Chapter 25 Duel Tang 3's Thoughts
"All beings listen to the heavens."
Qin Xu's eyes flickered as he analyzed the ability he had just acquired.
Its range can cover half of Nottingham City, approximately 10,000 meters in radius, far exceeding the area of ordinary domain-type soul skills.
The fact that his spying didn't attract Bibi Dong's attention shows that this soul skill is extremely well concealed.
Moreover, it does not rely on the power system of Douluo Continent, such as soul power or spiritual power.
Moreover, it's not limited to Blue Silver Grass; it can sense any living plant.
Or rather... this is not a domain-type soul skill in the general sense of Douluo Continent, but a perception-type soul skill.
Of course, there are some shortcomings.
First, he can only sense images within a kilometer of him.
Beyond this distance, the image loses its completeness and vividness.
Another prerequisite is that there need to be plants that the person conversing with can control nearby, and in order to reduce the processing of too much dense information, he needs a word to 'search'.
With these two conditions met, he will be able to sense when someone calls his name.
Even if you can't respond immediately at the time, you can still recall the scene later.
After listening to their discussions, Qin Xu felt a surge of emotions.
He wasn't angry that the two Soul Emperors wanted to break the contract or betray them. Instead, he was angry at that Young Master Jiang.
It was clearly Jiang Fuhao who provoked the trouble first, and I have already tolerated it.
They even dare to bully honest people.
"I've already made so many concessions and compromises, why are you still forcing me like this!" Qin Xu muttered to himself.
"Why don't you just be a good Spirit Hall Master and wait until I surpass you in strength before I kill you with one punch? Why are you forcing me?" Qin Xu was increasingly dissatisfied with Jiang Xinhua and Jiang Fuhao.
Through Wansheng Lingtian, Qin Xu could sense that the footsteps of those people were gradually approaching.
Qin Ruins remained silent.
The Douluo Continent is full of wonder and mystery. When traveling across the continent, you can experience many interesting adventures, but behind this lies countless darkness and oppression.
The gap between classes hangs over everyone's head.
"Mountains crumble, people run away, money can't buy security, only strength is the most real..." Qin Xu sighed, but he wasn't nervous.
He wasn't afraid of Young Master Jiang's attack, and he felt that the other party probably didn't really intend to harm him.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone through such a long and complicated process.
Moreover, he still has a trump card.
Bibi Dong later gave him a papal decree, which, if he were to reveal it, would solve 98% of the problems.
In addition to the two Soul Emperors who served him, he also had contact with other experts.
Even if those two Soul Emperors cause trouble, they can't turn the tide. Those two are just for show.
Qin Xu just felt that the experts he had come into contact with would probably not be willing to offend Jiang Fuhao for his sake.
The head of the Spirit Hall was someone he could not afford to offend. That's why he didn't take any further action.

Uncle Hei and Tang San stopped nervously in front of the door, about to knock, when the door opened from the inside.
"Xiao San, you're back so quickly?" Qin Xu asked, somewhat surprised to see Tang San. "Well, how did things go?"
"Everything went smoothly." Tang San had only gone to do some minor tasks when he heard about the whale glue and rushed back. As soon as he returned, he saw a group of people looking for his teacher. They didn't seem to be good people. At this moment, a hint of unease flashed in his eyes: "Teacher, the mixed poison I told you about last time can actually kill a Soul Emperor."
"What?" Uncle Hei looked at Tang San in shock and said, "Impossible, the Soul Emperor can easily isolate poison with his soul power."
Tang San spoke rapidly, "Ordinary poisons can be neutralized, but this mixed poison I concocted using precious herbs, combined with the sheet metal I bought before, has no antidote other than an antidote pill. This poison requires me to use a special technique to push the needle out, so I can't stray too far from the person. By the way, teacher, I have a feeling something's not right..."
Qin Xu said, "No need to rush. I already know the city lord is coming to see me. You actually have such methods. In a moment, you can use whatever you want. Oh, and give me a poisoned needle..."
Tang San didn't ask why, and quickly handed two sticks to Qin Xu.
