May Our Scheme Never Be Exposed (Bonus Chapter)

May Our Scheme Never Be Exposed (Bonus Chapter)

"Azure and yellow Soul Power fluctuations..."

Tang Hao panted like a bull, his eyes bloodshot, as if he had mad cow disease.

"Could it really be Dugu Bo and Chrysanthemum Pass?"

He could still think a little.

The azure Soul Power fluctuations could have come from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, while the yellow Soul Power fluctuations... weren't chrysanthemums that color?

In reality, Qing Luan Douluo and Radiant Feather Douluo had deliberately done this. Moreover, those who had witnessed the battle from afar naturally could not see it very clearly.

Thus, this false impression was created.

"Dugu Bo, you bastard! You've only just become a Titled Douluo, yet you dare act so brazenly!" Following the faint trace of Blue Silver Emperor aura that the two worshippers had deliberately left behind, Tang Hao rushed toward Heaven Dou City.

Dugu Bo had entered the Titled Douluo rank around five years ago. It was said that Golden Crocodile Douluo of the Worship Hall had personally presided over his investiture.

For some reason, he and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan had developed a conflict between them at some point, and they had even fought each other.

Spirit Hall placed immense importance on Soul Masters, let alone Titled Douluo.

All Titled Douluo could essentially be regarded as "honorary elders." After they died or passed away, they would be permitted burial in Douluo Hall. Therefore, Chrysanthemum Douluo had merely exchanged blows with Dugu Bo several times and had not chosen to take his life.

Otherwise, Ghost Douluo would at least have avenged his partner.

"Hm?" As Tang Hao pursued them, he began to sense that something was wrong. "Why did the aura of Ah Yin's soul bone turn here instead of heading to Heaven Dou City?"

Wasn't Dugu Bo hiding with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family?

This was because Qing Luan Douluo had deliberately taken a detour on his way out.

His speed was far beyond anything Tang Hao could compare to.

Tang Hao was now troubled. Should he go directly to Heaven Dou City, or continue following the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone?

Forget it! This wasn't the time to overthink things!

Tang Hao made up his mind.

He could not possibly mistake Ah Yin's aura. After all, he himself still possessed a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Ring.

Although there was no evidence that Soul Rings and soul bones from the same soul beast could resonate with one another, Tang Hao believed in the bond of love between himself and Ah Yin!

So, he decided to continue tracking Ah Yin's aura rather than head straight for Heaven Dou City.

What if he went to Heaven Dou City to wait for Dugu Bo, only for Dugu Bo to absorb Ah Yin's soul bone along the way... That would be far from ideal.

If that happened, Dugu Bo would likely receive another boost in strength, and another great battle would be unavoidable.

Tang Hao was not afraid of Dugu Bo, but he could not bear the thought of Ah Yin's soul bone being absorbed by someone else!

Where would he put his old face then?

Meanwhile, Tang San, who was cultivating in Nuoding City, also felt as though his heart had skipped a beat.

He had experienced this feeling once a few days ago as well.

He abruptly awoke from meditation and looked around in confusion.

He saw Grandmaster sitting at the entrance of Seven Dormitory like a guardian deity, leisurely fanning himself with a feather fan in the sun. Every now and then, he would tug at Luo Sanpao's pig ears, making it let out a string of grunts.

Damn it! Tang San cursed inwardly. If not for that unexpected complication that caused a change in my Second Soul Ring, I should be forging in a blacksmith shop in Nuoding City right now—making better hidden weapons, as well as spears or halberds for myself!

As a result, because something had gone wrong with the second ring, Yu Xiaogang had received a thorough lesson from Tang Hao.

Grandmaster now kept an extremely close eye on Tang San, practically wishing he could make him meditate and cultivate uninterrupted for more than twelve double-hours a day.

This terrified Tang San. With the previous incident as a warning, he no longer dared cultivate at full force.

At his current cultivation rate, he might reach rank thirty in just a few years. Then how was he supposed to find his beloved Man Faced Demon Spider?

In truth, it did not matter whether his Soul Ring came from a Man Faced Demon Spider. What mattered was the Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone he needed. That would become a Super Divine Tool in the future!

That External Soul Bone had practically been prepared for him by the heavens, because the process of absorbing it had been far too bizarre.

The Eight Spider Lances had entered his body automatically while he was absorbing the Soul Ring. Unlike other soul bones, it did not need to be absorbed separately.

In other words, the Eight Spider Lances had actually been a gift forcibly stuffed into his hands by the great gods in the heavens.

Perhaps they had seen him absorb a Soul Ring beyond his level for the first time and given him this reward.

Therefore, after the failure of this Second Soul Ring experiment, Tang San decided to ruthlessly suppress his cultivation speed to ensure that his early opportunities would not change again.

Of course, once the Soul Master Tournament ended—after he acquired his fourth ring—his Blue Silver Emperor could awaken, and everything would be different.

At that time, he could soar to the heavens in a single leap and "do his best" to prevent Xiao Wu from sacrificing herself.

Grandmaster let out another snoring "hmm-hmm" in his nap, sounding no different from Luo Sanpao.

By afternoon, on the other side.

At that moment, Little Shiyue was meditating in the mimicry cultivation grounds of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

After circulating the Soul Power within her body through another full cycle, she slowly opened her eyes. The earpiece hidden beneath her hair began to vibrate softly.

Her lips moved slightly, her voice barely audible. "Wait a moment."

Then she went to an unoccupied corner of the academy and reconnected to the conversation through her earpiece. "Miss, I'm here. I just came out of the training room."

She had also prepared an earpiece Soul Tool for Qian Renxue, and they shared a private channel through which they could communicate within a hundred li.

"Grandpas Azure Luan and Guang Ling have returned. They spent nearly six hours on the task, traveling a thousand li there and back," Qian Renxue's voice came through. "Fortunately, their hard work was worth it."

This "thousand-li journey" was clearly more than merely a thousand li, because according to the plan, Azure Luan would deliberately take detours on his way back. Qian Renxue had arranged for him to visit several places Dugu Bo used to frequent before finally returning to Heaven Dou City.

Moreover, during the process, he would deliberately use his wind element to disrupt traces of certain auras, all for the sake of buying time.

"Those two grandpas have worked hard. Please send them my regards," Shi Yueyi said. "Then next comes the second part of the plan. Miss, how are things on your end?"

"Everything is in place. Elder Chrysanthemum arrived ahead of schedule, and after hearing about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he went there directly with Elder Ghost. According to Grandpa Azure Luan's calculations, Tang Hao will find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well tomorrow night. I plan to go over and watch from the shadows. Are you coming?"

"Yes, of course." Shi Yueyi chuckled. "I can't wait to see him break down so badly he'll wish he could throw himself into an iron pot and stew."

"May our scheme never be exposed." Qian Renxue ended the communication.

Shi Yueyi's gaze shifted slightly as she let down her white hair again, concealing the connection between herself and Qian Renxue.

"Of course it won't."

My mood went up, down, down, and then up again, so here's an extra chapter~ Good night.
