Chapter 465 Implementation of the Plan
Tang Qi and his sister, who had left long ago, slowly walked back, chatting idly about trivial matters along the way.
Once they arrived at their own courtyard, the two found seats and sat down.
Tang Qi lightly pushed off the ground with her toes, and the swing slowly began to sway. "Brother, with Qian Daoliu's strongholds about to be further eliminated, can Qian Renxue really still hold him back?"
Tang San leaned against the tree with his eyes closed, looking relaxed. "Yes, Qian Daoliu's obsession with becoming a god is immense; nothing can compare to it."
Become a god.
Tang Qi looked up at the freely growing trees and thought, "Let's see just how far Qian Daoliu will go for Qian Renxue."
Tang San seemed to know what she was thinking, and opened his eyes. "I will try my best to hold off Qian Renxue."
Now is not the time; at least for now, Qian Renxue cannot be allowed to get into trouble.
Tang Qi stopped the swinging and gave a soft "hmm".
They also need to hurry. If Qian Renxue really becomes a god during this period, their great advantage will be wasted.
At their level, they could better appreciate that the difference between even one level was almost like heaven and earth, let alone that between gods.
But she also knew that becoming a god wasn't easy; otherwise, Tang Chen wouldn't have tormented himself into that terrible state.
In the days that followed, in addition to regular training and treatment for Suqi, everyone worked at full capacity to advance the plan.
Tang Qi was mainly responsible for managing Tian Dou's strongholds, keeping in touch with Lao Xu to update him with the latest information, and adjusting the methods of attacking the strongholds.
They don't want to start a major conflict yet, so their actions are much slower; they approach from the periphery and gradually erode in.
Initially, the changes in the peripheral personnel did not attract attention, but this time Qian Daoliu clearly strengthened control, and they were exposed before they could take any further action.
Upon receiving the news, Tang Qi sighed slightly. Sure enough, this time it wouldn't be easy no matter what.
She didn't rush to do anything else, but simply revealed the information about the stronghold to the Heavenly Dou Royal Family.
This was something they had planned long ago.
Since these two strongholds are located in the capitals of Tiandou and Xingluo respectively, as long as Qian Daoliu discovers them quickly enough, he can reveal this information to both empires.
Xingluo was already under Dai Mubai's control, so they could have handled it on their own.
However, Tian Dou is still missing a crucial opportunity, which would be perfect for them to give to Xue Ke, helping her to seize complete power as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Tang Qi chuckled softly.
She had made a joking, nonsensical request, and Dai Mubai had actually agreed to it. She never expected him to be so determined.
After all, he used to be able to escape all by himself and hide in some corner, living a life of debauchery.
As for what kind of deal her brother made with him afterward, she didn't know. All she needed to do was tell her brother about Dai Mubai's determination.
Now that it's Heaven's turn to fight, they don't mind giving it another push.
Unexpectedly, Xue Beng had the strong support of the Prince, which meant that although Xue Ke was able to suppress Xue Beng, he had not been able to successfully take over the position.
Twirling the pen in her hand, Tang Qi felt a little sleepy, stretching and yawning at the same time.
"Go and rest if you're sleepy." Tang San walked past her and casually patted her head.
Tang Qi wrinkled her nose. "Brother! Your hair is all messed up!"
Tang San casually picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Did you pass the message to Xue Ke?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Qi nodded, "I already sent the message. Judging by the time, Xue Ke should receive it soon."
"If Xue Ke still can't take over even like this, then we don't need to worry about her anymore." Tang San put down his water glass and frowned as he looked in the direction of Tian Dou.
They've helped enough. If things still don't settle down, and chaos ensues, the outcome of the Heavenly Struggle is uncertain.
Tang Qi nodded in agreement. "How's it going with Xingluo?"
"They've already started." Tang San came back to his senses and looked at Tang Qi as he replied, "Dai Mubai's control over Xingluo is pretty good, and with our cooperation, we won't have to deal with it for long."
"In that case, let him check his own territory; he might get some unexpected gains."
"He said that Zhu Zhuqing would follow up on the investigation."
"She's quite meticulous, but that's not so easy to investigate." Tang Qi lay on the table, her eyes unconsciously staring at a certain spot.
It's not like they would have been able to detect something was wrong simply because they told Dai Mubai the news.
She should just wait patiently for news from Tian Dou; look how smoothly Xing Luo is progressing.
Thinking of this, Tang Qi sighed, only to receive a flick on the forehead from Tang San: "Why are you sighing at such a young age? If you're bored, go cultivate."
