Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 214 Hu Liena's Advice

Ghost Douluo thought this would be an easy task. Although Serpent Spear and Porcupine Pig dared not offend Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue, they also dared not fight against him, the titled Douluo who represented the Pope. Otherwise, they would not have reported this matter to the Hall of Worship and forwarded a copy to the Papal Palace.

These two opportunists will most likely remain neutral. As for the substitute, he selected her from within the Spirit Hall because she resembled Xue Qinghe and was sent to the palace to serve as a substitute for Qian Renxue in case of emergencies. However, what tricks could a mere four-ring Soul Master possibly pull off in his hands?

But who could have imagined that as soon as he entered the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, before he even reached the Crown Prince's bedroom, he would encounter a Title Douluo powerhouse he had never heard of before.

That was Egaion, a super Douluo powerhouse with a soul power level of 97, whom Xiao Yu arranged to protect the substitute.

Ghost Douluo was only at level 95 in spirit power, how could he possibly be a match for Egaion? If it weren't for the special nature of his spirit and Egaion's reluctance to cause too much of a commotion and attract the attention of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the royal family's retainers, he would have been able to escape with his life by sheer luck.

"Can you confirm the identity of that Title Douluo?"

Bibi Dong glanced at Ghost Douluo and asked in a deep voice.

Ghost Douluo shook his head: "I have never heard of this person before, but he is extremely powerful. When he fought me, he was not even able to use his martial soul. The only thing I am sure of is that his martial soul should contain extremely strong lightning power."

"You bastard, how dare you say that? A titled Douluo, you can't even understand your own opponent's situation? Did I ask you to come here and boast about how strong your opponent is?!"

Bibi Dong's beautiful face was filled with barely concealed anger. If it weren't for the fact that the Spirit Hall was in dire need of manpower, she would have loved to tear this good-for-nothing in front of her to shreds and offer him as a sacrifice to the Rakshasa God.

"Teacher, please calm down!"

Unlike the original story, Hu Liena is not training in the Lost Canyon at this time, but serving by Bibi Dong's side.

After all, in the original story, the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation lost to Shrek Academy, whose overall strength was far inferior to theirs. Now, the Nine-Star Team that defeated them had an average Soul King combat power, so their loss was only to be expected.

Similarly, because she lost to an opponent whose soul power was far superior to her own, Hu Liena did not have the idea of ​​going to the City of Slaughter for training, and stayed in the Spirit Hall to focus on improving her soul power.

Seeing Bibi Dong's fury, Hu Liena quickly stepped forward to appease her: "Sister Xue'er went out to train with Xiao Yu. The titled Douluo guarding her substitute must be from the Nine Star Palace. The Nine Star Palace's strength is unfathomable. Elder Gui's mistake was just a momentary lapse."

Hu Liena was Bibi Dong's beloved disciple, perhaps even closer to her than her own daughter, Qian Renxue. Even though she lost in the finals of the Martial Soul Competition, Bibi Dong still paid out of her own pocket to give Hu Liena the Enchanting Head Soul Bone, whose quality was no less than that of the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull, for her to absorb.

Under her beloved disciple's gentle reassurance, Bibi Dong's anger subsided temporarily. She waved her hand, signaling Ghost Douluo to step back. If Qian Renxue had seen this, she probably would have wanted to tear Hu Liena to pieces.

After Ghost Douluo left, Bibi Dong continued, "Nana, what do you think about this matter?"

Hu Liena said, "Teacher, I suspect that the Nine Star Palace also has its eye on the Heavenly Dou Empire's million-strong army, and they are very likely using the same plan as us: outlasting Emperor Xue Ye and then installing Xue Qinghe on the throne!"

"This rebellious daughter! Our Spirit Hall's twenty years of planning has all been ruined because of her!"

Bibi Dong slapped her hand angrily and said, "If I'm gone, I'm afraid this rebellious daughter will eventually sell the Spirit Hall to the Nine Star Hall as her dowry!"

Hu Liena remained silent. After all, she was Bibi Dong's biological daughter. Although Bibi Dong always said that she treated her like her own daughter, if she really involved Bibi Dong's biological daughter in her family affairs, even if Bibi Dong didn't care, the highly respected elders in the Hall of Worship would not let her off the hook. There were some things she had to be careful about.

Seeing that Hu Liena remained silent, Bibi Dong understood Hu Liena's concerns and immediately changed the subject, saying, "Nana, given the current situation, should Operation Soul Hunt also include the Nine Star Palace as a target?"

The Soul Hunting Operation was proposed when Bibi Dong first came to power, but at that time Bibi Dong was still relatively weak, so the Elders' Hall forcibly suppressed the plan.

However, Bibi Dong never gave up on this plan. As her most trusted disciple, Hu Liena also knew that Bibi Dong had been secretly promoting and planning the Soul Hunting Operation for several years, and had even participated in improving the plan.

Hu Liena lowered her head and pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Teacher, I think we can include the Nine Star Palace's branch in Sunset Forest as a target in the Soul Hunting Operation. As for the Nine Star Palace's headquarters, I don't think it should be included as a target for the time being."

A hint of admiration flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes: "Tell me your reasons?"

Hu Liena spoke eloquently: "The headquarters of the Nine Star Palace is located in the capital city of the Kingdom of Sylvia, Sylvia. The journey is long and requires crossing most of the Heaven Dou Empire, making it difficult to keep the operation secret. If the Soul Hunting Operation loses its secrecy, not only will the expedition to the Nine Star Palace be in vain, but even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will be on guard."

"The infiltration plan is a crucial step in our control of the million-strong army of Tiandou, and it cannot be lost. Therefore, the Nine Star Palace's branch in Tiandou City must be eliminated. In this way, the Nine Star Palace will find it difficult to do anything in Tiandou City in the short term, and we will have enough time to get the infiltration plan back on track."

"Good, Nana, it seems you're already showing some leadership qualities. I'm very pleased!"

After listening to what Hu Liena said, Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction. As expected of the successor she personally chose, she was much better than that unfilial daughter.

However, if Bibi Dong knew what Hu Liena had done in the original story, she would probably regret it so much that she would gouge out her own eyes.

Meanwhile, in a remote valley outside the distant Holy Soul Village.

The magnificent waterfall, carrying a burst of water vapor, cascades down from the sky, constantly washing over the figure directly below, which spins and wields a small black hammer.

"Not enough, not enough! I need even greater power!"

Within the water curtain, Tang San's eyes were blood red. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand struck the rushing waterfall faster and faster, creating a series of violent roars.

Because of his father's death, he can no longer be at peace, and his thirst for power has now reached a point of madness.
