Chapter 182 The Zhu Family's Ideas Dai Youheng Fishing
The official announcement issued by the Star Luo Empire's royal family quickly spread throughout the world, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, the ripples of which rapidly spread to the upper echelons of the entire continent.
The power struggle within the Dai family was no secret. The names Dai Yueheng and Dai Youheng might not carry much weight in themselves, but what they were fighting for—control of the Western Army Group—was enough to make any power take notice.
This is not an ordinary army of 500,000.
It is the sharpest spear and the strongest shield of the Star Luo Empire! Its core combat strength includes tens of thousands of well-trained and well-coordinated Soul Master legions, as well as the elite Soul Master Corps built by the Star Luo Empire with all its resources!
Its superior equipment and formidable combat power far surpass those of other legions in the Star Luo Empire. Its position in Star Luo is equivalent to that of the Guardian of the Nation in the Sun and Moon Empire.
This is why the Dai family and the Zhu family, who depend on it, are so desperate to keep it. Once this sword is completely taken back by the royal family, the Dai family will never be able to regain the glory of their ancestors and will only be able to serve as subjects for generations; while the Zhu family's status will plummet, falling from the Empress's family to ordinary nobles, which is something they absolutely cannot accept.
At this moment, deep within the Zhu family mansion.
As Zhu Shu looked at the information in her hand regarding the Star Luo Royal Family's announcement and Shrek Academy's accusations, a cold and sharp light flashed in her eyes, which resembled those of her younger sister, Zhu Man.
"Dai Youheng—missing—evil spirit master—" Her slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, a dangerous smile curving her lips. "Shrek Academy's label on him came at just the right time—"
A bold and enticing plan quickly took shape in her mind.
"Ling Ya has returned to Star Luo City, and that old woman Manyi also returned after searching the Star Dou Great Forest without success. At this moment, Dai Youheng should no longer have any Title Douluo-level guardians by his side," Zhu Shu calmly analyzed. "This is his most vulnerable moment!"
"Slaying evil spirit masters is a noble cause revered by all spirit masters under heaven!" Her eyes turned ruthless. "If I can find him before the royal family and kill him in the name of eliminating evil spirit masters, then even if the Star Luo royal family knows the truth, they will have no choice but to swallow their anger and may even have to thank me for ridding the empire of a scourge!"
"Dai Huabin's revenge can be avenged at the same time, and Yueheng's future will be unobstructed—" Thinking of this, Zhu Shu could no longer suppress the killing intent and impulse in her heart. She decided to take action herself, using all of the Zhu family's intelligence network and connections, to find Dai Youheng's hiding place before the royal family could, and deliver a fatal blow to him!
Meanwhile, inside the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
After a long while, she dismissed everyone around her and stood alone by the window, gazing into the direction where Dai Youheng might be, her beautiful eyes filled with longing and worry.
How she longed for Lingya to take her to him immediately, to see with her own eyes that he was safe and sound, and to stay by his side.
But she can't.
As an imperial princess, her political instincts told her that countless eyes were watching her intently at that moment!
Dai Youheng was "obsessed" with Princess Xingluo for a long time.
This is common knowledge throughout the mainland. With Dai Youheng's whereabouts shrouded in mystery, she, "his most beloved woman," is undoubtedly the best clue and breakthrough in the eyes of everyone trying to find him.
Any unusual action she takes could bring Dai Youheng to his death.
The Zhu family, Shrek Academy, and even other forces that might covet the Western Army Group or want to stir up trouble, will not let go of any clues.
"Youheng—you need three months—" Xu Jiujiu clutched the letter Dai Youheng had written to her tightly, her fingertips turning slightly white from the force. "I will definitely fight for those three months for you! I will never let anyone disturb you!"
She forcefully suppressed the impulse and longing in her heart, her eyes regaining their firmness and composure. Her most important task now was not to find him, but to create a safe external environment for him, stabilize the situation, and confuse all potential enemies.
On the small hill, the profound and powerful evil aura surrounding Dai Youheng receded back into his body like a tide, and the dark golden seven-pointed star divine mark on his forehead slowly disappeared. Under the operation of the "Golden Gang Evil-Repelling Body" technique, his control over his own power increased day by day.
