Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Chapter 318 Conspiracy
Outside the door, Wu Qi sensed a murderous aura.

The Killing God Domain is exceptionally sensitive to killing intent; just a moment ago, Dugu Bo clearly had murderous intent.

He realized something was wrong and hurriedly retreated from the gate area.

The next moment, the door was pushed open, and a milky white ray followed closely behind.

The rays struck a large tree not far away, instantly turning it to stone.

Dugu Bo snorted lightly: "The reaction is not bad, but the strength is a bit weak."

Wu Qi cursed inwardly, then poked his head out and couldn't help but yell, "Old man, do you want to kill me?"

Dugu Bo's expression froze.

He recognized the voice all too well. Looking at the other person's face, he chuckled, "Who did I think it was? It's you, little fellow."

As he spoke, he walked up to him enthusiastically, put his arm around his shoulder, and said, "You didn't even tell me you were coming. With that murderous aura of yours, I thought you were a thief sneaking in."

"It was my fault, and I apologize to you."

Wu Qi's resentment subsided somewhat, and he couldn't help but ask, "By the way, is the killing intent on me really that obvious?"

Not that that's the case.

Through training, he has been able to control his killing intent within an extremely small range.

But Dugu Bo's perception was exceptionally sharp, and the remaining killing intent was particularly noticeable to him.

Before Dugu Bo could ask, the sound of iron hooves came from outside the door. The guards in charge of security came to ask, "Mr. Dugu Bo, what has happened?"

Dugu Bo blocked Wu Qi with his body and waved his hand: "It's alright, I'm just stretching my muscles, everyone disperse."

The city guards stopped pursuing them and left immediately.

Before leaving, they also repaired the streets that had been destroyed by Dugu Bo.

Hearing the commotion outside the door, Dugu Yan rushed out of the room.

"Wu Qi, why are you back? And I can't even sense any fluctuations in your soul power!"

During the Soul Master Competition, her soul power level was higher than Wu Qi's.

Unexpectedly, in less than two years, the other party had already left her behind.

Dugu Bo felt a pang of jealousy.

It is truly a case of new talents emerging in every generation, replacing the old with the new.

In his era, who could reach the Soul Emperor level at such a young age?

Even the successive popes of the Spirit Hall could not compare to him.

In order not to undermine Dugu Yan's confidence, he did not reveal Wu Qi's strength, but simply smiled and let it go.

"Yanyan, you and Lingling take a day off today. I have important matters to discuss with the little one."

Wu Qi had clearly just returned from his training mission. Judging from his appearance, he probably hadn't even rested before heading straight to his residence.

Therefore, there must be something important to discuss.

Dugu Yan didn't say much; she also wanted to rest.

After the two women left, the courtyard became much quieter. Dugu Bo and Wu Qi sat on a recliner, discussing the situation that had been unfolding recently.

A moment later, Dugu Bo suddenly sat up and said in surprise, "I didn't expect that the 100,000-year soul ring was sacrificed to you. This is an extremely fortunate opportunity."

"Moreover, you actually completed the training in the City of Slaughter! That's no good place. The fact that you were able to come out of there proves that you have the potential to become a Limit Douluo."

Dugu Bo was no stranger to the City of Slaughter.

Having the strength of a Title Douluo, he was qualified to see many secrets of the continent. Wu Qi said thankfully, "During my training, I did encounter many troubles, but I resolved them all."

"I've come here to help you and to fulfill my promise."

Dugu Bo feigned anger and said arrogantly, "I thought you had forgotten about your poor relative, me, after returning to the Spirit Hall."

"Hearing you say that warms my heart; I'm glad I didn't misjudge you."

Wu Qi felt a wave of nausea and muttered, "Don't be disgusting. If you don't need it, I'll go back and report."

Dugu Bo smiled, waved his hand, and his expression became much more serious.

"The situation on the mainland has been quite turbulent recently. The Spirit Hall is on the decline, and the four lower sects have become more high-profile than before. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, on the other hand, have fallen into silence at this time."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School did not take any action because they received a reminder from the Hall of Offerings that they should not oppose Bibi Dong in order to ensure the safety of the sect.

Ning Fengzhi's previous high profile was also for the safety of the sect.

Since he has made a promise from the Hall of Offerings, there is no need for him to continue to be high-profile. Isn't developing in a low-profile manner the best choice?

As for the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, it was purely due to their lack of strength that they chose to strategically shrink back in order to avoid becoming too powerful to shake off and dragging down the entire sect.

Furthermore, during the Soul Master Competition, Yu Xiaogang and the Blue Lightning Twins made fools of themselves one after another, causing their sects to lose face!
If we don't shrink back now, are we supposed to wait until the sect's reputation is completely ruined?

On the way to Tiandou City, Wu Qi had already ascertained the latest situation on the continent from the various branch halls.

But all of this had nothing to do with what he was about to do.

“I already have a way to get Prince Xuexing to use his favor directly.”

This favor has been a burden on Dugu Bo for over a decade. If he doesn't repay it soon, he'll probably be completely taken advantage of by Prince Xuexing.

Wu Qi's method was simple: expose what Prince Xuexing had done before.

In order to sabotage Shrek Academy in the competition, Prince Xuexing, along with many nobles, bribed Wang Teng.

This matter was indeed kept very secret at the time, but later, one of the nobles secretly defected to the Spirit Hall and revealed the news.

After the Soul Master Competition ended, Wu Qi, who enjoyed a very high status within the Spirit Hall, naturally saw this secret.

Indeed, the outside world is unaware of this matter, but once it is revealed, Prince Xuexing will be in deep trouble.

Wu Qi didn't know what Tang San had gone through all these years, but Tang Hao had been killed in public, and the news had already spread throughout the entire continent.

Even if the Clear Sky Sect were to close its doors to the world, they would surely have heard of such a major event and thus become aware of Tang San's existence.

If Tang San gets the support of the Clear Sky Sect, do you think the Clear Sky Sect will cause trouble for Prince Xue Xing once this matter is exposed?

After all, the Haotian Sect is notorious for protecting its own.

Dugu Bo hesitated, "Little guy, isn't this making things a bit too big?"

"If it gets out of control, not only will I be unable to handle it, but the entire Heaven Dou royal family will probably be doomed."

The new generation of Soul Masters may not know how terrifying the Clear Sky Sect is. But these veterans are very clear about the Clear Sky Sect's power.

Even if the world were to close, it would be very easy for the Haotian Sect to assassinate someone.

Could it be that Wu Qi's plan was to use someone else to do his dirty work?
Indeed, once Prince Xuexing dies, this favor will naturally be gone.

Wu Qi shook his head, "I'll handle this, but I'll need to rely on some external help."

"Old man, you absolutely mustn't get involved. Otherwise, once Prince Xuexing realizes what's going on, your reputation will be ruined."

"By then, the Heavenly Dou Empire will have nowhere to hide."

Dugu Bo understood the implications and nodded emphatically, "Alright, I'll follow your orders."
