Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 478 Assassination of Shinra High-Ranking Officials

If we were to make a comparison, then the identity and status of Bone Dragon Douluo would be similar to those of the two titled elders, Porcupine Serpent Spear and Porcupine Serpent Spear, from ten thousand years ago. He would help Qian Renxue handle some secret affairs and serve as her bodyguard.

However, Bone Dragon Douluo is only one person. He has already made a huge contribution by bringing the Shadow Palace to the point where it is almost the number one secret organization on the continent.

I absolutely cannot betray his loyalty!

"Young Master, don't be impulsive!" Bone Dragon Douluo, supporting himself, slowly sat up straight. "Don't let me..."

"You should rest for a bit." Qian Renxue quickly patted his back. "I won't act impulsively, but if we don't take some action and countermeasures, it's like admitting defeat in this covert contest."

Bone Dragon Douluo breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. You just said you wanted to bombard the royal family of the Divine Luo Empire. You'd better think twice about that."

Qian Renxue's eyes turned cold: "Attacking the royal family doesn't mean we should just hurl cannonballs at the heads of civilians. Bone Dragon, who's the second-in-command of the Shadow Palace right now?"

"It's Hummingbird Douluo," Bone Dragon Douluo answered truthfully. "After I arrived in the North, he generally handled the affairs of the Southern Shadow Palace. Next is..."

Qian Renxue waved her hand to interrupt him: "You don't need to tell me so much. The Shadow Palace is under your control, I won't interfere. All I need now is someone to give orders to."

Bone Dragon Douluo nodded. It was precisely because Qian Renxue gave the Shadow Palace a great deal of autonomy and did not interfere too much or engage in any battlefield micro-management that the Shadow Palace was able to develop to its current state.

Qian Renxue is very talented, but she already has a lot to consider. If she were to worry about all the issues related to the hidden forces, it would undoubtedly increase her burden.

She only needs to be in charge of the overall direction, and then leave the details to her subordinates.

"A level eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell can destroy a small city, and a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell can pose a threat to a large imperial capital." Qian Renxue said expressionlessly. "I remember that the Duke's mansion is not far from Xingluo City. You told me before that the people in the Duke's mansion have basically gone to the palace, but that place has not been abandoned."

"Yes." Bone Dragon Douluo patted his head, as if recalling something. "The Duke's mansion has now become a secret training base for Dai Hao, used to gather and train a group of young talents selected from the Divine Luo Empire, probably as a supplement to the White Tiger Guards."

Qian Renxue knew that a large portion of the White Tiger Guards appeared on the battlefield.

Before the war even started, she had killed seven Soul Kings and Soul Emperors among the White Tiger Guards in the south.

"Then blow it up first." Qian Renxue remained expressionless. "Then, tell Hummingbird Douluo to specifically target the retainers of the Divine Luo Empire. I want to turn the Emperor of the Divine Luo Empire into a commander without troops."

"At the same time, other cultivators in the Shadow Palace are secretly carrying out assassinations of military commanders and staff officers. Starting with centurions, they are assassinating up to regimental commanders. Those above the division level should not act rashly unless they can kill them with one blow."

Seeing Qian Renxue's expression, the others knew that she was truly angry this time.

"Didn't Dai Hao send people to scare me? Well, I'll show him what true isolation and helplessness really means!"

Qian Renxue's tone finally betrayed her anger.

Dai Hao couldn't be killed so quickly. She wanted the enemy to watch his capable henchmen be assassinated one by one, to let him know what fear was!

Even if you, Dai Hao, prepare for another ten years, you still wouldn't be a match for her Shadow Palace when it comes to assassination!

Although Qian Renxue doesn't interfere in the affairs of the Shadow Palace, she knows the current scale of the Shadow Palace. Moreover, the fact that the Shadow Palace now has Hummingbird Douluo among its higher-ups means that there are already two Super Douluo powerhouses.

Title Douluo generally wouldn't target Soul Masters below the ninth ring, but she had no doubt that this assassination attempt was aimed at her. However, the other side might have overlooked the existence of Bone Dragon Douluo due to a lack of intelligence.

Half an hour passed.

"Blow up the White Tiger Duke's mansion. Don't use level eight or nine soul-guided shells, but use level seven ones to bombard it to death. Only begin the assassination operation after the bombing is over." Qian Renxue withdrew her hand. "Tell Ju Zi to take charge of this personally."

After speaking, Qian Renxue calmed down. She silently took out a small piece of plant from her storage soul tool and handed it to Bone Dragon Douluo: "You can slowly refine this." Bone Dragon Douluo waved his hand: "Protecting the young master is my duty. I failed in my duty by not being able to stop that assassin."

"Well, then I'll punish you by making you refine this, so you can live for two more years and atone for your sins by continuing to work for me." Qian Renxue smiled and, without further ado, stuffed the root of the ivy into the other person's hand.

When Qian Renxue left Hansong Cliff, she made a special trip to the bottom of the lake to pick some roots, which she then used to expand her woven bag, leaving some roots behind.

While it can't extend lifespan by a hundred years with just an inch like the roots, it's enough to allow Bone Dragon Douluo to live for several more decades and enhance his life force.

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Bone Dragon Douluo accepted the section of plant: "This subordinate accepts the punishment."

Nana pursed her lips. She could naturally tell what those roots were. She thought to herself that humans were so troublesome, pushing and shoving each other when delivering snacks.

"Uncle Bone Dragon, Nana just helped you too. You have to promise Nana that you'll play house with me from now on."

Bone Dragon Douluo chuckled. He didn't know Nana's true identity; it was Qian Renxue's request that he not investigate Qiu'er and Nana.

However, he could guess that the other party's martial soul must be an extremely terrifying existence, and on the surface, his relationship with the young master was quite good.

"I'm sure this old bone will be busy for a while, but I do know of another bone dragon king that's currently in the Sun Moon Empire. If you have the chance, you can have it keep you company."

Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief without showing any emotion. She had thought that the Bone Dragon Douluo would say that his descendant was also a disciple of the Holy Spirit Cult. However, the Bone Dragon Douluo was referring to the Bone Dragon King, and his descendant's martial soul was not yet considered king-like.

It's probably referring to Zhongli Wu's beast soul.

The biggest taboo for those in the shadows is exposing their families to outsiders. The descendant of Bone Dragon Douluo is now protected at the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult and no longer appears casually.

"Please rest for a week while I treat you. I will ask Nine-Heart Begonia to come and continue to help with the treatment. The Second Master and Teacher should be arriving soon as well. You can return to work after you have recovered."

It's best not to trouble the soul beasts with things that can be done by her own people, and she doesn't want to owe them any favors.

Qian Renxue sensed that under the baptism of the pure power that the silver dragon Nana had just used, the bone dragon's meridians had been greatly strengthened, and it was no longer in danger of death.

"Yes, young master. Then this subordinate will take his leave." Bone Dragon Douluo cupped his hands and left.

Qian Renxue twirled her fingers and softly responded.

Before the Bone Dragon left, a piece of intelligence quietly appeared in Qian Renxue's hands, which she put into her soul tool.

After Nana was coaxed and tricked back by Qiu'er, she took out the things that the Bone Dragon had just given her from her soul tool and looked at them with Shen Yuanyi.

"Estimated cultivation level: mid-level of level 98; Martial Soul: snake-like; Abilities: outstanding mental strength, seemingly possessing an ability similar to creating millions of incarnations. The original body can instantly transform into countless small snakes, making the original body elusive. It is a divine skill for escape and assassination."

Qian Renxue turned the love letter in her hand into ashes.
