Chapter 298: The Plan Begins: Ice Continuation Pill

Gulei Royal City, Eastern Palace.

Xun Yu and Dian Wei had already returned, but they did not engage in the tear-jerker drama of Liu, Guan, and Zhang, where brothers separated for over a year pour out their hearts and sleep on the same bed.

They simply sat together calmly, exchanging what they had gained over this past year.

Perhaps this was the most suitable way for them to interact, being both brothers and sovereign and subject.

As for Nan Feiling, she had been sent away by Lv Lingqi and Ye Lingling; she was not mature, and Nan Feihuang did not want her dragged into the schemes of these conspirators.

Wouldn't it be better for a few best friends to go drink tea, eat desserts, and chat about romance?

Dian Wei was keeping watch; in reality, the only ones discussing matters were Nan Feihuang and Xun Yu.

"Wenruo, I will handle Tang Hao's side. As for the Heaven Dou Empire, how are the people you arranged doing?" Nan Feihuang asked.

Back when they were in the Heaven Dou Empire, Xun Yu had said that he had split off a batch of the soldiers he summoned, striving to enter the imperial court or take up posts in officials' residences.

Over the years, the results should be quite good.

Xun Yu smiled, "Zhuge Liang has already become one of the Censors of the Heaven Dou Empire, responsible for managing some documents and files, submitting memorials, conveying imperial edicts, and evaluating officials. While one cannot call him a high official second only to one, he can be considered an official who holds some real power."

"Sima Yi is serving in Prince Xue Beng's residence and has become the head steward, holding the residence seal. He is very useful. Does the Master remember the time I arranged for an assassin to kill you? It was done under Sima Yi's name at the time. If someone investigates this matter in the future, Master, how do you think the world will view it? Who exactly arranged for someone to assassinate you? It couldn't possibly be that a mere steward like Sima Yi acted on his own initiative."

"As for Zhou Gongjin, although my musical skill is not as proficient as the real Zhou Yu, it is not bad either. It was not difficult to have the soldier I summoned blend into Yuexuan. He is now one of the performers at Yuexuan. Recently, he received news that the Grandmaster has been staying at Yuexuan ever since Shrek Academy was disbanded. If I am not mistaken, it was likely Tang Hao who brought him there."

After listening, the corners of Nan Feihuang's mouth twitched, "Wenruo, you have handled your affairs very well, but I always feel you are settling personal scores. Why did you give your soldiers the names of Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Zhou Yu?"

"Hehe, Master, I am indeed settling personal scores. Since no one in this world recognizes them anyway, it is extremely interesting to turn the names of these top strategists of the past into my subordinates," Xun Yu laughed.

"Forget it. Take this; I am going to find Tang Hao to play. Mother is currently in seclusion after absorbing two soul bones during this period, but I think she should be able to make it in time. I will write another letter and ask Old Poison to lend me a hand as well," Nan Feihuang handed the hundred thousand year Titan Giant Ape Left Arm Bone in his hand to Xun Yu and went to write the letter.

In fact, he could complete this plan even without the help of a Title Douluo, but Feihuang was cautious by nature. Adding Old Poison at this time would make it seventy percent more secure; if his mother could come out of seclusion in time, it would be one hundred percent.

Xun Yu immediately went down to make arrangements; he had to hurry.

Although the area Feihuang originally gave to the Titan Giant Ape was large, it was always limited. With the Titan Giant Ape's ability, it should be enough to find Tang Hao in about half a month at most.

Nan Feihuang wanted the Titan Giant Ape and Tang Hao to both be severely injured, using the method of an eye for an eye to avenge the grudge of borrowing a knife to kill.

However, he also had to secretly help Tang Hao; otherwise, if Tang Hao could not beat the Titan Giant Ape, how could he force it to perform a Sacrifice?

Soon, an order was transmitted from Xun Yu's heart to Sima Yi, who was far away in the Heaven Dou Empire.

Although these soldiers could not transmit intelligence to Xun Yu over long distances and could only return to his side by committing suicide so Xun Yu could re-summon them, it was not so troublesome for Xun Yu to convey messages to them; a mere thought was enough.

Sima Yi immediately began to act, while Xun Yu summoned a soldier with a new face and, with whip and spur, brought the hundred thousand year soul bone and the Ice Continuation Pill toward the Heaven Dou Empire.

The Ice Continuation Pill, refined from Ice Continuation Grass, was one of the Spirit Pills recorded in the Dunjia Heavenly Book.

It was used specifically for extending life, capable of activating the vitality of a dying person, allowing them to live for three months without illness or pain. After three months, it was said that no medicine or stone could cure them.

Of course, this was actually an exaggeration. The medicinal power of the Ice Continuation Pill was indeed sinister, but it was not truly to the point where one would die immediately after taking it.

Those with high cultivation levels naturally had vigorous vitality.

Like a Super Douluo, even if they took the Ice Continuation Pill, they would not die immediately after the medicinal power backfired three months later; they would only be weak for a long time. However, a Super Douluo like Tang Hao, who was covered in hidden injuries, might not be so certain.

In any case, Nan Feihuang did not intend to let Tang Hao live. Even if the Ice Continuation Pill could not take his life, Nan Feihuang would go and seize it.

Nan Feihuang was not a pedantic person. Even if he had originally thought about fighting Tang Hao openly and honestly, that was under the premise that the other party was also being open and honest.

Since Tang Hao had impersonated the Spirit Hall to attack him, it would be foolish for him to still talk about morality.

Moreover, for Nan Feihuang, Tang Hao was not the main target. More importantly, it was the soul rings and soul bones of those three siblings. He wanted to make them kill each other and then seize everything they had.

By then, he would have enough luck to open the Wushuang Nine Trials.

Because they were rushing, Xun Yu's soldier traveled almost without sleep or rest, arriving at the Tiandou Capital in one day. After handing everything over to Sima Yi, he completely dissipated due to the exhaustion of physical strength and soul power.

Noticing the death of his soldier, Xun Yu knew his mission had been completed.

He then informed Nan Feihuang, and the two of them called for Lv Lingqi and Dian Wei, and the four set off.

As for Nan Feiling, she had been ditched by them. Again, she was not mature enough and was not qualified to participate in a great battle involving a hundred thousand year Spirit Beast and a Title Douluo.

Thus, the group had Ye Lingling, Meng Yiran, and Zhang Xingcai take her out shopping.

After all, they were girls; no matter how hard they trained, they had little resistance to the matter of shopping.

However, when she returned home and discovered that her younger brother, Dian Hanhan, and her best friend had actually teamed up to ditch her, she would likely throw a fit.

In any case, Nan Feihuang was already mentally prepared for her to be upset with him.

At worst, he would let Dian Wei take the heat at the front; the relationship between Nan Feiling and Dian Wei had become very good over the past year, and it would not be an exaggeration to call them childhood sweethearts.

At Prince Xue Beng's residence in the Heaven Dou Empire, Sima Yi had already made preparations in advance. After receiving the hundred thousand year soul bone and the Ice Continuation Pill, he went to the study.

As the head steward of Prince Xue Beng, he not only had his own seal, but the residence seal was also kept by him.

In any case, Xue Beng was usually not at home. To maintain his persona, he had to go out every day for "routine business."

That is, completing the work of bullying men and women, drinking, gambling, and everything else that could prove he was a playboy.

Sima Yi took out a letter he had written in advance, stamped it with the Fourth Prince's residence seal and his own steward seal, and then left the royal residence.
