Start Acting as a Replacement

At this moment, Jin E also came out and said to Jin Hao,

"Xiao Hao, these two sworn guards of our family only have the strength of Spirit Dourol, but as long as they are still alive, they will not let anything happen to you."

Then Jin E handed over a Storage Ring and continued,

"This Storage Ring has a space of one hundred cubic meters. Inside are some cultivation resources I prepared for you, as well as the Whale Glue you wanted. The Spirit Bone your Great Grandfather promised you has also been selected by me. It is not the original eighty-thousand-year Spirit Bone, but a ninety-two-thousand-year Bright Divine Bird skull. Furthermore, it is an intelligence Spirit Bone, which just happens to suit your Myriad Manifestations Mirror Martial Soul and make your copying even more powerful."

Hearing this, Jin Hao's eyes widened. Jin Hao had long since heard about this Spirit Bone from his grandfather, Jin E—an intelligence Spirit Bone passed down within the Angel Family, and its previous owner was none other than Qian Xunji.

Jin E had set his sights on it ever since Jin Hao awakened the Myriad Manifestations Mirror Martial Soul, but in the past, Jin E had found it difficult to bring up. After all, it was a family-inherited Spirit Bone. But now things were different. Qian Daoliu had said with his own mouth that the next Angel Martial Soul inheritor, Qian Renxue, had the possibility of becoming a god. Becoming a god meant she would not need other Spirit Bones, and she could simply wait for the final Angel God Armor. So why not take it out and give it to Jin Hao?

Therefore, when Jin E returned to the Elder Hall with Qian Daoliu, he voiced his thoughts. Qian Daoliu listened to Jin E's words and felt that it was indeed the case. Coupled with the lingering feeling in his heart that he had wronged Jin Hao, he agreed.

Hearing this, Jin Hao used his spirit power to probe the Storage Soul Guidance Device and sensed that ninety-two-thousand-year Spirit Bone. Upon seeing this Spirit Bone, Jin Hao decided to find an opportunity to absorb it after arriving at the Heaven Dou Empire.

Jin Hao did not have the mindset that he must absorb Spirit Rings of one hundred thousand years or more. For Jin Hao, enhancing his current strength was what mattered.

Besides, if he eventually became a god, his entire set of Spirit Bones would transform into divine gear, so what did it matter how many tens of thousands of years a Spirit Bone was? Increasing his strength right now was the absolute truth.

Seeing that Jin Hao had accepted all the items, Qian Daoliu spoke up,

"Xiao Hao, because of Xue'er this time, Great Grandfather has wronged you. Be careful with everything when you go to the Heaven Dou Empire. If anything happens, have someone send a message back, and Spirit Hall will handle it for you. If your identity is exposed and you are in danger, return directly. With Spirit Hall as your backing, you do not need to fear anyone."

After saying this, Qian Daoliu took out a mask, handed it to Jin Hao, and continued,

"This is a special Spirit Bone of Spirit Hall. You do not need to absorb it. Just wear it on your face, and you can transform into any person, and your aura will be the same. As long as you do not take this mask off, no one else will be able to discover it."

Hearing this, Jin Hao was overjoyed. With his Myriad Manifestations Mirror Martial Soul to mimic other people's Martial Souls, and this mask to mimic other people's appearance, physique, and aura, he would be able to transform into anyone at will. The operational space for his upcoming infiltration would be vast, and the process would also be much more fun.

Then Jin Hao spoke up,

"Two Grandfathers, then I will set off. Do not worry about me."

After speaking, Jin Hao said to the four people protecting him by his side,

"Let's set off."

Subsequently, Jin Hao led the four guards and rushed toward the Soul Beast Forest where Xue Qinghe was located.

Along the way, Jin Hao was still thinking about one thing: what kind of Martial Soul should he evolve his Swan Spirit into when he disguised himself?

