Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

Chapter 197 The Luxurious Ambush Team

The rain kept falling, and it got heavier and heavier.

Dark, thick clouds, like pythons, coiled in the sky, while thousands of tons of water poured down from the heavens.

Large raindrops dribbled down from a centimeter above Lu Mingfei's head. With his current soul power, he could easily go out in the rain without an umbrella.

He was walking alone on the mountain path of the Western Hills Royal Mausoleum, thinking that with such heavy rain, the paper money he had prepared for Xue Qinghe in advance would probably be useless. However, he had brought a bottle of wine, so he wasn't being stingy.

There is a royal guard stationed at the foot of the mountain year-round, but with Lu Mingfei's cultivation level, he easily slipped in. The western mountain is very high, and it took him almost an hour to reach the top.

It has to be said that the weather today is truly awful; everything is pitch black, with thick, dark clouds that seem to be about to collapse from above.

Standing on this mountaintop, I felt a strange sense of tragic heroism as I stood alone against the storm. The saying "the higher you climb, the colder it gets" probably describes this feeling.

Royal mausoleums have no tombstones; the underground palaces built here are of the highest rank.

Lu Mingfei wouldn't go so far as to dig into the underground palace specifically to find Xue Qinghe's grave. He simply placed a bowl in front of the swan sculpture at the entrance of the underground palace and poured himself some wine.

Lu Mingfei tilted his head back, took a sip of wine from the bottle, wiped his mouth, and then slowly poured the bowl of wine from the sculpture onto the ground.

But after thinking about it, I felt like something was missing.

He then snapped his fingers and casually conjured an ice chrysanthemum, placing it on the sculpture.

"Xue Qinghe, Xue Qinghe, look at you, you were so tiring when you were alive, and now you're still causing trouble for me even after you're dead." Lu Mingfei looked up at the gray sky and sighed helplessly.

He then turned his head to look at the black-robed figure sitting quietly in the stone pavilion beside him, chuckled, and asked, "May I ask this valiant hero's name? Are you seeking wealth or your life?"

As early as last night, Lu Mingfei had noticed more than one danger warning alarm in the distance. He couldn't identify who was behind it, but he didn't take any action and simply remained vigilant.

However, as they approached the vicinity of Heaven Dou City today, this sense of danger grew stronger, especially after Bone Douluo returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School first, the alarm bells for danger became even stronger.

So he got off the carriage first, not wanting to involve Bai Baoshan and the other people from the Education Commission.

As for coming to pay respects to Xue Qinghe in the rain, it was purely on a whim.

This mountain is one of the highest peaks near Tiandou City, so it will be easier to run there later.

"Brother Hao is right, you are indeed very perceptive." The figure in black took off his hood, revealing a resolute and weathered face.

"Brother Hao? So you are Tang Hao's elder brother? The sect leader of the Haotian Sect?" Lu Mingfei asked.

He originally thought that he had gone too far in Wuhun City and attracted the attention of the higher-ups of Wuhun Hall, but he never expected to run into Haotian Sect again.

It's true that he and the Haotian Sect are incompatible.

"I never expected that you, the number one genius on the continent, would actually know me." Tang Xiao chuckled; Lu Mingfei's excellence still exceeded his expectations.

The opponent's method of using soul power to avoid the rain is something only a Soul Saint can use, yet Lu Mingfei, a Soul King, used it for more than an hour and his soul power was not exhausted, which is simply unbelievable.

"I was just lucky to have heard of the name Xiaotian Douluo." Lu Mingfei smiled and cupped his hands in greeting. When he first saw the name Xiaotian in the materials in the academy library, he couldn't help but think of the Howling Celestial Dog.

Looking back now, considering the Clear Sky Sect's previous actions of being forced to close down by the Spirit Hall and abandoning the four major single-attribute sects, plus their act of blocking a Soul King today, it was truly prescient. They really are despicable.

Although Lu Mingfei's behavior appeared respectful, Tang Xiao immediately sensed the sarcasm in Lu Mingfei's words.

After all, when he first became a Title Douluo, he was forced to close his sect by the Spirit Hall. Lu Mingfei's so-called fame was definitely not a good one.

"Sharp-tongued." Admiring him is one thing, but how could Tang Xiao possibly tolerate being mocked to his face by a mere brat?

With a cold snort, the soul power pressure belonging to a Title Douluo was instantly released, pressing down on Lu Mingfei in front of him.

Lu Mingfei took several steps back.

However, this surprised Tang Xiao. With the strength of his soul power just now, even an ordinary Soul Douluo would be injured by the shock, but Lu Mingfei only took a few steps back.

"Isn't it a bit much for you, senior, to bully the weak like this?" Lu Mingfei said with a wry smile, frowning as he called out to the other side, "Hey, old man, if you don't make a move soon, your dear disciple is going to be beaten to death!"

He was obviously acting. Although there was no one around, it didn't stop him from using someone else's power to intimidate others and bluff his way through.

However, just as he was speaking, Lu Mingfei felt a strong killing intent lock onto him.

Tang Xiao made no move, but suddenly several footsteps and applause came from the steps behind Lu Mingfei.

"Playing tricks." A weathered but domineering voice rang out.

Tang Hao and the three old men following behind him walked up the stone steps together.

Meanwhile, a dark shadow was rapidly churning in the rainy night sky, moving so fast that it almost blended into the darkness.

"This should be considered our first official meeting, Lu Mingfei. Xiao San has really been taken care of by you these past two years."

Lu Mingfei had seen what Tang Hao looked like from afar in Wuhun City before, but this was the first time he had seen him up close like this.

It can only be said that families with the surname Tang tend to have rather unattractive members.

As for the old men following behind him, Lu Mingfei recognized one of them as Titan of the Power Clan, and the fastest Soul Douluo on the continent in the sky should be Bai He of the Agility Clan. The remaining two should be from the Defense Clan and the Destruction Clan, without any surprise.

"The Haotian Twins, along with the Soul Douluo clan leaders of the four single-attribute sects, are all gathered here. You all really think highly of me, Lu Mingfei!" Lu Mingfei took a deep breath.

Two titled Douluo wielding the Clear Sky Hammer and four single-attribute sect leaders who could barely be compared to titled Douluo wielders—today's lineup could practically be considered a top-tier assassination squad.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but wonder how many despicable things he had done that made the entire Haotian Sect take him so seriously.

"What? Lu Mingfei isn't here?"

Inside the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, Xue Beng coldly questioned Bai Baoshan, "It's one thing for Lu Mingfei to be ignorant, but doesn't Chairman Bai know who Father Emperor and Sect Master Ning want to see tonight?"

He is now the sole heir of the Heavenly Dou Empire, and Bai Baoshan dares to defy him—what audacity!

However, before he could continue his outburst, a sudden burst of light on the horizon interrupted all his words.

The entire population of Tiandou City witnessed it; it was as if the sun had risen in the far distance, bringing the fiery dawn of daybreak!
