675: Chapter 675 A Final Meeting, The Moment of Assassination

If it were anyone else, let alone defeating Nian Kun, with the addition of Cang Chengjun and Gu Ci, they would have long since died during the martial trial.

Hun Tiandi stood by the window; the injuries within his body had fully recovered, though the battle could be described as perilously dangerous.

But the harvest was also immense.

His cultivation had reached the peak of the Dou Zong realm, leaving no room for further progress; he only lacked an opportunity to advance to the Dou Zun level.

Dou Zun experts were the mainstream on the grand stage of the Central Plains.

The Thunder Emperor Art circulated within him, absorbing pure energy from heaven and earth to refine every inch of his flesh and blood, before he suddenly snapped his eyes open.

Atop the main hall of the mountain peak stood a figure dressed in a Nine-Dragon Cloud-Mist Robe, wearing a Pingtian Crown and standing with hands behind his back...

Looking at this figure, Hun Tiandi's pupils constricted slightly as he sensed with his Soul.

Not a single trace of aura leaked out, as if the space he occupied belonged to another time and dimension.

To the naked eye, a figure truly stood there.

“Greetings, Emperor of Da Gan. May Your Majesty enjoy eternal celestial blessings and a lifespan equal to the Heavens!” Hun Tiandi took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.

“Equal to the Heavens?” Nian Haocang let out a contemptuous and playful smirk.

Hun Tiandi was slightly surprised as he witnessed an unbelievable scene.

“Hun Tiandi of the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty!” Nian Haocang suddenly called out indifferently.

Hearing Nian Haocang's words, Hun Tiandi's pupils shrank; the Emperor of Da Gan was indeed paying attention to him, causing waves of shock in his heart.

His expression, however, remained incredibly calm.

Though the Fighting Qi Continent was vast, if the Emperor chose to investigate, nothing could be hidden. But the Black-Corner Region was so far away—how could he be paying attention to the Lingxiao Heavenly Court?

Did Nian Haocang intend to harm him? No, with his cultivation, killing him wouldn't be difficult.

“Hun Tiandi greets the Emperor of Da Gan!” Hun Tiandi spoke again, his expression composed.

“Not bad! As a ruler, one should have this poise—remaining unfazed even if the heavens collapse!” Nian Haocang showed a hint of appreciation.

Hun Tiandi stood up straight; as the lord of an Imperial Dynasty himself, he could not show psychological weakness.

“To be favored by Ao Sihai, you are indeed a notable character. That girl Youyou has her heart set on you!”

“If she lives well, it can be considered a fulfillment of her biological father's kindness!”

Nian Haocang sighed slightly.

“The Emperor of Da Gan overpraises me!” Hun Tiandi took a deep breath, his heart settling. It seemed he was still benefiting from his connection to Youyou.

“That plan was originally about to begin, and you were not among the invited. However, this time you displayed your value—both literary and martial talent. Only then did I consider you!”

“Tonight's meeting is to invite you to take part in a great undertaking!” Nian Haocang said indifferently.

“Oh? What matter?” Hun Tiandi was puzzled. What could there be on this continent that would make a Sovereign of the Celestial Dynasty so serious?

“The destruction of the Cangtian Holy Land!” Nian Haocang said firmly.

“What? One of the three great Holy Lands, the Cangtian Holy Land?” Hun Tiandi exclaimed. Before coming to the Western Regions, he had even participated in the Cangtian Grand Ceremony.

With the appearance of the Three Great Buddhas, the Cangtian Holy Land was at its peak—and extreme prosperity often leads to decline.

“I have invited the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty and the Great Jiang Heavenly Dynasty. Together with the Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty, we will pool the strength of three Celestial Dynasties to overthrow the Cangtian Holy Land and seize their Karma!”

Nian Haocang carried a hint of killing intent, his gaze deep as he looked toward the direction of the Cangtian Holy Land.

“I accept!” Hun Tiandi pondered slightly before speaking calmly.

When Nian Haocang revealed this plan, he had no choice but to agree.

“Good. Finally, I must remind you: Youyou now possesses a Divine Grade Bloodline. You must protect her well, and let her make her own choices!”

Nian Haocang seemed to think of something as he spoke indifferently.

Hun Tiandi's expression shifted, a flicker of joy crossing his eyes. If the Emperor of Da Gan did not interfere, he would have more confidence in taking Princess Youyou away.

“Understood! No one shall harm Youyou!” Hun Tiandi nodded.

Swoosh!

Immediately after, a whistling sound approached at high speed. Looking up, it was a beautiful figure—Princess Nian Youyou.

“I won't disturb you two!” Nian Haocang left those words behind as his figure vanished into thin air.

