Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

Chapter 193 The Thief's Heart Remains Undiminished

A dense forest lies to the north of the Martial Soul Plain.

Tang Hao put Tang San and Xiao Wu down from his carrying pole. Before he could catch his breath, a mouthful of blood immediately spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Hao!" The man in black robes ripped off his mask, threw the master down, and quickly checked on Tang Hao's condition.

However, as soon as he inputted his soul power, he immediately frowned.

This was hardly the body of a Title Douluo! It was more like a tattered rag, riddled with holes. If Tang Hao hadn't been holding on with his immense soul power, he probably would have died long ago.

"Brother Hao, how did you get so badly injured!" Tang Xiao quickly channeled his soul power into Tang Hao: "I'll take you back to Tian Dou. Yue Hua will definitely be able to find someone to heal you."

Tang Hao had also recovered temporarily. He shook his head and gave a helpless bitter smile: "Brother, there's no need to worry Yuehua. These injuries are actually hidden injuries left from the battle with Qian Xunji more than ten years ago. They've been suppressed for so long that no one can solve them. But don't worry, I already have a solution. There's no immediate danger to your life."

His body was almost beyond saving. If Tang San hadn't absorbed the right leg bone of the Blue Silver Emperor and obtained the 100,000-year recovery soul skill "Wildfire cannot burn it out, the spring breeze blows and it grows again" to help him heal some of his injuries, that Great Sumeru Hammer strike today would probably have been his swan song in this life.

Tang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "This time, we really owe you a debt of gratitude. Otherwise, Xiao San and I might have really died in Wuhun City."

Although he was expelled from the Haotian Sect, he had maintained contact with Tang Xiao through Tang Yuehua all these years. This time, in order to completely eliminate the threat of Lu Mingfei, he specifically wrote a letter asking Tang Xiao to come down the mountain to help.

Even if Lu Mingfei had two Title Douluo-level protectors by his side, the brothers would still surely meet a gruesome end if they joined forces.

Tang Xiao had been lying in ambush outside Wuhun City for the past few days, but unexpectedly, he ended up saving their lives.

"We're brothers, no need for such formalities." Tang Xiao sighed, stroking Tang San's blue hair on the ground. "This is your and Ah Yin's child, they look so alike!"

"Shouldn't you bring Xiao San back to the sect this time? Xiao San possesses twin martial souls and an external soul bone. Over the years, you've also obtained a large amount of funds from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and reorganized the four single-attribute sects. The elders have no reason to refuse the return of such a peerless genius who can lead the Clear Sky Sect to rise again." Tang Xiao looked at Tang Hao with hopeful eyes.

Tang Hao lowered his head. Returning to his sect was also his wish. His father's death and the decline of the Haotian Sect had always been his biggest regrets.

Over the years, he has been doing his best to pave the way for Tang San to be recognized as a member of his ancestral clan.

With Tang San's current strength, he would have had no problem if he were in a decade or so ago.

But that's not possible now.

"No." Tang Hao shook his head: "Big brother, you must have seen the battle this afternoon, right? The Qian family's six-winged angel martial soul bloodline, and—that Lu Mingfei!"

Tang Xiao was slightly taken aback, then slowly nodded. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he probably would have found it hard to believe that it was a battle between a Soul King and a Soul Emperor.

Both of them had clearly reached the threshold of Contra.

It can be said that the successor of the Qian family's Angelic Martial Soul is in no way inferior to Tang San's Twin Martial Souls.

As for Lu Mingfei, he finally understood why his younger brother Hao had made the decision to ambush a child.

If such a person were to join the Spirit Hall, the consequences would be unimaginable. Within twenty years, the Spirit Hall would possess the power to sweep across the entire continent.

"I have a blood feud with the Qian family. After the news of the birth of this Qian family girl reached the sect, the elders would be even less likely to let me return. But Xiao San is different. The elders are more likely to accept him." Tang Hao said in a low voice, his eyes full of hatred and seriousness.

