Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air
Chapter 538 A guilty conscience
The news that Ning Fengzhi and Dugu Bo were about to go out was obtained by Tang Shang through private inquiries, and the possibility of it being a setup is very small.
But Seahorse Douluo still couldn't understand why things were so strange.
The moment he conceived a wicked idea, Ning Fengzhi and Dugu Bo voluntarily made room for him; this was far too coincidental.
Tang Shang looked slightly embarrassed, touched his nose, and said, "Your Majesty, is it possible that you have a guilty conscience?"
“During a theft, the slightest disturbance will alert the thief, making him suspicious and paranoid. But if the thief wasn't stealing, but instead invited by the owner to tour the treasure vault, would he still be so suspicious and attentive to the slightest noise around him?”
Seahorse Douluo frowned.
That's the logic, but he still felt uneasy.
However, persuaded by Tang Shang, Seahorse Douluo attributed it to his upright conduct throughout his life and his high status on Seagod Island. The first time he harbored thoughts of stealing, he felt an instinctive resistance.
After taking several deep breaths, the seahorse douluo's resistance gradually dissipated. He said, "Keep a close eye on Ning Fengzhi and Dugu Bo's movements. We'll make our move the moment they leave Tiandou City."
……
On the continent of Sun and Moon, Wu Qi awaited Hunter.
Hunter had assumed that the other party had encountered great trouble on this continent, or that they were facing an insurmountable situation.
He was furious when he learned from Wu Qi that he was to take Zhao Chenggong and Wu Qingtian back to Douluo Continent using spatial means.
"I put aside my work and spent a long time getting here. You're treating me like a carriage?"
Traveling tens of thousands of miles just to take away two insignificant people, and having a quasi-god like him take action is already overkill!
Wu Qi chuckled dryly and explained, "These two are important talents I've discovered, and they'll be useful to me if I bring them back. Besides your spatial abilities, I can't think of a faster or safer way."
Hunter glanced at the two and said, "A Soul Master of the teens and a Soul Saint of the seventh ring, what kind of talents are these?"
"Even if you control a lot of resources, you can't waste them like this."
Wu Qi straightened his expression and said, "This is a one-time exception; there will be no next time."
Hunter cursed the other party in his heart for being unreliable, but given Wu Qi's noble status, he had no choice but to obey.
"Bringing three people with me at once is a bit stressful. This trip will take several days or even longer, so be prepared."
Wu Qi nodded and added, "Try to go to Tiandou City first."
He didn't know if Dugu Bo and the others had dealt with Seahorse Douluo and his group. If not, he could clean up the mess.
Furthermore, he had already decided to groom Wu Qingtian as the successor of the Juyi Sect, so naturally he had to send him to the sect for training.
……
Inside Tiandou City, Dugu Bo and his group's plans did not disappoint Wu Qi.
Early that morning, Dugu Bo deliberately revealed his whereabouts when leaving the city, and bumped into Seahorse Douluo.
Seahorse Douluo said enthusiastically, "Brother Dugu, it's been a while since we last met. You'll be the host this noon."
Before he could finish speaking, Dugu Bo interrupted him, his expression slightly anxious, "I have important business to attend to and need to go on a long trip. Brother Haima, don't run around for a while. Stay in Tiandou City and follow His Majesty's orders."
Without waiting for a reply, Dugu Bo hurriedly left the city.
Seahorse Douluo was overjoyed.
According to the intelligence he had gathered, Ning Fengzhi had already left the city last night, and Dugu Bo had also left this morning. It seemed that the previous intelligence was correct, and the two had indeed gone to inspect the border. In this way, without any Title Douluo combat power in Tiandou City, it was the best time to make a move.
Out of caution, and to ensure that Dugu Bo and Ning Fengzhi were far away and had no chance of turning back to provide support, Seahorse Douluo waited for two whole days.
Meanwhile, during this period, Seahorse Douluo received a big task from Xue Qinghe: to arrange for the group of soul masters from Seagod Island to leave Heaven Dou City.
We'll reunite with him once he succeeds.
Even if the Heavenly Dou Empire later discovers that this matter is related to Seagod Island, so what?
Back then, the Spirit Hall dispatched many Title Douluos, but they still couldn't gain an advantage against Seagod Island. With Sword Bone Douluo and Dugu Bo alone, there was no way they could defeat Seagod Island.
Not to mention, most of the Tiandou Empire's forces are currently tied down by the Xingluo Empire, making it impossible for them to open up new battlefields.
In Seahorse Douluo's view, he had condescended to do so many things for the Heaven Dou Empire, so what did taking the Vast Ocean Universe Cover matter? It was just the reward he deserved.
After some self-encouragement, Seahorse Douluo gradually calmed down and no longer felt uneasy or anxious about the impending theft.
According to the Duke of Connor, the royal treasury has two entrances.
One of the rooms connected to Xue Qinghe's study made it virtually impossible to access the treasure vault from there.
The palace was heavily guarded; at the slightest sign of trouble, the Royal Knights stationed outside the city would rush to the emperor's aid. While Seahorse Douluo was indeed a Title Douluo, he dared not truly engage the elite Royal Knights in battle.
The Heaven Dou Empire has no directly subordinate Title Douluos, yet it has been able to stand firm on the continent for many years. It's hard to say that there aren't any powerful figures in the Royal Knights who can rival Title Douluos.
The other entrance was much less guarded than the palace, and it was the only chance.
Seahorse Douluo didn't know how big the Imperial Treasury was, but judging from the distribution of the entrances and exits, the two places were several miles apart. One could imagine how big the underground labyrinth was and how many treasures the Heavenly Dou Imperial Family had hidden!
But he never doubted whether the location of the treasure vault given by Duke Connor was true or false.
The so-called other exit is a relatively deserted corner in Tiandou City. No one lives here, only a few collapsed houses, which is like an abandoned street.
However, there were many guards patrolling the streets, which further solidified Seahorse Douluo's idea.
He didn't wait until dark, but decided to act during the day.
Firstly, he was not familiar with the terrain of Tiandou City.
Sneaking in at night could certainly delay being discovered by the guards. However, his vision would be obstructed in the dark, and if he wandered around the city, he would be in trouble if he got surrounded.
Secondly, the guards will be more vigilant at night, making it less easy to succeed; it's better to act during the day and catch the guards off guard.
……
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Xue Qinghe, Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, and others sat together in the hall.
With Dugu Bo's strength, he could easily conceal his aura from being detected by Seahorse Douluo.
This was a trap they had set up; how could they possibly leave Tiandou City?
Seahorse Douluo's whereabouts had long been discovered, and guards would frequently come to the Imperial Study to report.
"I was worried he wouldn't act easily, but I didn't expect him to be such an impatient fellow," Dugu Bo snorted.
Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly, "Sect Leader Dugu, do as I say, and none of us will be exposed. As for His Majesty, it's best not to get involved, lest that guy resort to desperate measures." (End of Chapter)
