A while passed like this, and Chu Tianxiu continued his life. One day he'd train with his junior sister Hu Liena, the next he'd discuss cultivation with Teacher Sasha in class. At night, he'd cultivate…
It could be said that Chu Tianxiu was living a very focused life these past few days, but he was unaware that a conspiracy was brewing against him.
Inside the Douluo Hall of the Spirit Hall, a huge statue of an angel goddess stood silently in the center. A group of Spirit Hall elders, exuding a terrifying aura, stood side by side beneath the angel statue.
However, an old man stood on the steps leading to the angel statue. His long white hair neatly cascaded down to his waist, his cloudy eyes revealing a sharp, sinister light. His white linen robe did not appear ordinary on him; instead, it exuded a sense of holiness.
The terrifying aura emanating from him far surpassed that of the Title Douluos standing below him. This man was none other than Qian Daoliu, the Angel Douluo, one of the three Great Limit Douluos of the present era, who controlled most of the Title Douluos in the Spirit Hall.
Because he had dispatched Serpent Spear and Porcupine Douluos to personally protect his beloved granddaughter, Qian Renxue, only the Second Elder of the Spirit Hall, Golden Crocodile Douluo, the Qian Jun and Demon Subduing brothers, and the four newly promoted Title Douluos, the Four Princes of the King's Banner, were present in the Douluo Hall at this time.
Chrysanthemum and Ghost should have also been present, but they had been won over by Bibi Dong over the years and were essentially now members of the Papal Palace.
Qian Daoliu glanced at his subordinates and said indifferently, "The Holy Son Tournament of my Spirit Hall is about to begin in a month. What are your opinions?"
The second of Wang Qi's four sons, the most hot-tempered, spoke up directly: "Last time, because the young lady was infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire, the position of Holy Maiden was taken by Bibi Dong's disciple named Hu Liena. This time, the Holy Son must belong to our Douluo Hall."
However, Jin E Douluo, who was only one level below Qian Daoliu and already a level 98 Super Douluo, spoke up: "But Bibi Dong's newly taken-in child, Chu Tianxiu, will definitely participate as well." "It's not that I'm trying to boost others' morale while diminishing our own, but just based on his ten-thousand-year first ring, no one in the Spirit Hall of his age can rival him."
Qian Daoliu replied, "If peers aren't enough, then what about those who aren't peers?"
Qian Jun and Jiang Mo stepped forward and asked, "Elder, what do you mean?"
Qian Daoliu looked at the four sons of Wang Qi and said, "I remember you took in two disciples, who are now level 53 Soul Kings, right? This time, let them represent the Douluo Hall in the battle."
The eldest of the four sons of Wang Qi was a little embarrassed: "Elder, those two children are already nineteen years old, far exceeding the selection criteria."
Qian Daoliu interrupted without room for argument, "If I say it's okay, then it's settled."
At this time, Chu Tianxiu had no idea about Qian Daoliu's plan, but even if he did, he wouldn't care. 'Two Soul Kings could be handled.'
However, Chu Tianxiu had already fused with the 60,000-year-old soul bone given to him by Bibi Dong and was communicating with her. Bibi Dong, asked, "Tianxiu, are you confident about this Holy Son Competition?"
Chu Tianxiu replied confidently: "Sister Dong'er, don't you know my talent? I'm determined to get the Holy Son position."
Seeing Chu Tianxiu's domineering confidence, Bibi Dong was somewhat captivated, but she also worried, "I'm mainly worried that Qian Daoliu might secretly sabotage you."
Chu Tianxiu replied nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Sister Dong'er, if those people from the Elder Hall don't behave this time, I'll make them pay."
Seeing that Chu Tianxiu had his own plans, Bibi Dong remained silent.
Little did she know, Chu Tianxiu was already devising a plan that could severely damage the Elder Hall and also lure out Tang Hao—a two-birds-with-one-stone scheme.
After saying goodbye to Bibi Dong, he ran out of the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong watched Chu Tianxiu's figure shrink, a smile spreading across her face as if she were watching her own child.
Just then, two figures flashed by, and the next moment, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo swept into the Spirit Hall.
Seeing their tattered clothes and blood at the corners of their mouths, her smile vanished instantly, and she reverted to her cold, aloof demeanor as the Pope.
She spoke indifferently, "So you did indeed encounter Tang Hao." Indeed, ever since Chu Tianxiu told her about this, she had immediately dispatched Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo to investigate.
Ju Yueguan gave a wry smile: "Your Holiness, we investigated that Holy Soul Village. There is indeed a blacksmith in the village named Tang Hao, who came to Holy Soul Village six years ago. According to the village chief, he was holding an infant at the time. The timing matches up perfectly."
Gui Mei continued, "Then, we went to Notting City to investigate Tang San. Before we even got close, Tang Hao stopped us. If it weren't for the rare treasures Xiao Tianxiu gave us, which improved our strength, we would have been seriously injured."
"However," Gui Mei's tone changed, "we can confirm that Tang Hao's injuries from back then have definitely not fully healed."
Bibi Dong asked curiously, "Are you sure?"
Ju Yueguan replied, "When he fought us, although his momentum was magnificent, we could still sense that he was running out of steam, which is why he was eager to finish the battle quickly."
Bibi Dong waved her hand: "Alright, you two go and recover."
The two bid farewell to Bibi Dong and left the Spirit Hall.
Looking at the once again empty Papal Palace, Bibi Dong muttered to herself, "It seems Tianxiu was right. That Tang San is, without a doubt, the offspring of Tang Hao and that 100,000-year-old soul beast from back then..."
"Everything needs to be planned in advance..."
