Chapter 127: The Xue Beng Scheme
🕑 Added 2024-12-25 17:55:07 +0000 UTCAfter Yang Podi returned to his dorm, he began to carefully think about what had happened today.
The stance he had shown today should be enough to temporarily fool Qian Renxue, at least for now, she probably won't target him in the short term.
He had already made his position clear to Qian Renxue. Whether it was the Spirit Hall's or the Heaven Dou Empire's stance, he had at least bought himself some time.
Prince Xue Beng, who in the original story was the archetype of a lucky character, had been a playboy in the early stages, and later he just made a claim for self-preservation, and everything was forgotten. Yang Podi didn't want to spoil him. How dare he target his sister? If he didn't kill him, he'd feel guilty. Moreover, Qian Renxue had been the one to give him the opportunity.
Ning Fengzhi from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and Bone Douluo, who relied on the reputation of the so-called top three sects, actually wanted to use his family as cannon fodder. Their intentions were obviously not good, and Bone Douluo seemed to be overconfident, relying on his Title Douluo strength. Yang Podi didn't want to stir up trouble, he just wanted to quietly watch the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan fall apart. Now, if he didn't do something to take revenge, he'd feel guilty.
As for how to get revenge, it still required some thought. After all, they had two Title Douluos, with Ning Fengzhi's support, plus 4,000 Soul Masters. He needed to consider how to use Spirit Hall as a powerful tool.
The attitude of Yu Xiaogang today really made Yang Podi uncomfortable. A mere 29th-level Soul Elder, how dare he talk to him like that? Did he think his status in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan gave him confidence? Even that old dragon, Yu Yuanzhen, had hidden away, yet Yu Xiaogang still dared to act so cocky.
However, Yu Xiaogang wasn't easy to deal with. Behind him was Bibi Dong, so Yang Podi needed to plan carefully.
Then there was Tang San, a mere Soul Elder. Wasn't he relying on his father, a Title Douluo? Wasn't it the Clear Sky Sect's six Title Douluos that kept him safe? If he exposed the strength of the Clear Sky Sect, the sect wouldn't be able to benefit as easily as in the original story.
Yang Podi had always looked down on the Clear Sky Sect. Whenever faced with difficulties, they hid, and only by relying on Tang Chen's reputation did they survive. On the battlefield, they came out to take advantage, yet they never suffered any real losses.
As for Tang San himself, without the Eight Spider Lances and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes' body training, how would he continue to act arrogant?
Looking at the whole original story, Yang Podi had always looked down on the Shrek gang, especially Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun. How did such useless people achieve such success in the later stages? It was really unbelievable.
Now, Yang Podi was most concerned about Tang Hao's whereabouts. Tang San had taken Xiao Wu to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and he didn't believe Tang Hao wouldn't follow. Otherwise, Xiao Wu would be exposed, and that 100,000-year-old spirit ring and spirit bone would be lost.
After thinking about the countermeasures for these people today, Yang Podi didn't continue to think about it. Instead, he went back to his training. Nothing was more important than improving his own strength.
But in the next few days, both Tailong and Bai Xiaofei seemed a bit off. They disappeared from time to time, and didn't seem to care about cultivating their soul power. Yang Podi didn't know what was affecting them.
That morning, Yang Podi received news from his family. In five days, there would be a gathering of the four single-attribute families, and this time the gathering would be held in the Speed Clan.
Yang Podi sneered in his heart. This gathering might be interesting. He wondered what choice the Strength Clan and Speed Clan would make.
But before Yang Podi could attend the gathering, his dorm door was knocked on. When he opened it, he found that it was Dugu Bo coming to his dorm.
Yang Podi invited Dugu Bo into the dorm, looking at him with a puzzled expression. "Grandpa Dugu, what brings you here today? Is something wrong?"
Dugu Bo looked at Yang Podi with a cold smile. "Little monster, I heard someone bullied you, so I came to check on you."
Yang Podi couldn't help but laugh. "Grandpa Dugu, you know me well. There's no one at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy who can bully me, right?"
"I heard that Prince Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan came to see you. How? Didn't they bully you?"
Yang Podi smiled slightly. "Grandpa Dugu, you're well-informed. It's not really bullying. I just find them a bit annoying."
"Yu Xiaogang, a mere Great Soul Master, wants to be your team leader. Can you really tolerate that? If it were me, I'd have just killed him."
Yang Podi was speechless. "Yu Xiaogang is just a useless person with no strength. He's just daydreaming. After all, he's Yu Yuanzhen's son, so I'll give him a little face."
"Little monster, that's not your style. With the strength you have now behind you, you shouldn't fear the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan at all."
