In terms of the outcome, Ling Yuan was undoubtedly successful. The situation, which had initially put him at a disadvantage, was instantly reversed, and everyone's spirits were finally lifted. However, now that they were locked in a tug-of-war, Ling Yuan was unsure how to maintain control.
Fortunately, this place is the tribe's true stronghold, the place they depend on for survival, and behind them are countless tribespeople. Everyone still has a strong sense of purpose.
Ling Yuan also had another pillar in his heart: the Soul Clan, the number one power on the Dou Qi Continent. Although their blockade was formidable, it was ultimately time-limited. If this dragged on, the Soul Clan would eventually discover that something was amiss. Logically speaking, if this continued, they seemed to have the advantage.
However, Lingyuan still felt a deep unease in his heart, and this unease only intensified as time went on.
"No, we can't let this stalemate continue. We can't hold back any longer!"
After a struggle with his own thoughts, Ling Yuan made a decision. His previously complicated feelings instantly became firm, and his eyes regained their sharpness.
His battle aura, which was infinitely close to that of a Seven-Star Battle Saint, surged instantly, and he unleashed a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique, with sharp blades attacking down like a storm.
This sudden outburst caused both the Pill Tower Ancestor and Qing Lin to change their expressions. They tried their best to release their defenses, but even so, they were still blasted away by the attack Ling Yuan followed up with.
Having achieved a successful strike, Ling Yuan did not immediately pursue them, since he had not originally intended to target the two.
Instead, Ling Yuan crushed a jade slip in his hand and simultaneously cupped his hands towards the core area of the clan, sending a telepathic message: "Esteemed guests, the Spirit Clan is now facing a life-or-death crisis. We earnestly hope you will lend a helping hand!"
As soon as Ling Yuan finished speaking, as if in response, two auras at the Dou Sheng level rose up, both extremely powerful!
Elder Yao, who had been overseeing the entire battle from afar, watched Ling Yuan's actions and sensed the sudden aura of a Dou Sheng-level expert emanating from the core area of the clan. He muttered to himself, "As expected, it's them!"
Before the Alliance launched their surprise attack on the Eldar, they had made an overall prediction of the enemies they would face.
Besides the powerful members of the Spirit Clan's main force, there was another force they had already considered: the Soul Clan. No matter how weak the Spirit Clan appeared, they were still a family descended from a Dou Di (Battle Emperor) clan, and after surrendering to the Soul Clan, they would inevitably receive a certain degree of attention.
The presence of a certain number of Soul Clan powerhouses within the Spirit Clan's territory was something they had anticipated.
However, they couldn't accurately assess the specific strength of the Soul Clan's experts. After all, this concerned the initial agreement between the Spirit Clan and the Soul Clan, as well as the question of how many members of the Soul Clan were willing to station to guard the Spirit Clan given the current situation.
After Lingyuan took the initiative to request their assistance, the aura of the Soul Clan's powerful members was fully revealed. Yao Lao's precise soul perception accurately sensed the Soul Clan members and also discerned their strength.
"One is a peak four-star Dou Sheng, and the other is a mid-stage three-star Dou Sheng. This result is neither too good nor too bad."
There are only two truly powerful members of the Soul Clan present. Together, they cannot be said to have no influence on the current situation, nor can they be said to be able to completely change it.
The two Soul Clan Battle Saints were dressed in distinctive clan attire, surrounded by thick, viscous, and nauseating black mist, exuding an eerie and unpredictable aura. That feeling that disgusted everyone's soul was, in a sense, their signature characteristic.
Their appearance attracted the attention of everyone present. Of course, the vast majority of this attention was met with disgust.
The Alliance members naturally didn't want to see them appear, and the Spirit Clan members, upon seeing them, didn't feel much joy, but rather a sense of helplessness and suppressed anger. Surrendering to the Soul Clan did indeed solve the Spirit Clan's immediate crisis, but almost no Spirit Clan member could truly accept this fact from the bottom of their heart, so naturally, they harbored resentment towards the Soul Clan.
After the Soul Clan's four-star Dou Sheng peak expert appeared, he seemed to completely ignore all of this.
"Clan Chief Lingyuan, you should have let me take action sooner, then your losses wouldn't be as great as they are now."
Ling Yuan's heart was also filled with complex emotions upon seeing this person. If the Spirit Clan had the ability to deal with him, he really wouldn't want the Soul Clan to get involved. However, the situation was already extremely difficult, and Ling Yuan's tone carried a hint of pleading: "The villain came prepared and his momentum was fierce. He's not easy to deal with, otherwise I really wouldn't want to alarm you two."
The Soul Clan's three-star Dou Sheng also said, "It's not too late to summon us now."
The Soul Clan's four-star Dou Sheng powerhouse is named Soul Mang. His identity is somewhat special; he is a true member of the Soul Clan and has always remained with the clan, serving as the first deputy hall master under the Soul Hall Master.
Within the Soul Palace, if he wants to advance further, the only option is to become the Lord of the Soul Palace.
Unfortunately, he and the current Soul Hall Master are practically contemporaries, and with his talent falling far short, there is almost no possibility of him advancing any further.
At the same time, he himself was unwilling to return directly to the Soul Clan. After all, within the Soul Palace, he could be considered second only to the leader. However, his strength as a peak four-star Dou Sheng didn't even rank him in the top ten within the Soul Clan. If he returned, he would only become an ordinary elder. In terms of treatment and the level of importance he received, he was even inferior to Hun Feng, the current number one among the younger generation.
The surrender of the Spirit Clan to the Soul Clan was naturally an excellent opportunity for him. The Soul Clan had valued the Spirit Clan, but this value had diminished considerably since they actually obtained the Spirit Clan's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.
Within the Soul Clan, no truly powerful figure was willing to get involved in this matter. Furthermore, the situation on the continent had changed; the mistakes the Spirit Clan had made in the past were no longer considered of paramount importance. Since no one wanted to continue attacking the Spirit Clan, any assistance they received would be superfluous.
So, as the representative of the Soul Clan to come to the Spirit Clan, accept the Spirit Clan's surrender, the task of leading this family of Dou Di descendants ultimately fell to Soul Mang.
The previous clash between the Spirit Race and the Alliance had caused quite a stir, so Soul Radiance had naturally been observing it closely. Initially, Soul Radiance thought the Spirit Race could resolve this problem, but unexpectedly, as time went on, the Spirit Race gradually became bogged down in a stalemate, and even visibly found themselves at a disadvantage.
Then Lingyuan took the initiative to ask him, and of course, Hunmang himself was also willing to help.
One reason is that he wants to control the Spirit Race. The Spirit Race's level of recognition of him is quite important. Helping them get rid of the external enemy is naturally an excellent opportunity to win people's hearts and control the entire Spirit Race.
