Chapter 69: Who Doesn't Pit Their Father? Door-to-Door Service? (Please vote, subscribe, reward)
In the living room...
Watching the Goddess of Life disappear, Lan Tian leaned back, almost lying on the floor mat.
"She's finally gone…"
He had already consumed a large amount of condensed Law Power during the battle, and as soon as he returned, the Goddess of Life set her sights on him.
He truly had nothing left.
Moreover, she came to join the fun and helped a lot, so he didn't even have a chance to refuse.
"Father."
Lan Xiu, who had been silent by his side, looked at the exhausted Lan Tian and asked with concern.
His tone carried unease; now that the battle was over, some thoughts and worries made him feel troubled.
"It's nothing, just a bit too much consumption."
As he responded, Lan Tian quickly propped himself up and continued to adjust his state to recover.
Laws, by their very nature, require constant experimentation and use to improve one's mastery over them.
"How are Lan Zheng and the others handling things outside?"
"No other troubles, I hope?"
After getting up, his gaze fell on Xiao Lan, who was sitting not far away.
Although the battle was over, there were still some messes that needed to be cleaned up.
Besides that, there were also some gains, like the Spirit Bones left by several Titled Douluo and various bishops of Spirit Hall.
There were 4 Spirit Bones over 10,000 years old, and even more at the millennium level, totaling eight. It must be said that the drop rate of Spirit Bones from high-level Spirit Masters was not at all inferior to that of high-level Spirit Beasts.
He directly had Lan Zheng and the others distribute these items among his brothers.
It would be best if everyone's combat power could be improved. In Blue Silver City, there weren't many Titled Douluo, but quite a few were just one opportunity away from reaching the Titled Douluo rank.
And a Spirit Bone, one could say, was a great opportunity for a Spirit Master.
"There aren't any troubles. There aren't many troublemakers left now; everyone is very cooperative. It's just that many people have left Blue Silver City."
Xiao Lan, who had been observing the situation in the city, quickly responded.
Some of the people who left were even permanent residents of Blue Silver City.
Clearly, they had concerns.
As for the troublemakers, if the battle that happened today still couldn't make them behave, then they wouldn't be far from death.
"That's normal; after all, Spirit Hall's power is still very frightening."
Lan Tian was quite calm about this; as long as safety was assured, the population would return.
He didn't expect everyone in Blue Silver City to be his own people; as long as they didn't cause trouble, it was fine.
Spirit Hall, by its name alone, could deter many people. If it were that easy to deal with, it wouldn't make the various Spirit Master forces on Douluo Continent so wary.
They attacked the Spirit Hall branch; now many people are waiting to see Spirit Hall retaliate, including the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
They might not want Blue Silver City to disappear just like that, as it could resist Spirit Hall with them.
But they definitely wanted Lan Tian to disappear, as his combat power exceeded the limits of their two Sects.
According to Lan Tian's thinking, if Spirit Hall truly went all out, these two Sects might wait until Lan Tian died before intervening, uniting with the two Empires to resist Spirit Hall, preferably to gain some benefits.
If it were him, he would do the same.
"Does Father have any thoughts?"
Lan Xiu's expression was heavy; he listened with his head bowed at the side.
While Lan Tian was pondering, he asked.
This time, when it came down to it, they were the ones who caused the trouble. Their father hadn't made the decision; they had already flipped the table and attacked Spirit Hall's people.
Calculated this way, they could be considered to have pitted their father.
"Why so many thoughts? When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, cover it with earth."
Feeling the other party's worried look, as if fearing a paternal beating, Lan Tian roughly guessed what he was thinking, as he was his foolish son.
He didn't criticize him; if they acted, they acted. What else could be done?
Just like when he discovered Spirit Hall's actions, his first thought was to eliminate Spirit Hall's people.
Many times, identity determines everything. Good and evil don't matter; since they harbor ill intentions and are confirmed enemies, there's no need to be polite. In the words of Tang Sect, they have found a path to death.
The people of Clear Sky Sect were the same in this regard.
Upon finding their arrival, they sent them on their way.
Unless one couldn't win, this was the simplest way of survival.
There wasn't that much scheming in this World either; ultimately, strength was the hard truth. Perhaps, what he should be considering now was whether he could quickly recover to his peak condition in these few days, and whether he could contend against Qian Daoliu at his peak.
"Don't make that stupid face. If you can beat them, fight; if you can't, run."
"If that doesn't work, find a place to hide until you become a God, then everything will be easy to solve."
He hadn't intended to say much, but turning his head and seeing his unpromising eldest son's expression, as if he had pitted his father, Lan Tian said with annoyance.
Isn't a father meant to be pitted?
On this Continent, did Tang Hao pit his father? Did Tang San pit his father? Did Qian Xunji pit his father? Did Yu Xiaogang pit his father?
A few words brought Lan Xiu back to the familiar feeling of being scolded and beaten. Although he was older now and beaten less, being called stupid and such still happened from time to time.
He was used to it.
Seeing his father still like this, he also calmed down a lot.
"Father's teachings are correct."
His serious, scholarly demeanor made Lan Tian roll his eyes and not say anything more.
Soon, his attention shifted to other matters.
It would likely take some time for the news of Blue Silver City to spread. During this period, he also needed to find a way to improve Blue Silver City's strength, so that even if something happened to him, Blue Silver City would still have a foothold.
And besides the trouble with Spirit Hall, there were also Spirit Beasts.
Coincidentally, Spirit Beasts could also help them improve.
As he was thinking this, Lan Zheng's figure appeared at the living room door with a few flashes.
"Father, Aunt Lan, Eldest Brother."
He glanced around, confirmed the Goddess of Life was not present, and greeted the others.
"Father, we received news that many Spirit Beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest have left the forest and formed a beast tide, heading towards Blue Silver City."
"At this speed, they will reach us tonight or tomorrow."
Then, Lan Zheng relayed the message that had just come back via the communication crystal.
These past few days, those Spirit Beasts had been causing trouble, and they had sent out many teams. Naturally, there were scouts near the Star Dou Great Forest, carrying communication crystals for constant contact.
As long as the communication tower wasn't damaged, they could get news immediately.
Therefore, when a large number of Spirit Beasts left the Star Dou Great Forest, Blue Silver City had already received the intelligence.
These fellows truly chose not to come early or late, but specifically at this time, right?
Tomorrow was precisely when Lan Tian's birthday banquet was to begin.
Although Lan Tian didn't care, it still felt like a slap in the face to his children.
"Oh, these guys are actually delivering themselves to our doorstep?"
Unlike Lan Zheng's thoughts, Lan Tian was a little surprised to hear this and showed a look of joy.
He had originally thought that when the battle in the city spread outside, the 100,000-Year Soul Beast should also know about it.
Perhaps they would even be scared and cower in the Star Dou Great Forest.
So, when he just thought about dealing with Spirit Beasts, he even considered whether to directly enter the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a spirit ring for Lan Zheng.
After all, with the Goddess of Life present, he only needed to bring Lan Xiu to release a little aura.
Even when Bibi Dong entered the Star Dou Great Forest to capture those two 100,000-Year Soul Beasts, Ditian and the others didn't make a move.
Surely, the Goddess of Life's prestige wasn't inferior to the Rakshasa God's, right?
"It seems their feelings are truly profound."
Now that the Spirit Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest were delivering themselves to their doorstep, Lan Tian merely sighed.
They had their own door-to-door service, saving him the trouble of running around.
