The Soul Guidance Cannonballs About to Explode! The Plot to Seize the Diamond Snare
I don't eat beef!
The next day, in the evening.
As the sun began to set in the west, beautiful afterglow spread across the sky, painting the sky with the wonderful light before the blue hour.
Star Luo Grand Hotel.
"Jiang, how was your meal today? How are you feeling?"
In the corridor, Yuanen Yehui, dressed in a long black dress, her dark red eyes rippled, and her beautiful face was flushed. She softly asked Jiang Xiu in front of her.
"Extremely delicious." Jiang Xiu said with a slight smile.
After winning third place in the Individual Tournament, Yuanen Yehui couldn't wait to take Jiang Xiu out for a big meal as promised.
"Then... then see you tomorrow." Having received a reply, Yuanen Yehui felt a slight sense of relief, a smile appearing on her cool and beautiful face as she softly said.
"I see," Jiang Xiu said with a smile and a slight nod.
Then, under Jiang Xiu's watchful gaze, Yuanen Yehui disappeared lightly around the corner and entered her room.
"Bang!" As soon as she entered the room, Yuanen Yehui leaned against the door, her red lips slightly upturned, her beautiful eyes shimmering with pleasure, and her reserve lessened somewhat.
Immediately, Yuanen Yehui lightly placed the box she was carrying on the table, then took out her diary from her Storage Soul Tool, the pen tip spinning continuously on it.
"Great! I successfully treated Jiang to a big meal today, and he loved it!"
"Now that my father's matter is settled, it turns out I misunderstood Grandpa. I need to find a time to apologize to him."
"Also, it turns out they've been secretly protecting me all along. I'm not alone... I really hope this kind of life can continue forever."
"However, I must continue to cultivate diligently and strive to reach the Soul King level as soon as possible to resolve the issue of the Fallen Angel Martial Soul. Only with sufficient strength can I Guardian everything we have now!"
After writing all this, Yuanen Yehui smiled and slowly closed the diary that bore the words "My Struggle".
"But why does this dish taste so bitter? Do rich people all like to eat this? Luckily, Jiang Xiu didn't get to eat it."
Yuanen Yehui looked at the box she had just put down, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion. Inside was a dish that had just been packed from the hotel.
As for why she wanted to take the bitter dish home...
After all, money was spent...
As soon as Jiang Xiu returned to his room, he felt a slight movement in the space, and a burly figure appeared in his room.
"Senior Zhentian, what brings you here?" Upon seeing Yuanen Zhentian appear, Jiang Xiu poured him a cup of tea and asked softly.
"Young friend Jiang, I believe you have also learned from Tiandang that the Green Skull has buried three Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell in the Star Luo Stadium, waiting to be detonated after the final tomorrow."
At that time, the Star Luo Stadium will be razed to the ground, and almost all the Soul Master inside will be destroyed.
Yuanen Zhentian took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice:
"So I'd like to ask you, young friend Jiang, if you have any ideas. If not, I will inform the Star Luo Imperial Family and ask them to stop the competition. After all, we can't let so many Soul Master perish here."
"Senior Zhentian, have you found his accomplices?" Jiang Xiu asked, his eyes flashing.
Even if Yuanen Zhentian hadn't come to him today, he would have, since the Green Skull was related to his plan to obtain the divine artifact Diamond Snare tomorrow.
"We've found him." Yuanen Zhentian nodded slightly. "From what I overheard their conversation, his accomplice is none other than the Dark Phoenix, one of the Four Great Dark Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult."
Upon hearing the name Dark Phoenix, a glint of light flashed in Jiang Xiu's eyes, and he slowly asked, "Does Senior Zhentian know where this Dark Phoenix is hiding?"
"That's natural, but I've been watching her for several days and found that she has never left her hiding place, and the Green Skull was the one who arranged the Fixed-Load Soul Guidance Cannonball," Yuanen Zhentian said.
"Oh? She didn't make a move?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly, and for a moment he understood that the Holy Spirit Cult was simply using Green Skull as a scapegoat.
However, this actually benefits his plan.
Immediately, Jiang Xiu spoke with a pointed remark, "Senior Zhentian, can you guarantee that Green Skull will remain unconscious from now until the end of the competition tomorrow?"
"That's certainly possible." Yuanen Zhentian frowned, and although he didn't know what Jiang Xiu was going to do, he still nodded slightly.
"In that case, I do have a plan that can guarantee nothing will happen tomorrow," Jiang Xiu said with a slight smile, his words carrying a deeper meaning.
"Tell me about it," Yuanen Zhentian asked curiously.
