Just then, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing came from a distance.

Dai Mubai still had that hearty smile on his face, but there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.

Zhu Zhuqing was as cool as ever, with light steps but a hint of worry in her eyes.

The two walked up to Lu Yu, and Dai Mubai said, "Lu Yu, in the competition last night, you really gave Davis a warning.

However, I advise you to be careful, my elder brother is not a pushover. "

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Dai Mubai: “Mubai, you seem to know Davis very well.

Tell me, what might he do next?"

Dai Mubai was silent for a moment, with a complicated look in his eyes: “Davis is the eldest son of the Xingluo royal family and has been trained as an heir since he was a child.

He is very scheming and his methods are cruel.

You made him lose face in front of everyone last night, he will definitely not let it go.

especially……"

He paused, lowering his voice a few notches, "I have a good relationship with you, and you might use me to make a fuss."

Zhu Zhuqing added: "Mu Bai's identity is a sensitive topic in Xing Luo.

Davis and Dai Tianfeng's attitude towards him seemed calm, but in fact they were harboring murderous intentions.

Lu Yu, since you are standing with us, they may also regard you as a threat."

Lu Yu nodded, and his assessment of the situation became clearer.

The complex relationships within the Xingluo royal family far exceeded his initial expectations, and Dai Mubai's identity was undoubtedly a key chess piece in this game.

He looked at Dai Mubai and said firmly, “Don’t worry, Mubai.

As long as I am here, it won’t be easy for them to touch you.”

Dai Mubai grinned, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes: "Good brother, you are so loyal!"

At this moment, a guard came over quickly and reported in a low voice: "Lord Lu Yu, His Highness Xue Qinghe wants you to come to the main hall to talk, saying that there is something important to discuss."

Lu Yu and Dai Mubai and others looked at each other and became secretly alert.

He nodded and followed the guards to the main hall.

Ning Rongrong looked at his receding back and murmured, "This guy always gets into trouble."

In the main hall, Xue Qinghe sat in the main seat, holding a scroll of letters in his hand, his eyes as calm as water.

Seeing Lu Yu coming in, he smiled slightly and waved his hand to signal the guards to retreat: "Lu Yu, sit down."

Lu Yu sat down as he was told, his eyes swept over the letter in Xue Qinghe's hand, and he had a vague guess in his heart: "Your Highness, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Xue Qinghe handed the letter to Lu Yu and said in a low voice: “This is a secret letter from Tiandou last night.

The Xingluo royal family is secretly preparing an action against our exchange group. I have not yet fully figured out what the action is.

But one thing is certain, their goal is not only to test our strength, but may also involve a larger conspiracy."

Lu Yu took the letter, glanced at it quickly, and frowned slightly.

The information mentioned in the letter was vague, but the words revealed that the Xingluo royal family was colluding with certain hidden sects, intending to create chaos during the exchange, and might even take the opportunity to weaken Tiandou's power.

He returned the letter to Xue Qinghe and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, how do you plan to deal with this?"

Xue Qinghe's eyes flashed, and his tone was somewhat tentative: "Lu Yu, I said that I want to cooperate with you.

This trip to Xingluo is an opportunity.

If you can help me resolve this crisis, I promise that your position in Tiandou will be unmatched."

He remained calm on the surface, and said calmly: "Your Highness, I appreciate your kindness.

But I am only a soul master, I am afraid I cannot take on such a big responsibility.

Besides, Xing Luo's conspiracy is not yet clear, so we should first find out their true intentions."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Xue Qinghe's eyes, but he immediately smiled again: "Okay.

Lu Yu, I believe in your ability.

In the next few days, you should pay more attention to the movements of Dai Tianfeng and Davis. If there is anything unusual, let me know immediately."

Lu Yu nodded and stood up to say goodbye.

After leaving the main hall, he stood in the courtyard, his eyes cast towards the city wall in the distance, his thoughts surging in his heart.

Xue Qinghe's proposal was both a temptation and a trap.

He must find a balance between the Xingluo royal family and the Tiandou royal family, otherwise if he is not careful, he may become a victim of the game between the two parties.

At the same time, far away in the Xingdou Great Forest of the Tiandou Empire, Dugu Yan was at the critical moment of breakthrough.

The poisonous fog surrounding the lake was so thick that it was almost impossible to dissolve. Her Green Phosphorus Snake King martial spirit emitted a faint green light, echoing with the spirit ring of the Ten Thousand Year Green Phosphorus Poisonous Python.

Her face was as pale as paper, beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her body was trembling slightly, but her eyes were as firm as iron, revealing an unyielding will.

"Must succeed..."

Dugu Yan clenched her teeth, her soul power running wildly, the light of the soul ring flowed through her body, turning into powerful forces that impacted her meridians.

