162 Chapter 161 Bibi Dong’s Thoughts, Invitation
A few days later, the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
As soon as he entered the door, golden light shone within the hall, and Ghost Douluo shuddered inwardly, hastily speeding up his steps.
"Greetings Supreme Pontiff, greetings Great Worship." He saluted respectfully.
"How is it?" Qian Daoliu faintly asked.
Ghost Douluo slightly lowered his head, bending his waist a few more points, "Reporting to the Great Worship, that child Lin Manshan said that it's not suitable."
"Why?" Qian Daoliu frowned all of a sudden.
"Because that herb also contains an earth attribute." Ghost Douluo hurriedly relayed Lin Manshan's words.
After a moment of silence, Qian Daoliu nodded slightly and turned his head slightly to look at Bibi Dong, "Then it will be handed over to you to deal with."
"In addition, the subordinate has another important matter to report, it concerns the Clear Sky Clan." Not waiting for the Qian Daoliu to turn into golden light and leave, Ghost Douluo hurriedly opened his mouth. The agreement of not to actively attack the Clear Sky Clan's mountain was made by Qian Daoliu back then, and he felt that it was better for the parties involved to be present.
"Speak." The voice of Bibi Dong, who was sitting in the main seat, was crisp.
"According to Dugu Bo's transcription, Shrek Academy's student Tang San is..." Ghost Douluo narrated.
Adding five new Titled Douluo Elders, letting Tang San hunt a Spirit Hall Titled Douluo Elder on his own. After listening, Bibi Dong's gaze suddenly blazed, her face gloomy like an abyss, her beautiful hand slapped the edge of the seat, and her cold voice exploded in the great hall:
"Clear Sky Clan, what a Clear Sky Clan!"
When the words fell, she violently turned her head to look at Qian Daoliu whose face was equally gloomy: "Qian Daoliu, look at the good things you have done! If it wasn't for your momentary weakness back then, how would the situation have come to this."
"Now that you're raising a tiger, you should take the primary responsibility!"
Counting Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Clan has seven Titled Douluo in a clan, how much battle force must be deployed and how many people will be killed or injured to ensure the smooth annihilation of the Clear Sky Clan in a short period of time without revealing the news? Not counting the fact that she would have to divide her troops to deal with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Her plans were completely disrupted.
"In this matter, the Elder Hall will step in to assist..." Qian Daoliu's voice was sombre.
"Qian Daoliu!" Bibi Dong rose up from her seat, her tone carrying a hint of questioning, "At this point in time, you still want to keep that so-called gentleman's agreement?"
"Could it be that the life of our Spirit Hall Spirit Master is not a life? Do the Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo deserve to die?"
Qian Daoliu frowned, and finally uttered, "If necessary, I will make a move."
As the words fell, his figure turned into golden light and directly disappeared from the spot.
"Hmph!" Only then did Bibi Dong sit back in her seat, looking down at Ghost Douluo, her tone turned flat again.
"Elder Ghost, send someone to keep an eye on the latest movements of the four single attribute clans, Dugu Bo is a smart person, this move to take in will surely have a follow-up."
Saying this, her fingertip lightly tapped the edge of her seat, her complexion tinged with a hint of contemplation, speaking as if she was muttering to herself.
"Since Tang Hao intends for Tang San to subdue the four single-attribute clans, then when Niu Gao and Yang Wudi are invited to arrive at the Skywalker Academy, they will definitely be unable to sit still and make a move."
"The biggest possibility is to borrow the Tai Tan's hand to invite the two of them to the Strength clan's residence... To be precise, with their friendship, there will definitely be a gathering. At that time, when the three clans gathered, this would be an excellent opportunity for Tang Hao father and son to subdue them. In addition, Niu Gao and Yang Wudi would probably bring Bai He with them when they make their trip to Heaven Dou City, and then it would be a four-family gathering. If that's the case, Tang Hao father and son will be even less likely to let go of this opportunity."
Bai He is Tang Hao's uncle, and there is a high chance of success if they play the kinship card to subdue him. Tai Tan was loyal to Tang Hao, and his relationship with Niu Gao was also very good, together with Bai He's pushing on the side, there was also a chance of him being subdued. The only difficulty is Yang Wudi, but if they can successfully subdue the other three clans, Yang Wudi might also be persuaded. Thinking of this, Ghost Douluo's heart sank.
