The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 259 Return to Seagod Island

The Hall of Offerings holds a far higher status within the Spirit Hall than the Papal Hall, simply because high-end combat power is concentrated here.

Qian Daoliu stood with his hands clasped together, making his daily prayers before the angel statue.

"You've come." Qian Daoliu didn't turn around. At his level of cultivation, he no longer needed to rely solely on sight to identify people. He could accurately determine who was nearby simply by observing the faint fluctuations emanating from their bodies.

"I need to summon the Second Elder to Tiandou City." Bibi Dong didn't beat around the bush and directly stated her purpose.

"Now that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has joined the Spirit Hall, I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble because of a small disagreement." Qian Daoliu slowly turned around and looked at Bibi Dong with an indifferent expression.

As the only son of the Qian family, information about Qian Renxue naturally kept coming to his ears.

Qian Daoliu knew that Qian Renxue had been complaining about him for the past two years, but he thought it was just a child's naive idea. For the safety of the Spirit Hall and Qian Renxue, he didn't care about it.

If necessary, he might also try to restrain Qian Renxue because of Bibi Dong and the development of the Spirit Hall.

But that was before. With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School joining the Heaven Dou Empire and the current situation, the power his granddaughter could wield was not weak.

In recent years, his relationship with his granddaughter has become much more distant. If he continues to show favoritism, Qian Daoliu feels that it will be difficult to mend the relationship between him and his granddaughter.

"What do you mean by 'a slight disagreement'?" Bibi Dong frowned at Qian Daoliu. "With Xiaoxue's experience, she'll only become Ning Fengzhi's puppet. Furthermore, the Spirit Hall isn't prepared yet. If Heaven Dou and Star Luo rashly go to war, it will be very detrimental to our future development."

Before Bibi Dong could finish speaking, Qian Daoliu interrupted her, saying, "The situation is already very clear. Even if Tian Dou completely takes over Xingluo, it will still be Xiaoxue's force, and it will not affect the development of the Spirit Hall. Even if Xiaoxue throws a tantrum, she is still a member of the Spirit Hall. This is her home. She will come back when she's had her fill of playing around."

Qian Daoliu's gaze involuntarily turned to Tian Dou, as if he could see Qian Renxue busy across a vast distance: "Bibi Dong, I hope you can consider Xiaoxue's feelings. If this continues, the distance between you and her will only grow further and further."

Although Qian Daoliu's words were sincere, Bibi Dong did not buy them.

"Heh, it seems the Grand Elder has forgotten who turned the Spirit Hall into what it is today? If you really want the Spirit Hall and Xiaoxue to be happy, then you should obediently be a good Grand Elder. Power is something you can't understand."

Bibi Dong exuded a cold aura: "I'm only here today to inform you. If you don't agree, I'll just have to go there myself."

After Bibi Dong finished speaking, she stared intently at Qian Daoliu. Over the years, there had been one thing she had never understood: why hadn't Qian Daoliu killed her when she had devoured Qian Xunji?

However, she was also grateful that Qian Daoliu hadn't made a move back then. Now, her strength was vastly different from before, and even though her strength had been somewhat diminished due to the Divine Trial, she was no longer afraid of Qian Daoliu.

Sensing the chilling aura emanating from Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu's gaze sharpened. As a divine servant, he could naturally sense that the aura emanating from Bibi Dong was not something a Soul Master should possess. Moreover, compared to two years ago, Bibi Dong was now much stronger.

Qian Daoliu lowered his eyes to consider the pros and cons, and suddenly a powerful aura burst forth from his body, far surpassing that of Bibi Dong: "I will send the Second Elder to Tian Dou to take a look, but you don't need to interfere with the specifics of how to proceed."

Bibi Dong felt the pressure coming at her, her eyes flickered, and she snorted coldly before turning away: "Qian Daoliu, I hope you don't make the wrong decision."

Two months have passed since Li Xun left Seagod Island, and his soul power has now reached level seventy-nine. Since Tian Dou is currently in a period of relative calm, he plans to take advantage of this break to return and make some profits.

On Poseidon Mountain, Poseidon, who had sensed Li Xun's arrival on the island, slowly opened her eyes and looked at the Poseidon statue. She knew that she didn't have much time left.

Was all that waiting for ultimately for nothing?

Poseidon had considered killing these outsiders more than once, but out of devotion to the sea god, she put the thought aside.

Brushing aside her thoughts and sensing the strangeness of the forbidden land, Poseidon's figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

"Zhuqing, we don't know when Grandpa Dugu and Li Xun will be back. Why don't we go out and hunt sea spirit beasts?" Ning Rongrong said cheerfully to Zhu Zhuqing.

Since setting sail, she has never encountered a powerful sea spirit beast. Now that Zhu Zhuqing needs to advance her spirit ring to level 60, it is a good opportunity to broaden her horizons.

"Reaching a bottleneck in soul power doesn't mean it won't increase; besides, it's not safe for the three of us to go out to sea." Zhu Zhuqing shook her head slightly, directly rejecting the suggestion.

Dugu Yan, standing beside Ning Rongrong, glanced at her and then said with a smile, "I agree with Zhu Qing's opinion."

As the saying goes, the more an opponent wants to do something, the less you should let them succeed. The two have been fighting openly and covertly for several years, and making things difficult for each other has become a daily routine.

Based on her understanding of Ning Rongrong, she could now guess what the other party was going to say next.

"It's not like you're the one who advanced, so what are you approving of?" Ning Rongrong said angrily, hands on her hips, as if she were a cat with its fur standing on end.

Hmph, just as I thought... Dugu Yan's eyes lit up, and the smile on her lips grew wider and wider.

Compared to herself, this girl's level was too low; she was no match for her at all. If it weren't for the advantage of growing up with Li Xun since childhood, she would have driven Ning Rongrong away.

But like now, it's quite fun to tease him a little from time to time.

However, compared to Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing was the most difficult to deal with. She was completely impervious to reason and always maintained a calm expression. Dugu Yan glanced at Zhu Zhuqing indifferently, then fell into thought.

"I'm rested." Zhu Zhuqing stood up from the ground and walked straight towards the Sea God's Staircase.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Ning Rongrong frowned, then reluctantly got up, pleading, "It's only been a short while! Can't we rest a little longer?"

A hint of helplessness flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes. Having such a diligent person around was simply unbearable, making one feel like slacking off was a crime at all times. Moreover, if they didn't work together, the gap in their cultivation levels would only widen further.

Zhu Zhuqing was naturally aware of the two's little mood, and looked up at the long flight of stairs: "Brother Li Xun is almost at eighty steps."

This short sentence silenced both Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan.

"Look who's back!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

The three women turned around at the sound and saw Li Xun walking on the sea, reaching the shore before the sea spirit beast could react.

"Brother! You're back!" Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, and she quickly ran a few steps to Li Xun's side.

"Didn't my grandfather come with us this time?" Dugu Yan asked, not to be outdone, following behind Ning Rongrong.

Zhu Zhuqing also lost the desire to cultivate, but unlike the other two, she did not rush forward, but instead revealed a smile.

"Grandpa Dugu has stayed at the City Lord's Mansion." Li Xun smiled at Dugu Yan, and then greeted everyone in turn.

"Since everyone's here, there's no need for me to repeat myself."

A clear, cold voice rang out, and Poseidon suddenly descended from the sky.
