Chapter 112: Covert Operations
After three days, during this time, Dugu's family also ushered in a short period of peace, and Dugu Xin knew that under this short period of calm, there was such an undercurrent.
Just as Duguxin was dealing with the family's affairs in the inner hall, he only felt upset and put down the letter in his hand.
At this time, a hearty voice suddenly came, "Hahaha, grandson, our Dugu family should not be killed, the old man can actually break through to the realm of soul saints in his lifetime." ”
Elder Hillis walked slowly from the door, his figure, which was originally a little rickety because of his old age, also became a little younger because of the breakthrough of his soul power, his original gray hair also appeared with some black hair, his complexion also became ruddy, and his body exuded the aura of belonging to the soul saint.
Dugu Xin was overjoyed and said, "Grandpa, you have successfully broken through the Soul Saint." ”
Hillis laughed and said, "Fortunately, the mission is not dishonored, and the sky will not end, our lonely family." ”
The grandfather and grandson were happy for a while, and Dugu Xin suddenly thought of something, the smile on his face was fleeting, and his brows were furrowed again.
Seeing this, Elder Xi was a little puzzled and said, "What's the matter, you little ghost, grandpa and I broke through, why are you still not happy." ”
Dugu Xin sighed and said, "Grandpa, don't you know, I used the Contra token given to me by my teacher last time to deter all parties, although it gave the Dugu family time. ”
"But it also makes the Dugu family fall into a deep quagmire, once they find out that your grandfather has broken through to the soul saint, they will definitely attack the Dugu family frantically regardless of the consequences, and kill you before your grandfather you get the soul ring."
Elder Xi had just broken through and his mood was gone, Dugu Xin was indeed right, now he can only be regarded as a pseudo-soul saint, although he is much stronger than the soul emperor.
But Zhengzhen fought with Liu Guangtian and Mo Tian to raise the card soul saint, and he would be killed in less than fifty rounds, and he could only be called a soul saint after obtaining the seventh soul ring, so that he could barely compete with one of them.
Dugu Xin suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked, "Grandpa, who knows the news of your breakthrough?" ”
Hillis thought for a while, and then immediately said, "No, except for the guards outside the cultivation room, there is only Xin'er you, the old man thought that he had just broken through, so he would come to Xin'er for you as soon as possible." ”
Dugu Xin pondered for a while and said, "The cultivation room belongs to the important place of the Dugu family, and the guards are absolutely loyal, so there will be no problem in general, now the top priority is that grandpa, you must first obtain the seventh soul ring and become a real soul saint in order to stabilize the Dugu family." ”
Elder Xi said solemnly, "Then I will immediately gather Elder Ouyang and Elder Xi Leng to hunt the soul beasts needed for the Seventh Soul Ring. The Dugu family is temporarily garrisoned by Xin'er and you, and with the Contra token, they should not dare to touch the Dugu family for a while. ”
Who would have expected that Dugu Xin looked around, and instantly his soul power exploded, covering the surroundings with soul power, and after finding that there was no one, he said solemnly, "Grandpa, after my observation in the past few days, I found that there is a traitor in our family, and the status of that traitor is definitely not low, and he can almost participate in the affairs of the clan." ”
"I suspect that it should be among the other three clan elders, and it is very likely that there is more than one, almost controlling the movements of the Dugu family, if it is not for me to make a dangerous move every time, it may be swallowed up by the other three."
Elder Hillis was a little incredulous, and said, "This... It is so possible, we clan elders and your grandfather Dugu Tian met when they were young, joined the Dugu family together for several years, and watched the Dugu family gradually prosper, how could it be that they betrayed the Dugu family。。。。。 ”
Dugu Xin sighed and said, "Grandpa, I don't want to believe it either, but so the clues point to it, now in order to ensure that Grandpa's seventh soul ring is foolproof, I think Grandpa still brings some purple gold coins to hire some reputable mercenary groups to hunt, and there is no need to care about the consumption of money." ”
Elder Hillis thought about it for a while, and it was indeed as Dugu Xin said, it was indeed during this period of time that the Dugu family had fallen into unprecedented passivity, which was very weird.
These days have been overwhelmed by many crises, think about it calmly, it is indeed very possible that Duguxin said it, but he has known the three of them for many years, so that Hillis did not suspect the other three.
Elder Xi sighed and said, "Hey, then let's do what Xin'er said first." ”
Dugu Xin immediately added, "Grandpa, you will take advantage of the night tonight to set off alone, and then join a convoy on the way, stabilize your strength after arriving at the destination, start hunting the seventh soul ring as soon as possible, and try your grandson to buy time." ”
Hillis nodded, turned to leave, briefly prepared the salute and money, and as he left, muttered to himself, "Is it true that when you know each other at a young age, you can only share wealth and wealth, and not hardship? . . . Hey~"
And Dugu Xin looked at his grandfather leaving, and looked at the clear sky of Dugu's house, but it made Dugu Xin feel like a black cloud pressing down on the city, under great pressure and out of breath.
