Chapter 249 Will You Join Spirit Hall?
Spirit City.
The bright sunshine shone down on the earth, and under its rays, the towering Papal Palace appeared even more magnificent.
In front of the Papal Palace, two rows of paladin knights stood from the entrance to the foot of the mountain, their bright silver armor and heavy swords exuding an air of majesty and solemnity!
Early in the morning, the teams that had come to Spirit City to participate in the competition were already lined up neatly in front of the Papal Palace, waiting quietly.
The three teams standing at the front were the three that had made it to the final three: the Heaven Dou Team, the Spirit Hall Team, and the Kamikaze Team!
Led by Dugu Yan, the Heaven Dou team—including Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Ye Lingling, Yu Feng, Oslo, and the Shi brothers—all appeared extremely relaxed and at ease!
After all, the strength their team displayed in both matches ranked first, whether compared to the Spirit Hall team or other teams!
Of all the teams, only the Spirit Hall team, which had three Soul Kings, could rival them.
The Spirit Hall team and the Kamikaze team were different. Whether it was Yan, Xie Yue, Hu Liena, or Feng Xiaotian of the Kamikaze team, their expressions were extremely solemn, and their eyes would occasionally glance at the Heaven Dou team.
Feng Xiaotian said he didn't care about the championship, but when it really came down to it, who could really not care?
Three ancient soul bones!
That was a treasure that even Titled Douluo would covet!
Hu Liena looked at Dugu Yan, who seemed relaxed and chatting with her teammates, and gritted her teeth, vowing in her heart that she absolutely could not lose this match!
These three soul bones were obtained by their teacher after countless hours and efforts! They were all extremely well-suited to them!
She could not, and absolutely would not, allow another team to take them!
Behind her, Zhu Zhuyun from the Star Luo team did not come to watch the ceremony after recovering from her injuries. She didn't want to see her good younger sister display her prowess! Her pride couldn't bear it!
Dai Weisi, the leader, stared at Zhu Zhuqing in the Heaven Dou team with a gloomy gaze, his heart filled with deep resentment. Soul King! Why did she become a Soul King at such a young age? The situation had been so promising… Sigh!
He thought of the letter he had sent back to Star Luo and the people he was preparing to send to Heaven Dou. He only hoped that his plan would succeed!
He didn't want to die!
In the Heaven Dou team, Ye Lingling asked curiously, "Sister Yan Yan, when is your grandfather coming to Spirit City? Didn't you say he would arrive in the next couple of days?"
"Who knows? Maybe something happened on the way and they were delayed."
Dugu Yan didn't care. Let him come or not—it didn't matter! Anyway, Sister Xue wasn't coming, so let that old geezer do whatever he wanted!
The championship battle was approaching, and there wasn't a single piece of news. She really didn't know what they were up to!
If she remembered correctly, her grandfather had been quite idle ever since the Clear Sky Sect was destroyed!
Just as the group was talking, a group of people walked out from the side door of the Papal Palace. A total of twelve bishops came out.
They walked all the way to the entrance of the Papal Palace and stood on either side, six people on each side.
The leader announced loudly, "His Holiness the Pope has arrived."
"Long live! Long live! Long live!" The three shouts echoed throughout the entire Spirit City like a landslide and a tsunami.
This sound was not only from the knights but also from the shouts of thousands of spirit masters of Spirit City, all gathered together!
Their voices contained their faith, their devotion to the Pope, to Spirit Hall, and to the Angel God!
"What a grand display," Dugu Yan muttered to herself, without saying it aloud. She was well aware of her situation.
The massive palace doors slowly opened, and amidst the respectful greeting of knights on both sides, a stunningly beautiful woman with flawless skin, an elegant and noble demeanor, and captivating beauty appeared before everyone!
Wearing a long, shimmering gold gown from head to toe, a purple-gold crown, and holding a scepter, Bibi Dong, with a solemn expression, was the first to emerge from the Papal Palace.
She had an ethereal quality, seemingly infinitely tall! A figure meant to be revered by all!
The two rows of knights, filled with fanaticism, bowed their heads even lower and shouted:
"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope!"
Driven by this atmosphere, and amidst the shouts coming from all directions, all the participating spirit masters felt a sense of reverence and worship!
After Bibi Dong came out, four more people walked out of the main gate behind her. Mighty Lion Douluo and Glowing Feather Douluo looked indifferent. Although they were very unhappy with Bibi Dong, they still had to save face for her in this situation. After all, Bibi Dong was the Pope of Spirit Hall.
The other two were Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who looked at the two priests on the other side with complicated expressions.
Two priests actually participated in this mere Soul Master Competition!
No, was it really necessary?
The Pope couldn't possibly rig this competition!
If they won the battle against Heaven Dou, the soul bones would definitely go to Dugu Yan and the others!
Was it really necessary to distrust people so much?
Looking up at the five people above, the spirit master students who had come to participate in the competition had already knelt down respectfully!
Only a handful of people remained standing: Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Dai Weisi.
Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Xiao Wu all belonged to Qian Renxue's faction, and there was no way they would kneel before Bibi Dong!
Dai Weisi, however, was not unwilling to kneel because of his status; it was his status that prevented him from doing so!
The same applied to Zhu Zhuqing. Although she didn't know Qian Renxue, her status also prevented her from kneeling!
"Grandpa Lion!"
Dugu Yan looked at the familiar person beside Bibi Dong, a hint of surprise appearing in her eyes. He really came!
Hehe! From now on, she wasn't afraid of anything!
A cardinal, seeing so many people refusing to kneel, was instantly enraged. Just as he was about to shout a reprimand, a friend immediately grabbed his sleeve and whispered:
"Shut up! Don't say a word!"
Damn it! What do you think you're doing?
Of all the people standing below, besides Dai Weisi, who are you allowed to criticize?
The cardinal looked at his friend with a puzzled expression. What was going on?
What the hell?! What kind of look is that? Are you a pig?
His friend cursed inwardly. "Don't you know that Heaven Dou is the young master's team?"
However, Bibi Dong didn't notice these subtle movements. Her gaze softened as she looked down, scanning the area before finally settling on Dugu Yan's face. She spoke gently:
"You must be Dugu Bo's granddaughter?"
"Yes."
"Are you interested in joining Spirit Hall?"
"?"
Dugu Yan raised her head, looking at Bibi Dong with surprise and uncertainty. "What are you talking about? Are you interested in joining Spirit Hall?"
"No!" she said decisively.
"What a pity."
Bibi Dong's tone was filled with deep regret, and her expression was just as genuine!
It seemed she genuinely regretted that Spirit Hall couldn't recruit such a talented individual!