Her soul power is rising at an alarming rate, and she is only one step away from reaching the Soul Emperor realm.

However, just as she was concentrating on absorbing the soul ring, a dark shadow approached quietly from the depths of the forest.

The black shadow was thin, holding a glowing dagger in his hand, and his eyes revealed a cold murderous intent.

His aura was obscure and strange, and he was obviously a soul master who was good at assassination.

He stood behind an ancient tree, his eyes fixed on Dugu Yan, and whispered to himself: "Dugu Bo's granddaughter... If I kill you, Poison Douluo will be dead."

The black shadow approached silently, and a layer of dark purple soul power condensed on the dagger, emitting deadly poison.

He leaped suddenly and stabbed Dugu Yan's back with the dagger.

However, at this critical moment, Dugu Yan suddenly opened her eyes, and the shadow of the Green Phosphorus Snake King roared out behind her, and a poisonous mist turned into a barrier to block the attack of the dagger.

"Who?!"

Dugu Yan roared angrily, her soul power exploded, and poisonous fog spread around her, enveloping the black shadow.

The black shadow was caught off guard and corroded by the poisonous mist, letting out a painful roar.

"Hmph, looking for death!"

Dugu Yan snorted coldly and activated his fifth soul skill: "Green Phosphorus Poisonous Domain!"

The poisonous fog condensed instantly and turned into countless poisonous snakes that pounced on the black shadow.

The black shadow flashed and tried to escape, but the poisonous snake was extremely fast and instantly entangled his legs.

"what--!"

The black shadow let out a scream, his body was corroded by the poisonous mist, and his soul power quickly depleted.

He glared at Dugu Yan with gnashing teeth and said in a hoarse voice: "Dugu Yan, just wait, the Spirit Hall will not let you go!"

"Martial Soul Hall?"

She didn't expect that this assassination was actually related to the Spirit Hall.

She sneered, waved her hand, and the poisonous snake completely devoured the black shadow, turning it into a pool of black water.

The absorption of the soul ring was still continuing. Dugu Yan suppressed the shock in her heart, closed her eyes again, and concentrated on breaking through.

After a moment, a powerful soul power fluctuation burst out from her body, and the sixth soul ring slowly emerged - a deep purple soul ring, emitting terrifying pressure.

"Soul Emperor..." Dugu Yan opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, but was immediately replaced by worry.

Why did the assassins from the Spirit Hall appear in the Star Dou Great Forest? And why did they target her? She clenched the Poison Spirit Amulet in her hand and made up her mind: "Brother Lu Yu, I must become stronger and never hold you back."

In Baihu City, Lu Yu's days did not become peaceful because of the end of the competition.

Davis' provocations became more frequent, and the Xingluo royal family's temptations never stopped.

That evening, Davis came in person, accompanied by two Soul Saint-level guards, and arrived at the exchange group’s residence in a menacing manner.

"Lu Yu, the last competition ended in a draw, so I came here today to ask for your advice!"

Davis stood in the courtyard, his voice loud and somewhat provocative.

Lu Yu walked out slowly, his eyes calm, "Master Dai, if you want to compete again, I will accompany you.

However, if it is just for testing, why go to so much trouble? "

Davis sneered: "Testing? Lu Yu, you are too arrogant.

Today I just want to see how capable your Tiandou Junjie is! "

Lu Yu said no more, his soul power exploded, and the shadow of a thunder and lightning phoenix emerged.

Davis came here not just to exchange ideas, but to take the opportunity to find out his background.

He took a deep breath, and the lightning gathered in his palm, turning into a lightning spear: "Come on!"

A cold light flashed in Davis' eyes, and the White Tiger Martial Spirit burst out, and the fifth soul skill was directly activated: "White Tiger Destroying God Claw!"

His body was as fast as lightning, his sharp claws tearing through the air, and he pounced straight on Lu Yu.

Lu Yu's figure flashed, and the lightning field expanded instantly. Countless lightning turned into an electric net, covering Davis.

Davis's claws hit the electric net with a sharp explosion, and his body was knocked back several steps.

"What a strong field!"

Davis gritted his teeth and burst out his soul power again, trying to break through the power grid.

However, Lu Yu's lightning field was far beyond his imagination. The electric grid was not only tough, but also had a strong paralyzing effect, which gradually slowed down his movements.

"Master Dai, if this is all you have, you should go back and practice for a few more years."

Lu Yu sneered, and thrust out the lightning spear suddenly, pointing directly at Davis' chest.

At this moment, a powerful soul wave came from a distance, and Dai Tianfeng suddenly appeared in the field. With a single hand wave, he dissolved Lu Yu's lightning spear: "That's enough! Little friend Lu, that's enough."

