559: Chapter 559 Tianfu's Scheme to Exclude Guhe

Soon, Liu Wuhen was summoned inside!

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor, long live, long live!"

"Mhm. Wuhen, was this memorial sent by you?"

"Yes!" A hint of confusion appeared on Liu Wuhen's face.

"Burning Flame Valley? So you finally made a move. I wasn't planning on dealing with you so soon, but since you, Tang Huo'er, are seeking death, then let there be war!"

Hun Tiandi looked at the memorial in his hand with a wicked smile.

"Wuhen, pass down the order. Have the Bochade Guard infiltrate Burning Flame Valley..."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liu Wuhen accepted the command.

"You may leave!" Hun Tiandi shook his head slightly.

"Yes!" Liu Wuhen withdrew. With a wave of Hun Tiandi's hand, all the eunuchs in the study left, leaving Hun Tiandi alone.

"Tang Huo'er? Tang Zhen? Fire Cloud Old Ancestor?"

His murmur carried a hint of coldness.

Starfall Pavilion.

Pavilion Master You Quan's face was cold as she looked at the intelligence in her hand. A month ago in the Black-Corner Region, a blood cloud had spanned across the sky above the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty, even triggering the descent of a Heavenly Tribulation.

"What's going on? Could a powerhouse in Dazheng have advanced to the Dou Saint level?"

Pavilion Master You Quan's frigid voice brooked no doubt. In the hall, a middle-aged man had witnessed the terrifying scene of the Blood God's birth with his own eyes.

"Pavilion Master, Dazheng's defenses are extremely tight. It is very difficult for our people to infiltrate the core; they only hold low positions."

"However, I believe the Xiao Family of the Jia Ma Empire has also received intelligence regarding the anomalies in the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty!"

The middle-aged man spoke slowly.

Pavilion Master You Quan nodded upon hearing this.

Burning Flame Valley.

Tang Huo'er was also looking at the intelligence. Not a trace of a smile could be seen on her cheeks, and a terrifyingly high temperature flowed around her body as she planned against Hun Tiandi.

She had already reached an agreement with Pavilion Master You Quan of the Starfall Pavilion.

"You may leave first!" Tang Huo'er waved her hand, dismissing the middle-aged man so she could deliberate carefully.

Pill Tower!

The Dan Ta Three Giants stood in the great hall, exchanging looks; they all saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Back then, the Pill Tower had issued a kill order, but not only did they fail to kill him, but Hun Tiandi had actually grown rapidly during the pursuit.

Now, the territory of the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty had even stretched its hands into the Northern Region of Central State, forcibly tearing away a piece of meat.

"A sea of blood? A Heavenly Tribulation?"

Xuan Kongzi's aged face looked solemn as he spoke softly.

"Xuan Kongzi, can Pavilion Master You Quan's plan finally begin?"

The speaker was Xuan Yi, one of the Dan Ta Three Giants. Her body was as perfect as a ripe peach, and her every move exuded nobility.

Despite being a woman, Xuan Yi possessed a heavy murderous nature. Of those who could sit in the position of the Dan Ta Three Giants, which one was a simple character?

"Tian Leizi, what do you think?" Xuan Kongzi turned to ask the silent Tian Leizi.

"Think thrice before acting. Although the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty is a newly risen hegemon, its foundation is not weak. We still need to clarify the matter of the sea of blood and the Heavenly Tribulation in the report!"

"Back then, the Xiao Family dispatched three Dou Saint powerhouses and three Half-Saint experts... yet they still couldn't wipe out Hun Tiandi. If we strike blindly, the Heavenly Mansion Alliance will surely pay a heavy price!"

Tian Leizi pondered slightly before giving his suggestion.

He then closed his eyes to rest, no longer paying much attention.

Xuan Kongzi nodded slowly, agreeing that Tian Leizi's words made sense and that Pavilion Master You Quan of the Starfall Pavilion was being too reckless.

"Assign more people to keep an eye on Hun Tiandi's every move!" Xuan Kongzi ordered the Pill Tower's intelligence elder to continue observing.

"Yes!"

Saintess Hall!

Feng Qianyou was in secluded cultivation. A vast amount of energy flowed around her, and as she breathed it into her body, her aura strengthened significantly.

The maid waited outside, bored.

"When will the young lady come out of seclusion?" the maid muttered.

Xiao Family!

