BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 359: The Arrival of the Soul Hall Venerate!

“No, the Han family wasn’t involved, it was just that young girl… She managed to block my blade with her bare fists. When she truly attacked, it only took a single strike to severely wound me, and everyone else was killed instantly by that one move!”

After swallowing a pill to recover some of his injuries, Hong Liang began recounting the earlier events in detail.

“She looks so young, yet she can withstand weapons with her body and defeat eight of you in one strike. Such methods, even I can’t achieve…”

Listening to Hong Liang's account, Hong Li pondered for a moment before exclaiming in shock, “Could she be one of those… a seventh-tier, Dou Ancestor-level transformed magical beast!”

“That’s what I think too!” Hong Liang sighed helplessly.

“Big brother, if that young girl is really a transformed magical beast, just imagine how terrifying her master must be!”

“If her master turns their wrath on the Hong family, we’re doomed!”

The two Dou Emperor experts who had come with Hong Li, recalling that Ziyan and Han Yue were sisters in training, couldn’t help but express their fear.

“You must not reveal today’s events to anyone!”

Hearing their analysis, Hong Li’s face turned extremely grim. After warning the two not to leak any information, he turned to Hong Liang with a tense expression.

“Fourth brother, did that young girl learn of your identity?” Hong Li asked in a low voice.

Recalling the situation, Hong Liang replied, “My identity… At the time, I only mentioned that I was seeking revenge for Tao’er. She didn’t seem to react to that at all. In fact, after injuring me, she showed no concern for whether I lived or died.”

Upon hearing this, Hong Li’s expression grew even more serious.

“You fool! You actually mentioned Hong Tao’s name! Now she’ll definitely know you’re from the Hong family!” Hong Li roared in anger.

“Hong Li, this is my fault. If any trouble arises, I’ll bear it alone!” Hong Liang gritted his teeth and responded passionately.

“How will you bear it? That young girl’s master might not even be someone our ancestor can deal with!” Hong Li sneered at Hong Liang’s stubborn attitude.

For a moment, Hong Liang was left speechless, his eyes filled with regret.

After a long silence, Hong Li let out a heavy sigh and said, “I’ll arrange for someone to take you and that brat Hong Tao out of Tianbei City. We’ll announce to the public that you died in a battle outside the city. Until I get a clear understanding of that girl’s background, you must not associate with the Hong family!”

Hearing Hong Li’s decision, Hong Liang’s emotions were complicated, but he nodded in resignation.

“Fifth brother, handle the situation here. Sixth brother, you come with me to the Han family!”

Having made his decision, Hong Li slowly stood up and spoke to the two behind him.

“What are we going to the Han family for at a time like this?” one of them asked in surprise.

“To apologize!”

…

In the back mountains of the Jia Ma Empire’s Yunlan Sect, in the Nine-Colored Valley, Gu He, who was cultivating beside Yun Yun, suddenly opened his eyes.

Moments earlier, a message had come to his mind—Ye Ming, a respected elder of the Soul Hall who had implanted a puppet seed, had managed to contact his superior and successfully convinced him of the fall of the Heavenly Flame, Fallen Heart Flame. The two were now rushing at full speed from the Central Plains to the Black-Corner Region.

Based on the information Gu He had received from Ye Ming, he deduced that his superior’s strength might have reached the level of a six-star Dou Venerate.

Though his clone’s strength might allow him to fight someone of this level, capturing him entirely would be difficult.

“It seems I’ll have to take action myself this time,” Gu He muttered to himself as he slowly stood up.

“Husband!”

Noticing Gu He suddenly rise, Yun Yun, who was cultivating beside him, called out to him.

“Yun’er, I need to make another trip to the Black-Corner Region. There’s some urgent business I must handle,” Gu He explained straightforwardly.

“How long will you be gone?” Yun Yun asked softly, her eyes filled with warmth.

“At most, half a month! Perhaps I might return even earlier,” Gu He replied.

“Then hurry and come back! Maybe by the time you return, Liu Ling and Xian'er will have come back as well!”

Hearing that Gu He had urgent business and would return within half a month, Yun Yun sensibly did not insist on accompanying him.

“Then, I’m off!”

With those final words, Gu He’s figure silently vanished from the Nine-Colored Valley.

In no time, Gu He had left the Yunlan Sect’s territory. Considering the speed of the Soul Hall Venerate, it would take about five or six days to reach the meeting point with Ye Ming. To avoid any mishaps, Gu He decided to arrive ahead of time.

…

Four days passed in the blink of an eye. Traveling at full speed, Gu He finally reached the Black-Corner Region and soon arrived at a desolate valley, as agreed upon with Ye Ming. He waited patiently.

Through his connection with Ye Ming, Gu He estimated that the Soul Hall Venerate would arrive in about eight hours.

At this moment, Gu He carefully concealed his aura, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.

To ensure everything went smoothly, Gu He even had his clone halt cultivation and hurry to the location.

…

“Ye Ming, are you sure there’s a Fallen Heart Flame here? Why haven’t I sensed even the slightest trace of the Heavenly Flame?” A red-haired elder traveling with Ye Ming frowned as he spoke, less than two hundred miles away from Gu He’s valley.

“Lord Blood Venerate, I swear it’s true! I clearly saw the Fallen Heart Flame, and it was definitely unclaimed,” Ye Ming explained loudly in response to the red-haired elder’s doubts. “Besides, if the flame’s aura spread far, wouldn’t others have discovered it long ago?”

The Blood Venerate, still somewhat skeptical, said, “Fine. If the flame is indeed here, I’ll make good on my promised reward.”

As they spoke, the two increased their speed, and soon the small valley where Gu He and his clone were waiting came into view.

From the clone’s position, a faint aura of the Fallen Heart Flame was deliberately leaked, heightening the Blood Venerate’s anticipation as he neared the valley.

As the Blood Venerate approached, he suddenly detected a different, faintly unusual aura.

“Someone’s here!”

His steps quickened, and with a glance, he saw a white-robed man sitting at the bottom of the valley. The aura of the Fallen Heart Flame was emanating from this man.

Seeing this, Ye Ming, receiving orders from Gu He, quickly said, “Lord Blood Venerate, he hasn’t refined the flame yet! Let’s stop him!”

“This guy is just a four-star Dou Venerate, and he dares to think he can claim such a treasure? Truly ignorant!” the Blood Venerate scoffed, filled with disdain for the white-robed man below.
