Douluo Continent: Peerless God General, starting by deceiving Qian Renxue

Chapter 73 A Minor Assassination Returns to Ancient Lei King City

The following day, under Xue Qinghe's arrangement.

Nan Feihuang and Xun Yu embarked on their journey home. Given Nan Feihuang's special status, he was naturally accompanied by guards.

Several days ago, Nan Tianchen sent a Soul Saint from the royal family of the Ancient Lei Kingdom, along with a Soul Emperor, to personally protect Nan Feihuang as he returned home.

This is the main reason why Xun Yu said there was no need to worry about assassination.

After all, most assassin organizations have very few Soul Saint-level experts, and none at all Soul Douluo-level.

Unless you're like Zhao Wuji, who offends people all the time, or like Flander, who has his own ideas about development, once you've reached the Soul Saint or Soul Douluo level, wouldn't it be better to just become a high-ranking member of a major power and enjoy life? Why would you want to live a life of constant danger?

On their way back, just after leaving the border of the Heavenly Dou Empire, they encountered a group of people.

With the Soul Saint present, there is naturally no threat.

Looking at the corpses of the several Soul Kings and Soul Sect assassins lying at his feet, the Soul Saint remained calm. Even if he was surrounded by several Soul Kings, killing them would be effortless for him, and he wouldn't even need to activate his true form.

"Hmph, you dared to assassinate the Crown Prince of my Kingdom of Gulei! I've taken note of your organization. I'll spare your life today, but go back and tell your leader that our country will surely repay you handsomely one day!" The Royal Soul Saint said coldly to the last remaining assassin.

He watched the assassin flee into the distance before approaching the carriage and reporting, "Your Highness, the attackers have all been dealt with. As you instructed, one was deliberately left alive to escape."

"Alright, thank you very much!" Nan Feihuang's voice came from the carriage. "Then let's continue on our way. I think the Empress Dowager and the others must be getting impatient."

"yes!"

The carriage continued its journey. Since it was not a large convoy, just one carriage with three or four people, it moved quite quickly.

Soul Saint and Soul Emperor drove the carriage outside, while Nan Feihuang and Xun Yu communicated inside the carriage using a secret method of telepathic communication.

"Wenruo, the assassination organization you found is a bit weak, isn't it?" Nan Feihuang said with a smile.

"Having a Soul King-level expert is already quite impressive. If we hadn't deliberately kept the team low-key, with only a small number of people and a very small entourage, making them think that the target was really just a minor noble, we probably wouldn't have dared to assassinate them," Xun Yu replied.

Assassination organizations need to gather intelligence to carry out assassinations, and this intelligence comes from two sources: the person who placed the order and their own investigations.

When Xun Yu placed the order, he deliberately concealed Nan Feihuang's true identity, only saying that he was a minor nobleman of the Ancient Lei Kingdom.

Secondly, the assassination organization conducted its own investigation. Because Nan Feihuang deliberately kept a low profile when traveling, as Xun Yu had requested, the news of his return home was not widely spread.

Traveling with only two people is completely different from the pomp and circumstance of high-ranking nobles.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, this person does indeed look like a minor nobleman, so the assassin organization did not hesitate to take action.

They just didn't expect that the two guards protecting Nan Feihuang were actually Soul Emperors and Soul Saints, which led to their near annihilation.

"Wenruo, deliberately letting someone go back and letting him know my true identity will probably lead to retaliation from that assassin organization."

Falsely reporting the identity of the assassination target, resulting in the near annihilation of the entire team sent out, is a major taboo in hiring a hitman.

Anyone who dares to do this will face retaliation from that assassin organization.

Xun Yu smiled calmly, "Let them kill if they want. Anyway, I just had my soldiers place the order. If they kill me, I'll just summon more."

"Besides, I've already achieved my goal. I think that assassin organization has already prepared for this case. Let them live a little longer. Their ledgers will be very useful when we need them."

"Your ability to exploit labor is truly masterful," Nan Feihuang retorted.

Xun Yu had truly pushed his martial spirit to its limit.

Aside from fighting, he can do anything: work, gather intelligence, become an official, and even place orders for assassin organizations.

Even if someone traces the problem back to those soldiers, it has nothing to do with Xun Yu.

After all, these people all look different, and on the surface, there is no indication that they have any connection with Xun Yu.

They can kill if they want; Xun Yu can simply use some soul power to summon them again.

This assassination attempt ended quietly, with little fanfare, but this incident may bring a shocking revelation to the Heavenly Dou Empire in the future.

A few days later, Nan Feihuang returned to the capital of the Ancient Lei Kingdom without any major incident.

Because Nan Tianchen practiced frugality, he did not organize a grand welcome for the Crown Prince's return home. Instead, he waited for him at the city gate in plain clothes, accompanied by Lan Xue, Nan Feiling, Lü Lingqi, and Dian Wei, incognito.

Lan Xue held Lü Lingqi's hand, Nan Tianchen held Nan Feiling's hand, and there was also a chubby-faced Dian Wei, standing side by side, just like an ordinary family.

"Huang'er!" Lan Xue exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Nan Feihuang's carriage.

Having not seen her son for more than half a year, she could no longer suppress her longing for him.

Lu Lingqi, who was being led by Lan Xue, was even more excited. She shook off Lan Xue's hand and ran towards the carriage while screaming.

Upon hearing Lü Lingqi's voice, Nan Feihuang jumped off the carriage and was overjoyed to see her.

He immediately opened his arms and embraced her as she lunged at him.

"Lingqi, I miss you so much!" The people Nan Feihuang misses most are his mother and Lü Lingqi.

Although he tried his best to like Xue Ke, he hadn't really fallen for her yet. As for Xue Qinghe, with whom he seemed to be very close, he was just going through the motions.

In this world, the only women who can make him completely let his guard down are Lan Xue and Lü Lingqi.

"Father, Mother!" After embracing his lover, Nan Feihuang naturally didn't forget to visit his parents.

At this moment, they were all dressed casually, and he did not address his father or mother as "father" or "mother," but rather as an ordinary son would address his parents.

Nan Tianchen nodded. "It's good that you're back. You've grown taller. It seems you're doing well at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy."

"Not only is it good, our Huang'er has broken through to level 30! That's amazing!" Lan Xue ruffled Nan Feihuang's hair, her face full of pride.

Her cultivation level was far higher than Nan Tianchen's. Nan Tianchen did not immediately discover Nan Feihuang's exact cultivation level, but Lan Xue could tell at a glance.

"Really? My little brother has already reached the Soul Master level? That's too powerful!" Nan Feiling was both surprised and delighted.

She has been working hard these past few months, but she still can't keep up with the others.

Dian Wei and Lü Lingqi are both close to level 30, and Dian Wei has even been said to have reached level 30. If it weren't for his longing for his lord's return and his reluctance to leave, he would have already gone to hunt soul beasts to advance to the Soul Venerable level. On the other hand, she has only just passed level 20, and the gap between them is getting bigger and bigger.

But now it's all right. No matter how outstanding they are, they still can't compare to her younger brother. Although they are not from the same mother, they are still half-brothers. She is Nan Feihuang's older sister, so Nan Feihuang's strength is her strength.

"My lord has always been very strong!" Dian Wei's words were much more concise, expressing his trust in Nan Feihuang.

Nan Feihuang smiled at Nan Feiling and Dian Wei, "Third Sister, E'lai, let's talk about it when we get back. I've prepared gifts for you both."
