"No, when the time comes I will find a way to get the princes to separate from most of the guards and face the attack together." Qian Renxue said.
"Besides, this is a good opportunity to deal with the Third Prince as well."
The excuse of being attacked by a soul beast is bound to arouse suspicion even with so many witnesses present, after all, this matter was initiated by the Tiandou royal family.
But if something happened to the prince of the Tiandou royal family, the Barak Kingdom would never suspect them no matter how hard they tried.
On the contrary, the princes who were also involved but not injured at all are more suspicious.
If there is a conflict, it should be a conflict between the following kingdoms, not a conflict between the Barak Kingdom and the Tiandou Royal Family.
"Young Master, the Second Prince just died, and now they are attacking the Third Prince. Isn't that too hasty?" Snake Spear Douluo was a little worried.
With the death of the second prince, many people have already begun to suspect Xue Qinghe.
If the third prince dies now, the only ones left in the Tiandou royal family will be the eldest prince Xue Qinghe, the six-year-old prince Xue Beng, and the youngest princess Xue Ke.
Xue Beng is too young and his talent as a soul master is average. Under such circumstances, the future crown prince position will most likely fall to the eldest prince Xue Qinghe.
Even if there is no evidence, in this kind of situation, whoever benefits the most will be the most suspicious.
"Although I'm a little anxious, this is also the best opportunity." Qian Renxue said.
"I will find a way to dispel the emperor's suspicions. You don't have to worry."
"Okay." Snake Spear Douluo didn't say much.
"By the way, what kind of spirit ring do you think is suitable for Xuan Ming's Blood Spear Martial Spirit?" Qian Renxue asked.
Snake Spear Douluo's martial soul is also a mutated martial soul, especially the martial soul's true form, which has both the toughness and strength of a weapon martial soul and the strong body of a beast martial soul.
"This..." Snake Spear Douluo thought about it.
"I haven't come into contact with his martial spirit myself, so it's hard to say."
"When acquiring spirit rings, the attributes of the spirit itself are also an important consideration."
"If I want to give accurate advice, I still have to get to know the situation in person."
"Personal contact..." Qian Renxue thought for a moment.
"When we get there, I'll find a chance for you to get in touch with him."
Snake Spear Douluo looked a little unnatural, "Young Master, are you really willing to go this far?"
"Wouldn't it be possible for any of the Soul Emperors who are accompanying us to give advice?"
"It's different." Qian Renxue said.
"Can I find a random Soul Emperor to give me advice and make him feel that I value him?"
Snake Spear Douluo was stunned, "Young Master, you don't want to reveal anything else to him, do you?"
"Not really." Qian Renxue shook her head.
"At least not yet."
"I learned from Dugu Yan that he was abducted by the patrol deacon of the Spirit Hall who awakened his spirit. He must have resentment towards the Spirit Hall, so we have to find a chance to eliminate his resentment towards the Spirit Hall."
"After this matter is over, go check on Olai City and capture the patrol officer from the Spirit Hall."
"Young Master, this is not appropriate, right?" Snake Spear Douluo said.
"Your undercover mission is very important. That guy is not trustworthy yet. Besides, he is very smart. You shouldn't hint at this to him."
"But if I want to win him over, I have to do it as soon as possible." Qian Renxue said.
"If I can't win his heart over to my side before he gets into more trouble with Dugu Bo, it will be hard to win him over later." "He's very smart. As long as I give him a hint, he will definitely think of more."
"Secretly, this is the fastest way to build relationships."
"But we don't know what kind of relationship exists between him and Dugu Bo." Snake Spear Douluo said.
"Young Master, you also said that what he said to Xue Qinghe before was probably intentional."
"What if he trusts Dugu Bo more?"
"This..." Qian Renxue frowned.
"It's really a hassle."
"We need to find a way to test the extent of his friendship with Dugu Bo. If necessary, we need to alienate the relationship between the two..."
…
The next morning, the autumn hunting team set out as planned.
The so-called autumn hunting does not really mean letting these royal nobles hunt soul beasts personally. After all, hunting soul beasts is very dangerous. If you are not careful, even a weak ten-year-old soul beast may cause an accident.
Therefore, in preparation for the Autumn Hunt, some soul masters would first be sent into the Soul Beast Forest to round up and drive those weak ten-year-old and hundred-year-old soul beasts to the hunting area. Sometimes, those soul beasts would be injured in advance to ensure the safety of the Autumn Hunt.
"The autumn hunt has already begun. Don't you want to join in the fun?"
After arranging the matters at hand, Xue Qinghe came to find Xuan Ming.
"Not interested." Xuan Ming said.
"Driving a group of soul beasts that have no ability to resist together and slaughtering them unilaterally, can this be called hunting?"
Xue Qinghe's eyes twitched slightly, "We can't let everyone run into the Soul Beast Forest to hunt soul beasts."
The participants of the autumn hunt this time were all young princes, and their cultivation was basically more than ten levels of soul masters, or more than twenty levels of great soul masters.
With this ability, if they entered the soul beast forest to hunt, it would not be hunting, but delivering food to the soul beasts! Dugu Yan turned to Xuan Ming and said, "Autumn Hunt itself is an activity mainly for entertainment."
"You don't have the courage to face powerful enemies, and you only dare to vent your murderous desire on the weak who can't resist. You are proud of it, and you can even get an inexplicable sense of satisfaction from it. I can't understand this kind of self-entertainment." Xuan Ming said.
Dugu Yan was speechless for a moment.
"I don't want to go either." Ye Lingling said.
"Hunting for spirit rings is necessary for spirit masters to cultivate, and it is inevitable. However, this kind of entertainment that takes pleasure in abusing the weak..."
Ye Lingling's expression looked a little unnatural.
If she had known that autumn hunting was for this kind of thing, she would not have come.
"Then let's go over there and take a look at the scenery." Xue Qinghe didn't force it.
"The scenery of the sunset forest is still very good."
"Let's go." Dugu Yan pulled Ye Lingling up and grabbed Xuan Ming.
One is intolerance, the other is disdain.
If she had known that these two people were not interested in the autumn hunt, she would not have gotten involved in this matter.
…
"Autumn Hunting...it's really a good opportunity."
Yue Guan, who originally wanted to go to Tiandou City to look for someone, heard about the autumn hunt as soon as he entered the city.
After hearing that Dugu Bo's granddaughter Dugu Yan was joining this trip and that she was accompanied by a strange-looking little boy, Yue Guan quickly caught up.
"It's not appropriate to just rob, it seems we have to create some chaos..."
