Chapter 154 The opportunity comes
By the time the guests had left, it was already quite late, and even though Tiandou City was the imperial city of the Tiandou Empire, there were far fewer pedestrians on the streets.

However, this was just right, giving the departing guests a very comfortable journey home.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Yuehua will be delivered here."

Upon arriving at the entrance of Yuexuan, Tang Yuehua bid a brief farewell to Xue Ke and Qian Renxue before turning and walking into Yuexuan.

“Mr. Danheng, it is getting late today. If you have some free time in the future, you can come to Yuexuan for a chat.”

Dan Heng, who had just strolled around Yuexuan for a while, happened to come out. Tang Yuehua greeted him briefly and then returned to Yuexuan.

"Xue Ke, you go back first. I have some things to discuss with Mr. Dan Heng."

After watching Xue Ke get into the carriage, Qian Renxue suddenly blurted out this sentence.

"Huh? Brother, at this point, what else do you want to talk about?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Ke immediately tried to get out of the car, but Qian Renxue glared at her and stopped her.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, but don't drag it out too late, big brother."

Seeing Xue Ke's aggrieved look, Qian Renxue had no choice but to adopt the demeanor of a gentle elder brother and said calmly:

"Okay, be careful on your way back."

"Your Highness, what brings you to me?"

Dan Heng stood next to Qian Renxue, wondering what else she might want to ask him.

"Heh, it's just out of a bit of personal curiosity, so if Mr. Danheng finds it inconvenient to answer the next question, please just say so."

"please say."

The two began to head towards the Crown Prince's residence. The city of Tiandou was sparsely populated at night, so there was no need to worry about being overheard by anyone.

Apart from the few guards hidden in the shadows, they were not very close, and as guards, they would most likely not eavesdrop on their master's conversations with others.

"The origins of Lady Yue have always been a mystery in Tiandou City, and no one has been able to find out."

"I wonder how Mr. Danheng came to have any dealings with her elders?"

Upon hearing this, Dan Heng understood why Qian Renxue had come to him.

This is because they are worried that if they side with the Clear Sky Sect, it will hinder the Spirit Hall's plans.

"It was just a coincidence."

Dan Heng answered truthfully.

Who would have thought that the King of Slaughter in the City of Slaughter would be none other than Tang Chen, the former sect master of the Haotian Sect?

If it weren't for the fact that the City of Slaughter was indeed a very special place, Dan Heng wouldn't have gone there, and he wouldn't have met Tang Chen.

Therefore, all of this was indeed a coincidence.

However, this answer took on many meanings when it reached Qian Renxue's ears.

"You don't want to answer me? Could it be that you really have some connection with Tang Xiao? Or is it Tang Hao?"

"Then, Mr. Danheng, what is your opinion on the current state of the Heavenly Dou Empire?"

After suppressing her confusion, Qian Renxue began to talk to Dan Heng about the Heavenly Dou Empire.

During the conversation, the topic would sometimes "inadvertently" come up with the Spirit Hall.

However, Danheng's answers to these questions were all consistent, and they could be summarized in three words:

It's none of my business, so it's fine, I don't care.

Qian Renxue was also having a headache; trying to get anything out of Dan Heng was as difficult as climbing to the sky.

"Let's talk to Grandpa about this. As for Xueye, stop giving him the poison for now and give him some medicine to help him recover. We can't let him die right now."

The two had walked for a short while when Danheng suddenly stopped. "Mr. Danheng, what's wrong?"

Qian Renxue asked doubtfully, she wanted to try again.

"It's nothing. I think it's getting late. Your Highness should return to your residence as soon as possible. I suddenly remembered that I have something else to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

"Alright."

After a moment of thought, Qian Renxue responded. As soon as she finished speaking, Dan Heng's figure disappeared instantly, leaving Qian Renxue completely bewildered.

How could this person just leave like that?
"Your Highness."

After Danheng left, a guard who had been hiding in the shadows stepped out and came before Qian Renxue to await orders.

"After we get back, I will write a letter, and you should send it back to the Spirit Hall and give it to my grandfather."

These guards were all transferred from the Spirit Hall and were specially trained assassins. Nowadays, there is not a single person from the Heaven Dou Empire left in the Crown Prince's residence.

"Grandpa Shelong should be back today, but there's no need for him to make the trip himself."

"Let's go, go home."

Now that Dan Heng had left, Qian Renxue naturally headed back home. However, she still didn't understand why Dan Heng had suddenly left.

"Mr. Danheng, what a coincidence, uh..."

In a secluded corner of Heaven Dou City, She Long, who had just returned from the Spirit Hall, was cornered by Dan Heng.

"What the worst luck I've ever had today! How could I possibly run into Dan Heng here!"

She Long pretended to be calm on the surface, but in reality, he was sweating profusely.

How did I end up running into Danheng?
"Mr. She Long, as a Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall, why are you here in Heaven Dou City?"

"Don't worry, I was just curious and asking casually."

Danheng's tone was very calm, as if he had just asked the question casually.

She Long narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Dan Heng's face. Unbeknownst to him, a fine layer of sweat had already formed on his forehead.

But apart from indifference, he showed no other emotion.

"I was only entrusted by the palace to come to Tiandou City to deliver an important item."

"I see. Then I will not disturb you any longer. Farewell."

After saying that, Dan Heng's figure disappeared. Only then did She Long dare to breathe heavily, feeling a wave of fear wash over him.

"Could he be secretly following me?"

Suddenly, a seemingly absurd yet strangely reasonable thought appeared in She Long's mind.

With Dan Heng's strength, it would be incredibly easy for him to follow me silently.

If I go back to the Crown Prince's residence now, wouldn't I be exposed immediately?

No, we can't go back!
Let's hide in the Spirit Hall of Heaven Dou City first.

Dan Heng did not leave, but watched as She Long entered the Spirit Hall branch of Heaven Dou City.

In fact, Dan Heng also had his own problems, but when he was with Qian Renxue earlier, the other party was the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, so it was not convenient for him to ask.

As one of the few people on the mainland who understood just how powerful the Spirit Hall's internal forces truly were, Dan Heng didn't understand.

The Hall of Offerings alone, excluding Qian Daoliu, has six Title Douluos of level 96 or above.

Adding to the list of Chrysanthemum and Ghost, as well as Bibi Dong and the Title Douluo from the Papal Palace, the Spirit Hall now has nearly twenty Title Douluo!
With this kind of power, if you were to build a Heavenly Dou Empire, would you still need people to come here to play the role of spies?
Even if you're worried that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will make a move, your Spirit Hall has so many powerful experts, surely you have plenty of other methods to use besides direct confrontation?
Wouldn't using other methods be much more efficient than infiltration?
Sending one's own divine heir to the Heavenly Dou Empire as an undercover agent is a complete waste of precious cultivation time!
If Qian Renxue had continued to cultivate diligently in the Spirit Hall, she would probably have already broken through to level 70 by now, right?

"She Long did not return to the Crown Prince's residence. That young lady must have noticed something. This may be an opportunity."
