Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 270 - Shocking! The bounty on He Caitou and Gou Tou is actually worth three billion!

Among the seven people, Yueyue, who has the lowest cultivation level, is already at the fourth ring level, which is the minimum requirement for using a flying soul tool.

The most important step in using a flying soul tool is takeoff, which involves injecting soul power into the tool and propelling it towards the ground. Once the body is in the air, the wings are then unfolded.

At this point, relying on the buoyancy of the airflow through their wings, they only need to use their soul guides to change the downward thrust into a horizontal thrust, which will allow them to accelerate in the air.

"Nana, teach her," Qian Lingyun said, looking at Yueyue's complex flight path with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "There's actually such a technique?"

"Yes," Nana replied, turning around to hand her flying soul tool to Yueyue: "Yueyue, come on. Try out the flying soul tool I made myself! I personally think it's quite stable. I'll take you flying."

As she spoke, Nana, standing at 1.9 meters tall, hoisted Yueyue onto her shoulder, while the flying soul tool behind her, fueled by soul power, rapidly emitted two beams of white light, propelling the two of them upwards into the air.

"We have the ability to fly for extended periods of time, so let's not use soul tools!" A pair of bone wings suddenly bloomed from Bai Yuan's back, and she flew off towards the two beams of white light.

"Holy Maiden, the dragon wings that Bai offered are really cool. Could you give some to us sisters too... hehehe..." Wu Yu pointed to herself a little embarrassedly, then to Wu Yun, and scratched her head with an awkward smile.

Seeing the two girls like this, how could Qian Lingyun not understand what they were thinking?

Making the Bone Dragon Soul Set is not difficult; she can complete a set within two hours, from refining the Bone Dragon energy to infusing it.

However, the time wasted in refining the secret soul bone by killing soul beasts is considerable. She first needs to kill a hundred of the same species within two hours, and even then, the success rate is very low.

"If it doesn't work, then forget it..."

Seeing that Qian Lingyun hadn't responded for a long time, Wu Yu lowered her head in frustration, pouting as if she was thinking about something. It looked... extremely funny.

"Prepare a six-piece set of external soul bones, and I can process them for you for free," Qian Lingyun said with a smile, smoothing her wind-blown hair as she answered Wu Yu's question.

"Yay!" Wu Yu excitedly bumped into Wu Yun's arms, and the two of them spun around and fell to the ground.

Qian Lingyun felt a pang of jealousy at their intimate display. The Fourth Elder, who had been silent, tossed a dark red jade bracelet into Qian Lingyun's arms and whispered, "My dear daughter, this contains the money for the materials. Before they pay the deposit, I'll reserve the next set."

Taking the bracelet and putting it on her wrist, Qian Lingyun scanned the materials inside with her spiritual power, couldn't help but hiss softly, and gave it a thumbs up:

"Wow... Mommy is so generous."

"Hmph! Look at you, so clueless! This is nothing! In a few days, go to Seven Star City; I have a way to make money there!"

The Fourth Elder raised his right hand and flicked Qian Lingyun's forehead lightly before quickly disappearing from her sight.

Qian Lingyun was completely baffled by the four offerings' methods for making money.

Seven Star City wasn't actually one of her rest stops, but... adding a stop to her journey wouldn't hurt, would it?

For the next two weeks, Qian Lingyun spent her days fooling the branch elders of various departments, and her nights killing soul beasts to refine soul bones and nourish her blood soul.

Every now and then, she would take time out of her mealtimes to make the Bone Dragon Soul Bone Set. It wasn't until more than a month later that they finally arrived near the Seven Star City mentioned by the Four Elders.

Bai Yuan flipped through the map and said, "This... this place is only a little over a thousand miles from the border between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire. Judging from the signs, it should be a supply transit town for the Sun Moon military."

"If nothing unexpected happens, given the special nature of our location, the patrol team will arrive soon."

Sure enough, not long after, streaks of light descended from the distant sky, landing precisely in their direction.

"What do you want me to do? Kill them?" Wu Yun chuckled eerily, his face grim, as the gray soul power around him began to shimmer with a terrifying gray light.

"Seriously, we're evil spirit masters with principles. We should be civilized. Let's talk first, and if we can't reach an agreement, then we'll kill them!"

Qian Lingyun raised her hand and threw a punch into the air. Instantly, a ball of purple soul power exploded more than ten meters above her head, spreading out into a dazzling purple firework.

The figure descending from the sky immediately identified its location, and soon, a team of thirty soul masters, all wearing standard soul tools, descended from the sky.

As they fell, these people quickly formed a circle, completely surrounding Qian Lingyun and her group. The leader was a stern-faced old man.

"Who are you? What is your purpose in approaching our army using a flying soul tool?" As he spoke, the old man, along with the other soul masters, released their soul rings.

In an instant, the dazzling light of the spirit rings illuminated a large area of ​​open space. The elderly man at the head was none other than a seven-ring Spirit Saint. Three yellow, two purple, and two black spirit rings. Although not the optimal configuration, they were still quite outstanding.

"Here..." Qian Lingyun took out a golden token from her crimson jade bracelet and casually tossed it to the old man, gesturing, "Take a look..."

