Chapter 229: This has nothing to do with you, sister!
Inside the Papal Palace in Spirit City.
"Boom—"
A loud crash echoed as Salas's body was flung away like a broken sack, finally slamming heavily against the jewel-encrusted wall.
As he slid down the wall, five bloody finger marks were clearly visible on his cheek.
"What did you say? Tang San was rescued by Tang Hao? And a 100,000-year-old soul beast was mixed in with the participating teams, ultimately sacrificing itself to Tang Chuan? Even the Demon Bear Douluo is missing?"
At this moment, Bibi Dong's chest heaved violently, her nails, painted with henna, dug deeply into her palms, her eyes surging with killing intent, and she coldly said:
"What...what use am I for raising a bunch of trash like you?!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo stepped forward simultaneously, respectfully saying.
Ghost Douluo remained a phantom, while Chrysanthemum Douluo's face appeared somewhat pale; they had also suffered considerable injuries after their battle with Dugu Bo that day.
"Calm down?" Bibi Dong's knuckles turned white as she slammed her scepter heavily on the ground, shouting,
"Elders, tell me how you should calm down? As elders of the Spirit Hall, dignified Title Douluos, you were toyed with by a teenager. And in the end, you even had a 100,000-year-old spirit beast sacrificed before your very eyes! You... you're quite something!"
Hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's expressions changed simultaneously. They sensed a strong killing intent in Bibi Dong's words, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Your Majesty, this defeat was entirely due to the sudden intervention of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the interference of a spirit beast with a cultivation far exceeding 100,000 years!" Chrysanthemum Douluo hurriedly stepped forward, explaining.
"What did you say? There were other 100,000-year-old spirit beasts?" Bibi Dong's face was full of doubt. Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly recounted the appearance of the red-haired strongman and the scene of his transformation into a three-headed Crimson Demon Hound, battling the two Elders, Thousand-Pound and Demon Subduing.
As he narrated, Bibi Dong's eyes gradually glowed with a purple light. When she heard that the soul beast could fight against two elders simultaneously, she finally lost her composure and leaned forward, exclaiming,
"He can actually fight against two elders by himself? Is such a thing even possible?"
Ghost Douluo's phantom flickered beside her, saying, "Your Majesty, everything Yue Guan said is true. This soul beast, whose cultivation far exceeds 100,000 years, is the very one that Old Ghost and I encountered a few years ago when we led the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall to hunt soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain soul rings."
Instantly, the Papal Palace fell into a long, deathly silence.
After a moment, Bibi Dong slowly walked to the window, gazing at the waning moon on the horizon, and murmured to herself, "What secrets are hidden within this Tang Chuan?"
"To be able to have a 100,000-year-old soul beast protecting him, could it be... that he is also a soul beast?"
"No, but he is clearly Tang Hao's son!"
Saying this, Bibi Dong waved her hand somewhat irritably, the killing intent in her eyes diminishing slightly.
"Alright, you can go now."
"We'll discuss the rest with the Grand Elder."
Hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo breathed a sigh of relief. Then, their figures flashed, and they vanished from the spot in an instant.
...…
Shortly after Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and the other Spirit Hall personnel left, the gilded doors of the Pope's Palace were slowly pushed open again. The newcomer was a woman, none other than Qian Renxue, who had changed back into women's clothing and looked dashing.
"Why did you suddenly come back when you weren't with the competition team?" Upon seeing the newcomer, Bibi Dong's sharp gaze remained fixed on Qian Renxue's face, and she asked with some surprise.
Qian Renxue didn't answer directly, but stared coldly at Bibi Dong. After a moment of silence, she finally spoke, "Bibi Dong, didn't I tell you long ago not to touch Tang Chuan? What exactly did you do? Don't you know this will ruin my plan?"
"Plan? Your plan is to play the role of your crown prince in the Heaven Dou Empire!" Anger flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes as she said, "You get back to your team right now."
Qian Renxue didn't leave; instead, she took a step forward, radiating a sharp aura. "My plan is far more than just playing the crown prince! Tang Chuan is also a crucial part of my plan. If you dare to send someone to attack again, I'll resign as crown prince."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong suddenly stood up, slamming her papal scepter heavily on the ground, and shouted,
"Insolence! You dare threaten me for an outsider?"
"An outsider?" Qian Renxue sneered, retorting angrily:
"At least he won't be like you, resorting to any means to achieve his goals. I'll say it one last time: if I find out again that you've sent people to intercept Tang Chuan, I will personally intervene. Then, don't blame me for embarrassing you, the Pope, in front of the elders!"
Hearing this, Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with a chilling light. The next second, a terrifying killing intent, almost tangible, erupted from her body and slammed into Qian Renxue like a heavy hammer.
Under the pressure of Bibi Dong's powerful killing intent, Qian Renxue staggered back several steps before barely regaining her footing. At the same time, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Seeing the blood trickling from Qian Renxue's lips, a complex light flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes. Suddenly, all the killing intent on her body seemed to vanish. She said,
"Go back. I promise you. At least... I won't lay a hand on Tang Chuan before the Soul Master Competition ends. But I hope you remember, he is Tang Hao's son. His father killed your father. There is absolutely no possibility between you and him!"
"That's none of your business, sister!" Qian Renxue replied coldly.
She deliberately drew out the word "sister," making it sound sarcastic.
"Sister? Heh, you're very good!" Hearing this, Bibi Dong paused for a moment, a mocking smile appearing on her lips. She said, "Since you're back, why don't you go see your grandfather? If he also agrees that I won't kill Tang Chuan, then I have no objection."
"Hmph."
With a cold snort, Qian Renxue glanced coldly at Bibi Dong again. Then, she turned and walked towards the door. In the instant she left, she raised her hand and yanked the door shut.
Suddenly, a tremendous roar resounded, instantly separating them into two worlds.
A few minutes later, Bibi Dong seemed to lose all her strength, collapsing into a chair and murmuring, "Xiao Xue, I'm starting to regret sending you to Heaven Dou City."
...…
Meanwhile, the Heaven Dou Empire's participating team continued their journey towards Spirit City.
However, along the way, Xue Qinghe temporarily mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers from surrounding cities for protection, and also summoned a group of Soul Masters from the capital.
A few days later, the Heaven Dou Empire's participating team successfully arrived at Spirit City.
The towering city walls gleamed uniquely in the sunlight, and while the city gates were heavily guarded, they were open to the arriving Soul Master team. The streets were lined with onlookers, curiously observing these young Soul Masters from the Heaven Dou Empire.
