Ling was not convinced.

Gu Xiu still had a slight curve at the corner of his mouth and said, "Gu Ling, sometimes when I say you are foolish, don't deny it. Don't forget that even the Xiao Clan, who once signed the covenant, was wiped out by the Soul Clan."

"Which other ancient races have supported them? The agreement? It's just temporary peace. Do you think you can achieve permanent peace just by relying on the agreement? No, you need fists!"

As he spoke, Gu Xiu even waved his fist at Gu Ling!

"Do we really have no other options? Do we just sit back and do nothing even though we know that Gu Xun'er is among the Soul Clan?"

Gu Ling said helplessly.

Gu Xiu said, "There is a way. The first option is for the Gu Clan to declare war on the Soul Clan and put pressure on them to send Gu Xun'er back."

Gu Ling sneered, "Send Gu Xun'er back? Do you think the Soul Clan is a soft persimmon? Now that the Soul Clan's Void Devouring Flame has broken through the nine-star Dou Sheng, coupled with Hun Tiandi, the four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan, and other powerful Soul Clan members, their strength far exceeds that of the Gu Clan. Is it possible for them to hand over someone just because we ask?"

"If we declare war, it's very likely that the Soul Clan will declare war as well, and the Gu Clan's chances of winning against the Soul Clan are not high."

Gu Xiu looked at Gu Ling and said, "So, you don't support going to war?"

"Right!" Gu Ling nodded and said to Gu Yuan, "Chief, let me make it clear first, I don't agree to go to war."

Gu Xiu smiled again. Gu Ling's disagreement with going to war was within his expectations.

Gu Xiu continued, "If you don't agree to go to war, then the only way to rescue Gu Xun'er is the second option."

"You can completely make the Soul Clan send Gu Xun'er back without a fight."

"Oh?" Gu Ling became interested when he heard this. "What's the solution?"

To be able to make the Soul Clan send Gu Xun'er back without a fight was exactly what Gu Ling wanted.

After all, the consequences of the two clans going to war were too great to imagine.

All for the sake of Gu Xun'er.

It was completely not worth it to go to war with the Soul Clan just for an immature Gu Xun'er.

Even if the Gu Clan won in the end, what good would it do?

The Gu Clan's title as the number one ancient race would also change hands, and of course, the Gu Clan's chances of winning against the Soul Clan were not great.

Therefore.

To put the Gu Clan in a war just for Gu Xun'er.

Gu Ling would never agree.

Gu Xiu spoke slowly, "In my opinion, the Soul Clan's kidnapping of Gu Xun'er is nothing more than wanting the Tuo She Ancient god's Jade from the Gu Clan. Giving the Tuo She Ancient god's Jade to the Soul Clan in exchange for Gu Xun'er is not a loss."

"What?"

Gu Ling was completely dumbfounded at his words and then angrily said, "Gu Xiu, are you stupid? The Tuo She Ancient god's Jade is the secret to becoming Dou Di. Are you dreaming of exchanging it for Gu Xun'er?"

Immediately he thought of something and hastily added, "I cannot agree to using the Tuo She Ancient god's Jade to exchange for Gu Xun'er."

What a joke!

All eight clans considered the Tuo She Ancient god's Jade an extremely important existence, almost like their own lives.

Letting Gu Xiu take it out to exchange for Gu Xun'er was simply impossible.

Gu Ling acknowledged that Gu Xun'er was the first divine-blooded person in the Gu Clan in thousands of years, with extraordinary future potential, and had a great chance of becoming a Dou Di in the future.

But don't forget.

Gu Xun'er hasn't fully grown yet.

Using the Tuo She Ancient god's Jade, which contains the secret to becoming a Dou Di, to exchange for Gu Xun'er is not appropriate in Gu Ling's view.

Gu Yuan, who was sitting high above, remained silent.

He knew it would be like this.

The voices of the Gu Clan were too many.

Gu Xiu wasn't surprised by Gu Ling's reaction. Everything was within his expectations.

What's there to be surprised about?

As one of the three Gu Clan Immortals, Gu Xiu knew Gu Ling very well.

This person was conservative and unwilling to give up anything.

But everything he did was for the Gu Clan.

Gu Ling's sincerity towards the Gu Clan was beyond doubt.
