Chapter 277: A Peculiar Suicide Organization and Xue Qinghe's Worries
"Tang Hao has likely already taken action; I hope there is still time." Xun Yu immediately made arrangements for people to head to Tiandou City and Gu Lei Royal City respectively.
To deal with Tang Hao, at least a Title Douluo-level expert must make a move.
Therefore, it would be best to invite Lan Xue.
But the time Lan Xue agreed upon with Nan Feihuang is almost here; at this moment, Lan Xue might not be in Gu Lei Royal City, but rather heading to the forest behind Slaughter City to pick up her son.
Just in case, he had no choice but to use a two-pronged approach and go invite Dugu Bo as well.
Although Old Poison is no match for Tang Hao, he is no longer someone Tang Hao can manipulate at will.
If Tang Hao wants to deal with him, he himself will have to pay a significant price; with Dugu Bo present, it is enough to obstruct Tang Hao's plans.
Old Poison's current strength is also not to be underestimated; once Nan Feihuang sends him the Inner Core of the Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Snake, and he refines the snake venom within it, his cultivation will inevitably rise to a higher level.
"Right, among the intelligence Lingling mentioned just now, there was another point: during the beast tide, the person sent out by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was Bone Douluo, not Sword Douluo. In the past, such matters were always handled by Chen Xin; after all, his martial soul has stronger killing power. It seems he has already discovered the Ice and Fire Power left in his body by the Queen. However, having not come to Gu Lei Kingdom to beg the Queen to save him for so long, I suppose with Chen Xin's temperament, he has chosen to endure it alone and does not want to put Ning Fengzhi in a difficult position. But, how long can you hold on? This point can actually be utilized." Xun Yu, while in Tianshuang, had his heart set on the world.
All major factions were within his calculations.
In recent years, a very peculiar intelligence organization has appeared on the continent; they are not hidden in the shadows like other intelligence organizations, nor are they as fast as the Min Clan.
On the contrary, this intelligence organization is very ordinary; the strength of its personnel is ordinary, and their ability to investigate intelligence is also very ordinary, often being discovered by those major factions.
But there is one strange point: as long as these people are discovered, they will commit suicide immediately without the slightest hesitation.
Such an organization that views death as returning home has made the major organizations very curious about how exactly it was created.
This intelligence organization was actually founded by Xun Yu; the personnel are all his soldiers.
Xun Yu discovered a method to transmit intelligence faster and more safely than the Min Clan: he lets his soldiers investigate intelligence, and after obtaining it, regardless of whether they have been discovered or not, they commit suicide immediately.
If a soldier dies, Xun Yu can sense it and simply summon them again, and the re-summoned soldier appears before Xun Yu.
Is this not the fastest method of transmitting intelligence? The opponent cannot even stop it.
And so, two days later, one of the two soldiers he sent out to gather information committed suicide. After Xun Yu re-summoned him, he obtained the intelligence he wanted.
"Very good, it seems Tang Hao has not yet begun his actions over there. There is still time. My Lord, you must hurry; the storm on this continent will likely blow up ahead of schedule," Xun Yu sighed.
Inside the Heaven Dou Empire imperial city.
Dugu Bo has been living here for over a year. Although he holds a nominal title in Gu Lei Kingdom, he insists on repaying the favor to Xue Xing Prince before he can join Gu Lei without owing anything.
Regarding this stubborn old man who values promises more than his own life, Nan Feihuang is also helpless.
He is already thinking about finding a time to deal with Xue Xing; once the object of the repayment is gone, Dugu Bo will no longer have to struggle with it, right?
Dugu Bo sat in the grand hall of the mansion arranged for him by Xue Xing Prince, looking at the letter Xun Yu had written to him.
"Oh? So the events that have occurred on the continent over the past year or so are all Tang Hao stirring up trouble? Is his next target the family factions?" Dugu Bo stood up and said, "No problem, you report back to young Xun immediately; I will set off right now, guarantee to drive Tang Hao away, and help Gu Lei Kingdom subdue them."
Dugu Bo acted decisively. Although Nan Feihuang had promised him that he would not make him do anything after joining Gu Lei, it was obvious that Nan Feihuang had broken his word; after all, with a Title Douluo's combat power in hand, how could one not use it?
