Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 261 Sendoryu's Test

"High Priest, the Papal Palace has been making a lot of moves lately. I suspect that woman is preparing to launch the Soul Hunting Plan she proposed before!"

"Golden Crocodile Douluo said as soon as he entered."

Although Bibi Dong strictly ordered secrecy, such a large-scale personnel movement could only go unnoticed by Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others if they were blind.

The Soul Hunting Plan was a plan that Bibi Dong proposed twenty years ago, but it was abandoned because it was opposed by the Hall of Worship and other elders.

However, everyone remembered Bibi Dong's crazy plan. Now, seeing the Spirit Hall's current situation, Golden Crocodile Douluo immediately thought of the Soul Hunting Plan.

Qian Daoliu nodded, not at all surprised. Rather than saying that Bibi Dong restarted the Soul Hunting Plan, it would be more accurate to say that she had been secretly plotting it ever since she first proposed it twenty years ago, and now she was simply bringing the action into the open.

"A grand offering!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo said with deep concern, "I suspect that Bibi Dong's attack targets are not only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but may also include the Nine Star Palace's branch in Sunset Forest at this time."

"It's not just possible, it's certain!"

Qian Daoliu said calmly, "Bibi Dong chose to launch the Soul Hunting Plan at this time simply because the alliance of the Haotian Sect, the Xingluo Empire, and the Seagod Island is too powerful for her to fight alone. Therefore, she wants to seize power in the Tiandou Empire to strengthen her own strength."

Now that we've broken ties with Bibi Dong, Xiaoxue would never help her. Therefore, her Soul Hunting Plan is not only to eliminate opposition forces within the Heaven Dou Empire, but also to clip Xiaoxue's wings, paving the way for her next step of infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire!

Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression changed drastically, and he immediately said, "Should we send someone to inform Xiaoxue and the Sunset Forest?"

"Need not!"

Qian Daoliu shook his head.

"Great Master, why is this?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo was full of confusion. Although Thousand-Pound Douluo and Demon-Slaying Douluo did not speak, their expressions revealed their bewilderment.

"Because I wanted to test that brat Xiao Yu one more time, and Bibi Dong was the final test I gave him!"

Qian Daoliu's expression remained calm, his handsome face devoid of any emotion: "You all already know about the relationship between that brat Xiao Yu and Xiao Xue, right?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo, Thousand-Pound Douluo, and Demon-Slaying Douluo all nodded. Although their beloved daughter, whom they had carefully nurtured for over twenty years, had been taken by someone else, the person in question was outstanding in both status and strength, far superior to the one favored by a certain pope. Therefore, they wouldn't be as enraged as Qian Xunji and lose their minds.

"Although Xiaoxue and that brat agreed to a fair cooperation, considering that philandering bastard has two women around him, our future cooperation will inevitably be led by the Nine Star Palace!"

At this point, a hint of ferocity finally appeared on Qian Daoliu's calm face, clearly indicating his dissatisfaction with Xiao's private life.

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu mention this matter, the three elders, Jin'e, Qianjun, and Jiangmo, also showed anger on their faces. What kind of status did Qian Renxue have? That kid was still not satisfied with her. If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Yu had a Limit Douluo behind him that they couldn't defeat, they would have already gone to deal with him.

"The Spirit Hall's millennia-long legacy is hard-won; to hand over such a vast foundation to someone else for their own benefit—frankly, I'm not willing to accept it!"

Qian Daoliu let out a deep breath and said, "This is also why I've always indulged Bibi Dong. I want to see just how much potential Xiao Yu really has. Otherwise, does Bibi Dong really think I'm weak and easy to bully?"

"I see!"

The three men, Jin'e and his companions, suddenly realized why Qian Daoliu was indifferent to the fact that Qingluan, Xiongshi, and Guangling, three of the halfway monks, had switched their allegiance to Bibi Dong.

Back then, Golden Crocodile Douluo even advised him to personally kill the traitor. With his level 99 cultivation and the angelic power within the Spirit Hall, even Bibi Dong and several elders working together couldn't stop him. Even killing just one would have a deterrent effect.

"But isn't this test a little too difficult for Xiao Yu?"

After understanding Qian Daoliu's intention, Golden Crocodile Douluo's brows were still furrowed: "I admit that Xiao Yu has extraordinary potential, and there are many experts in the Nine Star Hall. However, Bibi Dong has now mastered most of the power of the Spirit Hall. Even without us, the Spirit Hall's ten thousand years of foundation is not something that the newly established sect, the Nine Star Hall, can shake."

"Don't underestimate the Nine Star Palace's resources!"

Qian Daoliu smiled faintly: "You don't know yet, do you? That kid Xiao Yu has already broken through to the Title Douluo level. With the power of his god-level martial soul, he might not even be a match for the rest of you."

"What?"

The three elders, Jin'e, Qianjun, and Jiangmo, felt their worldviews were being shaken. Although they knew that Xiao Yu would definitely be able to reach the Title Douluo realm, this was just too early.

How old is he this year?

Twenty-three or twenty-four!

Bibi Dong was almost ecstatic when her precious disciple broke through to the Soul Emperor realm before the age of twenty-five. She promoted it in the Spirit Hall to boost her reputation. Compared to Xiao Yu, she was just a pile of dog excrement.

What Qian Daoliu said next still shocked the three elders' worldview: "Xiao Xue has also broken through to the Soul Douluo realm. With that kid's help, she successfully absorbed the soul ring of the Azure Bull Python, the king of the Star Dou Great Forest. I think in a few years, I should pass on my title of Angel Douluo to Xiao Xue."

"So, Grand Elder, you've already accepted in your heart that the Nine Star Hall will eventually be above the Spirit Hall, haven't you?"

After a brief moment of shock, Golden Crocodile Douluo regained his senses and posed this question to Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu slowly nodded: "Because of that brat, Xue'er broke through to the Title Douluo realm without relying on the Angel God Trial. In a way, this kid is my savior!"

Qian Daoliu originally planned to help Qian Renxue quickly break through to level 100, intending to sacrifice his own life, cultivation, and soul during the Ninth Trial, forcibly increasing the compatibility between Qian Renxue and the Angel God with everything he had.

However, now that Qian Renxue's strength has increased rapidly, he can save some effort when he starts the Divine Trial. When starting the Nine Trials, he only needs to sacrifice his life and cultivation to preserve his soul.

When Qian Renxue becomes a god, as long as his soul remains intact, Qian Renxue can resurrect him as a divine servant.

"Therefore, Bibi Dong is less of a test I left for him, and more of a reason to convince myself, to give an account to the ancestors of the Qian family!"
