Chapter 81 Tang Hao's cleverness backfired!
Upon hearing this, the master remained silent for a moment, his gaze fixed solemnly on the distant horizon that was about to turn white. After a while, he slowly spoke, his voice low and deep:
"I actually knew about this a long time ago."
"What!? You knew all along?" Flander was taken aback, his brows furrowing as he looked at the Grandmaster with a face full of doubt, asking, "What exactly happened at the Spirit Hall?"
The master did not respond immediately. Instead, he looked around to make sure no one was there before taking a half step forward, gently leaning close to Flander's ear, and whispering a few words.
The moment those words left his mouth, Flander's expression changed drastically, as if struck by lightning. His whole body trembled, and his eyes were filled with horror:
"What did you say?! The Spirit Hall...has tracked down Soto City?"
The master nodded, his voice so low it was almost inaudible:
"The mistress's father has already come to see me."
Flander's face was extremely grim, and he cursed under his breath, "Damn it, how did the Spirit Hall suddenly find their way here?"
The master sighed and slowly said, "I suspect there's a problem within our academy. There's a traitor among the students!"
"You mean?" Flander looked up abruptly, his gaze icy.
The master, his gaze sharp as he looked at the gradually rising pale light in the distance, said in a deep voice:
"When Xiao San fought Zhao Wuji, he briefly used the Clear Sky Hammer. There were only a few people present at the time. Who do you think is the most suspicious? Who has been arrogant and unruly since coming to the academy, completely disregarding school rules and us teachers?"
Upon hearing this, Flander frowned, fell into deep thought, and after a moment spoke:
"Xiao Gang, you mean Ning Rongrong? But aren't the three upper sects always closely allied? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Haotian School shouldn't—"
Before he could finish speaking, the master interrupted him, letting out a cold snort:
"Same bloodline, my foot!"
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has coveted the position of the number one sect in the world for many years. Do you really think they would be as close as brothers with the Clear Sky School? Hmph, in the face of real interests, so-called kinship is nothing but a joke."
Upon hearing this, Flander's expression grew even more serious, and he said in a low voice, "In that case, what do we do next?"
"His Majesty Haotian has already taken action to resolve the matter with the Spirit Hall. But this is not the end of the story. The Spirit Hall will definitely send someone else to take over the position of Bishop of Soto City." Grandmaster said slowly, gazing at the quiet streets of Soto City.
"What we need to do now is tell Xiao San and Xiao Wu to stop going to the Spirit Hall to collect any subsidies from today onwards."
Flander nodded and said in a low voice, "That's the only way. Once Tang San's identity is exposed, our Shrek Academy will likely be implicated."
…………
Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.
The vast hall was dimly lit, and the atmosphere was solemn and heavy.
A bishop dressed in a red robe was kneeling respectfully in the center of the hall, his forehead pressed to the ground, reporting something to the figure sitting on the throne in front of him in a trembling voice.
Bibi Dong listened quietly, her expression icy.
Only after the cardinal had completely finished speaking did her face suddenly darken, and she abruptly stood up, shouting angrily:
"What a bunch of useless idiots! After investigating for so long, they haven't found a single useful clue!"
Immediately afterwards, an extremely terrifying surge of soul power suddenly erupted from Bibi Dong's body, sweeping through the entire hall like a surging tide.
The cardinal had no time to react before being struck head-on by the violent soul force.
"ah--"
With a scream, he flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing hard into the solid wall behind him with a dull thud.
The next second, the cardinal crashed to the ground, spitting out blood, his body in a wretched state. He desperately kowtowed to Bibi Dong, begging for mercy, his voice trembling with sobs:
"Your Holiness, have mercy! I am incompetent, please forgive me!"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's gaze sharpened, a red light flashing in her eyes. She slowly descended from her throne, coldly staring at the cardinal slumped on the ground, and said in a chilling voice:
"What use are you all?"
Her tone carried an undisguised murderous intent, causing the temperature inside the hall to drop sharply.
Upon seeing this, the cardinal turned pale and trembled violently, but dared not utter a word of explanation. He could only kowtow and beg for mercy, with blood slowly flowing down his forehead.
Just then, a surge of soul power erupted outside the palace gate.
Two figures appeared instantly in the center of the hall; they were Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
"Your Holiness, please calm your anger." Seeing that Bibi Dong was already intent on killing, Chrysanthemum Douluo knew something was wrong and quickly stepped forward, bowing slightly, and said:
"Your Holiness, this matter... is not entirely without clues."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong frowned slightly and said in a cold voice, "Oh? What clues does Elder Ju have?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo said in a deep voice, "I just received a message that the Spirit Hall in Soto City, under the jurisdiction of the Heaven Dou Empire, was suddenly wiped out a few days ago, with no survivors."
"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression changed drastically, a terrifying light flashing in her eyes. Then, as if realizing something, she continued coldly, "You mean the Spirit Hall of Soto City found out Tang San's whereabouts, but Tang Hao silenced him?"
Yue Guan nodded slowly, his expression grave. "It is indeed possible. The Spirit Hall in Soto City is no ordinary outpost. The bishop there was quite powerful, and with several Soul King-level Soul Masters guarding it, they were slaughtered overnight, leaving not even bones behind. Everyone was smashed to pieces. Besides Tang Hao, who else would dare to be so ruthless towards our Spirit Hall?"
"Besides, other forces have no reason to attack our Spirit Hall!"
Ghost Douluo nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Your Holiness, if it was truly Tang Hao's doing, then it's good news for us. Tang Hao's cleverness has backfired!"
After listening to Chrysanthemum Douluo's report, Bibi Dong frowned slightly, her expression becoming increasingly cold and stern. She slowly raised the scepter in her hand and gently slammed it into the ground, producing a muffled thud.
"If it really was Tang Hao's doing, then Tang San must be near Soto City. However, we can't rule out the possibility that other forces were behind it. Over the years, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have been secretly opposing us quite a bit."
Bibi Dong's tone was icy, and her voice carried a murderous intent.
"Alright, you two, who will go to Soto City to investigate this matter? Once you find any trace of Tang San or Tang Hao, do not act on your own. Report back to me immediately. I will personally lead the team there then." Bibi Dong paused slightly before continuing.
"Your Holiness the Pope, I am superior—"
Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting.
However, before Chrysanthemum Douluo could finish speaking, Ghost Douluo flashed forward, blocking his path, and said in a slightly low voice:
"Chrysanthemum Pass, I'm faster than you, I'll go."
After saying that, Ghost Douluo's body transformed into a pitch-black ghostly shadow and vanished from the spot in an instant.
