Chapter 118: The Gu Clan’s Ancient Emperor's Jade obtained

While there were disturbances occurring outside the Gu Realm, something unexpected happened within the ancestral hall of the Gu Clan.

The Ancient Emperor's Jade, belonging to the Gu Clan, was completely swapped by a member of the Soul Clan who had infiltrated the Gu Clan.

Initially, there seemed to be no opportunity for such an act, but due to the departure of the Gu Clan's powerful Dou Shengs to the outside of the Gu Realm, it presented an opportunity for the hidden member of the Soul Clan to execute their plan.

He successfully swapped the Ancient Emperor's Jade hidden within the ancestral hall of the Gu Clan.

After the swap, the Soul Clan member hidden within the Gu Clan revealed a sinister and cunning smile, a smile that should never have appeared on the face of a Gu Clan powerhouse.

Meanwhile, the Gu Clan powerhouses remained oblivious to the fact that their Ancient Emperor's Jade had been swapped.

...

The consecutive visits of Hun Tiandi to the four ancient races to deliver wedding invitations had become public knowledge, causing a sensation throughout the Dou Qi Continent.

The fact that Hun Tiandi, the leader of the Soul Clan, personally delivered the wedding invitations raised questions about the level of importance placed on these four ancient races.

It was evident that Hun Tiandi's personal involvement indicated the significance he attached to this upcoming wedding.

To what extent did he value it?

To the extent that Hun Tiandi personally took action.

Wasn't that a clear demonstration of importance?

The Shi and Ling clan, also ancient races, were dumbfounded upon hearing this news. Their wedding invitations were delivered by the Palace Master of the Soul Hall, which was completely different from the treatment received by the other four ancient races.

Why did the wedding invitations of the four ancient races have Hun Tiandi, the leader of the Soul Clan, personally delivering them, while the Shi and Ling Clan had theirs delivered by the Soul Hall?

The disparity in treatment between the ancient races was striking.

Thinking about their current situation, the Shi and Ling Clan finally understood. After all, compared to the other four ancient races, they were significantly inferior in many aspects.

The Shi and Ling Clan could somewhat understand the differential treatment from the Soul Clan, given the Soul Clan's superior strength. Although they could comprehend it, there was still a sense of frustration in their hearts, but they were helpless.

After all, the Soul Clan's power was undeniable, and the Shi and Ling Clan were far from being able to compete with them.

They could only swallow their frustration for now and hope to reclaim their dignity in the future if the opportunity arose.

...

Upon returning to the Soul Clan, Hun Tiandi gathered numerous poisons and sent them to the residence of Xiao Yi Xian. Hun Tiandi also instructed Hun Mie to continuously collect poisons throughout the Dou Qi Continent and deliver them to Xiao Yi Xian's place.

With only a few months left until the wedding, Hun Tiandi aimed to rapidly enhance Xiao Yi Xian's strength within this time frame.

He wanted her to astonish everyone during the wedding!

If possible, Hun Tiandi even wished for Xiao Yi Xian to reach the Nine-Star Dou Saint level, which was not an impossible feat.

After all, Xiao Yi Xian possessed the Woeful Poison Body, a special existence that could become stronger by consuming poisons.

To ensure that Xiao Yi Xian could perfectly absorb the toxicity within the poisons, Hun Tiandi instructed Hun Kong and other Soul Clan alchemists to refine poison pills using the poisons collected by the Soul Clan and Soul Hall.

By providing these poison pills to Xiao Yi Xian, she could absorb the toxicity more effectively and at a faster rate. The only downside was that it required a significant effort from the alchemists.

The Soul Clan alchemists were divided into two groups, led by Hun Kong, and continuously produced poison pills for Xiao Yi Xian, operating like factories.

Fortunately, the Soul Clan had a sufficient number of advanced alchemists; otherwise, it would have been difficult to keep up with the demand.

Xiao Yi Xian also displayed remarkable progress and determination.

After all, strength was also a factor that pleased Hun Tiandi. Fortunately, Xiao Yi Xian possessed the almost cheat-like Woeful Poison Body, so no matter how many poison pills were given to her, they served as nourishment.

If it were someone else, consuming so many poison pills would have turned them into a pile of bones long ago.

But not Xiao Yi Xian!

...

Hun Tu, one of the Four Demon Saints, found Hun Tiandi and handed over the Gu Clan's Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade. Hun Tiandi took the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade and examined it.

Hun Tiandi said, "I never expected that the Gu Clan's Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade, which should have been the most difficult to obtain, would now fall into the hands of our Soul Clan. It seems that my breakthrough to the level of Dou Di is already unstoppable."

A sinister smile crept upon the corner of Hun Tiandi's mouth.

During the visits to the Gu Clan, there was also a "friendly exchange" with Gu Yuan within the Gu Clan.

As a result, the undercover agent hidden within the Gu Clan managed to obtain this Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade that rightfully belonged to the Gu Clan. It was truly an unexpected delight!

Hun Tu spoke, "Clan Leader, now that we have the Gu Clan's Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade, can we bring back the undercover agent hidden within the Gu Clan?"

"The fact that the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade was swapped can be concealed for a while, but not for long. If the Gu Clan discovers that the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade has been swapped, the identity of the undercover agent will likely be exposed."

"Yes!"

Hun Tiandi nodded slightly and said, "You are right. But if the undercover agent leaves now, it will undoubtedly be an early exposure and may affect our future plans!"

"Therefore, he cannot come back now. After my wedding and the successful execution of the plan, we can let him return! At that time, all the undercover agents hidden within the Gu Clans can come back."

"Yes! I understand," Hun Tu nodded and left the hall.

The empty hall remained silent.

On the supreme throne of the clan leader, Hun Tiandi played with the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade that belonged to the Gu Clan and murmured, "Gu Yuan, oh Gu Yuan, I gave you a chance to exchange this Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade for your daughter, but you hesitated and couldn't make up your mind."

"Now that the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade, which belongs to the Gu Clan, has fallen into my hands, it seems impossible for you to redeem your daughter. Without the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade, what can you offer in exchange, Gu Yuan?"

Thinking of Gu Xun'er, Hun Tiandi realized that he hadn't seen her for some time. With these thoughts in mind, Hun Tiandi disappeared from the hall.

...

Haotian Mansion.

"You came like this."

The sudden appearance of Hun Tiandi startled Gu Xun'er. She patted her slightly curved abdomen with her delicate jade hand, her face showing fear. It was evident that she was startled by Hun Tiandi's sudden arrival.

When Hun Tiandi arrived, everyone around have left at the first opportunity, leaving only Hun Tiandi and Gu Xun'er alone.

The corners of Hun Tiandi's mouth curled up as he looked at Gu Xun'er and said, "I remember that you were not lacking in courage, right? When you were a mere ant-like Dou Zhe, dared to question me, you were not lacking in courage!"

"Hmph!"

Upon hearing Hun Tiandi bring up the past, Gu Xun'er coldly snorted, her pretty face showing a hint of anger. She said, "You still dare to bring up the past? Hun Xiu, just you wait. One day, I will definitely trample you under my feet."

"You?"

Hun Tiandi smiled and said, "Just a measly Dou Wang, and you want to defeat me? I'll give you time to catch up, but when you stand at the pinnacle of the continent, you will find that you can no longer see my figure."
