Chapter 569 Next Plan
As Wang Sheng spoke, a cunning light flashed in his eyes, as if he had already begun to imagine how to teach the prince of the Xing Luo Empire a lesson.
Hearing this, Lu Yu frowned, waved his hands quickly, and said in a serious tone: "Wang Sheng, don't mess around! Although Dai Mubai is usually low-key, don't forget his identity.
He is a member of the royal family of the Xingluo Empire, and there must be strong people secretly protecting him.
Do you really think he is just an ordinary soul master? Rob him? That is the same as seeking death!"
There was a hint of warning in Lu Yu's tone. He knew very well that Dai Mubai's background was far from as simple as it seemed.
The Xing Luo Empire royal family is one of the most powerful forces on the continent, and its background is unfathomable.
The guard around Dai Mubai is most likely a Soul Douluo, or even a stronger one at a higher level.
Wang Sheng's face changed slightly after hearing what Lu Yu said, and his original excitement seemed to be extinguished by a basin of cold water.
He frowned, and the image of "big family" came to his mind.
"Royal Guard"
Such words made me feel vaguely uneasy.
He scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Is it really that exaggerated? That guy doesn't look like he's hiding his true abilities..."
Lu Yu glanced at him and said calmly: "Don't look at him as a lazy guy. If we really fight, you and I combined are not enough for him.
Not to mention the power behind him, which is far beyond your and my imagination.
Take my advice, don't provoke him, or you'll get into trouble."
Lu Yu's words were calm but carried an unquestionable tone. Although Wang Sheng was a little impulsive, he was not a bad person by nature. He just occasionally let his own passion get the better of him.
After hearing this, Wang Sheng was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, saying angrily: "Okay, you have a point.
I will listen to you and not provoke that guy."
Although he said this, there was still a hint of unwillingness in his eyes. It was obvious that he was still a little upset about Dai Mubai's arrogant attitude.
Just then, Liu Zixuan, the person in charge of the auction venue, walked over quickly.
His steps were a little hurried, with a look of respect and hesitation on his face, and he was holding a freshly sorted bill in his hand.
Lu Yu's eyes fell on him, and he had already guessed something in his mind.
Liu Zixuan walked up to the two of them, bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "Master Lu Yu, all the goods in the auction have been sold. The bottle of potion you took out was sold at a sky-high price. The soul coins are ready, and you can count them at any time."
He paused, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and then he continued, "But... the gentleman who bought the medicine wants to see you, is it convenient for you?"
When Lu Yu heard this, his heart was moved.
He had already guessed that the person who bought the medicine was most likely Dai Mubai.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and analyzed the situation quickly in his mind.
His current identity is hidden, and a specially made disguise mask conceals his true face, but the strong people around Dai Mubai may be able to see through the disguise.
If we meet rashly and our identities are exposed, we may encounter unnecessary trouble.
What's more, he knew Dai Mubai's character. Although this Xingluo prince seemed unruly on the surface, he was actually very scheming and was definitely not someone he could easily deal with.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu shook his head, and said calmly but firmly: "Manager Liu, thank that adult for his kindness on my behalf, but now is not the time to meet."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand from under his cloak and opened his palm, revealing a small metal object.
It was a 416 bullet, dark gold in color, smooth on the surface, and emitting a faint cold aura.
Lu Yu handed the bullet to Liu Zixuan and said calmly: "Please give this to that gentleman and tell him that the time has not come yet and we will meet again someday."
Liu Zixuan was stunned for a moment, took the bullet, and looked at it carefully.
This bullet seemed extremely unfamiliar in his eyes. It was small and delicate, without any fluctuations of soul power on its surface, but it inexplicably gave him a sense of danger.
He wondered in his heart, could this thing be some kind of special soul guide? But he didn't dare to ask more, just nodded respectfully and said, "Okay, Master Lu Yu, I will definitely hand this thing over to that master."
Lu Yu said no more, turned around and walked to the end of the corridor. His cloak fluttered slightly in the night wind, making him look mysterious and aloof.
Seeing this, Wang Sheng hurriedly followed him and asked in a low voice: "Lu Yu, what did you give that guy? It looks weird."
Lu Yu just smiled, didn't answer, and quickly disappeared into the night without stopping.
On the other side, Liu Zixuan stood there, staring at the bullet in his hand with a frown.
