The Clones' Discovery: Looting the Warehouse

Seeing her wife's puzzled look, Xu Xingyu explained, "One of the three coordinates on the map was a warehouse of the Sun Moon Empire storing various rare metals and Soul Tool. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a warehouse of rare metals belonging to the Sun Moon Empire. The custodian seems to be a prince of the Sun Moon Empire named Xu Guozhong."

"After thoroughly investigating the other two locations, I sent my other clones to the warehouse to help my clones move items from the national treasury."

"Previously, Xu Tianran secretly purchased many precious medicinal herbs and Soul Tool from our Spirit Contract Pagoda through Blue Poison, and also stole some of our confidential information. Therefore, as the saying goes, 'tit for tat,' since you've been unkind, I'll be unkind in return."

"Those who dare to steal the secrets of our Spirit Contract Pagoda will be repaid with ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times the price."

Of course, another reason was that he was very unhappy with the way Xu Tianran looked at Gu Yuena, so he wanted to make things difficult for him.

"Ah! The Sun Moon Empire's warehouse? So you looted the Sun Moon Empire's warehouse? Are the Storage Soul Tool your clone has really enough?" Gu Yuena asked in surprise.

She had only thought about it when she saw the three clones filled with Storage Soul Tool, but it turns out you actually looted the Sun Moon Empire's warehouse?

In response to Gu Yuena's question, Xu Xingyu replied, "You're right. My clone's Storage Soul Tool weren't enough to loot the entire warehouse. So this time, I only took the most valuable rare metals and Soul Tool."

"I plan to have my three clones loot the rest tomorrow. As for how to move it, that'll depend on this."

A third eye appeared between Xu Xingyu's eyebrows, but upon closer inspection, it was not an eye at all, but rather a purple-gold gem-like ornament.

This is the Star Soul Pearl, the divine Super Divine Artifact that Xu Xingyu created during her previous life as the Starry Dragon Emperor.

Since obtaining the Star Soul Pearl, Xu Xingyu has hardly ever used it, but that doesn't mean he's forgotten its existence. (Author: Absolutely not! Neither the protagonist nor the author has forgotten! I testify!!!)

You must know that without this, he wouldn't have been able to build the Spirit Contract Pagoda. Whether it's the large number of books and cultivation techniques currently stored in the Spirit Contract Pagoda, or the Soul Spirit Realm Spirit Contract Pagoda where the Soul Spirit are stored, they all originate from the Star Soul Pearl.

As mentioned before, besides its ability to analyze, copy, decompose, and detect, the Star Soul Pearl also stores a large number of small worlds that Xu Xingyu used to train himself during the era of the Starry Dragon Emperor. When he was a child, he was also trained using the facilities in those small worlds under the tutelage of Gu Yuena.

These include, but are not limited to, brutal training methods such as being struck by lightning, being burned, undergoing gravity adaptation, and experiencing mental pressure.

The reason for mentioning this now is that there are also small worlds within the Star Soul Pearl that contain nothing, and these small worlds are the most excellent Storage Soul Tool.

Therefore, Xu Xingyu's plan was to have her clone use the power of the Star Soul Pearl to put all the remaining items in the warehouse into that empty little world.

However, Gu Yuena raised another question, "That Xingyu, your idea is definitely feasible. The question is, are you sure you want to give your Star Soul Pearl to your clone?"

"If something goes wrong and you have to retrieve your Star Soul Clone, won't your Star Soul Pearl Bead just stay in that warehouse? I remember when you retrieved your clone, you didn't also retrieve the valuables on it."

"You don't need to worry about that," Xu Xingyu explained. "I will only grant my clone the authority to access the Star Soul Pearl space remotely, so you don't need to worry about the issue you were concerned about earlier."

"I see." Gu Yuena nodded, then asked, "The warehouse didn't have any security measures or anything, and you just let three clones infiltrate it like that?"

"There are some security agencies and personnel," Xu Xingyu shrugged. "However, in order for my clones to be able to infiltrate the warehouse at any time, they created a large-scale environment based on the warehouse's location."

"Apart from me or my clone, anyone who enters the area will be dragged into the illusion, then trapped in a fictional warehouse without feeling any problems. This illusion will likely last until the end of the Soul Master Tournament."

"I also destroyed all the monitoring Soul Tool, so no one will know that I was the one who stole the things. Besides, my clone also disguised himself before entering."

"It feels like you planned to loot this warehouse all along," Gu Yuena Xu Xingyu with a hint of exasperation.

Xu Xingyu could only respond with a dry laugh and a head wringer, acknowledging that he had indeed planned it premeditatedly.

After all, that warehouse was the one Huo Yuhao looted in the original novel. He even detonated it because he couldn't take the remaining items, leading to the tragic explosion in Mingdu.

Because of her dissatisfaction with Xu Tianran, Xu Xingyu thought of the existence of this warehouse and also began to plan to plunder it completely.

He hadn't forgotten that most of the items in this warehouse were for the Sun Moon Empire to use in its war. In the original story, the warehouse's complete loss caused the Sun Moon Empire, which was supposed to start the war immediately after the tournament, to delay its start for some time.

Since he intends to support the Star Luo Empire in unifying the Douluo Continent, he can no longer hesitate as before, and at least he can't start to doubt himself just because of a few words from Xu Tianran.

This is what I, Xu Xingyu, think: I intend to support the Star Luo Empire. You have objections? This is absolutely not about any grand cause; it's merely out of my own selfish motives.

But since I've chosen to do this, I shouldn't make excuses for myself.

Now that I've chosen this path, I won't feel guilty about stealing from the Sun Moon Empire's warehouse, since it's an enemy country anyway.

Isn't it normal for rival nations to steal from each other? You stole the secrets of my Spirit Contract Pagoda, so I'll steal your rare metals and Soul Tool. Neither can accuse the other!

Just as Xu Xingyu was still excited about the large amount of rare metals and Soul Tool she was about to obtain Gu Yuena suddenly asked, "By the way, what's at the other two locations on the map? Are they just decoys or something?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingyu's expression became more serious. At his signal, a clone took out a cannonball from the Storage Soul Tool.

Gu Yuena frowned as she looked at the shell and said, "Is this Fixed Soul Bomb? It looks like it's only at the seventh or eighth level at most. But is it really necessary for the Holy Spirit Cult to hide something like this so well?"

However, Xu Xingyu's next words sent a chill down her spine. "You're right, this is Fixed Soul Bomb, but unlike other bombs designed for destruction, this one is designed for infection."

"Infection? Could it be!"

"That's right, to put it simply, this thing is a biological weapon."