"How about I go find Harlan and the others?" Blackie said.
"No need." Qin Xu didn't explain, casually said to Uncle Hei, and then led Uncle Hei and Tang San to the main living room.
The other party couldn't do anything to him. He only asked Tang San for a poisoned needle because he was interested in poison.
At the entrance of the mansion, Lord Xiao, dressed in black armor with gold trim, saw Qin Xu as soon as he arrived. He immediately bowed to Qin Xu with a big smile. Judging from his position, he stood slightly to the side to highlight the nobility of the purple-clad youth beside him.
"Brother Qin, today I'd like to introduce you to a very famous and important figure!" Lord Xiao said respectfully to Qin Xu.
Jiang Xinhua didn't speak, but looked Qin Xu up and down, her eyes penetrating to the core as she calmly gazed at the ruins.
Hattori immediately stepped forward and whispered, "Sir, this is a very important figure. If we can get in touch with him, the meat processing plant's development will be unimpeded, and it will even thrive. This is our opportunity!"
Hei Bo, standing nearby, clearly understood the meaning behind Hato's words.
Tang San's eyes turned cold, and he was furious.
How could he not understand the meaning behind that bastard's words?
Qin Xu completely ignored Harlan and instead looked at Jiang Xinhua: "Has your father broken through to the Soul Emperor realm yet?"
Jiang Xinhua's originally calm expression suddenly darkened. The other party directly mentioned his father, which he interpreted as a sign that the other party treated him as a junior.
"I broke through a year ago."
There was a hint of displeasure in his tone.
Qin Xu nodded and said, "You have some talent. What do you want from me?"
City Lord Xiao immediately became anxious and grabbed Qin Xu's hand, saying, "Qin Xu, please be polite."
Harlan quickly gave him a meaningful look.
Hattori was even more annoyed, feeling that Qin Xu was being very tactless.
Jiang Xinhua waved her hand, signaling the two not to be so angry.
"Qin Xu, I've actually heard my father mention you before. He thinks you have a great talent for business. It's such a waste for you to stay in a small place like Notting City! Besides, do you know how dangerous you are? Many people are eyeing you, a fat sheep with money but no power," Jiang Xinhua said, staring at Qin Xu.
"I hope you can contribute to the Spirit Hall of Fasino Province. I will arrange a residence for you, so that you can focus on overseeing the meat processing plant from now on. Notting City is so dangerous and remote, and I've also learned that some people have ill intentions towards you. If you are willing to work for us, I will send someone to ensure your safety. I will also retain a portion of the meat processing plant's profits for you."
His gaze was filled with pressure; this was his purpose: to intimidate Qin Xu with a superior attitude. Qin Xu was certainly insecure at the moment; the more domineering he was, the more likely the other side would make concessions.
"You think you can determine my future based on just one sentence?" Qin Xu asked calmly. He wanted to see where Jiang Xinhua's bottom line was so he could decide how to retaliate in the future.
"I won't take all the profits either. I can decide to give you one-sixth of the profits," Jiang Xinhua said. "Don't think it's too little. With my father's support, the meat processing plant can expand freely and will be much larger than it is now."
"Right now, you're at most only somewhat famous in Notting City. If you follow me, with my father's talent and sufficient resources, you'll definitely become a Title Douluo in the future. Investing now is like sending charcoal in snowy weather. It's much more meaningful than what you're doing now."
"So, while you're still young and this opportunity is rare, why not be ruthless and give up your current comfortable and peaceful life to become my father's follower? The future won't let you down." Jiang Xinhua earnestly advised, "Or, serve my Jiang family for ten years. By then, you probably won't need protection anymore."
A murderous intent surged in Tang San's eyes. These people actually dared to threaten his teacher like this; each of them had a way of courting death.
If Qin Xu hadn't signaled him not to act, he would have killed the man almost immediately.
Qin Xu found it somewhat amusing and did not reply.
"Do you think that because you have money, you can hire experts to protect you?" Jiang Xinhua almost stopped demonstrating: "Some people's influence is beyond your imagination. The person who's targeting you has a powerful background. If you don't find someone stronger to protect you, you're disregarding their safety."