Hun Tiandi turned to look at Princess Nian Youyou, joy appearing in his eyes. This trip to the Western Regions was finally a success.

“Are your injuries alright?”

Princess Nian Youyou landed before him, her exquisite face filled with worry.

“I'm fine!” Hun Tiandi smiled slightly, pulling the lovely woman into his arms to feel a moment of warmth.

A flush of crimson appeared on Princess Nian Youyou's cheeks as she slowly closed her beautiful eyes, feeling his strong heartbeat.

She greedily inhaled his familiar scent.

While the two were quietly enjoying this moment of warmth, Cang Chengjun's expression was dark. He had failed the task the Buddha had entrusted to him.

“Saint, we should strike first to gain the upper hand. Kill Hun Tiandi directly. Once he is dead, the so-called literary and martial trials will no longer count!”

A grey-haired Elder spoke with a cold voice, his eyes flashing with a chilling light.

Hearing this, Cang Chengjun's eyes glittered. With the strength of a Ban Sheng Elder, assassinating a Nine-Star Dou Zong ant would not be difficult.

“Act tonight. Kill Hun Tiandi, seize the precious pill, and leave immediately once it's done!”

“Yes!” the Elder complied, looking toward Hun Tiandi's direction with bloodthirsty eyes.

“Second Highness, shall we return to the dynasty next, or continue waiting?” Meanwhile, a guard behind Gu Ci spoke respectfully.

“We return tomorrow!” Gu Ci said helplessly. The mission from the Emperor of Daxuan was considered a failure.

To attempt an assassination of Hun Tiandi within the Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty would be pure suicide; it would be a provocation to the Emperor of Da Gan's majesty.

Gu Ci was not that foolish!

In a restaurant, four figures were discussing!

“Qingluan, you leave first! You cannot participate in the upcoming battle!” Saint Feng, wrapped entirely in a black robe, turned to look at the worried Mu Qingluan.

“Teacher...” Mu Qingluan said unwillingly.

“Be obedient. Yun Yun, Fairy Hua, and I will strike together to assassinate Hun Tiandi and seize the precious pill!” Saint Feng's face was full of killing intent.

The moment of assassination—the target was Hun Tiandi!

Deploying a Four-Star Dou Sheng expert, along with one low-level Ban Sheng and one high-level Ban Sheng at once.

If word of this got out, no one would likely believe it.

“Move!”

The three, including Saint Feng, turned into streaks of light and flew toward the Gantian Side Hall.

“Yun Yun, you go seize the precious pill. Fairy Hua and I will strike to kill Hun Tiandi!” Saint Feng quickly assigned the tasks.

Yun Yun headed toward the precious pill exhibition.

“A dark night and high winds—truly a pair of ill-fated lovers!” the black-robed Saint Feng said coldly, looking at Hun Tiandi and Princess Nian Youyou as they embraced.

“Wind-Severing Finger!”

Without any nonsense, he struck immediately. Green wind-attribute Fighting Qi swept out, condensing into a physical-looking green finger before him.

An incredibly sharp and destructive aura locked onto Hun Tiandi.

“Shattered Jade Flying Flowers!”

The black-robed Fairy Hua followed closely, striking without mercy. She was filled with resentment toward the culprit who had destroyed the Flower Sect.

Surging Fighting Qi poured out, condensing into countless petals that flew and gathered into a lotus, shimmering with a jade-like luster and looking exceptionally vivid.

But the more beautiful the flower, the more poisonous its power.

“purple flame thunder bead!”

Hun Tiandi's expression changed. Seeing the endless killing intent in the eyes of the two black-robed figures, he flipped his hand to shield Princess Nian Youyou behind him.

With a flick of his palm, a purple bead flickering with lightning hovered above his head, releasing countless bolts of electricity.

With a series of crackles, two pillars of lightning condensed and crashed violently toward the two attackers.

Ssh...

Silver light flashed beneath his feet as his figure retreated explosively.

“Do you think it's that easy to leave!”

Saint Feng sneered. With a thunderous tremor, the giant green finger pointed toward them, followed by the jade-like lotus speeding through the air.

Boom!

In mid-air, the attacks of the two collided with the lightning pillars, stirring up boundless energy and creating transparent ripples that impacted the surrounding halls.

The explosions destroyed everything.

Pfft!

Hun Tiandi was hit by the shockwave, blood spraying from his mouth as he was thrown backward, crashing into Princess Nian Youyou before vomiting blood again.

He fell heavily to the ground, his life or death unknown.

“Assassins! Quick, pursue them!” The sounds of battle drew the elites of the Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty, and various experts flew over quickly.

“Let's go, powerful experts are coming!” Fairy Hua's face changed as she sensed several massive auras emerging.

The black-robed Saint Feng also knew they were in trouble, and his figure sped off into the distance.
