Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 260 The Prelude to Operation Soul Hunting (Part 2)

"The Nine Star Palace cannot stand against our Spirit Hall alone. Is it possible that they will join the alliance of the Star Luo Empire, the Clear Sky Sect, and the Seagod Island, these three major powers?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo still looked somewhat worried: "In this way, even if we obtain the Heaven Dou Empire, their power will be greatly enhanced, especially in high-level battles where we might be defeated!"

"Chrysanthemum Pass? No need to worry about that!"

The speaker was Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo's best friend: "The Clear Sky Sect would never unite with the Nine Star Palace."

Why is that?

Chrysanthemum Douluo looked puzzled: "Although Tang Hao's little bastard Tang San didn't have a very pleasant relationship with the Nine Star Palace, and was even beaten up a few times by Xiao Yu at the Soul Master Conference, this small conflict shouldn't be enough to make Tang Xiao disregard the overall situation!"

"This is no small conflict!"

Ghost Douluo shook his head and said, "Tang Hao died at the hands of the Nine Star Palace. Now the two sides are sworn enemies. Given Tang Xiao's love for his younger brother, even if he is at his wit's end, he would never join forces with the Nine Star Palace."

"What?"

Even Bibi Dong couldn't sit still any longer: "Ghost, is this really true?"

"Your Holiness, this matter was spread by the disciples of the Haotian Sect after their resurgence."

Ghost Douluo immediately replied, "Because this matter is of great importance, I am currently sending people to investigate. However, due to the closure of our Martial Soul Temple, main hall, and sub-hall in Star Luo, information transmission is somewhat difficult, and we have not yet received a definite reply."

"However, in my opinion, this matter is most likely true. That little bastard Tang San is now the successor of the Clear Sky Sect, yet Tang Hao has still not appeared. This clearly doesn't make sense. The only reasonable explanation is that he is already dead!"

"That makes sense!"

Bibi Dong nodded, indicating her agreement with Ghost Douluo's opinion.

Tang Hao has always considered himself a sinner of his sect and hates the Spirit Hall to the bone. Now that his sect has chosen to make a comeback, how could he possibly remain calm? If he were still alive, he would probably have rushed to lead the attack on the Spirit Hall in Star Luo City.

"That's wonderful!"

The other Title Douluos sitting around the round table all smiled. The only people in the entire Spirit Hall besides the person involved, Qian Daoliu, and the Golden Crocodile Douluo, who held an equally high position in the Hall of Worship and was even a generation above Qian Daoliu in terms of seniority, knew who the real culprit was in killing Qian Xunji.

Everyone else, including Qingluan Douluo and others, regarded Tang Hao as a sinner who murdered the former Pope. Now that they heard that the sinner had been brought to justice, they all showed knowing smiles.

Bibi Dong, on the other hand, remained relatively calm. After all, Tang Hao was not an enemy but a benefactor to her. She merely snorted and said, "Xiao Yu is ambitious. Judging from his past actions, this kid probably also wants to unify the continent. Even without Tang Hao's involvement, he would never have joined forces with Xingluo and Haotian Sect!"

"Alright, now let's assign you tasks."

Bibi Dong slammed her hand on the table to signal everyone to quiet down, and began to deploy her forces: "Select ten thousand Soul Masters, led by Elders Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Serpent Spear Douluo, and Porcupine Douluo. They must destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

Because of Xiao Yu's butterfly effect, Xiao Wu had no chance to participate in the Soul Master Competition, let alone expose her identity to Bibi Dong and the others.

As in the original story, the two Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, did not go to the Star Dou Great Forest to search for the whereabouts of the Rogue Rabbit. Instead, Bibi Dong arranged for them to join the team that attacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The four elders whose names were called stood up at the same time, bowed, and accepted the order.

"Five offerings, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family is now entrusted to you!"

Bibi Dong looked at the young-looking Fifth Elder, Light Feather Douluo, a sly glint in her eyes: "If the Fifth Elder feels he cannot handle Thunder Douluo alone, I can also dispatch one or two elders to assist him!"

Bibi Dong's provocation was perfectly timed. The Light Feather Douluo's temperament was indeed somewhat childlike; provoked by Bibi Dong, he couldn't sit still any longer and immediately patted his chest, assuring her, "Your Holiness, rest assured, I alone am enough to handle that old dragon!"

"Alright, with the promise of five offerings, I'm relieved!"

Bibi Dong exclaimed "Good!" and then made the final arrangements: "Third Elder and Fourth Elder, you two will lead the four elders—Demon Bear Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, Spirit Kite Douluo, and Mad Rhinoceros Douluo—and five thousand Soul Masters to attack the Nine Star Palace branch in Sunset Forest. You must uproot them completely!"

Bibi Dong was extremely wary of the Nine Star Palace. Even for its branch, she dispatched a luxurious lineup of two level 97 Super Douluo and four level 95 or lower Title Douluo.

According to Bibi Dong's logic, the peerless Douluo who repelled them outside Wuhun City, as the pillar of the sect, should be stationed at the sect's headquarters. Even if there are experts stationed in Sunset Forest, they cannot be too outrageously strong. Six titled Douluos are enough to suppress them.

"Nana, compile a list of all the Heavenly Dou Empire's confidants who have been won over by Qian Renxue over the years, and give it to Salas. He should take action and leave no one alive!"

"Send orders to all Spirit Temples and Main Temples within the Heaven Dou Empire: Operation Soul Hunting will officially begin in one month. Instruct them to maintain strict secrecy, and to assemble their Spirit Masters in Spirit City. All actions must be carried out according to the Papal Palace's orders; there must be no errors. If any mishaps occur, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

. . . . . . . . . .

The Elders' Hall.

Qian Daoliu, dressed in a gray robe, stood quietly in front of the huge six-winged angel sculpture.

"A grand offering!"

Just then, an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in a golden robe and silver embroidery, pushed open the door and entered. He was none other than the Second Worshipper of the Hall of Worship, Golden Crocodile Douluo.

He was the oldest and most senior member of the Spirit Hall, so even Qian Daoliu respected him greatly.

Following behind Golden Crocodile Douluo were two brothers who looked remarkably alike, with white hair and beards, gray-blue eyes, and wearing dark gold armor. They were none other than the Sixth Elder, Thousand-Pound Douluo, and the Seventh Elder, Demon-Slaying Douluo.

These three are currently still loyal to the Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue Angel lineage. They are different from Qingluan Douluo and the other two. Qingluan Douluo, Xiongshi Douluo, and Guangling Douluo were invited to join the Spirit Hall because of their own strength. They started as bishops and gradually improved their cultivation to enter the Hall of Worship.

These three, however, grew up in the Spirit Hall from a young age. Their ancestors were the right-hand men who followed the Angel God in conquering the continent. For generations, their family has taken it upon themselves to serve the successors of the Angel God, and thus they are extremely loyal to the Angel lineage.

Bibi Dong knew that these people, who had been influenced by their family for generations, would never easily betray their beliefs, and she never set her sights on winning them over.
