Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 173 The Scheme of the Body Sect and Star Luo (Daily Ten Thousand Words)

Long Aotian silently accepted the information handed to him by Du Busi, and took a deep breath after reading it.

"Steal it! We must steal it! My junior brother's talent is even better than mine. If our Body Sect can steal him, Master, you will truly have a successor."

It's no wonder that Long Aotian was hesitant at first, but he quickly changed his attitude, because Huo Yuhao's talent was simply too amazing.

With one yellow and one purple spirit ring, the top-tier spirit spirit eye, suspected to be a twin spirit spirit, possessing extremely high talent as a spirit master, it is said that when unleashing its full power, it can single-handedly kill a Netherworld White Tiger that is jointly wielded by a spirit master and a great spirit master. It also possesses unique skills, including a master barbecue skill.

Anyway, their Body Sect already had a bad reputation, so borrowing a good talent from Shrek Academy was just like having too many lice and not being afraid of itching. They could just secretly give the kid a good beating, put him in a sack, and take him away. Who would know that it was their Body Sect that was stealing him?

The look in Du Busi's eyes gradually turned sinister as he stared at Long Aotian. Instead, he adopted a hypocritical and righteous demeanor: "Aotian, look at you, your mouth is practically stretched to the sky. Tone it down!"

Seeing his master suddenly standing on the moral high ground and pointing fingers at him, Long Aotian's lips curled into a sneer. This old bastard was as shameless as ever.

"Aotian, after we steal Yuhao back, how should we appease him?"

Poison Undying scratched his already sparse hair again, then passed the potentially offensive question to Long Aotian.

Long Aotian rolled his eyes, not wanting to pay any attention to Du Busi.

Du Bu Si, realizing he'd made a fool of himself, shook his head.

Forget it, their Body Sect has done plenty of human trafficking too. Let's just stick to the old system. Anyway, once you awaken your Body Martial Soul, you're a member of the Body Sect. Once you come, you're family.

Putting everything else aside, although the Body Sect is poor and located in a remote place, although it is located next to the capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire, it is situated in a natural barrier within the Heavenly Soul Empire, a truly impoverished and remote area, where it is difficult to even go out to buy something.

That being said, the Body Sect treats its disciples fairly well. They try their best to provide whatever cultivation resources the disciples lack. Even if it's a 100,000-year soul ring, as long as they can absorb it and it doesn't kill them with poison, they don't mind personally going to the Soul Beast Forest to explore it.

After briefly imagining what would happen if Huo Yuhao were brought to the Body Sect, Du Busi thought of a very serious problem.

"What's the best way for us to steal from Huo Yuhao?"

Long Aotian couldn't think of a good solution to this problem for a while. Huo Yuhao's talent had already been demonstrated, and his family relationships were extremely simple, with only one mother. Such a straightforward and honest young man was liked not only by the Body Sect but also by Shrek Academy.

Therefore, as long as the Shrek Academy members aren't stupid, they will definitely guard against it closely and prevent other forces from kidnapping Huo Yuhao.

"How about we keep digging tunnels? It's a bit clumsy, but it shouldn't cause any major problems."

Long Aotian stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"That won't do."

Poison Undying quickly rejected this suggestion, which was obviously just copied: "The tunnel we dug from Sun Moon Academy has only just begun. Where would we find the manpower to dig another one? Besides, Mingde Hall is below Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, and Huo Yuhao isn't below Shrek Academy."

When Du Bu Si brought up this matter, a hint of curiosity appeared on Long Aotian's face.

"Master, tell me the truth, what exactly is the purpose of our sect secretly digging this tunnel? Are we going to steal some soul tools and rare metals from Mingde Hall to resell for a profit?"

In response, Du Bu Si simply wore a mysterious smile.

"You're short-sighted, kid. Do you really think this plan is only involving people from our sect?"

The words "poison can't kill" startled Long Aotian. Could it be that digging a hole under Mingdu was not as simple as he thought?

"The mastermind behind this plan is Xingluo, and our Body Sect is merely a henchman. Of course, getting our sect involved comes at a high cost."

A profound smile appeared in Du Bu Si's eyes: "You can keep an eye on next year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament. It happens to be held in Xing Luo, and there will be a top-tier auction that is specially prepared for the Sun Moon Empire."

"what?"

Long Aotian scratched his head, still not understanding what "poison can't kill" meant.

"To put it simply, the Star Luo Empire has prepared a treasure that will drive everyone crazy, but we will not buy it, Shrek Academy will not buy it, and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is the richest in the world, will not buy it either."

"Once the people of the Sun Moon Empire grit their teeth and buy back this treasure, our people will have almost finished digging the tunnel. What to do next will depend on where they plan to put the embryo."

"If they keep their treasures in Mingde Hall, we'll dig a tunnel to Mingde Hall, and the treasures will be ours. All we need to do is make a big commotion, and it would be best if we could completely demolish Mingde Hall."

"If they keep that treasure in the very heart of the Imperial Treasury, where its location has never been confirmed, that would be even better. It would still be ours."

"Before we leave, all we need to do is detonate all those fixed-mount soul-guided shells that they've been saving up and are reluctant to use. They can just leave them there without wasting them. We're being considerate."

"What an understanding person," Long Aotian grinned. This plan was wild enough, but he liked it.

"Let's keep digging our tunnel slowly until it's almost finished. Once they buy that thing back, Xingluo will tell us the exact location of that treasure. We'll adapt to the situation then. It's fine to act as henchmen once, but we also have to be careful that Xingluo doesn't use us as pawns."

Poison Undying's confident words reassured Long Aotian. However, he quickly realized a problem. Long Aotian was not surprised that the Star Luo Empire had the ability to locate the treasure, but how could the Star Luo Empire be so sure that the Sun Moon Empire would buy it back at any cost?

Upon hearing this question, Du Busi smiled again: "Because the Sun Moon Empire itself is in turmoil. That treasure was originally obtained by a level nine soul master, but due to the turbulent internal environment of the Sun Moon Empire, he couldn't find an opportunity to realize its value."

"There was no other way. The ninth-level Soul Master of the Sun Moon Empire had no choice but to contact Xing Luo in secret and sell this treasure to him. It was precisely because of this treasure that Xing Luo was able to set up such a scheme against the Sun Moon Empire."

"Once it's up for auction, and the people of the Sun Moon Empire see that level-nine soul tool, the Conferred God Platform, they'll be itching to get their hands on it. No matter how much our people raise the price, they'll have to bite the bullet and keep up."
