The first night of the preliminary round. Today's day was packed with schedule. A total of more than 20 teams were disqualified in the first round.
During their first tour, they seemed to be deeply curious about Mingdu, the largest city in the mainland, and were in no hurry to leave Mingdu.
At the Mingyue Hotel, Xu Jiujiu, Wei Na, and Zhang Lexuan ended their talks again. Zhang Lexuan stood up and said one last time: "Your Royal Highnesses, since you have made your decision, Le Xuan will leave." She bowed slightly and left Xing Luo's suite.
As soon as Zhang Lexuan left, the two imperial princesses Xu Jiujiu and Wei Na started talking. Wei Na smiled, looked at Jiujiujiu, and asked softly: "Jiujiu, since you Xingluo learned in advance that the Sun and Moon Empire would use this competition to take action against the Three Kingdoms of the Mainland, why didn't you tell such important news again? Tell all the major sects?”
"Wouldn't it be better if we could get more support and help from experts from various sects?" Xu Jiujiu also responded with a smile: "Weina, the more people know about this kind of top-secret information, it will cause panic and fight. Naturally, the fewer people who know about disrupting the competition and the progress of the plan, the better.”
"However, I have sent people to notify all the sects in the Star Luo Empire in advance, hinting that they should not rush to leave Mingdu after they are eliminated."
"If they insist on leaving, then in order to prevent our plan from being leaked, we have to sit back and do nothing." Wei Na laughed: "Jiujiu, according to this, this siege of the Sun and Moon Empire can actually help the Star Luo Empire. Have you eradicated some disobedient sect forces?" A strange light flashed in Xu Jiujiu's eyes: "Weina, didn't your Tianhun Empire do the same thing?" Weina did not deny it, but just looked at her with a smile. .
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was a little awkward, and the two titled Douluo who protected them both remained silent.
The major sects, especially the powerful sects far away from the capitals of various countries, are definitely a source of instability within the empire.
Generally speaking, these sects maintain due etiquette with the royal family. The emperor and his ministers also secretly informed some sects of the Sun Moon Empire's conspiracy in secret letters for a long time, and asked them to send strong men from the sect to protect their disciples.
However, some sects did not know the specific content. All along, sects, especially sects whose inheritance is based on blood and martial arts, have always been for their own interests and development, and do not have so much sentiments about the country.
Even if your own country dies, as long as you submit to the enemy, these powerful sects can still be passed on.
Like the Noumenon Sect, there are very few sects that protect the country and even the leader is willing to seek death after the fall of the country. Regardless of whether they had the intention to kill with a borrowed knife or not, Xing Luo and Tian Hun did not want outsiders to influence their plans.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in the minds of both of them for a long time.
"Since the initiative has always been in our hands, I can give you a suggestion." A ripple suddenly flashed in the air on the sofa, and Huo Yuhao's figure appeared in the room at some point.
Nebula Douluo Manyi stared at Huo Yuhao with his clear eyes and sighed in his heart. Although she had been mentally prepared and used all her mental strength to monitor the room and guessed that Huo Yuhao might appear here, with her concentration, she only found an almost imperceptible mental fluctuation and could not pinpoint it accurately.
The super Douluo behind Wei Na noticed Huo Yuhao this time, but he didn't say anything. After taking a look, he put his hands behind his hands and looked out the window.
Neither Xu Jiujiu nor Wei Na were surprised by Huo Yuhao's sudden appearance. After seeing him, the atmosphere between the two relaxed a bit.
Xu Jiujiu asked: "Yuhao, what suggestions do you have?" Huo Yuhao said: "Xu Tianran's plan is to kill all the teams from the three mainland countries in one go. He will not let go of those teams that are leaving Mingdu due to being eliminated. ."
"But on the surface, before the competition comes to an end, he cannot send out the Sun and Moon Army to take action directly, so the task of capturing those teams will be completed by the Holy Spirit Cult."
"The people responsible for arresting people this time are the Seventh Elder of the Holy Spirit Sect, Masked Douluo, and the two worshipers from the worship hall."
"There are three titled Douluo in total, plus some Soul Douluo and Soul Saints under their command."
"But in order not to alert others, they will arrest people far away from Mingdu, and they are required to capture them alive. It will definitely take a lot of time to come back and forth."
"At this point, your two princesses must have understood what I am going to say, right?" At this point, Huo Yuhao paused and showed an evil smile.
Xu Jiujiu and Wei Na were so smart that they understood what he meant without waiting for him to clarify.
"What you mean is that we can use some of the eliminated sect teams as bait. When they leave Mingdu and return home, we can gather strong men to kill all the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Sect in one fell swoop." Huo Yuhao nodded. Glancing at Wei Na: "I think Master Poison alone might be enough. But if you decide to do this, you must do it quickly and extremely covertly."
