Douluo: Villain Simulator, Starting with an Iron Sword Martial Soul

This is a real benefit for Lu Changsheng.

More medicinal baths.

Better medicine for wounds.

More abundant resources to aid meditation.

There are even fixed times for Soul Master guidance.

This is no longer the treatment given to ordinary disciples from other families.

Lu Changsheng immediately bowed.

"Thank you, Sect Master."

Ning Fengzhi nodded.

"Go back and rest."

"I will have someone find you tomorrow and ask you in detail about how the Soul-Stealing Powder was discovered."

Lu Changsheng felt a chill run down his spine.

"Yes."

Ning Fengzhi then took Ning Rongrong away.

Zhao Yuanshan then took Lu Changsheng back to the outer courtyard.

Zhao Yuanshan remained silent the entire way, until they were almost at the outer courtyard, when he finally whispered:

"Immortality".

Lu Changsheng looked up.

Zhao Yuanshan looked serious.

"Do not discuss today's events in private."

"Especially the 'bloody soul powder'."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

"The disciple understands."

Zhao Yuanshan looked at him and sighed.

"You have done a good deed today, but you have also gotten yourself into a troublesome matter."

"We need to investigate both inside and outside the sect."

"This matter won't be over so quickly."

Lu Changsheng said:

"Does Deacon Zhao think it was done by an outsider, or by someone inside?"

Zhao Yuanshan paused, looked at Lu Changsheng, his brows furrowed slightly, and said:

"That's not your question."

Lu Changsheng lowered his head.

"Disciple made a mistake."

Zhao Yuanshan was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice even further.

"I can only tell you that the Green Vine Soul Hunting Forest is not a place that just anyone can enter."

Lu Changsheng's eyes flickered slightly.

This statement already says a lot.

The Green Vine Hunting Soul Forest is guarded by sect protectors.

The entry and exit routes are recorded, and the target soul beast is locked in advance.

Ning Rongrong's Soul Hunting Arrangements for today are not something outsiders can easily know.

Without inside information, it would be difficult for the other side to make such precise arrangements.

Zhao Yuanshan patted Lu Changsheng on the shoulder.

"Go back and rest."

"Remember, don't investigate randomly."

"You're too young. This is not something you should be involved in right now."

Lu Changsheng said in a low voice:

"Yes."

Chapter 49 Hidden Reality Mission?

But after returning to the cabin, Lu Changsheng did not rest immediately. He sat down at the table, lit an oil lamp, and then took out a piece of paper and began to write down all the details he had seen that day.

[Entrance to the Green Vine Hunting Soul Forest, location of the watchtower, patrol team log.]

[The Golden-Striped Ape's activity area, the direction the Iron-Backed Wolf charged out of, and the location of any remaining Blood Soul Powder.]

[Guard reaction time, Ning Rongrong's location.]

He wrote down every point as clearly as possible.

This wasn't meant to be given to the sect, but for his own sake.

His experience with the Spirit Hall's Dark Blade in the life simulation taught him that any seemingly isolated attack could be just part of a larger scheme.

Since the other party has tested us once, there's a possibility they'll do it a second time.

If he wants to find the murderer who killed his parents, he must find the patterns in these methods.

After finishing writing, Lu Changsheng stared at the few words on the paper, his gaze lingering.

Blood-stained Soul Powder, Soul Beast Riot, Accidental Disguise, Escort Route, Caravan Attack.

These words are subtly connected to each other, forming a line.

Lu Changsheng closed his eyes, and the Spirit Hall file from the simulation appeared in his mind.

Surface result: Soul Beast attack.

Actual purpose: To test the reaction speed of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School's business route.

Executor: Dark Blade's peripheral personnel.

Follow-up actions: staged as a scene of a soul beast attack.

The real-life Qing Teng Hunting Soul Forest incident was too similar to the methods described in that case file.

The only difference is that this time the target is not the caravan, but Ning Rongrong.

Or rather, it's the fact that Ning Rongrong was hunting souls for the first time.

If successful, how will the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School react?

Lock down the Soul Hunter Forest, mobilize guards, and investigate the mole.

How can we increase the protection around Ning Rongrong?

Adjust the Soul Hunting arrangements for lower-ranking disciples?

These reactions will expose part of the sect's internal operating methods.

If someone is observing from the shadows, they can obtain a lot of information.

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and said in a low voice.

"Could this just be a test?"

This time, it may not be a simple assassination, but a test.

They used several packets of Soul-Staining Powder to test the strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's protection of Ning Rongrong.

It also tested the emergency response of the Soul Hunting Forest outside the sect.

Whether Ning Rongrong was actually injured or not may not be the other party's only objective.

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng felt an even deeper chill in his heart.

Whether it's the Spirit Hall or other forces.

The other party was earlier, more meticulous, and more patient than expected.

He burned the paper over an oil lamp.

The flames devoured the writing, and the ashes fell into the bowl.

These speculations must not be seen by others.

Not at least not now.

.........

Day two.
