Chapter 323 Bibi Dong is back? A sacrifice?
With a slight frown, Dugu Yan said anxiously, "Are we just going to wait like this? After all, the Heavenly Dou Royal Family is on the same side as the academy now, and what if..."
Before his granddaughter could finish speaking, Dugu Bo raised his hand to stop her.
"Waiting is not inaction."
"Instead, we need to wait for the right opportunity and for changes to occur."
Walking to the window, Dugu Bo looked towards the direction of the Starry Sky Forest, his brows furrowing slightly.
"The most crucial variable is that kid Tang Chuan... but he hasn't come back yet."
"Although this kid's actions are unpredictable, we all know his strength and methods. If he were here, the situation might be very different. Before he left, he said he was going to the far north and his return date was uncertain... But knowing his personality, if he knew that something had happened in Tiandou City, he would definitely rush back as quickly as possible."
At this point, Dugu Bo suddenly turned around and instructed Dugu Yan:
"Pass down the order: the academy is to immediately enter a state of high alert, and no student is allowed to enter or leave at will. Strengthen defenses, especially in the area where Rongrong and the others are. At the same time, send out our most astute scouts, but do not approach the palace. They should only observe from a distance, paying particular attention to any large-scale mobilization of Soul Masters, or... any reaction from the Clear Sky Sect."
"We can send a message to Ning Fengzhi, telling him that Tianxing Academy is aware of the situation, is on full alert, and is trying to contact reinforcements. We must be careful and not take any risks, especially beware of any traps that the Spirit Hall may have set."
"We... need time, and we also need someone with enough ability to break the deadlock."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan, though still somewhat uneasy, understood that her grandfather's considerations were more prudent. In the face of the behemoth that was the Spirit Hall, one wrong step could lead to utter ruin.
"Yes, Grandpa, I'll go arrange it right away." She nodded in agreement and quickly left.
Inside the quiet room, Dugu Bo looked up at the night outside the window again and murmured to himself:
"Tang Chuan, Tang Chuan... you'd better come back soon."
"The storm in Tiandou City is about to turn into a bloodbath... Without your sharp blade, my old bones might not be able to hold the fort."
...............
Meanwhile, in the Crown Prince's residence, in the council hall.
Qian Renxue was sitting alone in the main seat.
At this moment, her fingertips were unconsciously tapping the armrest, her mind racing as she deduced how she would seize power after taking control of the palace, and what the Haotian Sect's next move would be.
The crucial juncture of the plan was fast approaching, and she could not afford to make even the slightest mistake.
"Squeak."
Suddenly, the heavy hall door was pushed open silently, without any announcement or footsteps.
Upon seeing this, Qian Renxue frowned suddenly. She looked up and saw several figures shrouded in wide black robes, their auras deep and mysterious, entering like ghosts.
They moved silently, yet with a suffocating sense of oppression.
Where are the guards? Where are the sentries outside?
No one warned us?!
"Who has trespassed? Who are you...?"
Although Qian Renxue felt a strong sense of unease, she remained outwardly calm, slowly stood up, and spoke in Xue Qinghe's gentle voice, which carried just the right amount of doubt and displeasure.
Upon hearing this, the tall, black-robed man at the head immediately raised his hand and lifted the wide brim of the hat that covered her head and face.
Suddenly, a stunningly beautiful yet pale face, shrouded in an inescapable gloom and majesty, and faintly revealing a sense of weakness from not having fully recovered, appeared.
It was none other than Pope Bibi Dong, who should have been recuperating in Wuhun City!
"It's you?!" Qian Renxue's pupils contracted sharply, her feigned calm shattering instantly. Her naturally cold voice almost escaped her lips, her face filled with disbelief and astonishment. "Why aren't you recuperating in Martial Soul City? What are you doing here?!"
She never expected that Bibi Dong would come in person.
And it was done in such an unannounced way!
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's pale lips curled into a cold, slightly mocking smile. She seemed quite pleased with Qian Renxue's current shock, and slowly took two steps forward, sneering:
"To recover from an injury?"
"Hasn't the Haotian Sect already eagerly emerged from seclusion, practically leaping onto our doorstep? How can I miss such a golden opportunity?"
At this point, her voice suddenly rose, carrying a chilling killing intent.
"I've come here to uproot them completely and wipe them all out!"
The moment he finished speaking, the silent black-robed figures behind Bibi Dong almost simultaneously raised their hands and lifted their black robes!
In an instant, several terrifying auras, incomparably powerful and as deep and vast as the ocean, erupted without reservation behind Bibi Dong!
The air in the hall seemed to freeze; the tables and chairs trembled slightly, and the candlelight flickered.
Next, several faces appeared before Qian Renxue, some aged, some dignified, and some serene. They were none other than the most powerful Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall—the Elders! All of these individuals possessed spirit power levels exceeding level ninety-six, the Super Douluo level.
…………
Meanwhile, in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, a place of great danger.
A streak of crimson light pierced the slightly gloomy sky above the forest, like a firebird returning to its nest, precisely descending towards the deepest part of the forest, an area where even sunlight could hardly penetrate.
A moment later, the light slowly receded, and the Crimson King's massive body landed steadily.
Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier jumped off its back.
"Rui'er, you should go back to the Lake of Life and rest. Senior Di Tian and the others must be getting impatient." Tang Chuan looked at Xiao Rui'er and said gently, "I'll go check on those two 100,000-year-old soul beasts."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruier nodded. She knew that Tang Chuan had a prior agreement with the two forest kings, and this was not the time for conversation. She softly reminded him:
Be careful and come back as soon as possible.
After saying that, she lightly leaped onto an ancient tree next to her, and in a few leaps, her golden figure disappeared into the depths of the dense forest, heading towards the Lake of Life.
Tang Chuan watched her leave, then turned and strode quickly toward the location he remembered. Before long, he arrived at the hidden cave nestled at the foot of the cliff.
At this moment, the cave was filled with a strong smell of medicine and the fishy smell unique to soul beasts.
But more than anything, it evokes a sense of decay and weakness, as if the flame of life is about to be extinguished.
Upon entering the cave, the scene before him immediately made Tang Chuan frown slightly.
The massive body of the Azure Bull Python was coiled deep inside the cave. Large patches of its once smooth and tough azure scales had fallen off, leaving them dull and lifeless, revealing the rotting and blackened flesh beneath. In particular, the wounds on its neck and abdomen, which had been eroded by the deadly venom of the Death Spider King, were still oozing foul-smelling pus and blood, even though the medicine had managed to stop their deterioration.
The Titan Ape was in equally bad shape. It leaned against the rock wall, a gruesome wound on its chest that had almost pierced through it had scabbed over, but its internal organs were clearly severely damaged, and each heavy breath was accompanied by painful blood foam.
Its once-proud crimson fur lost its luster, becoming dry and gray. Its original mountain-like power vanished, leaving only a heavy sense of exhaustion and the weakness of impending death.
In just a few days.
These two once-powerful, hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts are now on the verge of exhaustion.
Upon noticing someone entering, Da Ming and Er Ming almost simultaneously struggled to turn their eyes. When they saw that the person was Tang Chuan, their almost extinguished eyes suddenly burst forth with a final glimmer of light!
"Tang...Tang Chuan!"
"You...are finally...back!"
Erming also struggled to lift his head, echoing in a muffled voice, his tone filled with a sense of relief and anticipation, "My brother and I have been waiting...waiting for you for so long, we...we can't hold on much longer..."
"Rather than wait to die like this, we'd rather offer our last strength... as a sacrifice to you!"
"Take good care of Sister Xiao Wu for us, and also kill Tang San..."
