In the Soul Realm, within Soul Emperor City, inside an elegant courtyard, Hun Xiao sat in a pavilion, drinking from a jar of wine.
Around the stone table sat three other people: Hun Qiu, dressed in black with an expressionless face; Hun Zhang, wearing deep purple clothes and grinning; and Hun Dan, shirtless with a giant sword on his back.
After finishing an entire jar, Hun Xiao casually tossed it behind her, where it shattered with a clatter. She wiped her mouth and reached for the dice on the table.
"Damn it, how am I losing again? Did you cheat? Let's go again!"
"It's just your bad luck," Hun Qiu said calmly.
Hun Zhang grinned and casually threw a number, then said to Hun Xiao, "Clan Leader asked me to hand over the promised Soul Hall to the Xiao Clan. They will send their most outstanding young people, so I've decided to bring our Soul Clan's most outstanding young people as well. You can all interact then."
"Soul Wind, Soul Jade, Hun Ya, and Hun Li will all go. You should come along too, little sister."
"The Xiao Clan's most outstanding young people?" Hun Xiao raised an eyebrow, and Xiao Yan's image involuntarily appeared in her mind.
She wondered how he would compare to that guy… she thought to herself.
Hun Xiao didn't ponder for too long before nodding, "Alright, I'll go. I'm quite interested in the Xiao Clan too."
Three days later, Hun Zhang brought Hun Xiao to the entrance of the Soul Realm.
At this moment, four young people were already waiting beneath the colossal spatial wormhole. They all wore black training clothes; since they were meeting allies, they didn't don their characteristic cloak-like black robes.
"Great Heavenly Reverence Hun Zhang." One of them respectfully saluted Hun Zhang, then shifted his gaze to Hun Xiao.
This person's face showed little emotion, neither joy nor sorrow, as if his facial muscles were stiff, somewhat similar to Hun Qiu, but he exuded an even more intense aura of madness.
Even more striking were his eyes, which were completely black, without any whites, like two black beads.
Under his gaze, Hun Xiao shrank her neck and couldn't help but take a step back. Then, feeling a bit embarrassed by her reaction, she stepped forward again, widening her eyes and staring back at him without blinking.
After he saluted, the other three also saluted Hun Zhang.
Even though all four of them were prodigies of the Soul Clan, the most outstanding among the younger generation, they dared not show the slightest disrespect in front of Hun Zhang, a powerful Elder.
Meeting Hun Xiao's gaze, the young man with pure black eyes pulled a stiff smile onto his face and greeted her proactively, "Hello, Young Clan Leader."
This young man was Soul Wind. Originally, the position of Young Clan Leader of the Soul Clan should have been his; even Soul Jade was slightly inferior to him.
However, because Hun Jing and "Xiao Chen" perished together, benefiting future generations, and coupled with Hun Zhang's intention to facilitate the marriage between Hun Xiao and Xiao Yan to form an alliance between the two clans, Soul Emperor, after consideration, directly gave the position of Young Clan Leader to Hun Xiao.
This was both an explanation to the deceased Hun Jing and a demonstration of the importance of the cooperation between the two clans to Clan Leader Xiao.
Since Clan Leader Xiao's son was the Young Clan Leader of the Xiao Clan, the person from their Soul Clan could not be of lesser status!
"Haha, hello everyone…" Hun Xiao gave a strained laugh. In front of Soul Wind and Soul Jade, she always felt a bit uncomfortable.
One of them was expressionless, and the other constantly wore a fake smile. She seriously suspected that if they found an opportunity, they would not hesitate to kill her.
Although their cultivation levels were not far apart, if it came to a real fight, she felt her chances of winning were not high.
Hun Zhang ignored the competitive glances between them and said with a light chuckle, "You all arrived quite early. Since everyone is here, let's depart."
He led them into the spatial wormhole, heading towards the Heavenly Hall within the Soul Hall.
Emerging from the other end of the spatial wormhole, Hun Xiao noticed that all the high-level combat power of the Soul Hall was gathered there—Soul Hall Master Soul Destruction Life, the Deputy Hall Master, and the Nine Great Heavenly Reverences.
