This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

"So what you mean is...Along and I are being targeted?"

"That's right." Xuwu Tunyan nodded, "If I'm right, that person, or those people, should have come here."

"But don't worry about it. I told you to help them to the end. If they want to touch you and your brother, they have to kill me first. Although I don't think they have the ability to do that."

What Void Devouring Flame said was not bragging. The few people who could really kill him could be counted on one hand, and Void Devouring Flame knew very well that it would not be any of them.

"So you can relax and eat when you need to eat and sleep when you need to sleep."

"Mr. Xu Yan, why...why on earth are you trying to help us like this?"

"If I say that I'm a playboy with a lustful mind and I'm after your body, would you believe it?" Xuwu Tunyan gave an extremely humorous answer.

"I..." Lingjue instinctively shrank his body, and Linglong's expression also changed drastically, but Lingjue quickly realized that something was wrong. If the other party really had this idea, then how would he have the chance to say no.

"Hahaha, of course I'm just kidding."

Void Devouring Flame grinned at Ling Jue's uneasy look, "If I must say, it's just interesting. A pair of siblings with the surname [Ling], and soul imprints that are totally inconsistent with the average strength of this area, isn't this enough to arouse my interest?"

"You know about this surname?" Ling Jue's curiosity was aroused. "But I remember that A-Long and I were both orphans. And my adoptive parents told me that they found nothing else except a jade pendant with my and my brother's names engraved on it."

"I think I know a thing or two. But it's going to be a long story, so I'll just start with the simple stuff."

"Do you know Doudi?"

"Doudi? I've heard from others that they are said to have the ability to destroy the entire Douqi Continent with just a wave of their hands, but is that true? Isn't it something made up?"

"It's true. However, there are no Doudi in the entire Douqi Continent now. If we have to say there are, there are a few who are infinitely close to Doudi."

"The most interesting thing about reaching the Doudi level is that once a person reaches the Doudi level, all people who are related to him by blood will receive a huge benefit. Of course, if they are relatives beyond the fifth mourning period, they will probably only receive a little bit."

"Then this family is..."

"Congratulations, you can answer the questions quickly!" Xuwu Tunyan snapped his fingers. "It is precisely because of this mechanism that the strength of these families is very strong. The Dou Zong who is not good at either literature or martial arts is probably the same level as the menial disciples in these families."

"A-choo!" Ling Ying, who was far away on the other side, suddenly sneezed loudly for no reason.

"Because of this situation, their heads have been occupied by the so-called sense of superiority. They think that people outside are rubbish and they are unwilling to live in the same place with them. It just so happens that the Fighting Saints have the ability to open up independent spaces, so they all live in artificially opened spaces. Naturally, no one can find them, unless they can get their invitation letter, or..." Void Devouring Flame did not continue speaking, but showed a meaningful smile.

"There are currently seven such families, and they are all named after their own surnames. They are the Soul Clan, the Ancient Clan, the Medicine Clan, the Thunder Clan, the Flame Clan, the Spirit Clan, and the Stone Clan."

Taking into account some "historical issues", Xuwu Tunyan kicked the name of the Xiao clan out.

"You mean, A-Long and I might be from the spirit tribe?"

"It's just a possibility." Xuwu Tunyan didn't say anything definite. "After all, let alone surnames, there are countless people with the same name in the world, and it's not uncommon to have the same surname. If surnames can be used to establish kinship, then that Dan King Gu He and his brother Gu Te can go to the Gu Clan to recognize their relatives, right?"

"Oh……"

"Are you disappointed?" Void Devouring Flame jokingly asked.

“No.” Ling Jue shook his head. “Besides, even if I really am a spirit, I don’t plan to get close to them. We were raised by our adoptive parents and those kind neighbors. When we were in trouble, sick, or hungry, those people probably didn’t care about us at all.”

"What about you?" Xuwu Tunyan looked at Linglong.

