The Liu Family's Terrifying Strength

After classes ended that day, Zhao Xiaotian headed toward his dormitory, intending to get some proper rest. Just then, Liu Baibin stopped him. "Zhao Xiaotian, come with me for a moment!"

Zhao Xiaotian nodded. "Alright!"

Zhao Xiaotian then followed Liu Baibin out of Spirit Academy. This scene was seen by an expert from the Papal Palace who had been secretly protecting Zhao Xiaotian. He wanted to quickly return to the Papal Palace and report the situation to Pope Bibi Dong.

Just as he was about to leave, a finger pressed against his forehead. The man was Liu Han, sent by the Liu Family to protect Zhao Xiaotian. He said coldly, "Ghost Leopard, it has been a while."

Ghost Leopard Douluo swallowed. "You are Liu Han, the Liu Family's Sixth Elder!"

"That's right, it is this old man! I warn you not to do anything you will regret. Our Liu Family is not something you can stand against!"

Ghost Leopard Douluo said, "B-but the Holy Son is the Pope's..."

"Enough! Zhao Xiaotian is our Liu Family's nephew. He will never be Bibi Dong's son! Go back and tell your Pope that Xiaotian only needs the protection of our Liu Family."

Ghost Leopard Douluo looked troubled and wanted to say more, but Liu Han had already vanished from his sight. He no longer hesitated and hurried toward the Papal Palace.

Some time later, Ghost Leopard Douluo reported everything to Bibi Dong in full detail. Bibi Dong flew into a rage and rebuked him, "I told you to protect Xiaotian, and this is how you protect him? Xiaotian was taken away right under your nose, yet you came running back to report to me like an idiot!"

Ghost Leopard Douluo lowered his head, not daring to look Bibi Dong in the eye. Bibi Dong rubbed her brow and said, "Go to the Worship Hall! Summon all the Elders to gather at the Papal Palace!"

Ghost Leopard Douluo immediately got up to notify the other Elders to assemble. Even Chrysanthemum Douluo, Yue Guan, who was away on a mission, sensed the token at his waist vibrating.

In the Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu, the other Offerings, and the Hall of Elders' seven great Elders gathered together. They intended to set out for the White Shadow Sect and bring Zhao Xiaotian back.

Qian Daoliu was very fond of Zhao Xiaotian, his adopted grandson, and strongly approved of Bibi Dong's decision. Although he did not know the Liu Family's true strength, he confidently believed that Spirit Hall was inferior to no faction.

Meanwhile, Liu Baibin brought Zhao Xiaotian out of Spirit City and arrived at a place called the White Shadow Sect. The moment Zhao Xiaotian entered, he was locked onto by the auras of more than twenty Titled Douluo.

Zhao Xiaotian felt his body sink, as though something immensely heavy were pressing down on him. Just as he was about to collapse, an elderly grandmother over a hundred years old walked out and scattered the Soul Power aura pinning him down with a single palm strike.

Zhao Xiaotian was puzzled about who this elder was, so he asked, "Hello, Senior. May I ask who you are?"

Before he received a reply, Liu Baibin, standing beside him, said, "She is my grandmother, and our mother's grandmother as well!"

Zhao Xiaotian said in confusion, "I have never heard any news about my father."

Old Madam Liu said, "Child! Liu Qin'er should have given birth to you within the clan before she left back then!"

As she spoke, large tears rolled down Old Madam Liu's face. Zhao Xiaotian looked on helplessly, not knowing what he should do.

At that moment, Liu Zhenyan, the current family head, stepped forward and said gently, "You are the Liu Family's first nephew, and our only nephew. As your mother's family, we searched for you for a long time back then as well."

Zhao Xiaotian took a step back. "I don't know what you are talking about!"

"Child! I am your mother's grandmother! I am your great-grandmother!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaotian seemed to be struck by lightning and dropped to his knees. His kneeling stunned Old Madam Liu, Liu Baibin, Liu Zhenyan, and the twenty-two great Elders of the Liu Family who had just emerged.

