Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Just as Bibi Dong was feeling happy, various people returned one after another to report various news, mostly from Tian Dou City. Although the news was mixed, the situation seemed to be much better for the Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong also made various arrangements. First, she arranged for people to spread a lot of information, the main content of which was that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Haotian School had rebelled in Tiandou City, killed all members of the Tiandou royal family, and plotted to control the Tiandou Empire.

Then, in the name of the Spirit Hall, they strongly condemned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, while emphasizing that the Clear Sky School had violated the original agreement by sending spirit masters to overthrow the Heaven Dou Empire. The previous agreement was officially null and void, and the two sides entered a state of war.

Finally, the Spirit Hall stated that it was willing to support the legitimate Heaven Dou royal family and would focus on cracking down on the false forces cultivated by the two major sects. At the same time, it called on all provinces and kingdoms of the Heaven Dou Empire to jointly resist the two major sects and the false royal family.

In short, whatever measures are taken, the goal is to make the Heaven Dou Empire as chaotic as possible, ideally so that the Spirit Hall can take over the Heaven Dou Empire without bloodshed.

After all the arrangements were made, only Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue remained in the main hall, but the two looked at each other with extremely unpleasant expressions.

Finally, looking at Qian Renxue's stubborn face, Bibi Dong couldn't help but sigh: "Now that you're back at the Spirit Hall, take a good rest and go see your grandfather."

Qian Renxue's face was cold: "Of course, my grandfather is the only person I have in this world who is close to me."

Bibi Dong's face turned cold, as if an invisible aura exploded, making even her ex-boyfriend feel extremely uncomfortable.

"What did you say? What do you mean you only have your grandfather as family?"

Qian Renxue snorted coldly: "What, did I say something wrong, sister?"

Bibi Dong's lips tightened: "Sister? You actually called me sister?"

The tension between the two suddenly seemed to rise, as if they were about to break off their relationship and engage in a major battle at any moment.

Finally, Bibi Dong composed herself and sighed, "Go see your grandfather. By the way, I heard you lost to Yang Ping'an in the Soul Battle. Although you lost, as long as you absorb the experience, with your talent, you'll win back sooner or later."

Qian Renxue retorted, "Of course, I will defeat that brat sooner or later, and I will make him suffer terribly."

"Also, from now on, I will take over the Elders' Hall, and you just need to manage your Papal Palace."

Bibi Dong gave a cold laugh: "You're still too naive. If all the elders would listen to you, then so be it. I advise you to think carefully about the reasons for the failure of this operation and the purpose of Yang Ping'an's actions. In every aspect, you are far inferior to him."

Qian Renxue instantly flew into a rage: "Don't compare me to that little thief. I am the inheritor of the Angel Clan."

Bibi Dong said with a hint of self-deprecation, "Angel race? Fine, besides your grandfather and your identity as an angel, what do you have compared to Yang Ping'an?"

Qian Renxue seemed to have reached the extreme of anger at this moment, and finally gritted her teeth and turned to leave.

Bibi Dong watched Qian Renxue's departing figure, her hand gripping the scepter tightly, her teeth clenched as she muttered, "The Angel Clan, I will destroy the foundation of the Angel Clan sooner or later."

……

In Tiandou City, Ning Fengzhi and Tang San gathered many nobles. After some discussion, they finally found a member of a collateral branch of the Xue family. Although he was quite distant from Emperor Xue Ye's branch, he still shared the surname Xue and was relatively shrewd and capable, which would at least satisfy all parties.

However, rumors were rampant throughout the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School seemed to have fallen into a vortex once again. Even the hidden Clear Sky School was caught in the vortex. Especially with the Spirit Hall's instigation, Ning Fengzhi and Tang San were almost seen as conspirators who coveted the Heaven Dou Empire.

Even more outrageous rumors circulated that Emperor Xueye was poisoned to death by Tang San, who was skilled in using poison, and that the other direct descendants of the Xue family were killed by Bone Douluo at Ning Fengzhi's behest. The two were thoroughly dismayed by these rumors.

What's even more troublesome is that all the duchy kingdoms under the Heavenly Dou Empire basically ignore the newly enthroned Heavenly Dou Emperor. Even many provinces verbally support him in name only, but completely disregard his orders.

