Bone Douluo Prepares to Make His Move

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong and Luo Xuan were already traveling by carriage toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Only a handful of high-ranking figures knew that the two had left Spirit City together.

Everyone else believed that Luo Xuan had left Spirit City alone.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's spies had already begun to act.

Inside the carriage, Bibi Dong lay lazily on one side of the seat, occasionally lurking in the group chat.

From time to time, she also had to endure Luo Xuan's wandering little hands.

Having long since set up a Soul Power barrier, she asked Luo Xuan, "According to you, Qian Renxue and I both became gods. Even if we lost, why would we both die?"

If she could not win, could she not just run?

Even with her stubborn nature, if she could not escape, Qian Renxue surely could, right?

Qian Renxue had hidden in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace for so long. She should understand that as long as there was life, there was hope.

"You were supposed to win, but a god shamelessly entered the fight. Then you lost, and you died in Qian Renxue's arms while saving her."

It had to be said that Bibi Dong did still have a place in her heart for this daughter.

And it was not a small one.

At that, Bibi Dong's eyes flew wide open. Pointing at herself in disbelief, she said, "Me? I saved Qian Renxue?!"

How had she never known she was so kind?

Luo Xuan shrugged. "Whether it's true or not, you know in your heart. Could you really bear to watch Qian Renxue die before your eyes?"

"I..."

Bibi Dong was left speechless, not knowing what to say.

"Even so, how could she fail to escape? She's a god!"

Qian Daoliu, known as invincible in the sky, needed no explanation when it came to speed.

Not to mention Qian Renxue after becoming a god. If she wanted to run, even a Sea God should not have been able to catch her.

Luo Xuan shook his head. "In the end, Qian Renxue's Divine Seat was shattered, and your plea for Yu Xiaogang was completely useless."

Bibi Dong fell silent again, lost in thought.

The carriage drew closer and closer to the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had also received accurate information. Bone Douluo was preparing to leave the sect.

Ning Fengzhi suddenly called out to Gu Rong, "Uncle Gu, don't make a move immediately. First observe whether there really are no other Titled Douluo around Luo Xuan, then act."

Since they had decided to nip Luo Xuan in the bud, they had to eliminate the roots completely.

They could not let Spirit Hall find out. Even if Spirit Hall did, they only needed to reveal that Luo Xuan had betrayed Spirit Hall.

The reason they had resolved to assassinate Luo Xuan was also because he had deliberately concealed himself within Spirit Hall and had not been taken seriously by them.

Gu Rong readily agreed. "Don't worry. Leave this sort of thing to me. That old bastard is the one who needs to properly guard our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Do you need to tell me that?!"

"I'm leaving, then. He's only a Soul Douluo. He can't stop me. Wait for my good news."

Even after seeing Gu Rong agree, unease still lingered in Ning Fengzhi's heart.

Seeing his expression, Sword Douluo consoled him. "Fengzhi, don't worry. Even if the Chrysanthemum Ghosts are by Luo Xuan's side, old Bone will return safely."

A flag had been raised, but unfortunately, neither of them knew it.

"You're right. I was overthinking it. For such a trivial matter, Uncle Gu will certainly return safe and sound."

Suppressing the unease in his heart, he did not call Gu Rong back. Even if Gu Rong did not act, the unease Luo Xuan gave him was no less than what he felt now.

"Rongrong! You have no manners at all! Who told you to eavesdrop?"

Unable to find another outlet, he could only let his darling daughter bear the brunt of it.

Besides, eavesdropping was not something she should have been doing in the first place.

Ning Rongrong walked out from the corner with her head hanging low. Who would have thought that coming out to relieve herself would lead to this? She should have just held it in.

Since she had already been exposed, she still tried to act cute and muddle through, but Ning Fengzhi did not fall for it this time.

Sword Douluo did, though. "Rongrong, come here. Let Grandpa hold you."

