Chapter 299: Hun Clan Retreats! The Ling Clan Expresses Their Gratitude!
In an instant, Ling Yuan was rendered speechless by Hun Tiandi's remark.
Indeed!
In this world, weakness is a crime!
As the leader of a clan, she should have understood this a long time ago. The fact that her cultivation had not advanced in years gnawed at her mind.
With this thought, Ling Yuan bit her lip hard, drawing a trace of blood.
The massive black flame form of Nihility Devouring Flame swayed slightly, releasing a deep, chilling laugh.
It seemed like he could see through her thoughts.
"Heh, they're just ants. Dead or alive, it makes no difference. Living is just suffering."
His abyss-like black eyes gleamed with disdain as he spoke slowly.
These words pierced the hearts of every clan member like a dagger.
The previously calm Ling Clan members were once again engulfed in intense fury and sorrow.
With bloodshot eyes, they glared at the massive form of Nihility Devouring Flame, their gazes filled with flames of hatred.
Their loved ones and friends had just been brutally killed by this monster, and now they were being humiliated on top of that. The pain and anger were enough to burn away their sanity.
Ling Yuan's small body trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with a mix of sadness and anger.
As the leader, she felt the emotions of her people more deeply than anyone else. Seeing the heartbroken expressions of her clan, her heart ached as if it had been cut.
"Nihility Devouring Flame, we are now sworn enemies. As long as I live, I will see you destroyed!"
She took a deep breath, suppressing the rage within her, and looked directly at him, speaking each word with determination.
Though her voice was soft, each word was clear and resolute.
Her usually gentle eyes were now filled with a cold killing intent, as though she wished to freeze this demon.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Hahahaha..."
"Just the futile rage of the weak!"
However, he merely laughed, his voice eerie and terrifying.
"Today, if not for Gu Yuan's interference, you would have been wiped from existence. Where would you find the opportunity to speak now?"
His massive form swayed, and the black flames surrounding him roared, as if mocking their clan's powerlessness.
His words were like salt on a wound, reigniting their fury. Many members stared at him with eyes filled with burning hatred, wishing they could tear him apart.
However, they also knew that he spoke the truth.
Ling Yuan was startled at first but quickly caught on.
The Xiao Clan had been in decline for many years and couldn't protect the jade. The Gu Clan taking over was reasonable. However, the actions of the Hun Clan were unforgivable.
She understood this well.
Her words managed to silence Hun Tiandi for a moment.
Faced with Gu Yuan's intervention and the threat of the other clans, he had no choice but to
weigh the consequences carefully.
"Hmph, enough talk!"
After a moment, he snorted coldly, saying no more. He turned and left with Nihility
Devouring Flame and Hun Huzi.
In an instant, a black flash streaked through the sky.
Their figures disappeared.
With the Hun Clan's departure, peace finally returned to the realm.
Ling Yuan took a deep breath, then turned to face Gu Yuan and bowed deeply in gratitude.
"Thank you. Our clan will never forget your great kindness!"
Following her lead, all the Ling Clan members knelt and paid their respects to him.
"Thank you, Clan Leader Gu Yuan, for saving us!"
"There's no need for such formalities. If not for Gu Fei's message and the shattering of the
space jade slip, I wouldn't have arrived in time."
He responded humbly to their gratitude, not putting on airs.
Upon hearing him mention Gu Fei, her gaze shifted to him, appraising him.
"I've long heard of the Gu Clan young leader possessing extraordinary talent, and seeing you
today, you are indeed remarkable!"
Ling Yuan exclaimed in amazement.
This was not mere flattery towards him. She truly felt deeply shocked.
One must understand that she was several hundred years older than him, yet his cultivation
was on par with hers.
Such talent was truly a rarity in a million years, unheard of before!
