Chapter 8 Prey and hunter can switch at any time
The Duke's Palace is in chaos, and the political forces in the Star Luo Empire are also in chaos.
There are two forces, one of them used to be the royal family, and the other is the royal family now.
How did the Dai family lose the throne of Xing Luo in the first place? The official statement from the Star Luo Empire is that the emperor of the Dai family at that time voluntarily abdicated the throne because of the defeat in the war between Xing Luo and the Sun and Moon Empire.
It's not impossible, but probably only the Star Luo people believe this.
Other forces said that because of the unfavorable war with the Sun and Moon Empire, the Xingguan Xu family seized the opportunity to oust the throne.
This statement is slightly more believable, but it is also a joke that makes Qianjie a little uncomfortable.
How strong was the Xingguan Xu family at that time to dethrone the Dai family, which had a god-level ancestor and always wore the same pants as Shrek?
You must know that although generations of Dai family patriarchs may not have entered Shrek, there will always be a White Tiger Martial Spirit in Shrek's inner courtyard, and they are all White Tiger Martial Spirits from the main line.
And Qianjie got the third version from the palace of the Sun and Moon Empire: the change of surname of the Xingluo royal family had nothing to do with Sun and Moon. On the contrary, it had a lot to do with Shrek and a certain sect.
The titled Douluo of the White Tiger Martial Spirit was smashed to death in Xingluo City with a hammer.
Then, the Xingguan Xu family came to power.
As for why a certain sect suddenly wanted to mess with the Dai family, there is no record in the sun and the moon. Who knows what they are crazy about?
But as a time traveler, Qianjie roughly guessed the reason.
I can only say that there is a process from being the boss to calling him by his first name.
Look at how good the Qibao Glazed Sect is. Not only has it always been the Qibao Glazed Pagoda martial spirit, but it has also been shrinking in Qibao City without risking anything. It is not even the richest person in the world anymore.
Of course, the past cannot be pursued. How you lost it is no longer important. What matters now is how you get it back.
Maybe Dai Hao and Xu Jiawei are really as close as brothers and there is no gap between them, but the people below them are not, and their clansmen are not.
Don't you see what happened to Zhao Kuangyin and Li Erfeng?
And between these two forces sitting on each other's gunpowder keg, suddenly they are all hit by a ninth-level fixed soul bomb, causing an earth-shattering explosion instead of the small explosion just now. What will be the reaction?
Internal fighting? Shake hands and negotiate to find the murderer together?
Qianjie didn't know, but looking at the maid's expression, she understood the meaning of Qianjie's words and what the consequences would be if it really happened.
"Of course, Auntie, you don't have to believe it, you can also quickly send someone to Xingluo City to inform each other with the Xingguan Xu family, and the two families can find my companion together.
"But when the time comes, my companion will probably find a house and detonate all the bombs out of anger. I can't tell which house it is."
The maid's face looked gloomy and uncertain.
Bet?
No, this is not her life, it is a civil war in Star Luo, a family disappears between two families, and she, a maid, is not qualified to bet.
The light of the martial spirit shined again, but this time it struck the maid's own arm.
The moment the wound appeared, a butterfly turned into several drops of blood and entered the wound.
"Is this how you use your martial spirit? With all due respect, I'm afraid it won't threaten me." The maid stared at the wound on her arm with a mocking tone.
It is not that there are no liquid martial arts spirits similar to blood on the mainland, and it is not that no one has imagined the sinister way of soul power entering the enemy's body to destroy the enemy from the inside.
But no one does this, because when strange soul power enters the body, a normal soul master will react, and it takes an instant to mobilize the soul power in the body to expel the strange soul power.
"Then why don't you give it a try, Auntie?" Qianjie spread his hands.
The maid's face was still gloomy, she really didn't feel any strange soul power in her body.
This is the real way to use the hidden aura of Mengdie Soul Bone, and it is extremely suitable for Qianjie.
"By the way, I think it is necessary to tell Auntie about the effect of my second soul skill. It is a soul skill that uses a drop of blood to absorb the energy of the surrounding environment and then detonates it with my thoughts.
"I call it a blood explosion. The power of the explosion depends on how much soul power or energy of heaven and earth is absorbed.
"Of course, the speed at which it absorbs energy is actually very slow. Auntie, you don't have to worry about it for the time being.
"By the way, let me tell you, there are three drops of blood entering your body. Can you guess where they are?"
…
"What is your purpose?" On the way to the duchess's courtyard, the maid walking in front suddenly turned her head and asked.
By now, the fool has realized that the person who sneaked into the Duke's Mansion has nothing to do with the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao.
There are custom-installed soul bombs in the Duke's Palace, and Dai Hao also has them, but they will never carry them around casually and prepare to blow up their own homes. They will not even use them openly.
On the one hand, this thing is difficult to obtain, and on the other hand, a certain sect and Shrek don't like soul guides very much. What's going on with the White Tiger family using soul guides?
Last time, I killed the White Tiger with a hammer. This time, the target of the hammer might be the Duke's Palace, so I'd better be obedient.
"Let's talk after we meet your duchess." Qianjie shook his head.
"And can you use your true face? I'm not used to this face. I guarantee that no one will do anything to you." The disappointment on the maid's face was not concealed, and she made another request.
Qianjie didn't bother with the identity disguise and canceled the disguise.
"It turned out to be a little brat."
"Is there a necessary connection between ability and age, and are you sure this is what I really look like?"
"At least we saw through your disguise as Dai Yongfeng." The maid could hear the hidden meaning in Qianjie's words - it was as if he had changed his appearance.
After all, Qianjie's ability to disguise himself can't be seen with his soul power and eyes alone, and the maid can still realize this.
"Auntie, are you sure?" Qianjie looked at the maid meaningfully, "The identities of prey and hunter can be switched at any time.
"The technique of placing the baits you put out is not very advanced."
The Holy Spirit Cult has been carrying out the mission of assassinating Huo Yun'er for nearly three years. There is no social person with such a good status in the Duke's Palace, so how can he survive for thousands of calamities.
The other evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Sect are not stupid, so the method of pretending to lurk cannot be used by only Qianjie.
Disguise yourself as someone from the Duke's Palace, and then get close to Huo Yun'er and her son?
This method has long been used to death by the dead evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Sect.
Then they used their lives to find out a piece of information - Huo Yun'er and her son were in a special cold palace, not accessible to anyone.
Qianjie did not have the consciousness to sacrifice himself to pave the way for the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Sect.
Disguising himself as Dai Yongfeng cannot get close to Huo Yuner and his son because Dai Yongfeng is not qualified.
But by disguising Dai Yongfeng, it is not that difficult to get close to people who are qualified to enter the cold palace, such as the duchess.
As for how to get close, Qianjie has already given a good demonstration.
Why can Qianjie, who has the Mengdie soul bone, still have his soul skills observed? On purpose.
Dai Yongfeng is not only the bait used by the Duke's Palace to catch outsiders, but also the bait used by Qianjie to catch people with status in the Duke's Palace.
A little too crude, but useful.