Linglong thought for a while: "If, as you said, Mr. Xu Yan, they are all powerful, then if they wanted to find us, they should have come to find us a long time ago. I'm afraid they have already forgotten us."

"Well said. How can those who give birth to children but don't raise them be called parents? They are just biological parents."

Void Devouring Flame nodded and continued, "Although they are all of the same bloodline, there is no harmony within the ancient family. Talent, bloodline, strength, and almost every thing that can be compared form layers of solid barriers. There, the gap between people is greater than that between people and dogs. In a sense, they are more feudal than the imperial family."

Suddenly, Void Devouring Flame sensed something: "It seems that some people don't want me to continue saying bad things about them. There is no other way. The storytelling session can only be suspended for a while."

"Is someone coming?" Lingjue and Linglong looked around quickly, but there was no one around.

Xuwu Tunyan gently placed his hand on her shoulder, "Don't worry, you will see it soon."

"What? Now that we've come to this point, why don't you show your true identity? Two three-star fighting saints?"

Xuwu Tunyan's words were full of provocation, "I originally thought that only a Dou Zun or a half-saint would come, but I didn't expect a Dou Sheng to come. It's really a surprise."

As soon as he finished speaking, two figures appeared in front. They were Ling Ji and Ling Mie who had followed the clues and tracked them all the way here.

"I'm a little surprised that you came all the way here. I thought you would use some simple and crude methods, such as flattening this empire with a slap."

"It was you who removed the imprint of my soul?" Lingmie didn't care about Xuwu Tunyan's teasing. His eyes were fixed on Xuwu Tunyan. Just by looking at his eyes, one could feel his murderous intent.

"If I answer no, will you believe me? Don't you know the correct answer? If you have come all the way here just to ask this question, please go back. I still have stories to tell the children."

Xuwu Tunyan was teasing, but his hands were not idle. He used his amazing soul power and invisible strange fire fighting spirit to firmly protect Lingjue and Linglong beside him.

"You..." Lingmie was about to take action, but was stopped by Lingji.

"My friend, do you know the origins of the two children next to you?"

Xuwu Tunyan could naturally hear the hidden meaning in Lingji's words, but he didn't care: "You know, the older one is called Lingjue and the younger one is called Linglong. This pair of siblings have supported each other since they were young. It's so sad to hear about it and it makes people cry to see it. Even someone like me shed tears after hearing their story."

Ling Ji's face changed slightly. How could he not see that Void Devouring Flame was playing a trick on him? However, his reasoning overwhelmed his anger. "My friend was able to remove the soul imprint, so he must be quite powerful. He must have heard about the ancient family."

"Of course I've heard of it. I've even met them before. So what? Are you their family? No, shouldn't there be one man and one woman to recognize relatives? Why are there two men? Are you two going to perform some super-combination trick in front of me? Yue~"

Ling Mie who was standing by couldn't help it any longer: "Boy, you are too arrogant! My elder brother has already given you a chance to live, but you are so ungrateful. Then prepare to die!"

As he spoke, a powerful soul force emerged directly from the center of Lingmie's eyebrows, and like a sharp arrow, it pierced straight into Void Devouring Flame.

"What an unromantic guy." Void Devouring Flame didn't even move, and invisible flames gushed out from his whole body, gathering into an invisible fire dragon that rushed towards the soul arrow and directly swallowed it up.

"What, what's going on?" Lingmie was a little confused when he saw that the Void Devouring Flame in front of him was unharmed and didn't even move. Even if the other party was using soul power to resolve his attack, he should be able to feel the fluctuation of soul power. But the person in front of him didn't even mobilize his soul power just now. Or was it that the other party's soul strength was far above his own?

No, that's impossible, absolutely impossible.

“What are you surprised about?” Xuwu Tunyan looked at Lingmie with a smile, “That move just now was indeed quite powerful. If it was just an ordinary Dousheng, even if his soul wasn’t shattered on the spot, he would have fallen to the ground immediately. But, it doesn’t seem to pose any threat to me.”

"Okay, now that you've made your move, it's my turn now."
