Chapter 240 The Golden Clan

In the original novel, the Ancient Golden Emperor was extremely good at forbearance. It was not until the late years of Ye Fan's second life after he became emperor that he struck out with the golden mace.

Even when his own daughter was killed by Ye Fan, he remained indifferent.

Of course, he eventually died at the hands of Ye Fan, the protagonist.

Chai Xin knew better than anyone that this supreme being was not really dead, but was hiding in a life forbidden zone, waiting for the opportunity to become an immortal.

Now that he was carrying the supreme calamity to target the Golden Clan, he was naturally afraid of it in his heart, but he did not hesitate at all.

The so-called things that should be done should be done even if you know they are impossible. This is the only choice for those who seek the Tao.

But this is not reckless, it is indeed well considered.

The Golden Ancient Emperor once said in the original novel: "This world is just a small chess game. What do family affection and blood relationship mean?"

For such people, apart from their own pursuit of the great way, the so-called inheritance and ethnicity are not worth mentioning at all.

Therefore, using the Golden Tribe as a breakthrough point is not a rash act.

The Ancient Golden Emperor endured endless years in order to attain enlightenment and become an immortal, which was the only and highest pursuit in his heart.

For the Supreme Being who holds this idea, he will never give up the grand plan that he has adhered to for hundreds of millions of years just for the lives of a few of his clansmen.

Moreover, for the current human race and the major ancient clans that have come into the world, attacking such an ancient royal family without any scruples also has extremely extraordinary significance.

Chai Xin even dared to retaliate against such a great family that once produced an ancient emperor, let alone other ancient families?

As early as when he was hunting down the three ancient holy kings, Chai Xin had already made up his mind and was determined to take action against the Golden Clan behind them.

The Golden Clan is located on the northern border of the Eastern Wilderness, in a vast plain near the Northern Plains.

The plains covering tens of thousands of miles are dotted with rivers and mountains. It is completely different from the desolation and barrenness of other places in the Northern Territory. It is not only overflowing with spiritual energy, but also has continuous oases, full of infinite vitality.

As early as in the ancient times, when the Golden Ancient Emperor led his tribe to the Big Dipper Star Region, he chose this place as the tribe’s eternal home.

Although the Golden Clan has been sleeping for endless years, it has left behind a branch of descendants with its blood - the Golden Family.

The Golden Family was originally a part of the Eastern Wilderness, but after experiencing many years of changes, they slowly moved their main body to the Northern Plains.

However, even so, they still left some of their strength to guard this legendary ancestral land.

Ever since the awakening of all races, the first core member of the Golden Clan returned from the seal, and this place was once again designated as their territory, and no outsiders were allowed to interfere.

As the Golden Clan awakened one after another in recent years, this place has gradually regained some of its ancient splendor.

Although it is still far from being comparable to its most powerful time, it is still enough to become a major force in the current Beidou, and is in no way inferior to any other holy land.

Moreover, it is a holy place founded by the Supreme Being and possesses supreme weapons!

In fact, because there were many powerful people in the ancient times, and there were many saints and saint kings among the revived people, the strength and prestige of the Golden Clan had surpassed many of the originally famous ancient families and holy places in a short period of time.

After all, although the ancient families and holy places are powerful, the strongest people in the open are only Saint Lord-level figures.

Even if a few Kings of the Way of Slaying appear occasionally, their number and scale are far from comparable to ancient royal families like the Golden Clan.

At this time, the top powerful men of the Golden Clan had already united with the powerful men of the major ancient clans, and even took away the ancient imperial weapon, the Golden Mace, to demonstrate to the ancient human family.

Because of this, although there are still many strong people in the clan, and even some at the Saint King level, for Chai Xin today, the word "empty" can still be described.

Golden Tribe, Temple.

This is a grand, magnificent palace, surrounded by countless rolling fairy mountains and the palaces located on them, as if it is the palace of the legendary Emperor of Heaven.

Even for the orthodox Golden Clan members, it is not easy to enter this place.

This place not only enshrines the spirit tablet of the Ancient Golden Emperor, but also has the tablets of countless sages of the Golden Clan stored here, to be worshipped forever by the descendants of the clan.

In addition, not far from the grand incense hall, there is a side hall that does not contain any offerings, but does store pieces of fluorescent jade.

These jades are not particularly precious treasures or rarities, but they are guarded by dedicated personnel all year round and are always under the watchful eye of the people.

