Chapter 481: The Blood River Trap!
In the northern region of the Central Region, there was a large city named Tianxuan City, located close to the central area of the Central Region.
Within Tianxuan City, the most powerful family was the Situ Clan. The clan’s hidden patriarch, Situ Tianxuan, had already reached the level of an Eight-Star Dou Ancestor. His strength was comparable to that of the Fenglei Northern Pavilion’s master, Tian Leizi.
However, Situ Tianxuan, who appeared to be a peaceful and reclusive family patriarch, outwardly claimed to be in seclusion for cultivation. In reality, he had secretly joined the Hun Hall over a hundred years ago, becoming one of the few Protectors within the organization who still retained their 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 intelligence and support. Additionally, he had constructed a temporary gathering site for Hun Hall members in a desolate mountainous region, roughly 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 place.
As his voice fell, a spot in the space ten feet 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 welcomes Lord Xue Tianzun!"
In the next instant, two overwhelmingly terrifying auras radiated from the distorted space.
From the corner of his lowered gaze, 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 was speculating 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 an existence 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 forge a connection with a terrifying powerhouse like the Fourth Tianzun, Xue He, the benefits would be immeasurable.
"Greetings, Lord Xue He!"
Situ Tianxuan’s voice carried even more effort and reverence than when he had previously greeted Xue Tianzun. His respect was now at its peak.
"I was in the process of—"
Heavenly flame?
Xue He's next question left Situ Tianxuan utterly dumbfounded.
"Lord Xue He, just now... did you ask about a heavenly flame?" Situ Tianxuan asked in confusion.
Xue He frowned deeply and said in a low voice, "Didn't you claim to have discovered a heavenly flame and wanted to offer it to me? But because your strength was too low to retrieve it, you requested that I come in person?"
"What?! There’s absolutely no such thing! I only intended to offer some ordinary treasures. I have no knowledge of any heavenly flame 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 intention?"
As soon as his voice fell, a massive purple fire net, spanning over a hundred meters, suddenly materialized, completely enveloping both him and Situ Tianxuan.
At the moment this purple fire net appeared, the surrounding temperature shot up almost instantly. Even from dozens of meters away, both Xue He and Situ Tianxuan felt an unbearable burning sensation.
Reacting to the intense heat, a thick layer of writhing crimson blood immediately coated Xue He's body as protection.
As for Situ Tianxuan, he hastily activated a protective barrier of dou qi to resist the scorching heat, but given his strength, he could not last long.
In less than ten seconds, as his dou qi energy depleted, his barrier shattered in an instant. The searing heat directly seared his body, causing his skin to turn red and blister rapidly. In mere moments, even his muscles and internal organs swelled under the 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?!"
