Douluo's Thief

Heaven Dou Palace.

Xue Qinghe was lying on his bed, motionless, staring at the ceiling.

He has informed Wuhun Palace of the situation here and is waiting for their reply.

I don't know how they will react.

Xue Qinghe's thoughts had drifted back to a few hours ago, to the conversation between himself and the thief.

Xue Qinghe gritted his teeth. Now he just wanted to find the bastard thief and question him.

If possible, give him another beating and then finish him off, breaking his bones into pieces.

But helplessly, he had no way to find the bastard thief, not even a way to contact him, and it was even impossible to kill him.

Today, he was truly in danger, only centimeters away from death.

If the other party wanted to take action, he would already be dead.

The bastard thief was actually protected by a titled Douluo. Like a ghost, he came within ten meters of him silently.

And neither of them noticed

Xue Qinghe now only has the cultivation level of a Soul King. Facing the bastard thief who once killed the Soul Saint, if only in terms of strength, Xue Qinghe is just an ant that the bastard thief can kill at will.

But he didn't know that the real cultivation level of the bastard thief was only a soul king, but as a soul master of the same level, Ling Dong's combat power crushed him.

However, he might feel even more uncomfortable if he knew.

Xue Qinghe was now in a very passive state.

Abandoning the plan may cause major changes in Wuhundian's plan, which is not what they want.

When the time came, this plan not only failed to work, but also caused the war to start before Wuhun Palace was ready, which had the opposite effect.

If the plan continues, then Xue Qinghe can be said to have entrusted his life to the hands of the bastard thief.

But that guy took the martial soul oath, so it should be considered safe.

The consequences of breaking this martial spirit oath vary from person to person.

Some soul masters become possessed after disobedience and eventually fall.

However, some people don't do anything, and no one knows why.

All in all, this kind of oath is sometimes unreliable.

But there is no way. There are no heavenly oaths on Douluo Continent. Those who violate the oath will be obliterated.

I had to make do with this.

Xue Qinghe began to recall the original conversation and thought about whether there was anything wrong.

Xue Qinghe was in a hurry at that time and did not have time to think about many details. He was shocked by the bastard thief.

This leads to many areas that may be overlooked.

"Well...there should be nothing missing.

Also, what will that guy ask me to do?”

..........

In a certain house in Tiandou City.

Ling Dong's body breathed out. This time the negotiation was considered a complete success. Without paying anything, he got a ten thousand year soul bone and help from Xue Qinghe.

It is almost impossible for Xue Qinghe to break the agreement.

Ling Dong could already guess what Wuhun Palace's plan was for Xue Qinghe, which was simply to let this person secretly control the Heaven and Earth Empire after disguising himself as Xue Qinghe.

Emperor Xue Ye had four sons, two of whom were dead. Ling Dong didn't know the specific reason, but it was most likely Xue Qinghe's handiwork.

Compared to the dandy fourth prince Xue Beng, Xue Qinghe is undoubtedly the best candidate to be the next emperor. When Emperor Xue Ye dies, it will be the time for Wuhun Palace to take control of the Tiandou Empire.

But that will take some time.

It can be seen that Wuhun Palace is not ready for a real war, otherwise it would not have allowed Xue Qinghe to lurk for so long.

With Xue Qinghe's current support from the Tiandou royal family, if Emperor Xueye dies, he will most likely become the next Tiandou emperor.

Then why don't you just do it now?

It's not because Wuhun Palace is not fully prepared yet.

Wuhun Palace would not easily start a war without complete preparations, and Ling Dong took advantage of this to force Xue Qinghe to submit.

From Ling Dong's point of view, the plan of having someone pretend to be Xue Qinghe and then become the emperor cannot be said to be very clever. Although the rewards may be high, the risks are not low either.

The moment Xue Qinghe was replaced, Wuhundian's plan was a little too difficult to get off, and he couldn't retreat even if he wanted to.

If they give up this plan, there is a great possibility that their ambitions will be exposed.

Once exposed, it may even directly trigger a war affecting the entire continent. At this stage, no one wants to see that kind of situation.

If Xue Qinghe is missing or dead, no one will speculate on murder.

It was fine before. If you wanted to quit, just pretend it was an accident.

People in Tiandou may have suspicions, but there is no evidence.

But now because of Ling Dong's existence, Wuhun Palace will not do this. They don't know what Ling Dong's plan is and whether it will expose them.

Unless the two parties trade again...

Again, Wuhun Palace is not ready for war yet.

Therefore, after Xue Qinghe's identity was discovered by Ling Dong, he still would not give up this plan, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.

If you can't retreat, you can only move forward.

So he chose to make a deal with Ling Dong, and after paying some price, he got an oath from Ling Dong that he would never tell.

An oath sworn by one's own martial spirit.

It was helpless, but they had no choice.

If you can't kill Ling Dong, you can only trade with him.

This is the best result so far.

Maybe Xue Qinghe and the others will find a way to kill Ling Dong when he asks them to help get the blade.

But Ling Dong didn't particularly care.

He would never trust the teammates he got in this way, and might instead try to trick them.

He didn't even know whether he would need the help of this teammate, and he still needed to plan.

If Xue Qinghe really wants to trick him, then let's see who is tricking whom among them.