Xiao Lin sat in the main seat. The hall was filled with experts from the Flame Alliance, and the atmosphere was gloomy, as if a lot of arguing had just occurred.

"Alliance Leader Xiao Lin, according to the information, Elder Gu's disciple, Liu Ling, has become the Vice Head of the Alchemy Institute in the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty. To target Hun Tiandi, we must disintegrate them from within."

An old man in a fiery red robe spoke; his hair and beard were crimson, and his aura was as deep as an abyss.

"Hmph, Gu He, when the Alliance Leader attacked the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty last time, was it you who leaked the information?"

An elder who usually didn't get along with Gu He finally found an opportunity to ostracize him.

In the third row on the left stood a middle-aged man, handsome and elegant, wearing a snow-white robe. His temperament was calm, showing no anger at all.

At this moment, the gazes of many figures in the hall fell upon Gu He.

Even Xiao Lin was no exception.

"Alliance Leader, since I, Gu He, joined the Flame Alliance, though I wouldn't claim great merit, I have been dedicated. I have never betrayed the Flame Alliance."

"As for how my disciple, Liu Ling, joined the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty, I truly do not know..."

"If everyone suspects me, I can resign from my position as an elder of the Flame Alliance!"

Gu He stood up and bowed slightly to Xiao Lin.

"Hahaha, Elder Gu He, don't take it to heart. Everyone is just voicing their own opinions. My father personally invited Elder Gu He to join the Flame Alliance, so I naturally trust you as well."

Seeing Gu He's fierce integrity, Xiao Lin hurried to smooth things over.

Since taking the prestigious positions of Xiao Family Clan Leader and Alliance Leader, his methods of managing subordinates had naturally become quite formidable.

"This matter ends here. Everyone, you may leave!"

"Yes, Alliance Leader!"

Afterward, everyone left the hall.

Leaving Xiao Lin alone, lost in thought. With deep eyes, who knew what he was thinking?

"Uncle Xiao Ding, what do you think of Gu He?" Xiao Lin spoke indifferently.

A middle-aged man walked out from the back hall; it was Xiao Ding. The previous situation had been planned by the two of them.

Using the pretense of ostracizing Gu He to test the various elders of the Flame Alliance...

"From his previous performance, Gu He should truly be unaware. However, since his disciple Liu Ling is in the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty, we must still be on guard!"

Xiao Ding stroked his beard, looking like a strategist with everything under control.

Xiao Lin nodded in agreement.

"Pavilion Master You Quan and Tang Huo'er are still preparing to act according to the plan, using the power of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance to destroy Hun Tiandi in one fell swoop!"

Xiao Ding spoke; the Starfall Pavilion and Burning Flame Valley were unwilling to give up on the plan.

"Fools, they are preparing to strike without even understanding the enemy's strength..." Xiao Lin cursed inwardly.

"What do the Pill Tower and Flower Sect think?"

"The Pill Tower has sent more people to watch Hun Tiandi; it seems they also approve of the plan. The Flower Sect remains silent!"

"Send the intelligence to Pavilion Master You Quan and Tang Huo'er. Tell them not to be impulsive and to wait for an opportunity!" Xiao Lin said.

Xiao Ding nodded slightly upon hearing this.

In a quiet little courtyard, Gu He sat at a stone table, drinking Spirit Wine.

"Xiao Yan, the current Flame Alliance is not the Flame Alliance of the past. I once promised you I would join the Flame Alliance, but now, it can no longer accommodate me..."

Gu He said softly, his voice carrying a hint of bitterness.

Star Palace!

Hun Tiandi sat at his desk, looking at the memorial in his hand. Before him stood Liu Wuhen in a Flying Fish Robe, looking respectful.

"Your Majesty, many new faces have appeared in the Black-Corner Region. I have already sent people to keep an eye on them..." Liu Wuhen reported.

"Do we know which factions they belong to?" Hun Tiandi asked coldly.

"The Xiao Family? The Pill Tower? Burning Flame Valley? And the Starfall Pavilion?" Liu Wuhen did not hide anything and directly listed the names of many forces.

"The Heavenly Mansion Alliance really refuses to give up!"

"I will give you all a memory you will never forget..." Hun Tiandi said with a cold sneer.

"Summon Ao Chuang and Wang Ku!"

"Yes!" Li Jingzhong responded and left the Star Palace.
