"Now, please send your first players to the stage, Haotian Sect Team and Beast Academy Team."
As the host finished speaking, the members of the two teams entered the preparation area.
But it caused an uproar:
"What are the people from the Haotian Sect doing?"
"Why are they all carrying white linen? Has someone in their family died?"
"Don't you know yet? Last night, the people from the Clear Sky Sect picked a fight with Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, and even said they would cripple her. But then a peerless master stepped forward and chopped the Fifth Elder of the Clear Sky Sect in two with a single scythe."
"Holy crap? The main elder of the Clear Sky Sect must be at least a Soul Douluo level expert, right?"
"Who can argue with that? That's why the one who made the move is called a peerless master. If he weren't strong, how could he be worthy of the title 'peerless'?"
"I never expected that my Holy Maiden wife would have such a powerful figure by her side. It seems that my chances of winning her favor are very slim!"
"Speaking of which, the people from the Clear Sky Sect are ruthless. They actually came to participate in the Soul Master Competition dressed in mourning clothes. This is to declare to everyone that the Clear Sky Sect has been wronged and aggrieved!"
"Perhaps they want to demonstrate their loyalty and sense of justice, and build a positive image?"
The crowd was abuzz with discussion. After hearing his subordinate's report, Emperor Xueye felt quite sympathetic towards the Haotian Sect. In just one day, they had lost three important figures because of Bibi Dong, which was indeed a loss.
This little girl has such great power; it seems the Spirit Hall's regard for her is not to be underestimated!
"Ahem, Soul Masters of the Clear Sky Sect, why are you wearing white cloths on your arms as you enter the arena? Has something unfortunate happened?"
Emperor Xueye feigned ignorance, his booming voice echoing throughout the Soul Arena via the amplified soul guide device.
"Your Majesty, our Fifth Elder, Tang Yu, passed away unexpectedly last night. During his lifetime, the Fifth Elder devoted himself to our Haotian Sect and treated us very well. Therefore, he will be accompanied by white mourning clothes during the funeral. We hope Your Majesty will grant us permission."
Tang Xiao stepped forward and addressed Emperor Xueye.
Because Yang Tian and Bai Yu were seriously injured and lost their ability to fight, even a healing-type Soul Master at the Soul Saint level would find it difficult to heal their injuries in a short time. Therefore, Tang Xiao could only bring a substitute member from the Clear Sky Sect to participate in the competition.
"That's such a pity. I'm also deeply saddened. The disciples of Haotian Sect are loyal and righteous, so how could I not allow it?"
After sighing, Emperor Xueye said, "However, the Fifth Elder was a Soul Douluo level expert. He was a rare expert in the entire empire. How could he have died suddenly? Was there some kind of accident?"
Emperor Xueye appeared indignant and patted his chest, saying, "Haotian Sect is the number one sect of my Tiandou Empire, a national treasure. Just tell me, and I will definitely uphold justice for Haotian Sect."
These words truly moved the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect:
His Majesty the Emperor's heart is still with our Clear Sky Sect! Waaah, damned Spirit Hall, damned Holy Maiden Bibi Dong!
However, Tang Xiao cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. However, the death of the Fifth Elder was an accident. Perhaps he was worried because he had worked hard day and night for the entire Haotian Sect, especially with the competition approaching. He was so worried that he was in low spirits and died suddenly."
These words shocked everyone present.
You must understand that the strange phenomenon caused by Su Ze's scythe last night could not be concealed at all.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Elder Ning, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School's Deputy Sect Master Yu Luomian, and others all sent people to investigate the Dongxing Night Market. They were able to find eyewitnesses to the collapsed buildings.
Tang Yu was killed!
How did it become, in the mouths of the Haotian Sect's own people, that he died suddenly from mental exhaustion?!
"However, I heard that Elder Tang Yu was actually killed at the Dongxing Night Market, and it seems to be related to Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, and a mysterious farmer?"
Since the Haotian Sect was unwilling to reveal the truth, Emperor Xueye asked the question himself, voicing what everyone was thinking.
The mention of Bibi Dong made the elders of the Spirit Hall feel a pang of unease.
The current situation is that the Spirit Hall fears the Clear Sky Sect. The Clear Sky Sect is in its glorious and powerful period. With Tang Chen in charge, they are all full of vigor and do not take other forces seriously, even the Spirit Hall.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that, after Tang Chen disappeared in the original work, the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall immediately went into seclusion after any minor friction, because they knew that the Spirit Hall would not regard them as friendly friends for their actions.
But the situation is different now. The powerful figure dressed as a farmer last night displayed strength that even Ancestor Tang Chen might find difficult to surpass. They couldn't help but wonder:
Besides the Grand Elder Qian Daoliu, the Spirit Hall also hides an invincible powerhouse who follows Bibi Dong.
"Your Majesty, this is a rumor."
“No one from our Haotian Sect team went to Dongxing Night Market that night, including Elder Tang Yu.”
"If Your Majesty does not believe me, you can ask all the disciples of the Haotian Sect."
"Who's in favor, and who's opposed? Step forward."
Tang Xiao focused his mind and answered respectfully. He then looked around at the Haotian Sect members and saw only their support, leaving everyone confused.
rumor?
Was everything that happened at Dongxing Night Market last night just a dream?
A fabricated lie?
There are no peerless experts at all?
The Tang family of Haotian Sect aren't stupid. Even if they admit that Tang Yu was killed by that mysterious farmer, so what? Would the two great empires and major sects really help them take revenge?
impossible.
