333: Chapter 333 Zhu Kun is shocked! Soul Extinction: A bunch of idiots

"I-I-I-Imperial Son-in-law?"

Zi Yan knew very well that the New Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun mentioned was definitely her, so wouldn't "Imperial Son-in-law" mean having Gu Han marry into her Family?

Being accepted by a parent right upon meeting felt great, but she wondered if this status would be an injustice to Gu Han.

However, having an official and legitimate status was excellent.

*Whoosh.*

Zi Yan's face was as red as if she were drunk, her mind wandering to who knows what.

A sense of helplessness suddenly rose in Zhu Kun's heart.

He never expected that the first time he met his own daughter, it would be when she was being kidnapped away.

But Gu Han was indeed outstanding; even by his picky and strict standards, he was a very good choice for an Imperial Son-in-law.

Although he was a doting father, Zhu Kun wasn't the possessive type; rather, he was the kind who truly wanted the best for his daughter.

Furthermore, he felt indebted to Zi Yan, leading him to have a mindset of being almost entirely submissive to her wishes.

"Why is your face so red?" Gu Han placed his hand on Zi Yan's head. "So young, yet always thinking about naughty things."

"You're looking down on me again." Zi Yan reached out and swatted Gu Han's hand away, looking somewhat dissatisfied.

"How could I look down on you?" Gu Han chuckled. "When you grow up, as long as you still want to stay by my side, would I ever push you away?"

"We came here today to talk about serious business."

Gu Han felt that small talk was too tedious, so he decided to get straight to the point.

"Uncle, normally, the Void Ancient Dragon Clan does not fear the Hun Clan."

"But the Hun Clan has the Void Swallowing Flame. I'm not sure if you're aware, but the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor was formed from a Fallen Heart Flame that obtained a special Cultivation Technique and continuously devoured other Strange Flames. The so-called Emperor Flame is actually a fused flame."

"The true top-ranked Strange Flame on the strange fire ranking list should be the Void Swallowing Flame. Like the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, it is unique on the Fighting Qi Continent."

"That Void Swallowing Flame escaped from the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode with the help of the emperor pill embryo, and it knows a lot about the interior of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode."

"The emperor pill embryo is a Semi-Imperial Rank Medicinal Pill refined by the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor after he became an Emperor. It contains the secret to helping a Late Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng Breakthrough to Dou Di."

"In addition, the Hun Clan's schemes run deep; they have laid out arrangements across the entire Central Plains..."

"Even Hun Tiandi calculated in advance that a second Dou Di might appear on the Fighting Qi Continent."

Zhu Kun: "..."

He wanted to interrupt several times but never found the chance.

After listening to Gu Han, he could only sigh in amazement. "If everything you said is true, then this Hun Tiandi is truly quite a character."

Gu Han nodded slightly. Hun Tiandi was indeed a competent and ruthless hero.

Upon discovering Xiao Xuan's attempt to reach Dou Di, he immediately went all out to target the Xiao Clan.

He had schemed for a thousand years to prepare for obtaining and refining the emperor pill embryo.

He even prepared a contingency plan for the possibility of a second Dou Di appearing on the Fighting Qi Continent, laying down the Emperor-Slaying Formation.

But man proposes, God disposes; Divine Ability cannot match fate, and the villain cannot defeat the Protagonist Halo.

Gu Han felt that Hun Tiandi lost to the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, or the firmament tablet.

The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Legacy is essentially related to the Primordial Dharma Body. The Burning Technique is a special Cultivation Technique similar to the Immortal Records, which is a precursor to the Eternal Immortal Body.

In the end, man proposes, God disposes.

"Facing such a well-prepared Dou Di Family, one can never be too cautious."

"I'm in no hurry to open the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode because I have ways to find other opportunities to become an Emperor."

"Senior Zhu Kun, you don't need to worry either. It's better if you leave this place with me first."

Zhu Kun: ???

"Wait." Zhu Kun's massive throat bobbed. "You said... leave with you?"

"Old man, are you stupid?" Zi Yan crossed her arms and lifted her chin proudly. "If it wasn't to save you, why else would we come here? For a visit?"

