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

Seahorse Douluo felt he had gained a lot from the trip, and left happily with the specialties of the Gathering Righteousness Sect.

Meanwhile, in Dugu Bo's study.

Elders including Yang Wudi gathered together to discuss their next course of action.

"We've lured you into the trap! This Seahorse Douluo has taken the bait. Now he's at our mercy!" Huo Lielang said with a smile.

Feng Changlin added, "Old Huo, we can't let our guard down. We have a decisive advantage in intelligence. But this Seahorse Douluo may not be someone to be trifled with."

"His conversation with the sect leader seemed open and honest, but in reality, he was quite calculating. If we give ourselves away, he will easily become suspicious. If we don't reveal enough evidence, he can get away unscathed."

"This move, by alerting the enemy, could easily reveal to the outside world that we have close ties with the Spirit Hall. Otherwise, there would be no reason for us to take action against the Spirit Masters of Seagod Island. As a result, our situation in the Heaven Dou Empire is quite delicate."

Everyone knows that the royal family and the Spirit Hall are in cahoots, but this kind of thing can never be brought up in public.

The Spirit Hall's "alliance" with the Heaven Dou Empire, a union of two powerful forces, inevitably leads to the division of the entire continent. If this were to be leaked, could the Star Luo royal family sleep soundly? Not only would it fail to ease the situation, but it would also plunge the common people of the entire continent into an abyss.

Wu Qi hasn't yet assumed that position, and they can't predict the actions of the Spirit Hall. This trouble they've caused is just adding to Wu Qi's woes.

Dugu Bo nodded slightly. "I understand what the elders mean. We must proceed step by step to set a trap for Seahorse Douluo. In my opinion, this matter cannot be rushed. The more composed we appear, the more anxious our opponents will be."

"Impatience means that you will have to pay a higher price to get things done, and mistakes will inevitably occur in the process."

……

The Seahorse Douluo and his group were also aware of Dugu Bo's thoughts.

However, they didn't have time to linger in Heaven Dou City. The longer they stayed on the continent, the greater the risk of exposure. Taking the Vast Ocean Universe Cover as soon as possible would allow them to escape unscathed.

Based on the outcome of today's negotiations, Tang Shang offered his thoughts: "Your Majesty, Dugu Bo did not refuse, and his attitude was not forceful. It seems he values ​​your strength and wants to recruit you into the Juyi Sect."

"During the negotiations, his willingness to compromise stemmed from his desire to prevent both sides from missing this opportunity to get to know each other. His apparent coldness was likely an attempt to leverage your position and force you to make concessions."

"This style of doing things is indeed unlike the Dugu Bo of the past. Of course, if Dugu Bo hadn't made corresponding changes to become the sect leader of such a large sect, the Juyi Sect would not have been able to develop to where it is today."

Seahorse Douluo sighed softly and asked, "But we have no choice but to hurry. Trading space for time is the only way for us to succeed."

Tang Shang was very quick-witted; otherwise, Tang Xiao wouldn't have let him come along.

"Your Majesty, how about this? Since you've already established a preliminary relationship with Dugu Bo, why don't we wait a bit longer? We'll stay at the hotel, while you wander around the city, creating the illusion that you're visiting other forces."

"The purpose of doing this is to tell Juyi Sect that they are not our only option, that the initiative is in our hands, and that if they want to win over our seniors, they must make certain compromises and concessions."

After a moment's thought, Seahorse Douluo, unable to come up with a better solution, agreed to Tang Shang's suggestion.

Next, both sides engaged in a psychological game.

However, Dugu Bo showed no sense of urgency, and everything in Juyi Sect remained the same.

……

The far north.

After several days of rest, Wu Qi had fully recovered. That day, he stepped out of the ice house and bid farewell to Qian Gu Chang Kong and the other two.

The three of them still need to improve their strength, and staying in the far north would be of great help to them. As for Wu Qi, staying any longer would be a complete waste of time and would be meaningless.

Following the spiritual markers he left behind, Wu Qi returned to the Frozen Forest with ease in just a few days.

In the future, the two emperors of ice and snow will need to escort Qian Gu Chang Kong and the others away.

A frozen town.

More than half a year has passed since Wu Qi left.

The white crane that was originally guarding the town had already returned to the sect to report. At this moment, only disciples of the Juyi Sect's Min Hall remained in the town. Since the sect's founding, the original titles of various families had been abolished, replaced by different halls. The Min Hall was originally the Min clan.

Wu Qi used his mental power slightly and found the other party's trace in the town.

After a conversation, he gained some understanding of the recent situation on the mainland.

To his surprise, Bibi Dong did not cause any trouble during this period; on the contrary, the entire Spirit Hall seemed unusually calm.

Wu Qi guessed that it was highly likely that Bibi Dong was at the most critical moment of her assessment and was temporarily unable to stir up the situation on the mainland.

What surprised him most was the arrival of the Sea Soul Masters on land.

This Seahorse Douluo was completely unaware that he was part of someone else's entire scheme, and he was still foolishly staying in Heaven Dou City.

Because the far north is too far from Heaven Dou City, the latest news only goes as far as Seahorse Douluo and his group entering Heaven Dou City. Wu Qi knew nothing about what happened after that.

Of course, he could guess that the Sea Soul Master's arrival on land was closely related to his taking away the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

The Vast Ocean Universe Cover now lies quietly in this poisonous land. As the backyard of the two God-Kings of Destruction and Life, not only is the Sea God not qualified to explore it, but even the God of Asura is forbidden from doing so!
Regarding the handling of Seahorse Douluo, Wu Qi and Dugu Bo shared the same opinion. Killing a Title Douluo would weaken the strength of Seagod Island, so there was no reason not to do it.

After pondering for a long time, he gave his final opinion: "In cases where killing is optional, wait a while before killing; in cases where killing is optional, don't hesitate and let them go; in cases where killing is optional, don't hesitate."

It may seem like nonsense, but the real intention is to solidify the thoughts in the minds of Dugu Bo and others.

According to Wu Qi's thinking, it wouldn't be a big deal to let Seahorse Douluo and his group go if there wasn't a suitable opportunity. But if there was, they would have to take action.

Seahorse Douluo's mission is destined to end in failure, so next time, Seagod Island will not be so reckless and will not send anyone ashore again. Or perhaps their people are operating elsewhere on the mainland; it remains to be seen.

Without them watching, how easy would it be to take action?
If Seahorse Douluo dies in Heaven Dou City, it's highly likely that Seagod Island's Soul Masters will flock to the mainland to investigate. This would, in turn, be an excellent way to divide and weaken Seagod Island's strength.

However, to kill Seahorse Douluo, a suitable reason must be found, or at least the opponent must reveal a weakness that will surely lead to his death.

Wu Qi shared the same view as Dugu Bo and others on this point.

Wu Qi flicked his finger, and a surge of soul power flowed into the Min clan disciple's body. "I've transferred a portion of my soul power to you. Return to the sect as soon as possible and deliver this message."

"Don't follow me. I'll appear in Wuhun City next time." (End of Chapter)
