Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 228 Camus Takes on Shui Bing'er as His Apprentice

Ten days later, upon receiving the official notification from Gengxin City, the headquarters of Wuhun City immediately dispatched an investigation team led by a Platinum Bishop to Gengxin City to investigate the destruction of the branch hall, and at the same time began to rebuild the Wuhun branch hall.

Upon arriving in Gengxin City, with the guidance of a helpful person, they quickly found several third-generation disciples of the Haotian Sect who were still recuperating at the inn.

The entire Spirit Hall was enraged. If it weren't for Tang Chen's lingering influence, the Elders' Council would have almost passed Pope Bibi Dong's proposal to send troops to the Clear Sky Sect and completely sever its lineage.

Bibi Dong is only fifty years old, which is still very young compared to the hundred-year-old Title Douluos in the Elder Council. She did not experience that era and does not have much fear of Tang Chen.

But the elders of the Spirit Hall were different from her. In their youth, they had witnessed the birth of the two great spirit masters, Yue and Yue, and they were wary of, or even fearful of, the peerless Douluo who created the legend of the Clear Sky Sect.

Finally, with the intervention of the Hall of Offerings, the Spirit Hall did not send troops to attack the Clear Sky Sect's last refuge, but it issued the most severe warning to the Clear Sky Sect. Even Tang Yuehua, the Master of Yuexuan Pavilion in Tiandou City, was suppressed to some extent.

To say that the Spirit Hall was unaware of Tang Yuehua's identity is utter nonsense.

Tang Yuehua is the only daughter of the previous sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect. How could she not be within the intelligence scope of the Spirit Hall? Moreover, because her mutated spirit can never break through level ten in her lifetime, this is probably more eye-catching than the Clear Sky Sect producing a genius with innate full spirit power.

More than 30 years ago, the relationship between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall could not be said to be very harmonious, but at least they maintained a peaceful coexistence on the surface. Could it be that the Clear Sky Sect foresaw the calamity that would occur more than a decade later and hid Tang Yuehua's existence in advance?

The reason why Tang Yuehua's Yuexuan was able to continue operating in Tiandou City was probably because it had the tacit approval of the Spirit Hall. After all, after the Clear Sky Sect closed its mountain, those hundreds of direct disciples couldn't just dig up grass roots and eat tree bark, could they? They still needed someone to go out and purchase the necessary living supplies.

Tang Yuehua's soul power was weak, and apart from those high-ranking people, few people would associate her with the Clear Sky Sect. This is probably the reason why the Spirit Hall allowed Tang Yuehua to travel outside.

Under the strong coercion of the Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect, which had been eager to make a move, immediately became obedient. There was no other way; if they were not strong enough, they could only act like subservient grandsons!

In an instant, the disciples of the Haotian Sect, who had been looking forward to the sect's comeback, were once again shrouded in an extremely pessimistic shadow.

Even more disappointed than the Clear Sky Sect was Dai Mubai. This time, the Spirit Hall conducted a large-scale investigation into the Clear Sky Sect's affairs, uncovering the truth behind the scenes. All the collusion between the Star Luo Empire and the Clear Sky Sect was thoroughly investigated by the Spirit Hall.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, the two highest-ranking Title Douluos in the Elder Hall, personally visited the Star Luo Empire and held rather "friendly" negotiations with the Grand Elder of the Star Luo Empire, who was also the Star Luo Emperor's uncle, a Title Douluo of level 93. The connection between the Star Luo Empire and the Haotian Sect was almost completely severed.

Once he lost his backer, Dai Mubai's opportunists scattered like monkeys falling from a tree. If it weren't for the fact that the Star Luo Emperor thought the Haotian Sect wouldn't be content with its current situation and would inevitably make a comeback, keeping Dai Mubai around might still be useful in the future, but now it's time to send Dai Mubai to meet his ancestors.

The Spirit Hall also discovered that the Clear Sky Sect was secretly supporting Dai Mubai. They secretly instructed the Spirit Hall Platinum Bishop of Star Luo City to approach the First Prince, Davis, and express their support to him.

However, Davis firmly rejected this offer. The Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect are different. The Clear Sky Sect's development is limited to the Soul Master world and does not affect the interests of the Star Luo Empire. However, the Spirit Hall has become increasingly arrogant in recent years and has shown signs of having the strength to contend with the two great empires.

As the first in line to inherit the Star Luo Empire, Davis had already begun to enter the court and get involved in politics during the years that Dai Mubai left.

While Davis's talent for cultivation might only be considered average, he possessed an exceptionally keen eye for political maneuvering. He was certain that if he dared to have any dealings with the Spirit Hall, his father would no longer consider the rules of succession within the Star Luo royal family and would personally send him to his death.

. . . . . . . . . .

Just as the entire continent was becoming more turbulent due to the Haotian Sect incident, two people arrived at Dragon City, the northernmost city of the Tiandou Empire.

Dragon City is the largest city on the northeastern border of the Heaven Dou Empire. It is only a few hundred miles away from the far north, one of the forbidden zones for humans. Soul Masters can reach the far north in just two hours by flying at full speed. Therefore, the temperature in Dragon City is very low, and it snows all year round, so the entire city is shrouded in white.

"Teacher, the environment here is very suitable for my Ice Phoenix cultivation. I feel that my soul power is circulating at almost twice the speed of usual."

A sweet voice rang out, and the speaker was a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old with long, light blue hair and delicate features. She was none other than Shui Bing'er, the pride of Tianshui Academy, who possessed the top-tier ice-attribute beast spirit, the Ice Phoenix.

The person she called her teacher was none other than Camus, who possessed this ultimate ice martial spirit.

Not long after the Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament ended, Camus found Shui Bing'er and expressed his desire to take her as his disciple.

With a Title Douluo, and one whose martial soul attributes are almost identical to hers, as her teacher, how could Shui Bing'er and her elders, as well as the several high-ranking leaders of Tianshui Academy, possibly refuse?

The master-disciple relationship between Shui Bing'er and Camus also established a good relationship between the Nine Star Palace and Tianshui Academy, which brought Xiao Yu's plan to win over the Five Elements Academy one step further.

Among the five elemental academies, Thunder Academy is secretly supported by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, while Elephant Armor Sect openly supports Elephant Armor Academy. These two academies have virtually no chance of recruiting students.

Because of the relationship between Xiao Yu and Huo Wu, Blazing Fire Academy is basically guaranteed to succeed.

Tianshui Academy can now use the master-disciple relationship between Camus and Sui Bing'er as a bridge to gradually win over the Nine Star Palace in the future.

At Shenfeng Academy, after Feng Xiaotian's duel with Xiao Yu in the Advanced Soul Master Competition, he gave up pursuing Huo Wu, and his relationship with Xiao Yu wasn't too bad.

However, Xiao Yu is only trying to maintain a good relationship with the other party. The other party's academy is running well now, so why should it be merged into the Nine Star Palace?

Therefore, Xiao Yu was also looking forward to Bibi Dong's Soul Hunting Plan. When that time came, the Five Elements Academy would also be impacted to varying degrees. In order to protect itself, it would naturally accept the olive branch of the Nine Star Palace, just like it was merged into Shrek Academy in the original work.
