Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 303 A Gamble That Can't Be Killed by Poison

Xingluo City, Xingluo Imperial Palace.

Dai Hao and Xu Jiawei sat in the secret room, their expressions grim, discussing something.

"Shrek Academy says they can't interfere in this matter," Dai Hao said in a low voice. "Your Majesty."

Xu Jiawei sighed, "There's nothing we can do. Who would have thought that Jing Hongchen would actually move the soul-guided turrets to Shrek City? Brother Dai, are those level-nine soul-guided turrets really that powerful?"

Dai Hao nodded seriously: "Very powerful. I have fought against the army and soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire on the western front all my life. If my guess is correct, an eighth-level soul guidance cannon can turn a small city into ruins."

"In all those previous encounters, it seems really difficult for our Star Luo Empire to gain the upper hand." Xu Jiawei frowned. "I heard from Jiu Jiu that it seems we've really lost more than we've won in the past year."

Dai Hao nodded: "What I fear most is this mysterious Sun Temple. Our recent attack was severely hampered by the participation of their temple disciples. Moreover, what I least expected is that this young master of the temple has far too many powerful backers."

"Aside from the Sun Moon Royal Family and Mingde Hall, which have already been exposed, the Body Sect is now also showing her goodwill. This person cannot be let go under any circumstances." Xu Jiawei's expression hardened.

Dai Hao asked solemnly, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Xu Jiawei said coldly, "An emperor, after all, must personally lead his troops into battle!"

Dai Hao exclaimed in alarm, "Your Majesty, this won't do! Your health is compromised!"

Xu Jiawei patted Dai Hao on the shoulder: "This competition has actually caused the reputation of the Star Luo Royal Family to decline. I have to do some decisive and ruthless things to let the people know..."

"Who exactly is in charge of this Star Luo Empire?!"

Dai Hao also hardened his heart: "Perfect, it's time to settle Yao Heng's score..."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Qian Renxue was talking with Du Busi, discussing some things they could talk about in the future.

"Young Master, are you really not considering breaking away from the Sun Moon Empire?" Poisonous Immortal frowned and asked. He no longer looked down on Qian Renxue; some of the girl's methods were truly astonishing.

He had no doubt that, given the current state of the Heavenly Soul Empire, if Qian Renxue were to go and have some fun, she probably wouldn't end up in a good situation.

"What's wrong with the Sun Moon Empire? The Sun Moon Empire is also part of the Douluo Continent, as you, Poison Sect Master, have said before," Qian Renxue said calmly. "Besides, in a sense, the Sun Moon Empire is the most suitable place for me to stay right now, isn't it?"

Poison Immortal paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes. But, after all, I am the sect leader of the Body Sect, the guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire."

Qian Renxue glanced at him: "We've been talking for almost three days, how come you still don't understand what I mean?"

"I can hear some of it, but there are some things that need to be confirmed."

Qian Renxue patted her head, thinking to herself that this sect leader was indeed quite straightforward.

"My only enemy is Shrek Academy. My attack on the Star Luo Empire was only because their royal family is so inhuman," Qian Renxue said calmly. "Over the years, the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Sun Moon Empire haven't had any major conflicts. But I will still take action to eliminate the parasites within your empire."

Poison Undying's eyes darkened; he naturally knew what Qian Renxue meant by "parasites." This was due to the Heavenly Soul Empire's unique origins—Shrek Academy, or to put it bluntly, the Sea God's spies and informants within their empire.

Afterwards, the two exchanged some more information. What the Body Sect wanted was actually quite simple: they coveted the Spirit Ascension Technique of Qian Renxue's faction, while Qian Renxue needed to continue to plant her own spies in the northern part of the continent.

After all, the Body Sect is inherently both righteous and evil, and they generally act entirely according to their own preferences. Now that such a technology is presented to them, it's impossible for them not to be tempted.

Moreover, Du Bu Si also confirmed one thing: Qian Ren Xue's original martial soul was indeed the same as his, which was himself, and it seemed that she had already completed the second awakening, at least at the gold level or above.

This talent of his original martial soul also made him appreciate talent.

All these factors combined...

"Alright, then I'll take this gamble with you, little girl!" Qian Renxue chuckled. "You won't be disappointed. You'll find out later how right this decision was."

"One last question, young master, what is your real name?" Poisonous Immortal asked in a low voice.

Qian Renxue leaned close to Du Busi's ear and whispered three words using telepathy.

Poison Undying paused, feeling like he'd heard the name somewhere before. He pondered for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed!

"Got it?" Qian Renxue said with a smile.

"You...you..." Even the way people address Poison Undying has changed.

It makes sense now; everything makes sense.

Then he glanced around and understood why Qian Renxue was using soul transmission; she was obviously afraid of being overheard.

"Are you a descendant of that person?" Poison Immortal switched to telepathic communication. "Why aren't you pretending anymore?"

"More or less." Qian Renxue nodded slightly. "Because Shrek Academy will probably find out soon. I estimate that they will know my identity in less than two years."

Poison Immortal took a deep breath: "This is truly... unexpected, yet perfectly logical."

"You should go back quickly," Qian Renxue said. "I reckon some restless rats have already started investigating the location of your sect."

Poison Undying nodded solemnly and left.

For the Body Sect, this was truly a high-stakes gamble; let's hope they didn't make the wrong bet.

After seeing off Du Busi, Qian Renxue stood up and walked out, knocking on the door of the next room. She sent a thought into the room: "Elder Kong, please ask the Hall Master to leave."

Kong Deming's thoughts also came back: "Everything is ready, looking forward to the performance."

Qian Renxue smiled imperceptibly. "Star Luo Empire, don't disappoint me."

-

Early the next morning, the people from Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy left Star Luo City one after the other.

Under Qian Renxue's instructions, the Sun and Moon Team deliberately waited an hour after the Shrek Academy members left before setting off.

Under the arrangement of Kong Deming and Ye Yulin, more than a dozen members entered Kong Deming's natal soul tool, the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield. This soul tool, which was about to reach level ten, was Kong Deming's lifeblood. He had incorporated some of his understanding of martial souls into this soul tool, thus giving it some spatial power.

Previously, at the end of the competition, Kong Deming suppressed the aura of the level 98 Xuanzi by relying on this soul tool and the suddenly appearing soul array.

Kong Deming and Ye Yulin activated their soul tools and quickly led the Sun and Moon Team members away.

However, about half an hour after they left, when they arrived at a vast plain, several auras of Title Douluo suddenly appeared before them.

Then, an attack struck them hard a hundred meters away, forcing Kong Deming, Ye Yulin, and the Sun and Moon team to a halt.

Immediately following, another soul skill attack, seemingly striking from afar, accurately hit the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield.

"Leave!"

A dense mass of figures appeared at the edge of the plain, and the expressions of Riyue and his group instantly darkened.

There was a small error earlier; it stated that Dai Hao was level 94, but in reality, he should have only recently become a Title Douluo. This has already been corrected.