He vaguely felt that there was some unknown secret hidden behind this small metal object.
He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, turned and walked towards a VIP room in the auction venue.
In the VIP room, Dai Mubai was leaning on a luxurious mahogany chair, playing with an exquisite wine glass in his hand, his eyes were cold and a little impatient.
Liu Zixuan pushed the door open, bowed respectfully, and whispered, "Master Dai, that gentleman doesn't want to meet at this time, but he asked me to bring something to you."
As he spoke, he carefully placed the 416 bullet on the table, took a step back, lowered his head and did not dare to look directly into Dai Mubai's eyes.
Dai Mubai raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked in a cold voice: "Where is the person? Why didn't you bring him here?"
There was a hint of coercion in his voice, and his tone was icy, like the chilly wind in winter, causing cold sweat to instantly break out on Liu Zixuan's forehead.
Liu Zixuan clasped his fists quickly, his tone full of fear: "Master Dai, that gentleman acts mysteriously, and I cannot force him.
He only asked me to give it to you, saying that the time has not come yet and we will meet again in the future."
As he spoke, he glanced at the bullets on the table, feeling uneasy.
Dai Mubai's gaze fixed on the bullet, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
This thing looks inconspicuous, it is dark gold all over, with a smooth surface, and no soul power fluctuations. It looks ordinary, but it reveals an inexplicable sense of refinement.
He was born into the Xingluo royal family and had seen countless rare treasures, but this small object felt unfamiliar to him.
He snorted coldly and asked, "What is this? Do you know?"
Liu Zixuan quickly shook his head and said respectfully, "I am stupid and can't see what's so special about this thing. I just think... it seems a little extraordinary."
He spoke carefully, fearing that he might anger Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai frowned, reached out to pick up the bullet, and rubbed it carefully between his fingertips.
The cold touch of the bullet made his heart move slightly. He felt vaguely that although this thing looked simple, it was definitely not an ordinary item.
He pondered for a moment, his eyes flashed, and he whispered: "Pan Bo, come out and take a look."
As soon as the words fell, the air in the room seemed to tremble slightly, and a green-brown figure slowly walked out from the shadow behind Dai Mubai.
He was an old man with a haggard face and a thin body. There was a bit of hostility and indifference in his eyes, as if he looked down on everything in the world.
He was dressed in a green-brown gown and his steps were silent, like a ghost.
It was Pan Bo, the guard beside Dai Mubai.
Panber walked to the table, his eyes fell on the bullet, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.
He stretched out his dry fingers, gently picked up the bullet, and after carefully observing it for a moment, he slowly shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "This thing has no soul power fluctuations, it is not like a soul guide.
But its material and craftsmanship are extremely exquisite, and there is a sense of crisis. I can't tell its origin."
Dai Mubai frowned even deeper when he heard this.
His fingers tapped the table lightly, making a crisp "tap tap" sound.
Sound, lost in thought.
Anyone who could refine such a potion must be no ordinary person, and the appearance of this bullet made him feel a little curious and alert.
He whispered, “The person who can make such a medicine and send such a strange thing must be extraordinary.
If I could find him, I would be able to gain a huge improvement with his potions.
We must not let Big Brother and his men win over this person first."
He paused, turned his gaze to Pan Bo, and said in a deep voice: "Pan Bo, you go back to the empire and use the royal intelligence network to find out the details of this person.
Remember, you must act in secret and never let the news leak out."
Pan Bo clasped his fists and whispered, "Yes, Master, I understand."
His figure flashed, and then he disappeared into the shadows again, silently.
Dai Mubai's gaze fell on the bullet again, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
When he thought that Liu Zixuan knew about this, he couldn't help but feel murderous.
In order to prevent the news from leaking, he said coldly: "Pan Bo, come back."
In the shadows, Panber's figure reappeared.
Dai Mubai said calmly: "Liu Zixuan knows too much, let's get rid of him."
When Liu Zixuan heard this, his face turned pale instantly, his legs went limp, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
He wanted to beg for mercy, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't make a sound.
Pan Bo gave him a cold look, clasped his fists and said, "Yes."
Then a figure flashed and disappeared in the room with Liu Zixuan, leaving only dead silence.
At the same time, Lu Yu had returned to the backyard of Shrek Academy.
