Chapter 290: Hun Tiandi's Worries!
Gu Fei's breakthrough to Seven-Star Dou Saint wasn't publicized.
However, before long, like a storm, the news swept across the entire continent.
This was undoubtedly a major event for the entire Dou Qi Continent!
At the age of thirty, he was close to reaching the pinnacle of the continent, an astonishing speed that left everyone in awe.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Heh, now even the Hun Clan is starting to pay attention to such small matters..."
Standing atop a mountain, he chuckled softly.
He knew that many things couldn't be hidden from the Hun Clan.
After all, they had placed spies within various ancient clans for hundreds, even thousands of years.
The spies within the Gu Clan held significant positions, and whatever the elders knew, the Hun Clan's spies also knew.
However, it didn't matter!
Whatever was meant to happen would happen.
The Gu Clan was brimming with joy, and everywhere one could hear the excited discussions among the clan members.
The younger generation saw Gu Fei as their role model, vowing to follow in his footsteps.
Even some of the highly respected elders couldn't help but marvel at his talent, which far exceeded their expectations.
"Gu Fei..."
However, while the Gu Clan was immersed in their celebrations, a pair of cold eyes quietly observed it all.
...
Not only did the news of his breakthrough spread, but even his creation of the terrifying Dou Technique Angry Buddha Lotus Flame was discovered by the Hun Clan.
In an instant, the entire Hun Realm was shaken!!!
Deep in the heart of the realm stood a towering palace where the air seemed to freeze.
In the dimly lit hall, two figures emanated terrifying pressure.
"Interesting!!!"
One figure clenched their fist tightly, causing the Dou Qi to swirl throughout the hall. The space itself trembled.
"The brat's cultivation speed is faster than many Dou Gods from the ancient times, and his combat strength is impressive. If we allow him to continue growing, he could soon surpass Gu Yuan."
A deep, hoarse voice echoed through the hall, belonging to none other than Nihility Devouring Flame.
Its eyes, burning with black flames, were fixed on the image of Gu Fei, filled with both apprehension and a trace of unwillingness.
At the mention of Gu Yuan, his massive body trembled slightly.
The brutal battle from a thousand years ago seemed as fresh as yesterday. Gu Yuan's
terrifying strength still left a lingering fear in its heart.
Now, after consuming countless soul essences through the Soul Hall, its strength had greatly improved.
It had already reached the Nine-Star Dou Saint level, and finding an opponent on the continent was becoming more difficult.
Yet, the mere mention of Gu Yuan still stirred a sense of dread within it.
At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the hall.
It was a handsome middle-aged man, exuding a fearsome aura.
He was none other than the leader of the clan, Hun Tiandi!
"Nihility, your concerns are mine as well. That kid... even calling him a monster feels like an understatement."
His deep voice carried a magnetic quality but also held a trace of gravity.
As the leader of the Hun Clan, he was always proud and rarely showed himself.
In fact, he was one of the five strongest experts on the Dou Qi Continent a thousand years ago, only one step away from reaching Dou God.
With just a wave of his hand, he could shake the entire continent.
However, even he couldn't help but be moved by this young man who, at just over thirty, could rival an Eight-Star Dou Saint!
Thirty years old, and already an Eight-Star Dou Saint...
It was unimaginable, and he even created such a terrifying Dou Technique.
If this continued...
"Our plan can no longer be delayed."
Nihility Devouring Flame said urgently, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.
Previously, due to some unusual movements from the Gu Clan, their grand plan had been
delayed.
Now, with Gu Fei's rapid rise, the pressure on them had only intensified.
If he were to reach Nine-Star Dou Saint, the advantage they had over the Gu Clan would
diminish.
Hun Tiandi frowned upon hearing this.
In his deep, starry eyes, a sharp glint flickered.
"That boy is showing such unparalleled talent, the Gu Clan will undoubtedly protect him with everything they have. Killing him... will be extremely difficult."
After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly.
And he wasn't wrong.
With Gu Yuan overseeing things, Gu Fei wouldn't be easy to touch for now.
"We'll stick to the original plan and target the Ling Clan first. Their bloodline has weakened significantly, and the strongest among them is only at the early Seven-Star Dou Saint level." Nihility Devouring Flame fell into deep thought upon hearing this suggestion.
It hadn't expected Hun Tiandi to make this decision.
Could it be that the brat would be left alone for now?
But at this moment, it seemed like the only option.
"Alright!"
His massive form leaned forward slightly, as if eager to begin.
Indeed!
This move was a risky gamble.
Because of Gu Fei's rise, they had no choice but to take the risk!
As the two reached an agreement, the temperature in the hall plummeted.
"In that case, let's stir up a storm!"
"Let the whole continent witness the strength of our Hun Clan!"
Hun Tiandi's deep voice carried a trace of excitement.
Nihility Devouring Flame responded, its colossal body rising slowly, black flames surging, as
though it intended to burn the entire hall to the ground.
"The Ling Clan... let them be the appetizer!"
He grinned viciously.
At that moment, the door to the hall suddenly opened.
A black-robed man walked in quickly- it was Hun Huzi.
"Clan Leader, Lord Nihility, there's bad news."
His voice trembled slightly.
Hun Tiandi and Nihility Devouring Flame's expressions darkened.
"Speak!"
Hun Tiandi coldly spat out the word.
"The Gu Clan seems to be preparing to collect Heavenly Flames for Gu Fei."
"It appears they have already begun their operations."
"With their strength, it won't take long for them to find quite a few flames."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.
They both exchanged a glance.
This was no small matter!
Earlier, their subordinates had reported that the power of the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame
could increase with more Heavenly Flames.
Now, the Gu Clan was going all out to gather Heavenly Flames.
If Gu Fei obtained more flames, the power of that technique would rise even further.
If they delayed any longer...
"It seems we need to speed up the destruction of the Ling Clan." "Three days! I want to hear news of their clan's demise within three days!"
Hun Tiandi said coldly, his eyes flashing with a chilling light. "Nihility, it's up to you!"
"Rest assured, this time I will personally take action. I won't let a single person from the Ling Realm escape... As for Gu Yuan, you will need to keep him occupied." Nihility Devouring Flame nodded, a vicious gleam in its pitch-black eyes.
