278: Chapter 278 Xiao Xiao's imposing aura, Six-Star Dou Ling

Boom! With a loud bang, the restriction on the main hall door dissipated, radiating an ancient aura as if it had weathered the passage of time.

Creak! Xiao Lin pushed the door open, the sound of years of disuse echoing, and entered. The hall was furnished very simply, with only an altar upon which floated an illusory square of flames.

The brilliant light remained unchanged.

"The seal is intact; there are no signs of it breaking!" Xiao Lin muttered, gazing at the flame seal with furrowed brows, his heart relaxing.

As long as the seal held, that ferocious god had no possibility of escaping. This was a backup measure left behind by his father, Xiao Yan, when he departed the Fighting Qi Continent.

Xiao Yan had also been worried that Hun Tiandi might have a chance to break the seal, so he left behind a means of observation.

However, they were not Dou Di, nor could they go to the Twin Emperors Mountain to truly investigate the void seal.

"It must be a coincidence of names?" Xiao Lin said softly, turning to walk out of the hall.

On the altar behind him, the brilliant flame square flickered slightly, dimming; Xiao Lin did not notice this scene.

The forbidden hall was sealed, and the light barrier defense was reactivated.

"Trouble for you, Elder Xing!" After saying this and bowing respectfully, Xiao Lin left the forbidden area.

"Little Brother, where are you going?" As Xiao Lin was lost in thought, a bewitching, charming voice sounded in his ear, like the most terrifying call in the world.

"Big Sister, aren't you in seclusion refining medicinal pills? Why have you come out?"

Xiao Lin looked up abruptly, gazing at the charming woman in white before him. At the center of her forehead was a small, seven-colored snake mark, and her pitch-black eyes radiated an eerie charm.

"Oh? Are you unhappy to see me?" The Lady in White's lips curled into a smile as she walked toward Xiao Lin.

"How could that be!" Xiao Lin said in fear.

This woman was none other than Xiao Xiao, Xiao Lin's sister. Although Xiao Lin was the patriarch of the Xiao Family, he held no authority whatsoever in front of Xiao Xiao.

Hiss...

"Little Brother, you aren't being honest. Tell the truth!" Immediately, the snake mark on Xiao Xiao's forehead flashed with seven-colored light, and a seven-colored phantom darted out, circling behind her while emitting a malevolent aura.

It flicked its tongue incessantly.

It was Xiao Xiao's companion magical beast: the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.

The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python was a top-tier existence among snake-type magical beasts. In ancient times, some powerful Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Pythons were capable of challenging the Ancient Heavenly Serpent.

Challenging? That was merely challenging! The price of failure was being devoured by the Ancient Heavenly Serpent to strengthen its own power.

"Big Sister, don't be impulsive. Yujie sent a message saying that a force has risen in the Black-Corner Region and has nearly unified it. Elder Yue of the Xiao Sect has already perished at their hands!"

Xiao Lin stopped hiding it and spoke directly.

"Killed Elder Yue? Provoked the Xiao Sect? It seems the master of this force has quite an extraordinary identity!" Xiao Xiao frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Big Sister, do you know the name of this force's master?" Xiao Lin revealed a mysterious smile.

"Hmm?" Xiao Xiao snorted coldly. Xiao Lin said anxiously: "Hun Tiandi!"

"What?" Xiao Xiao was completely shocked and said coldly: "Then take the experts of the clan and wipe him out."

"Wait, I checked the seal left by Father, and there hasn't been the slightest change. It should just be a coincidence of names!" Xiao Lin said.

"I am going to the Black-Corner Region for a trip!" Xiao Xiao pondered slightly after hearing this and spoke slowly. Afterward, the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python behind her turned into a seven-colored light and drilled back into the snake mark on her forehead.

As she turned and left, Xiao Lin pondered. He had never doubted his sister's strength, especially with a magical beast like the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python by her side.

Black-Corner Region, Chang'an City.

Hun Tiandi created a Blood Shadow Clone to handle state affairs for him, so the Dazheng Dynasty did not have any backlog of government business while Hun Tiandi was in seclusion.

