One Hu Liena Can't Influence the Spirit Hall!

�Chapter 19: One Hu Liena Can't Influence the Spirit Hall!

A variable?

There could be no variables in the Spirit Hall!

Qian Renyu paid little attention to Gui Mei's secret warnings.

If Gui Mei knew there was a variable, there was no way he himself didn't. It was just that everything was still within his control.

After saying that to Tang San, he turned and headed back into Spirit City, choosing not to attack Tang San at that moment.

Leaving aside whether Tang Hao, who was behind them, could arrive in time if he made a move, the mere presence of Sword Douluo would prevent him from succeeding easily.

On the contrary, he would gain no real benefit and would be putting the entire Spirit Hall on the line. That would also go against the promise he had made to his Old Master.

Tang San's gaze was still filled with endless hatred. He watched Qian Renyu leave unharmed amid the greetings of the many Soul Masters in Spirit City, wishing he could invent Tang Sect's most powerful Hidden Weapons right then and unleash them on Qian Renyu.

"Third Brother, Mom needs treatment now. Let's go into the city first!"

Xiao Wu's voice brought Tang San back to reality.

Liu Erlong had first been gravely wounded, then had an arm severed by Qian Renyu. The massive blood loss made her condition look very serious.

Tang San nodded, but just as he was about to speak, Ning Rongrong said, "Third Brother, my father's here too. Let him treat Teacher Er Long first!"

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong looked toward her father.

Before Ning Rongrong could even ask for help, Ning Fengzhi had already stepped forward.

He still had great expectations for Tang San and regarded him with tremendous goodwill.

Ning Fengzhi stood at the edge of the crater and looked at Liu Erlong in Xiao Wu's arms. "Tang San, allow me to treat Liu Erlong first."

As he spoke,

Ning Fengzhi lightly tapped his cane against the ground.

In the next moment, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul appeared behind him.

At the same time, seven Soul Rings descended around him one after another.

Under Ning Fengzhi's treatment, Liu Erlong's snow-white face regained some color.

Gui Mei returned to the top of the city wall to continue watching Yu Xiaogang. He watched the others without trying to stop them.

Like a seated monk, as long as no one tried to rescue Yu Xiaogang at that moment, he had no need to act again.

Ning Fengzhi observed Gui Mei's actions. Seeing that Gui Mei made no move, he relaxed.

As he treated Liu Erlong, he looked toward Tang San.

"Tang San, keep your emotions in check."

"Given the circumstances, this is the best possible outcome!"

"This is Spirit City, after all. If Qian Renyu had attacked just now, no one here could have stopped him!"

Tang San nodded with a dark expression. "Sect Master Ning, I understand what you mean. But after something like this, it's hard to keep my emotions under control."

Ning Fengzhi sighed and said earnestly, "Fortunately, you provoked him just now. Otherwise, things wouldn't have reached this point."

"Now, if you truly still have the defiance to challenge fate, then you have only one option: win the Spirit Master Tournament championship!"

"When that time comes, the Spirit Hall won't dare to keep attacking you and defy public opinion!"

"If the Spirit Hall is still determined to strike then, it will prove that they're suppressing the talents of the world!"

"In that case, the Spirit Hall will lose the people's support!"

Tang San fell silent.

After pondering for a long time, he clenched his fists tightly.

"Rest assured, Sect Master Ning. I'm going to win the championship this time!"

"I'll make that guy called Qian Renyu eat his words!"

Tang San made his promise with unwavering conviction.

His gaze turned utterly resolute.

Beneath that resolute look, he seemed eager to slap Qian Renyu in the face.

Thinking of all the cards he held, he was even more certain in his heart that the moment to do so would come.

Sensing Tang San's fighting spirit, Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly. "In that case, I'll look forward to seeing Shrek Academy rise!"

"Rest assured, Sect Master Ning. Shrek will rise for sure!"

Meanwhile,

Qian Renyu had already returned to Pope's Palace.

Gui Mei was still watching over Yu Xiaogang, while Yue Guan remained by Qian Renyu's side.

Earlier, Gui Mei had sent Qian Renyu a message through Soul Power. He had also sent one to Yue Guan, telling him a few things.

Knowing what Gui Mei was worried about, Yue Guan was just as puzzled.

What he saw in Qian Renyu was unparalleled confidence, as though he didn't care at all about the problems within their own ranks.

With serious problems within their own faction, securing the Spirit Master Tournament championship would be many times harder than before.

If Tang San really led the Shrek Academy Team to victory in the end, that would be a complete laughingstock.

"Your Eminence, you don't seem concerned about the issues Old Gui brought up," Yue Guan asked gravely, gritting his teeth.

Qian Renyu sat on the papal throne and replied indifferently, "Yue Guan, do you think I need to be worried about something like this?"

Yue Guan was at a loss for words. Meeting Qian Renyu's gaze, he braced himself and said, "Your Eminence, you certainly don't need to worry about it. It's just that the variable in our Martial Soul Academy Team is quite unusual this time."

"Hu Liena is part of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation. She was also the previous Your Eminence's direct disciple, and she's one of the pillars of our Martial Soul Academy Team."

"Your Eminence took the previous Your Eminence's position as Pope. Hu Liena will likely hold that against you. If she competes while carrying strong personal feelings, it could easily affect the tournament."

At this, Yue Guan paused briefly.

He took a deep breath and continued, "Besides, our Martial Soul Academy Team is relying heavily on Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan."

"Hu Liena and Xie Yue's Martial Soul Fusion Skill is the real key to victory!"

"And Hu Liena is the one who leads their Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"

Qian Renyu listened quietly to Yue Guan's report.

It was clear that Yue Guan was genuinely worried about who would win the Spirit Master Tournament.

For a moment, his opinion of Yue Guan shifted.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei were indeed among the many Titled Douluo elders of the Spirit Hall who switched their allegiance with the wind.

Whoever became Pope, they bowed to them. It seemed their loyalty was never absolute.

But once they had bowed to someone, they still considered matters in terms of the Spirit Hall's overall interests. They were people who could be put to use.

There was no need to worry that people like them would do anything to harm the Spirit Hall.

After grasping Yue Guan's concerns, Qian Renyu finally spoke softly.

"One Hu Liena can't influence the Spirit Hall."

"Even without Hu Liena, the Martial Soul Academy can still function."

"I know how to handle this. Since you, Yue Guan, are concerned, go and deliver an order from me!"

Seeing Qian Renyu suddenly change the subject, Yue Guan was bewildered. "Your Eminence, what order do you want me to deliver?"

Qian Renyu said softly, "Tell Hu Liena to come meet me!"
