472: Chapter 472 Reunion with Lei Xuanji, Great Xuan Dynasty

Hum!

While Hun Tiandi was recovering his Dou Qi, three figures streaked towards the mountain peak, aiming directly at the location of Hun Tiandi and Mud Bodhisattva.

Mud Bodhisattva flicked his sleeve, and a blue light fell onto the ground and vanished.

He pinched his fingers, transforming into an invisible wave that spread out into the distance.

After making preparations, the speeding figures finally appeared; it was Lei Xuanji, along with the two Dao Protectors following beside her.

"So you really are here." Lei Xuanji looked at the familiar figure with an excited expression.

"Who are you?" Mud Bodhisattva asked coldly.

"I am his empress." Lei Xuanji got straight to the point. Her voice reached the ears of Mud Bodhisattva and the two Dao Protectors, and all three were stunned.

Upon hearing this, Mud Bodhisattva did not dare to make another move and let Lei Xuanji pass.

Lei Xuanji moved with graceful, lotus-like steps, arriving beside Hun Tiandi, who was sitting cross-legged recovering from his injuries. He was covered in blood, and blood-colored Dou Qi circulated around him. The energy of heaven and earth gathered around his body, being refined into pure Dou Qi and absorbed into his body.

Boom!

Violent lightning Dou Qi circulated around his body, kicking up a monstrous aura.

"Who hurt him?" Lei Xuanji's cold voice reached Mud Bodhisattva's ears, a trace of shock rising in her heart.

"I do not know!" Mud Bodhisattva said indifferently.

Upon hearing that Miss Xuanji was this young man's empress, the two Dao Protectors frowned slightly, feeling somewhat confused.

"Empress? Could this young man be the crown prince of an empire?" In reality, both of them had guessed wrong; Hun Tiandi was not an imperial crown prince, but the master of the Dazheng Dynasty, an emperor.

Now was not the time to ask questions, and the three of them waited for a long time.

A day and a night later, Hun Tiandi finally woke from his cultivation. He opened his eyes, and a flash of red light flickered in their depths.

He happened to see a familiar figure; it was Lei Xuanji again.

Lei Xuanji was drinking tea, looking at Hun Tiandi with a smile. She chuckled, "What a silly look? Do you not recognize me?"

Hun Tiandi gave an awkward smile, stood up, walked over to the table and chairs, and sat down. He picked up a cup of tea and asked gently, "Why did you come to the Dead Soul Mountain Range?"

"Tsk tsk, isn't it because someone caused a huge disaster in the Central Plains? If I hadn't come, I'm afraid there would be no one to collect your corpse."

Lei Xuanji said without the slightest hesitation.

How could Hun Tiandi not know that she was talking about him provoking the Pill Tower, which had issued a Pill Tower Execution Order? After receiving the news, Lei Xuanji had come out of seclusion, left the Lei Clan, and rushed toward the Central Plains.

"Thank you!" Hun Tiandi took a deep breath and said indifferently.

Seeing Lei Xuanji again, Hun Tiandi was very happy. The two talked for a long time, sharing information, and both gained a great deal.

"Xuanji, do you know this person named Emperor Gu Xuan?" Hun Tiandi asked solemnly.

"Emperor Gu Xuan, the master of the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty, is an ambitious and talented hegemon. He governs a Heavenly Dynasty with countless experts and a deep foundation; it is a top-tier power in the Central Plains."

"The key is his origin; his background comes from the Gu Clan, one of the Ancient Eight Clans. There is the influence of the Gu Clan behind him."

"Five years ago, Emperor Gu Xuan sent people to the Lei Clan to propose marriage, wanting to take me as his consort. I refused directly, and the clan leader also refused."

Upon hearing that Hun Tiandi wanted to inquire about Emperor Gu Xuan's background, Lei Xuanji did not hide anything.

Thud!

Hearing this, Hun Tiandi did not speak. He tapped his fingers on the table, making muffled sounds, and fell into deep thought.

This scene, in the eyes of the two Dao Protectors, seemed a bit like biting off more than he could chew.

The Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty, with Emperor Gu Xuan as the sovereign, was not only a master of a Heavenly Dynasty but also had the support of the Gu Clan behind him. Even the Lei Clan would not want to cause such a power too much trouble.