"Hmph." Tang Qi covered her head, got up and ran back to her room.
Xiangxiang tilted her head and glanced at Tang San, her paws itching to stomp on his head.
Sensing Xiangxiang's gaze, Tang San looked over with a half-smile.
"Meow?"
The short cry seemed to deny its own thoughts, and its figure disappeared from Tang San's sight, only to run to Tang Qi's side in the next instant.
Seeing the swaying door, Tang San chuckled and turned to leave.
Tang Qi peeked out and then quickly withdrew.
While waiting for news from Tian Dou, Tang Qi cultivated for a while before sitting on a willow tree in the academy.
She felt she had reached a bottleneck, and no matter how much she practiced recently, she felt she was falling short.
The willow branches swayed gently, and occasionally one of them brushed against her face, as if the willow tree was whispering secrets to her.
She casually grabbed a willow branch that brushed against her face again and swung it around in her hand.
In the distance, a group of children are training, falling down one after another and getting up again.
In a daze, she seemed to see what they used to be like.
"Xiao Qi, what are you doing here?" Zhang Ping was passing by when she inadvertently looked up and spotted Tang Qi. She was a little unsure at first, so she moved closer to confirm.
"Sister Ping? What brings you to the academy?" Tang Qi looked down at Zhang Ping curiously. Shouldn't she still be organizing new materials with Bing Linghai at this time?
After the project began, a lot of new information was updated.
Zhang Ping lightly touched the ground to the top of the tree. "Looking for you? Xue Ke sent me some new information."
Upon hearing this, Tang Qi, who had been lazily leaning against the tree trunk, immediately sat up straight. "Let's go, let's go to our training ground first."
Upon arriving at their destination, Zhang Ping began recounting the news Xue Ke had sent before even sitting down.
Tang Qi was somewhat surprised to hear that Xue Ke had acted swiftly and decisively, resolving the matter in the shortest possible time.
Is this because they're really in a hurry?
While Xue Ke's previous style of doing things was also quick, accurate, and ruthless, it wasn't like this; she would always make some arrangements first.
"Could it be that she had already sensed something was wrong before?"
Zhang Ping heard her mutterings clearly. "It's not impossible."
"After all, Xue Ke was just one step away from success. This matter might be able to help her send the avalanche out completely."
Tang Qi nodded. As long as it could be resolved, that was fine. She didn't care how Xue Ke resolved it; she just needed to know how to handle the aftermath to avoid any complications.
"By the way, brother should have contacted that Grandpa Dugu about this matter. Did he get involved?" Tang Qi suddenly realized that she hadn't heard Dugu Bo's name and quickly asked.
Zhang Ping shook her head. "Mr. Dugu did appear, but he didn't really get involved. He was most likely just keeping watch from the rear to prevent any escapees from getting away."
As long as this matter doesn't go wrong, Xue Ke's position should be secure.
The problem now is that although Emperor Xueye's body has been ravaged by Qian Renxue, with the Seven Treasures Sect Master there, it can probably hold on for a while longer.
If something happens during the time when the Thousand Paths Flow is active, it will take Tian Dou some time to stabilize its internal situation.
Forget it, I'll ask my brother first. If possible, he can give me some information. The rest is up to Xueke.
Knowing Tang Qi's thoughts, Tang San didn't hesitate to have someone leak the information.
Compared to Xingluo, Tiandou has a more solid cooperative relationship with them, and if Xueke has a plan, they can also give it a push.
Thinking of this, Tang Qi inquired about Xing Luo's situation again.
Tang San calmly recounted the latest developments, while his mind was already contemplating the next steps.
Tang Qi pursed her lips and listened attentively, while lowering her eyes to fiddle with the jewelry in her hands.
Dai Mubai moved even faster than expected. While Xue Ke was still in motion, he had already swept his tail.
"Brother, is it possible that Dai Mubai actually already knows about the existence of the stronghold?"
While this way of thinking may not be ideal, it's not a bad thing to think about it more often.
"It's not impossible, but to say that he has made contact with Qian Daoliu is even more impossible."
Tang San did not deny Tang Qi's question. The experiment at the base would not benefit him. On the contrary, the disappearance of more people would affect him. He had no need to keep the base.
It's highly likely they noticed something was wrong in the city, but haven't yet traced the source.
A glance met his eyes, and Tang Qi guessed what he was thinking. She nodded quietly and said nothing more.
"Let them handle the rest themselves, and tell someone to keep an eye on the aftermath."