The old man paused for a moment, then examined the token in his hand closely. His face instantly lit up with surprise and delight. "Ah! It's Young Master Jue... um..."

The old man pondered for a moment, and for a moment he didn't know whether to call Qian Lingyun "Young Master" or "Young Miss".

But in the end, he sighed and said with a fawning smile, "My lord, you have been here for some time now, waiting for you along with the marshals and generals. Please, this way..."

Having someone to guide you is like being a headless fly, wandering around aimlessly with a map. Following this group of Soul Masters, Qian Lingyun and her group finally arrived at a heavily guarded military town.

Apart from the city walls and a few storage facilities, which are made of stone, most of the buildings in this town are distinctive cowhide tents, seemingly designed to facilitate the advance or retreat of Soul Masters.

"How can my mommy talk to so many generals?" Qian Lingyun asked curiously, looking around at the soul tool array.

"Young lord, you may not know this, but as far as I know, the Marquis and most of the generals from my Sun and Moon Army who participated in the coup back then are close friends who have gone through thick and thin together."

But the Marquis had no interest in such power; even her title was bestowed upon her later by His Majesty the Emperor.

At this point, a few glistening tears actually welled up in the old man's weathered eyes, making Qian Lingyun's lips twitch.

No matter how amazing she is, she's still my godmother. What are you old man so self-satisfied about?

"Looks like you know my mommy pretty well!" Qian Lingyun glanced at the old man with a forced smile. The old man chuckled and whispered:

"I only managed to get to this mediocre position today by chance, thanks to the Marquis's influence!"

"Does this 'seizure of the throne' refer to the change of emperors many years ago?" Qian Lingyun thought for a moment and asked softly, "I heard that little beast named Xu He wasn't killed and got away?"

"Shh, shh, young sir, you can't just talk about things like this! Even if you know, you have to keep it to yourself!" The old man hurriedly looked around, and only after confirming that no one was nearby had any ulterior motives did he breathe a sigh of relief and say:

"After all these years, my friends in the palace's special department, the Sixth Division of the Dark Guard, are still thoroughly investigating this Xu He. It's said that anyone who can deliver Xu He's head or live body to His Majesty will be granted a marquisate, a fief, and a reward of 300 million!"

Holy crap, how much?! Three hundred million!

A 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, along with the accompanying level-nine soul tool, the Conferred God Platform, was auctioned for only 150 million gold soul coins!

He Caitou's head was actually worth two heads in the old emperor's hands?

My God, his head, which is covered in charcoal, is actually worth that much?

What is this?

Black, Laifu, and Yikes Pensei Wu from Douluo Continent!

(black ////life ////expensive, cough cough cough, translate this yourself!)

Qian Lingyun was stunned. She only knew that He Caitou, as the escaped crown prince, had never dared to show his true face, but she had never expected that the old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire would buy his dog's head at such a high price.

However, Qian Lingyun quickly nodded in understanding.

As everyone knows, there was a dynasty on Earth where a vassal king defeated his nephew and ascended the throne. However, the young emperor disappeared without a trace, and the usurping vassal king sent out a vast net to search for him by land and sea for many years!

The Sun and Moon Empire was also a wealthy country, so it was perfectly reasonable for an emperor who had a difficult time seizing the throne to spend a lot of money to buy the life of the former crown prince.

Look, hasn't this opened up a whole new world?

Capture He Caitou, or hand him over to the old emperor to get a title and fiefdom, and live a free life of eating, drinking and having fun every day.

Or lend it to Qian Renxue to boost her performance, and then the position of Crown Prince will be firmly established and secure.

For the sake of my Xuezi's grand plan to seize the country, I have no choice but to suffer the hardship of He Caitou and ask him to lend me his head.

He Caitou, far away at Shrek Academy, had no idea that his name had already been put on the blacklist by a certain unscrupulous evil spirit master.

After walking past rows and rows of tents for nearly half an hour, a large cowhide tent came into view in the distance.

Compared to the other tents, this cowhide tent was much larger, hexagonal in shape, and made entirely of dark brown tanned cowhide. There were no guards around, only a few soul masters fiddling with some strange soul-guiding machines.

"Alright, young lord, the Marquis and the generals are inside!" The old man stopped a short distance from the tent and bowed, gesturing for Qian Lingyun and her group to proceed.

"A soundproof soul guide device?"

After opening the tent door, Qian Lingyun heard a slightly noisy conversation inside the command tent, but they hadn't heard a sound at all outside the tent just now, which shows the level of soul guidance technology of the Sun Moon Empire.

The moment the group entered, everyone who had been talking turned their hostile gazes toward these uninvited guests.

"Please don't be offended, this is my daughter."

The Fourth Elder emerged from the depths of the command tent, weaving through the crowd, and pulled Qian Lingyun to the center. Without any attempt to conceal his intentions, he introduced Qian Lingyun to the assembled warriors of the Sun Moon Empire: "This is my daughter. What do you think? Doesn't she look like me?"

"Ahem, your daughter does resemble you quite a bit, like her nose and her eyes."

Several people who were good at reading people's expressions took the opportunity to continue the conversation about the four offerings, some praising the skin and others praising the appearance.

Although they were praising Qian Lingyun, it was clear they were looking for an opportunity to flatter the Fourth Preceptor.
