I Believe Him

"I don't like him at all."

Gu Xun'er said firmly.

"The only reason I approached Xiao Yan was because he was the son of the clan leader. Everything I did was to complete the task my father gave me."

"You don't like Xiao Yan? But do you like me?"

Lei Dong asked.

"Of course I like you!"

Seeing Lei Dong's doubtful expression, Gu Xun'er answered almost without hesitation.

"Fine! Since you dislike Xiao Yan, and the reason you approached him was because he is the son of the Xiao Clan Chief, and everything was to complete the task given to you by Clan Leader Gu Yuan, then why do you have such a deep-seated hatred for Huo Xuan?"

Lei Dong suddenly asked.

"In the Gu World, it is widely rumored that you were in love with Xiao Yan, a good-for-nothing from the Xiao Clan, and that Huo Xuan killed him, so you are sworn enemies with him. Since you don't like him, where does the deep hatred between you and Huo Xuan come from?"

Where did this deep-seated hatred come from?

Upon hearing this, Gu Xun'er was greatly shocked, but on the surface she remained extremely calm. Faced with Lei Dong's questioning, Gu Xun'er quickly came up with a clever answer, "It's because he stole the Tou She Ancient God Jade from the Xiao Clan!"

What is the source of this deep-seated hatred?

Huo Xuan stole the Tou She Ancient God Jade from the Xiao Clan and took what was in her possession.

Gu Xun'er attributed the origin of the enmity to Tou She Ancient God Jade.

The Tou She Ancient God Jade was a priceless treasure to the Ancient Eight Clans Eight Clans, and each of them harbored their own ulterior motives in order to obtain it.

She harbors a deep hatred for Huo Xuan because Huo Xuan stole this treasure.

Looking at Lei Dong, who seemed half-believing and half-doubting, Gu Xun'er ran her slender fingers across her Storage Ring, took out a White Porcelain Jade Bottle from the Storage Ring, and tossed it to Lei Dong.

Lei Dong instinctively caught it, examined it closely, and then asked, "What is this?"

"Just a few Eighth Grade Pill."

Gu Xun'er smiled.

"It's probably poison..."

Lei Dong stared at the jade bottle in his hand for a moment before speaking, "The pills are probably problematic. Are you giving me a bottle of poison so I can help you harm people?"

"Huo Xuan is an ambitious person. I think he will definitely not be content to stop at the Dou Sheng level in the future."

"Oh? So Huo Xuan's goal is to become Dou Di?"

Lei Dong toyed with the jade bottle in his hand and said casually.

"Hasn't his actions already proven it? If he didn't want to break through to the Dou Di, then why did he steal the Tou She Ancient God Jade?"

Gu Xun'er replied.

"This guy is no good. He has completely wiped out the Xiao Clan. For the sake of the Tuoshe Ancient Jade, his evil claws will eventually reach out to us."

"For the sake of the Gu Clan, and for the sake of your Lei Clan, why don't we join forces? If we join forces, we're sure we can take down Huo Xuan in the Heavenly Tomb!"

Gu Xun'er said confidently.

"Hehe, Huo Xuan is not to be trifled with. His cultivation has now reached the Peak Seven-Revolution Dou Venerate. Among the sixteen people who entered the Heavenly Tomb, besides him, there is no other person who has stepped into the Nine Revolutions Realm. Among the sixteen people, Huo Xuan is undoubtedly the strongest!"

"You and I are merely Nine-Star Dou Zun, our cultivation levels are far inferior to Huo Xuan's. Even if we joined forces, we wouldn't be a match for him. What makes you so confident that you can defeat Huo Xuan?"

"That's why I gave you the pill." Gu Xun'er pointed to the jade bottle in Lei Dong's hand and smiled, "Since we can't deal with him openly, we can resort to a sneak attack. As long as Huo Xuan takes the pill, and we join forces, he'll be dead for sure!"

Lei Dong opened the jade bottle, and inside, six golden pills lay quietly.

"Six?"

Upon seeing the number of pills in the jade bottle, Lei Dong frowned slightly and instantly understood that Xun'er not only wanted to deal with Huo Xuan, but he also estimated that she wanted to deal with the two members of the Medicine Clan, and the remaining pills were probably for them.

The Flame Clan's Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi, the Medicine Clan's Yao Tian and Yao Ling, along with him and Lei Luo, six people in total, and exactly six pills.