It was a dark night, and the moonlight shone on the bluestone slabs in the courtyard, casting a cool silver glow.
Lu Yu sat cross-legged under an ancient tree, closed his eyes and concentrated, a complex map emerged in his mind.
That was the Qilin Seal Map he had just purchased through artificial intelligence. The map clearly marked the specific location of the Qilin Seal - eighteen thousand feet deep in the Star Forest.
Lu Yu opened his eyes, his look solemn.
He was no stranger to the Star Forest.
This vast forest is a paradise for soul beasts and a forbidden area for soul masters.
Seven thousand feet is already the edge of the depths, and over ten thousand feet is the real core area. Even a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse can only stop at ten thousand feet.
The location of the Qilin seal is 18,000 feet, which is an almost untouchable forbidden area.
He took a deep breath and asked the AI, "Is there any way for me to enter the Star Forest 18,000 feet deep and obtain the Qilin Talisman?"
The voice of the artificial intelligence regulator sounded in his mind, with a bit of coldness: "With your current strength, it is almost impossible.
Unless one becomes a god, no soul master can go deep into that kind of place.
However, there is a jade slip in the system that can refine your soul and mental power into one, which will last for twelve hours.
During this period of time, you will be like a ghost on earth, unable to be detected by any soul beast or soul master.
As long as you enter the 18,000-foot area within the time limit, you will obtain the Qilin Martial Spirit."
When Lu Yu heard this, his heart was shocked.
This approach sounds tempting, but it is also full of risks.
The fusion of soul and mental power, turning into a ghost state, is undoubtedly an extremely mysterious method, but if he cannot complete the task within twelve hours, he may be trapped in that state forever and there will be no way back.
He frowned, lost in thought.
Although the system's arrangement seemed feasible, there were too many variables and he could not fully trust it.
At the same time, his mind drifted to the upcoming game.
The Soul Master Competition has entered a white-hot stage, and seven teams will engage in fierce competition in the next few days.
The Thanos Team, the Haotian Team, the Cheng Youcai Team, the Puppet Team, the Tornado Team, the Nether Tiger Team and the Blood Evil Team, each of them is very powerful.
Among them, the three teams from Shrek Academy are particularly eye-catching.
The Thanos Team and the Hades Team are composed of freshmen with great potential, while the Tornado Team is composed of seniors. The captain is a Soul King, there are three other Soul Kings in the team, and the rest are Soul Masters. The overall strength is strong.
Lu Yu rubbed his brows and muttered to himself: "It's not easy to stand out from these teams..."
Lu Yu stood by the window, looking up at the sky. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face, making his resolute outline even clearer.
His eyes were deep, as if they could penetrate the clouds and reach the unknown distance.
Silently thinking about the Kirin Talisman, he took a deep breath, suppressed his urgent desire, and whispered to himself: "I'll deal with it after the game... Now, I have to earn enough soul coins first."
The prices of goods in the mall are ridiculously high. Without enough soul coins, you will not be able to cope with the next challenges.
Thinking of this, he clenched his fists, a determination flashed in his eyes, and he turned and walked back to the room, his steps as firm as a rock.
Inside the room, the candlelight flickered, reflecting on the wall, casting mottled light and shadows.
Lu Yu sat on a wooden chair, playing with a soul coin in his hand. The cool touch of the metal made him feel a little calmer.
He began to think about his next plan: this competition was not only an opportunity to become famous, but also the key to accumulating resources.
He closed his eyes, and various rare items in the mall emerged in his mind - those treasures that could make him even stronger, all of which required huge amounts of soul coins.
The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile: "As long as I want it, I can definitely get it."
Early in the morning of the second day, the sun shone through the clouds and onto the stone road of the fighting arena, creating a faint golden glow.
Lu Yu led the members of the Thanos team and walked towards the competition venue in an orderly manner.
Every team member was in high spirits, with fighting spirit burning in their eyes, especially Wang Sheng and Huang Yuan, who talked in low voices, their tone revealing their excitement of being eager to try.
Lu Yu walked in front, his black robe swaying gently in the wind, with a steady aura, like a sharp sword that had not been unsheathed.
After arriving at the rest area, Lu Yu found Zhao Wuji and said in a calm but unquestionable tone: "Teacher Zhao, I have a request."
Zhao Wuji was leaning against a stone pillar. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.