It operated in an orderly fashion. With the clean-up by General Ye Wudi of the First Legion, some of the bandits and ruffians in the Black-Corner Region either chose to submit or were directly annihilated if they resisted.

"Legion Commander, the First Squad has sent a message. They have already cleared out the target bandits and are returning with the resources of the bandits and ruffians!"

The personal guard beside him said in a low voice. The personal guard was carefully selected by General Ye Wudi and was absolutely loyal to him.

"Not bad. Keep thirty percent of the resources and send the rest to the imperial capital!"

General Ye Wudi drank his tea and said coldly.

"That is General Ye Wudi on the mountaintop!" Not far away, in the dense forest, three experts were hiding, preparing to assassinate General Ye Wudi.

"Do it!" Immediately, the three looked at each other and rushed toward General Ye Wudi on the mountaintop to assassinate him.

General Ye Wudi's expression was indifferent; he sat in his chair and did not get up.

Clang!

The personal guard behind him turned around, glaring at the three, and drew his long saber. Three streaks of blood-colored blade light erupted, striking back upward. The sky was obscured by the blood-colored light, making it impossible to see clearly.

Where the blood light flashed, they vanished into nothingness.

The three personal guards had already sheathed their weapons and turned away, ignoring the figures scattering in mid-air, which fell toward the ground like catkins in the wind.

"Find out who they are," General Ye Wudi said indifferently.

"Sea Wolf Mercenary Group, the three who escaped..." The personal guard quickly reported the intelligence.

"Oh! Clowns!" General Ye Wudi said coldly.

Bronze Tower.

Hun Tiandi had been cultivating for a long time during his seclusion. The immense energy around his body circulated and was slowly absorbed by him, while the purple flame thunder bead above his head rained down energy.

This accelerated the cultivation of the Thunder Emperor Art; Hun Tiandi had now cultivated to the third level.

Energy submerged his entire figure. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and waves of vigorous aura erupted from his body.

Streams of Fighting Qi surged like a flood, rapidly shuttling and converging within his body. Waves of full power filled his physique.

In that peak state, he could transform it into a powerful attack at will.

"Six-Star Dou Ling!"

Hun Tiandi smiled. Since the Source of the Blood God had merged with the spatial energy, every time he leveled up, the energy resources required were several times that of others.

Although he had reached the Six-Star Dou Ling level, he was already invincible at the Dou Ling level and had no opponents. He could even fight against an expert who had just entered the One-Star Dou Wang level.

This was fine. Although leveling up cost more resources, now that the Dazheng Dynasty had been successfully established, there would be people to handle the resources.

He stood up, walked out of the Bronze Tower, and arrived at the Star Palace.

"Young Master Hun, you must be tired. Drink some tea first!" Qing Yue said timidly, quickly bringing over tea.

"Qing Yue, how is your cultivation of the Taiqing Tiangang Art and the Blood Refining Art?" Hun Tiandi asked.

"Replying to Young Master, the cultivation techniques match my Fighting Qi attributes. Cultivating in the Bronze Tower, I have already advanced to the Nine-Star Great Dou Master level!"

"If we are talking about the fastest progress, it is still the Blood Refining Art. I feel that the snake bloodline in my body is becoming increasingly pure. The stronger the bloodline, the faster the cultivation speed."

Qing Yue said slowly.

"Not bad!" Hun Tiandi was somewhat surprised in his heart. This Qing Yue's aptitude was quite impressive!

From a Ninth-stage Dou Zhi Qi, she had actually broken through to a Nine-Star Great Dou Master. Although it was with the help of the Time Tower, this cultivation speed was quite interesting.

"Li Jingzhong!" Hun Tiandi called out.

"This servant is here!" Li Jingzhong had been waiting outside the hall. Upon hearing this, he quickly entered and bowed respectfully.

"Summon Elder Dan," Hun Tiandi said casually.

"Yes!" Li Jingzhong quickly left. Hun Tiandi prepared to go out. The Dazheng Dynasty had just stabilized and needed Elder Dan to hold down the fort. This time, he would only take a few attendants with him.
