From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 308 Undercurrent
"Huh? Tianmeng, when did you come and what are you two talking about?" Just as Qin Menglan was about to say a few more words, Leng Xiyao pushed the door and walked in.

"Yaoyao, the Spirit Hall is already prepared and is just waiting for us to go over there." Tian Meng quickly got down to business.

"Oh? So fast. Okay, let me change my clothes." Leng Xiyao looked at the suit on the bed and nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, she likes this set very much, but unfortunately its low defense is a fatal flaw. It would be so embarrassing if the clothes were lost during a fight.

But wearing this outfit is undoubtedly the best choice for attending such occasions.

After driving Tian Meng out, Leng Xiyao quickly changed her clothes, then took Qin Menglan's hand, and the two walked out of the yard together.

Qin Menglan was wearing the dress that Leng Xiyao had given her earlier. As a female companion, it was definitely not rude to wear this fairy-like dress to attend the meeting. Walking together with Leng Xiyao, who looked heroic overall, although the two completely different outfits looked a bit inconsistent together, they seemed to be a perfect match. It would not be an exaggeration to describe them as a talented man and a beautiful woman.

The two of them walked all the way to the outside of the Leng family. The door that was originally kicked apart by Leng Xiyao had been replaced with a new one. Seeing the two of them coming, the guards at the door hurriedly opened the door.

Two rows of honor guards from the Spirit Hall stood neatly on both sides of the road, standing meticulously, like road signs.

In front of the honor guard, Yue Guan, dressed in formal attire, was waiting boredly. When he saw Leng Xiyao coming out, he quickly went to greet her:

"Miss Leng, you finally came out. His Holiness the Pope, the High Priest, and all the distinguished guests have arrived and are waiting for you to come to the table~"

In order to express their sincerity, the guard of honor sent by the Spirit Hall this time did not carry any weapons, but instead carried the flag of the Spirit Hall. This level of standard was almost unprecedented in the history of the Spirit Hall. In the decades of history of the Spirit Hall, no one had ever been able to make the Spirit Hall's guards disarm all their weapons and truly treat each other with courtesy.

In addition, the Spirit Hall also specially prepared a carriage pulled by eight auspicious beasts. Generally speaking, this is the treatment only given to the emperor of a country.

Looking at this arrangement, Leng Xiyao couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty, the Pope is really thoughtful."

As she spoke, she pulled Qin Menglan into the car, while Tian Meng and Da Huang followed on the left and right of the car, acting like bodyguards.

Da Huang was holding a seventh-level Poison Blast in his hand. In order to prevent the Spirit Hall from launching a sneak attack and snatching the gem when he relaxed, Leng Xiyao simply processed the gem and stuffed it into the Poison Blast's body. She didn't believe that Qian Daoliu would wait obediently for negotiation.

Normally, the toxins in the poisonous explosion's body are not enough to corrode the packaged gems, but if someone comes to snatch it, the damage caused by the poisonous explosion's self-detonation will instantly blow the gems into pieces. When Leng Xiyao stuffed the gem in in front of Qian Daoliu, and then detonated a seventh-level poisonous explosion in public to show him the power, Qian Daoliu did not dare to act rashly.

For Qian Daoliu, the most urgent task is undoubtedly to ensure that the inheritance can continue. The majesty of the Spirit Hall seems insignificant in the face of this matter. If he can satisfy Leng Xiyao, what does it matter if he loses some face?
"Okay, the real boss has arrived. Everyone, head to the Pope's Palace, move forward!" Seeing Leng Xiyao getting on the car, Yue Guan raised his shrill voice and gave orders to the guard of honor.

Soon, the guards of honor that were originally lined up on both sides of the road quickly gathered together, and more than 200 people formed a square in front of the carriage. The neat and uniform formation made Leng Xiyao nod repeatedly.

The layman watches the excitement, while the expert watches the details. She can still tell whether a team can truly enforce discipline and be well-organized, or whether it is just a fancy name with no substance.

The strength of these ceremonial guards is not very high, they are basically just Soul Masters, and they are wearing heavy armor. It would take several years of practice to achieve this level.

The convoy moved forward slowly all the way, and after leaving Wuhun Mountain, it headed along the main road in the center of Wuhun City towards the direction of the Pope's Palace.

"Eh? Look, whose carriage is that? It's so grand?"

"Shh, who cares who it is? Did you see the person in front of the carriage? That is Elder Yueguan who is beside the Pope. This person must be personally received by His Holiness the Pope. How can you and I guess that?"

“That makes sense.”

"I heard that the Spirit Hall suffered a defeat yesterday, and the entire Elder Hall was defeated."

"real or fake?"

"The formation has been broken, how can it be fake?"

A convoy of this size caused a lot of discussion among the people of Wuhun City, and some conspiracy theorists even speculated that the Wuhun Hall must have encountered a major setback that necessitated such a high-standard reception.

After the battle formation of Spirit City was broken yesterday, this kind of voice became very popular. Even though the Pope's Palace won a great victory in the end, it failed to offset this negative emotion. The abnormal behavior of Spirit Palace at this time further deepened the suspicion of some people.

When these voices reached Yue Guan's ears, he immediately frowned, but he did not take any action. He just calmly memorized the appearance of several people who spread rumors and caused trouble. After this matter was over, it would be time to settle accounts.

As a veteran of two dynasties, Yue Guan is well aware of such matters. The members of Wuhun City who are affiliated with the Wuhun Hall will not believe such remarks at all, let alone spread rumors with so-called inside information. In the current situation, there must be some other forces that are dissatisfied with the Wuhun Hall and are taking advantage of the chaos to create panic, making the people panic and disrupting the stability of Wuhun City.

Although Yue Guan looks like a sissy, he is actually a sissy, but as the "chief eunuch" beside the popes of all generations, he has never been a gentle compromiser, and he has many ways to deal with such situations.

If he fails to catch hundreds of people who spread rumors and cause trouble, he will be unworthy of his shrill voice.

Thinking of this, Yue Guan raised his hand and made a few gestures. Some secret guards in the surrounding buildings received his instructions and immediately took action.
"Juhuaguan, what are you doing? Are you ambushing the swordsmen and axemen? Are you planning to ambush me?" Leng Xiyao, who was looking at the scenery, asked with a strange look on her face when she saw Yueguan suddenly make these gestures.

Hearing Leng Xiyao's question, Yue Guan hurriedly slowed down his pace, came to the side of the carriage, and said with an apologetic smile: "Miss Leng, you are just thinking too much. Everyone knows that you have great connections. Even the chief priest is under your control. The entire Leng family was destroyed by you in one day. How dare I do anything under your nose?"

"They are just some troublemakers. Instead of living their lives properly, they just want to stir up trouble and go against His Holiness the Pope."