In that case, wouldn't Dugu Bo even help Tang Hao by extending this invitation?
"And how is this not an opportunity for my Spirit Hall." A brilliant light flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.
"Forget about the rest of the three clans for now, Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan has always held a deep grudge against the Clear Sky Clan, so if Tai Tan wants to rely on words to convince, I'm afraid that it won't be easy."
"And Tang Hao stepping in will only backfire."
"Only Tang San is a good breaking point. The Twin Martial Soul, along with the 10,000-year fourth spirit ring might be able to make Yang Wudi let go of the issue. But..." Bibi Dong laughed coldly, "No matter who they submit to, they will all relocate their clansmen to Heaven Dou City. By gathering in one place, won't they be easier to exterminate? Moreover, Tang San, as the son of Tang Hao, mixed up with the four single attribute clans, and thinking of recognising his ancestor, as long as we find an appropriate time to expose Tang San's identity, it's enough to make the Clear Sky Clan catch fire together."
"Hehe, Tang San, he is a son of a spirit beast!"
Colluding with spirit beasts with the intent to overthrow the spirit master world and the human race. A capital offence. Ghost Douluo's eyes immediately lit up.
Then he heard Bibi Dong's bland voice switch over again, "In addition, the Clear Sky Clan has added five new Titled Douluo in just over ten years, how did they do it?"
"Where did the ninth spirit ring come from? How many times did they violate the agreement and leave the secluded land in the background?"
"Are they secretly conspiring with the spirit beasts? Did they get the support of a hundred thousand-year-old spirit beast?"
"Sometimes suspicions can be more useful than actual evidence of murder."
Together with Tang San's real identity as the son of a spirit beast, a fake can become real. Thinking of this, Ghost Douluo suddenly had a feeling of clarity.
Hastily arching his hand, he spoke a round of rainbow farts, "Your Holiness thinks far-sighted, your subordinate is not that capable."
Bibi Dong glanced at him and said indifferently, "On the side of Skywalker Academy, since Dugu Bo wants to try to subdue them, then let him have his way. If he can subdue one of the clans, divide the four clans, and cut down their core combat power, it won't be a bad thing for my Spirit Hall."
It was better than making it cheaper for the Clear Sky Clan and increasing the difficulty of the siege. Ghost Douluo inwardly agreed.
"As for Tang Hao father and son, and Tang Yuehua, since Dugu Bo has a way to monitor Shrek Academy and Moon Pavilion at close range through the Snake Driving Technique without being discovered, let's leave this matter to him. As for peripheral surveillance, Elder Ghost, this matter will be left to you to arrange." Speaking of this, Bibi Dong frowned slightly, "As for the other matters, they will remain unchanged for the time being, everything will wait until after the Spirit Master Tournament is over."
Now that the state of affairs had changed, she would have to take the time to make more detailed changes to the original plan before she could proceed.
"Yes!" Ghost Douluo hurriedly arched his hand.
"Retire. That herb, take it to Yan." After Bibi Dong finished speaking, she leaned her back against the throne and faked a nap, no longer speaking.
"Subordinate will retire." Ghost Douluo lightly answered and turned to leave.
Not long after, within a certain dormitory of the Martial Spirit Hall Academy, a pig-slaughtering scream came from the dormitory.
***
In September, the sun was scorching.
Star Luo Empire, Breaking Clan Residence.
"Old Rhino, what wind blew you here?" Yang Wudi smiled broadly and walked forward to greet him.
"Dugu Bo sent someone to hire me to help build the outer fortifications of his newly built academy, their academy is built in the mountains, and there are still many places inside that need to be stabilised and perfected, this is really something that my Defense Clan is good at."
Niu Gao recounted briefly.
"In addition, the visitor also asked me to come and invite you to come along and exchange ideas on pill refining."
"Hah, Dugu Bo's not trying to invite me to exchange insights, he's clearly trying to recruit me into his academy." Yang Wudi hummed, "However, there's no harm in going to visit. I heard that Dugu Bo's grandson-in-law, Lin Manshan, learnt medicine on his own at a young age, and now he's even reached the peak, not only curing the poison that had been stagnating in Dugu Bo's body for many years, leading to the evolution of his Martial Soul, but also comprehending a handful of very powerful alchemy techniques on his own. To be honest, I'm quite curious about the pill-refining techniques he has comprehended."
