Chapter 233 Bibi Dong's Schemes
Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian had returned to the core area of the Lake of Life and arrived before the Silver Dragon King.
Di Tian addressed the Silver Dragon King with utmost respect: "My lord, the matter has been settled. I have rescued Tang San and Tang Hao and their group, and they have now returned to the Clear Sky Sect."
The Silver Dragon King didn't even open his eyes, but simply nodded slightly at his massive dragon head: "Very good, proceed according to plan from now on."
However, Di Tian seemed a little puzzled and asked, "My lord, since you value Tang San so much, why not bring him directly to the Star Dou Great Forest to train him? This would make it much easier for him to improve his strength and acquire spirit rings."
The Silver Dragon King suddenly opened his enormous dragon eyes: "Di Tian, becoming a god is not that simple. It requires the inheritance of a divine position and the approval of the gods in the divine realm. If our soul beast race interferes too much, it may arouse the fear of the gods in the divine realm."
"Besides, Tang San is a chosen one with unparalleled talent. Even if his luck has decreased slightly now, with his talent, he should be able to quickly improve his strength. At that time, we just need to secretly give him some help."
"That little rabbit can be placed by Tang San's side now. If this little rabbit is away for too long and Tang San has another woman by his side, then we will have failed. The fate that follows will guide the two of them on the path to godhood, and this little rabbit is also crucial."
Di Tian bowed respectfully, then left the void alone, clearly to arrange things for Xiao Wu.
In the Papal Palace of Wuhun City, the entire palace seemed very solemn, and everyone was very quiet. In addition to Pope Bibi Dong and several elders, the seven Grand Masters also participated in this meeting.
Pope Bibi Dong sat on the throne, with seven seats beside her, occupied by the seven high priests of the Spirit Hall. The seat of the Grand Priest, Qian Daoliu, was very close to Pope Bibi Dong, the two seats seemingly side by side. However, Qian Daoliu seemed to keep his eyes closed the whole time, listening silently.
After Ghost Douluo returned to the Spirit Hall, he immediately reported the situation of the battle at Tianxing Academy to Pope Bibi Dong, especially Yang Podi's combat strength and spirit ring configuration, which made Bibi Dong's face turn gloomy.
After much deliberation, Bibi Dong finally decided to invite Qian Daoliu and the seven elders to participate in this meeting. In particular, Bibi Dong declared that this meeting would determine the life or death of the Spirit Hall.
This meeting basically brought together all of the Spirit Hall's high-end strength. It should be noted that the Hall of Offerings has never participated in the meetings of the Papal Palace. The last two meetings of this scale were held more than ten years ago during the Clear Sky Sect War and the Soul Hunting Operation.
Ghost Douluo described in detail what he saw and heard at Tianxing Academy, especially focusing on the battle between the brothers Yang Podi and Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.
Through Ghost Douluo's description, the focus is on three points: Yang Podi's soul power reached level 98, Yang Podi's soul ring configuration was five black and four red, and Yang Podi easily defeated Haotian Twin Stars.
After hearing Ghost Douluo's description, everyone fell silent, especially the several elders. They had once attacked the ancestral land of the Clear Sky Sect and knew the fighting power of the Tang brothers, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, better than anyone else. But now, this Yang Podi, although only level 98, was actually so powerful.
Bibi Dong remained silent for a long time before suddenly speaking to the Golden Crocodile Douluo beside her: "Second Elder, the information I received regarding the attack on the Clear Sky Sect last time is not accurate. Could you describe in detail the strength of the Tang brothers, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, so that we can better assess the strength of this Yang Podi?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo thought for a moment before speaking: "Back when the Clear Sky Sect was fighting, Tang Hao's soul power was only level 95. His true strength was still quite different from mine. However, Tang Hao followed the path of extreme power. During the decisive battle of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hao used all his strength to destroy five soul rings and injured me with the Clear Sky Sect's Great Sumeru Hammer."
"When Yang Podi fought Tang Hao, Tang Hao destroyed eight of his spirit rings, but he was still no match for Yang Podi's ninth spirit skill. I'm afraid Yang Podi's strength far surpasses mine."
"Furthermore, during the war at Haotian Sect, although Tang Xiao had just entered level 97, he relied on the Haotian Formation and his powerful combat strength to fight to a draw against the three elders, the Lion Douluo, the Azure Phoenix Douluo, and the Light Feather Douluo. In particular, he was very skilled in using the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian, so his strength was probably no weaker than mine."
"This Yang Podi was able to easily win against two opponents; I'm afraid only the Grand Elder in this world has such strength."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent again, all astonished by Yang Podi's terrifying combat power and spirit ring configuration.
Bibi Dong's expression turned very serious, but after thinking for a long time, she finally spoke to Chrysanthemum Douluo beside her: "Chrysanthemum Douluo, you seem to have a good relationship with this Yang Podi. Tell me what you know about this Yang Podi."
Chrysanthemum Douluo was initially extremely amazed by Yang Podi's combat power, and at the same time, he was just watching the drama unfold, since this matter was far beyond his control. However, this drama actually happened to him.
Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke cautiously, "I have not had much contact with this Yang Podi, Your Holiness the Pope and the Grand Elder. I have only ever regarded him as a junior whom I like."
The surrounding crowd grumbled: "If he were just an ordinary junior, how could he have stayed at your house for half a month? How could he have known that you were injured and then brought a healing soul master to treat you? Besides, you went to Tianxing Academy multiple times for no reason. No one would believe this."
