章節 138: Chapter 138: Unethical and Unconventional Moves
Blood trickled from the corner of Hun Tiandi's mouth, his complexion turning unpleasant. He was injured, and the cause of his injury was none other than the floating Jade before him.
"Husband, are you okay?"
Upon noticing the bloodstain on Hun Tiandi's lips, Xiao Yi Xian trembled. She quickly wiped away the bloodstain and anxiously inquired about his well-being.
Her husband was perfectly fine just moments ago, so why did he suddenly start spitting blood?
When the Four Demon Saints heard Xiao Yi Xian's words, they raised their heads to look at Hun Tiandi.
They noticed the paleness on his face and hurriedly asked, "Clan Leader, what happened?"
How could their Clan Leader get injured when he was perfectly fine earlier?
What happened?
Hun Tiandi shook his head. "I'm... fine..."
"I just wanted to completely fuse these eight pieces of Jade, but unexpectedly, there was a disturbance, and the Jade erupted with a terrifying force, injuring me just a little," Hun Tiandi explained.
"This..."
The Four Demon Saints focused their gaze on the eight pieces of Jade floating in front of Hun Tiandi.
Hun Tu asked, "Clan Leader, could it be that these Jades are fake?"
"No..."
Hun Tiandi shook his head. "They are real. These eight pieces of Jade are all genuine."
"Only the genuine Jade could injure me. It seems that fusing these eight pieces of Jade together is not a simple task," Hun Tiandi said, falling into silence.
Fusing these eight pieces of Jade together seemed far from simple. It was something even his soul in the peak state of the Heavenly Realm couldn't accomplish.
It seems that in order to completely fuse these eight pieces of Jade into one, the power of an Emperor's Realm soul is needed.
His current soul power was at the peak state of the Heavenly Realm. In theory, reaching the Emperor's Realm was just a step away.
However, taking that step seemed to be quite difficult.
At least...
After all these years, he still hadn't found the opportunity to break through to the Emperor's Realm in terms of soul power. The Void Devouring Flame had a method to reach Emperor's Realm soul.
That method involved devouring soul power. As long as enough soul power was devoured, one could forcefully advance to the Emperor's Realm.
The Soul Clan established the Soul Hall and searched the continent for soul power, especially the soul power of alchemists. All of this was to prepare for the Void Devouring Flame's breakthrough to the Emperor's Realm.
The Void Devouring Flame and the Soul Clan cooperated.
One of the requirements was to use the Soul Clan's heritage to break through to the Emperor's Realm soul.
He had mentioned that in order to completely fuse the eight fragments of the Jade into a complete piece, an Emperor's Realm soul was necessary.
Only an Emperor's Realm soul could use the complete Jade to deduce the location of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave.
Now...
He had devoured the Void Devouring Flame.
It was impossible for the Void Devouring Flame to reach the Emperor's Realm soul, but he still had a chance to strive for it, relying on devouring soul power to elevate his own soul power to the Emperor's Realm.
However...
With the "Divine Book" in Hun Tiandi's possession, he naturally understood that reaching the Emperor's Realm soul wasn't solely dependent on forcefully breaking through by devouring soul entities.
He could also completely devour the "energy bodies" and the spirits within the Heavenly Tomb, which would also assist his soul power in breaking through to the Emperor's Realm soul.
The former and the latter.
Hun Tiandi chose the latter.
Why?
That's because he had his eye on the Heavenly Tomb. The Heavenly Tomb was also a priceless treasure, and leaving it in the Gu clan was a waste.
He wanted it. Those guys in the Gu clan didn't deserve to possess such a precious treasure!
...
At the moment, it was impossible to completely fuse the eight pieces of Jade. Hun Tiandi could only keep them for now; he didn't dare to attempt it again.
There's no use in forcing the impossible; in the end, he would be the one at a disadvantage.
Just now, the eight pieces of Jade had caused him to suffer a small loss.
If he continued like this, he would be the one to ultimately suffer more.
Once his soul power reaches the Emperor's Realm, everything will be foolproof.
Hun Tiandi: "Did the undercover agents have all returned?"
Hun Sha: "Reporting to the Clan Leader, the undercover agents have all returned completely. Each one has successfully completed their mission without revealing their identities."
"Very good!"
Hun Tiandi: "From today onward, they can be themselves. These undercover agents have contributed and shed blood for the Soul Clan. Assign them good positions within the Soul Clan, understood?"
Hun Sha: "I understand!"
"Good!"
Hun Tiandi: "Prepare to go! Three days from now, I will personally lead the Soul Clan's army to attack the Gu Clan!"
"Yes!"
...
The Four Demon Saints departed.
On the day of the grand wedding-
With only a day, how can it be considered a grand wedding?
Although it was a bit late.
But ultimately, it wasn't too late. Three days were enough.
The news of the Soul Clan's upcoming attack on the Gu Clan had spread like wildfire across the continent. It caused a stir, but many forces considered it a normal course of action.
After all, Gu Clan Leader Gu Yuan had caused a commotion in the entire Soul Clan on the day of Hun Tiandi's wedding and even abducted two of his sons. If the Soul Clan didn't make any moves in response, something would be amiss.
It would be suspicious.
Many forces were actually hoping for a confrontation between the two mighty forces. Only when these two behemoths clashed would they have the opportunity to benefit, wouldn't they?
During these three days, Hun Tiandi was also not idle. He was extremely busy.
First, he fulfilled his duties on the day of the grand wedding with Xiao Yi Xian. The next day, he found Hun Xiu and Hun Qian. Their sons had been captured, so he needed to console and comfort them.
These three days.
Hun Tiandi was busy comforting people.
...
On the Gu Clan's side.
Gu Yuan had captured Hun Feng and Hun Yu, locking them up and preparing to wait for the Soul Clan to exchange his precious daughter for Hun Tiandi's two sons. One for two, a rather profitable deal.
But Gu Yuan didn't receive the expected message for the exchange from Hun Tiandi. Instead, he received news that the Soul Clan was planning a massive attack on the Gu Clan three days later.
The series of actions taken by Hun Tiandi and the Soul Clan left Gu Yuan completely dumbfounded.
Why wasn't this going according to the script?
Why weren't they following the usual pattern?
Wasn't Hun Tiandi supposed to choose the exchange? Why did he have to resort to aggression?
Not only was Gu Yuan stunned, but the Gu Clan was as well.
Their expectations were almost the same as Gu Yuan's, but unfortunately... they were bewildered by the actions of the Soul Clan and Hun Tiandi.
They truly were not playing by the rules.
How despicable!
Although Hun Tiandi and the Soul Clan's unexpected actions left Gu Yuan and the Gu Clan slightly bewildered, they were not afraid. So what if they went to war?
Who was afraid of whom?
With two mighty forces ready to go to war, there were other forces waiting in the wings.
And anyone with a bit of intelligence knew that they shouldn't fight, shouldn't go to war, or else they would only benefit others.
