Chapter 129: The Siege Begins (1)
For Ghost Leopard Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo, Bibi Dong's orders were not particularly important. They gained no benefits from obeying, and Bibi Dong had no way to deal with them if they disobeyed.
To offend the Young Miss and the Grand Supreme Pontiff for an order that yielded no benefits? Only someone with a hole in their brain would carry that out.
The two of them conferred and instantly abandoned the idea of assassinating Pei Qing.
In fact, Ghost Leopard Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo were already considering whether to leak Bibi Dong's order.
After all, if they directly gave this news to the Young Miss, they would surely receive many benefits.
The Young Miss's attention to Pei Qing was, after all, well-known to everyone.
The two discussed it and finally decided to meet Xue Xing first, striving to help the Young Miss complete the final step of the usurpation plan as soon as possible.
This time, the two were secretly dispatched to pretend to cooperate with Xue Xing and Xue Beng, allowing the Young Miss to complete the true act of usurpation.
As for assassinating Pei Qing, that was merely a task secretly assigned by Bibi Dong.
Since they had decided not to assassinate Pei Qing, Ghost Leopard Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo no longer hesitated and swiftly headed towards Xue Xing's mansion.
At this moment, inside Xue Xing's mansion, it was still that dim secret chamber.
People from the four major powers had gathered.
"Since we've decided to kill Xue Qinghe, why hide and sneak around like this? It's utterly unmanly!"
The first to speak was a tall man whose aura was heavy and domineering, constantly exuding a powerful presence.
"Second Brother is right. Our Clear Sky Sect men always act openly and honorably. What's the meaning of sneaking around in this secret chamber?"
Just as the man from the Clear Sky Sect finished speaking, another middle-aged man with a profound aura from their group spoke up.
"This seat actually feels that Tang Tian is right. If we're going to do it, why be so secretive? The first battle is the decisive battle; one battle will determine everything!"
"If we succeed this time, we will get what we want. If we fail, retribution awaits us."
The Sword Douluo, who had been standing behind Ning Fengzhi, opened his eyes. Sharp Sword Qi emanated around him, and the terrifying sharpness caused everyone present to glance his way frequently.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin, a rank 96 Super Douluo, was among the very pinnacle of figures even among the Title Douluo.
However, at this moment, the Sword Douluo's expression was not good; in fact, it was somewhat gloomy.
As a swordsman, he was unyielding and felt great disdain for assassination.
However, if he did not participate in this plan, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was very likely to fall into crisis directly.
So, no matter how unwilling he was, he had to take action. Even if this action might affect his Sword Heart, he had no other choice.
The Sword Douluo actually held Pei Qing in high regard. He believed Pei Qing was a promising talent, both in terms of character and aptitude.
He just never expected things to come to such a pass now; it truly left one speechless.
Sighing, the Sword Douluo regained his seriousness, his expression cold as he spoke.
"It was my poor consideration, but with all of us acting together this time, we will surely succeed in killing Xue Qinghe."
Xue Xing looked at the Title Douluo present, his heart filled with excitement.
Two Super Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, two Title Douluo of rank 93 and rank 94 from the Spirit Hall.
The Clear Sky Sect also had two rank 92 Title Douluo. A total of six Title Douluo, plus the three thousand soldiers he had already bribed.
This time, the chances were high; he might actually succeed!
Thinking of this, Xue Beng's breathing quickened. He was about to become emperor, the master of this empire!
"Stop the nonsense, let's start quickly. This seat has other matters!"
Demon Bear Douluo opened his tightly shut eyes and spoke in a very indifferent tone.
"Just assassinating a mere Crown Prince requires six of us Title Douluo to act together!"
Tang Tian scoffed, showing disdain. Tang Hao's downfall was simply because he was a waste; it didn't mean the Clear Sky Hammer was weak.
Even the Seven Kill Sword was nothing but a broken sword in front of the Clear Sky Hammer.
Ning Fengzhi, seeing that his side had a full six Title Douluo, felt a surge of confidence.
Six Title Douluo—this power could be considered terrifying anywhere on the Douluo Continent.
Coupled with his own assistance, even if the strong individual behind Xue Qinghe was a rank 98 powerhouse, his side would not lose!
As for the rank 99, the Limit Douluo, they had never been within Ning Fengzhi's consideration.
It should be known that in recent years, there have only been three Limit Douluo!
One was the previous generation's Pope of the Spirit Hall; one was Tang Chen, who made the Clear Sky Hammer the number-one weapon Martial Soul in the world; and the last was Bo Saixi, the Grand Priestess of Sea God Island.
Throughout countless years on the Douluo Continent, there had only been these three Limit Douluo. One Limit Douluo could completely overwhelm any force!
If the one behind Xue Qinghe was truly a Limit Douluo, then they would just have to obediently stick out their necks and wait for death.
"Everyone, this is tonight's plan. Only success is allowed; failure is not an option!"
Prince Xue Xing took out the plan he had already prepared and distributed it to everyone present.
Ning Fengzhi and the others understood immediately after reading it.
"I will personally deal with Pei Qing. He's just a lucky orphan, yet he dared to kill someone from my Clear Sky Sect!"
"And he even dared to occupy several soul bones passed down through my sect. He truly sought his own death!"
Although Tang Hao had been expelled from the Clear Sky Sect, his Martial Soul was, after all, the Clear Sky Hammer.
Most importantly, Tang Hao still possessed several soul bones passed down through generations of the sect. Thinking of this, a hint of greed appeared in Tang Tian's eyes.
"Killing Pei Qing— we're also interested!"
Ghost Leopard Douluo narrowed his eyes, a hint of killing intent flashing in his gaze as he looked at Tang Tian!
"Ghost Leopard, Pei Qing is a great enemy of my Clear Sky Sect. My sect must kill him personally. If you dare to interfere, I will absolutely not let you off!"
Seventh Elder Tang Lie, behind Tang Tian, spoke coldly. As he said this, an extremely terrifying high temperature surged from his body.
Immediately, under this high temperature, the entire secret chamber's atmosphere began to rise rapidly.
"When did the Clear Sky Sect dare to bark so wildly in front of my Spirit Hall? Not let me off? With your mere rank 91 waste!"
Ghost Leopard Douluo instantly activated his Martial Soul, and his rank 94 pressure directly suppressed Tang Lie.
A single level difference between Title Douluo is like a world apart. The three-level gap instantly made Tang Lie's face pale.