Zhu Kun: "..."

Since you knew I was imprisoned here, shouldn't you visit if you had the ability?

"You're right." Zhu Kun didn't dare to talk back at all.

Gu Han suddenly felt that it was actually quite good that Zhu Kun was trapped here.

Otherwise, if Zi Yan had been doted on by her father since childhood, she might have been spoiled into the number one Demon Child of the Fighting Qi Continent.

The kind who would turn the Heavenly Demon Phoenix into Beggar's Chicken, Big Plate Chicken, Roasted Chicken, and all sorts of dishes!

"Uncle, this Junior can indeed save you, but it will take some time." Gu Han pointed at the Yin-Yang Great Void Map and the Yin Yang Twin Flames above. "The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor was formed from fused Strange Flames; one can use Strange Flames to usurp his authority."

"With the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, it won't be a problem to help you briefly break free from your shackles and enter the Yin-Yang Great Void Map, as long as we spend some time."

"However, once you are free, the Restriction left by the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor on the gate will be activated, and we must leave this space immediately."

"Therefore, we must succeed in one go and wait for the right moment."

Hearing this, Zhu Kun said indifferently, "Time is the least valuable thing to this Emperor. How long do you say?"

"About three years!" Gu Han replied.

"That short?" Zhu Kun nodded. "Tell me, how do you need this Emperor to cooperate?"

"Uncle, there's no need to rush to cooperate. When the time comes, I will direct you."

"Your top priority right now is to pass the Dragon Emperor Legacy to Zi Yan."

Saying so, Gu Han took out the dragon phoenix origin fruit. "This way, Zi Yan can also better transform into a Dragon Phoenix."

Zhu Kun: ???

Gu Han, you really have given this Emperor a surprise.

"What a dragon phoenix origin fruit! Consider it your betrothal gift to Zi Yan. You can come to propose anytime in the future."

"Old man, you're so noisy. Why should marrying me only cost one dragon phoenix origin fruit?"

"Only?"

"Hmm?"

"Right, right, right. Young friend, work a bit harder."

"When the time comes, this Emperor will prepare more dowry so you won't lose out." (Secretly transmitting via sound transmission)

"Haha, rest assured, Uncle. A mere dragon phoenix origin fruit is just something for Zi Yan to eat for fun; it doesn't count as a betrothal gift."

Zhu Kun: "..."

Such big talk. Is he planning to make me empty out the Void Ancient Dragon Clan for her dowry?

Gu Han: Wouldn't it be fine if the entire Void Ancient Dragon Clan were the dowry?

"Alright, it's time for me to get to work."

"I was originally torn between choosing the Demon Saint Essence Blood or the bodhi heart of the Bodhi Ancient Tree to Breakthrough to Dou Sheng, but now I don't need to worry about it."

As Zi Yan swallowed the dragon phoenix origin fruit and accepted the Dragon Emperor Legacy under Zhu Kun's personal guidance, Gu Han left the space where the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode was located and arrived at the bottom of the Magma World, stretching his limbs.

Suddenly, the surrounding magma became violent, and several creatures with eerie white bodies, upright legs, and long lizard-like tails appeared.

These were Fire Lizardmen, several of whom had reached the level of a Semi-Saint.

Previously, for the sake of speed, he had only dealt with the Fire Lizardmen along the way.

Now, he could start dealing with all of them.

He would slaughter them and obtain their Fire Beads to throw into the Yin Yang Twin Flames.

As the Yin Yang Twin Flames grew, the energy of heaven and earth would feed back into him.

Combined with the Demon Saint Essence Blood, he would soon be able to Breakthrough to Dou Di.

As for the Bodhi Ancient Tree, he planned to make other arrangements.

Time is the most heartless thing in the world.

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

In the Heavenly Hall, one of the three Heavenly Dipper Halls in the Western Region of Central Plains.

Hall Master of the Soul Hall, Soul Mie Sheng, left his place of secluded cultivation and reviewed the intelligence sent from below.

"Hmm?"

When he saw the information regarding Gu Han, he stood up abruptly and roared in a loss of composure, "A bunch of idiots! Why wasn't this matter reported to this Hall immediately?!"