Jiang Xiu then told Yuanen Zhentian about his plan, Yuanen Zhentian's eyes lit up slightly after hearing it.
Sure enough, he was right to come to Jiang Xiu.
"Senior Zhentian, since the detonator is in Green Skull's hands, let's let him sleep soundly without him noticing," Jiang Xiu said meaningfully.
"However, there is one thing I don't understand. Why keep it alive? Wouldn't it be better to just get rid of it?" Yuanen Zhentian said with a slight frown.
Jiang Xiu coughed lightly and said, "Isn't this meant to lure out the Dark Phoenix?"
After all, he couldn't very well leave Green Skull alive to cause trouble at the end of the finals and draw fire for his attack on the Royal Treasury.
Of course, keeping the Green Skull was also partly to lure out the Dark Phoenix.
"That makes sense. Then I'll split up with Tiandang; one of us will go to Star Luo Stadium, and the other will lure Green Skull away."
After checking the time, Yuanen Zhentian immediately spoke.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, senior." Jiang Xiu said with a slight bow.
"It's alright, as long as Yuanen Yehui and you are safe." Yuanen Zhentian waved his hand, and his figure slowly merged into the space again.
After confirming that Yuanen Zhentian had left, Jiang Xiu's purple eyes suddenly turned into Blood Pupil, and five figures appeared in front of him with a wave of his hand.
These five figures were none other than the Ant Emperor, the Six-Claw Demon Emperor, the Ba Emperor, the Sky Ox Emperor, and the Sage Emperor.
"Tomorrow we will seize the divine artifact Diamond Snare. The Star Luo Empire is heavily guarded. To open that ancient defensive formation, it will take the combined efforts of two Quasi-God level Limit Douluo. And the Star Luo Empire still has two Limit Douluo."
"I think you're all ready," Jiang Xiu said slowly.
"Rest assured, my the Master, we are here to help!" Sage Emperor said confidently, stroking the book in his hand.
"Alright, everything will proceed as planned tomorrow!" Jiang Xiu gazed into the distance at the gradually enveloping night outside the window and asked softly.
The Abyss King, including Sage Emperor, stood quietly behind Jiang Xiu, gazing at the distant Star Luo Imperial Palace.
Night Advent.
The Royal Guard guarding the Star Luo Stadium took turns on duty, and Green Skull took a deep look at the Star Luo Empire behind him before preparing to rest.
At the same time, he was already eagerly anticipating tomorrow.
But just then, an arm was draped over his shoulder. "Hey bro, didn't you say we'd go out for dinner together tonight? Which way are we going?"
Upon hearing this, Green Skull froze. Before replacing this Royal Guard, he had made sure of his identity. Why was someone inviting him to dinner? Had he failed to investigate properly?
But remembering that tomorrow was the final moment, and not wanting to arouse suspicion, Green Skull smiled at the person with his arm around his shoulder and said, "How could that be? I just forgot for a moment. Where do you suggest we go to eat?"
Yuanen Tiandang, with his arm around Green Skull, said with a deep smile in his eyes, "Of course, we're going to our secret base."
With that, Yuanen Tiandang put his arm around Green Skull and walked toward a tavern in a small alley.
"Luckily, the mistake wasn't exposed."
Green Skull breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he was quick-witted enough to have this person lead him instead of taking him himself.
But... why did this person choose such a remote location...?
Soon the two arrived at a small tavern, where they "skillfully" began to clink glasses and exchange toasts.
After a few rounds of drinks, Yuanen Tiandang seemed to sense something, and with a slight smile, he pushed a plate of beef next to him toward Green Skull.
"Come on, eat!"
The Green Skull paused for a moment, then said evasively, "Didn't I already say I don't like beef?"
Beforehand, he had thoroughly investigated this person's preferences.
"Huh? You're not eating! So disrespectful? Besides, wasn't it your favorite food before?" Yuanen Tiandang, his expression instantly turning displeased, as if he were drunk.
He even asked with a hint of suspicion, "Aren't you my brother Wang Erzhu?"
Green Skull cursed inwardly, "Can this person's tastes really change?" But seeing that Yuanen Tiandang was about to shout, he quickly said, "How could I not be!"
With that, the Green Skull stuffed the beef from the plate into his mouth.
"Look, I love to eat the most," the Green Skull chuckled.
But he noticed that Yuanen Tiandang was opposite him, had a cold smile on his lips.
"You actually ate it when I told you to!"
"Um?"
Green Skull frowned, about to say something, when he suddenly felt a huge, steel-like hand grip his neck from behind!
Oh no! I have a plan!
