Chapter 108: Planning

The room fell silent for a brief moment, Snow Emperor's gaze fixed on the direction those two had left, and she then said softly: "No matter what, I and Bing'er must get to the bottom of this matter; Ah Luan means a great deal to me in the Far North, and if it really is… then those two and everyone involved among humanity must die…"

Ice Emperor also nodded hatefully, his eyes full of fury; if Shu Yan and Xu Jiu Jiu weren't still here, she would have already torn those two to pieces.

Shu Yan let out a light sigh, he pondered for a moment, then said softly: "Frost Star Duke mainly handles the defense of the Tianhun Empire's western border against the Riyue Empire, and at the same time his subordinates, soul masters and troops, also bear the responsibility of resisting any possible beast tide erupting from the Far North soul beasts…"

Therefore, his army and soul master strength are among the top existences within the Tianhun Empire; he has been rooted in the frontier for many years, making him one of the top figures of the Tianhun Empire, his conduct is overbearing and extreme, for his own goals he can almost be said to stop at nothing, many families in the Tianhun Empire have been wiped out for no reason after offending him, yet because of his status and position, few dare to bring these matters up, let alone pursue responsibility; even if they know the truth, they only dare to keep it hidden in their hearts…

If we want to move against him, we need to act quickly; the Tianhun Royal Family and the Original Body Sect are on excellent terms, and the royal family itself has several top-tier combatants; there's no delay, tonight we will strike directly, lest prolonged night bring many dreams and spawn further trouble.

Snow Emperor gave Shu Yan a deep look, then nodded in agreement.

She had run out of patience; Ah Luan is a junior she cares about, and also one of the future faces of the Far North; for this reason, no matter how dangerous, she must go investigate thoroughly.

Even if Ah Luan came to no harm, those two fellows certainly did nothing good in the Far North; just on that basis, they must die.

Ice Emperor also nodded deeply, while tightly clenching his fair little fist…

Xu Jiu Jiu let out a helpless sigh; in this situation, it seems she can only pray that this matter doesn't blow up too much?

But after thinking it over, that seems the least likely thing; oh well, as long as we don't expose our identities, we might as well let things take their natural course…

After all, the Ice Snow Dual Emperors are now indispensable allies; relatively speaking, losing a duke from the Tianhun Empire shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Du Guyan listened blankly to the conversation, feeling as if she had boarded a tremendous pirate ship…

……

Night fell swiftly, Tiandu City's prosperity remained as before, the clamor of revelry drifted from the red-lit, wine-green streets, countless nobles and elites had just begun their revelry, yet no one knew that tonight, an event capable of terrifying the entire Tianhun Empire was about to unfold…

Above the night sky, Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor brought Shu Yan flying at extreme speed, their powerful spiritual power enveloping them; even as they flew over a city with a population of millions, no one could detect their trail.

Xu Jiu Jiu and Du Guyan were both taken by Shu Yan once again into the undead dimension; they were not suited to show themselves too much in Tiandu City, especially now, and staying in the undead dimension was often the safest option.

Following the trail left by Ah Luan's aura, the three headed south all the way, finally stopping above a vast manor.

The people are inside; besides those two from earlier, there is also a Titled Douluo, a Soul Douluo, and besides that, just some miscellaneous Soul Douluo-level fodder.' To call Soul Douluo-level experts 'fodder' is something only a powerhouse like the Snow Emperor would dare say.

Try to keep the disturbance down; this place isn't far from the Tianhun Imperial Palace, if the commotion gets too big, several Titled Douluo or even Supers could rush to reinforce, and that would truly be chaos.

Shu Yan gave a soft reminder.

Snow Emperor lightly nodded, her red lips parting slightly, then she said: "I will use my spiritual power to completely envelop this vicinity; those fellows won't be able to stop me, Bing'er will hold the line beside me, I only want those two; as long as the others are sensible, I won't slaughter the innocent."

Shu Yan also nodded, and said nothing more.

……

Meanwhile, inside the manor.

Under the bright lights, Frost Star Duke sat at the table; behind him, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses stood arrogantly, his attire extremely rare, markedly different from the mainstream dress of the Tianhun Empire, yet one cannot deny that he bears an air of nobility from long holding high office, the shifting light and shadow in his eyes giving an impression of profound inscrutability.

Meanwhile, opposite him, a middle-aged beautiful woman in splendid palace attire wore a faint smile; her temperament was quite unique, bearing an ethereal, illusory-yet-real aura, yet there is no denying she is a rare beauty, and her identity is also extremely special: she is the only Super Douluo in the Body Sect aside from the Sect Master Du Bu Si and the Golden Body Douluo, she is also a mental-attribute Super Douluo, and furthermore she is the teacher of today's Tianhun Princess Weina, sharing deep ties with the Tianhun Royal Family.

And beside her, an elderly man with a calm countenance, his whole body exuding solid aura, his visage carrying a dignified wrathless menace, while the pair of palms he placed on the table were especially broad and shocking, yet oddly, the skin on those palms was not rough and dark like elsewhere, but fair and smooth, like a woman's hands.

This old man is likewise a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse of the Original Body Sect, holding high status within the sect; his martial soul is a pair of palms, and he once made a name for himself within the sect with the reputation of 'Double Palms Supporting the Heavens'; thus his title is 'Supporting Heaven'! Original Body Sect's Heaven-Supporting Douluo!

One must say, although this old man's soul power is only rank ninety-three, this title is truly extraordinary; his rank ninety-three soul power actually manifests an aura and dignity akin to rank ninety-nine.

Beside these two sat a very pretty girl, appearing about twelve or thirteen years old, her whole demeanor delicate yet with a hint of nobility, her beautiful large eyes seeming to have rippling water within, even without interacting with her one could sense a faint, elusive gentleness.

This girl is none other than the sole disciple of the Body Sect's Spiritual Thought Douluo, and at the same time she is a once-in-a-century twin martial soul genius of the Tianhun Imperial Family, possessing top-tier twin martial souls: the healing-type Snow Lotus and the control-type Body Martial Soul Brain, Princess Weina.

Outside in the corridor, a tall, handsome youth with smooth, middle-parted brownish-red long hair stood gazing coldly at the sky; under the moonlight, his skin looked fair and translucent, even more so than Shu Yan who possesses the Ice Snow Jade Maiden martial soul, and compared to women he still held the advantage. Looking closer, beneath his skin there seemed to constantly flow a halo of light, exuding a warm, moist feel like jade.

The youth merely stood still there, and seemed to completely merge with the night, quite astonishing.

And he is none other than the current foremost youth of the Body Sect, the undisputed chief heir, Long Aotian……
