Chapter 405 - Chapter 405 The Most Suitable Scapegoat

Bibi Dong and Qiandao Liu speculated that the old fox Ning Fengzhi had cultivated an Evil Soul Master.

However, Ning Fengzhi himself was unaware that he had nurtured an Evil Soul Master. He remained highly vigilant against the hidden Evil Soul Master and was deeply concerned about the future situation on the continent. He earnestly hoped that Dugu Feng and Ning Rongrong would continue cultivating in Heaven Dou City.

Unfortunately, he also knew that a Soul Master like Dugu Feng, having reached such a Soul Power Level, must undergo trials and battles.

If not for Dugu Feng's consistent image of being cautious and prudent, Ning Fengzhi would have lost sleep over it.

If such a genius son-in-law were to die young, where would he go to weep!

Regarding the matter of the 100,000-Year Soul Beast, Ning Fengzhi carefully instructed Dugu Feng before allowing him to leave.

After departing from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Dugu Feng returned to Dugu Mansion.

Within the mansion, the matter of the 100,000-Year Soul Beast stirred waves in Dugu Shuo's heart.

Once a 100,000-Year Soul Beast transforms into human form, its strength is not formidable. As long as it is found, with the Dugu Family's power, hunting down this Soul Beast would be effortless.

Gaining an additional 100,000-Year Soul Bone would then become the family's foundation.

Dugu Shuo planned to have Old Nine search for it in secret.

However, he shared the same concern as Ning Fengzhi—fearing that this might be a trap.

Thus, after Dugu Feng returned, Dugu Shuo immediately summoned Dugu Feng and Old Snake to the ancestral hall to discuss the matter.

Dugu Feng first conveyed Ning Fengzhi's intention: to not get involved.

"Ning Zongzhu is worried about the hidden Evil Soul Master, but we have no need to worry!" Old Snake said with a chuckle.

The Evil Soul Master was Dugu Feng himself—what did the Dugu Family have to fear?

Currently, neither Dugu Shuo nor Old Snake could gauge the extent of Dugu Feng's strength.

They only knew that Dugu Feng had broken through to become a Titled Douluo, and his practical combat ability surely far surpassed that of an ordinary Titled Douluo.

"Feng'er, what do you think?" Dugu Shuo asked.

Dugu Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Father, I know who this 100,000-Year Soul Beast is. In fact, it is right beside us!"

"Oh? Who is it?" Dugu Shuo's voice grew urgent.

Old Snake also widened his eyes, looking at Dugu Feng expectantly.

Dugu Feng did not keep them in suspense and directly revealed, "This 100,000-Year Soul Beast is the Spirit Ring Tang Hao prepared for his son. It is right beside Tang San—the girl whose Martial Soul is the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit.

Tang Hao obtained a 100,000-Year Soul Ring through a Soul Beast Sacrifice and now wants his son to follow his path!"

"That girl named Xiao Wu!"

Dugu Shuo and Old Snake were astonished. Tang Hao's schemes were truly elaborate.

Where did so many 100,000-Year Soul Beasts come from, all falling into his calculations?

"Feng'er, are you saying that Tang Hao exposed the Soul Beast identity of his lover, the Blue Silver Emperor, and now Xiao Wu's identity will also be exposed by Tang Hao? Then, through a conspiracy, he will force Xiao Wu to sacrifice…"

Dugu Shuo's expression turned grave, finding it somewhat unbelievable. Such a Tang Hao completely overturned his perception—utterly shameless.

Dugu Feng nodded and said, "Once Xiao Wu's identity is leaked, it will inevitably attract pursuit from powerful experts. Tang Hao will manipulate events from the shadows, driving Tang San and Xiao Wu into a desperate situation, ultimately deceiving Xiao Wu into performing the sacrifice!"

Old Snake and Dugu Shuo exchanged glances. So, the 100,000-Year Soul Beast was right in Heaven Dou City.

"Then, should we seize this 100,000-Year Soul Beast for ourselves?" Old Snake said fiercely.

