Shadow Hall's Fangs!
As the invitations were delivered, the major factions began to stir.
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi stared blankly at the invitation in his hand. That figure had appeared before him without warning, handed him the invitation, and then left.
"Uncle Jian, do you know who that was just now?" Ning Fengzhi was still dazed, unable to react.
"A Title Douluo," Sword Douluo said coldly.
A Title Douluo had actually been sent to deliver an invitation!
"Shadow Hall... It seems we'll have to go take a look when the time comes, Uncle Jian." Ning Fengzhi flipped through the invitation and had no choice but to say so.
He was a businessman and valued profit above all else. He did not want to miss an opportunity like this. It would be best if they could forge ties with them; if not, they should at least avoid offending them.
Putting interests first meant he had to be cautious.
"When the time comes, I'll go with you," Sword Douluo said simply.
Ning Fengzhi nodded and put away the invitation. He was also curious—were those pills really that good?
At the same time, the same thing was happening at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Clear Sky Sect.
"How dare they provoke my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?!" Yu Yuanzhen snorted. Lightning gathered in one hand as he tried to shatter the Claw Shadow Soldier, but before he could strike, it vanished.
At the Clear Sky Sect, Sect Master Tang Zhan snorted coldly. "A mere newly established faction dares to tug at a tiger's whiskers? They truly don't know their place."
"First Elder, take Tang Hao and Tang Xiao to have a look. If possible, wipe out that so-called Shadow Hall."
"Hmph!"
Having suffered a setback at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Tang Zhan had been worrying over where to vent his frustrations. Now, someone had actually dared to provoke him.
"But... that was a Title Douluo just now. I'm afraid..." The First Elder broke out in a cold sweat and spoke hesitantly.
"Hmph. So what if they have a Title Douluo? If you can't destroy them, then teach them a lesson."
Tang Zhan spoke disdainfully. Not just anyone could provoke the Clear Sky Sect.
Xu Xin had no idea that sending invitations through the Claw Shadow Soldiers would lead to such a result. The intended intimidation had failed, but the provocation was more than enough.
Just like how Valmont in Jackie Chan Adventures could never understand why his Ninja Soldiers kept failing for no apparent reason.
Still, the process did not matter. The invitations had been delivered, after all.
Just tell him, wasn't the result correct?
However, Xu Xin did not care. So what if it had been a provocation? He was not afraid now.
Meanwhile, the Claw Shadow Soldier heading to Spirit Hall did not deliver the invitation to Qian Xunji. Instead, it ended up in Bibi Dong's hands.
At that moment, Bibi Dong had just returned to Spirit Hall after training outside.
"Master."
Bibi Dong called out to the man seated high above. The man raised his eyes slightly, and upon seeing Bibi Dong, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Dong'er is back."
"It seems Death Canyon wasn't enough to trouble you."
The man on the platform smiled faintly, his eyes filled with possessiveness toward Bibi Dong...
She had been raised by him...
And this man was none other than the current Pope, Qian Xunji!
"It was thanks to Elder Ju and Ghost Elder's protection," Bibi Dong said respectfully.
"They were only secondary. Everything was the result of your own efforts."
"Now that you're back, rest well. I'll give you a few days off."
Qian Xunji waved a hand and spoke casually.
"Thank you, Master. I actually wished to discuss this matter with you when I returned."
"A friend has invited me to attend a pill sale. I came back this time to ask Master for leave so I can go."
Bibi Dong spoke respectfully.
The current Bibi Dong had not experienced the events of the original story, so Qian Xunji naturally would not do anything to her. On the contrary, he doted on her excessively.
"Oh? A pill sale?"
"Go on, then. If you see anything suitable, buy it. We don't lack money."
Qian Xunji smiled indifferently and waved his hand dismissively.
"Thank you, Master."
After saying that, Bibi Dong withdrew.
After Bibi Dong left, Qian Xunji beckoned slightly. A ghostly figure slowly emerged. "Tell me, what has the Holy Maiden been doing? And what is this pill auction?"
Hearing Qian Xunji's words, Ghost Douluo respectfully explained, "It was Liu Erlong..."
After hearing Ghost Douluo's account, Qian Xunji finally relaxed. "As long as it isn't a man, it's fine. She's merely a child, nothing to worry about."
"By the way, how's that trash from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect doing?" Qian Xunji asked mockingly.
"He spends all day reading and does nothing else."
"He does ask about the Saintess from time to time."
Ghost Douluo reported.
"Hmph, a piece of trash dreaming of eating swan meat. What wishful thinking."
"Enough. Give him a beating in a few days and throw him out. No need to let him dirty Spirit Hall's floors."
Qian Xunji snorted coldly.
When Chrysanthemum Douluo had reported that this guy was a simp, he had genuinely worried that this trash might win Bibi Dong over, which was why he had deliberately kept him around—to prevent any unforeseen trouble. Now that he posed no threat, he could get lost.
What a waste of worry. I, Qian Xunji, would not spare any threat.
Qian Xunji simply did not know that simps got nothing in the end.
Within Sunset Forest, a road was gradually being laid. Though narrow, it led directly to the location of Shadow Hall.
At that moment, dozens of Bat Soldiers circled the towering structure of Shadow Hall. Several Claw Shadow Soldiers stood guard below, while Ninja Soldiers guarded the pills within the hall.
Before long, the major factions that had received invitations began to arrive.
"Uncle Jian, this must be the place. Let's go in and take a look."
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were closest to Sunset Forest, so they were the first to arrive.
The terrifyingly massive structure of Shadow Hall made Ning Fengzhi draw a sharp breath. This level of construction was likely comparable only to the Defense Clan of the Clear Sky Sect.
"Fengzhi, the ones guarding the entrance are all Titled Douluo. Those flying overhead are all Soul Kings."
With a sweep of his Spiritual Power, Sword Douluo immediately discerned the strength of the Bat Soldiers and Claw Shadow Soldiers.
"They're all Titled Douluo?" Ning Fengzhi was startled. To have Titled Douluo guarding the gate—what an extravagant display from Shadow Hall.
"Uncle Jian, let's proceed carefully."
Sword Douluo nodded. He knew what to do.
The Claw Shadow Soldiers did not stop the two of them and simply let them enter.
Soon after, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Clear Sky Sect, Heaven Dou Imperial Family, Star Luo Imperial Family, Ye Shengxin, and the others arrived one after another.
The people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had originally intended to stir up trouble, but the moment they saw the Titled Douluo at the entrance, they immediately lost their nerve. Yu Yuanzhen could only enter resentfully, fortunate that they had not been stopped.
The same went for the Clear Sky Sect. Tang Hao, who had originally intended to show off his skills, was immediately held back. Those Titled Douluo were watching their group like tigers eyeing prey.
One careless move, and their Clear Sky Sect might be wiped out here.
The last to arrive were Bibi Dong and her two companions.
As soon as they entered, everyone gathered around the pills inside the glass cases, yet no one dared to make a move.
The Ninja Soldiers surrounding them possessed the cultivation of Soul Sages, and a Ninja Soldier stood guard beside every type of pill.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong kept observing her surroundings, as though searching for someone. She showed little interest in the pills.
