Chapter 380 The Assassination by the Holy Spirit Cult, Spiritual Doppelganger.
"Junior Brother Wu, what are your plans for the future?" Zhang Lexuan asked as she stepped forward.
"Of course we have a plan. We'll lure the snake out of its hole and put on a big show for that old dog Zhongli Wu. I want him to see with his own eyes in the competition the day after tomorrow that, because of his arrogance, all his carefully trained disciples and grand-disciples will die tragically at our hands," Wu Xuan said with a disdainful expression.
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao looked at Wu Xuan with even more admiration. Zhang Lexuan, on the other hand, was deeply moved, never expecting that her former junior classmate would now be standing on the front lines, fighting against evil.
"Xiao Tao, also send a message to the elders hiding in the shadows, instructing them to leave the city and keep a close watch on the main roads leading to Mingdu. If the Holy Spirit Cult dares to send reinforcements, then have the elders directly ambush and kill their reinforcements," Wu Xuan instructed.
"Yes!!" Ma Xiaotao nodded emphatically.
Enjoy the evening!
As expected, the Tang Clan emerged victorious after a day of competition. With Wang Dong'er and Tang Tian on the field, Long Aotian of the Body Sect couldn't cause any trouble.
After having dinner at the Mingyue Hotel, Wu Xuan stood up and looked at everyone, saying, "There are no matches tomorrow, so let's go to Mingdu tonight and have a drink while we're at it!"
"Great!" The crowd cheered and followed Wu Xuan out of the Mingyue Hotel.
However, Wang Qiu'er's gaze towards Wu Xuan was somewhat unusual.
The weather in Mingdu has turned cooler these past few days, especially after sunset each evening when the temperature drops significantly. There are several mining areas around Mingdu, so the air quality here is generally worse than in other parts of the mainland. Only after a wind blows does the air become clear.
As the group strolled along the streets of Mingdu, Xiao Xiao's gaze kept drifting to both sides of the road. "I still prefer the ancient and grand atmosphere of our Shrek City. This place has too much of a metallic feel."
"I think it's alright, they each have their own advantages!" said Nammon Yoon-ah from the side.
"Not bad, apart from the environment being a bit lacking, the living conditions are really impeccable!" Wu Xuan, who was walking at the front, commented.
The group chatted casually as they strolled leisurely through Mingdu. Only the participating team members and eleven others, including Ma Xiaotao, were out today.
As for Zhang Lexuan and Ye Guyi, they were with Elder Xuan.
Without the protection of a powerful figure, Wu Xuan didn't believe Zhongli Wu could tolerate being exposed so openly.
After walking around for a while, the group stopped in front of a bar. The bar was luxuriously decorated and looked very high-end.
Even before entering, one could feel the rousing music and the strong aroma of wine. As Wu Xuan and his group approached, a waiter respectfully came forward to greet them.
"Are there any private rooms left?" Wu Xuan asked.
"Yes, yes, please come in!" the waiter said respectfully.
Soon, everyone was led to an extremely luxurious private room. The mesmerizing lighting, comfortable leather sofas, and a long table carved entirely from rare wood all spoke of the room's extraordinary nature.
"Bring me your most expensive wine," Qian Guming instructed the waiter.
A glint flashed in the waiter's eyes, and he said, "Okay, please wait a moment, it'll be right there."
"."
On the other side!
Inside a guest room in the Sun and Moon Palace, Zhongli Wu, upon hearing his subordinate's report, excitedly stood up. His gaze fixed intently on the followers below: "Is what you've said true?"
"Reporting to the Master, I personally witnessed Wu Xuan, who provoked our sect, leading a group of students to stroll around Mingdu City, and finally going to Minglan Bar for drinks," a man reported, bowing.
"Furthermore, Shrek Academy's Gluttonous Douluo did not follow either," another person reported.
"Alright, go and collect your reward!" Zhongli Wu waved his hand, and the man immediately retreated, thanking him profusely.