In that instant, the Heavenly Dou Empire seemed to have fallen apart, and those with even a little foresight began to think about their future.

What's even more disheartening is that the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace has been reduced to nothing, the Heavenly Dou Empire's treasury has been looted, and it's even struggling to support the expenses of its million-strong army. There's a real risk that the army might even mutiny.

Ning Fengzhi was also at his wits' end seeing this situation. If it weren't for the powerful enemy, the Spirit Hall, outside, he probably would have already wanted to run away with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School members.

Tang San's Tang Clan, on the other hand, was in a relatively dire situation. The three major clans had already suffered heavy losses from the Spirit Hall's attack on their way from the Star Luo Empire. Now, the Heaven Dou Empire was in a similar predicament, lacking both the large orders for hidden weapons from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the strong support from the Heaven Dou Royal Family. Instead, they had to support the Heaven Dou Royal Family. The Tang Clan was immediately plunged into crisis.

Just when Tang San was overwhelmed by the many affairs of the Tang Sect, Yu Xiaogang came to visit with Flander and Liu Erlong, and they seemed to be quite serious.

Tang San quickly led the three into the Tang Sect: "Teacher, weren't you training many Soul Masters? What brings you to the Tang Sect today?"

Since the establishment of the new Heaven Dou Royal Family, the new emperor has appointed Yu Xiaogang as the Chief of Soul Masters, wanting to train a Soul Master army belonging to the royal family as soon as possible, otherwise it would be impossible to control the four directions.

Yu Xiaogang seemed a little conflicted: "Xiao San, there are two things at the front desk that we might need to trouble you with."

Tang San quickly said, "Teacher, please just tell me what's wrong, and I'll do my best to help."

Yu Xiaogang thought for a moment before speaking: "Xiao San, I heard that the Min clan has a Crystal Jade Dragon Ginseng. Could you please contact Elder Baihe to part with it? I am willing to pay a high price to buy it."

Tang San was a little conflicted at this moment. In fact, the Crystal Jade Dragon Ginseng of the White Crane had already come into his hands, but in order to win over Yang Wudi and the Po Clan, he had already given it to Yang Wudi. It was not in his hands at all.

Moreover, given Tang San's understanding of immortal herbs, this Crystal Jade Dragon Body is definitely a rare treasure that can be of great help to Soul Masters. Giving it to Yang Wudi means that it will stay with him for a while, and given their relationship, Yang Wudi will probably return it to him sooner or later.

Finally, Tang San gritted his teeth and spoke: "Teacher, Senior Baihe has already given Senior Yang Wudi that Crystal Jade Dragon Life. I'm afraid you're already too late."

Yu Xiaogang was dejected upon hearing this. The Po clan was unparalleled in alchemy, so how could they possibly take out the herbs that were in their hands?

Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang with some confusion: "Teacher, is this Crystal Jade Dragon God very important to you?"

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but sigh: "Perhaps this is fate. You should know the situation of my martial soul. If I take the Crystal Jade Dragon Ginseng, I will definitely be able to break through Luo Sanpao's bottleneck, and my soul power will definitely be able to reach a higher level in the future."

Tang San also possessed some knowledge of martial spirits and was even more aware of the effects of the Crystal Jade Dragon Ginseng, which could indeed work on Yu Xiaogang.

"Teacher, I can only ask Senior Yang Wudi, but I can't guarantee it. He might have already used it for alchemy, since the Po clan is obsessed with alchemy."

The master and disciple each had their own thoughts, but neither wanted to say them outright.

"Teacher, didn't you say there was one more thing? Could it be related to your martial spirit and cultivation again? Don't worry, I will do everything I can to help you complete it."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head: "I would like to ask you to find your father and pass on a message. After all, he comes and goes without a trace, and I can't find him either."

Tang San looked puzzled: "Teacher, why do you want to see my father? Is there some serious matter that you can't resolve?"

Yu Xiaogang quickly denied it: "It's nothing serious, just passing on a message. Do you remember Yang Ping'an, whom we met at the Soul Master Competition?"

