Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 365 Departure and Interception

After the awards ceremony, the three teams that won the Soul Bone left amidst envious glances.

Soul bones are like hot potatoes; top-grade soul bones that are over 50,000 years old are extremely hot to handle. Without sufficient strength, possessing such a treasure is a crime.

Even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wanted to leave Wuhun City safely, they needed to travel with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to feel secure enough, let alone the Four Elements Academy and the Eating and Drinking Team.

That's why, back during the awards ceremony, Ning Fengzhi took advantage of the break while awarding Yi Shuihan the soul bone to invite the Eat & Drink Team to leave with them.

Although it's not on the way, the Eat and Drink Team, with their Soul Bones, wouldn't be safe even if they returned to the Kingdom of Silves. So it's better to go back to Heaven Dou City together and wait until things calm down and their strength has grown before making any further plans.

Not only the Eating and Drinking Team, but also the two captains of the Holy Light Team, Yan Mo and Wang Shiyu, agreed to go to Tiandou City for a while at the double invitation of Xue Qinghe and Shui Bing'er.

Money can move people's hearts, so while everyone was still receiving awards at the Soul Arena a short while before, they were already riding in carriages and driving out of the gates of Wuhun City a short while later. Their movements were so clean and efficient that there was not a trace of hesitation.

On the surface, this long convoy only had two Title Douluos: Bone Douluo Gu Rong and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

In the shadows, there are Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo.

With such a small number of high-end combatants, there are quite a few people who would like to seize their soul bones.

However, a significant portion of these people were blocked by the Spirit Hall.

The ones who intervened were not elders of the Spirit Hall, but several elders of the Hall of Offerings. Naturally, they were not acting on Pope Bibi Dong's orders, but on the orders of the Grand Elder Qian Daoliu.

Among these honorees, Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who have been promoted from elders to honorees, are of course indispensable. Even as honorees, they are still workaholics and do just as much hard work as ever.

High in the sky, above the clouds.

The Sect Master of the Body Sect, Du Huang, and the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu, faced off several meters apart.

"When did the relationship between the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire become so good that even an old senior like you who never leaves the house has come out of the Hall of Worship?"

Du Huang crossed his arms and asked curiously.

The invincible Qian Daoliu of the sky held an angelic holy sword with a double gradient of crimson and dark gold in his hand. With such combat power, he could not help but be cautious. Therefore, his tone became unusually polite, and he even used the respectful term "senior" to address the person.

"I have my reasons. Please, for the sake of the Qian family of the Spirit Hall, let this matter rest!"

"Your soul bone is already full. You only planned to acquire this soul bone for the sect. Don't let it cause you serious injuries that shake your foundation and prevent you from reaching level 99."

Qian Daoliu spoke with a mix of persuasion and threat, while continuously channeling angelic soul power into the Angelic Holy Sword in his hand. The aura of angelic divine power emanated from it, making Du Huang feel a potentially fatal danger.

"Of course, of course."

Du Huang smiled nonchalantly and said:
"Senior is the oldest of the three peerless Douluo of this era, so I will naturally give you face."

……

the other side.

Nestled among the mountains, deep within the clouds and mist.

Several titled Douluo of the Star Crown Sect were locked in a standoff with Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

"Although you have a soul power of level 97, what are your chances of winning against our two level forbidden domains?"

Yue Guan smiled and spoke to Xu Huanchen, the Grand Elder of the Star Crown Sect.

On the surface, they are both newly promoted retainers, with a soul power level of 96. There is only one level difference between 96 and 97, and ordinary methods may not be enough to make up for this level of soul power gap, but the Martial Soul Fusion Technique is one of the few exceptions.

"Please forgive my bluntness, but this tournament is being held in Spirit City. If the top three teams in this tournament were to encounter such a situation shortly after leaving Spirit City, what would become of the Spirit Hall's reputation?"

The ghostly figure also spoke in a chilling tone:
"This is an order personally given by the High Priest, senior, please don't make things difficult for us."

A thousand streams?
A deep sense of apprehension flashed in Xu Huanchen's eyes.

He was old and had lived a long life. He was of the same generation as Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen and others, so he naturally knew how Sky Invincible had earned his reputation.

This person has always been hypocritical. He doesn't care about anything that doesn't involve the Spirit Hall, no, the core interests of the Qian family. Why would he act like this today?

"Fine, let's give him face."

Circumstances are beyond human control. Although Xu Huanchen is not afraid of the bipolar static domain, he is powerless to do anything about it.

Whether it was truly Qian Daoliu's order or Bibi Dong's decree, it doesn't matter. What matters is that with Yue Guan Gui Mei here, their Xing Guan Sect cannot break through the martial soul fusion technique of these two, thus losing the possibility of seizing the soul bone.

After saying this, Xu Huanchen led the elders behind him away in a burst of starlight.

Eight major forces.

The Heaven Dou Empire traveled with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which benefited from the conflict, while the Sea God Empire and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School left early, although the latter encountered an accident.

The Star Luo Empire only sent one Title Douluo on this trip, and his strength was only average; he didn't have the ability to compete for the Soul Bone.

The only remaining contenders for the Soul Bone are the Spirit Hall, the Body Sect, and the Star Crown Sect.

Now that the Spirit Hall's Hall of Worship has intervened to stop the Body Sect and the Star Crown Sect, the remaining nobodies are not worth fearing at all. If they dare to come, they won't be able to escape from the hands of the four Title Douluos, two in the open and two in the shadows.

"So, it really was Qian Daoliu's order?"

Not long after the Xingguan Sect group left, Lin Rong slowly emerged from the void.

"I thought I would have to secretly intervene this time to have some fun, but I didn't expect Qian Daoliu to be so protective of his granddaughter."

"My lord." Yue Guan Gui Mei stood on either side of Lin Rong, bowing respectfully.

“This time, not only did Qian Daoliu personally issue the order, but he also stepped out of the Offering Hall and took the initiative to stop the Sect Master of the Body Sect.”

"Personally stop Du Huang?" Lin Rong's tone changed.

"Why is this old guy not properly guarding the Golden Crocodile Douluo's inherited divine position in the Angel Inheritance Space, but instead running around doing this?"

“Taking the soul bone means silencing her. Since it concerns my daughter’s safety, Bibi Dong can’t possibly stand idly by.”

“Qian Daoliu wouldn’t be stingy with his pride. Now that he’s chosen to come out, does that mean Golden Crocodile Douluo doesn’t need someone to protect him at all times?”

Regarding the matter of inheriting the divine position, Lin Rong himself has always maintained a dragon soul clone by the old steward's side to protect him, just in case there is someone to take care of him in case of any accidents.

Qian Daoliu has been guarding Golden Crocodile Douluo for so long, and now he suddenly appears. Could it be that something went wrong during Golden Crocodile Douluo's inheritance of the divine position?
If this is true, it would be a fantastic thing.

The old steward started later than Golden Crocodile Douluo, but now that this incident has happened, he might be able to catch up with or even surpass the progress of the godhood inheritance.
