647: Chapter 647 Xiao Yu, in the Imperial Court

"Someone from the Yan Clan?"

Their gazes met, cold light flashing in the depths of their eyes as they clashed in mid-air, making even the air become scorching and dry.

Boom!

As their eyes met, two clusters of flames, one blue and one red, erupted before them, their scorching aura directly incinerating the stalls on the street.

Extreme cold and extreme heat exploded; Hun Tiandi took three steps back, a trace of paleness appearing on his handsome and demonic face.

As expected, Huo Zhi's strength was terrifying, possessing an overwhelming advantage over him.

"It's on fire..." the stall owners on the street cried out in alarm as some Medicinal Pills and Heaven And Earth Treasures were reduced to ashes.

Startled, the surrounding people quickly pulled away to a safe distance.

The Yan Clan? This was a power that could stand alongside the Gu Clan and the Xiao Clan; its strength was naturally of a considerable level.

It seemed that the top powers of the Central Plains had all been attracted here, temporarily hiding in the shadows.

"As expected, my enemies have all come..."

Hun Tiandi shook his head slightly and turned to leave, flicking a finger to let a gold coin card fall into the stall owner's sleeve as a small compensation.

Of course, in the battle of the Central Plains, the Alliance of clans including the Yan Clan, Gu Clan, Xiao Clan, Lei Clan, Pill Tower, and the Void Ancient Dragon had ultimately defeated him.

Having set out for revenge, he had already destroyed the Heavenly Mansion Alliance; the Flower Sect, Starfall Pavilion, and Burning Flame Valley were essentially wiped out, with only a few survivors remaining.

Hun Tiandi would never give them another chance to unite; if he could dismantle them or win them over to the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty's side...

It would mean having a few fewer enemies.

He would not repeat the same mistakes. While thinking, he felt a needle-like gaze on his back and suddenly turned around.

He happened to see Yun Yun and Mu Qingluan, both staring at him with extreme hatred.

"Defeated opponents. If he had broken through to the Dou Zun level, he would have long since moved to kill these people..."

Hun Tiandi shook his head and returned to the small courtyard.

"Did he discover us?" Mu Qingluan asked with a grim expression.

"Yes. He didn't make a move, likely because the matter of the life-prolonging treasure pill hasn't been settled yet. Let's wait for an opportunity!" Yun Yun's jade-like hands clenched until they creaked, her cold voice flowing.

"Xiao Yu has also come to Gantian City; she's likely targeting Hun Tiandi as well!" Saint Feng said indifferently.

"Teacher, can we use Xiao Yu's strength to find an opportunity to eliminate Hun Tiandi?" Mu Qingluan spoke slowly.

"No rush. During the last battle at the Lingxiao Heavenly Court, the Xiao Family also suffered extremely heavy losses, and Xiao Ding's injuries are not light. This time, we'll use the opportunity of the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill to set a trap and kill him!"

"To avenge those who died in the Heavenly Mansion Alliance!" Saint Feng said in a low, resonant voice.

"Aunt Xiao Yu, is there a chance?" Xiao Yingjie asked with a gloomy face.

"No!" Xiao Yu shook her head and spoke slowly: "Be patient!"

At a sparsely populated street corner, Hun Tiandi suddenly stopped and looked up, meeting the eyes of Xiao Yu and Xiao Yingjie.

Especially Xiao Yu; standing casually, she exuded an extremely dangerous aura that spread out around her.

"Someone from the Xiao Family?" Hun Tiandi spoke calmly.

"Xiao Yu of the Xiao Family!" Xiao Yu announced her identity, her killing intent surging like a tide, with no intention of hiding it.

Beside her followed the young man Xiao Yingjie, who looked at him with a face full of hatred.

"Hun Tiandi, you deserve to die! You've provoked my Xiao Family several times and killed Xiao Yujie..." Unable to restrain himself, Xiao Yingjie moved his palm, and a streak of Fighting Qi swept across like a long whip.

Young and impulsive, he was the first to strike.

Xiao Yu frowned slightly, seemingly displeased with Xiao Yingjie's move.

"You mean the Master of the Pan Sect in the Black-Corner Region, Xiao Yujie?"

"It doesn't matter if I tell you one more thing; that woman named Xiao Xiao was also heavily injured by this Sect Leader!"

Hun Tiandi smiled evilly, informing them of the reason for Xiao Xiao's heavy injuries.

"So it was you!" Xiao Yu and Xiao Yingjie were instantly enraged. Xiao Lin had once sent people to investigate but found nothing, not knowing who the culprit was. And because Xiao Xiao was unconscious, she could not reveal the true culprit.

"How insolent!"

Seeing Xiao Yingjie strike, Liu Ling suddenly appeared and blocked him. With a clench of his hand, that sharp streak of Fighting Qi exploded and shattered.

The resulting terrifying shockwave caused the ancient trees at the corner to crumble into powder.

This exchange was instantly blocked by Liu Ling.

