Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 135 Doubt

"Chen Xuan from Shrek Academy, right? The Pope requests your presence. Please come with me."

Love is just around the corner, but a figure suddenly appears and blocks your way.

"Who are you?" Chen Xuan frowned slightly as he looked at the middle-aged man.

This was a man dressed in black, bearing the emblem of the Spirit Hall. He had some gray hair at his temples, making him look to be in his fifties or sixties.

"Deacon of the Spirit Hall, Black-Clad Bishop."

The middle-aged man put his hands back down and said calmly, "That's enough small talk. Come with me. As long as you cooperate, His Holiness the Pope won't make things difficult for you."

"I don't believe you," Chen Xuan said, unmoved.

Earlier, he felt that Bibi Dong's gaze towards him was strange; it wasn't in a recruiting manner, but rather hostile.

"Don't be stubborn, kid. I admit you're a genius. You've cultivated to the Soul King level at such a young age, showing the flair of the Golden Generation. But you're still just a Soul King. I advise you not to act rashly."

The black-robed bishop paused, then continued, "Rest assured, the Spirit Hall has no ill intentions towards you. His Majesty simply wants to ask you some questions."

"What's going on?" Chen Xuan asked calmly, while calculating an escape route behind his back.

However, he soon discovered that it was extremely difficult. Wuhun City was heavily guarded, with more than a dozen Title Douluos. Escaping from such a place was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"You'll know when you get there." The black-clad bishop stood with his hands behind his back, his posture calm and composed, showing no fear of Chen Xuan's tricks.

"My patience is limited, come with me."

After a moment's consideration, Chen Xuan decided to go with them, ready to face whatever comes his way.

The black-robed bishop walked ahead with his hands behind his back, completely at ease, showing no concern whatsoever that Chen Xuan would run away.

Clearly, he had enough confidence in his own strength. It would be a joke if a little kid escaped from Contra.

Chen Xuan followed behind at a leisurely pace, but he did not sit idly by and wait to be manipulated; that was not his style.

Along the way, taking advantage of the other party's blind spot, he secretly slipped a kunai from his sleeve, so discreetly that it went unnoticed.

Or rather, even if the Black Cardinal noticed, he wouldn't care; in the face of absolute power, everything is futile.

Chen Xuan was happy with this arrangement; the more confident the other party was, the more advantageous it would be for him.

Since breaking through to the Soul King realm, the maximum range of the Flying Thunder God Technique has increased to 600 meters. Now, he can place a kunai at intervals, and if he senses something is wrong, he can teleport out in the shortest amount of time.

Soon after, the black cardinal led him to a palace, which is now the Papal Palace.

The palace is spacious, resplendent in gold, and stands a hundred meters tall, like a long spear pointing towards the sky.

The black-robed bishop pushed open the door, which was about twenty or thirty meters wide, and led Chen Xuan inside.

"Your Holiness, the person you requested has been brought." He bowed deeply and respectfully to the beautiful woman on the throne.

Chen Xuan also looked over there. Bibi Dong, with her long dress covering her feet and slender figure, was leaning lazily against the chair with her legs crossed.

At this moment, she also looked towards the door, a slight smile playing on her lips as she looked at Chen Xuan with great interest.

"You may leave now." Bibi Dong smiled faintly and waved her hand casually.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The black-clad bishop bowed respectfully before leaving, closing the door behind him.

In addition, there were three other people in the spacious hall, who were of extraordinary status and were known as the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall. They were Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan.

Hu Liena looked towards the doorway, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly in surprise. "It's you, the little brother from the Soul Beast Forest?" she asked.

Upon seeing the fox demon, Chen Xuan immediately wanted to run away, not wanting to stay a moment longer.

After my experience in the Starry Sky Forest, I really didn't have a good impression of this alluring woman. Despite being a woman, she loved to tease people so much.

"Nana, do you know her?" Xie Yue was extremely surprised. His younger sister had never been to Tian Dou, so how could she know this guy?

Yan's expression gradually darkened, and she felt jealous, her gaze towards Chen Xuan filled with hostility.

Nana is his goddess, and no man is allowed to touch her, otherwise they will be going against him. This guy who suddenly appeared is extremely suspicious.

"Alright, you three may leave now." At this moment, Bibi Dong suddenly spoke, dismissing Hu Liena and Xie Yue.

Chen Xuan's heart skipped a beat; he had a bad feeling.

The three dared not disobey the Pope's order and had no choice but to head out the door.

"Little brother, you must come find your big sister later." Before leaving, Hu Liena licked her red lips, gave Chen Xuan a flirtatious wink, and then walked away with cat-like steps.

Seeing this, Yan clenched his fists and his face turned cold. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would definitely have rushed up and taught this kid a lesson.

Chen Xuan felt ashamed, and the pink light between his eyebrows dissipated.

