Back at the Hotel, I Want Both!
Back at the hotel, Xu Xingyu and Gu Yuena began a new round of discussion.
"Xingyu, now that we know the Sun Moon Imperial Palace might hold information about the Space Dragon King, why don't we go there directly now?" Gu Yuena asked, frowning. "Admittedly, the Soul Tool at the four corners of the palace is very powerful, but it can't do anything to us, can it?"
"With our cultivation levels, we could easily infiltrate the Sun Moon Imperial Palace without being detected by anyone?"
As Gu Yuena said, no matter how excellent the Soul Tool of the Sun Moon Imperial Palace are or how many powerful figures are stationed there.
For Xu Xingyu and Gu Yuena, who possess God Level combat power, it would be far too easy for them to remain undetected.
They could even rely on their own strength to try and learn from a certain King Hassan, letting the people of the Douluo Continent know what true assassination is!
Don't be fooled by the fact that they used camouflage during this infiltration; they just did it because they had something readily available and were somewhat just looking for fun.
To See Through their infiltration, one would need God Level Spiritual Power; otherwise, no one could discern their movements.
Therefore, Gu Yuena's doubts were not without reason. Xu Xingyu then expressed her concerns, "Na'er, what you said is indeed correct. But I don't know why, but I feel that this is a bit too deliberate?"
"A bit deliberate?" Gu Yuena tilted her head and said, "Are you trying to say that this information about the Space Dragon King is likely a smokescreen deliberately used by the Evil Emperor to confuse us? But when I used my Divine Sense to probe the Evil Eye Tyrant's emotions, I didn't see him lying."
"Afterwards, I even used my Divine Sense to scan his memories, and the information there matched exactly what he had said."
"But don't you find it strange?" Xu Xingyu pointed out, "This information just happened to emerge when we were investigating the relationship between the Evil Emperor and the Holy Spirit Cult?"
"So you think the information that the Evil Eye Tyrant spread was actually false?" Gu Yuena frowned. "Then it seems we went a little too easy on him."
"No," Xu Xingyu shook her head and said, "I believe this information is true."
"Really? Are you saying that the Evil Emperor is using the remains of the Space Dragon King to delay our investigation of him and the Holy Spirit Cult? Isn't that a bit too much of a price to pay?"
You must know that's the remains of the Space Dragon King! The Nine Great Dragon Kings back then were all genuine God King level powerhouses. If someone were to absorb the energy contained in their remains, they wouldn't necessarily become a god immediately, but they would certainly gain the potential to become a god.
The Evil Emperor actually didn't want such a precious item, instead using it to delay their investigation?
"Evil Emperor, there are only three possible reasons why he would dare to do this," Xu Xingyu replied with certainty. "First, he has obtained something more precious and suitable, but obtaining this thing will take time, which is why he used the remains of the Space Dragon King as a shield."
"Secondly, he intends to cause a rift between us and the Sun Moon Empire so he can reap the benefits while we're locked in fierce combat."
"Personally, I lean towards the first possibility, because even if the Evil Emperor doesn't know my current exact strength, he still knows how strong you are."
"If you want, you can simply walk into the Sun Moon Imperial Palace and take the things related to the Space Dragon King without anyone noticing. There's absolutely no need to fight the Sun and Sun Moon Empire."
"Therefore, unless the Evil Emperor has lost his mind, he simply wouldn't attempt something that's virtually impossible to succeed."
"So you think we should slow down our search for clues about the Space Dragon King's remains and focus our attention on the Evil Emperor and the Holy Spirit Cult first?" Gu Yuena said with some regret.
In her eyes, whether it was the Evil Emperor or the Holy Spirit Cult, they were nothing more than clowns, and Xu Xingyu didn't need to take them seriously at all.
Even if they manage to pull off something big, they won't be able to resist the Spirit Contract Pagoda, which has two God Level combatants.
Therefore, Gu Yuena felt that even if there were any problems, it wouldn't matter. Everything carries risks, and nothing is ever smooth sailing.
If you're unwilling to take a chance at crucial moments, you might miss out on something important.
However, Xu Xingyu shook her head at Gu Yuena's question and said, "No, I intend to have them all?"
"Ah?"
"I need to investigate both the news of the Space Dragon King's remains being in the Sun Moon Imperial Palace and the conspiracy hidden by the Evil Emperor and the Holy Spirit Cult within the Sun Moon Empire."
"Anyway, I have the Star Soul Clone Soul Skill, so investigating these things simultaneously isn't particularly difficult. Besides, haven't I already done that in theory?"
"That's true." Gu Yuena nodded, then said worriedly, "But I remember that even if you can use the Star Soul Clone Technique to create clones with the same strength as you, the Soul Power required to maintain these clones is still very large, right?"
"You previously created a clone to act as your stand-in during the competition. That clone, which was only at the Soul Saint level, was fine. But then you created three more clones with similar cultivation levels to you."
Even if you have achieved Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores, I'm afraid you can't withstand such a drain on your Soul Power.
Xu Xingyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Na'er. I know my Soul Power consumption best. Creating another clone won't consume too much of my energy."
"Furthermore, the three clones I sent out earlier have already investigated those areas. It's just that they collected quite a lot this time, so I didn't immediately retrieve them."
"The investigation is over so quickly? And there's still so much information!" Gu Yuena asked in surprise.
Didn't you send them out and they investigated everything in less than a day? Although those clones were about the same level as Xu Xingyu in terms of cultivation, their Spiritual Power was only slightly stronger than that of ordinary Titled Douluo.
The investigation was completed so quickly without any Divine Sense detection. Are you sure you didn't miss anything? And why is there so much information?
Seemingly noticing the confusion in Gu Yuena's eyes, Xu Xingyu explained on her own, "I implanted a layer of Divine Sense into each of my clones just in case. Therefore, it's very convenient to explore the terrain of those locations with the amplification of Divine Sense."
"As for the fact that I've said too much, I think you'll understand in a moment."
After she finished speaking, three figures suddenly appeared out of thin air in the room. To everyone's surprise, these three figures looked exactly like Xu Xingyu. Without a doubt, these were the three Star Soul Clone that Xu Xingyu had sent out earlier.
What's particularly striking is that these clones possess a large number of storage Storage Soul Tool Storage Soul Tool, and each one is completely full.
Did they raid the Sun Moon Empire's treasury? How come they have so much stuff?
