"The Blood Clan is already wary of the current Nine-tail Clan. Now that Da Ying has taken the initiative to join them, they naturally hit it off." Miss Xiao's expression was solemn.
"If that's the case, it's indeed troublesome." Jian Wushuang nodded slightly. "Moreover, your goal is to kill Da Ying, while my goal is the Blood Clan Leader. If we deal with the two of them one by one, it's absolutely possible to kill them as long as Marquis Duan Yu's formation is completed. However, it's too difficult to deal with the two of them at the same time now that they've joined forces."
Jian Wushuang knew very well that if Da Ying and the Blood Clan hadn't joined forces previously, they could have killed them one by one with their strength and Marquis Duan Yu's Netherjade Pentakill Formation. However, if the two of them joined forces and attacked at the same time, their formation might not be enough.
After all, the Sinking Fire Demon Lord was powerful, but he wasn't absolutely confident that he could kill Da Ying alone, let alone the Blood Clan Leader who wasn't any weaker than Da Ying.
"There's no helping it. We can only wait. After all, the Xue clan and the Nine-tail clan have been fighting for so many years. Moreover, Da Ying was the clan leader of the Xue clan in the past. Under such circumstances, Da Ying and the Xue clan might not be able to truly let bygones be bygones. It might not be long before their alliance crumbles.
"Besides, even if they really let bygones be bygones, Da Ying and the Clan Leader of the Blood Clan can't stay together forever. We can wait. As long as they separate, we can immediately attack. We still have a chance to kill them," Jian Wushuang said.
"Yes, I think so too. I have already instructed the pawns in the Blood Clan to pay close attention to the movements of Da Ying and the Blood Clan Leader. Once they have a chance to separate, we will immediately take action," Miss Xiao added.
Jian Wushuang nodded slightly, but his heart was still heavy.
After all, if Da Ying really joined forces with the clan leader of the Blood Clan, it would indeed be much more difficult and unpredictable to kill them than before.
They could only wait for an opportunity.
Time passed, and another half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
In this half a month, the five Masters of the Law on Marquis Duan Yu's side had already mastered the Netherjade Pentakill Formation. Once it was used, even Sinking Fire Demon Lord would not be able to escape in a short time. Naturally, it would not be a problem to trap Da Ying, who was much weaker than Sinking Fire Demon Lord, or the Blood Kindred Clan Leader.
At the same time, Miss Xiao had also received news from the Blood Clan.
"The news has been confirmed. Da Ying has indeed joined forces with the Blood Clan. Moreover, in order to show her sincerity, Da Ying actually gave the Soul Devouring Pearl, the greatest treasure of our Nine-tailed Clan, to the Blood Clan. This made the Blood Clan completely accept her," Miss Xiao said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Jian Wushuang, the owner of the Axe One, the Marquis of Duan Yu, and the others present all had ugly expressions.
"Soul Devouring Pearl … This is a treasure that almost killed Sinking Fire. How could Da Ying be willing to give it away?" Jian Wushuang frowned.
"It's just a treasure. Moreover, it was originally left behind by the Nine-tailed Clan. Now that Da Ying is no longer the Clan Leader of the Nine-tailed Clan, of course she doesn't care about this treasure. However, the problem is that she relied on this treasure to gain the trust of the Blood Clan. She will completely join forces with the Blood Clan from now on," Miss Xiao said coldly.
"In addition, the people I left behind in the Blood Clan said that Da Ying immediately went into seclusion in the Blood Clan after gaining the trust of the Blood Clan. She also told the Blood Clan that she would be in seclusion for a longer time this time, seemingly to heal her injuries."
"Heal her injuries?" Jian Wushuang's expression changed, and he immediately looked at Sinking Fire Demon Lord. "Sinking Fire, did you cause serious injuries to Da Ying previously?"
"It's alright." Sinking Fire Demon Lord said flatly, "After I broke through, Da Ying took a direct hit from me. Her divine body was indeed severely injured, but because of the Immortal Body, she only lost part of her divine power. Perhaps after reaching her level, it will take some time for the divine power to be completely recovered. However, she won't go into seclusion to recover her divine power."
"If that's the case, why did she go into seclusion?" Jian Wushuang was puzzled.
"I understand now." Miss Xiao suddenly stood up and said, "If I'm not wrong, Da Ying is indeed injured. However, it's not the damage to her divine body or the consumption of her divine power, but the damage to her soul. This kind of damage is so severe that she must immediately go into seclusion to recover."
"Damage to her soul?" Jian Wushuang's expression changed. "You mean, when she guided the soul power of the Soul Devouring Pearl, she also suffered from the soul power?"
"That must be it." Miss Xiao nodded and said seriously, "I didn't know much about the Soul Devouring Pearl before. I've only heard of some of its uses. However, the Soul Devouring Pearl is one of the greatest killing moves of the Nine-tailed Clan. Moreover, the Clan Leaders of the Nine-tailed Clan have always made it clear that the Soul Devouring Pearl is not to be used unless the clan is on the brink of death!"
"But if it's only because using the Soul-Devouring Pearl will consume a large amount of Soul Energy that the Soul-Devouring Pearl has devoured over a long period of time, there's no need for such a restriction because the Soul-Devouring Pearl has already devoured a large amount of Soul Energy over a long period of time. Therefore, there's only one possibility. When activating the Soul Energy within the Soul-Devouring Pearl, the guide will also suffer from the backlash of this Soul Energy!"
"The more soul power one guides, the greater the backlash. This also explains why Da Ying did not guide all of the soul power in the Soul Devouring Pearl during the great battle. I'm afraid it's not that she didn't want to guide it, but she knew that the more she guided, the greater the damage to her soul. Therefore, she didn't dare to be so reckless!"
"Now that she has retreated to the Blood Clan in defeat, she naturally has to find a way to recover her soul immediately. Moreover, after using the Soul Devouring Pearl once, she clearly knows how terrifying the backlash of the Soul Devouring Pearl is. Therefore, she didn't dare to use it a second time. Therefore, she did not hesitate to give the Soul Devouring Pearl to the Blood Clan!"
"All of this makes sense!"
Upon hearing Miss Xiao's words, many of the powerhouses present suddenly understood.
"It seems like that's the case." Holy Star Sovereign Lord also stood up and said, "Although I don't know anything about the Soul Devouring Pearl, I more or less know a little about the soul. To guide such a large amount of soul power that doesn't belong to one's own to cause an impact on the opponent, of course one has to bear a great risk!"
