Setting his sights on Dugu Bo

The battle had only lasted a minute when Wu Qi was already showing signs of fatigue.

If we don't change our battle strategy in time, we will surely be worn down by Hunter.

Wu Qi himself was skilled in ranged attacks, but against Hunter, his attacks were utterly insignificant.

Furthermore, his air combat advantage was also limited by the Flame Domain.

Although he is unaffected by the anti-air effect within the Domain of Destruction, he will also lose his air superiority once he loses his ranged advantage.

In addition, he also has an advantage in close-quarters combat.

But with the recent surprise attack, Hunter must have been prepared, making it almost impossible to replicate.

Wu Qi couldn't give up his close-range advantage, so he had to come up with other ways to close the distance.

On the other side, Qiangu Changkong Kong kept a close eye on the lit One Incense Stick, his heart filled with anxiety. "Wu Ge, keep going! Only a short time has passed."

Compared to his anxiety, Hu Liena and the other two were somewhat at a loss.

The sudden appearance of a powerful figure like Hunter on the mainland poses a significant threat to the Spirit Hall. They don't know if he's friend or foe, and they also don't know Wu Qi's motives for challenging him to a duel.

The three knew that Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong possessed a great secret, but surely that wouldn't warrant a Limit Douluo being completely obedient to them?

If such an unknown powerful figure appears on the continent, and if we do not unite all the forces within the palace to eliminate him, he will surely become a scourge in the future.

Sea Horse Douluo and his group finally arrived at Heaven Dou City.

The group consisted of experts at the Soul King or above, so their travel speed was quite fast. In addition, Sea Horse Douluo had been traveling almost non-stop in order to complete the mission as soon as possible.

Upon arriving in Heaven Dou City, the group was accommodated by the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect and rested at a Hotel within the city.

But Sea Horse Douluo can't rest yet. He doesn't have a direct understanding of the situation in Heaven Dou City. He still needs to contact the Imperial Family. If he doesn't understand the situation and breaks a taboo, he'll be in trouble.

Now, the Two Great Empires are at war on the border, but Star Luo City and Heaven Dou City present two completely different scenes.

Star Luo City had already implemented martial law and strictly prohibited outsiders from entering or leaving at will, creating a scene resembling a formidable enemy at hand.

In contrast, Heaven Dou City was not significantly affected by the war. Apart from a slight increase in the prices of some military supplies, the lives of the people were not greatly affected.

The disciples of the Clear Sky Sect attributed this to the national circumstances!

The Star Luo Imperial Family family took an extremely firm stance, not allowing any major sects to emerge within their territory. Even the Clear Sky Sect was not permitted to establish its headquarters near Star Luo City.

In contrast, the Heaven Dou Royal Family is more willing to relinquish power, or rather, they are incapable of managing these major sects. As long as the major sects are willing to support the rule of the Xue Family of Heaven Dou, they can all thrive within the Heaven Dou Empire.

The Heaven Dou City is partly due to the fact that the war has not affected the area, and the two sides on the border are at a balance of power, so the people are full of confidence and there is no panic.

With the Righteous Unity Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect working behind the scenes, no one dared to cause trouble in Heaven Dou City.

"Righteous Unity Sect, what kind of sect is that? What is the strength of the strongest member of the sect?" Sea Horse Douluo had never heard of this sect before and knew nothing about it.

But to be on par with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, its strength must be considerable.

Tang Shang, a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, replied, "Your Majesty, the Righteous Unity Sect is a newly established sect in recent years. It's just that they were born at the wrong time; otherwise, with their strength, they would likely be ranked second among the Seven Great Sects on the continent."

This was also the result of the secret struggle between Bibi Dong and Wu Qi.

To promote the Seven Great Sects, Bibi Dong went to great lengths. She was already displeased that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had taken the biggest prize; now, with the Righteous Unity Sect taking second place, all her hard work would have been for naught.

Of course, even without the status of one of the Seven Great Sects, the influence of the Righteous Unity Sect should not be underestimated.

"Their sect leader is named Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, who was once contemptuously called 'the most worthless Title Douluo on the continent,' but due to some unknown fortuitous encounter, his strength has rapidly increased, and he has now stepped into the threshold of Super Douluo. In addition, there are quite a few Soul Douluo powerhouses in his sect, possibly more than six in number."

Sea Horse Douluo was slightly surprised and said, "The emergence of a major sect will inevitably be constrained by various forces, leading to the failure of the plan to establish a sect. Does Dugu Bo have much power? Why hasn't anyone intervened to disrupt things?"

The establishment of a major sect will inevitably squeeze out and annex the interests of other forces. Once the outside world learns of this, they will surely suppress it relentlessly. Even Sea Horse Douluo, who has lived on the secluded Sea God Island for a long time, understands the implications. How could the families on the mainland, who have been scheming against each other for so long, not see this clearly?

Tang Shang smiled awkwardly, not quite sure about it. "Dugu Bo owed Prince Xue Xing a favor in his early years and was close to the Imperial Family. Later, for some reason, the two drifted apart. As a result, after Xue Qinghe ascended the throne, Prince Xue Xing, having lost the protection of a powerful figure, was subsequently purged by Xue Qinghe."

"It seems that Dugu Bo switched allegiance to Xue Qinghe midway through, or perhaps Xue Qinghe shielded him from a lot of external pressure when the Righteous Unity Sect was established, in order to win him over."

Seahorse Douluo's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What kind of person is Poison Douluo Dugu Bo? If possible, we might as well start with the Gathering Righteousness Sect and ask them to help introduce us."

Going directly to the Heaven Dou Royal Family would be too abrupt; having an intermediary would give them some leverage.

If you can connect with Dugu Bo and develop a close friendship, it will be much easier to obtain the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud with his help.

As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a sect that only cares about profit, how could they possibly help him introduce the Heaven Dou Emperor? I'm afraid that the moment they went to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, negative news about them would spread throughout the city.

Even if Ning Fengzhi didn't do that, given the size of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a mere low-level Titled Douluo wouldn't be enough to make them take him seriously, let alone offer them any help.

After a moment's thought, Tang Shang explained the pros and cons, "Dugu Bo was eccentric and violent in his younger years, almost utterly wicked. But since his strength increased, he has become much more low-key, and no more news of him has surfaced."

"After the establishment of the Righteous Unity Sect, Dugu Bo lived a secluded life, and his granddaughter Dugu Yan also managed the sect. They rarely traveled on the continent, so it would be quite difficult to establish contact with the Righteous Unity Sect."

"Oh, by the way, after the Righteous Unity Sect was established, Dugu Bo made quite a few friends,"

Sea Horse Douluo chuckled and waved his hand, "It's alright. Now that this Poison Douluo's mindset has changed, he should be easier to approach."

"Brother Tang Shang, I will send you a formal letter of introduction tomorrow, and I will personally go to meet this Poison Douluo."

Dugu Bo is, after all, Super Douluo. Even the Sea Horse Douluo would feel pressured facing him directly.

Perfect timing, I have some time to think things through tonight.
