Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 88: Major Forces Gather

Upon seeing that Bibi Dong had actually come to Heaven Dou City in person, Serpent Spear Douluo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Serpent Spear Douluo hurriedly bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope. I have captured the 100,000-year-old soul beast."

Bibi Dong nodded expressionlessly: "Very good. As the leader of the world, the Spirit Hall naturally has the responsibility to eliminate the threat of the Spirit Beast race."

Immediately afterward, Bibi Dong glanced at Dugu Bo and Sword Douluo, and simply said, "Does the Heaven Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School intend to prevent us from fighting the Soul Beast Clan, or are you colluding with the Soul Beast Clan?"

At this moment, Bibi Dong looked righteous and appeared to be making a contribution to the world of Soul Masters.

Ning Fengzhi, who had been in the crowd, suddenly appeared, flashing to Sword Douluo's side: "Pope, let's not beat around the bush. This 100,000-year-old soul beast isn't so easy for you to catch."

Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with disdain: "Sect Leader Ning, think it through before you speak. Do you really think these two from your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can stop us from maintaining peace in the Soul Master world?"

Faced with Bibi Dong's high-sounding words of righteousness, especially in front of so many people, Ning Fengzhi couldn't bring himself to refute her.

At this moment, Prince Xue Xing suddenly stepped forward: "Your Holiness, we have no intention of disrespecting the Spirit Hall, but now that a 100,000-year-old spirit beast has appeared in our Heaven Dou City, perhaps the spirit beast race has some kind of conspiracy. Please, Your Holiness, allow our Heaven Dou Empire to publicly try this 100,000-year-old spirit beast."

Bibi Dong sneered, "So this is the Heaven Dou Empire. This 100,000-year-old soul beast has been lurking in Heaven Dou City for so long, and you didn't notice it at all. Now you want it? Isn't that going a bit too far?"

Prince Xuexing's eyes lit up, and he immediately came up with a response: "Your Holiness, it is precisely because this 100,000-year-old soul beast has stayed in my Heaven Dou City for quite some time that it may have discovered many of my Heaven Dou City's secrets and may threaten the safety of my Heaven Dou City. Therefore, it would be best to hand it over to our Heaven Dou Empire for trial."

Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow: "If I don't give it to you, do you intend to forcibly seize a 100,000-year-old soul beast?"

Just as Prince Xue Xing was struggling with how to reply, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe stepped forward: "Your Holiness, the continent has been relatively peaceful for the time being. We cannot afford to start a war over a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Moreover, the million-strong army of my Heavenly Dou Empire is not just for show."

"So what if there's a million-strong army? I'd like to see who dares to stop me from taking away a 100,000-year-old soul beast."

After Bibi Dong finished speaking, she glanced directly at the Serpent Spear Douluo.

Serpent Spear Douluo immediately understood Bibi Dong's meaning. He tightened his grip on Xiao Wu's neck with his left hand, ignoring the cold stares of the crowd, completely ready to fight to the death.

Upon seeing this scene, Tang San's eyes widened in fury, as if he wanted to rush forward without regard for anything.

Flander held Tang San down firmly. This was not a place for a child like him to act recklessly, or he might be killed by these Title Douluos.

Just then, a tremendous dragon's roar echoed from the sky, and a tall figure with a full head of white hair instantly appeared on the scene.

This man appeared exceptionally tall and robust, exuding an imposing aura, with arrogance emanating from his eyes and brows. This man was none other than Yu Yuanzhen, the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan.

Yu Yuanzhen said domineeringly, "Wait a minute, Your Holiness, you cannot take this 100,000-year-old soul beast with you. We must jointly investigate it."

Bibi Dong looked at Yu Yuanzhen with a half-smile: "Sect Master Yu, it is said that you have been staying in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan for a long time. Why are you interested in coming out of seclusion this time?"

"I can come out of seclusion whenever I want, Pope, aren't you being a bit too nosy?"

Although Yu Yuanzhen was only level 95, his strength was even greater than that of Sword Douluo. This was mainly due to the power of his Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul and his ability to transform his entire body into a dragon.

Seeing the scene, Yang Ping'an couldn't help but laugh again. Almost everyone there was vying for the 100,000-year-old soul beast, and no one cared who Xiao Wu was related to, or what Xiao Wu herself was thinking. If Tang Hao dared to step forward and snatch Xiao Wu, he would probably become the target of everyone's criticism.

In the original story, Xiao Wu's identity was exposed very suddenly. Before anyone could think of anything, she was taken away, and no one would go looking for trouble with Tang Hao alone.

The situation is completely different now. In order to compete for this 100,000-year-old soul beast, several families have revealed many of their trump cards. The news has been brewing for several days, and everyone's ambition has reached its limit. Even Yu Yuanzhen has not hesitated to come out of seclusion. Asking everyone to give up the 100,000-year-old soul beast now would be like stirring up a hornet's nest.

Especially since the Snake-Haired Douluo was holding Xiao Wu's neck tightly, if anyone dared to make a move rashly, he could simply kill Xiao Wu in advance. A treasure of the level of a 100,000-year soul ring would not be allowed to be absorbed by its enemy.

In the shadows, Tang Hao, dressed in tattered black clothes, hid among the crowd.

Tang Hao is currently alone and doesn't have the vast information resources of other major families, so he has no idea that Xiao Wu has already been exposed.

That's why, in a moment of carelessness, Xiao Wu was captured by Serpent Spear Douluo. Now he has lost all initiative. If he dares to make a move rashly, he might just use Xiao Wu to block his Clear Sky Hammer.

However, seeing Tang San's furious expression, Tang Hao was also filled with pain, but he dared not make any rash moves at this moment.

Although the three sects are said to be closely connected, it seems that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan are determined to get their hands on Xiao Wu. The Heaven Dou Empire also sees Xiao Wu as its own. As long as she dares to show her face, she will be besieged by all sides.

An eerie silence fell over the scene. No one wanted to be the first to make a move against the Spirit Hall, but no one was willing to give up the 100,000-year-old spirit beast.

Crown Prince Xue Qinghe gritted his teeth and broke the silence: "This is Heaven Dou City. High-level Soul Masters are not allowed to fight in Heaven Dou City, otherwise it will cause huge losses. Why don't we all go to the Crown Prince's residence to communicate?"

Bibi Dong stared intently at Xue Qinghe, then suddenly laughed: "This matter is of great importance. Tiandou City is indeed not the place for fighting. Let's go outside the city to resolve this."

Bibi Dong currently has four Title Douluos, making her the strongest among all forces. Moreover, she has already captured a 100,000-year-old soul beast, giving her the upper hand. Even if Yu Yuanzhen, Sword Douluo, and Dugu Bo were to attack her together, she would not be afraid at all. In addition, there is the pufferfish Douluo lurking in the shadows.

Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen exchanged a glance and simply nodded slightly.

Tian Dou City was indeed crowded and chaotic, with many hidden rogue Soul Douluos. The strength of the Spirit Hall was also unpredictable. If a major battle were to break out, they would definitely not gain any advantage.
