Jiulong City.
A heavily guarded underground base.
Inside a secret chamber.
Du Hao walked back and forth with his hands behind his back.
"Strange, that guy just let my clone go like that? Last time, he wasn’t so easy to talk to."
He muttered to himself, "Could it be that he’s genuinely afraid, worried that I’d bring people over for revenge again, so he did this?"
It’s not impossible.
Because behind him stands the entire Jiulong City!
And he also knew that this guy most likely lived around Anshan City, perhaps even within Anshan City!
"Hmph!"
Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on his face. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Do you think that by letting my clone go this time, we can just write off our past grudges?
Wishful thinking!
Last time, you killed my kin, and I haven’t avenged that yet. If I let you off so easily, won’t others in Jiulong City think they can mess with my clone too?
"You can only blame yourself for not cherishing the chance I gave you the first time."
Du Hao grinned wickedly, took out his phone, found the pinned number, Xiang Long, the City Lord of Jiulong City.
"I can only ask Brother Xiang to step in. Otherwise, it won’t be so easy to kill that guy."
With a determined look, Du Hao dialed the number.
"Ring, ring, ring..."
The phone gave a busy signal.
"Sorry, the user you are calling is busy. Please try again later."
Du Hao’s face changed at that.
What a coincidence? Could it be that Brother Xiang is in seclusion or out hunting with a team?
These two possibilities are indeed quite significant.
"Let’s try again."
Unwilling to give up, he hung up and dialed again.
The result was the same as before.
After a few more attempts with no difference, Du Hao could only set down his phone, thinking that he could try calling again later or hope that Brother Xiang would return the call after seeing his missed calls.
Hopefully, there won’t be too long of a wait.
Tomorrow is the day the Celestial God Fruit ripens.
To Brother Xiang, a dozen Celestial God Fruits might not be too precious; with some time, he could easily get them. But to Du Hao, they were extremely important.
If he missed the precious time tomorrow and went the day after, it might already be too late.
"It’s all that bastard’s fault. If it weren’t for his interference, I would already know the location of the Celestial God Tree by now."
Thinking about it made Du Hao incredibly angry.
Suddenly, he sensed something and muttered to himself, "The clone is at the door already? The timing seems about right. Just to be safe, I should check if that guy did anything to my clone."
Though he said that, he wasn’t really convinced. Even if the other did something, he’d detect it immediately.
Above, a figure identical to Du Hao walked forward.
"Brother Du!"
"Brother Du!"
The guards greeted him respectfully.
"Hm."
The clone of Du Hao nodded slightly and came to an alloy door, scanned his retina, and checked his fingerprint. Only then did the metal door slowly open.
After repeating this process three times, he finally reached the elevator doors.
Taking the elevator down and passing another check, he eventually arrived at the secret chamber, standing straight in front of the real Du Hao, looking forward with a dazed expression.
Du Hao carefully examined him, touching here and there, finding nothing unusual.
He also opened the Spatial Ring on his clone’s hand and saw nothing unusual inside either.
"Seems like I was overthinking. If he really did something to my clone, how could I not detect it at all?"
Du Hao shook his head with a smile.
He glanced at his phone, seeing that Brother Xiang hadn’t called back yet, probably because he hadn’t checked his phone.
Forget it, rather than waiting anxiously, he might as well do his own things. He might receive the call soon.
"Sit down, meditate, and cultivate."
He spat out a few words.
The clone, as if receiving a command, walked straight to a cushion and sat down, cultivating Spiritual Power.
Du Hao nodded.
With his current strength, the clone he condensed could follow some simple instructions like traveling or fighting, but not independently. He had to split some of his mind to remotely control it.
It’s said that if his strength reached B-level or even A-level, he could not only conjure multiple clones, each with its own thoughts.
However, given his current circumstances, that opportunity would likely never come in his lifetime.
"I should cultivate too."
He sat back down on his cushion, closed his eyes, and meditated.
A minute passed,
Two minutes passed,
Before long, he felt increasingly restless.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t continue meditating.
He couldn’t help but open his eyes, picking up a cup of tea beside him and taking a couple of sips, only to find it empty.
"Clone, brew me a cup of Calming Tea."
He set down the cup and closed his eyes, giving the order.
