A Plan Targeting Tang Hao

"What?! Tang Hao wants to kill me?!"

Ye Tianxing had only just returned to Qian Renxue's residence in Heaven Dou City when he heard the news. His expression became rather colorful.

There was complexity, shock, confusion—and even excitement!

That was right. He could finally deal with Tang Hao and his son openly!

In ancient times, people cared about having a just cause before taking action. On Douluo Continent, however, such things basically did not exist. Whoever had the bigger fist had the final say.

"Is he insane? I never provoked him." Ye Tianxing went over everything that had happened in recent years. Aside from accidentally looking through Tang San's records at Spirit Hall and discovering that Tang San possessed Innate Full Soul Power and possibly a second martial soul...

Nothing else had happened, other than Tang Hao fleeing like a stray dog.

After returning from the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Qian Renxue had kept a grim face. "Tang Hao reached an agreement with Ning Fengzhi back then. As long as he provided your exact location outside, Tang Hao would come for you. Once he killed you, Tang Hao would take the blame, and Ning Fengzhi would be completely uninvolved. Tang Hao killed my father back then, and now he wants to kill you too. I will not let either of them off."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's leader, Ning Fengzhi?" A cold glint flashed through Ye Tianxing's eyes as he understood the entire chain of events.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Very good! I had planned to settle accounts with them after ascending the throne, but they just had to court death and lay their hands on you!"

Qian Renxue had already been overwhelmed by rage. Ye Tianxing quickly said, "Bibi Dong has already made plans to destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. There's no need to act so soon. The key issue right now is dealing with Tang Hao. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect only has a handful of capable people; they can't amount to much. Without Sword Bone Douluo guarding them, they might not even have a place among the Lower Four Sects."

"Ning Fengzhi is a talented man. He knows how important I am to Spirit Hall. Bibi Dong alone has already left the Upper Three Sects struggling to breathe, and we have Grandpa supporting us from behind. They would not dare act rashly. Now they've set their sights on me in order to sever Spirit Hall's future!"

Ye Tianxing sighed. "Ning Fengzhi wants his sect to develop, but he also wants to keep his actions hidden from outsiders. Tang Hao just happened to come to him and propose cooperation. Ning Fengzhi provides my exact location, while Tang Hao is a madman anyway, and his hatred for Spirit Hall is known across the entire continent. Once I die, Spirit Hall's fury will naturally be redirected entirely onto Tang Hao. For the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it is a transaction with nothing but benefits and no drawbacks—a sure profit with no losses."

"Then what do we do? I can't just watch you go to your death!" Qian Renxue cried anxiously, gripping Ye Tianxing's hand tightly and refusing to let go.

Ye Tianxing's face reddened without him realizing it. Only then did Qian Renxue react. She hurriedly released him and turned away, touching her pretty face. It was so hot!

The atmosphere became awkward for a moment, and neither of them spoke.

Ever since Qian Renxue emerged from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, her behavior had been rather strange.

"Now that you're back, I'll tell Grandpa about this."

Qian Renxue was about to write a letter informing her grandfather when Ye Tianxing stopped her.

"They've never seen Ye Tianxing. They only know that Spirit Hall has someone named Ye Tianxing with Twin Martial Souls. I'm currently using the alias Ye Fan. Who would know that Ye Tianxing has already arrived in Heaven Dou City? That is my advantage!" Ye Tianxing smiled mysteriously, the corners of his mouth lifting as he plotted everything out.

"What idea do you have this time?" Qian Renxue asked.

She knew Ye Tianxing was clever. When he had been very young, he had tricked Bibi Dong once and even made the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape suffer.

Seeing his extremely punchable expression now, Qian Renxue felt that this life-threatening danger did not seem so terrible after all.

"I can use your Soul Bone skill to freely alter my appearance. That is my advantage. Whether I call myself Ye Fan, Ye Quan, or Lord Ye Loves Dragons, no one would care. They've never seen me; at most, they have a portrait. A painting differs greatly from the real person, especially when there are no photographs."

Ye Tianxing continued, "Sis, you need to understand that I'm not someone who sits around waiting to die. My usual style is to take the initiative and seek a new way to break the deadlock. This time is not a dead end, but a living game. The real key to breaking it is not me—it's you!"

"Me?" Qian Renxue asked in confusion. "What can I do? The only thing I can think of is calling for reinforcements."

"It's fine. You're already very smart."

Ye Tianxing ignored Qian Renxue's puzzled expression. She looked rather adorable that way, so it was better to let her remain confused a little longer.

Ye Tianxing reminded her, "Don't forget, you were the one who gave my information to Ning Fengzhi, and Ning Fengzhi then informed Tang Hao through his channels."

"Ning Fengzhi is a businessman, sly as a fox. Even with such a flawless opportunity, he still made you gather the information while refusing to get even a little involved himself." Ye Tianxing sneered.

Qian Renxue's face suddenly darkened. She had no teacher-student affection whatsoever for her so-called teacher; there were only mutual interests between them.

"Enough. Staying in Heaven Dou City is certainly safe, but taking the initiative might reveal the key to breaking this deadlock."

Ye Tianxing stood up and packed his luggage, intending to leave under the cover of night.

"Where are you going? The entire city is under curfew at night. You can't get out," Qian Renxue asked hurriedly.

"Suotuo City. I'll join Shrek Academy there and dismantle them from within." Ye Tianxing was brimming with confidence. At that moment, Qian Renxue used her Soul Bone skill to give him an entirely new face, and he took the alias Ye Ping'an.

"Tang Hao is at Shrek Academy?" Qian Renxue stared at him in surprise, increasingly feeling that this brat had some unspeakable secrets.

Ye Tianxing always seemed to know things that ordinary people did not. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was one such example. Since Qian Renxue had benefited from it, doubts naturally arose in her heart.

"He should be there. My Withered Wood Bow previously sensed the aura left behind after Tang Hao's Wife perished."

"Tang Hao's Wife?" Qian Renxue was even more confused. What did this have to do with Tang Hao's Wife?

She was merely a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that had died many years ago. She was not worth paying attention to.

"What if I told you that Tang Hao has a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, and one that hasn't been absorbed yet?" Ye Tianxing said temptingly.

Qian Renxue's eyes immediately lit up. "That could work!"

"While I'm there, I'll also take the Blue Silver Emperor left behind after Tang Hao's Wife perished. That thing is of great use to me."

The Withered Wood Bow's evolution was already halfway complete. The remaining half depended on the Blue Silver Emperor itself; it needed a "spirit."

Under the cover of night, Ye Tianxing left Heaven Dou City and set out for Suotuo City.

Before leaving, he made a special trip to see Dugu Bo.

"What? You want to use up your first chance to ask me to act?" Dugu Bo was somewhat puzzled.

"You want me to secretly follow Yan Yan and the others' Imperial Fighting Team, and meet with you along the way?" Dugu Bo was utterly baffled. "Did something happen?"

"Someone wants to kill me," Ye Tianxing said bluntly.

Dugu Bo's eyes darkened, and a heavy killing intent seeped from him like water.

"Don't worry. This old man will be there," Dugu Bo promised. He was definitely getting involved in this matter!
