Chapter 231: Scheming Against Spirit Hall
“Sect Master, wanting to deal with the Elephant Armor Sect silently without a trace, I’m afraid Spirit Hall will also get involved…”
Dugu Bo was a bit worried, after all, everyone now knew that the Elephant Armor Sect had already attached itself to Spirit Hall.
If they rashly made a move against the Elephant Armor Sect, Spirit Hall would not sit idly by.
“Don’t worry, there aren’t many people in Spirit Hall’s Holy Temple. From Spirit City to here, a round trip would take at least two days.
To deal with the Elephant Armor Sect, one night is enough!
Spirit Hall won’t go head-to-head with us over an irrelevant chess piece.
As long as we resolve it fast enough, once everything is settled, even if Spirit Hall wants to investigate, they won’t have the opportunity.”
Ling Mo had already planned it out. Once the Ghost Gate disciples’ hidden weapons entered the battlefield, it would be a bloodbath slaughter.
They could end the battle in an instant, not giving him any time to react.
Whether it was the Hidden Blade Valley disciples or the Heavenly Machine Pavilion disciples, they all had extremely strong mobility.
Plus a thousand armored soldiers, no matter how strong the Elephant Armor Sect’s strength was, it would be useless.
“Spirit Hall! Hmm… If you hadn’t mentioned it, I almost forgot. I still have a grand gift prepared to send them…”
“Grand gift? What grand gift?”
Dugu Bo was stunned upon hearing this, not understanding what Ling Mo meant.
“After the Heaven Dou Empire division ends, we should head to Spirit City, right?”
Ling Mo smiled. He suddenly remembered something—that in the original story, when Tang San and the others went to Spirit City, they were secretly ambushed and assassinated by Spirit Hall.
“That’s right. What’s the problem with that?” Dugu Bo was puzzled. Everyone knew about this, so why was Ling Mo suddenly bringing it up?
“Exactly! In this tournament, we’ve openly clashed with Spirit Hall multiple times, which will surely provoke their retaliation.
It’s very likely that on the way to Spirit City, we’ll face a calamity.
Imagine, if we follow the main group to Spirit City and Spirit Hall sets up an ambush along the way, what would happen?”
As soon as Ling Mo finished speaking, Dugu Bo was completely stunned. He had never considered this issue.
Hearing Ling Mo say it like this, he suddenly had a moment of realization.
“Sect Master, are you saying that this time Spirit Hall plans to set up an ambush on the way to Spirit Hall and deal with us right there?
No wonder Salas that old fellow has been acting so strangely lately. So it was premeditated…”
Thinking of Salas’s series of unusual behaviors during this period, Dugu Bo had already foreseen what was about to happen.
“Exactly! The best way to handle something you can’t get is to destroy it…
The students in this division are more outstanding than in previous years, and Xue Ye that old fellow has already made statements.
Many people have expressed they will join the Heaven Dou Empire, and Spirit Hall has little opportunity left.
The final solution is to eliminate these potential threats before they grow.
This line of thinking is the same as mine, unfortunately… whether it’s Xue Ye or Spirit Hall, they’re still one move short…”
Ling Mo suddenly smiled.
The most outstanding few people in this tournament had already been targeted by Ling Mo.
If there were no accidents, these people would all be Ghost Gate disciples.
Among them, Heaven Water Academy was definitely unavoidable, because Ling Mo’s two wives were there, as vice-captain and captain.
As for Blazing Fire Academy! If there were no accidents, they couldn’t escape either…
Thinking back to what happened last time, Ling Mo wanted to laugh. He didn’t know if Huo Wu had recovered yet.
As for Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Yan was there too, so Ling Mo basically didn’t need to worry.
Among the academies that advanced this time, there seemed to be one from Meng Yiran’s family. Ling Mo couldn’t recall the name for the moment.
Anyway, big and small academies, Ling Mo had them all targeted. These people absolutely couldn’t escape his grasp.
Xue Ye wanted to poach people from Ling Mo’s hands? Wishful thinking…
“So, Sect Master, how do you plan to deal with them?” Dugu Bo still didn’t understand. Ling Mo spoke in riddles, always feeling like there were many secrets hidden within.
But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t figure out what was on Ling Mo’s mind.
It could only be said that as a sect master, Ling Mo was qualified.
At least, he didn’t let his subordinates easily guess his thoughts.
Even Dugu Bo couldn’t guess, let alone others.
“Simple! They want to set a trap, so we’ll give them a trap within a trap.
Perfect timing to use this opportunity to properly weaken Spirit Hall’s strength.
No matter how many people they send, I’ll take them all…”
After Ling Mo finished speaking, he added a reminder, “Right, I forgot to tell you, this time, Chrysanthemum Pass and that old ghost might appear too.
Didn’t you always want to find them? Here’s your chance.
At that time, they might come hiding their identities. If you’re not careful and kill them, Spirit Hall can only swallow their anger silently.”
Ling Mo said with a smile.
Those two lackey Titled Douluo of Spirit Hall had done plenty of shady deeds for Spirit Hall over the years.
Perfect, this opportunity could be used to take them out together.
“Really? Great, I’m getting impatient…”
Upon hearing Chrysanthemum Pass was coming, Dugu Bo immediately said excitedly.
He had always been troubled over how to deal with those two guys, but they were so considerate, walking out of Spirit City on their own.
“Don’t get too excited yet! Since Spirit Hall knows our Ghost Gate’s strength, they definitely won’t just send those two Titled Douluo…”
Ling Mo promptly poured cold water to prevent Dugu Bo from getting overheated.
“Ah? Spirit Hall has other Titled Douluo?”
Dugu Bo wasn’t aware of this. Spirit Hall’s methods of hiding their strength were too formidable.
“Spirit Hall’s Titled Douluo might not be fewer than our Ghost Gate’s!”
Ling Mo said indifferently. Spirit Hall’s highest-level Hall of Worship had quite a few Titled Douluo inside.
The leader among them was Qian Daoliu. Ling Mo was a bit wary of him. If that old fellow acted personally.
Should he take the chance to eliminate him? If he really did, Qian Renxue would probably come at Ling Mo desperately on the spot.
Ling Mo temporarily didn’t want to deal with that old fellow and could only pray he wouldn’t get bored and meddle.
To deal with Qian Daoliu, Ling Mo had a few killing moves.
First… puppet self-explosion! Using a top-tier puppet’s self-explosion to heavily injure him at the cost of great damage to himself.
The puppet in Ling Mo’s hands could completely achieve this, but… it depended on the actual battle situation.
Second… use the Supreme Bone! Activate the Supreme Bone Domain, forcibly open up a space, and clash head-on with raw strength.
However… this fighting style was also a kill-enemy-one-thousand-self-damage-eight-hundred move.
Once the Supreme Bone Domain was activated, the damage to Ling Mo’s body was also very great, and… to breach his defense, he would need to use Divine Punishment and Buddha’s Fury Tang Lotus.
Third, directly deploy Ghost Lord! This was the simplest move, and also the most practical.
When in doubt, ask Ghost Lord. Under the heavy sword, all beings are equal.
So far, Ling Mo hadn’t encountered anyone who could withstand one sword from Ghost Lord, not even Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
If it really came to a fight, Qian Daoliu probably couldn’t either.
“Alright, let’s set aside Spirit Hall matters for now. After the promotion match ends, there’s still some time for arrangements.
Tomorrow morning, immediately gather the disciples and prepare. The morning after, I hope to see results I’m satisfied with…”
