Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect - Sharingan Intercepts Tianmeng

Chapter 314 304's plan was very successful...?

Despite feeling slightly uneasy, Huang Mu decided to take action after much deliberation, since the business he was involved in was not a safe one.

Just as his men said, once he successfully got rid of the person, the rest would naturally be handled by other noble families. He was able to avoid those noble families he knew from the start.

And now is not the time for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, so there won't be any nobles from other countries suddenly coming to the Star Luo Empire for any reason.

Moreover, Xiao Lan didn't even have a protector by her side. Considering that Xiao Lan was only seventeen or eighteen years old, in those noble families, she was clearly not yet old enough to be independent and not need anyone's protection.

In Huang Mu's view, some things are obvious: there are only two possibilities for a woman like Xiao Lan.

First, Xiao Lan is a top genius who has reached the level of a five-ring Soul King or even a six-ring Soul Emperor at a young age, and has a strong ability to protect herself.

Secondly, Xiao Lan's background is limited; his family does not have any Soul Saint-level individuals who can act as his protectors.

Considering Xiao Lan's appearance, she is only seventeen or eighteen years old. The first possibility can be ignored. As the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City has very few people who can reach the level of a five-ring Soul King at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Such people are top geniuses in the Star Luo Empire. As for a six-ring Soul Emperor at the age of seventeen or eighteen, even in the capital of the Star Luo Empire, there are less than five in a hundred years. They can be counted on one hand.

What chance would it be for him to run into someone like that? Besides, Huang Mu is a five-ring Soul King who has been around for decades. With his accumulated wealth, even if it really is a six-ring Soul Emperor, he has a high-level fixed-position Soul Guidance Device that can guarantee that he can deal with him.

Moreover, Huang Mu believed that the first point was unlikely. Compared to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old six-ring Soul Emperor, the lack of a sufficiently strong protector made this point much more probable.

Furthermore, the business he was involved in was not one where he could hesitate or look back, so after thinking for a while, Huang Mu decided to take action.

As the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Xingluo City couldn't afford to fight on the streets, so Huang Mu's men quickly led Xiao Lan to a shady shop that they had been secretly controlling.

Seeing Xiao Lan's completely unguarded state, Huang Mu slapped his thigh. "Old Zhao, thank goodness for you! This young lady is so unaware of the wickedness of people's hearts. If I had missed her, I'm afraid I would have lived with regret for the rest of my life."

Seeing Huang Mu slap his thigh, it was Huang Mu's deputy who frowned and looked at his subordinates. "Are you sure she doesn't have anyone protecting her?"

"Brother Zhao, no, we've been keeping an eye on her for a while now. She was with a few other beauties before, and they all looked quite young. I'd guess they were students from some school. She was the youngest and prettiest among them, so we chose her first. We've also been keeping an eye on the others. Don't worry, she won't get lost."

"That's good. Keep a close eye on the others too. If there are a lot of people, we might be able to keep one alive for a bit of fun this time."

The man called Brother Zhao nodded, relieved that the students were alright. Regardless of whether they had a supervising teacher, that teacher was at most level 50 or 60. Even in a top-tier academy like the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy, a seven-ring Soul Saint would be a high-ranking deputy director of the teaching department.

Moreover, according to the reports from his subordinates, this was just a senior student leading the way, and there was a high probability that there wouldn't even be a supervising teacher, which was exactly the situation they wanted to encounter.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhao, I guarantee none of them will get away."

Guided by Huang Mu's men, Xiao Lan arrived at a clean and tidy store that seemed to be quite crowded.

The capital city, with more than ten people in the store, is a place where people unconsciously relax. However, if someone gradually relaxes and loses their vigilance, then that person is often in danger.

The real trump card for Huang Mu and his team is to play the darkest corner.

After Xiao Lan went in, Huang Mu went in a while later. However, the scene of Xiao Lan being drugged and knocked unconscious, which he had imagined, did not happen. So Huang Mu looked at the person in charge of this shady shop.

The person in charge shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what was going on either. The sleeping potion had already been used, but Xiao Lan showed no signs of fainting.

"Does she have a spirit that can resist poison? Or is she a poison-attribute spirit master herself? If she is a poison-attribute spirit master, she won't be so easy to sell." Huang Mu said with a frown. If possible, he didn't want to use force, but unfortunately, the poison incense he used to knock people out this time didn't seem to have any effect.

Left with no other choice, he had to resort to force. However, he had to be tactful in his actions. He glanced at a middle-aged woman who was following him, and she immediately understood. She strode toward Xiao Lan, cursing as she went.

"You bitch! How dare you seduce my husband! I'll fight you to the death!"

It's not advisable to take direct action in the capital, but if we preemptively label Xiao Lan as a mistress who has cheated on her husband, in this feudal empire where concubines can be sold off at will, arresting Xiao Lan, whether she is a concubine or an outsider, would be no problem.

When Huang Mu led his men to intervene at this time, he could even be described as a hero.

This is a backup plan when the incense fails or when there is a sudden emergency. However, it is often surprisingly effective. As long as the woman on the other end falls into the trap of self-proof, she will be unable to defend herself and will be manipulated.

That's how it should have been, and Huang Mu had successfully done it before, but this time something unexpected seems to have gone wrong.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

When the middle-aged woman tried to grab Xiao Lan, the surrounding air temperature instantly dropped by thirty or forty degrees, making everyone feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

Especially the middle-aged woman who was closest to Xiao Lan just now, whose hand that was about to grab Xiao Lan was simply frozen off, literally frozen off.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Lan's gaze fell upon Huang Mu, and a trace of pressure descended, causing Huang Mu, who was only a five-ring Soul King, to kneel down without any power to resist.

"Misunderstanding! Sir! It's a misunderstanding! This is a misunderstanding!"

Sensing the danger, Huang Mu quickly begged for mercy, but...

"You call this a misunderstanding? You've been following me, using sleeping powder, and even brought me here, all to frame me first. Isn't this misunderstanding a bit too much?" Xiao Lan's gaze towards Huang Mu and the others was extremely cold. Thanks to her Ice and Snow Maiden martial soul, this coldness was a different kind of coldness.

"You...you knew all along?"

Huang Mu was so frightened by Xiao Lan's words that he turned pale. He still couldn't understand where things had gone wrong.