Sticking out her soft pink tongue at Ning Fengzhi, she haughtily let Sword Douluo pick her up.

Danger? Clever Ning Rongrong had already solved it.

After coaxing Sword Douluo for a while, she asked curiously, "Father, didn't you already make a deal with Luo Xuan? Why do you still want to kill him?"

Deep down, she did not want Bone Grandpa to make a move. After all, she still wanted to get more information from Luo Xuan.

Unfortunately, she could not bring herself to say it.

"It's nothing. This isn't something you should know. Everything is for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Ning Rongrong nodded vaguely. Since that was the case, there was no need for her to say anything more in the group chat, lest she affect her father's plans.

As for warning Luo Xuan? The thought never even crossed her mind.

Leaving aside how she would warn him, even if Luo Xuan was her future husband, that was only the future. Was Ning Rongrong lacking men?

Three-legged toads were hard to find, but two-legged men were everywhere.

Talent... As far as she knew, Luo Xuan's Innate Soul Power was only Rank 3. The reason he had improved so quickly must have been Whale Rubber.

If she had used Whale Rubber too, Luo Xuan would not even be worthy of carrying her shoes.

For a time, the atmosphere within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was exceptionally pleasant.

Luo Xuan in the carriage had no idea Ning Rongrong thought this way, though he could infer some of it from her loyalty level.

Time slowly passed, and several days later, Luo Xuan finally arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.

This place was not particularly far from Noding City.

On the surface, only the Soul Douluo serving as his coachman followed Luo Xuan. In truth, Bibi Dong had been hiding in the shadows all along.

She was merely waiting for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's people to walk into the trap.

However, before he even entered the Star Dou Great Forest, Luo Xuan's splendid clothes and refined young master aura had already drawn attention.

To mercenaries who lived with their lives on the edge of a blade, he clearly looked like some wealthy family's young master.

If they pulled off this job, they could live in comfort afterward.

Luo Xuan gave the Soul Douluo following him a look.

The latter immediately understood. The Soul Douluo's aura burst forth, pressing down on everyone as eight Soul Rings pulsed around him.

"Take your eyes off him. If you provoke this gentleman, you'll beg for death but won't be able to die!"

"Yes, yes, yes! We offended this young master. Please show mercy and spare our lives!"

These ill-intentioned mercenaries cursed inwardly. "Damn it, you've got a Soul Douluo as a bodyguard and still come to this godforsaken place?"

They had assumed the young master's bodyguard was at most Rank 30 or 40. If they attacked together, they might not have been unable to take him down.

But an Rank 80 Soul Douluo? What the hell were they supposed to do against that?

Was he playing at being an emperor traveling incognito?

Luo Xuan ignored them and headed toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

There were too many people. Killing them all would not look good. After all, he was a kind person who could not bear the sight of blood.

Once the two had left, every one of the mercenaries who had harbored ill intentions let out a sigh of relief.

"What a pity. Someone like that must be loaded!"

"Yeah. How about we wait until he's alone?"

That brat only had one bodyguard. The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward.

Yet before the words had even faded, every one of them exploded and died.

The bodyguard who had just left had appeared before them and killed them.

"Now the young master won't see it."

Letting him leave was Luo Xuan's deliberate arrangement. His purpose was to lure out the hidden people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while also sending those ill-intentioned fellows to their deaths.

Given the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's reach across the continent, he had likely been watched since he was still on the road.

Luo Xuan's guess was indeed correct. Gu Rong, hidden in the shadows, stared at Luo Xuan and pondered.

"This brat seems to have only that Soul Douluo by his side, and he even deliberately came to such a remote place."

There were plenty of places to hunt Soul Rings. The Star Dou Great Forest could be entered from anywhere. Luo Xuan had come to such a remote area precisely because no one was protecting him.

The more Gu Rong thought about it, the more convinced he became.

Killing intent became tangible in his eyes. "No need to wait. While no one is around, send this brat to hell!"
