"Humph."
Dugu Bo snorted coldly, with a bit of arrogance and loneliness in his tone:
"I'm just a villager in the mountains. I don't understand the high-sounding 'righteousness of the world' that His Holiness the Pope talks about. You don't have to talk to me about those nonsense."
"My moral principles are very simple - take revenge when you have a grudge, and retaliate when you have a grudge."
"When I kill someone, I don't care who the other person is, or whether he is a good person in the eyes of the world. If he is a threat to me, if he dares to touch someone I care about, even if the person is just an ordinary person with no power, I will not mind bullying him and letting him die without a burial place."
"The good and evil of others has nothing to do with me."
Dugu Bo looked directly at Nan Feng and said word by word:
"But I will not do things that make me feel disgusted. For example... attacking innocent women and children, or betraying those who are truly kind to me."
"Very good."
Nan Feng clapped his hands, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes:
"I just like to deal with people who can handle things clearly. Now that you say so, then things will be simple."
"I don't like that convoluted nonsense either."
Nan Feng leaned forward and lowered his voice, "Heaven Dou Imperial Family's eldest prince - Xue Qinghe, is my Spirit Hall."
"What?!"
Tang Yuehua next to him took a deep breath and almost slipped off the chair.
Nan Feng ignored Tang Yuehua's shock and continued to say to Dugu Bo:
"Next, in order to clear the obstacles, the eldest prince will take action to clean up the second and third princes. As for the method, there is a high probability of poisoning, and he will do it without anyone noticing."
"As for the fourth prince Xue Beng..."
"When the time comes, I will let the eldest prince deliberately spare his life."
"And all you need to do is cooperate with me in a play."
"I will arrange for the Spirit Hall's people to 'hunt' you, force you into a desperate situation, and then let Prince Xue Xing rescue you by 'coincidence'. From then on, in the name of repaying your kindness, you will naturally stay with Xue Xing and Xue Beng and become their guest."
"The two princes died suddenly one after another. That old fox Xue Xing will definitely be aware of it and will even suspect Xue Qinghe. In order to protect himself, he will definitely give full support to the seemingly dandy Xue Beng."
"Even if the guy doesn't notice it, I will create some clues to make him notice it."
"Then, you have been lurking next to Xue Xing and gained his absolute trust. When the time is right in the future, when the eldest prince needs to close the net..."
"Just in the name of Xue Xing, poison that old emperor Xue Ye!"
"It's best to use a chronic poison so that people can't see it and will only feel that the body is failing."
"Hiss..."
Dugu Bo only felt his scalp numb. This chain of poisonous schemes was simply chilling.
"Then what?" Dugu Bo asked in a timid voice.
"Then?"
Nan Feng spread out his hands with a relaxed and carefree look on his face:
"Then, when Xue Ye is really dying, the eldest prince can stand up and 'rectify the chaos'."
"He will blame all the deaths of the second and third princes, as well as the 'poisoning' of His Majesty the Emperor, on that ambitious Prince Xue Xing!"
"I have thought up the reasons for him: In order to support an obedient puppet emperor Xue Beng, Xue Xing became the controller behind the scenes, and even usurped the throne in the future, so he frantically killed other princes and even attacked his own brother!"
"What a perfect script."
"At that time, the eldest prince Xue Qinghe can justifiably kill the rebels, avenge his father and avenge his brother."
"After ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, he can also use this excuse to carry out a purge of those clans and nobles who have always been at odds with the royal family, and completely consolidate the imperial power."
"This way."
Nan Feng snapped his fingers and smiled brightly:
"This is how a 'benevolent and righteous emperor' with great power, perfect image, and deep love for all people was born."
Dugu Bo felt a storm in his heart.
This series of plans are interlocking and extremely vicious. They are not only aimed at the purge of the royal family, but also to fundamentally subvert the political structure of the Heaven Dou Empire.
He couldn't help but ask:
"His Holiness the Pope, Spirit Hall tried their best to support the eldest prince to ascend to the throne... for what purpose?"
"In order to make Heaven Dou Empire a vassal of the Spirit Hall? Or..."
"For what?"
Nan Feng chuckled and did not answer directly. Instead, he turned to look at Tang Yuehua, who was huddled in the corner with a pale face:
"Mrs. Yue should know about this."
"After all, when Elder Hall had a meeting before, I also mentioned it a little bit in front of your elder brother Tang Xiao. Although I didn't explain it in such detail at the time, I think Tang Xiao should understand the core idea."
"Now that Mrs. Yue knows all the details of the plan, she can go back and tell Tang Xiao the whole thing."
"But..."
Nan Feng The topic changed, and a suffocating murderous intention flashed in those purple eyes:
"It's best to keep this matter in the stomachs of you two brothers and sisters. Don't let too many people know about it, especially some elders who are not very smart."