Harlan quickly advised, "Master, why don't we listen to Young Master Jiang? The conditions he offered are quite good."
Sorock pressed further, saying, "If the master doesn't care about my life, then consider this contract a mistake on my part."
"Yes. This is a serious matter. My father can't risk his life for your meat processing plant," Hattori quickly said.
"Then all of you can leave now," Qin Xu said casually, feeling very relaxed.
"Are you planning to hire someone else? Heh, let me tell you..." Hato was about to speak.
"Shut up." Zhao Xinhua paused, stared at Qin Xu, and said seriously, "Besides us, no one else dares to say they'll protect you."
This was a blatant threat. He said, "Notting City is such a remote city, no one knows if there are bandits. I came here to hunt them down. Those bandits are quite terrifying, and there are many of them. No one knows what they might do."
Qin Xu looked at Jiang Xinhua and suddenly said, "The way you treat me is your own idea, isn't it?"
Jiang Xinhua's face stiffened. He had indeed not discussed this matter with his father.
However, he believed that Qin Xu must be a talented person to come up with the idea of setting up a meat processing plant.
In addition, he was short of money and Qin Xu had no power, so he wanted to use his father's and Prince Xue Xing's names to make some money.
In the past, wherever I went, the other party would respectfully offer their sincerity.
"let's go."
Qin Xu didn't bother to look at Jiang Xinhua's increasingly grim expression and left immediately.
Hato was getting anxious and was about to say something when Jiang Xinhua stopped him.
Harlan and Sorock were both a little nervous. They didn't know why Jiang Xinhua had started something but then backed down. But if they had known that Jiang Xinhua's willpower was so weak, that he would have said a few words but then dared not take any action, they would never have followed Jiang Xinhua's lead.
Jiang Xinhua's face was icy, and the other party's indifferent attitude annoyed him.
He stared intently at Qin Xu's retreating figure, his face grim.
"Call Zhaoqing here for me."
Zhaoqing, naturally, refers to that tall and muscular man.

"Teacher, who are they?" Tang San asked angrily. "And those two, they took your money and betrayed you."
"Don't get angry, Xiao San," Qin Xu said. "These people are no ordinary individuals, and they don't really dare to lay a hand on me. From the beginning, they've been trying to intimidate me. Although the poison needles can indeed kill a Soul Emperor, their background is not insignificant, and we can't afford to have anything happen to them here."
Tang San didn't notice anything amiss and said, "Those people went too far! Although there are many of them, Master, I can poison the water. I'm confident I can kill them all."
Qin Xu shook his head and changed the subject, saying, "You'll be sparring with your brother again soon. Are you ready?"
Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Tang San's eyes, and he said, "Although I'm not confident, I'm sure I've made significant progress compared to last time."
"Alright, then postpone your sparring session with him by a week. You should hide during this time." Qin Xu recalled the tall man he had encountered in the Great Sun Forest. The man clearly coveted Tang San, so he naturally wouldn't let his disciple take any risks.
"Oh, right, teacher, there's something else I've been thinking about lately." Tang San seemed to suddenly remember something, wanting to say it but hesitating.
"Speak, mistress," Qin Xu said calmly.
"You mean, Tang San is being so proactive with Xiao Wu, is his purpose to make Xiao Wu... sacrifice herself?" Tang San felt a mix of emotions and inexplicable panic.
He believes.
With his standards, he would never be interested in a little girl like Xiao Wu.
Qin Tao, a gentle and considerate woman, is his ideal type.
And how could Tang San, who is so similar to himself, like Xiao Wu, this heretic?
But for some reason, the book Qin Xu gave him was always missing some key pages.
Although he trusted his teacher completely, he was still very curious.
During this trip, Qin Tao unconsciously mentioned soul beast sacrifice, and he then realized that his teacher had been avoiding letting him know anything related to soul beast sacrifice.
He didn't care at all whether Xiao Wu was dead or alive, but he was worried about the cause of his mother's death.
Could it be... that Mother died because of a sacrifice?
The thought of this possibility made Tang San uneasy.
