Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 144 Collecting Some Interest from Bibi Dong's Darling

With the attackers gone, the teachers at all the Soul Master academies, especially those who had a vague idea of ​​the attackers' identities, breathed a sigh of relief.

Qian Renxue made full use of the education she had received in the royal family over the years, and methodically directed the Royal Knights to restore order, clean up the battlefield, and clear the roads.

Before long, the Royal Knights regrouped and, under Qian Renxue's command, resumed their journey.

Not long after they resumed their journey, Qian Renxue sent someone to invite Xiao Yu to meet her.

Xiao Yu did not refuse. He also wanted to talk to Qian Renxue again, so he immediately followed the royal guards to Qian Renxue's carriage.

As he walked along, both the Royal Knights guarding him and the Soul Master academies passing by looked at Xiao Yu with reverence.

These people aren't stupid. If those titled Douluos who displayed such great power weren't subordinates of the Nine Star Palace, how could they possibly clash with attackers who were also titled Douluos?

That's a full five Title Douluos!

Moreover, he is a Title Douluo with a ninth spirit ring of 100,000 years. Even the three upper sects cannot produce such a lineup. Just how high has Xiao Yu's status reached? Many female students who consider themselves to be exceptionally beautiful have been frequently throwing flirtatious glances at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu ignored the advances of these vulgar women and went straight to Qian Renxue's carriage.

"Where did Ning Fengzhi go? And what about Xue Ke?"

Xiao Yu could not have come alone. Aiolia and Milo, who were hiding in the shadows, told him before he got into the carriage that only Qian Renxue was inside. Neither Ning Fengzhi nor Sword Douluo, nor Princess Xue Ke, who was sent by Emperor Xueye to fawn over him, were there.

"Xueke was just frightened, so I put her in another carriage to rest."

Qian Renxue replied, "Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo went to Shrek Academy. I think they were probably there to comfort his daughter and also to have another talk with Tang San."

Shrek Academy was also a target of the Spirit Hall's attack. Although most of the firepower was drawn to Xiao Yu, a Platinum Bishop with a spirit power level of around 85 and four Soul Saints still took action to deal with him.

However, this lineup didn't interest Sword Douluo. He'd rather watch Shura unleash a few more sword strikes; perhaps he could gain some insight that way.

Finally, several Soul Saint experts from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School came to Ning Fengzhi's aid. Ning Fengzhi was definitely not traveling alone; there were some trivial matters that couldn't be left to him. Therefore, he was accompanied by several trusted confidants who were at Ning Fengzhi's beck and call.

With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's several Soul Saints, plus Flander and Liu Erlong joining forces, although they couldn't defeat the Spirit Hall's lineup, holding them back and protecting Tang San wouldn't be a problem.

After the five titled Douluo, including Chrysanthemum Demon, were defeated and fled, these people no longer lingered in the fight, abandoned their target Tang San, and escaped.

Although the plot differs slightly from the original work, in general, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School still saved Tang San's life. Ning Fengzhi then took the opportunity to board Shrek Academy's carriage and incited Tang San's hatred for the Spirit Hall, continuing his grand plan for the three upper sects to unite and fight against the Spirit Hall.

"Xiaoxue, since no one's around, stop pretending. It's really awkward for me to talk to you with a man's face."

With Ning Fengzhi absent, Xiao Yu didn't bother to pretend anymore. He casually sat down next to Qian Renxue, his hand wandering in and out to her waist. After all, with Milo and Aiolia outside, the outside world's perception of the inside was blocked.

"Pah! Who are you calling Xiaoxue?!"

Qian Renxue slapped Xiao Yu's groping hand away, and as Xiao Yu had requested, her disguise was removed, revealing her stunningly beautiful face.

Xiao Yu clutched his chest, looking rather hurt: "Xiao Xue, I just barely escaped an attack from your Spirit Hall. You should at least offer me some comfort!"

Mentioning this, Qian Renxue's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "That damned woman dared to disregard the warnings of my Hall of Offerings and openly attack my ally! She really doesn't respect me at all!"

Seeing that Qian Renxue didn't respond to his teasing, Xiao Yu regained his seriousness and said in a deep voice, "In recent years, the Spirit Hall hasn't expanded much; it's been the Pope's Palace that has grown stronger. I'm afraid it does indeed have the strength to challenge your Hall of Offerings. However, that Turtle Douluo was, after all, a Title Douluo. Your Hall of Offerings won't have any objections to our Nine Star Hall killing him like this, will it?"

"That Turtle Douluo only joined the Spirit Hall after that woman became Pope; he was a loyal lackey of the Pope's Palace. His death is no big deal. The five Title Douluos who came today are all her confidants. Even if you kill them all, it has nothing to do with our Hall of Worship!"

Qian Renxue waved her hand dismissively and continued, "Her attack on you was clearly out of fear that the addition of your Nine Star Palace would widen the power gap between our Offering Hall and her Papal Palace. So she didn't hesitate to push your Nine Star Palace into an adversarial position. Does such a selfish woman deserve to be a Pope?"

"That's why I said long ago that your Spirit Hall is riddled with internal conflicts."

Xiao Yu explained, "This is also why I have always been unwilling to have further cooperation with your Spirit Hall."

Qian Renxue slowly nodded: "I didn't quite believe what you said before, but now it seems to be true. That woman is determined to lead the Spirit Hall astray. I think her time as Pope is over."

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "Now that she has grown powerful, it won't be so easy for you to depose her from the position of Pope. The fact that she dared to ignore your Hall of Worship's warnings and attack me is the best proof of that. Although I am reluctant to admit it, she is indeed better than your father or even your grandfather in terms of controlling people's hearts. I suspect that even some of the senior members of your Hall of Worship have already sided with her."

"How is that possible?"

Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she shook her head violently in disbelief, saying, "These few have served the Angel God for nearly a hundred years, how could they possibly turn against that woman!"

Nothing is impossible.

Xiao Yu said calmly, "Go back and ask your grandfather. You've been away from the Spirit Hall for too long. By the way, here's a piece of advice: if you don't want your Spirit Hall's tens of thousands of years of heritage to be destroyed in that woman's hands, you should sever ties with the power of the Hall of Worship and her Papal Palace as soon as possible."

Qian Renxue nodded very seriously and said, "I will verify this with Grandpa when we get back. If what you say is true, I will seriously consider your suggestion!"

Seeing Qian Renxue's increasingly solemn expression, Xiao Yu smiled slightly and said, "Don't keep such a long face. Although we can't do anything to that woman for the time being, I do have a way to let you vent your anger."

Qian Renxue's expression shifted slightly, and she asked, "What method?"

"Of course, we'll collect some interest from that woman's darling!"