"A cunning fox." Just now, he was mentally attacked; that evil woman tried to seduce him again, just like in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The three left and closed the gate. The spacious palace, resplendent in gold and jade, was somewhat deserted, leaving only Bibi Dong and Chen Xuan behind.

Chen Xuan had a bad feeling. Was the fact that they dismissed everyone else but deliberately kept him behind because they were planning to do something nefarious to him?

The more I think about it, the more likely it seems. This woman is crazy; she's capable of anything.

But he was puzzled. There was no grudge between them, and Yu Xiaogang's death was very secretive with an alibi. He shouldn't have been suspected.

"Your Holiness, what brings you here?" Chen Xuan asked, forcing himself to speak, his body tensing involuntarily.

This woman is terrifyingly powerful, but also a madwoman. She is unpredictable, unreasonable, and prone to causing rivers of blood to flow at the drop of a hat.

Chen Xuan's heart was pounding; he couldn't help but feel nervous. The person he was facing was practically one of the strongest on the continent.

Bibi Dong was stunningly beautiful, with a slender figure and graceful curves. A light, thin dress covered her delicate body, further highlighting her mature charm.

She leaned back lazily in her chair, watching Chen Xuan with interest. She was very composed, a faint smile playing on her lips, and casually said, "What, don't you know what you've done?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan was filled with questions. What the hell? What had he done now?

Bibi Dong still smiled faintly, her eyes playful, but her expression turned colder.

"Little brat, confess and you'll be treated leniently. If I point it out, you'll be in big trouble."

Chen Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and then he was somewhat horrified. How did they find out?

He felt a chill run down his spine, but he pretended to be calm and looked completely bewildered, saying, "Your Holiness, please be clear, I don't know what you're talking about."

Bibi Dong's beautiful face darkened, her eyes instantly turning cold as she coldly asked, "Tell me, where were you more than half a month ago?"

Chen Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, deeply shocked. He quickly forced himself to calm down to avoid arousing suspicion.

He couldn't understand how Yu Xiaogang's death could be linked to him. Liu Erlong and Flander, who were most familiar with him, hadn't noticed anything unusual, but Bibi Dong, whom he hadn't contacted for twenty years, had? It was too illogical.

"wrong!"

Chen Xuan quickly noticed the flaw: if the other party was truly certain that he had killed Yu Xiaogang, they wouldn't be standing here talking now.

"Is he trying to trick me?" He guessed, and he was pretty sure it was true.

"Your Holiness, what do you mean by this? I've been at Shrek Academy for over half a month now," Chen Xuan said, feigning a blank expression.

During that period, he frantically sought to make his presence felt in the academy. When he went to kill Yu Xiaogang, he used a shadow clone, transforming into Tang San's appearance, to create an alibi.

He believed that since the Pope, a man of great stature, had suspected him, he must have already investigated and knew about these matters.

Bibi Dong stared at Chen Xuan with a cold expression and incredibly deep eyes, like an abyss, without saying a word.

"Trying to force a sense of tension?" Chen Xuan remained unfazed, continuing to maintain an innocent and harmless expression.

Clearly, he guessed correctly. Bibi Dong herself wasn't sure; she only had doubts. Otherwise, she would have already unleashed a powerful attack from the Spider Emperor's true form instead of wasting time talking.

In fact, just as Chen Xuan had thought, Bibi Dong had already sent people to investigate the culprit who injured Yu Xiaogang before the Tian Dou army arrived, but so far, they had no clue.

During that time, Chen Xuan lived at Shrek Academy. The timeline doesn't match the day Yu Xiaogang was murdered, so it can't prove anything.

If it were anyone else, she would rather kill a thousand innocent people than let any suspect go free. But this kid is different. He is a talent recommended by Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan many times. Moreover, Qian Renxue also sent a message that Chen Xuan's will is inclined towards the Spirit Hall and he has no feelings for the Heaven Dou Empire.

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong withdrew her gaze and sighed slightly. The Spirit Hall needs talent, especially geniuses with the potential to break through to the Title Douluo level.

Just now, she was merely testing the waters and didn't notice any unusual reaction from Chen Xuan. Since they would both be members of the Spirit Hall sooner or later, there was no need to go too far, lest she disappoint him.

"Alright, I understand. Come and sit down," Bibi Dong said calmly.

She leaned back lazily on the throne, resuming her casual posture, crossing one long leg as she pleased.

"What a crazy woman, so unpredictable!" Chen Xuan muttered to himself, but didn't dare say it aloud.

In the center of the main hall, there are two rows of chairs and several tea seats.

Chen Xuan casually found a chair and sat down without saying a word, waiting to see what this female pope was up to.

This time, Bibi Dong didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Little one, do you know that Elder Yue Guan greatly admires you and has recommended you to me many times, saying that you are a rare genius? Would you be interested in joining the Spirit Hall?"