"Don't be impulsive. When your strength is insufficient, do not provoke Emperor Gu Xuan." Lei Xuanji advised.

Hun Tiandi nodded slightly, a wicked, charming smile appearing on his face.

"I encountered Fairy Tianyin from Sound Valley in the Dead Soul Mountain Range. What a coincidence; Sound Valley hasn't walked the continent for a long time."

Lei Xuanji spoke suddenly, her gaze burning as she looked at Hun Tiandi.

"Tian Yin?" A trace of helplessness flashed in Hun Tiandi's eyes; he didn't want to see her just yet.

"Let's go, to a place of opportunity in the Dead Soul Mountain Range." Not thinking about it anymore, they all stood up and sped towards the depths of the Dead Soul Mountain Range.

Ten minutes after they left, Fairy Tianyin arrived at the mountain peak with two old women.

She had sensed five auras earlier, but now no one was there.

"Hun Tiandi, do you still not want to see me?" Tian Yin said softly, carrying a trace of resentment.

I don't know how long it had been, but Hun Tiandi watched as the cold mist grew thinner. On a very high hillside, at the end, was a valley surrounded by mountains on all sides.

A hundred-zhang-large ancient black palace, like a crouching super magical beast, permeated a terrifying aura in the cold environment.

"This is... the Hall of Souls?" One of the Dao Protectors behind Lei Xuanji exclaimed.

Looking at the massive structure in the valley, he gasped. To create something like this in a dangerous place like the Dead Soul Mountain Range, only the Hall of Souls, which had rampaged across the continent back then, would have such capabilities.

A trace of surprise appeared in the depths of Hun Tiandi's eyes. After so many years, someone actually knew of the Hall of Souls.

"This place... has been set with a spatial barrier..." Mud Bodhisattva spoke suddenly.

Hun Tiandi stepped forward. The space in front of him was somewhat distorted. He extended his right hand, forced out a drop of essential blood, and formed hand seals with lightning speed.

A blood-colored rune was formed. If there were any people from the Hall of Souls here, they would discover that this blood-colored rune was the clan emblem of the Hun Clan.

Hum!

He pushed with both hands, and the blood-colored rune flashed, landing on the spatial barrier and merging into it. It surged like flowing water, forming a blood-colored portal.

Hun Tiandi took a deep breath and said indifferently, "Let's go in!"

He was the first to enter the portal, and the four people behind him looked at each other and followed him in.

Not long after, they arrived in front of the ancient black palace. Hun Tiandi seemed to fall into memories. The Hall of Souls? The Hun Clan?

Creak!

Pushing the door open, they entered a plaza. Before them were black stone pillars a hundred zhang tall, like stabilization pillars, covered in countless eerie runes.

Pitch-black chains extended from the stone pillars, crisscrossing and connecting across the plaza.

At the ends of the chains, light orbs were suspended, each containing an illusory soul body with an expression of great pain.

"This is..." Lei Xuanji exclaimed.

"It is just an illusion. This is where the Hall of Souls used to be, a place for extracting soul origins after capturing souls back then." Hun Tiandi said indifferently.

The Hall of Souls was notoriously vicious and possessed monstrous power on the continent back then; even the top-tier powers of the Central Plains were unwilling to provoke them.

The ancient palace was filled with dead silence and eeriness, permeating the plaza, with an atmosphere of grim death everywhere.

While Hun Tiandi was entering the Dead Soul Mountain Range, a beautiful figure in white clothes sped over from outside, looking at the mountain range filled with cold mist.

A flash of determination flickered in her eyes; the person who arrived was the Pill Tower Saintess, Feng Qianyou.

After learning that the Pill Tower had issued an Execution Order, she had left the Pill Tower and spent some time gathering information.

Many people rumored that Hun Tiandi had entered the Dead Soul Mountain Range, so she had rushed over without stopping.

Swoosh!

Her figure flickered, and she dove straight into the cold mist, disappearing from sight.

"Master, this matter is finished; let us go to that place of opportunity!" Emperor Gu Xuan's expression was somewhat ugly; if it hadn't been for that mysterious Feng Shui Master blocking them...

...they would have long since obtained the opportunity in the depths of the Dead Soul Mountain Range.
