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

Wu Qi had no reason to argue with Yan, so he shook his head slightly. "Don't worry about them. We need to go deep into the far north ice plains. If they want to come along, let them. Once we enter the ice plains, they will naturally get lost."

"You're going into the Ice Plains!" Hu Liena exclaimed in alarm, quickly trying to dissuade her, "Elder Wu, forgive my bluntness, but the far northern Ice Plains are extremely dangerous. You may not know, but according to the records of the Spirit Hall, there are many powerful spirit beasts there."

To eliminate the effects of the murderous aura, Hu Liena once used the icy air of the far north to suppress the murderous aura within her body.

At that time, she had only ventured three miles into the icy plains, and she was protected by a Title Douluo. If she had gone straight in, even if Wu Qi were a Title Douluo, he would probably have gotten lost.

Wu Qi said calmly, "If you are afraid of taking risks, you can stay here. I will not force you."

Xie Yue winked at Hu Liena.

Their mission was to keep an eye on Wu Qi and Qian Gu Chang Kong. If they separated now, and the other side took the opportunity to sneak back to Wu Hun City, how would the three of them go back and explain themselves?
Hu Liena continued, "Elder Wu, I'm only thinking about everyone's safety. The far north ice plains are all white, sometimes it's daytime all day, sometimes it's nighttime all day, making it extremely difficult to find your way."

Wu Qi waved his hand and said solemnly, "I dare to go in because I naturally have a way to determine the direction, so you don't need to worry."

"If all goes well, this trip will be of great benefit to you, and you might even break through to the Soul Douluo level."

Wu Qi hated Bibi Dong, not Hu Liena and the other two. After Bibi Dong fell from power, these three would naturally become his subordinates.

It's important to know that, thanks to Bibi Dong's efforts in recent years, Hu Liena has gained considerable prestige within the Spirit Hall. If they can win her over, they will be able to seize control of the Papal Palace much faster in the future.

The opportunity is right here, and Wu Qi doesn't insist whether the other party is willing to take the risk.

Xie Yue's expression turned solemn as he turned to Hu Liena and Yan. "We are both mid-level Soul Saints. If we can break through to Soul Douluo on this trip, it will greatly help our cultivation. However..."

He didn't continue, but Hu Liena and Yan both understood his concerns.

There was no deep affection between the two sides; in fact, Yan had even spoken rudely to Wu Qi and his companion. Once they entered the far north ice plains, even if Wu Qi didn't kill them, if the other party and Qian Gu Chang Kong sped away, they could easily abandon the three of them on the vast ice plains. If they were unlucky, they might never return.

The three were torn between whether or not to trust Wu Qi.

A moment later, Hu Liena walked to Wu Qi's side and said seriously, "Elder Wu, we are all members of the Spirit Hall, and I am willing to take the risk with you. If the three of us can break through to the Soul Douluo level, it will be a great benefit to the Spirit Hall."

“I have enjoyed the protection and cultivation resources of the Spirit Hall since I was a child, and now it is time for me to stand up and do something for the Spirit Hall.”

Wu Qi nodded slightly: "A wise choice."

"Those who want to go can go with Chang Kong to purchase supplies. You'll need at least a year's worth of food. If you have a fire-attribute soul master, you don't need to prepare water; just bring a water pot."

……

Xie Yue and Yan finally agreed.

It wasn't that they trusted Wu Qi, but rather that they wanted to go and protect Hu Liena's safety.

Soon, the two of them followed the vast sky to the town to collect supplies, leaving only Wu Qi and Hu Liena in the room.

"You're not going?"

Wu Qi continued to observe the movements within the city without turning back to look at the other party.

Hu Liena lowered her head, her heart pounding faster. Just as she mustered the courage to speak her mind, Wu Qi spoke first: "Perfect timing. I have something I want to ask you, and I hope you will answer truthfully." Hu Liena deflated like a punctured balloon, swallowing back the words that were on the tip of her tongue, and instead nodded in response.

After a pause, Wu Qi inquired, "What about the Papal Palace these past years?"

He didn't expect to figure out the situation in the Papal Palace in a short time. As long as Hu Liena stayed by his side, he would be able to piece together the whole story from the scattered fragments.

The affairs of the Papal Palace are a secret to outsiders, but to Wu Qi, an elder of the Spirit Hall, they are not a secret at all. Therefore, Hu Liena did not hide anything and told almost everything she knew.

in a small town.

The three of them, Qian Gu Chang Kong, were collecting dried meat.

Just half a month before they arrived in the town, the frozen forest had just ended its closure, and in that very short time, supplies from the outside world had not yet been delivered.

Therefore, even with a large amount of capital, it is difficult for them to acquire the required amount of food.

Xie Yue suggested, "Elder Qian Gu, if we're not in a hurry to enter the Ice Plains, why don't we let Yan and me go to a nearby city to make some purchases? It should take about a day."

Qian Gu Chang Kong shook his head slightly, "No need. These merchants may not have supplies, but that doesn't mean others don't."

"Don't just focus on the surface; think about other factors. Do you think these Soul Hunting Squads are only stationed here for a short time?"

Although Xie Yue and Yan had never joined the Soul Hunting Team, they had heard about it when Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo helped them hunt souls.

These soul-hunting teams have been stationed in Soul Beast Town for at least six months. As everyone knows, prices in Soul Beast Town are higher than outside, and since these soul-hunting teams are there to make money, they naturally won't spend much on food and drink.

They often bring enough food to stay in the town for a long time without needing to resupply. Furthermore, once inside the Soul Beast Forest, no one can guarantee when they will emerge.

With good luck, three or four days are enough to complete the Soul Hunt. But if you're unlucky, you could wander around the forest for months.

Aside from those squads that prey on their employers, normal squads usually carry an extra amount of food. Buying food from them would have the same effect.

Furthermore, the Soul Hunter Squad has been doing this job for years and is very familiar with food rations. They may not be the tastiest, but at least they won't go hungry.

Xie Yue suddenly realized and said, "I see. Elder Qian Gu, Yan and I will go and ask about the situation first. You can stay here and have a cup of hot tea."

After saying that, he pulled Yan toward the Soul Hunter Squad's base.

Qian Gu Chang Kong sat leisurely at the teahouse table.

Along their journey, many eyes were secretly watching them.

At this moment, apart from their group, there were almost no outsiders in the Soul Beast Town. Naturally, the members of the Soul Hunting Squads took notice of them.

Of course, not all squads have ulterior motives. Those squads that betray and kill their employers are a minority within the Soul Hunter squad circle.

Soon, Xie Yue and Yan arrived at the Iron Bull Team's encampment.

The staff at the camp warmly welcomed the two into their tent and poured them hot tea. (End of Chapter)