It would be better to throw out a smokescreen, let the matter fade away, and still keep a suspense in the open, leaving the Haotian Sect with a mystery.
Emperor Xueye narrowed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, since it's just a rumor, let's drop it. Let's focus on the competition for now. Let's begin."
However, Emperor Xueye's expression changed as soon as he turned around, and he secretly instructed his trusted ministers: "Continue the investigation, find that farmer, I want to see him and give him the best imperial treatment."
With the rise of the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall in the Heaven Dou Empire, the royal power has gradually declined. Such a powerful figure would not be missed by Emperor Xueye if there was even the slightest chance!
Those who shared the same idea as Emperor Xueye included the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, the Star Luo Royal Family, the White Tiger School, the Elephant Armor School, the Fire Leopard School, and the Blazing Fire Academy...
Meanwhile, in their search for someone, they had already left Tiandou City and arrived in Fasno territory, accompanied by Bibi Dong.
Running away after getting into trouble, how exciting!
"Dong'er, aren't you going to play in the qualifying matches?"
"I'm not playing anymore. Anyway, it seems that nothing matters except the finals."
Bibi Dong smiled. Her current goal was to defeat the Tang brothers, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao. In the qualifying rounds, the Spirit Hall team and the Clear Sky Sect team had already fought each other. The one-on-one mechanism meant they wouldn't meet again after that.
There will only be two more opportunities to meet during the finals.
The qualifying rounds consist of 7 matches per day for at least 14 days, meaning that the 15 teams will compete until all teams have faced each other at least once.
Then, after a period of adjustment, the finals will begin.
During this time, she could indeed stay by Su Ze's side.
"However, Brother Su Ze, you don't need to blame yourself. That Elder Tang Yu of the Haotian Sect was never a good person. I heard that he used to break the arms and legs of disobedient civilians and lock them in brothels. He was very cruel. You have done a good deed for the people!"
“Dong’er, I don’t blame myself. I just didn’t expect it.”
Su Ze smiled wryly.
"Didn't expect anything?"
"I never expected that everything outside the manor would be so out of place for me."
"..."
Bibi Dong was speechless for a moment. Indeed, the outside world was no match for Brother Su Ze. Who made Brother Su Ze so strong!
Su Ze shook his head and said, "But my feelings about killing for the first time were indeed a bit complicated. It was a strange feeling, a little bit of guilt, the harm done to innocent people, and... a sense of pleasure."
He never imagined that a Soul Master would be so weak! He had actually killed them in an instant!
So that joke I saw in modern times was actually true! Ordinary people from Earth can create miracles of power here?!
……
Su Ze has always adhered to the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me," and tries his best to treat others with friendliness and tolerance.
This isn't about being a saint; it's simply a matter of principle and courtesy.
"It seems I'm better off staying in the manor, planting flowers and trees. But don't worry, Dong'er, since I promised to watch your match, I will definitely go to the finals."
Su Ze patted Bibi Dong's head and said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll stay with Brother Su Ze. After I finish the finals, I'll move to the manor and live with Su Ze."
Bibi Dong quickly understood Su Ze's mindset. In the You Ran Manor, there were super treasures everywhere. These treasures were considered priceless by ordinary soul masters, and they were something that they would risk their lives for.
But for Su Ze's brother, that was the place where he could live like an ordinary person.
Mythical beasts are pets.
"It's alright. If you prefer to stay at the Spirit Hall, then stay there. If you prefer to come to the manor, I'll reserve a room for you."
"However, there is something I would like to remind you of, Sister Dong'er, but I don't know if I should say it."
Recalling the scene in the Heaven Dou Arena, Su Ze frowned, feeling that he had something on his mind and had to remind this relatively naive girl.
"Speak up, what is there between us that we should or shouldn't say? We've made a promise to spend the rest of our lives together!"
Bibi Dong tilted her head, looking like a pure and innocent girl from her youth, making people's hearts flutter.
Even Su Ze's heart, which had been single for so long, fluttered: thump~
"Phew, this might be related to your teacher."
"You might think I'm overthinking things, or even that I'm slandering your teacher, but I have to tell you that you need to take this seriously."
Su Ze's expression turned very serious, as if he were about to explain a life-or-death matter to Bibi Dong.
This made Bibi Dong nervous as well: Teacher? Teacher Qian Xunji? What happened to him?
"Brother Su Ze, just tell me, I believe you."
Bibi Dong nodded. Su Ze was such a friendly and skilled person that he had no reason to deceive her. She could trust him unconditionally.
"When you amazed everyone in the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition, and your ten-thousand-year soul skill was invincible, your teacher also showed a proud expression."
"Yes, he has always hoped that I could surpass other people my age and create a miracle. He doesn't like me to have too much contact with other people my age. This was the case when Senior Yu Xiaogang was still alive. But I know that he was doing it for my own good."
Su Ze shook his head: "But I always feel that he's acting strangely towards you. That look in his eyes feels familiar; it's like that of a criminal, a villain. I want you to promise me that you'll always be wary of him. I'm worried he might do something outrageous in the future..."
Thinking back to my former roommates, they had that same look in their eyes when they looked at anime/manga characters in the dorm...
Su Ze suspected that Qian Xunji's desire to 'purify the peach' had not died!
At that moment, he saw the lust hidden in his eyes, the desire to cultivate!
But since nothing actually happened, he didn't say anything, and could only kindly remind Bibi Dong.
Upon hearing Su Ze's words, Bibi Dong pondered for a moment, seemingly understanding his meaning. However, she felt mostly joy:
