A Startling Declaration
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ning Fengzhi replied politely.
Yu Yuanzhen, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo, the three Titled Douluo standing to the side, nodded in agreement.
Then, Ning Fengzhi and the other three took their seats.
Upon seeing the arrival of all the experts from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, the six members of the Clear Sky Sect School did not look too good.
Because that set of Spirit Bone Set has disappeared, if they can't reach an agreement later, a major battle might break out.
The stronger the opponent, the more disadvantaged the Clear Sky Sect becomes. Therefore, Tang Xiao and the others looked somewhat grim.
Now everyone is here!
This meeting touched upon the issue of disposing of the Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set, and the four major powers— the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan— were all extremely cautious.
This is the only known complete Spirit Bone Set in the Douluo Continent, and it is 50,000 years old, all from the same type of Soul Beast, making it extremely rare.
If someone were to fuse with this Spirit Bone Set, they would surely be able to reach the Titled Douluo realm in the future, and might even be able to break through to the level of the Hundred Thousand!
The whereabouts of the Soul Bone is extremely important!
Everyone's here!
"Now that key figures from all four factions are present, I hereby announce that the discussion on the disposal of the Soul Bone shall begin now!"
Xue Ye addressed the crowd, his majestic voice booming throughout the hall.
It should be noted that in this life, Xue Ye is not secretly given slow-acting poison by Qian Renxue or the Porcupine Douluo.
Therefore, Xue Ye is in good health and can live for another ten or twenty years without any problem!
Therefore, the majestic dragon aura of Xue Ye made everyone want to worship him.
Even though his cultivation level wasn't that of Titled Douluo, his aura and pressure were no weaker than those of Titled Douluo!
"Sect Leader Tang, and elders, could you please present those six pieces of Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone to everyone for a look, so that we may all see them?"
Then, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family looked in the direction where the Clear Sky Sect Master and elders were sitting and spoke politely.
As soon as Xue Ye finished speaking, six guards quickly carried up a large, antique-style square table from the side hall and placed it in an open space in front of Xue Ye!
"Are the six Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone about to be reborn?!"
"I was deeply shocked when I saw it from afar at the auction that day. I never imagined that in the blink of an eye, that rare Soul Bone would belong to our Heaven Dou Empire!"
"I can't wait to see the Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set again. I'm once again amazed by its aura and appearance!"
"I didn't see the Spirit Bone Set last time, but I'm finally going to see it today! I can't wait!"
"."
The ministers' eyes gleamed with anticipation, eager to see the true form of the six Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone once more!
Like his ministers, Xue Ye was filled with anticipation.
As the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, it was clearly inappropriate for Xue Ye to personally attend the auction.
Therefore, Xue Ye did not know what the Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone looked like.
"Six Soul Bone from the same type of Soul Beast, I really can't wait to see them!"
Xue Ye thought to himself.
As the saying goes, "The face reflects the heart," and at this moment, Xue Ye couldn't help but show a hopeful expression, wanting to see the true appearance of the Soul Bone.
Tang Xiao of the Clear Sky Sect and the five elders naturally noticed the expectant emotions of Xue Ye and the expectant eyes of the ministers in the hall.
This immediately put Tang Xiao and the others in an even more awkward position, and their expressions became even more unpleasant!
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen also cast their gazes toward the Clear Sky Sect, clearly waiting for a response from the Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Xiao and the five elders of the Clear Sky Sect looked at each other in bewilderment.
As the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao naturally had to step forward and speak!
Although it would be difficult to talk about the Soul Bone, it is still necessary to explain it to everyone and provide a satisfactory explanation and solution.
Tang Xiao took a deep breath, adjusting himself to his best state, and a sharp glint flashed in his majestic eyes.
Then, Tang Xiao stood up!
"Your Majesty, Sect Master Ning, Sect Master Yu, and Your Excellencies Sword and Bone, I have something to say about this Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone!"
Tang Xiao, the Clear Sky Sect, revealed a serious expression on his sharp face.
His serious expression commanded respect from everyone present, who listened attentively.
Everyone knew that the serious Tang Xiao was about to say something of profound importance, so they listened attentively!
Seeing Tang Xiao's solemn expression, Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen, and the others also became serious.
"I have a bad feeling about this!"
Xue Ye raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself.
The expressions of Tang Xiao and the five elders of the Clear Sky Sect gave off a heavy feeling, as if something big had happened!
Xue Ye keenly sensed this and therefore felt a sense of foreboding.
Not only Xue Ye, but also Ning Fengzhi, Dugu Bo, Xue Luochuan, and some ministers who were good at reading people noticed something amiss!
In short, everyone was listening attentively at that moment!
Sure enough, what happened next...
Tang Xiao's words were astonishing!
"This Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set has a defect!"
"Our Clear Sky Sect is very sorry for this!"
"Because, just two days ago, the Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set stored in the storage belt disappeared without warning!"
"Even our Titled Douluo elders didn't notice anything amiss. Yes, they simply vanished into thin air!"
"I can tell you all with full confidence that our Clear Sky Sect has launched a series of investigations into this matter. There is absolutely no one who is hoarding Soul Bone; rather, the problem lies with the six pieces themselves!"
"This is unfortunate news. Our Clear Sky Sect is also a victim. We hope everyone can remain rational!"
Tang Xiao, with a grave expression, addressed the crowd.
His calm voice echoed in the hall, making the listeners' heads buzz, as if they were experiencing an incredible encounter.
The six Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bones have vanished?!
This was even more shocking and astonishing than when the news of the birth of the six Soul Bone was first learned.
Everyone knew that the disappearance of the Spirit Bone Set meant that the 1.5 billion Gold Soul Coin had gone down the drain!
Meanwhile, the fact that the four major powers of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and the Clear Sky Sect joined forces to bid is a joke!
The ministers were stunned, their eyes wide open, unable to believe the news.
Meanwhile, some people believe that this is just an excuse made up by the Clear Sky Sect.
This group believes that the Clear Sky Sect is acting like a rogue, trying to monopolize the six rare Soul Bone, which is simply too hypocritical!
"Xue Ye, Sect Master Ning, Sect Master Yu, and everyone else, I am very sorry!"
Tang Xiao apologized again, his face full of remorse.
Then, Tang Xiao sat back down and waited for the Emperor and other key figures to speak.
After listening to Tang Xiao's account of today's events, Xue Ye's expression darkened, and his imperial eyes flickered.
A moment of silence fell over the room.
Goodnight everyone! It's the last day of the month, wishing you all the best!