This is a piece of fat meat right at the tip of his tongue; letting it go would be a real shame.

He looked at Dugu Feng. Old Snake knew very well that Dugu Feng had the capability. Since he could snatch the External Soul Bone from Bibi Dong, wouldn't it be even easier to seize the 100,000-Year Soul Beast from Tang Hao?

Dugu Feng said calmly, "The 100,000-Year Soul Beast is no longer the key. The crucial point is to use Tang Hao's schemes and this 100,000-Year Soul Beast to lure out Tang Bo, who is hiding in the shadows, and make him and Bibi Dong fight to the point where both are severely weakened..."

Hearing Dugu Feng's words, Dugu Shuo and Old Snake remembered that the Clear Sky Sect still had Tang Bo lurking in the shadows.

When Tang Bo went into hiding, as the sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, he was already a Titled Douluo at level 95.

Now, over twenty years later, what level had his strength reached?

Dugu Shuo frowned and said, "This person is extremely well-hidden. Feng'er, are you confident?"

Dugu Feng revealed a cold smile. "With our strength, it will be difficult for the Dugu Family to continue hiding. My identity as an Evil Soul Master could also be exposed at any time. After all, our family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have never been targeted by Evil Soul Masters, and our strength has grown rapidly. Bibi Dong will surely become increasingly suspicious of us, and even Tang Xiao might suspect that we are secretly plotting against them. So, someone needs to step forward and take the blame as the Evil Soul Master. I think Tang Bo is the perfect candidate. The old sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, hiding in the shadows, is the most suitable scapegoat!"

Since he had learned through the Core Pearl inside Qian Renxue that Qiandao Liu and Bibi Dong were suspicious, Dugu Feng decided to stir up some trouble to dispel their doubts.

Moreover, since Tang Bo was so adept at hiding, Dugu Feng couldn't allow him to cause trouble at a critical moment. It was time to expose him to the light.

Dugu Shuo said with relief, "Feng'er, since you are so confident, go ahead and do it without worry. I will have Old Snake assist you, and the family's resources are at your disposal!"

Old Snake chuckled. He was certain that this time, there would be no shortage of spreading rumors and stirring up the Spirit Master World.

Dugu Feng had also largely formulated his plan. "I happen to need you to do something, Teacher!"

"Young Master, please give your orders!"

"Spread the news that Tang San has returned from Poseidon Island and that his Soul Power Level has reached level 86. Make sure every Soul Master knows what it means for a Twin Soul Spirits cultivator to reach the Soul Douluo level! It means Tang San can now begin adding Spirit Rings to his Second Martial Soul, and from the First Soul Ring onward, he can absorb Spirit Rings of over 50,000 years. Each Spirit Ring he absorbs will significantly increase his strength, allowing him to quickly break through to the Titled Douluo level. The cultivation path of the Clear Sky Sect is one of boldness and ferocity, a domineering and unrestrained approach—the Path of Extremes. Tang San will encounter no bottlenecks from now on and will rapidly become a Super Douluo. The Invincible on Land will reappear!"

When Tang San's Twin Soul Spirits were first exposed, they indeed attracted everyone's attention. However, he later gave up participating in the Soul Master Competition and focused on silent cultivation, causing the Spirit Master World to forget about him.

Now, this news would be enough to make Tang San the center of attention once again.

"Tang San will become the Invincible on Land?" Old Snake asked in surprise.

Even though he knew this was a rumor Dugu Feng wanted spread, the logic behind it was so seamless that Old Snake couldn't help but believe that Tang San could quickly become a super powerhouse.

Dugu Feng said, "The Twin Soul Spirits have given Tang San a physical strength far beyond ordinary people, making him exceptionally suited to the hammer techniques of the Clear Sky Sect."

"If Tang San devoted himself to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer, he could unleash the Clear Sky Sect's secret techniques like the Great Sumeru Hammer with even greater power. Surpassing Tang Chen might not be impossible."

This was also the path most suitable for Tang San. After Tang San's External Soul Bone had been taken multiple times, Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang had chosen this very path for him.