"After all, I think you are very clear about the consequences of such a major event that subverts a country's political power if it is leaked in advance."
"Although many of the Elder Hall's old guys are still disconnected from Qian Daoliu, their butts are sitting on the Spirit Hall's side after all. Their interests are the same, and they have no reason to betray me."
"So..."
Nan Feng leaned forward and stared into Tang Yuehua's eyes:
"Once the information is leaked, we will check the source again and again. Naturally, the only channel is you Clear Sky Sect and Tang Xiao."
"If the time comes because of your lax words, Heaven Dou Empire will be in chaos, or even the world will be in chaos, which will ruin my major event."
"Then don't blame me for being cruel."
"Perhaps if this matter is exposed, Spirit Hall will be severely damaged, or even besieged by the two empires."
"But!"
"Before you and I are finished, I can guarantee you - Clear Sky Sect will definitely take the first step to cut off his descendants and leave no one alive!"
"I do what I say."
Tang Yuehua's body trembled violently, his face turned as pale as paper, and he bit his lips tightly, not even daring to breathe, let alone reply.
Seeing that Tang Yuehua was shocked, Nan Feng stopped talking and looked at Dugu Bo again:
"How about it, Dugu Bo? Can you do these things?"
Dugu Bo was silent for a moment, glanced at the sleeping granddaughter in his arms, and then at Nan Feng's eyes that were determined to win, and finally nodded:
"Doing these things... no problem."
"Although I disdain conspiracies and tricks, if it is to repay a favor and for the sake of my granddaughter, I will still use this method."
"As for the Spirit Hall's ambition to achieve hegemony by doing this, I don't want to ask more, and I don't even want to know."
Having said this, Dugu Bo raised his head, a glimmer of light flashed in his green eyes:
"However, His Holiness the Pope brought me here late at night, using coercion and inducement. The purpose... should be more than just letting me be an undercover agent, right?"
"If it's just for murder and arson, there are plenty of the Spirit Hall masters, so why bother looking for me, an old poisoner with a notorious reputation?"
"Smart."
Nan Feng snapped his fingers, the haze on his face dissipated, revealing a bright smile:
"It saves trouble to talk to smart people."
"Besides letting you be an undercover agent, I do have something else I want."
Nan Feng stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Sunset Forest:
"I want the one you hid in Sunset Forest... the mandarin duck pot."
"Yuanyang... pot?"
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Nan Feng was referring to. He was shocked and looked at Nan Feng as if he had seen a ghost:
"You mean... that spring that is cold on one side and hot on the other?"
"How do you know that place?!"
That's his secret base! It's the medicine garden he relies on for survival! The place is surrounded by poisonous formations, and the terrain is extremely hidden. No one in the world knows about it except him!
How could Pope, who is thousands of miles away, know so clearly?!
"Is it hard to guess?"
Nan Feng spread his hands with a matter-of-fact expression:
"Dugu Bo, look at yourself in the mirror. The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison of your body has already penetrated into your bones. It stands to reason that a person like you who practices poison to the point where he is almost dead from the poison should have died suddenly or be paralyzed in bed waiting to die."
"But you are not only alive and kicking, but you can also cultivate to the level of eighty-nine Soul Douluo."
"This is absolutely unreasonable."
"The only explanation is that you hold some kind of treasure, or some kind of special treasure, that can suppress or even neutralize this poison."
"Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison on your body, even if it is contaminated by Titled Douluo, you will still stay away. There are not many things in the world that can suppress such a poisonous thing."
"In addition, I observed the sky at night a few days ago and saw a precious light looming in the direction of Sunset Forest. I counted it with my fingers and naturally guessed it."
"..."
Dugu Bo was stunned for a while. Although the previous analysis sounded very reasonable, the last sentence...
"Watching the sky at night? Counting with your fingers?"
Dugu Bo looked dubious, even wanting to laugh:
"His Holiness the Pope, do you know how to divination? Isn't that a trick used by the priests from the two empires to fool the royal family?"
"Humph, that's because they are not good at studying and they are full of lies."
Nan Feng snorted disdainfully, "It is true that most of the sacrificial divination in the two empires are deceptive and are meant to cater to the emperor's preferences."
"But Soul Master's divination may not be false."
Nan Feng stood up, walked to the window, looked at the bright moon outside the window, with his back to Dugu Bo, his voice was Youyou:
"There is such a thing as destiny, whether you admit it or not, it does exist."
"Some people are destined to become gods; some people are destined to be stepping stones; and some people..."
Nan Feng turned around and took a deep look at Dugu Bo:
"It is destined to change your destiny after meeting a noble person."
"Dugu Bo, you are in good luck."
"Meet me."
