Qian Daoliu's compromise
Spirit City.
Only after promising not to do anything foolish did Yu Luomian release Liu Erlong.
However, Yu Tianheng, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing were forcibly taken back by their respective elders.
The Spirit Hall isn't pursuing their responsibility out of consideration for their respective power levels. Do they really think they can still cause trouble in Spirit City?
Yu Xiaogang and his group did not leave.
They stayed overnight on the street, constantly inquiring about Tang San's whereabouts.
In a corner of the street, Tailong and Taila were discussing their plan to rescue Tang San.
Oscar stood silently to the side.
Originally, he was even planning to kneel before the Spirit Hall, but to his surprise Bibi Dong didn't hold him accountable and even let them leave.
Having already harbored rebellious thoughts, he felt there was no need for him to stay there any longer.
However, due to Liu Erlong's fury, he has not yet submitted his resignation.
Liu Erlong asked without any hesitation, "Yu Xiaogang, weren't you imprisoned in the Sky Prison before? Do you know the layout inside the Sky Prison? Let's go and rescue Little San."
Yu Xiaogang coughed lightly and said in a deep voice, "No, breaking into the Sky Prison is a dead end."
"There are Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall guarding that place; even His Your Eminence Clear Sky wouldn't be able to break them out."
Speaking of Tang Hao, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
The once-renowned Clear Sky Douluo was killed by a powerful figure from the Spirit Hall.
Was Tang Hao undeserving of his reputation, or was the Spirit Hall simply too powerful?
There's no point in discussing this now. Yu Xiaogang only hopes to rescue Tang San, then hide away and secretly develop his strength, waiting for the right time to destroy the Spirit Hall.
Yu Xiaogang's first thought was the Clear Sky Sect.
Although they have retired from the world, their core disciples still exist.
After news of Tang Hao's death spread, the Clear Sky Sect will definitely take some action.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The Spirit Hall's public killing of Tang Hao was a demonstration of their power.
We must unite all forces that can be united, or the continent will surely be annexed by the Spirit Hall!
Meanwhile, Worship Hall.
The allocation of Tang Hao's Soul Bone sparked a fierce argument among the Enshrined Elders, who failed to reach a consensus.
It should be noted that Tang Hao inherited the title of "Haotian" and all of his Soul Bone are high-age Soul Bone, including a Ninety Thousand Years - Torso Spirit Bone.
With so many high-quality Soul Bone, Azure Luan Douluo and Subduing Demon Douluo tended to give one to each of the Enshrined Elders to enhance their strength.
Qian Daoliu, for the sake of internal stability, decided to take out Three Soul Bones and distribute them to the Papal Hall.
It's obvious to anyone with eyes to see that Qian Daoliu is pursuing Appeasement Policy.
This means satisfying Bibi Dong's appetite and postponing the outbreak of conflict between the Worship Hall and the Papal Hall.
His plan was to wait until Qian Renxue's undercover operation was over, then take over the Heaven Dou Empire, return to the Spirit Hall, and undergo the Angel God's test.
After that, let her take over the power of the Spirit Hall, and gradually squeeze Bibi Dong out of the core power layer.
Doing so carries enormous risks; no one can guarantee that Qian Renxue's cultivation speed in the later stages will surpass that of Bibi Dong.
"Brother, the internal problems will only get worse. Are you really going to do this?" The speaker was the Fourth Enshrined Mighty Lion Douluo.
He rarely spoke, but he really couldn't understand Qian Daoliu's actions this time.
By enhancing the strength of everyone in the Worship Hall, even if they turn against each other in the future, they will still be able to deal with Bibi Dong.
But the problems that Qian Daoliu had to consider were far more complex than theirs.
First, Bibi Dong underwent the test of the Deity, Qian Daoliu had already sensed this through the Angel Divine Power.
He didn't know the progress of Bibi Dong's assessment, but he was certain that with Bibi Dong's Talent, she would likely receive nine assessments.
It's important to understand that Soul Master's strength undergoes a qualitative change after breaking through level 100. The gap between Level 99 and level 100 is like an insurmountable chasm.
At this time, easing tensions with Bibi Dong means preventing her from immediately attacking the Worship Hall after breaking through level 100, thus buying Qian Renxue time to cultivate.
Therefore, whether it was Appeasement Policy or admitting defeat, he dared not be too tough on Bibi Dong in this matter.
Qian Daoliu pressed his hand down, ending the argument, and made the final decision. "Give half to Bibi Dong. Of the Three Soul Bones remaining, give one to Qiangu Changkong and Jin Yuting. Keep the last one as a future reward."
Among those offered sacrifices, only Golden Crocodile Douluo and Thousand Jun Douluo had offspring, and Qian Daoliu bestowed Soul Bone upon them in exchange for their compromise.
The Worship Hall couldn't disobey his wishes, so they could only passively accept them.
Ultimately, the torso bones, as well as the Left Leg Spirit Bone, were preserved as offerings. These were the three Soul Bone with the highest age among them. The remaining Soul Bone were given to Bibi Dong.
After the Soul Bone were removed from Tang Hao's body, he was directly cremated and sent to the Douluo Hall.
As for the head, to extract the Soul Bone, the head had to be smashed, so there was no need for burial. The two Soul Bone were given to Bibi Dong along with the head.
Tang San, who is currently Sky Prison, has not been released yet.
The Azure Luan Douluo promised to release the person, but did not specify when.
Currently, the Battle Team from the Heaven Dou Empire region have not yet left. Sending Tang San away now would inevitably invite retaliation.
Leaving it in the Sky Prison is a form of protection.
Two days later, at the Papal Hall.
Following the conclusion of the tournament, Bibi Dong summoned the Golden Generation for the first time.
Hu Liena and the other two kept their heads down, seemingly anticipating the "Storm" that was about to break.
As expected, Bibi Dong gave the three of them a good scolding.
Of the Three Soul Bones awarded in the competition, two came from the Spirit Hall's treasury, while the Skull Spirit Bone belonged to the Papal Hall.
Due to Qian Daoliu's obstruction, Bibi Dong had no choice but to become the prize for the competition.
But now that the Spirit Hall Team has lost the match, and the Soul Bone has become the Seven Treasures Team's prize, how could she not be angry?
However, after obtaining Three Soul Bones from Tang Hao, her anger subsided considerably.
After lecturing Hu Liena and the other two for a few minutes, her emotions gradually calmed down.
"Go and hone your skills in the Lost Grand Canyon. Don't let me down."
The Lost Grand Canyon is far more dangerous than Death Canyon; it's no exaggeration to say that it's almost certain death.
Hu Liena and the others lowered their heads, all harboring no hope for the trials to come.
Bibi Dong didn't say much. With a wave of her hand, she threw the two Soul Bone and Tang Hao's head in front of the three of them.
"I do not wish to hear any more news of failure! Once the trial begins, Ghost Panther Elder and Elder Lingyuan will secretly follow you."
"Remember, they will not help you save people, nor will they help you complete your training."
"Once you die, the two Elder Council reclaim all the Soul Bone from your bodies!"
These Three Soul Bones, though the youngest, are still over 50,000 years old.
If the three die during their trials, resulting in the abandonment of the Three Soul Bones, it would undoubtedly be a major loss for the Papal Hall.
Whether Bibi Dong was truly heartless enough to let the two Elder stand by and watch her die remains unknown.
After obtaining the Soul Bone, Hu Liena and the other two knew they were "deeply sinful" and repeatedly made promises.
Hu Liena even made a solemn vow. "Teacher, if I fail this trial, even if I miraculously survive, I will commit suicide in front of the Papal Hall!"
