Chapter 226: Conspiracy
Dugu Shuo felt that the energy of these two soul bones was too immense.
They were the left leg bone and the right leg bone respectively.
He, Dugu Shuo, had lived for so many years, yet he had never seen such complete soul bones.
At the very least, they were over fifty thousand years old.
"Feng'er, what exactly is going on here!"
He still couldn't connect the soul bones to the great battle in the Sunset Forest.
"I obtained a total of three soul bones, which came from Yu Yuan Zhen. After Yu Yuan Zhen fought a fierce battle with Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, he was severely injured.
I tracked him using the Emerald Dragon Snake, launched a sneak attack at night, killed this old dragon, and obtained three soul bones.
One of them is the right arm bone, which I have already absorbed!!"
Dugu Feng said directly.
"Yu Yuan Zhen is dead!"
Dugu Shuo's composure broke once again.
He, who had always remained unflinching even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, was still shocked by Dugu Feng's words.
His son killed Yu Yuan Zhen?
His son killed a Title Douluo!
Dugu Shuo felt like he was dreaming. "Was it the Overlord Poison?" he inquired.
"Father is wise. While Yu Yuan Zhen was cultivating, I stealthily approached his vicinity, released the Overlord Poison, and then quickly withdrew.
I continuously attacked Yu Yuan Zhen with the Emerald Dragon Snake until he died!"
Dugu Feng said with some excitement.
Dugu Shuo nodded in relief. His son had utilized poison to its utmost extent.
As expected of the young master of the poison cultivation lineage.
"Then the one who abducted Tang San was also you, Feng'er!" Dugu Shuo finally made the connection.
Dugu Feng naturally admitted it, nodding slightly as he said, "If I hadn't planned to let Tang San continue to draw the attention of the Spirit Hall, I wouldn't have spared his life this time.
The Title Douluo who acted alongside Yu Yuan Zhen had a martial soul of an Earth Dragon, which must be a powerhouse from the Spirit Hall.
The conflict between the Haotian Sect and the Spirit Hall will intensify further after this incident.
And the death of Yu Yuan Zhen naturally needs to be secretly propagated by the old snake, pinning it on the Haotian Sect.
The Spirit Hall will undoubtedly pay even more attention to the Haotian Sect!"
Dugu Shuo immediately understood Dugu Feng's intention.
This was to launch another round of public opinion warfare.
"Well done, Feng'er. You've considered this very thoroughly. Having the Spirit Hall and the Haotian Sect, the two greatest powers, fight each other aligns with the interests of our family.
However, this time the Spirit Hall actually dispatched a Title Douluo to attack Tang San, which shows that the great battle between the two sides is not far off. Our family will find it hard to stay out of it!"
Dugu Shuo was still very worried.
He had experienced the great battle between the Haotian Sect and the Spirit Hall over a decade ago, due to the death of Qian Xun Ji.
Although the Haotian Sect had sealed its mountain gates.
The affiliated forces of both sides had engaged in bloody battles.
Countless soul masters had died.
Even more families had vanished.
"Before the last great battle, the relations between the Upper Three Sects and the Spirit Hall were not as tense as they are now.
Tang Chen, the Unrivaled on Land, and Qian Daoliu, the Unrivaled in the Skies, had once adventured together across the continent in their youth, leaving behind some legends.
The various powers were also quite harmonious.
But ever since the appearance of that hundred-thousand-year soul beast caused a conflict between the previous Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xun Ji, and Tang Hao.
It ultimately ended with Qian Xun Ji's sudden death and the Haotian Sect sealing its mountain gates.
The conflict came quickly and subsided quickly as well.
This time is different.
Both sides are brewing revenge. After more than a decade of biding their time and accumulating strength, once the great battle begins, it will surely end with the destruction of one side!"
Dugu Shuo's tone carried a sigh.
The longer one lives, the clearer one sees, and the more cautious one becomes.
Dugu Feng couldn't help but admire his father's insight.
At this time, there were only about four years left until the upheaval in the Heaven Dou Palace and the Soul Hunt Operation.
How Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong would launch it remained unknown.
"Father need not worry. The five elders of the Haotian Sect should all be Title Douluos by now, plus Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, that's seven Title Douluos.
In the last great battle, the Haotian Sect's direct lineage strength was not greatly damaged, with at least ten Soul Douluos or above.
The Haotian Sect's mountain gates also have the advantage of terrain. If the Spirit Hall wants to attack, they would need at least double the opponent's strength!
If they want to deal with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and us at the same time, they would need to mobilize twenty Title Douluos.
The Spirit Hall won't go all-in yet!"
Dugu Feng's eyes shone brightly.
He suddenly wondered if the Soul Hunt Operation from the original timeline would still happen?
It would definitely happen.
But whether it would be in the fifth year after the Soul Master Competition was uncertain.
Bibi Dong might advance it or delay it.
Launching it early would prevent the Haotian Sect from gaining more development time, but Bibi Dong was restricted by the divine trials, unable to fully utilize her strength.
Relying solely on people like Chrysanthemum Douluo would inevitably lead to significant losses.
If she delayed the launch until her strength grew stronger, her chances of success would naturally be greater.
How would Bibi Dong choose?
Right, there was also Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue did not want to launch the Heaven Dou Palace upheaval in a few years.
Because by then, Emperor Xue Ye would be close to death.
She could have inherited the throne normally, with no need to take risks.
It was Bibi Dong who forced Qian Renxue to launch it early.
If the Haotian Sect's strength were further exposed, making Bibi Dong hesitate, perhaps the Soul Hunt Operation would be delayed.
The more Dugu Feng thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Moreover, it would be best to have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect transfer its strength to Heaven Dou City.
Heaven Dou City had the formidable military forces of the Heaven Dou Empire.
In addition, Ning Fengzhi had been collaborating with Tang San to develop hidden weapons, and they had even brought in the divine craftsman Lou Gao to continuously research new hidden weapons.
Even low-level soul masters or soldiers could play a certain role using hidden weapons.
At that time, if Bibi Dong still wanted to launch an attack on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Dugu family, it would mean assaulting Heaven Dou City, requiring the mobilization of many more soul masters.
But the Haotian Sect was in the mountains, with no helpers.
If Bibi Dong wanted to launch the Soul Hunt Operation, let her go and clash to the death with the Haotian Sect!
At that time, it would also be a good opportunity to verify the authenticity of the information obtained from the City of Slaughter?
Had Tang Xiao and Tang Hao's father, Tang Bo, truly died?
When the Haotian Sect faced life and death, it would naturally become clear!
Dugu Feng shared his thoughts with his father.
Dugu Shuo nodded repeatedly. "Feng'er, your thinking is sound. In these coming days, come with me to Seven Treasure City to discuss this matter with Sect Leader Ning.
With Sect Leader Ning's shrewdness, he will surely sense the danger as well.
Over these years, the Empire's competition with the Spirit Hall for genius soul masters has reached a fever pitch.
They will certainly cooperate with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to strengthen Heaven Dou City's defenses together."
Dugu Shuo fully agreed with his son's suggestion.
Strictly speaking, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire were the most tightly bound powers.
The Dugu family, the Ge family, and the Wind Sword Sect were also mid-tier powers coalesced around the Heaven Dou Empire, forming a community of shared interests.
As for the Haotian Sect's relations with the Heaven Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they could only be considered allies.
And they were allies who competed and guarded against each other.
With Heaven Dou City as the center, uniting several powers to establish a formidable defense.
This would absolutely bring great security to the Dugu family.
