508: Chapter 508 Longing and a Plan to Overturn the World
The things Hun Tiandi mentioned were experiences they both shared, which was enough to prove that the projection before her was real.
"Is it really you? I'm not dreaming?"
Glistening tears welled up in Lei Xuanji's beautiful eyes as she immediately lunged toward him, but what was before her was only an illusory afterimage.
Failing to embrace Hun Tiandi, Lei Xuanji gave a bitter smile in her heart, but her lovely face was suddenly overcome with shock.
"Don't come! Leave quickly! This is a death trap specifically set for you. Many experts have laid out an ambush. You must not appear," Lei Xuanji said immediately in worry.
Looking at the anxious Lei Xuanji before him, Hun Tiandi felt a warmth in his heart.
"If I leave, what about you? Are you really going to marry that bullshit Emperor of Daxuan, Emperor Gu Xuan?" Hun Tiandi shook his head slightly.
Hearing this, Lei Xuanji's tears began to flow once more.
"This is fate. This is the treasure I told Cuier to tell you about. Have your person take it away!"
Lei Xuanji flipped her hand and took out a purple bead; it was exactly like the purple flame thunder bead in Hun Tiandi's possession.
Hun Tiandi shook his head. "No, I don't want this bead. Rest assured, I will take you away from the Lei Clan openly and honorably!"
"This heavy treasure is useful to you. Once it merges with the one in your hand, it will be enough to ensure your safety. Everything I've done was for this treasure."
Anxiety flickered in Lei Xuanji's eyes as she spoke immediately.
"I only want you!" Hun Tiandi said firmly.
Hun Tiandi's single sentence caused Lei Xuanji to fall into contemplation, and the unease in her heart faded slightly.
"This situation is too dangerous; you won't succeed. There's Saint Leiyun, the Great Yan Empire, the Void Ancient Dragon lineage, the Gu Clan, the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty, and even some experts I don't know about."
"Countless experts are here just to ambush you. Do not come. They even brought a weapon of mass destruction from the Gu Clan."
Lei Xuanji seemed to remember something and said immediately.
"A weapon of mass destruction?" Hun Tiandi ignored Lei Xuanji's anxiety, instead becoming slightly taken aback upon hearing about the weapon.
Seeing that Hun Tiandi's thoughts were still on the weapon at a time like this, Lei Xuanji didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Yes, the gate of deathly silence? Legend has it that it was left behind by the Hun Clan back then. It's extremely terrifying..." Lei Xuanji seemed to only know a little bit about it.
"Are you sure it's the gate of deathly silence?" Hun Tiandi's projection asked with a strange expression.
"It should be correct! It was brought here this time as well. Hun Tiandi, you should leave quickly and take this treasure with you," Lei Xuanji said once more.
"And what about you?" Hun Tiandi shook his head.
Lei Xuanji bit her lip lightly. "Don't worry, I won't let the Emperor of Daxuan have his way."
Looking at the despairing Lei Xuanji, Hun Tiandi was moved. With her cultivation sealed, if she didn't have a treasure on her, she would be like a fish on a chopping block.
There was only one way she wouldn't let him have his way: to die for love, using death to preserve her purity.
But would Hun Tiandi still have the face to leave?
"Trust me!" Hun Tiandi said with a resolute expression.
At this moment, Lei Xuanji was enveloped in happiness. She wanted to tell him to retreat, but looking at the incomparably overbearing Hun Tiandi, she couldn't bring herself to speak.
"Alright!" A look of infatuation appeared on Lei Xuanji's exquisite face.
"Tell me about their plan. Who is involved?" Hun Tiandi asked.
"Saint Leiyun, the Void Dragon Phoenix Zi Yan, the Second Commander of the Gu Clan's Black Annihilation Army, Saint Gu Xing, two Fighting Saints from the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty, and many Fighting Venerate experts from the Great Yan Empire. There are at least thirty top-tier experts."
Lei Xuanji said with a frown.
"Five Fighting Saints? Fifteen Fighting Venerates? And many Fighting Ancestors... Jie jie jie, they really think highly of Hun Tiandi!"
Hun Tiandi gave a wicked, cold laugh.
