Chapter 2961: A Small Lake!

The Indestructible Soul Domain, Central Soul Domain!

A group of scattered remnants gathered together, their expressions extremely grim.

Several top-tier sovereigns, their soul bodies now dim and nearly dissipated.

To escape, they had paid a heavy price.

The Northern Soul Domain's ancestor, Lord Wuwen, to cover the others' retreat, single-handedly held off three sovereigns and died on the spot!

At this moment, in the hall of the Central Soul Domain, the atmosphere was oppressive to the extreme.

"Old Yutian hasn't returned yet; it's likely a bad omen!" said the Southern Soul Domain's ancestor, Lord Zhizhen, with a heavy face.

"Alas, old Wuwen... just gone like that! Old Yutian and the Indestructible Ancestor are missing, unknown alive or dead. Our Niehun Clan has truly encountered a great crisis this time! If old Yutian is also dead, then the three of us truly don't know where to go!" lamented the Western Soul Domain's old crone, Lord Ximian, in sorrow.

Ancestor Wangning said nothing, but his face was equally grim.

Suddenly, the void trembled, and a figure crashed down!

"Old Yutian!" The three sovereigns were overjoyed to see the arrival.

This falling figure was none other than Lord Yutian, returning severely wounded!

At this moment, Lord Yutian was in a miserable state, his soul body incomplete—one could even call it a remnant soul.

"Old Yutian, are you alright?" asked Lord Zhizhen with concern.

Yet on Lord Yutian's face, there was no sign of dejection; instead, it was full of excitement.

Zhizhen and the others exchanged glances, thinking to themselves, could this old fellow have been beaten silly?

We're all in such a miserable state, and you still have the mind to laugh?

"I'm fine, won't die! Hahaha... exhilarating!" Yutian laughed heartily.

The three were utterly baffled, not knowing what he was so happily laughing about.

Old Wuwen is dead, everyone is severely injured—shouldn't you be showing some pessimism?

"Old Yutian, have you been beaten silly? Our Niehun Clan faces the greatest crisis in history, and you still have the mind to laugh?" said Ximian, her face dark.

Yutian laughed: "Why shouldn't I laugh? Those bastards Xue Shang and Jun Yi schemed with all their might to wipe us out in one fell swoop! In the end, they lost more than they gained, with heavier casualties than ours. Tell me, shouldn't I laugh? Those three old things spent who knows how much effort on this setup, and now it's all for nothing! Tell me, shouldn't I laugh? Hahaha..."

The three exchanged glances, once again baffled.

They were certain—this fellow had been beaten silly!

"Enough! Stop laughing! Old Wuwen is dead. Which eye of yours sees that their casualties are greater than ours?" Ximian scolded.

Yutian grinned slyly: "We lost one top-tier sovereign, and they lost one too! But the two who were chasing Ye Yuan and Yun Ni are both dead! Tell me, am I not thrilled?"

This battle had been suffocating for Yutian.

The three clans joining forces against the Niehun Clan was too covert, too despicable, leaving Yutian with a pent-up anger in his chest.

But when he passed by the place where Wu Jia and Lü had fallen, he sensed it!

At that time, however, Xue Shang was hot on his heels, so he dared not stop.

But at that moment, he felt a sense of relief!

Now that he had escaped, he could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

Ximian and the others, upon hearing this, did not laugh but instead looked puzzled.

"Are you sure both of them are dead?" asked Wangning, frowning.

He, too, thought Yutian had been beaten silly.

How could two little brats kill two sovereigns?

Yutian's face darkened, and he said angrily: "Do you really think I'm stupid? The fluctuation of a sovereign's fall is so strong—can't I sense it? Those two are indeed dead! Hey, if old Xue Shang hadn't stopped to check, I might not have been able to escape!"

This time, the three were shocked.

"How is that possible?" said Wangning.

Yutian snorted: "Although I don't know how it happened, it's true that those two sovereigns died! Including the two we killed, they've lost four sovereigns in total! In this battle, we've come out ahead! The fall of two sovereigns can't be hidden; news will come soon! Then you'll know!"

Wangning and the others found it utterly unbelievable—could it be that in this desperate encirclement, their side had actually gained the upper hand?

If what Yutian said was true, then they really should be laughing heartily.

Before long, this great battle shook the entire Void Yueheng Heaven!

The three clans had actually joined forces against the Indestructible Soul Domain!

This news was earth-shattering!

But even more shocking was that the three clans, in their joint siege of the Niehun Clan sovereigns, had suffered heavier casualties than the Niehun Clan!

For a time, the entire Void Yueheng Heaven was in turmoil.

...

"It's here. The aura of the dense soul body disappears into this small lake. If I'm not mistaken, the Indestructible Ancestor has entered the lake," said Ye Yuan, pointing to a small lake ahead.

He and Yun Ni had tracked all the way, spending a month to reach this small lake.

This small lake was located in the heart of the Qi Soul Clan, appearing very inconspicuous.

Yun Ni frowned: "Are you sure you're not lying to me? There's no trace of battle here at all!"

At the sovereign level, especially battles among supreme sovereigns, would be earth-shattering.

If the Indestructible Ancestor were really here, she couldn't possibly not sense it.

Ye Yuan smiled: "Your Cloud Dream Soul Body is extremely powerful, but the one who set up this illusion has reached the pinnacle of formation mastery! It's normal that you can't see through it."

Yun Ni was somewhat annoyed—this guy was only a Diyuntian, but his cocky attitude was really irritating!

However, she truly hadn't noticed any illusion here.

"You mean someone is guarding here?" said Yun Ni.

Ye Yuan nodded: "Only one person! But with this person stationed here, it's probably worth a hundred. I didn't expect a human sovereign to stoop to being a lackey!"

Although Yun Ni was skeptical, she knew the matter was of great importance.

When the situation was unclear, she decided to trust Ye Yuan.

Otherwise, if something went wrong, both their lives would be forfeit.

"So what should we do now?" said Yun Ni.

Ye Yuan smiled: "With the two of us joining forces, what's a sovereign to fear? You spread your dream realm to cover this lake. We'll just swagger in!"

Thus, a dream realm quietly covered the lake, and the two stealthily approached.

Yun Ni was surprised to find that Ye Yuan's path was extremely peculiar.

Sometimes forward, sometimes backward, circling around as if walking through a maze.

Suddenly, Yun Ni's pupils contracted!

An old man sat silently on the lake's surface, eyes closed in meditation.

A sovereign-level powerhouse!

Before this, she hadn't sensed him at all!

Yun Ni knew that Ye Yuan was right after all!

In this inconspicuous place, having a sovereign set up an illusion to guard it—there must be a huge secret here!
