Heaven Dou City. Shrek Academy, dean's office.
Flender's brows were tightly creased, Liu Erlong was just standing in front of his desk, looking at him imploringly.
Flender smiled wryly:
"Erlong, there's nothing I can do either. Don't you know Xiao Gang's personality? Your words can't move him, what use am I going to be? You also know that Xiao Gang's greatest dream was to one day obtain the sect's approval. This is also the greatest reason why he always worked with spirit research for so many years. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's massacre, really is too great a blow to Xiao Gang. What he's doing right now is all venting. If you really have him calm down, I'm afraid his heart will be even more tortured, even less able to bear."
The rims of Liu Erlong's eyes were slightly red,
"But, now he's like this, I'm afraid his body will collapse before long. Training those Spirit Masters every day without rest, neglecting sleep and spirit research, even I can only occasionally persuade him to eat a bit and rest a while. If this goes on, he..."
Flender pondered, and said:
"It really won't do. You use the strategy of injuring yourself to gain the enemy's confidence. Perhaps it'll be effective. Oh, right, how's the gathering of your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's outside surviving members going?"
Liu Erlong smiled wryly:
"Only less than a hundred. And they're almost all of the young generation. The strongest are only fiftieth rank. Right now I'm the strongest Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family member."
Flender sighed,
"Spirit Hall really is too vicious. Without warning, moving with the weight of thunder. Most dreadful is that your sect actually didn't receive any news in advance. If my guess is correct, Spirit Hall definitely gathered all participating Spirit Masters in advance to look over them together. Completely sealing the information. Then won by a surprise move. Otherwise, the price they would have had to pay would have been even greater."
A resentful light flashing in her eyes, Liu Erlong tightly clenched her fist, the sound of bones creaking,
"Spirit Hall, fiercely done, Spirit Hall. Bibi Dong. You slut, I definitely won't ever let you live in peace."
Flender said:
"It would be good if little San was here. He was raised by Xiao Gang, if he was here, Xiao Gang's mood might be pacified a bit."
Liu Erlong smiled wryly:
"What use is saying this? It seems I really will have to injure myself to gain the enemy's confidence. I no longer have a family, I can't lose Xiao Gang as well. Flender, what does the Empire say?"
Flender said:
"Just discussed it with the Star Luo Empire's side. With Mubai and Zhuqing helping, and adding the two great empires' common interests, mutual cooperation isn't any difficult matter. But the power Spirit Hall holds right now is too dreadful. Even though they currently still don't dare publicly challenge the empires, the Spirit Masters they hold as well as the military forces of the duchies and kingdoms is already enough to rival the two empires. If war really starts, it'll be disastrous for the whole Continent."
Liu Erlong nodded,
"We're vulnerable right now, especially in terms of Spirit Masters. We basically can't compare to the strength of Spirit Hall. That Xiao Gang is neglecting sleep and forgetting food right now is also just because of this. Unfortunately, if the Clear Sky School was still here, with them to guide us, we wouldn't be so passive either."
Flender's eyes revealed a trace of sorrow,
"I really hope war won't break out. Bibi Dong really is insane. Just what does she want to accomplish?"
...
Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Hong——
Hu Liena's body flew through the air, striking the wall of the official business hall and slowly sliding down. On her gorgeous face was a red bloody hand print. A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong slowly withdrew her right hand, cold light blossoming in her eyes,
"Can't even differentiate between enemies and friends, you're lucky you're the Sacred maiden I chose. Go face the wall in the rear palace, don't come out without my orders."
"Yes, Your Holiness."
Hu Liena's voice was somewhat indistinct due to her injured face, and she clambered up with difficulty. But in her eyes wasn't the slightest bit of bitterness, still a faint blankness. Even though they had already returned to Supreme Pontiff Palace, in her mind still spun Tang San and Xiao Wu looking at each other at the end. She knew that she would never be able to forget any part of the scene that happened there that day.
On returning to Supreme Pontiff Palace, despite the objections of the two Title Douluo and Xie Yue and Yan, Hu Liena had taken the initiative to beg forgiveness from Bibi Dong, resulting in the previous scene.
