BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM-Chapter 481: The Blood River Trap!
Chapter 481: The Blood River Trap!
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.
However, despite his display of utmost deference, Xue He—who stood beside Xue Tianzun—did not spare him even a single glance.
"Teacher, the treasure I mentioned before is precisely the one that Situ Tianxuan intends to offer," Xue Tianzun transmitted a message.
Hearing this, Xue He finally gave a slight nod.
Meanwhile, Xue Tianzun turned toward Situ Tianxuan, who remained bowing, and said in a commanding 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 location where the treasure is stored is somewhat far from here—"
"Stop wasting time and lead the 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 turned to 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 next moment, he followed behind Situ Tianxuan, leaving the gathering place hidden in the desolate mountains.
...
Situ Tianxuan led the way ahead. Although he was thrilled to have the rare opportunity to be alone with Xue He, for some reason, he did not dare to start a conversation with him.
When they had traveled over a hundred miles from the gathering place, 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 chance to speak with Lord Xue He!"
"Reporting to Lord Xue He, yes, I am Situ Tianxuan!" he replied excitedly.
"How did you discover that there was a heavenly flame in that valley?"
"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?!"
