Douluo Continent: Who exactly is my father?

"There is already someone in my heart who is irreplaceable." After saying that, Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu on the stage.

Seeing this, Feng Xiaotian cupped his hands in greeting to Tang San, and then, with the help of the crowd, he shakily left the arena.

With that, the knockout stage finally came to an end.

Next up is the grand finals...

However, the journey will likely not be peaceful, as Qian Xunji is not one to give up easily.

Meanwhile, Bo Feng was leading Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and their two children onto a carriage. They planned to head to the Spirit Hall first; if it weren't for Hu Liena's sake, Bibi Dong wouldn't have returned so easily.

She went back only to see her apprentice, nothing more...

With everyone present, Bo Feng drove the carriage and sped off towards the Spirit Hall.

After a long while...

At that moment, Flander arrived, panting heavily. Tang San's identity had been exposed prematurely, which was tantamount to courting death. This trip to the Spirit Hall was bound to be extremely dangerous.

Now, only by seeking out the wind can we turn danger into safety.

However, fate always likes to play tricks on people.

"What! Teacher Bo has already left!" Flander looked at Purple Pearl in shock.

Purple Pearl nodded helplessly and said, "Dean Flander, you're late. The boss just left. Is there something important you need? Why don't you tell him, and I'll tell him when he gets back?"

Flanders sighed inwardly; the matter was urgent. By the time Wavewind returned, it would be too late.

No, Tang San is already dead!

Immediately afterwards, Flander bowed and left...

Watching Flander's departing figure, Purple Pearl scratched her head, then shrugged and walked inside.

Inside the Shrek Academy tent at the Royal Hunting Grounds.

The atmosphere was extremely heavy. Tang San and the others remained silent, indicating that the situation was extremely serious.

"The mistress..." The master hesitated, looking at his disciple's melancholy face.

Tang San sighed and said, "Teacher, I failed to keep this a secret. Grandpa instructed me not to use the Clear Sky Hammer spirit, but now..."

Yes!

The appearance of the Clear Sky Hammer officially signifies... the arrival of Tang San's crisis, a true crisis, the aura of death.

It's too late to do anything now.

Ning Fengzhi, standing to the side, said, "Little San, don't worry. I will go with Uncle Jian on this trip. If the Spirit Hall really takes ruthless measures, we will naturally not let it go. The three upper sects have always been closely linked. If something happens to the Clear Sky Sect, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will not stand idly by."

The master said, "Now, we can only wait patiently for news from Flander. Hopefully, we can find Teacher Bo. If we get Teacher Bo's help, I believe the Spirit Hall will restrain itself in time."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and they could only wait for Flander to return and see what Bofeng had to say.

Time ticked by, and the other academies had all left, but Shrek Academy remained. The Royal Hunting Grounds were the training grounds of the Royal Knights, and their opening was thanks to the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

However, given Shrek Academy's special status and Ning Fengzhi's presence inside, this saved the need for anyone to come in and urge them.

Just then, Flander rushed in, looking displeased and panting. Without a word, he grabbed the water jug ​​from the table and started gulping down water.

After drinking it all down to the bottom, Flander finally let out a deep sigh of relief...

"Oh my god! I'm so thirsty..."

"How is Flander?" the master asked anxiously.

“I’m sorry…” Flander said in a deep voice, “When I went to the department store, Teacher Bo had already left. Even Manager Purple Pearl didn’t know where he went. Now everything is ruined.”

Chapter 139 Crisis Arrives

"..."

"..."

An eerie silence hung in the air; everyone stared at each other in bewilderment. The Grandmaster's heart was filled with complex emotions. At this crucial moment, Bo Feng had vanished without a trace. It was highly likely that the Spirit Hall would ambush them halfway through their journey, which would be disastrous.

For a moment, everyone was undecided...

Two days later, a fully armed carriage, led by the Royal Knights, slowly made its way towards the Spirit Hall. Inside the carriage sat the team heading to the Spirit Hall for the finals, a precaution taken in case of any unforeseen events.

Emperor Xueye specially arranged for 5,000 Royal Knights soldiers to escort Tang San, partly for his safety. It's common knowledge that the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect have a strained relationship; yesterday, Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer was exposed to everyone. With a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament and even reaching the finals, the Spirit Hall will certainly not let this go unpunished.

Meanwhile, in the distant Wuhun City, inside the Papal Palace.

Qian Xunji sat on his throne, gazing at the letter that had arrived in his hand. He was overjoyed, for Tang Hao's son was about to arrive!

He couldn't touch Tang Hao now, but he couldn't forbid touching Tang Hao's son, Tang San. Every time he thought of what happened back then, Qian Xunji felt a surge of indignation and regret. Now, Tang San was about to arrive, and this time, he would make Tang Hao experience the true pain of losing a son!

Immediately, Qian Xunji ordered his men to ambush the carriage on its inevitable route, determined to kill it with a single blow!

Immediately afterwards, Qian Xunji, fully dressed in golden armor and wearing the crown symbolizing his papal status, set off in a grand procession...

That's right, he took matters into his own hands!

Meanwhile, at the gates of Spirit City, Bo Feng drove his carriage slowly into the city. After a long absence, they had returned to Spirit City. Not far away, the Spirit Hall stood majestically, its imposing presence gleaming in the sunlight.

As they traveled, Bo Feng's eyes suddenly narrowed. Beside him, a number of Spirit Hall disciples dressed in black were gathering, and more and more of them were rushing towards the city's outskirts. In the crowd, Bo Feng also spotted something incredibly familiar…

"Chrysanthemum Pass?"

"Ghostly?"

The wind whispered to itself.

The two elders have both come out at the same time; could it be that something important has happened?

"what happened?"

