Worship Hall!
Gold Crocodile Douluo listened to the words of the Spirit Hall soldier before him and immediately waved his hand to dismiss him...
Then, he stepped toward Qiandaoliu, who was seated cross-legged on the ground, with his eyes shut in meditation...
Before he could speak, the latter took the initiative to say, "What happened?"
Gold Crocodile Douluo replied truthfully, "Great Offeror, according to that Spirit Hall soldier's description, not long ago, the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect intruded into Pope Hall and a certain conflict ensued!"
Qiandaoliu raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Oh? They actually mobilized both Hyper Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. What has Bi Bidong done?"
Generally speaking, the two Hyper Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wouldn't leave the sect together!
Yet now, they both headed to Pope Hall together—one didn't need to think hard to anticipate that the matter was likely not so simple!
Gold Crocodile Douluo continued, "It seems it's unrelated to Bi Bidong. It was Ning Rongrong, the daughter of the Sect Leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, who accidentally trespassed into Pope Hall, causing the misunderstanding!"
Qiandaoliu pondered, "Is that so? It could very likely be an excuse used by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to probe into Pope Hall. After all, that sect has always stood on the side of the royal household!"
"Moreover, I've heard lately that Ning Fengzhi has become Xiao Xue's teacher!"
Gold Crocodile Douluo obviously had also heard of this matter and nodded, "Hmm, what Great Offeror said is very possible. Do we need to keep a close watch on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
The seven major sects on the Continent are basically under the control of the Spirit Hall, except for the Four Lower Sects!
Qiandaoliu dismissed the idea, "No need. If there is any unusual movement from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Xiao Xue will transmit the message at once!"
Gold Crocodile Douluo said no more, "I understand!"
But the very next second, Qiandaoliu seemed to remember something, "Right, have someone deliver those prepared items to Xu Sheng, and don't let the people from Pope Hall notice!"
Gold Crocodile Douluo's eyes widened, "Great Offeror, isn't that inappropriate? Those are the rewards for the champion of the next Continental Advanced Spirit Master Competition. If they're given to Xu Sheng privately, Bi Bidong might not let it go so easily!"
Qiandaoliu sneered dismissively, "Let it go? She is merely a puppet supported by the Worship Hall. Whomever I want to give it to, I will give it to!"
If not for seeing her as Xiao Xue's mother, he would have kicked her off the throne of the Pope long ago!
Gold Crocodile Douluo sighed, "If that's the case, I'll have someone hand over the items to Xu Sheng right away!"
Although giving them to Xu Sheng is somewhat distressing to him!
It's better than giving them to Bi Bidong for her disciples to use...
Wait a second, wasn't Xu Sheng also one of Bi Bidong's disciples...
No matter, following the Great Offeror's instructions won't be wrong!
With that thought, he quickly left...
At this time, Qiandaoliu finally glanced toward Jiang Long Douluo and Qianjun Douluo, who were standing in the corner, and spoke indifferently, "Jiang Long, Qianjun, you've been standing there all this time; if you have something to say, say it quickly!"
Jiang Long Douluo said with an awkward smile, "Well, Great Offeror, we don't really have any business, we just wanted to spar with you!"
Qianjun Douluo also bowed with clasped hands, "Indeed, I feel like I'm on the verge of a breakthrough recently and would greatly appreciate the favor of sparring with Great Offeror!"
Challenging Great Offeror Qiandaoliu was also one of the few pleasures they had while staying at the Worship Hall!
Hearing their words, Qiandaoliu pondered for a few seconds before slowly standing up...
"Very well, since I am free anyway, I will exchange a few moves with you. But I must emphasize one point—don't destroy the Worship Hall again!"
These two fought recklessly and had turned the Worship Hall to ruins multiple times!
Correspondingly, their strengths had rapidly increased as well!
Together, even Gold Crocodile Douluo might not necessarily be their match!
Jiang Long Douluo and Qianjun Douluo's faces lit up with joy, "Thank you, Great Offeror!"
But as soon as their words dropped, they didn't hesitate to release their Martial Souls...
The Soul Rings under their feet lit up instantaneously...
One could vaguely see the huge Coiling Dragon Staff descending from the sky, punching a big hole through the top of the Worship Hall and, after slamming into the ground, the surrounding space trembled...
Seeing this scene, Qiandaoliu's forehead darkened, and he gnashed his teeth and said, "I just told you not to fight in the Worship Hall!!"
It seems, he needed to give them both a serious beating, to make them rein themselves in a bit!
...
Pontiff Palace!!
While Xu Sheng was cultivating, he suddenly sensed several gazes fixed on him...
When he glanced sideways, the Pontiff Palace soldiers simultaneously turned their heads away...
This confirmed his suspicion that there was something off about these soldiers...
He pondered, "These Pontiff Palace soldiers seem to have their eyes on me constantly, could it be that Bi Bidong hasn't given up on surveilling me?"
"Or maybe, after the last confrontation, she's grown even more suspicious of my true intentions!
No, that can't be it!
If she wanted to surveil me, how could she send soldiers who could be so easily discovered!
Perhaps, they intended to catch my attention on purpose!
Thinking this, Xu Sheng stopped cultivating and swiftly got up...
Meanwhile, Hulena and the others, deeply absorbed in their cultivation, didn't notice him...
After taking a deep breath, Xu Sheng's figure vanished in an instant, reappearing behind the soldiers...
He said in an extremely faint voice, "Who exactly are you, and why are you monitoring me!"
As a terrifying pressure spread, the soldiers' minds trembled...
They stammered, "We... we are following the Great Offeror's orders, to deliver something to you!!"
Their tone was filled with respect, as if afraid that a displeased Xu Sheng would strike them down on the spot!!
Even though young, he was still a power at the Title Douluo level!
Xu Sheng asked in surprise, "Something for me from the Great Offeror?"
This was indeed beyond his expectations!
However, the other party's intentions were clear: they wanted to win him over!
The soldier nodded urgently, "Yes... Yes, there are too many eyes in the Pontiff Palace, we... it is not convenient to deliver it to you, so..."
He then disclosed the hiding place of the item...
Xu Sheng pursed his lips, "Give my thanks to the Great Offeror, but such items are of no use to me anymore!"
He had already absorbed a soul bone into his body, and to absorb another, he would have to extract it, likely causing his soul power rank to plummet!
Totally unnecessary!
With that, he retracted his pressure...
The Spirit Hall soldiers felt as though they had been spared from death, gasping for breath...
Then, they replied, "Yes, we will report back to the Great Offeror truthfully!!"
Immediately after, they didn't stay any longer and quickly left the area...
Unknown to them, Evil Moon had already woken up; he looked at Xu Sheng not far away and waved, "Xu Sheng, what are you doing standing there? And why did you suddenly release that pressure!!"
It was indeed the pressure just now that had pulled him out of his cultivation state!
