Spirit Hall's Intervention
"Yes!"
The generals all accepted the order in unison.
Just in case.
Xia Yang then looked at the composed Sea Horse Douluo beside him and said, "I request that Senior Seahorse accompany us secretly, and not reveal himself unless absolutely necessary, so as to provide support."
Sea Horse Douluo nodded and said, "That's how it should be."
The Celebration Banquet ended hastily.
The previous laughter and cheerful conversation were replaced by a tense and solemn atmosphere, and the entire Fasnuo City began to operate at high speed like a precise machine.
Food, weapons, and medicine were continuously transferred from the warehouses, loaded onto trucks, and transported to the Southern Front.
At dawn the following day, Sea Spear Douluo, clad in armor Holding a spear, led an army of 30,000 men out of the city gates in a grand procession. The sound of hooves and footsteps merged into a rolling torrent as they galloped toward Notting City.
Amidst the swirling dust, a sharp aura soared straight into the sky.
Xia Yang stood atop the city wall, watching the army depart into the distance. His gaze was calm, yet more profound than ever before.
Star Luo Empire's sudden intervention cast a shadow of uncertainty over this land that had just begun to calm down.
Inside the City Lord Manor, Xia Yang had just finished his morning cultivation and pushed open the door of the cultivation room to walk out.
The morning light streamed through the corridor windows and fell upon him, giving Xia Yang a touch of winter warmth.
Afterwards, Xia Yang stretched his limbs and headed towards the Dining room.
By this time, the family was already seated around the dining table.
Mother Huo Yang served Xia Yang a bowl of hot porridge and said softly, "Sea Spear Douluo has been gone for over a month. Judging by the time, they should have reached the front lines by now."
Father Xia Shi put down his bowl, his brow furrowed slightly, and said, "I wonder how the situation is at the front. I have a feeling this battle won't be easy."
Liu Erlong picked up the conversation, his tone tinged with worry, and said, "Huo Yun is, after all, the Grand Elder of the White Tiger Sect."
"As one of the Lower Four Sects, the White Tiger Sect has a profound foundation, and Huo Yun's strength is definitely not weak."
"I think this battle against Sea Spear Douluo is going to be quite something."
Xia Shi sighed, about to say something, when Tang Yuehua gently comforted him, "Mom and Dad, don't worry too much. Didn't Brother Xia arrange for Sea Horse Douluo to go with us?"
"With two Titled Douluo in command of the Southern Army, we at least won't suffer any losses."
These words eased Xia Shi and Huo Yang's expressions slightly; they nodded and continued eating with their heads down.
The Dining room fell silent for a moment, with only the soft clinking of bowls and chopsticks.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside.
"Report--"
The report, growing louder as it approached, broke the morning's tranquility.
Soon, the old steward Liu Feng led in a young Soul Master dressed in the white robes of a Deacon of the Spirit Hall.
Liu Feng walked to Xia Yang's side and whispered, "Young Master, this is someone sent by the Spirit Hall."
Xia Yang put down his chopsticks and turned around to carefully examine the envoy in front of him.
At this moment, Xia Yang's mind raced.
"Could it be that Heaven Dou City has sought help from the Spirit Hall?"
"If that's the case, then the situation becomes quite complicated."
Thinking of the unfathomable power of the Spirit Hall's elders, Xia Yang felt a surge of irritation.
If the Spirit Hall really intervenes forcefully, even with the support of Sea God Island, our side will still be at a disadvantage in terms of top-tier combat power.
Unless Great Offering Bo Saixi personally leaves Sea God Island to provide support, Xia Yang and his group will find it difficult to confront the Spirit Hall head-on.
After quickly clearing his mind, Xia Yang smiled gently.
Then, he said to the young Soul Master, "So you are an envoy from the Spirit Hall. You've come from afar. You must be tired."
"I wonder if you have come here on the Pope's orders?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the Dining room turned their attention to the young envoy.
The young envoy was clearly nervous; his Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed.
He took a deep breath before steadying his voice and said, "Mister Xia, you're too kind. I'm just a lowly messenger; I don't deserve the title of envoy."
"I have come here on the orders of Bishop Salas Heaven Dou City to deliver a message to you, sir."
"Bishop Salas?"
Information about this White Gold Bishop immediately came to Xia Yang's mind.
Salas, who is stationed in Heaven Dou City, already possesses Soul Power at the Soul Douluo level and is a well-known figure in the original work.
The fact that he personally sent someone here must mean it's no small matter.
"What advice does Bishop Salas have?"
Xia Yang quickly asked.
The young messenger replied respectfully, "His Holiness the Bishop invites Mister Xia to meet him Fasnuo City; he has been waiting there for some time."
"Have we arrived?"
Xia Yang's expression turned serious, and he immediately stood up.
The people around the table also stood up.
Seeing this, the envoy asked somewhat uneasily, "Then, sir, do you mean...?"
"Please Your Excellency a moment, sir. I will make some arrangements and then accompany you out of the city to meet Bishop Salas."
After Xia Yang finished speaking, he gestured to Uncle Liu.
The old steward understood and led the messenger to rest.
After the envoy left, the atmosphere in the Dining room immediately became heavy.
Xia Shi voice, "The sudden visit of the Spirit Hall, I wonder if it's a blessing or a curse?"
Huo Yang looked at his son and said in a serious tone, "Yang'er, since you've decided to go see Salas, I suggest you bring a few Titled Douluo with you."
"Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Illusion Douluo should both be in the manor right now. Perfect, they can go with you, just in case."
"Good."
Xia Yang nodded in agreement.
Huo Yang added, "When you meet and talk, you must control your emotions."
"The Spirit Hall has always acted forcefully, and the conditions they propose may be quite harsh, so you should be prepared."
Xia Yang smiled and said, "Mom, you truly deserve to be called a former Black-Clothed Bishop; you know them so well."
"You brat, still joking at a time like this."
Although Huo Yang scolded her verbally, his eyes held a concerned smile.
Xia Yang's smile faded, and he said seriously, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
After leaving the Dining room, Xia Yang went straight to Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Illusion Douluo and briefly explained the situation.
Upon hearing that the Spirit Hall had sent people, the two Titled Douluo both became serious and expressed their willingness to accompany them.
Before long, Xia Yang, accompanied by two Titled Douluo, followed the Spirit Hall envoy out of the city gate.
The group walked towards a small grove of trees about a kilometer Outside the city.
From afar, Xia Yang could see that several people were already waiting in the woods.
The leader, dressed in White Gold Bishop's robe, was none other than Salas.
The two people standing behind him, though simply dressed, Soul Power Fluctuation that was impossible to ignore.
Xia Yang felt a chill run down his spine. "Two Titled Douluo?"
"I just don't know whether these two are from the Elder Hall or the even more unfathomable Worship Hall."
Then, Xia Yang observed intently and discovered that the two people looked quite similar, like twin brothers.