"But all of this is predicated on the fact that Lu Mingfei does not exist."

When Tang Hao spoke these words, his tone was incredibly cold and fierce. The killing intent he contained seemed to lower the temperature of the surrounding air, and Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Grandmaster, who were unconscious, couldn't help but shiver.

If before this afternoon, Tang Hao wanted to kill Lu Mingfei only to cheer Tang San up, now he truly has the intention to kill Lu Mingfei.

Watching the two fight high in the sky that afternoon, Tang Hao really wished he could go up and risk his life to eliminate these two threats.

He was truly frightened. Lu Mingfei might become someone who surpassed his grandfather. At that time, what would it matter if Xiao San's twin martial souls were fully developed?

It's likely that the mistress will not only fail to bring glory to the Haotian Sect, but will instead bring utter destruction.

In that case, we must not allow this threat to continue to grow.

Tang Xiao remained silent for a moment. He knew that Tang Hao was not an impulsive person. Since he said so, it meant that Lu Mingfei was irreconcilable with them and was destined to become an enemy. In that case, it was imperative to eliminate him completely.

"But where can we find him after he leaves Wuhun City?" Tang Xiao frowned. They were currently with the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled; they couldn't very well go back to stake out the city.

"No, no need," Tang Hao said quietly, his gaze fixed on the northwest direction. "We just need to return to Tiandou City."

-

Damn it.

Lu Mingfei never expected that a joke by the Pope would cause such a sensation.

Not only the Tiandou camp, but also Xingluo Davis and others who lived in the east of the city came to join in the fun, and even talked about becoming sworn brothers and being crowned kings.

Lu Mingfei knew he was now highly sought after, but he had to admit that the sheer scale of the operation was quite terrifying.

She finally managed to slip away under the pretext of needing to rest due to her injury and return to her room for some peace and quiet, but then Education Commissioner Bai Baoshan walked in.

"Mingfei, why don't you reconsider?" Seeing that no one was in the room, Bai Baoshan whispered to Lu Mingfei to hurry up and go to the Papal Palace to apologize, saying that there might still be a chance to win him back.

After all, as the old saying goes, a Soul Master who doesn't aspire to be the Pope isn't a good Soul Master!

Lu Mingfei felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Bai Baoshan was a member of the Heaven Dou royal family. It was already quite virtuous of him not to use his master's favor to recruit him into the Heaven Dou camp. How could he possibly ask him to seriously consider joining the Spirit Hall?

Could it be that Bai Baoshan, you old man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, is actually an undercover agent planted by the Spirit Hall in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?

"Alright, Lao Bai, I already know, you don't need to hide it from me anymore." Lu Mingfei sat down, casually poured two cups of tea, and spoke nonchalantly.

Bai Baoshan seemed to choke on his words, unable to speak for a long time: "Yes, you should have known a long time ago."

"Wow, this isn't a rooftop, you actually told me that?" Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected that his casual bluff would actually bring up Andy Lau.

Bai Baoshan, unaware of Lu Mingfei's train of thought, simply sat down slowly, drank a cup of tea, and then said, "It must have been that Crown Prince Xingluo who told you, right? Nobody wanted something like this to happen to His Highness Xue Qinghe. But Mingfei, I know you're sentimental, but I think you really should consider your future."

"Wait, wait, what's going on here?" Lu Mingfei quickly waved his hand to interrupt Bai Baoshan, asking with a blank expression, "What happened to Xue Qinghe?"

Bai Baoshan then realized that Mingfei seemed to be talking about something else entirely. However, he had originally planned to tell him this after the competition ended, and he should indeed tell him: "Mingfei, His Highness Xue Qinghe actually died suddenly more than ten days ago."

It was said to be a deadly poison that kills on contact with blood; the imperial physicians didn't even arrive in time before he passed away on his bed. Sect Leader Ning rushed back earlier precisely because of this.
