They had used Blood Escape to rush here.
Going back didn't require such haste.
The two had been apart for a long time.
They had so many secrets to whisper, so much to share.
Jing Ling, the third wheel, was just in the way.
Tang Lan sent him back to the Tang Sect by himself.
Then, Tang Lan took Xiao Wu on a leisurely journey, enjoying the scenery.
Xiao Wu didn't realize at first that Tang Lan could now do whatever he pleased.
At night, as usual, she went to find Tang Lan for dual cultivation.
Then, she lost her first time.
Xiao Wu's exceptional flexibility was exploited to the fullest by Tang Lan!
It was pure joy!
A completely different experience from being with Zhu Zhuqing.
Xiao Wu also had a new world opened up to her, and she couldn't stop.
She simply tossed the Communication Soul Tool into her storage ring.
She happily flitted between cities.
Leaving traces of their love in various hotels.
Completely absorbed in the pleasure, reluctant to leave.
A month later, in Heaven Dou City.
A large number of people who had come to join the Tang Sect were stranded in Heaven Dou City.
The sheer number was staggering.
Prince Xue Xing had rented out the hotels and inns on three entire streets just to barely accommodate them.
The ever-increasing numbers were making him very anxious!
Yet, he could do nothing about it.
The Tang Sect had stopped accepting new members due to their conflict with the Heaven Dou royal family.
Most of these people who came to seek refuge were soul masters.
Even if their overall levels weren't high.
If this wasn't handled properly, there would definitely be major problems with public order.
But…
Tang Lan left and vanished without a trace.
And because of the orders he left behind…
The Firearms assembly line had been shut down, and the army's arming progress was severely delayed.
Production of Communication Soul Tools had also stopped because of the Blue Silver Kings' collective strike.
Emperor Xue Ye had already urged him several times.
If he didn't solve this problem soon, he would be in trouble!
But Tang Lan was nowhere to be seen, so what could Prince Xue Xing do?
He could only endure.
"Ding—"
The Communication Soul Tool's screen lit up, and he glanced at it.
He rose abruptly!
"Earl Tang and a woman have appeared in Tianji City!"
Tianji City was only a few hundred kilometers away from Heaven Dou City.
Finally!
This guy finally showed up!
Prince Xue Xing got up and walked outside, just as Xue Beng came rushing in.
"They're here!" Xue Beng exclaimed excitedly.
"That guy finally showed up!"
"Uncle Wang, let's go find him quickly!"
"We can't let Xue Qinghe get to him first!"
Prince Xue Xing frowned.
He chided, "Such impatience, how can you accomplish great things?"
Xue Beng slowed his pace, the excitement on his face gradually fading.
"Uncle Wang, it's not that I can't stay calm."
"It's just that the Tang Sect is too important!"
"If I can get their support and control the Firearms and Communication Soul Tools, I'll have a real advantage in competing with Xue Qinghe!"
"With this layer of protection, even Xue Qinghe won't dare to openly try to kill me."
"That's why…"
Prince Xue Xing finally relaxed his brow.
"Before we go to find Tang Lan, we need to go and see Dugu Bo first," Prince Xue Xing said in a low voice, "Just in case something happens on the way."
Xue Beng was taken aback.
"Impossible, right? Xue Qinghe wouldn't…"
Prince Xue Xing waved his hand, cutting him off, and strode out.
Xue Beng could only follow.
The facts proved it.
Prince Xue Xing's judgment was absolutely correct. The assassination team, composed of two eight-ringed Soul Douluo and six seven-ringed Soul Saints, had ambushed them twenty kilometers outside Heaven Dou City.
Those two eight-ringed Soul Douluo even had a martial soul fusion skill!
If Dugu Bo hadn't reacted quickly, releasing a large-scale Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison to create a poisonous barrier to protect the team...
Xue Beng would have really been finished.
Watching the retreating assassination team, Xue Beng's teeth nearly shattered!
"He actually dared?!"
"Why wouldn't he?" Prince Xue Xing said calmly. "We've already exposed our ambition by stepping out this time. The Tang Sect can't be eliminated in the short term, so they can only get rid of you."
Xue Beng remained silent.
Prince Xue Xing didn't pay him any mind, instead cupping his hands towards Dugu Bo.
"Thank you for your assistance this time."
Dugu Bo ignored him.
He gazed in the direction the Assassination Team had retreated, lost in thought.
Those two Title Douluo, their Spirit Fusion Skill was very powerful!
How could they be so unknown?
Prince Xue Xing, accustomed to being ignored, just shrugged it off.
Dugu Bo is just like that.
If it weren't for the fact that he used the Heaven Dou army back then to force Yue Guan to retreat, saving Dugu Bo's life…
He wouldn't have been able to get this guy to move.
The group hurried to Tianji City.
Following the information,
they found Tang Lan and Xiao Wu at a snack stall.
Prince Xue Xing hadn't even spoken yet. The aloof Dugu Bo actually spoke first!
"You little demon, you seem to be enjoying yourself. You're really wearing out this old man's bones!"
"Sounds familiar?"
Tang Lan ate the wonton Xiao Wu fed him, glancing at Dugu Bo.
"Your hair's black again, so the poison's mostly gone, huh?"
"It's all thanks to your method." Dugu Bo sat down opposite him, sighing with emotion. "If it weren't for the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison strengthening me, I would have been in a real mess this time."
Oh?
Tang Lan's interest was piqued, and he continued to press for details.
He learned that Dugu Bo had almost been ambushed by two Soul Douluo.
His expression was also strange.
A Title Douluo as a doormat? They really lived up to the name!
"What's with that look?" Dugu Bo said, displeased. "Besides those two Soul Douluo, the remaining Soul Saints all got hit by my poison, they're definitely dead!"
Tang Lan's mouth twitched.
"You, a Title Douluo, are proud of killing a few Soul Saints?"
Dugu Bo was about to lose his temper!
Prince Xue Xing, who had been ignored, quickly stepped forward to calm the situation.
Xue Beng took the opportunity to speak.
"Sect Master Tang, I am Xue Beng!" Xue Beng bowed. "I am here on behalf of the Heaven Dou Empire to apologize for Xue Qinghe's offense against you."
Tang Lan picked up his bowl and took a sip of soup.
He casually said, "Xiao Wu, what conditions did they offer when we went to the Star Luo Empire this time?"
Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng were both shocked!
Had this young master disappeared for a month to conduct a field study in the Star Luo Empire?
Was he really going to move?
"There are so many conditions."
Xiao Wu held up her fingers, counting them one by one.
"Give money, give people, give special privileges, give cultivation resources."
Xue Beng couldn't help himself!
Years of pretending to be a playboy made him blurt out almost instinctively—
"Do you think the Heaven Dou Empire will just let you leave? If today—"
It was Prince Xue Xing who kicked Xue Beng, sending him to his knees.
He stood in front of Tang Lan and bowed deeply.
"Xue Beng is ignorant. Please, Sect Master Tang, be magnanimous!"
Xue Beng was dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Even if he was a bit over the top with his words…
Was there really a need to be so servile?
Tang Lan shook his head, looking at his unconvinced expression.
With this kind of quality, he'll be the ruler of Heaven Dou in the future?
If Qian Renxue hadn't "cleared the obstacles" for him, and Emperor Xue Ye wasn't on his last legs…
He wouldn't have been able to become emperor.
He didn't bother with Prince Xue Xing either.
Tang Lan turned to Dugu Bo.
His single sentence perked everyone up!
"Old Monster Dugu, if I were to go to the Star Luo Empire, would you stop me?"