Yang Podi shook his head. "Grandpa Dugu, if I wanted to kill Yu Xiaogang, do you think he could escape?"
"Have you never thought about getting revenge? Do you want me to accompany you to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, at least to intimidate them so they don't get any wrong ideas?"
Yang Podi shook his head again. "Revenge is of course necessary, but do you think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will have much time left? That old dragon of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has been hiding in his house. Do you think he dares to come out now? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan is already feeling too much pressure and is trying to use my Breaking Clan to shield them from the storm."
"If I go and cause trouble now, exposing my family's strength, won't that be exactly what they want?"
Dugu Bo thought carefully and nodded. "You've thought it through, that's good. I also heard about a little kid, seems like Yu Xiaogang's apprentice, who's quite rude."
"You mean Tang San? He's not simple, his background is big."
"How big can his background be? He could be secretly killed without anyone knowing."
"Grandpa Dugu, I advise you not to act. Tang San is Tang Hao's son, and Tang Hao might be secretly protecting him."
Dugu Bo seemed a bit surprised. "Tang Hao, the Title Douluo? I didn't expect him to appear, and his son wants to participate in the Soul Master Competition. This is interesting."
"By the way, Grandpa Dugu, today I spoke to Prince Xue Qinghe and told him to make you the deputy leader of my second team at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Dugu Bo seemed a bit angry. "You little brat, I'm a Title Douluo, and you want me to be your deputy leader? Who's the leader?"
"Sorry, the leader of the second team of the Heaven Dou Empire is me. You're just a figurehead, at least it stops some people from having improper thoughts."
Dugu Bo was speechless. "That's better. Little monster, you sure know how to cause me trouble."
The two continued chatting for a while, then Dugu Bo left. Yang Podi couldn't help but smile as he watched Dugu Bo leave: "This old man is quite interesting."
After Prince Xue Qinghe returned to the Crown Prince's Palace, he spoke in the dark: "She Long, investigate who Xue Beng has been associating with recently, especially his troublesome friends. Also, investigate any major actions they have taken."
A man in black bowed to Xue Qinghe. "Understood, young master."
In just an hour,She Long returned, bringing with him a large amount of information.
Xue Qinghe carefully looked at the information, and his face grew pale. "Very well, my younger brother has hidden himself quite well. I didn't expect him to have such great strength. And my dear uncle, I see he's been secretly supporting my brother."
She Long quickly spoke up: "Young master, do you want me to eliminate these two people?"
Xue Qinghe was speechless. His subordinates were all muscle-bound with simple minds.
Xue Qinghe thought for a moment before speaking: "Inform Salas, I want to meet him."
She Long silently left.
Xue Qinghe was lost in thought. Yang Podi, this brat, Xue Beng only dared to take advantage of his sister, so he wanted to use his hand to get rid of him. What method would he use to deal with Ning Fengzhi and Yu Xiaogang?
Thinking about how he had held his hand today and even touched him, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but blush a little. "This brat, daring to take advantage of me again. I'll definitely cut off his hand in the future."
Yang Podi still felt a bit puzzled. Logically speaking, Xue Qinghe should have already known that Tang San was Tang Hao's son. Tang Hao was his father's murderer, yet he hadn't taken any action against Tang San.
In the original story, Ning Fengzhi had brought Tang San to meet Xue Qinghe and revealed Tang San's identity. Xue Qinghe never took any action. What was this little angel thinking? Was he trying to win Tang San over?
Yang Podi sometimes couldn't help but doubt whether Tang San was truly the child of destiny, or if the villains of the Douluo Continent were just too stupid. Tang San, being Tang Hao's son, was allowed to participate in the Soul Master Competition without the Spirit Hall doing anything. Whether it was Bibi Dong or Qian Renxue, they completely ignored him. Even when Tang San revealed his twin martial souls, they didn't take any action.
The only action Bibi Dong took was to send Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to assassinate him, yet they were clearly facing Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Poison Douluo. It was essentially sending vegetables.
However, Yang Podi didn't have time to worry about this now. The gathering of the four single-attribute families was just around the corner. According to his own guess, this would probably be the last gathering.
With Tailong and Bai Xiaofei's current attitude, Tang San had obviously recognized the Titan and even Bai He. Now, it was time to see what choice they would make. If they chose Tang San, then he could no longer show mercy.
But thinking about it, in the original story, the Speed Clan had fled to the Star Luo Empire, suffering even more losses, but they still followed Tang San. Now, their situation was much better than in the original story, and their ambitions would likely be much bigger. Who wouldn't want to restore the glory of the Clear Sky Sect from back then?
