Dugu Bo is Titled Douluo, and his enemies are all over the Douluo Continent. If he were not Titled Douluo, it is uncertain whether he would still be sitting here talking today.
"Does Elder Dugu mean that someone is secretly spying on our Ye Clan?" Ye Ping'an frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Leaving aside what I said, as far as the Heaven Dou Empire is concerned, they urgently need the Ye Clan to become an affiliated sect of the empire. Ever since the royal family subdued the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, their appetite has grown bigger and bigger."
Dugu Bo strongly disagreed with joining the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, as it meant losing his freedom.
Joining the royal family certainly brings a transcendent status and identity, but with every gain comes a corresponding responsibility; the two are proportional.
"But our sect has only been established for less than two years, and we haven't had any conflicts with anyone during that time," Bai He said, shaking his head.
"Perhaps someone is eyeing the Soul Ascension Pill recipe. We've already caught the third thief this month who tried to steal it from the sect," Yang Wudi said helplessly.
Soul Ascension Pill, produced by the Ye Clan.
Other major powers and amateur Spirit Master coveted it. If it weren't for Dugu Bo in charge of the Ye Clan, someone would probably have already jumped out and said something like "Hurry up and hand over the Soul Ascension Pill formula".
Ye Tianxing was well aware of human greed; they were truly capable of anything.
"Making enemies?"
Ye Tianxing thought for a moment, then his pupils contracted.
"Sect Master, are you perhaps thinking of someone?" Niu Gao asked, looking at Ye Ping'an, whose expression had changed slightly.
Ye Tianxing remained silent, his mind preoccupied with the message sent by the Spirit Hall last night.
The Spirit Hall cancelled its plan to ambush Tang San midway, fearing that Ye Tianxing might be accidentally injured, thus exposing his identity.
Ye Tianxing initially thought that Bibi Dong had changed, but now he learned from Dugu Bo that the Ye Clan was being targeted.
Recalling Tang Hao's nearly month-long stay at the Royal Hunting Ground, and considering his own attitude towards Tang San, as well as how he had used his Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ability the day before yesterday to torture Tang San beyond recognition.
Ye Tianxing knew who was targeting him.
Tang Hao!
It means that Tang Hao wants to deal with me, and he might even make a move halfway through.
Zhao Wuji of the Shrek Academy bullied the younger one, and Tang Hao was still fiercely protective of his son. Now that I have severely injured Tang San, it is impossible for Tang Hao not to retaliate, given his character.
Anyway, Tang Hao has already lost his wife, and the sect won't let him return to his ancestral home. He has nothing to lose.
"Our journey to the Spirit Hall will not be peaceful. I have a plan."
Ye Tianxing immediately convened a small meeting, intending to lure the snake out of its hole.
Two days later.
At the gates of Heaven Dou City, rows of carriages were neatly parked outside the city, and five hundred Royal Knights soldiers were ready to depart.
Led by Ye Tianxing, the Seven Leaf Star students chatted and laughed as they found their own carriages and climbed inside.
The carriage was spacious and bright, large enough to accommodate more than seven people.
Ye Tianxing casually found a seat and sat down, looking through the gaps in the carriage at Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others who were entering Shrek Academy's carriage not far away.
Tang San limped into the carriage. He was seriously injured and it would take him more than ten days to fully recover. During this time, he needed to rest.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun's faces were covered in bruises, and some parts were still swollen. Ye Tianxing hit hard and spared no effort when he beat people, especially Tang San and Dai Mubai's group.
To Ye Tianxing's surprise, Xiao Wu actually wore a veil for the first time ever, the thick veil covering everything below her delicate nose.
Ye Tianxing guessed that Xiao Wu's face was still swollen, or perhaps the handprint he left on her pretty face had not yet faded.
This was undoubtedly fatal for Xiao Wu, who loved Tang San.
If she cannot present her perfect self to Tang San Tang San, Xiao Wu would rather never see him again in this life.
Tang San did not get into the carriage, but instead looked at the subtle gazes that were looking in their direction.
" Ye Ping'an, I, Tang San, will never let you go. Not long from now, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death."
Tang San made a harsh statement in his heart, then turned and stepped into the carriage.
Soon, the fifteen teams from the Heaven Dou Empire that were heading to the finals had assembled.
" Your His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, everyone has arrived. Shall we depart?"
The imposter Xue Qinghe surveyed the entire group, nodded expressionlessly, and said calmly, "Let's go."
"Set off!"
The entire procession drove away from Heaven Dou City, and the carriages, under the protection of soldiers, left the Heaven Dou City and gradually disappeared into the distance.
After the entire carriage procession left, a figure draped in a black robe appeared in the shadows.
" Ye Ping'an, I will make you pay tenfold, a hundredfold, for what you did to the Tang San. I originally didn't intend to touch you, but your actions and the talent you've displayed have undoubtedly become a fatal threat to the Tang San."
"I have no choice but to kill you to ensure that the Tang San can grow up smoothly."
Tang Hao followed the Heaven Dou Empire's group. Based on his understanding of the Spirit Hall, he knew that the latter would definitely set up an ambush along the way, and he would take advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters.
At that time, after quickly dealing with Ye Ping'an, they would take the opportunity to rescue their son and shift the blame onto the Spirit Hall. After all Spirit Hall had committed many evils, so they wouldn't mind taking another blame.
Tang Hao was unaware that the Spirit Hall had already cancelled its ambush plan because of Ye Tianxing.
Meanwhile, several powerful figures emerged from the Ye Clan, disguised as free Spirit Master, and left the sect in several separate groups.
They were the backbone of the sect and trusted by Ye Ping'an. They mainly disguised themselves as members of the Spirit Hall and set up ambushes on the only route for the Heaven Dou Empire.
When everything proceeded as expected, Tang Hao made a dazzling appearance.
By then, their mission will be complete.
This was Ye Tianxing's plan: he intended to kill Tang Hao once, so that he would lose face in front of everyone.
Even with his powerful strength as Titled Douluo, Tang Hao would likely break down when he stepped into the trap set by Ye Tianxing.
Ye Tianxing looked forward to it.
The journey from Heaven Dou City to the Spirit Hall took twenty days, and the route had been agreed upon well in advance.
In the group, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe served as the envoy of the Heaven Dou Empire, with Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo accompanying him throughout the journey, responsible for protecting the His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's safety.
Ye Tianxing rested his chin on his hand, idly gazing at the scenery outside the carriage. If it weren't for that bastard Tang Hao, he would have already arrived at the Spirit Hall by now.
It's been five days since I left Heaven Dou City, and the journey has been incredibly boring.
Hu Hai and Hu Feng are arm wrestling to see who is stronger. Yang Wumian is sitting cross-legged with the Soul Breaking Spear in his hand. Niu Batian is exercising his arm muscles, raising and lowering the dumbbells. Ning Rongrong and Bai Chenxiang are whispering to each other.
"That bastard Tang Hao, couldn't he have come sooner?"
Ye Tianxing urged himself on.