Tang Qi said "oh" and after explaining what needed to be done, she took Xiangxiang and went to cultivate.
As soul power circulated, the marks of the human and the cat appeared and disappeared.
Xiangxiang swished its tail in frustration, the tail slapping against the ground with a loud thud.
"Is Xiangxiang stuck too?"
After cultivating for a while, Tang Qi lay on the ground and reached out to lift Xiangxiang up.
"Meow~" I haven't made any progress even after a few days of seclusion.
Upon hearing this, Tang Qi sighed and placed it on her chest, staring blankly upwards.
What's missing? Why can't we take it a step further?
The training room was filled with jewel-like orchids, their leaves drooping and swaying, emitting a faint light, as if comforting Tang Qi.
The next instant, a cloud of white mist appeared, gradually spreading throughout the training room, making the dim light even more hazy.
Tang Qi smiled and sat up abruptly. "I almost forgot. I've been so focused on the Gem Orchid lately."
With a change of focus, Tang Qi and Xiang Xiang immersed themselves in cultivation again, their marks flashing like stars in the sky.
The jewel-like orchid slowly faded, leaving only a single strand connecting the person and the cat.
The eerie light on the vines stabilized and became brighter as their soul power circulated, and the soul power of the two gradually reached a balance.
Tang San saw this scene through the window, revealed a gentle smile, and turned to head towards Bibi Dong's study.
Things are progressing fairly well; he needs to report his plans for the next phase to his teacher.
After listening to Tang San's report, Bibi Dong chuckled, "Little San, how long do you think Qian Daoliu can hold out?"
There was no other emotion in his tone, only a hint of curiosity.
She was quite curious to know how Qian Daoliu would react when the pawn he thought was completely out of his control; just thinking about it made her happy.
Tang San did not reply; he knew that Bibi Dong did not need his answer.
Turning her gaze away, Bibi Dong looked at Tang San with a deep expression. "How is Qian Renxue doing?"
At this point, if Qian Renxue were to become a god first...
"She is still unable to escape," Tang San stated the result calmly.
"Little San, after everything is over, the Spirit Hall will be in your hands." Bibi Dong nodded to indicate that she understood, and then began to talk about what would happen next.
Once this is over, she will also go out to seek an opportunity to become a god.
She had been trapped in the Spirit Hall for far too long, and had been fighting with Qian Daoliu for far too long.
Seeing Tang San's unchanged expression, Bibi Dong chuckled, "How the Spirit Hall ultimately deals with this is up to you to decide."
To be honest, she guessed that the Spirit Hall would most likely be handed over to that child named Bing Linghai in the end.
That child wasn't particularly driven by strength; he was kind-hearted and intelligent, but lacked ruthlessness. However, with that guy named Suqi around, he was still quite good.
As for these two siblings, and the other five children, each of them has a desire for power in their eyes, as well as a sense of freedom that shines through their bones.
Tang San looked directly into Bibi Dong's eyes, and after a while, he nodded in agreement.
With Bibi Dong's tacit approval, he could openly ask Bing Linghai for his opinion.
With a plan in mind, after Bibi Dong waved for him to leave, he immediately turned around and headed towards Bing Linghai's room.
Bing Linghai opened the door, looking at the person who came in with a surprised expression, "Third Brother?"
The materials have been compiled and submitted; he has confirmed that nothing was missing.
"May I go in?" Tang San asked politely, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Bing Linghai nodded and stepped aside to let him in.
The door slowly closed, completely concealing the sounds inside.
Upon receiving the news, Tang Qi looked in the direction of Bing Linghai and, after thinking for a moment, roughly guessed what the two were talking about.
While she was thinking, Jiang Qianjing came up behind her and gently patted her.
"You scared me." Tang Qi turned around, saw it was him, and patted him on the shoulder.
Jiang Qianjing smiled apologetically, "I was wrong, I was just trying to call you because I saw you were spacing out. I didn't mean to scare you."
"Hmph!" Tang Qi glared at him angrily. "What is it?"
Jiang Qianjing pulled the person into her arms. "What, can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong? It's been so long since we last saw each other."
Tang Qi leaned limply against him, "Stop talking nonsense, didn't we just see each other yesterday?"
"How can that be? We went to get busy after we finished discussing things," Jiang Qianjing complained, because they hadn't really spent any time together lately.
After a brief complaint, Jiang Qianjing got down to business, "Alright, I really did come to see you about something. Qiandaoliu has sent people to Seagod Island."
