Shangguan Li was quite speechless, never expecting that the Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu would simply give up like this.
Shaohua was also utterly disbelieving. "You're just letting us go like this? Aren't you afraid Bibi Dong will cause you trouble afterward?"
"This old man would still fear her? If it weren't for the fact that she is Xue'er's mother, she wouldn't even have ascended to the position of Supreme Pontiff."
Qian Daoliu actually did not think very highly of Bibi Dong, but that person's innate talent was right there, forcing him to submit to her. Moreover, the Spirit Hall of that era simply needed someone to ascend to the position of Supreme Pontiff, and only Bibi Dong was the most suitable candidate.
It was also in consideration of Bibi Dong giving birth to an heir with the Angel Martial Soul that Qian Daoliu reluctantly recommended her for the position of Supreme Pontiff.
"Since you don't fear Bibi Dong, are you really here just to see Mom?" Shangguan Li asked.
Qian Daoliu smoothly accepted the premise. "That's right. Is it unnatural to take a look at someone who possesses the Angel Martial Soul? After all, I didn't expect that besides Spirit Hall, there would actually be another Angel Martial Soul."
"Rest assured, my Mom is no relative of yours, and don't you come over to bother our family either."
Shangguan Li spoke without a shred of politeness, showing zero respect for Qian Daoliu's status. So what if he was a respected senior? In Shangguan Li's eyes, Qian Daoliu was nothing more than a stranger she was meeting for the first time.
"You child certainly don't mince words, but it doesn't matter. Now, if you want to go, go ahead. Though by the time you get over there, everything should already be over."
Qian Daoliu had never intended to stop any of Shangguan Li's actions; his sole purpose was to buy time, and then take a look at the woman his grandson liked and the woman possessing the Angel Martial Soul.
Judging by what Qian Daoliu had observed, he was quite satisfied with Shangguan Li as a person, and this small bit of personality meant nothing in his eyes. Because Shangguan Li was formidable in strength, had she been overly rigid, Qian Daoliu conversely would not have thought much of her.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
After escaping from the house, Tang San felt practically relieved of a heavy burden. He never wanted to face such a battlefield of romance again.
Using the Blue Silver Domain to scout the surroundings of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Tang San was shocked to discover that the people from Spirit Hall had surprisingly not arrived yet. Could it be that the news of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect dispatching reinforcements had already been learned by the people of Spirit Hall, prompting them to cancel tonight's operation?
Or was Lin Ying's intelligence inaccurate, and Ning Fengzhi sending them out was also to throw away the lives of certain among them, such as Xiao Wu? If that truly was the case, then Xiao Wu's existence was in danger, and he had to return immediately.
Ever since Tang San learned the reason behind the extermination of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he had constantly guarded against Xiao Wu appearing before any disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, especially Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong, who knew the truth.
Yet he could not control Xiao Wu's actions. She was, after all, a person, and there would always be time when she walked about. If Xiao Wu were to be killed while outside his line of sight, then he would absolutely never forgive himself.
Yet when Tang San rushed back to the room, travel-worn and dusty, he unexpectedly saw Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Lin Ying chatting and laughing together. Tang San was somewhat dazed-how could they still be together so peacefully? With so many lives standing between them, why could they still sit together and converse?
Tang San's return was also discovered by Lin Ying. "Tang San, why did you come back so soon? Did you discover something, so you thought of rushing back to tell us?"
Yet Tang San had not yet recovered his wits. Hearing Lin Ying's question, he nodded unconsciously. Only at this moment did Tang San react to what he had just done.
"I just scouted around the vicinity of the sect and found that the people from Spirit Hall haven't arrived yet."
"How is that possible? This is a major operation to attack the Upper Three Sects. Why hasn't anyone come at a time like this? Could it be that they already knew I was eavesdropping at the time, and intentionally fed me false intelligence?"
Lin Ying looked shocked on the surface, but in reality she felt inwardly elated. According to the intelligence gathered from the undercover contact just moments ago, the people from Spirit Hall had already begun lying in ambush as early as this afternoon, yet Tang San's scouting completely failed to detect them. This demonstrated that his scouting methods were inadequate, or that Tang San's cultivation simply wasn't high enough.
However, Tang San was extremely confident in himself and never thought of this aspect, so he concluded that the people from Spirit Hall simply hadn't come at all.
Ning Rongrong cast a suspicious gaze toward Lin Ying. Could it be that Lin Ying truly wasn't an undercover agent sent by Spirit Hall? Otherwise, why would she transmit this kind of information, or was luring them to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan a trap all along? Or perhaps the people of Spirit Hall wanted to borrow the hands of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to eliminate the influence of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
The more she thought about it, the more suspicious she became, until Ning Rongrong simply didn't want to think anymore. "Although what Lin Ying said makes some sense, if the people of Spirit Hall don't come tonight, then we will lose the trust of the Blue Tyrant Dragon Clan. This kind of matter is very serious, especially for someone like Third Brother who is about to become the sect master."
Only then did Tang San remember that he was someone who wanted to establish a sect. If he lost the trust of the Upper Three Sects, then his establishment of this sect might not go smoothly. So what if he had the support of the emperor? An emperor was not a Soul Master and could not provide too much help within the Soul Master sphere of influence.
"I've thought of a method here. If the people from Spirit Hall don't come, then the few of us can pretend to be Soul Masters from Spirit Hall and stir up trouble, like setting fires and the like, as long as we don't pose too great a threat to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Although Ning Rongrong's idea was quite good, she overlooked one problem. "Rongrong, you're being too naive, aren't you? Your idea is good, but you overlooked one thing. Have you forgotten? With just the few of us, can we contend against so many powerful Soul Masters of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
Ah, right. Ning Rongrong only then reacted, having overlooked the issue of the disparity in strength. But if no people from Spirit Hall came today, then they would truly be in trouble.
This matter had been told to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan by the sect master of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If this was false intelligence, then Dad's envisioned cooperation with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would definitely be shattered.
Yet Xiao Wu had not thought quite so much. "Rongrong, Third Brother, you guys don't need to overthink it either. Even if Spirit Hall attacks the sect, the time hasn't arrived yet, has it? Previously at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect it was also deep in the night, so I reckon this time should also be around that hour."
"There's still a quarter of an hour left until that time slot, and the Soul Masters dispatched by Spirit Hall aren't weak either. They possess certain concealment methods, so the possibility of them not being discovered by Third Brother is also very high."
"That's right, Xiao Wu. Maybe the people from Spirit Hall are just hidden away, which is why Third Brother didn't discover them."
Xiao Wu's words gave Tang San and Ning Rongrong hope, but they also caused Lin Ying to suddenly harbor bottled-up anger. She never expected this Xiao Wu to be so sharp. But this anger suddenly vanished, because Lin Ying knew she shouldn't get angry at someone who was about to die.
