Chapter 481: The Blood River Trap!

  In the northern region of the tral Region, there was a rge city ianxuan City, located close to the tral area of the tral Region.

  Within Tianxuan City, the most powerful family was the Situ . The ’s hidden patriarch, Situ Tianxuan, had already reached the level of a-Star Dou Aor. His strength was parable to that of the Fenglei Northern Pavilion’s master, Tian Leizi.

  However, Situ Tianxuan, eared to be a peaceful and reclusive family patriarch, outwardly cimed to be in seclusion for cultivation. Iy, he had secretly joihe Hun Hall over a hundred years ago, being one of the few Protectors within the anization who still retaiheir physical bodies.

  Situ Tianxuan had kept this secret well, to the extent that even his own family remained unaware of his allegiance.

  His primary duty was to covertly assist the Hun Hall’s Protectors in their missions, providing them with intelligend support. Additionally, he had structed a tempathering site for Hun Hall members in a desote mountainihly two to three hundred miles outside Tianxuan City.

  For the past few days, Situ Tianxuan had been waiting at this mountain gathering site daily.

  "Lord Xue Tianzun instructed me to wait here over ten days ago. I wonder when he will arrive," Situ Tianxuan murmured under his breath as he stood in pce.

  As his voice fell, a spot in the space te ahead of him suddenly began to distort violently.

  Sensing the spatial fluctuations, Situ Tianxuan immediately adjusted his posture to one of utmost reverence. Bowing deeply toward the disturbance, he called out in a loud voice, "Your subordinate, Situ Tianxuan, respectfully weles Lord Xue Tianzun!"

  In the instant, two overwhelmingly terrifying auras radiated from the distorted space.

  From the er of his laze, Situ Tianxuan caught sight of two blood-red figures emerging.

  "Who is that other person? Why does his aura feel even more terrifying than Lord Xue Tianzun’s?" Situ Tianxuan wondered nervously, his heart pounding.

  "Situ Tianxuan, this esteemed individual is the Hun Hall’s Fourth Tianzun, Lord Xue He. Show your respects immediately!"

  Just as Situ Tianxuan eg about the unknown figure, an irritated voice reached his ears.

  The Fourth Tianzun!

  Hearing this, Situ Tianxuan’s heart skipped a beat.

  Among the nine great Tianzuns of the Hun Hall, the Fourth Tianzun was aence of unfathomable strength. That such a figure had personally arrived here naturally made him nervous. Yet, alongside his apprehension, there was also a sense of excitement.

  After all, if he could fe a e with a terrifying powerhouse like the Fourth Tianzun, Xue He, the bes would be immeasurable.

  "Greetings, Lord Xue He!"

  Situ Tianxuan’s voice carried even more effort and reverehan when he had previously greeted Xue Tianzun. His respect was now at its peak.

  However, despite his dispy of utmost deference, Xue He—who stood beside Xue Tianzun—did not spare him even a single gnce.

  "Teacher, the treasure I mentioned before is precisely the ohat Situ Tianxuan intends to offer," Xue Tianzun transmitted a message.

  Hearing this, Xue He finally gave a slight nod.

  Meanwhile, Xue Tianzun turoward Situ Tianxuan, who remained bowing, and said in a anding tone, "Lord Xue He has personally arrived. Lead him to retrieve the treasure immediately!"

  Lead Lord Xue He to retrieve the treasure?

  Situ Tianxuan was momentarily taken aback. However, he quickly pieced together the situation.

  "So, Xue Tianzun intends to present the treasure I was going to offer directly to Lord Xue He!"

  Realizing this, Situ Tianxuan couldn’t help but feel a surge of gratitude toward Xue Tianzun.

  Lifting his head, he spoke with the utmost respect, "Lord Xue He, the locatiohe treasure is stored is somewhat far from here—"

  "Stop wasting time ahe way!"

  Before he could finish his sentence, Xue He interrupted him with a sharp reprimand.

  The instant Xue He spoke, Situ Tianxuan immediately shut his mouth and dared not utter another word.

  As he turo lead the way, Xue Tianzun suddenly spoke again, "Teacher, please proceed there first. I have some matters to handle here and will join you shortly."

  "Mm."

  Hearing Xue Tianzun's words, Xue He did not give it much thought and simply nodded.

  In the moment, he followed behind Situ Tianxuan, leaving the gathering pce hidden in the desote mountains.

  ...

  Situ Tianxuahe way ahead. Although he was thrilled to have the rare opportunity to be aloh Xue He, for some reason, he did not dare to start a versation with him.

  When they had traveled over a hundred miles from the gathering pce, a strange feeling suddenly crept into Xue He's heart. He stopped and called out to the man ahead. "You're called Situ Tianxuan, right?"

  Hearing Xue He address him directly, Situ Tianxuan was overwhelmed with joy. He thought to himself, "This is great! I finally have a ce to speak with Lord Xue He!"

  "Rep to Lord Xue He, yes, I am Situ Tianxuan!" he replied excitedly.

  "How did you discover that there was a heavenly fme in that valley?"

  "I was in the process of—"

  Heavenly fme?

  Xue He's questio Situ Tianxuan utterly dumbfounded.

  "Lord Xue He, just now... did you ask about a heavenly fme?" Situ Tianxuan asked in fusion.

  Xue He frowned deeply and said in a low voice, "Didn't you cim to have discovered a heavenly fme and wao offer it to me? But because your strength was too low to retrieve it, you requested that I e in person?"

  "What?! There’s absolutely no such thing! I only inteo offer some ordinary treasures. I have no knowledge of any heavenly fme at all!" Upon hearing Xue He's words, Situ Tianxuan was utterly shocked and frantically shook his head.

  Hearing this, a chilling aura burst from Xue He's body as he muttered darkly, "He dared to deceive me? What is his iion?"

  As soon as his voice fell, a massive purple fire , spanning over a hundred meters, suddenly materialized, pletely enveloping both him and Situ Tianxuan.

  At the moment this purple fire appeared, the surrounding temperature shot up almost instantly. Even from dozens of meters away, both Xue He and Situ Tianxua an unbearable burniion.

  Reag to the intense heat, a thick yer of writhing crimson blood immediately coated Xue He's body as prote.

  As for Situ Tianxuan, he hastily activated a protective barrier of dou qi to resist the scorg heat, but given his strength, he could not st long.

  Ihan ten seds, as his dou qi energy depleted, his barrier shattered in an instant. The seari directly seared his body, causing his skin to turn red and blister rapidly. In mere moments, even his muscles and internal ans swelled uhe unbearable heat. Eventually, his entire body exploded, leaving behind only a horrifyingly exposed white skeleton.

  Seeing how quickly Situ Tianxuan perished, Xue He roared in fury, "Xue! I taught you skills, bestowed you a name, and this is how you repay me?!"
