Chapter 1538: Confrontation (Part Two)

Seeing Li Yan fly back, Elder Hao finally let out a sigh of relief. In his agitation just now, he had failed to control the fluctuation of his aura, nearly causing a huge mistake.

If this avatar of the other party had disappeared, then the situation in this mountain cave would have been terrible.

Seeing Li Yan recover, he immediately pressed on with his question.

“Senior, I am a foreign soul cultivator!”

This time, Li Yan’s answer emphasized the last two words heavily.

As soon as Li Yan said this, he saw that the expressions of both Elder Hao and the returning Great Master Lan changed again. But this time, Elder Hao controlled his aura well and did not erupt again.

“You… you are a cultivator from the Hellsoul Clan?”

Elder Hao stared at Li Yan.

This time, his tone of voice was also equally slow.

After hearing Li Yan say this, although he had thrown out the Immortal-Seeking Lineage in the hope of hearing this result, his mind still shook violently like a turbulent river in this instant.

At the same time, a voice constantly echoed in his mind.

‘They really know about the Hellsoul Clan! They really know! Then what is the relationship between them and the Hellsoul Clan?’

This was also one of all the plans that Li Yan had considered. He would definitely find a time to confirm the relationship between the Soul-Suppression Palace and the Hellsoul Clan.

If he could confirm it, then he would have too much room to maneuver.

But he could not directly say the three words “Hellsoul Clan.” These two were old monsters who had lived for who knows how many years.

As soon as he asked, not only would they immediately guess that he was related to the Hellsoul Clan, but just by hearing the name, they would also be able to guess that this was a clan related to souls.

Then, regardless of whether they knew or not, and even in order to find out his origin, they would climb up this pole.

The final result would not be Li Yan confirming the relationship between the other party and the Hellsoul Clan, but the other party probing his background. So, of course, there had to be a technique to asking questions.

And Su Hong had once said that the Hellsoul Clan had some relationship with the Immortal-Seeking Lineage!

Although it was only from unofficial histories or hearsay, Li Yan felt that with the strength of Gui Qu Lai Xi, it should not be entirely chasing the wind and clutching at shadows.

If the Soul-Suppression Palace was really related to the Hellsoul Clan, then from the two statues in the Civil and Martial Hall, one could know that the statues were probably not obtained by force.

Then, the relationship between Li Yan and the Soul-Suppression Palace would be that of a friend, not an enemy. This was definitely good news for Li Yan.

The status of these two in the Soul-Suppression Palace was of utmost importance, especially that Elder Hao, as one of the strongest legacy cultivators of the sect.

The most core secret of the Soul-Suppression Palace, as long as there was a legacy record, there should be nothing he didn’t know.

And when the first-generation old Sect Master was looking for an exit, with his understanding of the various Perilous Lands, no one in the Earth-True Domain should know better than him how dangerous each entry would be.

As long as he was not a fool, he would of course leave behind the core legacy he knew. This was the most fundamental understanding of a sect’s legacy.

Li Yan took a deep breath before answering.

“Yes, but not entirely. I received the inheritance of the Martial General lineage. I don’t know why you have a situation like the Civil and Martial Hall here.”

As Li Yan spoke, he was also praying secretly in his heart. All this was his speculation; he hoped he hadn’t guessed wrong.

After he finished speaking, a light flashed in the eyes of both Elder Hao and Great Master Lan, and then the two of them looked at each other.

They actually saw something called pleasant surprise in each other’s eyes!

And this time, it was Great Master Lan who spoke.

“You… you are of the Martial General lineage? Then the reason you were able to cultivate the ‘Saintly Soul Transformation Art’ so quickly, is it because of this, that you obtained the complete cultivation method?”

When they heard Li Yan mention the Civil and Martial Hall, they knew that Li Yan had probably already guessed the origin of their sect through that place.

After Li Yan finished speaking, he was carefully observing the expressions of the two. This was already the biggest trump card in his plan.

If he could not succeed, he would have to use other plans to cooperate with the other party, but then his own life would not have much guarantee.

But the expressions of the two and the words that Great Master Lan said later, Li Yan was already pleasantly surprised in his heart. The other party’s expression did not seem to be fake.

Especially the question that Great Master Lan asked him back, it seemed that the reason he had been thinking hard about was indeed correct!

“Great Master Lan is right. It is precisely for this reason. I was originally missing the cultivation method for the two souls. And I also know about that formation, the Long Alley, but I just don’t know the refining method.”

“So, can Great Master Lan explain why you have that Martial General statue in your hands?”

After Great Master Lan heard what Li Yan said this time, the little bit of gloom that had remained on her face was completely gone, and a look of “as expected” appeared.

She was just saying that after this Li Yan appeared, the problems that the Soul-Suppression Palace had encountered began to go in another direction.

And how did he cultivate the “Saintly Soul Transformation Art” so quickly? At first, she thought he was really the “Heavenly Dao Constitution” that was most suitable for this cultivation method.

It turned out that the other party had obtained the complete cultivation method. No wonder.

Especially when Li Yan mentioned the Long Alley formation, Great Master Lan had once suspected whether Li Yan had seen it. Now that Li Yan had admitted it himself, she naturally began to believe it.

They already clearly knew what Li Yan wanted to express, which was that he was related to the Hellsoul Clan!

Hearing Li Yan’s counter-question, she knew that it was now Li Yan’s side that did not believe in her sect, because the other party said he had inherited the Martial General lineage, but why would they have the Civil and Martial Hall?

Elder Hao knew that Great Master Lan understood Li Yan better, so he did not interrupt at this time, only occasionally cooperating with Li Yan’s casual hand seal movements to draw away those spreading chaotic powers.

“Li Yan, since you have already entered the Soul-Suppression Palace, you naturally know some of our background, and you must have already had some guesses in your heart.”

“Now, you actually just need to know the reason!

“And before that, can you show the cultivation method for the extra five pos in the ‘Saintly Soul Transformation Art’ cultivation method? The Qi Condensation realm cultivation method is enough.”

At this time, Great Master Lan’s face had softened a lot, and her tone had also relaxed.

But Li Yan was used to being cautious and would not let his guard down because of this!

Before he truly got the answer he wanted, no matter how good the result of his speculation was, he would not easily believe others.

Great Master Lan was asking him to prove his identity first, but her request was not excessive. She only asked to see the complete Qi Condensation realm cultivation method of the “Saintly Soul Transformation Art.”

Li Yan did not waste any more words and immediately took out a Soul Slip. After just a little immersion of his soul power, he pushed the Soul Slip through the void towards Great Master Lan.

Great Master Lan acted quickly, grabbing it and immediately probing it with her soul power. And not long after, a trace of excitement appeared on her face.

Then she immediately presented the Soul Slip to Elder Hao, while her pair of purple eyes looked at Li Yan.

After Elder Hao’s soul power swept over it, with his and Great Master Lan’s cultivation, they could of course tell at a glance whether the cultivation method recorded inside was real or fake.

Elder Hao held the Soul Slip, and the joints of his hands had even turned a little white, making a creaking sound. Fortunately, he restrained his strength.

Otherwise, the Soul Slip in his hand would have already turned into nothingness at this moment.

When he spoke again, his voice was even a little trembling, and his tone had a strange sound.

“Li Yan, which lineage are you from? The First Great Ancestor’s, or the Second Great Ancestor’s?”