"Your Holiness, calm down ."
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo bowed simultaneously.
Ghost Douluo was still a vague shadow, and Chrysanthemum Douluo's face appeared very pale. After using the spirit fusion ability that day, their bodies had been seriously injured, and they still hadn't recovered yet.
"Calm down?"
Cold light glittered in Bibi Dong's eyes,
"Elders, how would you have me calm down? Hu Liena made a mistake, and you? As senior elders of Spirit Hall, Title Douluo, you still let a twenty year old kid outsmart you, and still ultimately led to the hundred thousand year spirit beast dying by Sacrifice. Very well done!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's expressions changed simultaneously, from Bibi Dong's words they heard an intense killing intent.
Cold light flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, and under her gaze, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo were already soaked in sweat. With their strength, they were unexpectedly unable raise a trace of resistance.
"Withdraw."
Bibi Dong somewhat twitching waved her hand, the killing intent in her eyes vanishing. According to her character, killing them would be very normal. But she couldn't do so. Spirit Hall had just begun operations, it was time to use people. These two elders were both considered loyal to her, and both were also Title Douluo and members of the Elder Council. Really dealing with them would inevitably influence Spirit Hall's later operations.
The two Title Douluo clearly loosed a breath, hurriedly saluting Bibi Dong for the favor of not blaming them, then quickly left the great hall.
Watching their disappearing backs, Bibi Don'g eyes flashed with austere light,
"Titan Giant Ape, and still that Sky Blue Bull Python creature. Fine, you've destroyed my happy occasion, wait until I have the time and I'll come for your spirit rings."
...
Dressed in plain and simple clothes, holding a little rabbit with sparkling and crystalline fur, Tang San strolled into Heaven Dou City.
Even though his clothes weren't conspicuous, that blue hair and handsome appearance still easily attracted attention.
Tang San walked forward, basically without watching the road, only looking at Xiao Wu in his arms, one hand feeding her a carrot.
Restored to her original form, what Xiao Wu most liked to eat was carrots. Tang San had bought them in bulk and deposited them in the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse.
Even though she no longer had any awareness, as long as he held her fuzzy body, Tang San's heart could calm, at least he wouldn't suffer excessively. The hope for Xiao Wu's resurrection could be said to be an important reason for how he could endure.
Tang San swore that he wouldn't let Xiao Wu be separated from him no matter what. Whether it was when eating or sleeping, in these days after leaving Star Dou Great Forest, he always had Xiao Wu beside him. In the eyes of others, a grown man hugging a little rabbit was very strange. What man would raise a rabbit as a pet? But Tang San didn't hold her as a pet, but as his lover!
On the road from Star Dou Great Forest to Heaven Dou City, Tang San had carefully reflected on his future plans. In order to shake Spirit Hall, first of all he had to increase his strength and influence. Tang San wasn't too interested in influence, but strength was crucial. He wasn't a common Spirit Master, he was from Tang Sect. He possessed Tang Sect's poison and hidden weapons refining methods. Just relying on this was enough to have Spirit Hall greatly lose out.
But right now the hidden weapons he originally refined were already largely used up. Therefore, after returning to Heaven Dou City, he decided to first go find his Teacher for consultation. Afterwards he'd begin closed door bitter cultivation, and at the same time forge more hidden weapons.
Once he had saved a certain amount of strength, he'd begin moving on Spirit Hall.
As for the ten thousand year ninth grade Ginseng King, Tang San wasn't in a hurry. He clearly understood that with his current strength, even if he found it he might not be able to bring it back. He could only wait until he was strong enough and then look for it.
Just as he walked down the street, suddenly, hurried hoof noise came from up ahead. Even though Tang San didn't look at the road, he had his formidable spiritual force as eyes, and he naturally wouldn't collide with anyone while walking, but the ten riders galloping head on already took up the whole road. Dashing, dust flying, the pedestrians walking on the road dispersed in a hurry, in an instant the wide avenue was in a panic like scared chickens and dogs.
