290. Chapter 290: The Worries of Hun Tiandi!

Gu Fei broke through to become a Seven-Star Dou Saint.

This news was not deliberately publicized.

But shortly after, like a storm, it instantly swept across the entire continent.

For the entire Dou Qi Continent, this could absolutely be considered a major event! At thirty years old, he was about to reach the peak of the continent; this speed was simply shocking.

"Heh, the people of the Soul Clan are starting to pay attention to such trivial matters now..."

Gu Fei stood on the mountain peak and chuckled.

He knew many things.

In fact, they could not be hidden from the Soul Clan.

Because the Soul Clan had planted spies within every one of the Ancient Races.

They had been laying their plans for hundreds, even thousands of years.

The spies planted in the Gu Clan held very high positions.

Whatever the Gu Clan Elders could learn, those Soul Clan spies could also learn.

However, it did not matter! What was meant to come would come.

The Gu Clan was filled with joy, and the excited discussions of the clansmen could be heard everywhere.

The younger generation, in particular, viewed Gu Fei as their goal and one after another resolved to follow in his footsteps.

Even some highly respected Elders could not help but marvel at Gu Fei's talent, which far exceeded their imagination.

"Gu Fei."

However, just as the Gu Clan was immersed in joy, a pair of cold, sinister eyes were silently watching all of this.

Not only was the news of Gu Fei's breakthrough discovered by the Soul Clan, but even the fact that he had created the terrifying Battle Technique, the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus, was uncovered.

In an instant.

The entire Soul Realm was shaken by it!!! Inside a towering palace in the deepest part of the Soul Realm, the air seemed to have frozen.

In the dim main hall, two figures exuded terrifying pressure.

"Interesting!!!"

A figure was seen clenching his fists tightly at this moment, and for a time, Dou Qi permeated the entire hall.

Even space trembled because of it.

"That brat's cultivation speed is already faster than many Dou Di powerhouses from the ancient era, and his combat strength is not bad. If he is allowed to continue growing, I fear that before long, another powerhouse like Gu Yuan will emerge."

A low, hoarse voice echoed in the hall; the speaker was none other than Void Swallowing Flame.

Its eyes, which burned with black flames, stared fixedly at Gu Fei in the vision, containing both apprehension and a trace of unwillingness.

When mentioning Gu Yuan, the massive body of Void Swallowing Flame trembled involuntarily.

That tragic battle from a thousand years ago seemed like it was only yesterday; the terrifying strength of Gu Yuan still left it with lingering fears to this day.

Now, by relying on the Soul Hall to collect Soul Origin on a large scale for consumption, its own strength was no longer what it used to be.

It had already cultivated to the Nine-Star Dou Saint level; it was hard to find an opponent on the entire continent.

But as long as Gu Yuan was mentioned.

It was still difficult to hide the fear in its heart! Just then, a figure appeared out of thin air in the hall.

That was a middle-aged man with a handsome face, and his entire body radiated a heart-palpitating pressure.

It was the Soul Clan Chief, Hun Tiandi! "Void, your worries are also my worries. The word 'monster' is not enough to describe this child, Gu Fei."

Hun Tiandi's voice was low and magnetic, but it contained a hint of gravity.

As the master of the Soul Clan, he had always been arrogant and rarely showed himself.

On ordinary days, Hun Tiandi basically would not appear easily. After all, Hun Tiandi was one of the five strongest experts on the Dou Qi Continent a thousand years ago, only one step away from the Dou Di level.

A mere wave of his hand could shake the entire continent. However, at this moment, facing a youth who had just turned thirty and could already rival an Eight-Star Dou Saint, even he could not help but be moved! Thirty years old, an Eight-Star Dou Saint—it was unthinkable, and he had even created such a terrifying Battle Technique. If this were allowed to continue, "Our plan cannot be delayed any longer."

Void Swallowing Flame said in a deep voice, its tone carrying a hint of anxiety. Previously, it was because of some abnormal actions by the Gu Clan that the Soul Clan's grand plan had been delayed.

And now, Gu Fei's powerful rise had put immense pressure on the Soul Clan.

If Gu Fei were allowed to grow to a Nine-Star Dou Saint, then the Soul Clan's advantage over the Gu Clan would not be as great as before.

Upon hearing this, Hun Tiandi frowned slightly.

At this moment, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, which were as deep as the starry sky. "That brat is now displaying such heaven-defying talent that the Gu Clan will surely do everything in their power to protect him. Killing him is extremely difficult!"

A moment later, he spoke slowly. These words were indeed true.

After all, with that fellow Gu Yuan sitting in command, this Gu Fei could not be touched for the time being. "Let us follow the previous plan and strike at the Spirit Clan first. This clan's bloodline has weakened significantly, and the strongest in the clan is merely a Seven-Star Early Stage."

Upon hearing this proposal, Void Swallowing Flame fell into deep thought. It seemed it had not expected Hun Tiandi to make such a decision.

Was this Gu Fei just going to be left alone?

But indeed, this was the only way for now. "Fine!"

Void Swallowing Flame's body leaned forward slightly, as if it could not wait any longer. Correct!

This move was a risky gamble. Because of Gu Fei's rise, the Soul Clan had no choice but to take a desperate risk! The moment the two reached a consensus, the temperature in the entire hall dropped suddenly.

"Since that is the case, let us stir up this storm!"

"Let the entire continent witness the strength of my Soul Clan!"

Hun Tiandi's low voice carried a hint of excitement.

Hearing this, Void Swallowing Flame's massive body slowly rose into the air, black flames surging around it, as if it wanted to burn the entire hall to ashes.

"Spirit Clan, let you be the appetizer!"

Void Swallowing Flame grinned hideously.

Just at this moment, the door of the great hall was suddenly pushed open.

A man dressed in black robes walked in quickly; it was none other than Hun Xuzi.

"Clan Leader, Lord Void, there is bad news."

There was a trace of trembling in Hun Xuzi's voice. Upon hearing this, the expressions of Hun Tiandi and Void Swallowing Flame sank simultaneously.

"Speak!"

Hun Tiandi coldly spat out the word.

"The Ancient Clan seems to be preparing to collect Exotic Fire for Gu Fei."

"It seems the people of the Ancient Clan have already begun to take action now."

"With the strength of the Ancient Clan, I fear it will not take long for them to find quite a few."

Once these words were spoken, the entire great hall instantly fell into a deathly silence.

Hun Tiandi and Void Swallowing Flame exchanged a glance. This was no small matter! Previous reports from Soul Clan subordinates had stated that the power of the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus would continuously grow with the number of Exotic Fires.

Now, the Ancient Clan was actually sparing no effort in manpower to find Exotic Fire for Gu Fei; if Gu Fei were to obtain more Exotic Fire...

The power of that Buddha Fury Fire Lotus would certainly rise to another level.

If this drags on...

"It seems we must accelerate the speed at which we annihilate the Spirit Clan."

"Three days! Within three days, I want to hear the news of the Spirit Clan's annihilation!"

Hun Tiandi said in a deep voice, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Void, it is up to you!"

"Rest assured, I will take action personally this time; I will not let a single person escape the Spirit Realm... As for Gu Yuan, that will require you to hold him back!"

Void Swallowing Flame nodded, a trace of ferocity appearing in his pitch-black eyes. (End of chapter)