"Ghost spirits, ghostly figures!" Zhongli Wu, who was sitting in the main seat, called out. In less than half a minute, two blurry ghostly figures appeared from the ground.
A man and a woman! They look quite similar.
These two are twin siblings, and are considered Zhongli Wu's personally trained subordinates. They are responsible only for him and are titled Douluo, apart from the eight elders and twelve grand masters.
The two were both level 92 Title Douluo, and their martial souls were none other than Ghost Shadow, one of the evil martial souls!
As titled Douluo of the agility-based attack type, the two were rarely sent out by Zhongli Wu to carry out missions.
A scroll flew out from Zhongli Wu's hand and slowly unfurled in front of a man and a woman. The portrait in the scroll was of Wu Xuan.
"This man is a great threat to the Holy Church. At Minglan Bar, once we find him, we only have one chance to strike. Even if we can't kill him, we must severely injure him. Also, we must not leave any evidence." Zhongli Wu said coldly.
"Yes, sir!" the two replied respectfully, then vanished without a trace, turning into ghostly figures.
Inside the bar, five waiters carried bottles of fine wine into the private room one after another.
At Wu Xuan's signal, a waiter walked up to Wu Xuan, added three ice cubes to his glass, and then poured in the wine that had just covered the ice.
"Guest, this is our specialty, rose wine!" the waiter explained before respectfully stepping aside.
Wu Xuan nodded slightly, then picked up his wine glass and took a small sip. The wine was indeed good. A faint rose fragrance accompanied the wine down his throat. The aroma seemed to evaporate on its own, and soon spread to all his senses as the wine went down. A warm feeling also spread from his stomach, giving him a comfortable feeling as if all the pores of his body were opening up.
On the other side, Qian Guming couldn't wait to pick up the glass in front of him and drink the wine, which had just been cooled a little by the ice, in one gulp.
"This wine is good, brother, have a taste." As he spoke, he poured himself another glass.
Wu Xuan downed a glass of wine, then leaned back on the soft sofa, his eyes slightly closed.
Within Wu Xuan's spiritual sea, he entered a wondrous state. The vast, boundless sea of his spirit surged with powerful waves, but the water had transformed into a dazzling silver. This was a mutation resulting from Wu Xuan's spiritual power breaking through to a tangible and substantial level. Each surge of the silver water caused the resulting spray to pause slightly in mid-air. Silver whirlpools frequently appeared on the seemingly endless surface of the sea.
Above the Sea of Spirit, a pure white sphere of light hovered, emitting a faint glow. This sphere was not perfectly round, but rather oval, somewhat like an egg. The light flickered, brimming with the vitality of life.
At this moment, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor were both quietly floating on the sea.
Hyotei remains a twin-tailed girl, while Tenmeng Ice Silkworm, having suffered a mental blow, no longer takes human form and appears in its true form as an ice silkworm.
The egg-shaped ball of light suspended above the Sea of Spirit quietly shattered, and a beam of light unfolded within it.
"Thump, thump, thump!" The rhythmic heartbeat was clear and strong. The figure in the air slowly descended, drifting in front of Ice Emperor and Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
"How is it? Is there any difference between this spiritual clone and my main body?" The one who landed in the air was Wu Xuan. However, this body was entirely formed from spiritual power, and its entire body was a cold white color.
"Not bad, not bad! In just half a day, you've already mastered my escape technique. You truly deserve to have tangible and substantial spiritual power." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm raised its large head and leaned close to Wu Xuan, praising him.
"Hmm, now I can rest assured about this assassination attempt." As the light around Wu Xuan's spiritual clone dissipated, a figure identical to Wu Xuan appeared before the two.
Ice Emperor, standing to the side, couldn't help but remind him, "Little Wu Xuan, you have your beliefs, so we won't stop you this time. But you must remember that Tian Meng's avatar technique cannot stay in the outside world for too long, and you should try not to damage this spiritual clone, otherwise it will damage your spiritual sea of consciousness and you will not be able to recover in a short time."