"Liu Ling, you dare to betray the Flame Alliance and the Xiao Family?" Xiao Yu turned to look at Liu Ling and scolded him.

"Flame Alliance? Xiao Family? Betrayal? What a heavy accusation. I, Liu Ling, cannot bear such a title. My teacher, Gu He, worked tirelessly for the Flame Alliance and never slacked. Yet, those in the Pill Hall, for the sake of power and profit, excluded and marginalized him, and even sent people to hunt him down in the end!"

"This is the Flame Alliance, this is the Xiao Family. Truly wonderful!"

Hearing this, Liu Ling retorted with a sneer, seemingly feeling that it wasn't worth it for his teacher.

Xiao Yu fell silent, knowing that some people in the Flame Alliance had indeed gone too far over the years.

"Liu Ling, your teacher Gu He once promised Xiao Yan to join the Flame Alliance. Come back; I will personally explain things to the Clan Chief!" Xiao Yu was still trying to persuade him, seemingly wanting to poach Hun Tiandi's subordinate.

"Forget it!" Liu Ling refused.

"Xiao Yu, did the Xiao Family send you to kill me?" Hun Tiandi said calmly, standing with his hands behind his back.

"Hun Tiandi, hand over the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, and my Xiao Family can let you go this time!" Xiao Yu turned to look at him, her cold voice ringing out.

A Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill was the rarest Medicinal Pill on the Fighting Qi Continent. Even a power like the Xiao Family, which had Alchemists, was unwilling to give it up.

"Jie jie jie, a Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill? You don't have the fortune to consume it!"

Hun Tiandi refused firmly, then turned and left with Liu Ling.

"Aunt Xiao Yu, his strength is only that of an Eight-Star Dou Zong. Why not move to wipe him out?" Xiao Yingjie asked, puzzled.

"What do you take Gantian City for? If we strike and draw the wrath of Emperor of Da Gan, none of us can hope to leave alive!"

Xiao Yu said coldly. How could she not know this was a good opportunity? But the Western Regions were not the Jia Ma Empire where the Xiao Family could act lawlessly.

"Let's go!" Xiao Yu suppressed her anger and turned to leave.

Inside the Gantian Side Hall.

"Your Majesty, it seems the situation is even worse than we imagined. People from the Yan Clan, the Xiao Clan, and even Saint Feng have appeared. Who knows how many experts are in the shadows?"

Liu Ling frowned.

"Jie jie jie, trouble is normal. If things were too smooth, the path of my growth would be quite boring!" Hun Tiandi smiled faintly.

He didn't take the enemies outside to heart at all.

Although he had the strength of an Eight-Star Dou Zong, he was not at all afraid. Perhaps it wouldn't be bad to see the Prodigies of the younger generation.

Since founding the empire, Hun Tiandi's opponents had all been experts of the older generation.

He had almost forgotten that he himself was just a young man. The hot blood in his body began to boil.

Two days later, during the Dagan morning court, in the Gantian Holy Palace!

Hun Tiandi stepped into the hall. Civil and military officials stood on both sides, and in the center was the high and mighty Holy Emperor of Dagan, Nian Haocang, looking so sacred and inviolable.

He only recognized Marquis Mu Yuan.

"Hun Tiandi of the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty greets Emperor of Da Gan. May Your Majesty enjoy celestial blessings forever and have a life as long as the heavens!" Hun Tiandi gave a slight bow.

"You come representing the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty. For what matter?" Nian Haocang asked.

"Dagan is the celestial empire of the Fighting Qi Continent, a model for the world. However, we are far apart. To promote friendship between our two empires, I have brought various specialty spirit fruits and countless Spirit Wines from Dazheng!"

"At the same time, I request a Yellow Plum Fruit from Your Majesty, the Holy Emperor of Dagan, as a token of the friendship between our two empires!" Hun Tiandi said.

"Granted!" Nian Haocang said indifferently.

Soon, several eunuchs came over carrying jade trays. Hun Tiandi took out the spirit fruits and Spirit Wines of the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty and placed them on the trays.

There were countless spirit fruits and piles of Spirit Wine. The entire hall was filled with the delicate fragrance of fruit and the mellow aroma of wine.

Taking a breath, one felt as if all the pores in their body had opened. The spirit fruits were all rare and precious.

And the Spirit Wine was High Grade Earth Rank Spirit Wine...

External things are just external things after all. Above the imperial court, who among them wasn't a figure who had seen great scenes? Looking at the spirit fruits and Spirit Wines, there was amazement.

But more so, there was indifference.

After the handover, a eunuch came over carrying a golden fruit.

The fruit was as large as a fist, with countless tiny golden runes that seemed to be alive.

An Eighth-Grade spirit fruit, the Yellow Plum Fruit!

Hun Tiandi nodded slightly, then took out a jade box and packed it away.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the Holy Emperor of Dagan!" Hun Tiandi gave a slight bow.
