1054. Handling trivial matters
Yan Jin expressed considerable agreement with what Xiao Yan said: "The Soul Clan is indeed like that; their style is unique among all the families descended from Dou Di."
"Even from the perspective of their opponents, it must be said that the Soul Clan's style has something worth learning. Among all the families descended from Dou Di, the Soul Clan is the least concerned with personal relationships; resources and status within the clan are entirely based on strength. As far as I know, the current clan leader, Soul Heavenly Emperor, has no children, yet even the descendants of their high-ranking elders still have to go through a brutal selection process to obtain cultivation resources. Although this is cold-hearted, it has also cultivated a group of extremely powerful and efficient experts for them."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but nod. Whether it was the Soul Clan or the Soul Palace, their methods were extremely despicable and repulsive. However, each individual among them was undeniably powerful; there were almost no mediocre individuals. Whether top experts or their young prodigies, they were all highly competitive across the entire continent.
To achieve this, they would face considerable resistance, requiring their clan leader to have absolute control over the clan. Once the clan leader gives a command, those below must obey strictly without question.
As far as Xiao Yan is concerned, even if he approves of this model, he would never allow the alliance to operate in this way.
"Let's not talk about them anymore. It would be good if our alliance could continue to develop. However, the Eldar seem to be a big problem right now. Have you thought about how to deal with them?"
The descendants of the Spirit Race are also an extremely sensitive topic. They number in the tens of millions. Although most of them are of average strength, they almost always provide the core of the Spirit Race with exceptionally talented geniuses, making them a force that cannot be ignored.
Although they currently lack a leader and cannot cause any significant trouble, they are fundamentally still hostile forces, and dealing with them is not an easy task.
"The best news for us right now is that Ling Cang is not dead, and judging from his attitude, he seems willing to sacrifice himself to save a portion of the Ling people. So this matter is not urgent enough to be dealt with."
Upon hearing Yan Jin's question, Xiao Yan smiled and replied, "Moreover, Little Fairy Doctor said she has entrusted this matter to her. We can discuss a plan at our next gathering to see if it is feasible."
"The leader of the alliance is indeed enjoying the blessings of having multiple wives, one for domestic affairs and one for external affairs, as well as a woman of extraordinary talent."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled knowingly. The "inner" and "outer" that Yan Jin mentioned naturally referred to Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor, while the "genius" referred to Xun'er. Putting aside Xun'er and Little Fairy Doctor, Qing Lin had indeed won over all the powerful figures who participated in the raid with her actions.
She herself is very powerful, commanding the entire Nine Netherworld Python Clan. Her judgment on the battlefield and her use of her own abilities are absolutely top-notch.
The more seasoned and powerful these individuals are, the more they understand Qing Lin's extraordinary abilities. If it were merely a matter of strength, that would be one thing, since even the strongest couldn't surpass Yan Jin. The crucial issue is Qing Lin's young age.
Not even thirty years old, she's incredibly young, even by human standards. As long as she doesn't perish prematurely, she's destined to reach the pinnacle of the continent. With such talent, even if the alliance were truly entrusted to her, there wouldn't be many voices of doubt.
However, all of this is ultimately just everyone's opinion. Qing Lin herself fully supports Xiao Yan becoming the leader of the alliance.
So when faced with Yan Jin's praise, Xiao Yan did not remain humble as usual, but instead answered seriously: "The three of them are indeed extremely outstanding. I believe that at the upcoming conference, Little Fairy Doctor will also prove herself with her actions."
"Alright, then I'll wait and see."
After finishing his words, Yan Jin left. In fact, he had been quite busy lately. On one hand, he needed to continue maintaining the Mountain and River Dragon-Trapping Formation. On the other hand, their surprise attack on the Spirit Clan and their seizure of the Spirit Realm were still a secret and had not yet been truly spread.
Although this matter would eventually become known to outsiders, the alliance wanted to delay the news as much as possible. This would be a huge blow to both the alliance with the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan, as well as to the Thunder, Medicine, and Stone Clans. Keeping it unknown would make it easier for them to act.
In addition, Yan Jin was also tasked with transporting important figures from the Alliance.
The alliance comprises several factions with countless disciples. While it's not yet possible to bring them all to the Spirit Realm, some core members need to be mobilized. The Spirit Race is in dire need of rebuilding and requires as many people as possible.
To ensure the process proceeds smoothly, Yan Jin himself had to be responsible for the transport; otherwise, it would be easily detected. Of course, to maintain secrecy, Yan Jin exercised considerable restraint, limiting the number of people involved each time, and never making a big fuss.
This time, after Yan Jin returned from his trip, he brought Xiao Yan a troublesome character with him.
"Brother, you're so disloyal! You didn't even call me for a battle of this magnitude?"
Such a warlike nature could only be found in Zi Yan and Lei Jingxiao.
Seeing Lei Jingxiao's slight dissatisfaction, Xiao Yan smiled and patiently reassured him, "I didn't bring you along because you can play a more important role in the Starfall Pavilion. I don't trust anyone else to handle this mission besides you."
Upon hearing this, Lei Jingxiao's anger immediately subsided by more than half. Being frank and straightforward, he naturally wouldn't hold a grudge against Xiao Yan over such a matter; rather, he was expressing his regret at not having participated in the battle.
"You absolutely have to take me next time! I'm really strong now!"
Xiao Yan laughed heartily and readily agreed, "Okay, I'll definitely take you next time. You're my vanguard!"
Receiving Xiao Yan's promise immediately lifted Lei Jingxiao's spirits, and he then asked Xiao Yan, "Ahem, brother, where is Zi Yan now?"
"In the previous battle, Zi Yan's opponent was too strong, and she was injured and is still recuperating."
Upon hearing this, Lei Jingxiao visibly tensed up and immediately asked, "Injured? Is it serious? Where is she now? I'll go check on her!"
Judging from Lei Jingxiao's tone and appearance, Xiao Yan knew exactly what he wanted to do: "Don't worry, she's in the Spirit Realm right now. I also need to talk to her, so let's go together."
The reason Xiao Yan planned to visit Zi Yan with Lei Jingxiao was because mentioning this matter had stirred up some doubts in Xiao Yan's mind. He had been too busy before to have time, but now they could sit down and have a proper chat.
