Chapter 208 Dai Youheng's Scheme Muddies the Waters
After the duel ended, the two immediately returned to the town. Dai Youheng was quite satisfied with his current combat strength.
Outside the window, dusk was as dark as ink, and the lights of the town lit up one by one. Dai Youheng tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound, as if keeping time for his upcoming plans. Nana had already packed her bags and stood quietly to one side, her light always following her young master.
"Nana, it's time to bring Lingya back," Dai Youheng said.
"Yes, young master!" Upon hearing this, Nana immediately took out a small silver soul tool and sealed a recall letter inside. This was a communication soul tool, similar to a carrier pigeon.
With a slight release of soul power from his fingertips, the soul tool transformed into a streak of light, silently merging into the night and speeding towards Star Luo City.
In just one day, a figure shrouded in cold air appeared outside the town at dawn. Ling Ya was covered in dust, but his eyes gleamed with a sharp light. He gently knocked on the wooden door, and after receiving permission, he pushed it open and knelt on one knee before the tall figure standing by the window.
"Young Master, you have finally emerged from seclusion."
Dai Youheng turned around, raised her hand slightly, and said, "Get up. You've worked hard these past two years. It seems you haven't wasted your time."
Ling Ya stood up, his face revealing an undisguised pride. "Thanks to the young master, and thanks to the core materials from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy that Nana brought back, as well as the instruction from Purple Spirit Douluo, I successfully advanced to the seventh-level Soul Master half a year ago."
"Level seven—not bad." Dai Youheng nodded, his tone scrutinizing. "This means you have truly joined the ranks of high-level Soul Masters. But Ling Ya, you should know that the Xuanming Sect has a profound foundation and is not someone to be trifled with. Level seven alone is not enough to shake its foundation. Only at level eight, or even touching the threshold of level nine, will you truly have the right to seek revenge and reclaim that past humiliation with interest."
Ling Ya's expression hardened, the pride in his eyes turning into a resolute edge. "Your subordinate understands. Level seven is merely a new starting point. The blood debt owed by the Xuanming Sect will be personally repaid by your subordinate with level eight, or even level nine, soul guidance power!"
"Very good, keep that spirit." Dai Youheng's tone softened slightly. "How have Mother and Luo Li been these past two years?"
"Young Master, rest assured," Ling Ya replied respectfully. "Madam is in good health, and her state of mind seems even more peaceful than when she was at the Duke's mansion."
Although the young master's aptitude is average, he cultivates diligently. Two years ago, shortly after you went into seclusion, he successfully broke through to the Great Soul Master level and acquired his second Soul Ring. It was a seven-hundred-year-old Blood Flame Tiger, with extremely compatible attributes and formidable Soul Skill power. I personally protected him during the process, and everything went smoothly without any setbacks. However, both of them are very concerned about the young master. I can only inform them that the young master is currently in a crucial period of seclusion.
Dai You gave a soft "Mmm," and said, "Well done, thank you for taking such good care of me."
At this moment, Nana stepped forward and asked softly, "Young Master, what should we do next?"
Dai Youheng walked to the table, his fingertips tracing the unfolded map before finally pressing down heavily on a location. His eyes flashed with a fierce light, like a tiger poised to devour its prey in the dark.
"There are still about half a year to go before the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament. At this moment, my dear younger brother Huo Yuhao's exchange study program in the Sun Moon Empire is coming to an end."
A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips, a smile full of calculation and control.
"The gears of fate always mesh so perfectly. His return will grant me the two gifts I need."
.
Once he got those two items, he thought, "I should be able to pass the second test from the god of sloth now."
Nana and Lingya held their breath, awaiting instructions. The air in the room seemed to freeze, with only Dai Youheng's deep and clear voice echoing.
"Lingya".
"Your subordinate is here!"
"I'm entrusting you with an important task. You must set off immediately for the Heavenly Soul Empire to visit my two beloved younger sisters from the Lan family. They should be cultivating at the Body Sect right now." Dai Youheng's gaze sharpened. "More importantly, pay a visit to the powerful Body Douluo, Du Busi, and deliver a message."
He lowered his voice and explained in detail every step of the plan, every possible variable, and the corresponding countermeasures.
Lingya listened intently.
"Remember, your task is not to participate directly, but to ensure the waters are muddy enough. It's time to wake up this sleeping behemoth, the Body Sect, and let it stretch its limbs. Only then can we truly fish in troubled waters."
"Your subordinate obeys and will certainly not fail the young master's trust!" Ling Ya clasped his hands and bowed, his tone resolute.
"As for us—" Dai Youheng looked at Nana, his smile becoming somewhat inscrutable, "Nana, it's time for us to set off too. To Maple Leaf City, that pivotal city on the border between the two countries."
He walked to the window and gazed in the direction of Maple Leaf City, as if he could already see the series of exciting events that were about to unfold.
The biting north wind, sharp as a knife, swept across the vast and frigid territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Ling Ya, dressed in a dark, close-fitting outfit, arrived on the orders of his young master, Dai Youheng, with his sights set on the mysterious and elusive Body Sect.
Although Dai Youheng was certain that the Body Sect was hidden within the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire, the exact location of its mountain gate was deliberately erased, like footprints on a snowfield, and little was known to anyone.
However, for Dai Youheng, finding the Body Sect was not difficult. After all, there were quite a few peripheral forces that had contact with the Body Sect. He quickly identified two of the most likely clues.
Firstly, there is the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
As the Heavenly Soul Guardian Sect, the Body Sect has intricate ties with the royal family and must possess secret communication channels. Princess Vina, in particular, a genius with twin martial souls, has direct contact with the Body Sect. However, this path, seemingly the shortest, is actually the most difficult.
The Heavenly Soul Palace is heavily guarded and filled with experts. Princess Vina rarely leaves her home, so forcibly breaking in or attempting to contact her is not a good approach.
Dai Youheng passed without hesitation and chose the second possibility.
Secondly, there is the Snow Demon Sect. In the second competition in the original work, the Body Sect participated under the name of Snow Demon Sect. Dai Youheng investigated and found that this sect actually exists. Moreover, their sect leader's martial soul is Snow Demon Body, which is clearly a type of Body Martial Soul.
Most importantly, this sect was not hidden; everyone knew its address, making it easy to find. If Dai Youheng was not mistaken, the Snow Demon Sect should be an outer force of the Body Sect.
It is used to handle some secular affairs that are inconvenient to directly appear in; or it is itself a branch of the Body Sect, a window to the outside world and to absorb Body Martial Soul talents.
Regardless of the possibility, the Snow Demon Sect is very likely a shortcut to the Body Sect.