Right now, Jin Hao had two choices in his mind. One was a top-tier healing soul beast, the Emerald Swan, and the other was a mutated Martial Soul of the Swan Spirit—the Ice Crystal Swan, a top-tier Ice Attribute Martial Soul.

One was ultimately for healing and support, while the other was an ice-attribute Assault System Martial Soul.

It depended on which one Jin Hao wanted to choose. After mulling it over and over, Jin Hao chose the latter. After all, neither choice would affect Jin Hao's own strength, but an assault system Martial Soul in this Heaven Dou Imperial Family, which lacked offensive power, was something Jin Hao believed would seize the initiative. Jin Hao refused to believe that Xue Ye hoped the successors following him would all have Martial Souls without any offensive power.

After all, uniting with no matter how many sects was not as comforting as having strength in one's own hands. Relying on a father or mother is never as good as relying on oneself.

Having made his decision, what Jin Hao needed to do now was to make the evolution of his Martial Soul appear reasonable.

Therefore, Jin Hao called out to the Serpent Lance Douluo beside him,

"Elder Serpent Lance, go capture a thousand-year Ice Crystal Swan. I will need it later when replacing Xue Qinghe."

Hearing this, Serpent Lance immediately set off to capture an Ice Crystal Swan.

Soon, after seven days of traveling, Jin Hao led his people to the front of the Soul Beast Forest where Xue Qinghe was.

At this moment, a member of Spirit Hall came before Jin Hao and spoke,

"Young Master Jin Hao, currently Xue Qinghe and those helping him hunt for a Spirit Ring are still inside the forest. We received orders from the Great Elder to rush ahead of them and eliminate all the soul beasts they needed, making it impossible for them to find a suitable soul beast to absorb a Spirit Ring."

Then this person took out a book, handed it to Jin Hao, and spoke,

"Young Master, this is the daily routine and relationship chart of Xue Qinghe recorded under the Pope's instructions over the past few months. It will be useful when you infiltrate."

Jin Hao took the recorded materials, nodded, and let the person leave.

After doing all this, before Jin Hao could even say anything, Pufferfish Douluo directly made a move and killed the man.

At this time, Pufferfish Douluo spoke,

"Young Master, your infiltration cannot be known by a person like this. Besides, he is the Pope's person and cannot be left alive."

Seeing this scene, Jin Hao did not say anything and simply nodded.

Subsequently, the group quickly entered the Soul Beast Forest.

Soon, they discovered Xue Qinghe and the two people hunting a Spirit Ring for him—two Spirit Emperors—in the forest.

Upon seeing them, Jin Hao said nothing. Now they were just waiting for Serpent Lance Douluo to bring back the Ice Crystal Swan so they could make their move.

It did not make Jin Hao wait long before Serpent Lance Douluo returned, riding a twelve-hundred-year Ice Crystal Swan.

Seeing Serpent Lance return, Jin Hao spoke up,

"Begin the operation."

After speaking, Serpent Lance charged straight out, wielding the Ice Crystal Swan in his hand and rushing toward Xue Qinghe and the other two.

Facing the sudden appearance of Serpent Lance, Xue Qinghe was greatly startled and shouted there,

"Who is it? You actually dare to come and kill this prince! Are you not afraid of the Heaven Dou Empire's retaliation?"

Hearing these words, Serpent Lance did not care at all. With a single move, he eliminated one of the guards. As for the other, he waited until the guard sent out a distress signal to ensure the Heaven Dou Empire knew about it, and then beat him into a heavy injury without taking his life directly.

Then, when that guard was paralyzed on the ground with only a breath left, right in front of his eyes, Serpent Lance took out the remaining breath of the Ice Crystal Swan and forced Xue Qinghe's hand to personally kill this Ice Crystal Swan.

Subsequently, he even controlled Xue Qinghe to absorb the Spirit Ring of this millennium Ice Crystal Swan. Seeing this scene, the guard who was left with only one breath immediately passed out.
