A Guess

Sect Master Tang Xiao and the five elders watched from inside the room on the high platform.

Even though they had six Titled Douluo powerhouses, they still dared not act rashly and rush to fight the Nine-Headed Fire Qilin.

One reason is that the Nine-Headed Fire Qilin seems incredibly powerful.

On the other hand, it's because other forces haven't made any moves yet, so their Clear Sky Sect can't be the first to step forward.

The same thing was happening on the other side of the Clear Wind Manor: people occupying the high-rise apartments of ordinary citizens.

Xue Ye, Prince Xue Xing, Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen, and the three Titled Douluo, Poison, Bone, and Sword, also used force to occupy a high-rise building with an excellent view.

When Xue Ye and his entourage appeared, the owner of the tall building was quite frightened.

The owner of the tall building knew he had encountered a powerful Soul Master today, so he didn't dare utter a word and simply handed the building over to the other party.

He thought that if he gave it up voluntarily, he would be fine.

However, just to be on the safe side, Sword Douluo Chen Xin directly struck him on the head with a chop, knocking him unconscious.

And so, the Heaven Dou Empire observed the Nine-Headed Fire Qilin high in the sky from inside a tall building.

Faced with this Soul Beast with over 100,000 years of cultivation, the Heaven Dou Empire, as the master of Heaven Dou City, would rather avoid fighting it than engage in battle!

Apart from the three forces present: Xue Ye, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Xue Ye's three sons, the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince, were all present!

The only one missing was His Highness the First Prince Xue Qinghe.

At this moment, Xue Ye's expression was already somewhat displeased.

"What did Xue Qinghe go to do?"

"Why haven't they arrived yet?"

"He didn't even show up for the meeting in the palace, and now we're right in front of the Ferocious Beast, and he still hasn't arrived!"

"Have you gone to summon them?"

Xue Ye asked the chief eunuch beside him, his tone somewhat unpleasant.

Xue Qinghe always seems to disappear at crucial moments, which really gives Xue Ye a headache and makes him feel that Xue Qinghe is unreliable.

"Your Majesty, someone has already informed His Highness the First Prince!"

"But... but..."

The chief eunuch bowed and replied, his words trailing off somewhat at the end.

"But what?"

Xue Ye immediately glared at him.

Meanwhile, the Second Prince, Third Prince, and Fourth Prince watched the show silently.

As for Prince Xue Xing, he shook his head, feeling that he had no temper left because of his nephew Xue Qinghe.

The Xue Ye, and the chief eunuch mustered his courage to answer.

"However, His Highness the First Prince is not at the residence!"

"We couldn't find him!"

"We have already sent people to search for His Highness the First Prince in the places he frequents..."

"It will probably take some time before His Highness the Crown Prince arrives!"

The chief eunuch replied respectfully, recounting everything he knew.

"This Xue Qinghe!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Ye angrily flicked his sleeve, feeling that Xue Qinghe was simply outrageous.

"I remember this Clear Wind Manor was Xue Qinghe's residence."

"Now that this Ferocious Beast has appeared above his house, Xue Qinghe hasn't come out to explain, but has disappeared without a trace!"

"This is outrageous!"

Xue Ye spoke with some dissatisfaction.

The chief eunuch was unaware of this matter.

"This servant doesn't know..."

The chief eunuch shook his head and responded in a somewhat weak tone.

At this moment, His Highness the Second Prince stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, I know some things!"

The Second Prince spoke in a very polite manner.

"Speak!"

Xue Ye narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly and spoke calmly.

"This Clear Wind Manor originally belonged to my eldest brother, but it was later sold to someone else!"

"The buyer was the very mysterious person who bid a high price for Catwoman at the Heaven Dou Auction House!"

"And this mysterious person has another special identity: he is the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall!"

The Second Prince reported the truth.

Upon hearing this, Xue Ye's expression immediately darkened.

"When did Xue Qinghe get involved with the Spirit Hall?!"

Xue Ye frowned slightly, somewhat displeased.

"Actually, it's not my fault, brother!"

"I have thoroughly investigated the relationship between the Clear Wind Manor and the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall!"

The Second Prince continued.

"Oh? Tell me about it!"

Xue Ye asked.

"Yes, Father!"

The Second Prince replied respectfully.

"That's right, when the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall arrived in Heaven Dou City, he stayed at the Between Mountains and Seas Hotel!"

"This Between Mountains and Seas Hotel is one of the hotel properties under my elder brother's name!"

"After that, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall wanted to acquire a mansion, so he went to the front desk of Between Mountains and Seas to entrust it to him!"

"It just so happened that my elder brother was selling one of his vacant houses around that time, which led to this deal!"

"We investigated at the time, and my older brother was unaware of it."

The Second Prince added that he did not take the opportunity to frame Xue Qinghe.

However, Xue Ye looked somewhat displeased upon hearing this!

"The Holy Son of the Spirit Hall?!"

"The sudden appearance of this 100,000-year-old Soul Beast above Clear Wind Manor might be related to this Holy Son of the Spirit Hall!"

"And behind the Holy Son stands the Spirit Hall!"

"Could this be a conspiracy by the Spirit Hall?!"

Xue Ye's expression was grim as he began to analyze the situation.

"Sect Master Ning, Sect Master Yu, what do you two think?"

Xue Ye glanced at Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen, then asked.

"Your Majesty is right!"

"However, 100,000-year-old Soul Beast are extremely rare. If the Spirit Hall learns of its whereabouts, they should capture it immediately!"

"How could we possibly allow this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to arrive alive in Heaven Dou City!"

"Moreover, this Ferocious Beast looks extremely fierce and there is absolutely no way it would obediently submit to the Spirit Hall and come to Heaven Dou City to commit evil!"

"Therefore, I believe this matter has nothing to do with the Spirit Hall!"

Ning Fengzhi a reasoned and well-founded analysis.

"My thoughts are the same as Sect Master Ning's!"

"This Ferocious Beast appeared suddenly; something must have attracted it!"

"Soul Beast that have reached this level will not easily appear in Soul Master's field of vision!"

"Even if it appears, it will bring carnage!"

"It seems that this Ferocious Beast is searching for something!"

Then, Yu Yuanzhen spoke.

"Um!"

Xue Ye nodded after hearing this.

Is there any possibility?

"This Holy Son of the Spirit Hall possesses something that attracts this Soul Beast that is over 100,000 years old!"

"So that's why this Ferocious Beast has been hovering above Clear Wind Manor for Jiujiu, refusing to leave?"

Xue Ye guessed.

"Your Majesty, you are right!"

"That's what I think too!"

"Soul Beast usually stay in the great forests and won't come to offend Soul Master City without a reason!"

"Now, it's out, and in such a special place!"

"This means there must be something wrong with the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall!"

Poison Douluo Dugu Bo standing to the side, spoke up at the opportune moment.