Indeed, such a lineup was too powerful. Five Fighting Saints and fifteen Fighting Venerate experts were enough to run rampant across the Fighting Qi Continent.
But all these experts were just to besiege and ambush Hun Tiandi?
To ambush the ruler of an empire?
On the Fighting Qi Continent, let alone the ruler of an empire, even among the top Ancient Eight Clans, the Magical Beast families, or the top powers of the Central Plains, which one would warrant such a formation?
"Yes, and the gate of deathly silence is hidden within the Lei Clan's main hall. This treasure is too powerful. Together with the remaining three gates of deathly silence, it can form the Death Realm Array."
"Legend has it that if a Fighting Venerate expert holds this treasure, they can contend with a Fighting Saint without being disadvantaged!"
Lei Xuanji added.
"Jie jie jie, what a grand undertaking indeed!" Hun Tiandi showed a hint of a strange expression.
The Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty is really going all out. Is it worth it to deal with a seven-star Fighting Emperor?
"Perhaps there are some hidden forces in the shadows that I don't know about..." The worry on Lei Xuanji's face grew increasingly heavy.
But seeing Hun Tiandi's gaze, she naturally trusted him and his calculations.
"You said the gate of deathly silence is in a hall, not on someone's person?" Hun Tiandi asked.
"Yes. The gate of deathly silence is filled with deathly energy. It's too dense, so even a Fighting Venerate expert wouldn't dare to carry it for long. They had it placed in the newly built Hall of Death."
Lei Xuanji said.
"Oh? They aren't afraid of someone stealing it?" Hun Tiandi said in surprise.
"Well, I'll take this subordinate of yours to have a look!" Lei Xuanji stood up and led Wang Ku out of the Saintess Hall.
"You can still move around freely?"
"My cultivation is suppressed, so they don't bother with me anymore. As long as I don't leave the Lei Clan, no one stops me."
Lei Xuanji said indifferently.
"Alright, let's go see!" Hun Tiandi said strangely.
Lei Xuanji's expression turned cold. Escorted by a group of maids, she arrived at the Hall of Death.
It was very vast, with many figures standing around, yet they allowed Lei Xuanji to walk inside and close the doors.
The interior was lit by moonstones. At this time, Wang Ku appeared in the hall, and Hun Tiandi also saw the scene before him.
A pitch-black gate, pervaded by a dense deathly energy that struck fear into one's heart, even causing the surrounding temperature to drop to an extreme low.
Hun Tiandi's gaze narrowed. It was indeed the gate of deathly silence, a heavy treasure of the Hun Clan. Back then, each of the Four Elders of the Hun Clan held one.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, taking a deep breath to force down his emotions.
Pervaded by black deathly energy, it rotated slowly. There were three major restrictions—seals laid by Saint Leiyun, the Dragon Phoenix Zi Yan, and a Fighting Saint from the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty—such that no one could take it away.
"Wang Ku, do you have a way to break them?" Hun Tiandi asked.
"I can. These three seals and restrictions are very strong and would take a long time to break. But as soon as the restrictions are touched, someone will notice!" Wang Ku said.
"So, it can't be taken away?" Hun Tiandi frowned.
"Yes, your subordinate cannot take it away!" Wang Ku shook his head.
"Jie jie jie, since it can't be taken, then I'll add another seal to it. If I can't use it, then no one will!"
Hun Tiandi laughed wickedly. "Hmph, 'Heaven-Overturning', is it? Let's see how you overturn the heavens now."
Following his instructions, Wang Ku revealed a strange expression and cast the strongest seal of the Skeleton Race. Both Lei Xuanji and Wang Ku were startled by Hun Tiandi's idea.
This kind of behavior was a bit too underhanded!
If you won't let me steal it, I won't let you use it either!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The restriction I've set won't be broken within three hours. Moreover, on someone else's gate of deathly silence, they won't even notice my seal," Wang Ku said with a mysterious smile.
"Mhm." Hun Tiandi nodded in satisfaction.
Lei Xuanji watched as Wang Ku completed the seal, fulfilling Hun Tiandi's Heaven-Overturning Plan.
