Chapter 143: Hun Tiandi's Broken Promise?

The members of the Gu Clan had feared that their leader would choose to confront Hun Tiandi head-on. 

Although they were not afraid of engaging in a direct conflict with the Soul Clan, they still hoped that their leader would opt for a temporary compromise. 

After all, it was better to preserve their strength and live to fight another day.

Fortunately, their leader's choice did not disappoint them.

He remained the true leader they had always known, one who prioritized the bigger picture.

He was worthy of the title.

...

Gu Yuan's decision to surrender not only relieved the pressure on the Gu Clan's strong warriors but also eased the tension among the hidden powerhouses of the other Ancient Clans. 

Previously, they had anticipated a clash between the Gu Clan and the Soul Clan, hoping to take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits while both sides suffered losses. 

However, after witnessing the true power of the Soul Clan, they no longer held such expectations. Instead, they began to worry about the consequences of a conflict between the two clans.

If a war were to break out, the Gu Clan would undoubtedly be annihilated.

In that case, who among the other Ancient Clans could stand against the might of the Soul Clan?

Fortunately...

Gu Yuan's temporary surrender did not disappoint them.

Once the Soul Clan leaves and the immediate situation was resolved, they planned to pay a visit to the Gu Clan and join forces with them to launch an attack on the Soul Clan, utilizing the collective strength of the Ancient Clans.

The power of the Soul Clan is truly formidable.

As fellow Ancient Clans, why is the Soul Clan so exceptional and strong?

For the other Ancient Clans, the existence of the Soul Clan is like a sword hanging over their heads. They can tolerate the strength of the Soul Clan, but it must be within a controllable range. 

However, the power of the Soul Clan has exceeded what they can control. To them, it poses a threat.

The Soul Clan must be annihilated.

Otherwise, these powerful beings from the other Ancient Clans will truly find it difficult to rest and sleep.

...

"Good!"

"Very good!"

Upon hearing this, Hun Tiandi smiled and said, "Gu Yuan, congratulations. You have made the right choice!"

The strong warriors on the Soul Clan's warships were stunned when they heard that Hun Tiandi had accepted Gu Yuan's surrender. 

What was going on? Did their leader really choose to accept Gu Yuan's surrender?

It takes tremendous magnanimity and tolerance to make such a decision!

Could it be that their leader, Hun Tiandi, is not afraid that Gu Yuan will seek the support of the other Ancient Clans to counterattack the Soul Clan?

How big-hearted is their leader?

They couldn't understand why Hun Tiandi accepted Gu Yuan's surrender, and they didn't dare to ask!

But there is one thing they know. The clan leader must have his reasons for doing so. They always believe in their clan leader and will always stand by his side.

Hun Tiandi: "Gu Yuan, since you have chosen to surrender, can you return my two unruly sons to me?" 

Hun Tiandi didn't forget that one of the purposes of leading the army here was to rescue his two unruly sons.

"Naturally!"

Gu Yuan nodded slightly. By choosing to surrender, it naturally meant returning Hun Tiandi's two sons to him. 

As for using Hun Tiandi's two sons as a threat to exchange for his own daughter, Gu Xun'er, Gu Yuan knew it was impossible.

With the Soul Clan's army pressing on, any slight carelessness would bring disaster upon the Gu Clan. It would be a joke to even think about trying to threaten Hun Tiandi at this time.

After going around in circles, it turned out that the clown was himself!

He is feeling helpless and aggrieved, but who would know?

He had to maintain a facade of strength on his face. Gu Yuan was truly struggling. As the clan leader of the Gu Clan, he was truly facing immense challenges.

Gu Yuan turned his head and looked at Gu Lie. "Gu Lie, go and bring Hun Tiandi's two sons out."

"Understood!"

Gu Lie nodded slightly.

He felt unwilling in his heart!

But he had no other choice!

He could only nod and leave.

After a while, Gu Lie returned with two young men behind him. Those two young men were none other than Hun Feng and Hun Yu.

"Father!"

Upon seeing this, Hun Feng and Hun Yu were delighted. They sprouted their battle wings and flew towards the warship where Hun Tiandi was located. Gu Lie didn't stop them, nor did he dare to.

He could only watch helplessly as the "cooked ducks" flew away, completely powerless!

"Hmm!"

Hun Tiandi looked at Hun Feng and Hun Yu landing on the warship and nodded slightly. These two fellows didn't seem to have suffered any injuries while they were in the Gu Clan.

"You may go down!"

"Yes!"

...

Hun Feng and Hun Yu had been returned to Hun Tiandi. With that, this battle between the two clans should come to an end. 

Gu Yuan spoke up, "Brother Hun, both of your esteemed sons have been returned to you."

"Brother Hun, shouldn't you also take the Soul Clan's powerhouses and leave this place?"

As an opponent, Gu Yuan understood Hun Tiandi quite well. He was an extremely proud individual, and he would do what he said. His words held weight, which was a necessary trait for a powerful individual.

Hun Tiandi remained in the Gu Realm with so many powerhouses, which was always a threat to the Gu Clan.

Gu Yuan felt restless, and so did the other Gu Clan powerhouses!

As for his own daughter, Gu Xun'er, after the matters here is concluded, he would personally go to the Soul Clan with the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's jade.

If they couldn't win the battle.

What else could they do?

They had no choice but to compromise.

...

Faced with Gu Yuan's request, Hun Tiandi shook his head and said, "Brother Gu, I cannot retreat at this moment."

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing Hun Tiandi's words, Gu Yuan immediately became serious and said in a deep voice, "Hun Tiandi, are you going back on your word?"

His eyes narrowed slightly, surprised by Hun Tiandi's despicable and shameless behavior!

The powerhouses behind Gu Yuan, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, tensed up again. They looked solemnly at Hun Tiandi and the Soul Clan powerhouses behind him.

There was a trace of anger in their hearts, "Damn Hun Tianddi, you're going back on your word, you're despicable and shameless!"

Even the Ancient Clan powerhouses who were secretly observing were dumbfounded!

They originally thought that the matter had come to an end.

But unexpectedly!

They never expected Hun Tiandi to be so despicable and shameless, breaking his promise.

The initially relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense and oppressive. In this atmosphere, it seemed like... an earth-shattering battle was about to unfold in the next moment.

The Soul Clan powerhouses were also stunned for a moment, but they quickly regained their senses, thinking to themselves, "The Clan Leader is truly worthy of being the Clan Chief. This scheme is executed flawlessly!"

"He effortlessly rescued the two young masters, and now they will have no hesitation in attacking the Gu Clan."

The Soul Clan powerhouses looked at Hun Tiandi with admiration in their eyes. They didn't see any problem with their Clan Leader's actions. To achieve extraordinary accomplishments, extraordinary means must be employed.

Is the process important?

No...

It's not important!

The result is what matters!

If anyone is to blame, it's Gu Yuan for believing in it.