The reason for this is that these jades contain the soul imprints of all the pure-blooded members of the Golden Clan today!
In other words, these pieces of jade symbolize the lives of each member of the Golden Clan.

Unless the member represented by the jade is dead, even if there is still a trace of soul left, it will remain intact and have a faint glow.

But at this moment, on a divine platform very close to the center of the hall, a jade stone that had been shining brightly suddenly dimmed, and all its light disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Before the person guarding the jade could react, the jade made a slight "crack" sound, and countless fine cracks appeared on the surface. Finally, it completely shattered into countless tiny fragments, without any brilliance or spiritual charm.

The members of the Golden Tribe who were guarding these soul jades were stunned for a moment, and before they could react, a chill ran up their spine and rushed straight to the top of their heads.

"That...that's the area where the Saint King Ancestor's soul stone is stored!"

A member of the Golden Tribe looked at the jade that was almost broken into powder and spoke stutteringly, his tone full of disbelief.

The other person also had a dazed look on his face, and said in a trembling voice with great horror: "And he is a Saint King ancestor with extremely high cultivation... How is this possible?"

The two of them swallowed involuntarily and felt their throats were drier than ever before. After looking at each other, they quickly rushed to the altar where the jade was.

When they got closer and saw the words "Shi Yan" engraved on the altar, they were both struck by lightning and their breathing almost stopped.

"Oh my God, how is this possible?!"

“It’s actually Ancestor Lion Yan. He is an almighty being who once entered the realm of Great Saint… Oh no, hurry up and report to the Elders’ Council!”

After a brief moment of shock, the two of them turned into a gust of wind almost at the same time, not even caring about their own accusations, and rushed out of the hall for their lives.

"What did you say? Old Twelve's Soul Stone was shattered?!"

Deep within the Golden Clan, from a simple and unpretentious cave, a low and surprised shout was heard.

This is the place of seclusion for all the saints and above in the tribe. Normally, ordinary people are strictly forbidden to approach, let alone set foot in it.

"It's absolutely true, I dare not lie!" "We saw this with our own eyes, there is no way it can be wrong!"

Two figures were kneeling outside the cave. Even though they had the ultimate level of cultivation, their bodies were shaking slightly uncontrollably. They were frightened by the few wisps of aura that leaked out inadvertently from the cave.

"Got it. This matter must not be leaked, otherwise you two will be beheaded!"

There was silence in the cave for a moment before the voice sounded again, and the mood became extremely indifferent.

"Don't dare!"

The two guys guarding the soul stone felt as if they had been pardoned. Upon hearing this, they kowtowed hurriedly and then left quickly.

In the cave, several figures were sitting cross-legged in one place. All of them were tall and strong. Although their appearances were different, their temperaments were exactly the same as that of the Lion-Faced Saint King.

Some of them have human bodies with tiger heads, some have human bodies with ox heads, some have human bodies with dragon heads, and some even look like complete animals. However, all of them have deep eyes, deep and solemn aura, and contain unfathomable power in their bodies.

"Shi Yan went there to kill a young talent of the human race, but was stopped by the White-robed God King of the Jiang family. Could it be Jiang Taixu..."

An old man with a dragon head and a human body, who was guarded by the crowd, spoke slowly. His tone was full of suspicion and shock, as well as undisguised murderous intent.

"How is it possible? Not to mention that Jiang Taixu has not yet reached the level of the Invincible Saint King, it is impossible for him to defeat Shi Yan... Just to say that there are seven high-level Saint Kings sent to assist Shi Yan this time! How could a top Saint King leading seven high-level Saint Kings not be able to kill a rising star, Jiang Taixu?"

This time, when targeting the human race, it was a joint decision of many ancient races. They certainly knew the specific lineup of each action.

"That's right. With Uncle Yan's strength, even if Jiang Taixu has a hidden trump card and cannot defeat him, he will definitely not die!"

"If all twelve brothers of the clan are killed, then the other seven high-level saint kings sent by the other clans to cooperate will also..."

"No matter what, the members of my Golden Clan cannot sacrifice in vain, especially an ancestor-level existence!"

The elders in the clan council were discussing the matter in a flurry, some expressing disbelief, some expressing anger.

Although all races have begun to recover on a large scale today, there is still no one at the Great Sage level. The significance of an invincible existence like Shi Yan at the Saint King level is self-evident.

Logically speaking, other people might have their lives in danger in this operation, but with Shi Yan's strength, he would never have fallen to this point.