Chrysanthemum Douluo ignored the strange expressions of the others: "Since the Soul Master Competition, this Yang Podi has never shown his strength. All we know is that he set sail from Hanhai City more than four years ago and probably went to Seagod Island."
"Judging from this person's words and actions, he has no ill intentions towards our Spirit Hall. Moreover, this person is very good at judging the situation. After the Soul Master Competition, he decisively led his family away from Heaven Dou City to Mount Almo in the far north, obviously wanting to avoid the conflict between the three upper sects and our Spirit Hall."
"Moreover, his break with the Clear Sky Sect and his near killing of Tang Hao and Tang Xiao demonstrate his stance: he does not wish to collude with the Upper Three Sects and the Heaven Dou Empire. This person should not be an enemy of our Spirit Hall."
"Furthermore, this person has unintentionally helped our Spirit Hall on several occasions, which shows his attitude towards our Spirit Hall."
After hearing these words, Bibi Dong simply said, "Regardless of Yang Podi's attitude, his strength has reached such a high level that he is a threat to my Spirit Hall. Even if we cannot eliminate him, we must take countermeasures."
Qian Daoliu, who was standing to the side, suddenly opened his eyes: "Chrysanthemum Douluo, what are you talking about regarding Yang Podi unintentionally helping the Spirit Hall?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo was extremely surprised, not expecting even the Grand Elder to speak up. However, he still spoke cautiously: "Reporting to the Grand Elder, during the Soul Master Competition, the Heaven Dou Team 1, composed of the three upper sects, defeated my Spirit Hall team, but was defeated by Yang Podi's Heaven Dou Team 2. This can be considered as saving face for my Spirit Hall, at least it was not the three upper sects who won the championship."
"In addition, this person once traded the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to the young lady. The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower is not that effective for the Swan Martial Soul, but it has a very strong effect on the Angel Martial Soul, so it can be considered as helping the young lady."
Qian Daoliu's expression changed slightly: "You mean this person might know Xiaoxue's true identity?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head: "I don't know if Yang Podi knows the young lady's identity, but this can be considered as unintentionally helping the young lady."
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu simply nodded slightly, then closed his eyes again, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Bibi Dong spoke up at this moment: "Grand Elder, Yang Podi is a powerful man. My men may not be able to gauge his strength and attitude. Could you please personally take action to see how Yang Podi and Tianxing Academy treat our Spirit Hall?"
Qian Daoliu slightly opened his eyes: "Do I really need to handle such a trivial matter personally?"
Bibi Dong shook her head: "Given Yang Podi's current strength and age, he'll probably be the next Tang Chen of the Haotian Sect in just a few years. It's best to nip this threat in the bud."
"Moreover, this matter concerns Xiaoxue's situation in Heaven Dou City. As the number one expert in the Spirit Hall, Grand Elder, we can only feel at ease if you personally take action."
Qian Daoliu thought for a while before speaking: "Alright, I also wanted to go see Xiaoxue, so I'll take the opportunity to visit Tianxing Academy. I also want to see what this genius who far surpasses Tang Chen is really like."
Bibi Dong seemed to have a plan: "Grand Elder, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo have visited Tianxing Academy many times. Why don't we have them accompany us to serve you? In addition, Hu Liena is the Holy Maiden of my Spirit Hall, so she can also go along. This will not only show the respect of my Spirit Hall, but also allow me to discuss some issues of future cooperation."
"We don't necessarily have to fight to the death with Tianxing Academy. If possible, we can arrange a marriage between the Holy Maiden of my Spirit Hall and Yang Podi. This would also strengthen the Spirit Hall, which would be a win-win situation."
Qian Daoliu glanced meaningfully at Bibi Dong beside him, and finally nodded: "Okay, let's do it this way!"
Hu Liena, on the other hand, blushed slightly. She hadn't expected that such a major matter would eventually involve her, and specifically her marriage.
After some discussion, everyone finally agreed on the measures and attitude towards Tianxing Academy. With the Grand Elder personally taking charge, everyone felt much more at ease.
After the meeting, only Bibi Dong and Hu Liena remained at the scene.
Hu Liena seemed somewhat conflicted as she asked, "Your Holiness, do I really intend to marry Yang Podi?"
Pope Bibi Dong shook her head: "Nana, you must be especially careful on your trip to Tianxing Academy. If possible, try to arrange a marriage with Yang Podi. This will be of great help to you in the future, and besides, Yang Podi's talent and strength are worthy of you. If you can't reach an agreement, you must pay even more attention to your safety. When the Grand Elder and Yang Podi fight, the area within several miles will probably be razed to the ground. I will instruct Yue Guan and Gui Mei to keep a close eye on your safety."
Hu Liena's expression turned unusually serious: "Thank you for your guidance, teacher. I will certainly live up to your expectations."
After Hu Liena left the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong's expression turned unusually cold. This meeting could be said to have been entirely her plan.
This time, she deliberately encouraged Qian Daoliu to make a move, wanting to test the strength of this old guy, since Qian Daoliu was the one she feared most in the Spirit Hall.
If Qian Daoliu and Yang Podi really fight, then she will benefit from the conflict between the two. If Qian Daoliu is seriously injured, then the biggest foundation of the Six-Winged Angel lineage will be gone. Qian Daoliu may even end up like Qian Xunji, which would really be a good thing for Bibi Dong.
If the talks between the two sides go smoothly and Hu Liena and Yang Podi's marriage is successful, she will have gained a powerful ally. At that time, she will no longer be afraid of Qian Daoliu, and the Spirit Hall and even the entire Douluo Continent will be within her grasp.
From any perspective, Bibi Dong will not lose out in this scheme.