"The Yan and Yao clans are allies, and they've already mixed up. It would be best if we could eliminate them all at once. As for the pills, they're only part of the plan. Only if you also take the pills will they not become suspicious. But don't worry, Lei Dong, I will give you the antidote afterward."

Gu Xun'er rushed into Lei Dong 'Lei Dong arms, wrapped her arms around his body, and snuggled tightly in his Lei Dong.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. How could I possibly harm you? If you don't believe me, I can give you the antidote right now."

"Heh, an antidote? More likely it's just another kind of poison!"

Lei Dong sneered, then shoved Gu Xun'er aside and threw the jade bottle containing the Poison Pill heavily to the ground!

"Bang!"

The jade bottle shattered, and six pills rolled out. Coincidentally, a few of the pills rolled to Lei Dong's right foot. Without any hesitation, Lei Dong raised his right foot and crushed them into powder.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Gu Xun'er was stunned; she had never expected Lei Dong to react this way.

As the saying goes, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman.

Last time, I also used my beauty to successfully persuade the Lei Clan to agree to an alliance with the Gu Clan.

Why isn't Lei Dong buying into this this time?

This time, things shouldn't be the same as last time. After much pleading and cajoling, Lei Dong finally agreed to cooperate with her.

When he gave the pill to Huo Xuan and had her take it, she finally succeeded in killing Huo Xuan and avenging her Brother Xiao Yan.

Now it seems that this is very different from what she expected.

Another area of Heavenly Tomb.

On the vast and desolate land, a firelight flickered in and out of sight. Four figures, two men and two women, sat cross-legged around a blazing fire.

Yao Tian gazed at his younger sister who was cultivating, and murmured, "The High-Level Energy Core I've acquired over this period have been quite good..."

Thinking of this, Yao Tian turned his gaze to Huo Xuan, who was protecting Huo Zhi. Every Energy Body that attacked them was turned into Energy Core by him. With Huo Xuan, they would occasionally borrow the Energy Core he collected. During this time, their cultivation level increased rapidly!

"Yeah! Your cultivation speed has increased, but I haven't been so lucky..."

Huo Xuan weighed a cloth bag containing Energy Core in his hand, but there were very few Energy Core in the bag.

He had already reached the Peak Seven-Revolution Dou Venerate. To accumulate Dou Qi once again, condense and compress it, and successfully break through to the peak of the eighth level, he needed to devour a considerable amount of energy.

During this period, he collected quite a few Energy Core, but some of these Energy Core were devoured by Huo Zhi and others were borrowed by Yao Tian. He could only devour a very small number of Energy Core.

"It's just a little Energy Core. I remember all the details clearly. In the outside world, it's probably only equivalent to Eighth Grade Pill. I'll return it to you when I get back."

"I've also put your share on your tab..."

"Knew."

Yao Tian casually tossed a branch beside him into the fire, saying with a hint of helplessness.

When Huo Xuan mentioned Yao Ling, Yao Tian felt helpless towards this younger sister. She was just too competitive. Among the four of them, she was the weakest. She was eager to improve her strength, but at the same time, she was also very concerned about her reputation.

During this period, they found a large number of high-level Energy Body. In the end, all of these Energy Body were hunted down by Huo Xuan, and their Energy Core naturally fell into his hands.

The Heavenly Tomb Third Layer is filled with a large amount of pure energy. This pure energy will continuously seep into their bodies. With this energy infusion, even without searching for Energy Core, they can still achieve good cultivation results.

However, to improve their strength as quickly as possible, they cannot rely solely on this energy; Energy Core are essential. But they have very few Energy Core. During this period, the Energy Core obtained from hunting Energy Body were mostly on Huo Xuan. If they wanted Energy Core, they could only borrow them from Huo Xuan.

However, Yao Ling was very concerned about her reputation and couldn't bring herself to ask Huo Xuan for the Energy Core. Therefore, the matter of borrowing the Energy Core fell entirely to Yao Tian, the older brother...

"Let's not talk about this anymore. The Heavenly Tomb is isolated from the world. You once said that Gu Xun'er would not let go of any opportunity to kill you. She will never let go of this opportunity, and she will never do it openly..."

As he spoke, Yao Tian threw the remaining branches beside him into the fire and asked.

Is Lei Dong credible?

"Believable."

Huo Xuan answered without the slightest hesitation.

"Are you so sure he won't end up with Gu Xun'er? They're engaged!"

"I believe him. I don't think Lei Dong is a fool who controls his upper body with his lower body..."