Lu Yu restrained his soul power and glanced at Dai Tianfeng coldly: "Senior Dai, since you have come forward, I will naturally give you face.

However, if Young Master Dai comes to provoke me again, don't blame me for being rude."

Dai Tianfeng's eyes flashed with a complicated light, and he said in a deep voice: "My dear Lu, the Xingluo royal family has no ill intentions, they just want to get closer to the heroes of Tiandou.

Let’s leave it at that for today.”

Davis glared at Lu Yu unwillingly, then turned and left with his guards.

Lu Yu looked at their backs and was secretly alert.

Dai Tianfeng's appearance was obviously to protect Davis, but it also exposed the Xingluo royal family's trump card - their fear of Lu Yu had reached the point where they had to take action themselves.

That night, Xue Qinghe summoned Lu Yu again, and his tone was a bit solemn: "Lu Yu, the actions of the Xingluo royal family are becoming more and more obvious.

I received information that they may have set up an ambush in the buffer zone with the intention of harming us.

What suggestions do you have? "

Lu Yu pondered for a moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Your Highness, since they want to play dirty tricks, we might as well use calm to overcome the pressure.

Continue to keep a low profile on the surface, but secretly send people to monitor their movements.

If they really dare to take action, I don't mind letting them see the strength of Tiandou."

The night in Baihu City was so dark that the starlight was obscured by thick clouds. The patrolling torches on the city walls swayed in the wind, casting mottled light and shadows.

Lu Yu stood in front of the window of the residence, holding a jade slip in his hand, his eyes as deep as the abyss.

He could feel that the Xingluo royal family's temptation was getting closer and closer, and Xue Qinghe's "cooperation"

The proposal was more like an invisible net that he had to handle with caution.

The shadow of the Thunder Phoenix loomed behind him, and the soul power slowly flowed in his body, bringing a hint of warmth, but it could not dispel the uneasiness in his heart.

Outside the courtyard, the night breeze brought a hint of coolness, mixed with whispers from afar.

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his soul power spread out, catching several obscure auras roaming around the base.

Although these auras were deliberately suppressed, they could not escape his perception - obviously, the Xingluo royal family did not restrain themselves because of the competition in the daytime, but instead secretly strengthened their surveillance on the exchange group.

He sneered, a flash of lightning appeared at his fingertips, and the jade slip was put into his sleeve.

The real crisis is coming.

"Lu Yu, are you still awake?"

Tang San's voice came from outside the door, low and steady.

He pushed the door open and walked in, followed by Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. The three of them looked solemn.

Lu Yu turned around and glanced at the three people: "Did you feel it too? There's something wrong with the air tonight."

Tang San nodded, a sharp look flashed in his eyes: "I just patrolled around and found that there were several unfamiliar soul power fluctuations around the station.

I'm afraid the people from Xingluo don't intend to let us spend the night in peace."

Dai Mubai frowned and clenched his fists: "Davis and Dai Tianfeng have never been good people.

Since they dare to monitor us so blatantly, they probably have a plan.

Lu Yu, what are your plans?"

Lu Yu pondered for a moment, his eyes deep: "Use stillness to overcome movement.

Since the Xingluo royal family wants to play dirty, we will give them this opportunity.

Tang San, you and Zhu Qing will be responsible for secretly monitoring their movements. Mu Bai, you will stay at the base to protect Rongrong and the others.

I'll go meet Xue Qinghe and see how much he knows."

Zhu Zhuqing's cold eyes swept over Lu Yu: "It's too risky for you to go see Xue Qinghe alone.

Although he is the crown prince of Tiandou, no one can fully guess what he is thinking. "

Lu Yu smiled slightly, his tone relaxed: "Don't worry, I know my limits.

Xue Qinghe wants to win me over, but it depends on whether I am willing to be his pawn. "

The three of them said nothing more and went their separate ways, preparing for the coming storm.

Lu Yu straightened his clothes and walked towards Xue Qinghe's residence alone.

In the night, his figure was like a shadow, blending silently into the darkness.

Xue Qinghe's room was brightly lit. The guard in front of the door saw Lu Yu, saluted respectfully and retreated.

Lu Yu pushed the door open and saw Xue Qinghe standing in front of the window, holding a cup of tea in his hand and looking into the distance.

His expression was as calm as water, yet it revealed an elusive depth.

"Lu Yu, you're here just in time."

Xue Qinghe turned around, smiled slightly, and motioned him to sit down, "I just received news that the Xingluo royal family has set up an ambush in the Black Wind Canyon in the buffer zone, and the target is our exchange group.

What do you think we should do? " (End of this chapter)
