Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 494 The Far North, Haotian Squad Steps into the Ambush

A figure in black appeared at the window of Qian Renxue's study, flicked a finger at the table, and a secret order came to Qian Renxue.

Because Ye Xishui ensured the young master's safety, Bone Dragon Elder and Ning Shu had been busy outside recently, and some intelligence was relayed by personnel from the Shadow Palace.

Shen Yuanyi, who was sitting opposite Qian Renxue, waved her hand, and the figure in black disappeared quietly.

"The Clear Sky Sect dispatched four Title Douluo, led by the Second Elder, a level 96 Super Douluo, with two at level 93 and one at level 91. They led over thirty Soul King disciples from the Soul Sect, departing from the southeast of the Heavenly Soul Empire and heading north along the border of the Heavenly Soul Douluo."

Qian Renxue opened the intelligence report and pondered for a moment.

"It's understandable that this group chose to head north first." Qian Renxue unfolded the map, looking at the route. "If that's the case, then they probably want to go around to the north of the Heavenly Soul Empire?"

"I remember Ju Zi telling me that if the Sun Moon Empire were to attack the north, the original plan was to circle around from the north and then launch a surprise attack. The people from the Haotian Sect might also be planning to enter the Sun Moon Empire in this way." Qian Renxue drew a rough route on the map with her pen.

"Moreover, this way they should be able to avoid fighting with the Body Sect as much as possible." Shen Yuanyi pointed to Tiandou City. "Anyway, they can act like a band of bandits. If there are problems on the Tianhun Empire side, they can just enter the territory of the Douling Empire."

"But there is one point they cannot avoid." Qian Renxue pointed to an area, "In the northern part of the Heavenly Soul Empire, there is the land of the far north. If they want to enter the Sun Moon Empire through here, and even if they want to avoid the reconnaissance from Cold Pine Cliff, they must cross the ice plains."

"The Clear Sky Sect will travel across the ice plains?" Shen Yuanyi frowned. "Although they are all considered strength-type Soul Masters, if those Soul Kings and Soul Emperors really went to the far north, they would probably have to rest three times after running ten kilometers."

"They brought these people along out of necessity, because if they were to take action against the large granary in Dongyang City, it would be inappropriate for a Title Douluo to simply set it on fire or something." Qian Renxue shared the information Lin Mengtong had given her with Shen Yuanyi.

"Don't you know how to be reasonable at a time like this?"

"There's nothing we can do. I reckon they're using the Sea God's name for this operation; they don't want to give anyone too much cause for gossip. It's probably a plan to first pit the Title Douluos against each other, then have these elite disciples launch a surprise attack on the city—something like that." Qian Renxue twirled her pen on her finger. "Unfortunately, they don't realize their every move is under our surveillance."

"Should we ask the Poison Immortal Sect Master for help with this?" Shen Yuanyi pondered for a moment.

"Of course we should." Qian Renxue smiled. "I heard he's still resentful about that divine helmet. We can take this opportunity to tell him about the dangers inside. And also to get him to stick with us completely."

"Okay, I'll contact Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor Sister right away." Shen Yuanyi nodded and went to the special communication soul tool to make a call.

The communication soul guides used by these high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall are specially made, not using the common soul guide satellite signal network, but having a separate line designed by Ye Xishui.

……

About two days later, the elite squad of the Haotian Sect approached Dragon City.

This is the northeastern part of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Further north lies the far north ice plains, where temperatures are extremely low. They had been hiding and dodging their way here, but finally managed to reach this place.

Elder Tang, who was leading the group, looked at Longcheng, paused for a moment, and then waved his hand: "Continue onward."

Will his sect also disappear like the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family? He couldn't say for sure.

Continuing north, they entered the outer edge of the Arctic Ice Plains. Elder Tang looked up at the sky. It was late summer, early autumn; the polar day phenomenon in the north of the continent had faded, and only the legendary core area still had twelve hours of daylight. "Second Elder, this place is hard to navigate," said Elder Tang, standing beside him. Beside him was Elder Seven, a level ninety-three Title Douluo. The other two were Elders Eight and Ten.

"Fortunately, we can see the stars in the night sky now, so we can proceed based on the stars and our sense of temperature." The Second Elder took out a package, took out a pile of cotton clothes from it, and distributed them to the more than forty disciples.

"Just head west." The Seventh Elder took out a wine flask from his robes and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

However, their movements had already been detected by a 100,000-year-old Icewing Sky Falcon from the far north. These small soul beasts were scouts of the far north, and this one was the king among them.

Two hours later.

"We'd better hurry," the Second Elder said gravely. "Behind us, it seems quite a few Icefield Bears have appeared."

"Why don't we just kill them?" The Seventh Elder's face turned ruthless.

"That's not appropriate. Our trip is a secret, and we have an additional mission: to rescue the Sea Soul Masters trapped on this icy plain. They say they were captured to plant corn and dig potatoes, but in this climate, they can only dig through ice shards." The Second Elder closed his eyes and said, "We shouldn't alert them. Let's speed up our march, shake off those beasts, and we're only about ten kilometers from our first target location."

In reality, Icefield Bears, these spirit beasts, rarely appear in groups; they prefer to hunt alone. However, the Icefield Bears following them at this moment seemed to be cooperating.

These seemingly silly and cute soul beasts are actually a force to be reckoned with in the far north. However, because the Three Kings of the Far North are the ones who spread the word more widely, the poor little white bear and its people have been forgotten.

The Second Elder sighed softly. Fortunately, they were not ordinary humans. The Clear Sky Hammer in their hands should be able to smash the Icefield Bear's head open. The combined combat power of the four Title Douluos was far beyond that of ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

"Then you'd better hurry." The Tenth Elder shuddered. "Otherwise, these juniors can just rub pepper in their own mouths and break their promises, waiting for the old men to come and serve dinner."

"Continue west. According to the intelligence from the Shrek Academy inspection team's outpost we passed by, the captured Sea Soul Masters are not far ahead. Rescuing them from the evil Spirit Hall would be a force to be reckoned with!" The Second Elder waved his hand.

"Once we get there, let's prepare to fight back against these ice bears. We've been traveling for so long, we need to fill our stomachs."

However, as they continued westward into the blizzard, they strangely discovered that they seemed to be getting colder and colder.

"Strange, why is the temperature keeping dropping?" The second elder, who was in charge, looked at his palms strangely. "The four of us have all trained in the room with the ice bed within the sect, so our resistance to cold is superior. Don't you feel that the temperature is off?"

A hammer appeared in the Seventh Elder's hand, and without saying a word, he smashed it into the sky. The violent soul power smashed a gap in the blizzard, revealing a sky full of stars.

"Not good! Second Brother, we seem to have been tricked!" The Seventh Elder's expression changed drastically. "The blizzard and the pursuit by the Icefield Bears caused us to rush forward without having time to observe the stars. We may have already reached the central region of the far north!"

Just then, countless Icefield Soul Beasts appeared from all directions, with a large white bear leading them letting out a high-pitched roar.

Xuanzi, who was at level 98, used stargazing for navigation while traveling. In the end, it was Huo Yuhao who discovered that he was being misled by the mist of Qiankun Wenqing Valley.

It can be seen that the three kingdoms in the east of Douluo Continent probably didn't even have a compass, let alone in a place like the far north ice plains.