"No! Could this powerful wave of disaster be triggered by Jiang Taixu? Perhaps he was trapped in a desperate situation by Shi Yan and others, and had to fight for his life!"

Finally, someone thought of the terrifying aura of disaster that was hanging over the Eastern Wilderness, and his face changed suddenly.

The others were also stunned when they heard this, and then their expressions became completely gloomy.

The power and scale of the heavenly tribulation caused by Chai Xin were countless times greater than those of an ordinary saintly tribulation, causing countless people to mistakenly believe that it was a saint king undergoing a great saintly tribulation.

Both the human race and the ancient race were praying that it was not the other side's Saint King who was undergoing the tribulation, so as to avoid the current situation completely heading towards an uncontrollable abyss.

But now the death of the Lion-faced Holy King Shi Yan has made the Golden Clan aware of something unusual, and the extremely unfavorable speculation has gradually gained the upper hand.

“Speaking of which, have you ever felt that the fluctuation of the calamity energy seems to be rapidly approaching us…”

Everyone's mood became increasingly heavy, but the being who had spoken earlier spoke again, and his words once again struck everyone's heart, causing their entire bodies to tremble.

It should be understood that those who are able to participate in the discussion are all at the level of Saint Kings, and there are absolutely no real fools.

"Not good, send someone to summon Old Seven immediately and ask him to return quickly with the golden divine mace!"

The old man with a dragon head and a human body sitting on the first seat suddenly stood up, and slammed his palm covered with golden scales on the armrest of the chair. A terrifying aura immediately spread out.

"Okay, I'll go there myself!"

A scarlet-gold divine horse spoke in human language, and the solemnity in its eyes was no different from that of a real person. The moment the words fell, its figure disappeared.

Membership of the Golden Clan is not determined by appearance, but by bloodline.

This ethnic group has members of various shapes and forms, including dragons, lions, tigers, horses, cows... and even those who are born in human form.

Moreover, it is not affected by blood relationship. Even if both parents are lions, it is possible to give birth to a child in the form of a horse.

The only way they distinguish between their relatives and the same clan is through blood!
It is said that the bloodline of the Golden Clan has existed since the beginning of the world. It is one of the most powerful bloodlines in the world. If it can return to its origin, it will not be inferior to the legendary true dragon and divine phoenix.

Each form of the Golden Clan has different specialties.

For example, the tribesmen in dragon form are almighty kings, and they are super geniuses in all aspects, whether in physical body, divine power, or speed.

The tribesmen in lion form are physically strong and good at close combat; the tribesmen in tiger form are invincible and have a special understanding of secret arts and magical powers.

As for the horse-formed Saint King who had taken the initiative to deliver the message earlier, his greatest strength was of course his speed.

A golden horse at the level of Saint King is the coveted mount of countless powerful men throughout history. It is second only to the legendary dragon horse in the same level.

Of course, Golden Horse had cultivated to the level of Saint King, and not everyone could easily subdue him. Most people would not even dare to breathe in front of him, let alone the word "subdue".

If you really dare to have such thoughts, you will probably be trampled to death by the other party in an instant.

"With Lao Liu going to pass the message, we should be able to make it in time."

Seeing the Golden Horse Saint King leave, the Dragon Head Saint King slowly sat back in his original position, his expression slightly better.

Not far away, the Saint King in the form of a tiger beast curled his lips and said, "Brother, why are you so worried? Could it be that Jiang Taixu really dares to defy the world and use the heavenly calamity to sweep away our clan's holy realm? If he really dares to do that, he will surely become the public enemy of all clans."

"That's right. Even if he dares to come, we nine supreme saint kings are not pushovers. When the time comes, we will raise the Dharma Protector Array. Even if the real great saint comes, our Golden Clan will be as strong as a rock!"

Not far away, a holy king with a bear's head and a human body also echoed in a muffled voice.

"Foolish! Although our clan is not in danger of extinction, what if he disrupts the earth veins and slaughters all the subordinate clans? Besides, what are the characteristics of the heavenly tribulation that you don't know? If the nine of us also participate in it, how far will it evolve?"

The Dragon-Headed Saint King glared coldly at the two Saint Kings. Although he did not reveal any aura, he made the two of them shut up immediately and no longer dared to raise any objections.

"Brother, please don't disturb me. Jiang Taixu is not a reckless person. He knows that my clan has ancient imperial weapons and various backgrounds, so he will definitely have some reservations. This time he must be desperate. We just need to pretend to be nice to him, and he won't do anything stupid."