Just as the legendary Bixie Clan is known for, they are an extremely domineering race. Even power and blood separated from the body cannot defy their will.
This technique related to warding off evil also gradually gave Dai Youheng the same qualities. Those evil energies were also part of his power, so he could naturally hear the command and unleash them when he wanted to, or gather them back when he wanted to.
In fact, he won't need three months at all; he can get it done in as little as one month or as long as two months.
He just wanted to spend more time with Bai Wanning, and also to go fishing, attract some fish, and take the opportunity to get rid of them.
He had already sent Nana out to gather information, and sure enough, many people were looking for him at that time.
There are mainly three forces: the Star Luo Empire, Shrek Academy, and the Dai and Zhu families.
The three parties do not cooperate; they basically each search independently.
Nana appeared behind Dai Youheng. "Young Master, Zhu Shu has taken action herself."
Dai Youheng slowly opened his eyes, a cold smile flashing in his molten gold tiger-like eyes. "As expected. She must already know that Ling Ya and Manyi are not by my side. How could she miss such a golden opportunity?"
He had wanted to get rid of this woman for a long time.
The two Zhu sisters, Zhu Man and Zhu Shu, are not a threat. As long as we get rid of Zhu Shu, who is stronger and the backbone of the Zhu family, the entire Netherworld Cat Clan will be completely free of threats, and the direct line of the Dai family will lose its most important ally.
After all, the purpose of this family's existence is to assist the White Tiger Dai family and to use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Netherworld White Tiger together with the Dai family members. Currently, only these two sisters in the Zhu family can use this move together with Dai Hao.
Unfortunately, Zhu Shu is stationed in Xingluo City, which is heavily guarded, making it extremely difficult to assassinate a Soul Douluo of agility-based attacks silently. Now that she has delivered herself to our doorstep, it is a golden opportunity.
"Where is she now?" Dai Youheng asked.
Nana reported back, "As you instructed, I deliberately leaked some processed clues to her. She is currently about a hundred miles away from this village. But she is not stupid and did not intend to take all the credit or take any risks. She also shared the clues that I deliberately gave her with the Shrek team. At present, she and the Shrek search team are roughly in the same area, but they are not traveling together."
Dai Youheng raised an eyebrow. "She's smarter than I thought. She even knows how to use one tiger to devour another, or rather—she wants us and Shrek Academy to fight each other so she can reap the benefits?"
Nana nodded and continued to offer her judgment and advice, "Young Master, in my opinion, if you want to ensure that you kill her and protect the Madam and Young Master's secluded place from being exposed, you may need to take some risks."
Dai Youheng looked interested. "Nana, tell me what you think, and see if it's the same as mine."
"I believe you need to appear before her in person and then flee immediately. Once you're close enough, to prevent you from getting away, she won't have time to notify the Shrek Academy members nearby and will have to pursue you alone. If you continue to release clues slowly like you are now, you might eventually lure the Shrek Academy members to the vicinity of this village as well, at which point the fact that the Madam and the young master are still alive will be discovered."
Nana's analysis was calm and insightful. Zhu Shu's caution, however, forced Dai Youheng to adopt a more proactive and riskier strategy.
Dai Youheng stood up, brushed the dust off his clothes, his eyes showing no fear, but rather a pre-hunt excitement. "Risk and reward go hand in hand. In that case, let's get started immediately—"
Just then, Dai Luoli's clear and energetic voice rang out from down the hillside, "Brother—! Come and have lunch! Mother made super, super delicious grilled fish! Come back quickly!"
Her voice was filled with pure joy and a desire to share. As a type of feline, tiger-type martial spirits have a natural preference for fish. And Bai Wanning's cooking skills, after being certified by Dai Youheng over the past few months, have definitely reached the level of a titled chef. Even he, who doesn't usually crave food, is often tempted to eat more.
Dai Youheng paused slightly before revealing his action plan. He turned to look at the cozy little courtyard with wisps of smoke rising from its chimney at the foot of the hill, where the enticing aroma of grilled fish seemed to waft through the air.
The coldness and murderous intent on his face vanished instantly, and he laughed, "Let's go, Nana. Let's go eat first. Anyone who kills often knows that you need to be well-fed to have the strength to kill."
Seeing her young master's sudden change in expression, Nana couldn't help but smile and respectfully replied, "Yes, young master."
