Chapter 55: Meeting Xue Qinghe, a Sudden Attack
The next morning, you sought out Dugu Bo again, asking him to take you to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School once more.
[Given the theory of Soul Cores and yesterday's events, Dugu Bo didn't even ask you where you were going this time, and simply took you there.]
When you see Ning Fengzhi again, this old man will still be bothered by your actions yesterday, where you defied the Heavenly Gang and took bribes.
But you don't care about any of that; time will tell.
[Then you get straight to the point, stating your purpose, and ask Ning Fengzhi to introduce you to Xue Qinghe, the fictional crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.]
Ning Fengzhi is very curious, what do you want to do with Xue Qinghe?
But you didn't tell him the reason; you only said he'd find out later.
After all, if we were to reveal Qian Renxue's true identity to him now, who knows what kind of tricks this old fox might pull, just like in the original story?
Therefore, you definitely cannot tell him this secret, at least not at this point in time.
[Upon learning of your arrival, although he didn't get the specific reason, Ning Fengzhi still agreed.]
[They said they would definitely arrange for you to meet Xue Qinghe within three days at most.]
[Afterwards, you and Dugu Bo return to Tiandou City.]
I'll prepare to wait quietly for three days, and then go see Qian Renxue.
What you might not expect is...
You haven't met Qian Renxue yet.
The very next afternoon, while shopping in Tiandou City with Dugu Yan, they were suddenly attacked.
]
The opponent's move was precise and decisive.
[He is a Soul Saint level being.]
They came here with the intention of killing you from the start.
Although the attack came very suddenly.
[I caught you completely off guard.]
However, under the triple weakening effects of your indestructible golden body, the Phoenix Dragon's Reverse Scale, and the Evil Fire Furnace...
The opponent's determination to kill you with a single blow ultimately failed.
[Then, without hesitation, you decisively activated the [Forge of Evil] overload mode to launch a counterattack.]
[With your dual extreme attributes and the enhancement of numerous soul skills.]
Even a level 70 Soul Saint can't do anything to you!
[After one minute, realizing they couldn't take you down, the other person decided to run away.]
But would you give them that chance?
[Heavenly Dou City is only a small area.]
[The moment you make your move, both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School outside the city and Dugu Bo inside the city will inevitably sense the aftershocks of the battle.]
Therefore, without hesitation, you launched a pursuit and engaged them relentlessly, giving them no chance to escape.
[Another minute later.]
Chen Xin and Dugu Bo have both arrived.
But after seeing Chen Xin and Dugu Bo arrive.
But the person who attacked you, without hesitation, decisively committed suicide, smashing his own head open with a single blow, dying instantly without a complete corpse.
Upon hearing this sudden turn of events, a serious expression immediately appeared in the eyes of Dugu Bo and Chen Xin.
They took you, Dugu Yan, and the attacker's body back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The group conducted a thorough examination of the attacker's body.
The only evidence available from the examination, besides the unusually large joints in the other person's arms suggesting a beast-type martial soul, was nothing else that could prove their identity.
Immediately, countless speculations arose regarding the attacker's identity.
But the vast majority of them all pointed to the Spirit Hall.
Dugu Bo and Ning Fengzhi asserted with absolute certainty that it must be someone from the Spirit Hall.
What they love to do most is stifle those uncontrollable geniuses.
Ning Fengzhi even suspected that the Spirit Hall had already discovered the secret of whale glue.
After all, the amount of whale glue you've purchased in Soto City over the past few years is no small sum.
[Anyone who takes the time to become interested in you will find that the key point about whale glue will inevitably be exposed with a simple investigation.]
The Shetland Sheepdog in the hotel.
I'm lying in bed right now.
The brain is also working at lightning speed.
At that moment, a sudden attack occurred.
That shouldn't be the case.
Even the trouble caused by whale glue.
Even the Spirit Hall.
That would mean capturing, controlling, or even recruiting oneself.
There's no reason to go for the kill right from the start.
After all, his simulated identity this time was basically no different from that of an orphan.
Theoretically speaking, he is definitely the kind of person the Spirit Hall would most like to recruit.
Using lethal force right from the start is seriously contrary to the interests of the Spirit Hall.
"It's not the Spirit Hall!"
Your voice rings out at this moment.
"To strike with deadly force right from the start is seriously contrary to the interests of the Spirit Hall."
"I was an orphan with extraordinary talent, even after they discovered the secret of whale glue."
"They should be recruiting me, arresting me, or at the very least, controlling or imprisoning me."
"There's no reason to go for the kill right from the start."
"That's so true to me!"
"The judgments are basically the same!"
Looking at myself in the simulation.
They made the same judgment.
Su Mu's lips curled into a smile with a hint of pride, but his eyes also held a hint of murderous intent.
"If it's not the Spirit Hall, then who could it be?"
While Dugu Bo and others agreed with your assessment, they also raised questions.
You stated that although the attacker did not possess any markings that revealed his origins or background.
However, this complete lack of any indication is precisely where the biggest flaw lies.
The fact that he did it so cleanly indicates that the forces behind him were deeply wary of the attack on me.
After his failure, he decisively committed suicide. This means that even if he returned, to prevent the matter from leaking out, the forces or individuals behind him would definitely eliminate him or his family.
Therefore, he was forced to choose suicide.
[Your connection with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was only established yesterday. In such a short time, the attackers certainly couldn't have obtained this information.]
Therefore, that so-called apprehension definitely has nothing to do with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
[Simply because they were wary of Dugu Bo.]
After all, you came to Tiandou City entirely with Dugu Bo, and you even stayed at Dugu Bo's house last night.
However, if one is wary of Dugu Bo, then the scope of this conflict can be narrowed down to a very small area.
Those forces without Title Douluo-level combat power can be directly eliminated.
After all, no matter how meticulous the planning or how thorough the execution, once the decision to act is made, there will inevitably be a risk of exposure.
[Without the combat power of a Title Douluo, provoking Dugu Bo like this is tantamount to courting death, and a very serious one at that, the kind that could lead to the complete annihilation of one's entire family.]