Tang San's face immediately turned cold. In the Soul Master Competition, Yang Ping'an had defeated him repeatedly and was considered his biggest rival. However, after five years, he was no longer the same person he used to be and believed that he definitely had the strength to defeat Yang Ping'an.

"I remember he performed very well in the Soul Master Competition. Is what you're saying related to Yang Ping'an?"

Yu Xiaogang nodded: "Last time I went to talk to him about some martial spirit knowledge, his condition was that I should pass on a message to your father, which was that he wanted to meet with your father, but I don't know the specifics."

Tang San remained silent for a while before speaking: "Teacher, if I see my father, I will convey your message, but I am not sure if my father will see him."

Yu Xiaogang seemed a little worried and said, "Xiao San, you have to be careful of this Yang Ping'an in the future. Last time we met him, he seemed to have a strong killing intent, and he has already reached the Soul Saint level."

Tang San was immediately astonished: "How is this possible? I have been cultivating diligently for five years and have only increased my level by twenty. How could I possibly have reached the Soul Saint realm? You must know that he was only level forty-five when he participated in the Soul Master Competition."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head: "I don't know about that, but according to Flander, this person is very dangerous, so you should be especially careful in the future."

After some discussion, Yu Xiaogang and the other two left the place.

Liu Erlong seemed a little puzzled and said, "Xiao Gang, should we go to the Broken Clan to find Yang Wudi? After all, this is related to your martial spirit and cultivation."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head: "Now the Po Clan has joined the Tang Sect. You should know about the war with the Haotian Sect back then. The Po Clan probably hated the Haotian Sect back then. Now that the Po Clan is willing to follow Xiao San and join the Tang Sect, Xiao San must have paid a huge price."

Liu Erlong was a little confused: "You don't mean Tang San used the Crystal Jade Dragon Ginseng to bribe Yang Wudi, do you?"

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but sigh: "Rumor has it that Yang Wudi loves medicine more than life itself. How could he possibly give up something he already has so easily? Perhaps we can only pin our hopes on Xiaosan."

After Yu Xiao and the others left, Tang San quickly arrived at a secluded backyard, where Tang Hao was drinking.

Tang Hao was a little puzzled: "Xiao San, weren't you busy with Tang Clan matters? What brings you here today?"

Tang San quickly explained the purpose of Yu Xiaogang's visit, especially Yang Ping'an's desire to see Tang Hao.

Tang Hao's face showed extreme disdain: "A mere brat dares to think he can see me? He's simply overestimating himself."

Tang San quickly explained, "Father, for some reason, Yang Ping'an has actually reached the Soul Saint realm after all these years. I feel something is very wrong, and he specifically asked to see you. I think he probably doesn't have good intentions."

Tang Hao remained unconcerned: "It's just a Soul Saint, why are you making such a fuss? With your strength, aren't you already capable of defeating a Soul Saint?"

Tang San's expression turned serious: "Father, I don't think things are that simple. This Yang Ping'an only has half a level of innate soul power. He is only four years older than me, which means he is only twenty-three years old now. He is probably the youngest Soul Saint known in the Soul Master world."

Tang Hao glanced at Tang San casually: "So what? With your strength and talent, you'll break through to Soul Saint sooner or later than him."

Tang San looked puzzled: "Father, have you ever known or met Yang Ping'an before?"

Tang Hao thought for a moment and said, "Probably not. I wouldn't care about a kid like that. You need to understand, having potential and being a master are two completely different things."

Just then, Tang Hao suddenly shouted angrily, "Who goes there? How dare you sneak in like this? Do you underestimate me?"

As Tang Hao finished speaking, an extremely strong killing intent seemed to lock onto a certain location, which even surprised Tang San.

Unexpectedly, the murderous aura emanating from Tang Hao was knocked away, and then a black figure appeared in the courtyard.

The man was dressed in a black robe, his entire body was covered in black, and his face appeared extremely resolute. His long golden hair was even more striking.

This person was Yang Ping'an. Originally, he wasn't very confident that Yu Xiaogang would find Tang Hao, but as long as he followed Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, he was sure he could find Tang Hao.

"Tang Hao, you're really hard to find! I never imagined that the mighty Haotian Douluo would be hiding in such a small place." (End of Chapter)