Hun Zhang looked at Soul Destruction Life: "You worked so hard to establish the Soul Hall, and it finally developed to this extent, but now you have to cede it to others. What are your thoughts?"
Soul Destruction Life's hands were crossed and tucked into the wide sleeves of his black robe, and the corner of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly:
"The Soul Hall has always belonged to the clan; I have never regarded it as my own property… Since it is the Clan Leader's will, I only need to obey."
Hun Zhang opened his mouth, then suddenly closed it, his expression solemn as he looked forward: "They're here."
Hun Xiao and the others followed his gaze, only to see a crack several tens of meters long suddenly appear in the low sky not far from the ground. Four figures emerged from within, and a suffocating sense of pressure surged forth like a tidal wave.
Leading them was a young woman with very long, fair legs, who appeared to be only in her twenties, similar in age to Soul Wind and Soul Jade, yet she exuded a terrifying, chilling aura.
Seven Star Dou Saint!
And in the late stage!
Beside her, another seemingly younger maiden with a hint of Charm, and the young man following behind the long-legged woman, also had auras that reached the Seven Star Dou Saint level.
The last little girl, riding the Amethyst Winged Lion King, was slightly weaker but was also a Six Star Dou Saint!
Hun Zhang's expression froze… Was this what Clan Leader Xiao meant by the Xiao Clan's outstanding young generation?
Soul Wind and Soul Jade's expressions also faltered, revealing surprise and bewilderment.
Hun Xiao poked Hun Zhang's waist with her index finger: "Brother, you said we should interact with the Xiao Clan's young generation?
"How are we supposed to interact? Did you misunderstand something? Perhaps Father meant you, Hun Qiu, and Hun Dan by 'young generation'…"
Hun Zhang controlled his expression, slightly calmed himself, then stepped forward: "You must be the friends from the Xiao Clan responsible for this handover. I didn't expect such a beautiful lady to come…"
"Hello, I am Hun Zhang… May I ask your age, Miss, and if you are married? Would you consider me?"
Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow, suppressing the urge to kick this somewhat frivolous fellow with her long leg, and replied indifferently, "I'm only in my twenties. I'm not interested in old men like you, who clearly look over a hundred."
Hun Xiao covered her mouth, trying hard not to laugh out loud.
Hun Zhang clutched his chest and said dramatically, "That's truly heartbreaking. Don't be so heartless; give me a chance to pursue you."
Xiao Ning stepped forward, blocking him from Xiao Yu: "Old man, don't even think about my sister."
"Alright, alright, I won't pick a thorny rose; I'm afraid of getting hurt." Hun Zhang raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, took a few steps back, then said, "Let's get down to business."
He gave Soul Destruction Life a look, who then took out a scroll and unrolled it.
Hun Zhang cleared his throat, his tone becoming serious: "These are the locations of the Soul Halls that our Clan Leader and Clan Leader Xiao agreed to hand over. We haven't moved anything inside the Soul Hall; all facilities are preserved.
"Furthermore, the souls of your clansmen are within this Heavenly Hall. After the handover is complete, you can release them yourselves."
The soul origins that had not yet been moved out of the Soul Hall were also part of the scope to be handed over to the Xiao Clan. Clan Leader Xiao's reason was that those weakened Xiao Clan souls needed to be strengthened, otherwise, if their souls were too weak, it would affect their resurrection.
Soul Emperor did not dwell on this matter and readily agreed. For him, obtaining the ancient jade and bringing the Xiao Clan from the shadows into the light was the most important thing. Moreover, Clan Leader Xiao actively requested to become the Soul Hall Master, which was a move to tie the Xiao Clan to the Soul Clan's war chariot and a display of the other party's sincerity in cooperation.
Xiao Yu glanced at the scroll several times, confirmed its accuracy, then nodded and took an ancient jade from her space ring, tossing it to the other party.
Hun Zhang took the ancient jade, a smile playing on his face. He looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Pleasure working with you… Finally, could you tell me your name?"
"Xiao Yu, my name is Xiao Yu," Xiao Yu replied.