For a person who is passionate about pill refining, there is nothing more exciting than obtaining a rare herb and gaining a new understanding of a more powerful pill prescription or pill refining technique to follow. Lin Manshan's knowledge of pills and pill refining methods was rumoured to be so magical that even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Martial Spirit Hall willingly brought herbs to his door to exchange pills for herbs, so he was indeed quite curious. Of course, there was also a bit of defiance, wanting to compete.
Having learnt medicine for decades and practised medicine for decades, now it seemed as if he was still inferior to a teenage junior in the whole thing, which more or less made him feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"I also heard about this, it is rumoured that the pills he refined can be perfectly tailored to fit the individual's physique, quenching the body impurities without side effects, improving the cultivation qualifications, and also directly enhancing the spirit power level, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan leader's daughter's spirit power directly enhanced by more than 1 level after eating it." Niu Gao pointed out, "In addition, I heard that kid's innate spirit power was only level 3, his qualification was very poor, and he resolved his cultivation qualification by relying on his self-realised medical skills in a hard way. Breaking through Spirit Ancestor at a young age, now he is considered a celebrity on the continent."
Saying that he shook his head slightly with an odd expression on his face, "Nowadays, all the medicinal herbs on the continent have gone up in price because of him."
"So, old rhino, is your heart moved?" Yang Wudi asked rhetorically.
With superior talent and knowing how to refine pills without side effects to aid in cultivation, not to mention the fact that joining would benefit the clan. With Lin Manshan's own qualifications, it was also extremely possible for him to achieve Titled Douluo level in the future.
Together with Dugu Bo, self-preservation would definitely be no problem.
It was indeed a worthy investment.
"There are indeed some thoughts." Niu Gao nodded, then sighed, "Old goat, you also know the situation of our four single attribute clans nowadays, although the Martial Spirit Hall has not made a move, but who knows what will happen in the future? Ai, we old fellows, even if we don't think about ourselves, it's time to think about our clansmen. Now that Dugu Bo's martial soul has evolved, his battle power is so strong that even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the upper three clans is wary of him, and after knowing that Yu Xiaogang had offended Lin Manshan, he was directly removed from the clan's family tree."
"From this, it is obvious that the rumour of Dugu Bo possessing the ability to destroy clans and nations is not a falsehood."
"Most importantly, Skywalker Academy is a neutral force, and although Dugu Bo is eccentric, he is quite distinct in his grudges, and is a person worth befriending."
"However, his grandson-in-law Lin Manshan seems to have some personal ties with people from the Spirit Hall and is biased."
"That's why I came this time, I also wanted to ask for your opinion."
"I do think that boy is very good at keeping his debts and grudges clear. The only one he has made friends with is that Deacon of the Martial Spirit Hall Branch who helped him awaken his Martial Soul, and besides, didn't he pick up all of his foster parents' family back to Heaven Dou City? Sentimental and righteous, a man of honour. As for befriending the Martial Spirit Hall, it is not that serious, exchanging pills for herbs, it is just a trading exchange." Yang Wudi said indifferently.
"Moreover, as a neutral force, it is normal for one to be on the right and left side of the fence, isn't it?"
After saying that, he turned his head to look at Niu Gao and frowned slightly, "However, old Rhino, your worries about the future are not unreasonable."
"How about this, let's go over and take a look at the situation before making a decision?"
"Hmm." Niu Gao nodded and added, "Old Goat, why don't we call Old Bird on board as well? It's already September, and it's estimated that it'll be October by the time we arrive at Heaven Dou City by carriage. For this year's gathering, why don't we hold it at Old Gorilla's house."
"That's a good idea, I believe that's one of the reasons why you're moved." Yang Wudi smiled, slightly raising his chin, "If the four of us old guys can stay in one place, it's really not bad, at least there's a companion."
Saying that he raised his hand, "Come on, let's head in first and have a few drinks. When we have eaten and drunk enough, I'll explain the clan's affairs, and then we'll set off to find the old bird."
Niu Gao burst out laughing, "Haha, that's good! The medicinal wine you brewed, I've been thinking about it for a long time."
Yang Wudi glared swiftly, "What a good idea old bloke, I knew you didn't have a good intention."
The two hooked shoulders and walked into the house.
