BTTH: I married Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate our marriage!

Chapter 237: Five-Star Dou Saint, The Descent of the Demonic Flame!



With just a glance from Hun Tiandi, all the elders withdrew from the hall.

"Nihility, for now, all we can do is wait. Recently, Gu Yuan has been monitoring our clan closely. It's nearly impossible to wipe out the other ancient clans without him noticing," Hun

Tiandi said heavily.

He couldn't understand why the Gu Clan, which had always been aloof and arrogant, suddenly changed its approach. Could it be that the Hun Clan's years of planning had been exposed?

"Hun Tiandi, I've said before that your mid-level members shouldn't know too much. Who knows when the entire plan might be leaked?" Nihility Devouring Flame remarked, his tone carrying a hint of blame.

Hearing this, Hun Tiandi's brow slightly furrowed, clearly displeased. 'This Nihility Devouring Flame truly thinks he's the master of the Soul Clan?'

'If I didn't still have use for you...' the Soul Heavenly Emperor thought to himself, suppressing the coldness in his heart. For now, Nihility Devouring Flame couldn't die- his powers were still crucial for dealing with the other clans.

"The final plan is known only to the true upper echelon of the clan. There's no chance of a leak. The Gu Clan is probably just acting on suspicion," he explained patiently. "With time, Gu Yuan will naturally lose interest in this matter."

Nihility Devouring Flame, aware of Hun Tiandi's strength, didn't press further.

"That Gu Clan brat should be dealt with as soon as possible. Even I am somewhat fearful of his monstrous talent," Nihility Devouring Flame added. Given his endless years of experience, his words carried weight.

To be a Four-Star Dou Saint at just twenty-seven years old, and also a Ninth-Tier Alchemist, was an extraordinary feat, even in ancient times.

"That matter should be taken care of by Miesheng," the Soul Heavenly Emperor said lightly. "That Gu Clan brat needs a Heavenly Flame, and when the Demonic Flame descends, it will be his death."

"Miesheng? Demonic Flame..." Nihility Devouring Flame raised an eyebrow at first, but then nodded as if realizing something.

In the Ancient Realm, on the mountain where Gu Fei resided.

A year had passed in the blink of an eye. Gu Fei had briefly mentioned the Soul Hall's recent conquests on the mainland but hadn't paid much attention. These minor matters could easily be handled by the Gu Clan's dispatched forces. His primary focus now was on improving his cultivation.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

One day, a massive surge of energy began to gather around the mountain peak. Inside a meditation chamber, Gu Fei sat quietly, his heart now replaced by the Bodhi Heart, radiating a soft green glow.

Suddenly, the quiet room was filled with a strange, flowing sound, reminiscent of water. The source of the sound was none other than Gu Fei's body.

As the sound emerged, the space around him started to ripple intensely, and waves of tangible energy swirled around him, forming powerful wind vortices.

The vortex spun faster and faster, drawing in more energy until the meditation chamber itself was torn apart, scattering in a dazzling burst of light.

"Looks like Father is about to break through again!" In the sky above, Wushuang watched with admiration. The older he got, the more he understood how strong and exceptional his father was.

As the son of the Gu Clan's foremost prodigy, Wushuang's talent was already showing signs of surpassing even Gu Fei's youth.

"Dear, another breakthrough!" Xiao Yi Xian exclaimed as she floated in midair, watching alongside Xian Yue. During this time, Zi Yan and Cai Lin had both gone into seclusion, leaving Xiao Yi Xian to manage the family on her own. Thankfully, the children were growing up well, and Qing Lin and Ling Xi were there to help.

Under their gaze, the energy being drawn into the vortex intensified, becoming almost overwhelming. Eventually, the vortex grew thick and viscous, with droplets of energy forming and radiating a terrifying aura.

As more energy condensed into liquid form, the vortex gradually transformed into a swirling mass of energy liquid.

After just a few minutes, the final drop of energy condensed and merged into the enormous energy whirlpool.

*Boom!*

The moment the wind vortex fully transformed into a liquid energy whirlpool, the entire structure trembled violently. Gu Fei, still in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes, unleashing an overwhelming aura.

This powerful surge of energy would place him among the top ten in the entire Gu Realm. "The Young Clan Leader has grown even stronger!"

"At this rate, it won't be long before the Young Clan Leader rivals Elder Gu Dao!"

"Elder Gu Dao is a Seven-Star Dou Saint! When that day comes, the Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan will become the Four Immortals!"

Around the mountain, many young members and elders watched in awe.

"Not yet thirty, and his cultivation has already reached Five-Star Dou Saint. It won't be long before this boy reaches my level," Gu Lie thought from afar, his old eyes filled with satisfaction.

At the same time, on Xun'er's mountain, energy began to surge.

"Miss Xun'er is about to break through to Half-Saint!"

Though her breakthrough wasn't as dramatic as Gu Fei's, it still drew the attention of many in

the Ancient Clan.

After the breakthrough, Xun'er appeared in the sky, her face glowing with vitality and confidence. For someone her age to reach Half-Saint was truly remarkable.

"So young and already a Half-Saint. Miss Xun'er truly has divine blood," someone remarked.

"Though she still has a long way to go compared to the Young Clan Leader, she's far stronger than any of us..."

Xun'er, feeling the rise in her cultivation, could hardly contain her excitement.

"The Gu Clan truly lives up to its reputation as the strongest of the ancient clans. Not only is my master a peerless genius, but everyone else is strong too," Ling Xi murmured beside Xian Yue, her eyes filled with admiration. In contrast, the bloodline power of her Ling Clan had been waning for years. Without a miraculous genius, the clan would likely decline further in a

few hundred years.

Little did she know that if it weren't for her master, the Ling Clan would no longer exist today, and its people would have been enslaved by the Hun Clan.