Indeed, Nan Feihuang cannot order Dugu Bo, but a request is fine, right? At first, he called him Old Poison, then he called him Senior, and if he lowered his posture a bit, he called him Grandpa Dugu; if that didn't work, he would go find his sworn sister Dugu Yan to complain, and let Dugu Yan cry, make a scene, and threaten to hang herself.
Dugu Bo couldn't refuse to do things even if he wanted to. As time went on, his bottom line kept getting lower. Now, basically, as long as it doesn't violate his principles, he won't refuse any requests from Nan Feihuang's side.
Even facing Tang Hao now, Dugu Bo is not that afraid. Even if his Poison Pill is still in Nan Feihuang's hands, his strength remains extremely formidable.
At this moment, inside his Storage Soul Guidance Device, the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch, he has stored quite a few poisonous herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
They were all picked for him by Nan Feihuang. Some of these poisonous herbs can amplify the power of his deadly poison, while others can combine with his snake venom to form even more terrifying new varieties of deadly poison.
Coupled with the fact that his Taoist Heart Method has already reached a high level of proficiency, his cultivation recovery speed is extremely fast. Even if his Inner Core is not with him, leading to incomplete cultivation, he can still exert extremely strong combat power in a short period.
Relying on his ever-changing Poison Technique, Dugu Bo considers himself to have no opponents below the Super Douluo level.
"Yes, this subordinate will report to my Lord immediately. Farewell." Having said that, the messenger struck his own crown with his palm and died on the spot.
Dugu Bo's mouth twitched; even he was speechless at this method of transmitting intelligence.
Only that young Xun's brain could think of such a thing.
He did not linger for long and flashed away from the mansion, but he did not expect that just as he stepped out of the gate, a figure blocked his path.
"Poison Douluo Mianxia, please stay your step."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, what do you seek me for?" Dugu Bo looked at the person who had arrived; it was the Heaven Dou Empire Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe.
"This palace just received news that someone from Gu Lei Kingdom came to see you. This palace wants to ask if it has anything to do with Feihuang, and if he has come out of Slaughter City," Xue Qinghe asked anxiously.
This person has been somewhat obsessed for over a year. Back then, when she received Nan Feihuang's letter and learned that he was going to Slaughter City, she was worried to the extreme.
After all, the danger coefficient of that place is too high. Nan Feihuang is indeed powerful, but he is young after all, and his level was only a Soul King; going there, he might not necessarily come out alive.
At that time, she had wanted to immediately send people to block Nan Feihuang and bring him back.
Unfortunately, by the time she was ready to take action, Nan Feihuang had already been inside Slaughter City for more than ten days, and it was too late for the people she sent to catch him and bring him back.
Knowing Nan Feihuang's personality, she knew that this child had deliberately acted first and reported later, which made her so angry that she found a random excuse to beat Xue Beng severely.
Xue Beng, who suffered an unprovoked disaster, was truly unable to cry.
But as the saying goes, an elder brother beating a younger brother is just exercise; as long as it doesn't cost a life, Great Emperor Xue Ye couldn't be bothered to manage such trivial matters. Even Xue Xing Prince had repeatedly advised Xue Beng to endure, he must endure; if he exploded at this time, everything would be ruined.
Later, she discovered that it was difficult to calm her mood by beating Xue Beng, so she became obsessed and even sent people to monitor the movements of Gu Lei Kingdom.
Therefore, whenever intelligence related to Gu Lei Kingdom entered Tiandou City, she was always the first to know, followed by rushing over to question Dugu Bo.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, this intelligence has nothing to do with Xiaofeijiang; it was just someone sent by young Xun to ask me to visit an old friend," Dugu Bo replied truthfully.
"I see. Apologies for the disturbance, Mianxia," Xue Qinghe replied with some disappointment.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, actually you don't need to worry about Xiaofeijiang. With his strength, the mere Slaughter City absolutely cannot stop his footsteps. Rest assured, I estimate that before long, he should be coming out," Dugu Bo, for once, learned to comfort others.
Ever since the deadly poison was removed and he no longer had to suffer that life-worse-than-death torture every day, his originally eccentric temper had also restrained itself a lot.
He could feel that Xue Qinghe's concern for Nan Feihuang was entirely from the heart.
Xue Qinghe nodded, "This palace understands. Many thanks for your comfort, Mianxia!"
