"What did you say? You fought with Tang Hao?" Qian Daoliu's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.
Bibi Dong nodded and spoke indifferently, "Yes, I did. After I learned that Tang San might be Tang Hao's son, I personally led an encirclement and suppression. But I didn't expect that old fellow Tang Hao to be hiding in the dark. He suddenly attacked and stopped me, which allowed Tang San to escape successfully."
Qian Daoliu was silent for a moment, his face slightly gloomy. "Then why didn't you continue to lead people to encircle and suppress the father and son? What is the meaning of suddenly coming here to tell me this news?"
Bibi Dong sneered and explained, "Tang San has now escaped to the Blue Tyrant Academy in Heaven Dou City. This place is located in the imperial capital of the Heaven Dou Empire. If I lead people there again, and Tang Hao appears to stop me, the commotion will surely be big, alarming the imperial family and causing them unnecessary vigilance. That might affect Spirit Hall's subsequent plans."
Qian Daoliu frowned upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashing in his golden eyes. "Won't people from the Hall of Worship also attract the attention of the Heaven Dou imperial family?"
"Although the Hall of Worship's actions might also attract the attention of the Heaven Dou imperial family, after all, you, High Priest, have a blood feud with Tang Hao. You made several attempts to hunt him down back then, but unfortunately, he always managed to escape." Bibi Dong's lips curved into a half-smile, her demeanor lazy with a hint of sarcasm, her gaze meaningfully sweeping over Qian Daoliu.
"Alright, I've said enough. I've already told you Tang San's whereabouts; how you deal with it is your business." At this point, she feigned a sigh, then turned without hesitation and walked straight out of the hall with Chrysanthemum Douluo, not showing the slightest bit of reluctance.
After Bibi Dong's figure completely disappeared from sight, Gold Crocodile Douluo immediately let out a cold shout, his aged face slightly twisted with anger.
"This Bibi Dong is simply too presumptuous! Big Brother, she clearly wants to use us to kill someone! We absolutely can't fall into her trap! She just wants us to fight Tang Hao to a mutual defeat, and then she'll reap the benefits!"
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Qian Daoliu's golden eyes, and he said indifferently, "You can see through her little schemes, so do you think I don't know? It's just..."
At this point, his voice paused slightly, and his gaze turned towards the sky outside the hall. "Tang San's Spirit is Blue Silver Grass, and he has Innate full spirit power. Either his Blue Silver Grass has mutated, or he possesses twin spirits. If he truly has twin spirits, allowing a Genius with a blood feud against Spirit Hall to continue growing will inevitably lead to future trouble."
"Big Brother, then what do you mean we should do?" Gold Crocodile Douluo's rough face showed confusion.
After a moment of contemplation, Qian Daoliu turned to look at Gold Crocodile Douluo beside him and said in a deep voice, "Let's observe for a while longer. If Tang San's growth rate is truly too terrifying, then we will have no choice but to act, even if it means being someone else's tool."
"Wouldn't that just let Bibi Dong benefit?" Gold Crocodile Douluo said unwillingly.
Qian Daoliu slowly turned around, his gaze falling on the solemn Angel God statue in front of him, a meaningful curve appearing on his lips as he said, "Don't worry. As long as Xue'er can successfully inherit the Angel God Position in the end, I believe that the ultimate control of Spirit Hall will inevitably return to our Qian family's hands."
He continued, "If Xue'er cannot successfully inherit the Angel God's God Position, then what's wrong with Bibi Dong leading Spirit Hall to unify the continent? You must understand that she has no other descendants besides Xue'er. Even if Xue'er ultimately cannot become a god, after Bibi Dong's hundred years, won't the entire Douluo Continent return to our Qian family's hands anyway?"
"As for Tang San, let's talk about him after the Spirit Master Tournament begins. Tang Hao has always been hidden in the dark; this person's strength is considerable. I chased him several times back then, but he always managed to escape. We can't directly send several Elders to Heaven Dou City to encircle and kill him now. After all, the Heaven Dou imperial family is still there. Once we attract their attention, it might alert them and even affect Xue'er's upcoming plans. So, we can only take one step at a time."
"If Tang San displays extraordinary strength in the tournament, then we will send people to eliminate him on his way to Spirit City! At that time, even if Tang Hao intervenes, and our Hall of Worship becomes Bibi Dong's tool, paying a small price for it, we must completely eradicate him to eliminate future troubles!"
Upon hearing this, Gold Crocodile Douluo's expression trembled slightly, an incredulous look appearing on his rough face. His cloudy eyes stared at Qian Daoliu's calm profile as if he was truly realizing the High Priest's foresight for the first time.
"Big Brother, you are still the most thoughtful. With such a plan, no matter how the situation changes, the ultimate winner will only be your Qian family."
At this moment, Qian Daoliu could not have imagined that after the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament began, the person who would truly display strength far beyond ordinary people was not Tang San, but another Blue Silver Grass Spirit Master! This person also had the surname Tang, and was his granddaughter's… How would he choose then?
Heaven Dou City, Heaven Dou Auction House.
The layout of the auction center here was like a magnificent grand hall, quite similar to the central main Douhun Stage of the Fighting Soul Arena. At the very center was an exquisite circular platform made of smooth obsidian, surrounded by concentric rings of radially arranged seats, extending upwards in layers.
At this moment, an exquisite spirit tool was being displayed on the auction platform. It was a silver ring inlaid with a dark blue gem.
The auctioneer held a golden hammer and shouted loudly, "A storage spirit tool ring, one hundred thousand gold coins! Are there any higher bids?"
Next to each seat, there were special bidding buttons, with four different buttons for one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, and one hundred thousand, representing the price added each time.
Looking at the spirit tool ring on the auction platform, Tang Chuan's heart stirred slightly. He thought to himself, "Rui'er doesn't seem to have a storage spirit tool yet. Should I buy it for her?"
Thinking of this, he directly raised his hand and pressed the bidding button next to Dugu Bo. He directly added ten thousand gold coins, bringing the price to one hundred and eleven thousand gold coins!
Looking at this scene, Dugu Bo's face instantly darkened, and he said angrily, "What are you doing, kid? If you want to buy something, why are you pressing my bidding button?"
"Well, my Medicinal Pill hasn't been auctioned yet, and I don't have any money on me, haha," Tang Chuan replied, spreading his hands and showing an innocent smile.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's face turned as black as stagnant water. His lips moved, daring to be angry but not daring to speak, and in the end, he just swallowed a few times in silence.
Just then, someone else bid, and the price rose to one hundred and twenty thousand.
Seeing this, Tang Chuan didn't hesitate at all and directly pressed the prominent 'add ten thousand' button in front of Dugu Bo, which immediately made the latter's face darken even more.
"Two hundred and twenty thousand gold coins!" The auctioneer's excited voice resounded throughout the hall.
The next second, countless gazes simultaneously turned towards them. Among them were a corpulent old man and an elegant middle-aged man. Although they were all wearing masks, Tang Chuan immediately recognized their identities: Prince Xue Xing and Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
When Prince Xue Xing's gaze fell on Tang Chuan's side, his expression also changed slightly. His cloudy eyes suddenly widened, clearly having recognized Dugu Bo directly.
Just then, Xue Beng, who was beside him, leaned in and whispered, his voice tinged with surprise, "Uncle, look over there... It seems to be Senior Poison Douluo. Why is he here too? It looks like he came with that blue-clothed young man. It's just, why does this person give me such a familiar feeling? I always feel like I've seen him somewhere, but I just can't remember."
