Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 558

Even if Xiao Fan's true form were here, he wouldn't dare say he was absolutely certain of victory against these powerful members of the Devouring Spirit Clan, let alone "Qing Jue" now?

"No, if it's called a trial, there should be a way out, right?"

"Otherwise, how could one possibly pass the trial in such a certain death situation?"

Xiao Fan held Ding You in his arms, his expression calm.

He carefully observed his surroundings and began to think about how to break the deadlock.

Since it is related to the trial, if there is no way to break the deadlock in the end, then such a trial is completely meaningless, and how can it be completed?

Just then, the seven newly promoted Spirit Clan guards once again surrounded Xiao Fan, looking at the Spirit Devouring Clan experts who were eyeing them covetously.

Their faces showed grief, not for their own deaths, but for their inability to protect the saintess!

"What happened to the clan's powerful members? Why haven't reinforcements arrived yet?"

Among the guards, one of them spoke up in grief and indignation, unable to hold back his curses.

Upon hearing the other party's words, Xiao Fan instantly realized what was going on!

Yes, that's the biggest mistake!

Where is this place?

The Spirit Realm! The stronghold of the Spirit Race!

Putting aside the matter of the outer city deputy lord's betrayal, someone who can hold the position of outer city deputy lord must have an unquestionable level of loyalty.

This is just like the ancient city of the ancient tribes.

This is a transition between the ancient races and the Dou Qi Continent.

For those in charge of such places, loyalty is undoubtedly the first thing to consider!

Chapter 340 Rebellion Awakens

Thinking about this, Xiao Fan felt as if he had grasped a thread!

Take another step back!

Even if the deputy city lord really did betray us, how could the entire Spirit Realm really not notice that dozens of powerful members of the Devouring Spirit Clan had entered the Spirit Realm?

In such a place, even an unidentified powerful figure would likely be immediately detained by a powerful figure from the spirit realm, let alone the fact that the other party had brought in a whole group of people.

Moreover, after entering, they coincidentally found Ding You's location.

They directly breached the Saintess's Palace.

If Xiao Fan hadn't intervened, Ding You would have already perished at the hands of the Devouring Spirit Clan's experts within that courtyard.

Moreover...

In the spirit realm, Xiao Fan refused to believe that all the powerful figures had been so coincidentally held back by the enemy!

"So... there's a traitor among us?"

"wrong!"

Xiao Fan sensed the chaos in the distance; although there were still shouts of killing, it had subsided.

Clearly, apart from the group of powerful Devouring Spirit Clan members in front of them, the rebellions in other areas, even if not completely resolved, have been basically suppressed.

"Then there's only one goal left..."

Xiao Fan looked down at Ding You in his arms!

The enemy has only one goal: to kill Ding You!

Within the Spirit Clan, there were probably some who wanted to see this happen, which is why they took advantage of the Spirit Devouring Clan's invasion to conveniently allow Ding You's death, letting the Spirit Devouring Clan kill him.

Among the powerful members of the Spirit Clan present, many suddenly realized this possibility, and their faces turned extremely pale!

"This is impossible!"

Someone shouted loudly, then looked at the middle-aged woman leading the group, and asked in a trembling voice, "Aunt Qing, this...this is fake, isn't it?"

However, upon hearing the questions from the people behind her, Aunt Qing's face revealed a hint of bitterness.

She couldn't even imagine it.

Did my worries actually come true...?

"Elders and clan elders, the Holy Maiden became like this for the sake of the Spirit Clan!"

Aunt Qing's face showed grief. She looked up at the sky and shouted loudly, but it had no effect.

When the Holy Maiden suffered irreversible injuries, two voices emerged within the Spirit Race.

Ding You's soul was injured, and the damage he suffered was only possible because a powerful warrior from the Devouring Spirit Clan risked his life for that one chance to strike.

The opponent's methods were constantly devouring Ding You's soul.

Even though the Spirit Clan's grandmother and Tianchi worked together to treat her.

However, there was still no way to eradicate the Devouring Spirit Clan's aura from her soul.

All she could do was expend energy to strengthen Ding You's soul power, thus slowing down the rate at which the other party devoured her soul.

After all, it was an attack from a Dou Sheng powerhouse; ordinary methods simply couldn't cure it.

And the other party's purpose is also very simple.

Destroying this saintess, or... allowing the Spirit Clan to carve out a Dou Sheng powerhouse, can only forever serve as a supply station for Ding You, constantly injecting her soul power to fight against that force.

Even among the Spirit Race, many people have expressed their dissatisfaction with such a price.

After all, she's a saint...

There will always be a next one, and who knows, the next one might do a better job?

Moreover, it wasn't that they were unwilling to treat Ding You, but rather that the energy within Ding You's soul had completely spiraled out of control, making a cure impossible.

If there is a way, there is only one!

Sever Ding You's soul, stripping away the uncorrupted power of his soul.

But this process...

If one is not careful, the aura of the powerful Devouring Spirit Clan that Ding You's soul has tainted will also spread to another person.

In this way, not only will Ding You not be cured, but the powerful figure who intervened will also suffer the same fate.

According to calculations by the Eldar high command, the probability of ultimate success is less than one in ten thousand!

After all, it was the aura of a Dou Sheng powerhouse. Ordinary powerhouses simply couldn't stop it; once they made a move, they would inevitably be tainted by that aura.

Because of Ding You's strength, ordinary experts simply wouldn't be able to sever Ding You's soul, since the gap between their strength and Ding You's was too great!

To have a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) take action...

The Eldar dared not take that risk.

If we can't save Ding You and instead lose a Dou Sheng, then we'll have really lost out.

Moreover, even if Ding You's soul is eventually severed and he is saved, Ding You's future prospects... are already completely ruined.

Therefore, after so much consideration, the handling of Ding You within the Spirit Clan has been a subject of ongoing debate.

Before the final outcome was confirmed, the battle surrounding the Devouring Spirit Clan reached a fever pitch, prompting some powerful figures to rush to the battlefield.

Among the remaining powerful individuals, some began to have their own ideas.

They wanted to use the Devouring Spirit Clan to deal with the already crippled Holy Maiden.

"Haha, have you thought it through?"

The middle-aged leader of the Devouring Spirit Clan burst into laughter upon seeing the sorrow on the faces of the Spirit Clan guards.

"This is the Eldar? Their way of doing things is truly disgusting!"

The middle-aged man spoke coldly, then laughed, "The time has come. Let's send the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan on her way!"

The middle-aged man laughed heartily, and the powerful Devouring Spirit Clan member behind him also revealed a hint of arrogance.

His eyes were filled with disdain as he looked at the Spirit Clan members.

With such strength, if it weren't for the Ancient Clan, Xiao Clan, and Soul Clan holding them off, how could any other race possibly be a match for the Devouring Spirit Clan?

"Devouring Spirits Forever!"

The middle-aged man shouted, and the faces of the Devouring Spirit Clan members behind him lit up with fanaticism as they yelled back:

"Devouring Spirits Forever!"

Knowing the truth, Xiao Fan's perception of the Spirit Race diminished somewhat.

I couldn't help but think of Yueyao.

Thinking of the occasional flashes of sadness on Yueyao's face in Canaan Academy, Xiao Fan clenched his fists.

"The Spirit Race...you'd better not think this way!"

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Fan was about to make a move when he noticed Ding You in his arms suddenly struggling.

Xiao Fan lowered his head and met a pair of deep, dark eyes.

At this moment, Ding You was still clearly in the appearance of a little girl, but Xiao Fan could clearly feel a bone-chilling coldness emanating from her.
