Douluo: Shark Hunting Blade, Lurking in the Dark!

Chapter 157 What is the relationship between Tang Chen and you?

Three days later.

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.

Qian Renxue sat upright on the towering throne, tightly grasping the Pope's scepter, a symbol of supreme power.

Her face was as cold as ice, and there was an unconcealable gloom and coldness between her brows.

"Ghost Leopard, Demon Bear...are they both dead?"

Qian Renxue's voice was low and cold, and every word seemed to carry a bone-chilling chill.

Her eyes were as sharp as a knife, looking straight at Snake Spear Douluo below.

Snake Spear Douluo felt the pressure and couldn't help but lower his head and answered respectfully: "Yes, Your Holiness."

Qian Renxue's fingers tightened slightly, and the Pope's scepter trembled slightly in her hand.

There was a flash of anger in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by calmness.

The Ghost Leopard and the Demon Bear are not only the veteran Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall, but also important fighting forces in her hands.

Their fall was not only a great loss to the Spirit Hall, but also meant that an existence that was powerful enough to threaten the Spirit Hall had appeared in the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire.

"Although there may be winners and losers in battles between Title Douluo, it is by no means easy to kill the other party."

Qian Renxue said coldly, with a hint of doubt in her voice, "Especially Ghost Leopard Douluo, he is a Titled Douluo of the Agility Attack System, and he is extremely fast. Even when facing a strong enemy, he is able to protect himself."

"Who on earth could kill both of them at the same time?"

Snake Spear Douluo replied in a deep voice: "Your Holiness, from the traces left at the battle scene, we analyzed that Ghost Leopard and Demon Bear Douluo seemed to have been killed in an instant, with almost no room for resistance."

"The opponent's strength is extremely terrifying, and judging from the destructive power, he should be a powerful attack-type Titled Douluo."

"A Titled Douluo of the Strong Attack System?"

Qian Renxue frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed across her beautiful face.

Several names flashed through her mind quickly, but she quickly ruled them out one by one.

"Could it be the Haotian Sect?"

She whispered to herself, a hint of uncertainty in her tone.

The Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit of the Clear Sky Sect does possess unparalleled destructive power, enough to kill the ghost leopard and the demon bear in an instant.

However, all of the Titled Douluo of the Haotian Sect are currently in the Xingluo battlefield, including their Sect Master Tang Xiao.

They had no reason or opportunity to appear near the Star Forest.

"Could it be... Tang Chen?"

A cold light suddenly flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes.

The peerless Douluo who was once famous throughout the continent, the man who was hailed as the strongest in the Haotian Sect, suddenly emerged in her mind.

"But hasn't Tang Chen been missing for many years?"

She murmured quietly, but she felt vaguely uneasy.

Snake Spear Douluo saw Qian Renxue lost in thought and cautiously reminded her, "Your Holiness, if it was really Tang Chen who did it, then things would become complicated."

His strength is unfathomable. Even in our Spirit Hall, no one except the Great Priest can be his opponent."

Qian Renxue was silent for a moment, then smiled coldly: "No matter who it is, anyone who dares to touch my Spirit Hall must pay the price."

"Send the order to investigate this matter with all your strength and make sure to find out the identity of the other party. At the same time, strengthen the defense of Wuhun City and don't let anyone take advantage of the opportunity."

"You two go and report this to the chief priest."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope!"

Snake Spear Douluo responded respectfully, then quickly retreated.

Qian Renxue sat alone on the throne, her eyes deep and cold.

Her fingers tapped lightly on the Pope's scepter, making a crisp sound.

She had a feeling that this storm might just be the beginning. "Tang Chen...if it's really you, then let me see how capable you are."

She whispered to herself, with a hint of cold murderous intent in her voice.

The sky outside the temple gradually became gloomy and covered with dark clouds, as if foreshadowing that a storm was about to come.

…………

Poseidon Island, Poseidon Temple.

Lan stood quietly in the hall, looking down at the letter in his hand.

"Tang Chen... the ninety-nineth level peerless Douluo of the Haotian Sect?"

Lan muttered to himself, his brows slightly furrowed.

In the letter, Qian Renxue described in detail Tang Chen's return and the threat he might pose to Lan.

Qian Renxue knew very well that Lan had killed Tang Hao, Tang San and Tang Yuehua, and the Haotian Sect has always been known for protecting its own people. When Tang Chen returned this time, it was very likely that he would regard Lan as a target for revenge.

Qian Renxue reminded Lan in the letter to be careful of Tang Chen's sneak attack.

At this moment, Poseidon, who was beside Lan, suddenly trembled, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

Lan keenly noticed the change in her expression. He turned his head, fixed his eyes on her, and slowly asked, "Could it be that the High Priest knows Tang Chen?"

When Poseidon heard Lan's voice, his expression froze for a moment, then he lowered his head, his tone respectful but with a hint of emotion that was difficult to conceal: "Yes, sir... I used to be with Tang Chen..."

She didn't continue talking, but Lan had guessed something from her expression.

There was nostalgia and a hint of unspeakable bitterness in Poseidon's eyes. It was obvious that she and Tang Chen had an unknown past.

Lan didn't ask any further questions, but just nodded lightly.

Seeing this, Poseidon immediately raised his head and said in a firm tone: "But please rest assured, my lord, Poseidon will be loyal to Poseidon Island for the rest of his life and fulfill the mission of the High Priest of Poseidon Island!"

Lan heard this, his expression remained calm.

He did not doubt Poseidon's loyalty, but he also knew that Poseidon's loyalty was more to Poseidon Island and Poseidon than to himself.

Unlike Lin Luochuan, Yang Hao and others, Poseidon is not his direct descendant, and her position has always been closely linked to Poseidon Island.

"I see."

Lan said calmly, without any emotion in his tone.

He did not intend to interfere too much in Poseidon's private affairs on this matter. As long as she did not affect his plans, he would not pursue it too much.

When Poseidon saw that Lan did not continue to ask questions, she felt a little relieved, but her eyes were still complicated.

She lowered her head and said softly, "Sir, if Tang Chen really comes to Sea God Island, I will personally come forward to negotiate with him."

"No matter what, I won't let him threaten the safety of Poseidon Island."

When Lan heard what Poseidon said, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he had already guessed what she was thinking.

He slowly raised his head, his eyes as cold as ice, staring directly at Poseidon, his voice low and cold: "No need."

"I will personally settle the feud between Haotian Sect and Sea God Island."

There was no fluctuation in Lan's tone, as if he was stating something very ordinary.

His voice was as cold as ice, and it carried an unquestionable majesty. "You only need to fulfill your duties as the Great Priest of Sea God Island. You don't need to interfere in other matters."

This sentence was like a sharp blade, completely crushing the last bit of fantasy in Poseidon's heart.

Her body trembled slightly, she slowly lowered her head and said softly: "Yes... Sir."

Poseidon didn't say anything else. She knew that Lan's decision could not be disobeyed.

She turned around slowly and walked out of the hall with slightly heavy steps.

"Tang Chen, I'm sorry."

The storm is coming and no one can stay out of it.