Qian Renxue lifted the carriage curtain and looked at Bo Feng, who had a worried expression, and asked him.

Bo Feng shook his head in confusion and said, "It seems that something big has happened at the Spirit Hall. Just now, many Spirit Hall disciples headed out of the city, including Chrysanthemum Pass and Ghost. Judging from their appearance, the situation seems to be very bad. In fact, they didn't even notice me driving my carriage past them."

"Dong'er, what's going on? Could it be..."

Inside the carriage, Bibi Dong shrugged and said speechlessly, "Don't ask me. I'm no longer a member of the Spirit Hall. If you ask me, I'll just say one word: I don't know!"

"Uh……"

Namikaze: "..."

Asking is pointless...

"Never mind, I'll find out when I go to the Papal Palace to see Qian Xunji." With these questions in mind, Bo Feng continued driving the carriage.

Meanwhile, the caravan, having traveled for two days, was remarkably quiet along the way. Under the protection of the Royal Knights, Shrek Academy and the other academies were still half a day's journey from the Spirit Hall, and they were confident they would arrive safely before sunset.

"Fortunately, there were no problems along the way."

Inside the carriage, Flander breathed a sigh of relief. The journey had been peaceful, and they would arrive at the Spirit Hall before nightfall.

The master's face remained tense, his heart unable to find peace for a long time; the silence was almost excessive. The closer they got to the Spirit Hall, the more somber the feeling became.

Beside him, Liu Erlong looked at the Grandmaster, whose face was full of melancholy, and sighed softly, "Xiao Gang, you've been troubled all the way. We only have half a day left before we arrive safely at the Spirit Hall. What else do you have to worry about?"

The master said, "Erlong, how can I not be annoyed? The Spirit Hall will definitely not let this go. Don't forget that the former Pope Qian Xunji died at the hands of Tang Hao. The current Pope is Qian Daoliu, one of the three peerless Douluo. How can they not avenge such a blood feud?"

As it turns out, the master's concerns were justified, because the greatest crisis in history was about to unfold...

In contrast to the oppressive atmosphere at Shrek Academy, the carriages of the other academies were unusually lively. Many students from the other academies had previously exchanged information with other students and were even trying to find out the final trump cards of their opponents in the finals. Every team that had made it to the finals was a force to be reckoned with.

Inside the Shrek Academy carriage, everyone remained silent, their hearts still pounding with anxiety until they finally arrived at the Spirit Hall.

Tang San sat there blankly, clearly the protagonist of this whole affair. His mind raced, wondering why his grandfather wouldn't let him use the Clear Sky Hammer, why the Spirit Hall was targeting the Clear Sky Sect, and why things had come to this.

Why is the appearance of the miniature Clear Sky Hammer so worrying for the teacher and Uncle Ning? The Spirit Hall? What hatred do they harbor towards the Clear Sky Sect?

Also, what secrets did Grandpa keep hidden and refuse to tell us?

Tang San was overwhelmed with questions and fell into deep thought. Seeing this, Dai Mubai sighed helplessly. The issues between the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect were far-reaching and could not be explained in a short time.

During the past two days, Tang San remained mostly silent, his expression serious as he pondered these questions. No one dared to disturb him, and they could only stare blankly ahead.

The carriage traveled through a valley, the road rugged and dusty, the land desolate and devoid of any sign of life. A strong wind, carrying sand, constantly whipped the faces of the Royal Knights. Those inside the carriage, however, seemed unaffected.

The general leading the way was none other than Roxon from before. Now, clad in platinum armor with a broadsword at his waist, he sat on horseback, solemnly surveying his surroundings. Before coming to the Spirit Hall, Emperor Xue Ye had specifically instructed them to ensure the safety of all the students, as well as the safety of "Tang San"—this was a direct order from His Majesty the Emperor.

Therefore, compared to the guards of other academies, the number of soldiers surrounding Shrek's carriage was several times that of other carriages. And they were all elite soldiers, seasoned veterans, the most outstanding force in the Royal Knights.

Halfway there, suddenly...

"stop!"

Roxon waved his hand, and the entire army behind him halted their advance. They went into full battle preparation, meticulously surveying their surroundings…

Chapter 140 The Fall of the Golden Dragon

"Boom boom boom..."

Suddenly, the entire valley began to rumble, and the ground began to shake violently, as if something had fallen.

Inside the carriage, numerous academy students evacuated immediately. Under the protection of the Royal Knights, they solemnly surveyed their surroundings.

"what--"

"Ahhhh-"

The screams of agony were deafening, and numerous rocks fell from the mountaintop, causing considerable damage to the Royal Knights. Chaos erupted at the scene.

The falling rocks were enormous, isolating the various academies, as if intentionally orchestrated. The battlefield was divided, and the plan was to defeat them one by one.

At this moment, all the soldiers surrounding Shrek's wagon convoy had been killed, their bodies scattered everywhere. Their throats had been fatally struck, killing them all instantly.

Around them, and even above them, numerous masked figures dressed in black silently appeared. They circulated their soul power, numbering at least a hundred. Their gazes were filled with killing intent, fixed on Tang San, the Shrek Academy member, their primary target.

"They've come, just as expected!"

Tang San looked around. All the men in black present were Soul Masters. It seemed the Spirit Hall had gone to great lengths to kill him. They were almost at the Spirit Hall's doorstep, and what appeared to be a desperate ambush was actually quite perilous. This valley had only one path, and both the path forward and the path backward were blocked by rocks.

They were trapped, caught in a dilemma.

What awaits them is true death.

Without a word, the men in black attacked simultaneously, their spirit rings illuminating as hundreds of attacks rained down. Under such an onslaught, few could withstand it until the end.

"Blue Silver Domain!"

"Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Prison!"
