Chapter 205 The Blood-Spitting Nangong Bowl, Buy Buy Buy.
After respectfully seeing off Jing Hongchen and the Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan, Wu Xuan turned and entered a nearby alley. At this moment, the previous friendliness in Wu Xuan's eyes was gone, replaced by a sinister and malicious intent.
According to his recent reconnaissance, the tunnel dug by the Body Sect was not far from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
If nothing unexpected happened, it would reach the vicinity of Mingde Hall in two days. Therefore, he could deduce that the Body Sect's surprise attack on Mingde Hall would be approximately three days later. He could then visit the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and take advantage of the chaos to steal Mingde Hall's treasury. The soul tools produced by Mingde Hall were undoubtedly top-notch.
With the Body Sect taking the blame, who would suspect him, an insignificant nobody?
"Heh~ Heh~ Heh~ Heh~" Thinking of this, Wu Xuan couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh.
"Eek! Idol, your laughter is so weird! Are you up to something again? If you ever get a chance to make money, you have to take me with you!" Ye Guyi's figure suddenly appeared at the corner of the alley.
"Ahem, didn't I tell you to go back to the hotel and wait for me? Why did you turn back halfway? And stop thinking about getting rich all the time. We're upright people." Wu Xuan coughed tactically, taking the initiative.
"Fine! Fine, I won't tell you then." Ye Guyi pouted, then took out a stack of gold and red savings cards from her soul tool and handed them to Wu Xuan.
"Idol, I've made nearly 90 million gold soul coins betting for you these past few days. I made 50 million gold soul coins just from the last game. Considering how hard I worked, can you share some with me?" Ye Guyi very generously took out all the gold soul coin savings cards and let Wu Xuan distribute them.
"You still have some conscience. Here! Consider this 10 million as your hard work fee." Wu Xuan scanned the amount with his spiritual power and found that it matched. He then generously gave Ye Guyi 10 million.
"Only ten million?! I thought you'd be generous this time, idol!" Ye Guyi said, somewhat disappointed.
"You think it's too little? Then I'll take it back." Wu Xuan pretended to withdraw his hand.
The next moment, Ye Guyi pounced like a hungry tiger, snatching the gold soul coin card from Wu Xuan's hand, and said with a smirk, "Not at all, how could I think it's too little!"
In the past few days, besides helping Wu Xuan place bets, she had also been placing bets herself every day, and now her little treasure trove had swelled up.
"Well, that's good! Going back to sleep, I've been playing more than ten matches every day these past few days, I'm exhausted." Wu Xuan put away a stack of gold soul coin savings cards, then stretched and turned to walk towards the hotel.
Seeing this, Ye Guyi quickly chased after him: "Idol, do you say there are still evil soul master hideouts in the capital? Should we continue to take action tonight? When we take down their hideouts, can I have a share of the spoils? Not too much, just 30% will do. Idol, idol! Say something!"
"Bang!" A sharp sound of porcelain shattering rang out.
A middle-aged man, around forty years old, was smashed on the head, bleeding profusely.
"Useless! A bunch of useless trash! That bastard Lu Chong turned nearly twenty deacons against us, taking away so much of the alliance's wealth. How could you not notice such obvious signs? What use are you?" Nangong Wan roared furiously.
"Second Elder, please calm down! We've searched the entire Mingdu, but we haven't found a single clue! That scoundrel Lu Chong and his gang of deacons have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace," the middle-aged man said, clutching his bleeding forehead.
"Then search outside the city! Mobilize all members of the alliance and all nearby branch sects! If thirty li isn't enough, then three hundred li, three thousand li, thirty thousand li! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find that scoundrel!" Nangong Wan roared, his eyes bloodshot, like a ferocious demon.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The middle-aged man knelt repeatedly, trembling as he ran out of the main hall.
"Third brother, fourth brother! Those useless bastards in the alliance are completely unreliable. You two should work hard and search outside the city! If you really can't find them, you'll have to report to the sect leader truthfully." Nangong Wan slumped to the ground, seemingly having lost all his energy.
"Yes! Second brother, take care too. Third brother and I will go now." Youming Douluo clasped his fists and turned to leave the hall.
However, unlike Nangong Wan's fury, Wu Xuan had been living a carefree life for the past three days. With Ye Guyi as his little follower, he shopped at all the major merchant guilds and private soul tool customization shops in Mingdu.
Why bother learning soul tool making? At this stage, the so-called soul tools were too limited in power for absolute powerhouses. It was more cost-effective to just buy them.
He bought a level seven shock grenade, a level six invincible shield, a level eight piercing bomb, and a level eight defensive soul tool, the tortoise shell shield. He bought a series of things, and Wu Xuan quickly spent almost half of the gold soul coins he had won.
Ye Guyi was worried sick watching Wu Xuan spend money so fast. "Idol, why are you buying so many disposable soul tools? They're all expensive!"
Wu Xuan smiled slyly. "I'm planning something big. Aren't those evil soul masters from the Xi Shui Alliance out searching for clues lately? That old bastard Nangong Wan even sent out his right-hand men, the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder. Don't you think we should give him a surprise?"
"Idol! You mean we're going to intercept and kill those two Title Douluos?" Ye Guyi's face flushed with excitement. Evil soul masters, Title Douluos! Two Dou Sha (a type of soul tool) could boost her soul power by so many levels; just thinking about it made her blood boil.
"Smack!" A flick landed on Ye Guyi's forehead.
"Ouch! What are you doing~?" Ye Guyi's eyebrows shot up as she glared angrily at Wu Xuan.
"What are you thinking? I'm only a Soul Emperor, and you're just a Soul King. We're already struggling against just one of them, and you want two Dou Sha? Are you really not afraid of death?" Wu Xuan said irritably.
Ye Guyi's ears turned red upon hearing this; she had been somewhat carried away. The surprise attack on the Xi Shui Alliance a few days ago, where she slaughtered the Evil Soul Saint like a chicken, had momentarily made her forget the terrifying power of a Title Douluo Evil Soul Master.
"Then, idol, who should we attack?"
"To be on the safe side, we'll make our move after you break through to Soul Emperor. Our target is the Fourth Elder, that old beast at level ninety-one." Attacking a Title Douluo, with a nearly thirty-level difference in soul power, was an unprecedented challenge.
"Don't worry, idol, I feel I'm not far from level sixty. I'll need your help to hunt for a soul ring then." Ye Guyi clenched her small fist, her eyes burning with fierce fire.
"Then you can focus on your cultivation at the hotel. I'll be going out to gather information for the next two days. I've already renewed your room." Wu Xuan said calmly.
"Alright!" Ye Guyi responded, returning to her room to cultivate, her body brimming with fighting spirit.
Wu Xuan slowly walked to the window, gazing into the distance. In the distance, a hexagonal area outlined by lights came into view. Tomorrow was almost certainly the day the Body Sect would attack Mingde Hall; after tonight, he should start preparing.