"I can only grasp part of the Holy Spirit Cult's trends. I'm not sure of the whereabouts of the two Extreme Douluo, but they should be in the palace." Without much thought, Xu Jiujiu and Wei Na agreed to Huo Yuhao's proposal.
The Holy Spirit Cult is indeed very powerful. In order to capture the person, they sent out three titled Douluo, plus some powerful subordinates.
For those weak sects that were eliminated early, such strength is definitely more than enough to capture them.
It's a pity that all these people combined are not enough to impress one person, let alone other powerful people like Xing Luo and Tian Hun.
Huo Yuhao smiled: "If you believe me, I can bring the elders of the Holy Spirit Sect over in batches and let you eliminate them."
"This is a good way to wipe out the Holy Spirit Cult." He sighed for a long time,
"But this matter still needs to be considered in the long run. After all, the Holy Spirit Cult still has two Extreme Douluo."
"The military of the Sun and Moon Empire should also be careful. Our people have not yet detected any unusual movements in the military, but Xu Tianran definitely wants to avoid alerting the enemy."
"Yuhao, what you have to do now is to hide yourself, don't rush for success and expose yourself."
"Let's do it step by step." Huo Yuhao nodded gently after listening to Xu Jiujiu's implicitly concerned instructions.
The conversation continued for a while.
"Jiujiu, Yuhao, I'll take my leave first." Wei Na stood up and was about to leave the suite with the Super Douluo who protected her.
Huo Yuhao suddenly called her.
"Your Highness Wei Na." Wei Na stopped and said, "Yuhao, do you have any other news to tell me?"
"Please tell Huo Qiu'er to stop her from running around in Mingdu. It's quite dangerous." Wei Na smiled and said: "This cousin of yours has never been idle. She is in Tiandou City. I often leave the palace and spend a whole day wandering around the city." Do you really like shopping?
Huo Yuhao grumbled in his heart, but he still said: "It doesn't matter if you go shopping in Tiandou City. Now is not the time to go to Mingdu. You should keep an eye on her." It's fake that she is in danger. It's better to ask her not to pester him again. real.
"I will tell her." Wei Na smiled gracefully and left the room. Huo Yuhao stood up and was about to leave: "Okay, Your Highness, it's time for me to leave." However, Xu Jiujiu showed a puzzled expression, and Nebula Douluo beside him also had a strange expression.
"Yuhao, when did you have a cousin?" Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and then said, "I just recognized her." After saying that, he swayed and disappeared into the room.
It took a long time for the doubts on Xu Jiujiu's face to dissipate. She sighed and said to Xingyun Douluo: "Grandma Manyi, please contact Grandpa Tian." Wei Na returned to the suite where the Snow Demon Sect was located, and smelled the smell as soon as she entered the door. A hint of gunpowder.
Long Aotian sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression, not hiding his anger. The other Noumenon Sect disciples did not dare to look at him.
In the originally luxurious room, there were several damage caused by the battle. Seeing Wei Na's arrival, Muxue hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "Your Highness, you are back." Wei Na frowned and asked, "What happened? Why is Aotian so angry?" She glanced at the other Noumenon Sect disciples in the hall. Everyone was there, but Huo Qiuer was not seen.
"Where is Huo Qiu'er?" Mu Xue hesitated: "After Huo Qiu'er came back, she suddenly started to inquire about the three major underground forces in Mingdu. The young sect leader was confused as to why she asked about this, but Qiu'er..."
"What's wrong with Qiu'er?"
"Qiu'er said that she was going to participate in the underground soul mentor competition held by the three major underground forces in Mingdu. This also aroused the dissatisfaction of the young sect leader, and the two...the two of them had a conflict." Wei Na looked at the room with a wry smile. Both of them must have kept the traces of the battle, otherwise the building would be demolished by these two people if they really tried.
Huo Qiu'er was also a strange being in the Noumenon Sect. After Huo Yuhao, he was the second person to have a dispute with Long Aotian over the soul guide, and not just once or twice.
When there is a dispute, it is very simple to distinguish who is right and who is wrong, just compare who has the bigger fist. In terms of physical strength, Long Aotian, who had already broken through to the Soul Saint, was still stronger, but Huo Qiuer jumped out of the window and ran away. He couldn't stop her and didn't bother to chase her.
The relationship between Wei Na and Huo Qiu'er got closer, so she stepped forward and persuaded with a smile: "Aotian, if Qiu'er wants to go, just let her go. The sect master has already banned the sect disciples from practicing soul tools. Are you done?" Long Aotian didn't pay much attention to the conflict with his fellow disciples, let alone Huo Qiu'er, who was the strongest among the younger generation besides him.
