Douluo Jueshi: I can only explode the ring, all I can do is operate.

Chapter 302 Xu Tianran's Conspiracy, Holy Spirit Sect Undercover Spy.

"Brother Wuyou, is there something you need that you called me over in such a hurry?"

Mingdu, the Glass Merchant Guild, a secret room.

Ning Wuque pushed open the door to the secret room and saw Ning Wuyou drinking alone inside. To his left was an envelope, which had been opened, indicating that the other party had already read it.

If nothing unexpected happens, Ning Wuyou summoned him here this time because of the matter in the envelope. What is it?

"Sit first."

Ning Wuyou beckoned to Ning Wuque to sit down first.

Without hesitation, the latter took a few steps forward to the opposite side of Ning Wuyou's table, pulled out a chair, plopped down, leaned back in the chair, and nodded at him.

Without speaking immediately, Ning Wuyou first put down her wine glass, reached for the envelope, took out the letter inside, and handed it to Ning Wuque in front of her. Only then did she slowly speak:

"Look at this, to be honest, I really didn't expect Xu Tianran to be so bold. If my father hadn't reminded me that for your safety, it would be best to find out their recent movements in Mingdu, I really wouldn't have thought of this..."

"Dead?"

"The deaths of these two spies are significant. Their families will be properly taken care of by the sect. I only received the news last night. I estimate that they will start a city-wide search in the next couple of days after they realize what's happening, and they will also seal off Mingdu in advance."

Ning Wuyou shook his head slightly, expressing his condolences for the deceased spy. Ning Wuque, opposite him, was reading a letter, and his voice continued without interruption. After catching his breath, he said:
"The entire soul communication system in Mingdu is now blocked. Once a message is transmitted, it will be captured by one of their level eight or nine soul tools. I don't know. That's why I didn't rashly pass on the soul communication to my father after the informant reminded me."

Unable to contact Father, and unsure of what to do myself, I wanted you and my younger sister to think it over. I'll be leaving Mingdu in two weeks under the pretext of restocking, but that plan won't work if I take you two with me.

"Surrounding three sides and attacking one, this canyon is also an excellent ambush position. Those below the Title Douluo level who want to leave Mingdu can almost only take this road. If it were me, I would definitely set up soul-guided cannons on both sides of the canyon to wipe everyone out. It's like they plan to declare war on the Three Kingdoms directly after the competition, or even intercept a part of the mainstay of the Three Kingdoms in advance."

As he spoke, Ning Wuque put the letter back into the envelope, then gently crushed it into dust, which dissipated into the air beside him.

The letter didn't contain much information, but the key point was that Xu Tianran planned to start the battle immediately after the competition, just like in the original story, using courtesy before resorting to force.

Etiquette is about following rules and regulations; warfare is about striking unexpectedly.

This match was a trap from the very beginning, but what he didn't expect was that the Douluo Three Kingdoms also sent people to carry out the assassination plan.

The assassination attempt became even more intense after Ning Wuque changed some things in the original story. It wasn't just the Body Sect and Shrek Academy that were involved; several other sects and families from the Douluo Three Kingdoms that were skilled in agile attacks and harassment also joined in.

But... what does this have to do with him?

“My opinion is to ignore it, or rather, I don’t have the ability to do so. I already have a way to help my great-grandfather eliminate the toxins from his body and break through his limits within two years. I also have a clear path ahead of me and don’t need to get involved in too many disputes.”

Slowly shaking his head, Ning Wuque had not yet been to the Divine Blood Pool that the ancient dragon had mentioned, but he and Electrolux had already come up with a way to remove the poison from the ancient dragon's blood.

It's very simple. You can just let the ancient dragon eat that life-saving talisman that becomes less and less useful as time goes on. Even if the life force contained in that thing can't completely remove the toxins from the ancient dragon's body, it can greatly clear the stagnation in his body.

Furthermore, if Electrolux were to handle the case, the success rate would be very high. However, this is a last resort. It would be best to go directly to the Divine Blood Pool to investigate before making a diagnosis.

"Indeed, we don't need to take too many risks, but... war is coming. At most one year? Or two years? All-out war will break out."

"I will find a way to get the Body Sect to ally with us, and if necessary, let Poison Undying advance to the limit, and work together to postpone the war. My great-grandfather told me that the Sun Moon Empire has at least one Limit Douluo. This may be the reason why Xu Tianran dares to start a war. After all, that is almost the power of a demigod."

Actually, there are two, but Ning Wuque's experiences prevent him from revealing the whereabouts of the other one, though it's only a matter of time.

Across from him, Ning Wuyou tapped the table lightly with his index finger after hearing Ning Wuque's words, frowning as if recalling something. After a long while, he opened his eyes wide and said in a low voice:
"Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao? Yes, that makes sense. There's not just one limit, there are at least two! No wonder Xu Tianran dared to declare war on three kingdoms at the same time, so straightforward."

"Wuque, are you aware of a sect called the Holy Spirit Sect in this year's competition? This sect has been operating in the Sun Moon Empire for a thousand years. As far as I know, a sect called the 'Holy Spirit Cult' has suddenly emerged here in recent years."

"Holy Spirit Cult? I know the Holy Spirit Cult. I encountered it when I signed up with the team before. It's full of evil soul masters, and the leader is the level 96 Super Douluo-level evil soul master, Scorpion Tiger Douluo!"

As Ning Wuque spoke, he was somewhat surprised that the sect's intelligence network was so extensive that it could even detect the Holy Spirit Sect.

To be honest, those guys, apart from the evil spirit masters, seem to be... wait! Evil spirit masters? Doesn't the sect have an "evil spirit master" family?

As expected, Ning Wuyou's next words answered his surprise and suspicion:
"Yes, that's right. There is a disciple in the Holy Spirit Sect named Tang Dai. His real name is Gu Tang. He is a member of his great-grandfather's family. His original martial soul was just the most ordinary skeleton."

Seven years ago, after the sect discovered the activities of evil soul masters within the Sun Moon Empire, they assigned him to infiltrate the area. Do you understand what I mean?

"An undercover agent? The sect really knows how to treat a specific problem, but..."

"He was forced to become an evil soul master. The Holy Spirit Cult has its own unique rules. To join, one must unleash the characteristics of one's martial soul. Fortunately, the martial soul of the Tang Dynasty was quite special, and since he was weak at the beginning, he was not deeply brainwashed by them."

Ning Wuyou understood the meaning behind Ning Wuque's subsequent words and was also advising him not to get involved:
"Once this is over, if Tang Dai is still willing to return to the sect, the Gu family will send an elder to cleanse his martial soul. However, given his current sins, the six spirit rings before the seventh spirit ring may all be ruined."