Seeing such a handsome child kneeling before the old family head, they were somewhat puzzled. At that moment, someone named Liu Ming stepped forward. When he saw the child kneeling on the ground, those eyes looked so familiar to him.

In a single stride, he rushed forward and embraced Zhao Xiaotian, tears in his eyes as he cried, "Xiaotian! I have finally found you!"

Zhao Xiaotian asked again in confusion, "You are?"

Liu Ming released Zhao Xiaotian and introduced himself. "My name is Liu Ming, your maternal grandfather. I am a Level 97 peak attack-type Titled Douluo, known as White Flame."

At that moment, an angel feather suddenly descended from the sky, and the entire White Shadow Sect instantly entered Level One alert. Liu Ming shielded his grandson behind him, and two yellow, two purple, three black, and two red soul rings appeared around him.

Zhao Xiaotian stared with his mismatched black-and-white eyes at that terrifying soul ring configuration. Above the sky appeared the figures of Qian Daoliu and eight thousand members of the Angel Legion.

At the White Shadow Sect's mountain gate, there were also six Offerings and seven Elders leading Spirit Hall's elite Soul Master legion. Pope Bibi Dong stood at the very front of the Titled Douluo, coldly staring at the White Shadow Sect's plaque.

Over the years, Zhao Xiaotian had only called Bibi Dong "Mother" a few times. The total number over those years could be counted on one hand. But why did Zhao Xiaotian feel that Bibi Dong would care so much about him?

When he had gone with Bibi Dong to hunt for soul rings, he had not known how worried Bibi Dong had been for his safety while he absorbed the soul rings.

Old Madam Liu's expression darkened at the sight. She stomped her cane against the ground, and the mighty Soul Power of a Level 98 instantly erupted. One yellow, two purple, five black, and one red soul ring appeared, shocking the Soul Masters who had come with Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong was likewise stunned by Old Madam Liu's soul ring configuration. Although Bibi Dong possessed Twin Martial Souls, her first Martial Soul's soul rings followed the usual configuration of a Titled Douluo. Only her ninth soul ring had cost her countless hardships to obtain, reaching the Hundred Thousand Year level.

As Bibi Dong was still in shock, the Liu Family's twenty-two Titled Douluo Elders leaped into the air together and released their soul rings. Their configurations were all as terrifying as Liu Ming's: two yellow, two purple, three black, and two red.

Upon seeing such soul ring configurations, fear appeared on the faces of Spirit Hall's Soul Masters. Seeing that the people she had brought were losing their nerve, Bibi Dong shouted, "Those who flee before battle will be killed without mercy!"

The Spirit Hall Soul Masters who had been afraid immediately regained their fighting spirit and summoned their Martial Souls. As the current family head, Liu Zhenyan slowly summoned his own soul rings. The same configuration as Liu Ming's appeared once more.

Liu Zhenyan extended his hand. "Ninth Soul Skill! Heaven-Covering White Shadow!"

"Wait!"

Qian Daoliu loudly stopped Liu Zhenyan from activating his skill. Liu Zhenyan said unhappily, "Qian Daoliu! I gave you respect because you are an elder, but you have gone too far today!"

Old Madam Liu walked out from behind him with a grim face. "Although our Liu Family does not have a Level 99 Limit Douluo, we are not a force that just anyone can provoke! If you truly drive us to desperation, the day our White Shadow Sect emerges into the world will be the day your Spirit Hall meets its end!"

Bibi Dong said furiously, "What audacity!"

"Silence!"

Qian Daoliu roared angrily, then turned his gaze toward Golden Crocodile. "Golden Crocodile, take everyone we brought back to Spirit City. What happened today must not be spread. If anyone is found to have leaked it, kill them without mercy!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded. "Yes, Great Enshrined Elder!"