He snorted softly, his temper had improved a lot, and he muttered: "The Huo family is all of a virtuous nature."... Huo Yuhao strolled in the corridor of the hotel and walked downstairs.
"It's really amazing." He smiled self-deprecatingly.
"If there is really any clever strategy, there is none. It's just a matter of who has the information that the other party doesn't have." The Snow Emperor's cold voice sounded: "It seems that Huo Qiu'er's words still have feelings for you. , you sought help from the forces you could unite. Didn’t you act silently alone?”
"The evil soul master is the common enemy of the entire continent. Is there anything wrong with having the entire continent fight against it?" Huo Yuhao said calmly,
"It's a pity for the soul power of those evil soul masters, the soul power of the three titled Douluo."
"And Snow Emperor, let me correct you. I am not asking Jiujiu and the others for help. I am making suggestions to them as a consultant. Whether or not you adopt them has nothing to do with me."
"Next, it's time to find Brother Caitou." On the first floor, in the ordinary suite assigned to the Tang Sect team. Everyone in the Tang Sect is discussing tactics, and it will be their turn in the knockout round tomorrow.
After two crisp knocks on the door, Beibei opened the door. When she saw the visitor, she was stunned for a moment and said somewhat unexpectedly: "Sister?" Zhang Lexuan showed a gentle smile when she saw Beibei.
Then she walked into the room, and everyone saluted and greeted: "Hello, Senior Sister." Zhang Lexuan said: "Time is tight, so I will keep the story short."
"Mr.
Wang Dong asked doubtfully: "But hasn't the academy not clearly agreed yet?" Zhang Lexuan said: "The academy has indeed not agreed yet, but now that Tianhun and Xingluo have canceled the assassination plan, this matter has nothing to do with us." Tang When everyone heard this, they were a little confused and surprised.
They will happily discuss and express their superficial opinions on this kind of decision-making and game between the empire and the academy's senior officials, but that's all.
However, one person was extremely excited at this time.
"Why?" Everyone was stunned and focused their attention on He Caitou, who was obviously overly excited.
"How could such an important plan be canceled midway? Isn't the Sun Moon Empire going to use this competition to attack all teams?" The usual honesty and honesty in He Caitou's eyes disappeared, replaced by a look of unfamiliar disapproval. untie.
"Caitou... what's wrong with you?" He Caitou realized his gaffe, took a deep breath, and quickly calmed down.
Zhang Lexuan frowned and explained: "This is a joint decision between Tianhun and Xingluo, and assassinating the prince of a country is no different from directly declaring war." Beside He Caitou, Xiao Xiao asked with some concern: "Caitou, Are you okay?" He Caitou forced a smile: "Maybe it's because I'm under too much pressure to prepare for the competition, and I'm a little nervous. I'm going back to my room to rest first." As the leader, Tang Ya nodded, He said with concern: "Caitou, it's just a knockout competition. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Your recent practice has indeed been a bit too hard. It's good to relax a little."
"Okay, thank you, Teacher Xiaoya." He Caitou nodded, apologized, and left the table first. Zhang Lexuan didn't stay long. After delivering the message, she left the room, and before leaving, she gave Beibei a special look.
Xu Sanshi smiled and said: "Hey, Beibei, look at the way senior sister looks at you..."
"Get lost." Beibei, who was always gentle, said with a rare smile. Tang Ya looked at He Caitou's room and sighed: "Caitou has become a cultivator since he returned from the exchange at Sun Moon College. I hope he can take a good rest." Wang Dong agreed: "Yes... "Suddenly, she was stunned and looked out the door dully.
She seemed to feel a familiar breath just now. and cabbage room. The ordinary room on the lowest floor is cramped and small, with only a bed, a table, and a soul guide lamp.
He Caitou's tall body was barely lying on the bed. The simplicity on his face was gone, only a fierce look, which looked a bit scary when paired with his dark complexion.
He took out a token with a fire dragon pattern in his right hand and stared at it blankly. He has kept this Eight-clawed Fire Dragon Token from the Sun and Moon Royal Family for more than ten years.
He Caitou had already planned to secretly put on makeup and enter the palace when Xing Luo and Tian Hun assassinated Xu Tianran.
With his familiarity with the palace in his memory and this token, he had a good chance to get close to the Sun and Moon Emperor when the palace was in chaos, assassinate him with his own hands, and then take advantage of the chaos to retreat.
But now his plan was suspended. Without the assassins of Xing Luo and Tian Hun to lure away the powerful men in the palace, his chances of success are very slim.
He Caitou's eyes were bloodshot, and the hand holding the token was shaking from too much force. He couldn't wait any longer.
He can't wait!
