Sea God Island's Shocking Change! There's a "Traitor" Among Us?
That declaration, brimming with boundless anger and sorrow, exploded in the hall.
The six Sea Dragon Douluo were all kneeling on one knee on the ground, completely dumbfounded.
Defection?
Sea Witch Douluo... has defected?
How is that possible!
The six people looked at each other, their eyes practically screaming "outrageous!"
Who is the Sea Witch? How could they, who have been colleagues for decades, not know her?
That girl is such a simpleton, as innocent as a blank sheet of paper. She doesn't even use her brain when she goes out. She gets sold out and still happily helps the seller count the money.
She defected?
Does she even know how to escape? She probably got lost halfway there!
Sea Horse Douluo couldn't resist any longer and mustered up his courage to raise his head.
"High Priest, is there... some misunderstanding? The Sea Witch, she..."
Before he could finish speaking, Bo Saixi's icy gaze swept over him, and Sea Horse Douluo felt as if his tongue had been frozen, unable to utter a single word.
"Misunderstand?"
Bo Saixi's face was as cold as ice, and her voice was devoid of any warmth.
"She was bewitched by the wicked words of Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder the Spirit Hall, her will wavered, and she abandoned her duties Sacred Pillar, leaving the island without permission!"
"I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears!"
Bo Saixi emphasized his words.
Are you questioning me?!
The final question, carrying the pressure of a level 99 Peerless Douluo, crashed down upon him!
Thump!
The six Sacred Pillar Douluo all shrank by half a head, cold sweat instantly pouring down their backs. They lowered their heads even further, not daring to utter another word.
Questioning the High Priest?
They wouldn't dare even if they had a hundred lives!
Can...
Something's just not right about this!
Just then, Sea Dragon Douluo, the leader of the Seven Sacred Pillars, gritted his teeth and looked up again.
"High Priest! The Sea Witch is foolish and does not deserve to die! Please allow me to go and bring her back to Sea God Island to await your judgment!"
He had a good plan: he would go and bring that silly girl back himself, and once he asked her face to face, all the misunderstandings would be cleared up.
However, Bo Saixi's reaction was so fast it startled him.
"No!"
Two resolute words, without the slightest hesitation.
Bo Saixi's expression turned grave as she spoke in an unquestionable tone, "It was Qian Daoliu who bewitched the Sea Witch! He is Peerless Douluo; your going there will be tantamount to suicide!"
"This matter concerns the honor of my Sea God Island, and even more so, the life of the Sea Witch! I must personally intervene and bring her back from the wrong path!"
His words were delivered with righteous indignation and awe-inspiring conviction, and his logic was "flawless."
But a question slowly crept into the minds of the six people kneeling on the ground.
While what you said makes sense, we still feel like something's not quite right!
Alarm bells rang loudly in the heart of Sea Dragon Douluo.
He quickly pieced together everything that had happened that day.
Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, did indeed come today.
Then the high priest went berserk and chased after him, beating him mercilessly.
In the end, Qian Daoliu fled in a sorry state, followed closely by the Sea Witch.
Then... the High Priest announced that the Sea Witch had defected? And he was going to personally pursue her?
They even came up with the lame excuse that "the enemy is too strong and you can't handle it"?
The logic behind this is completely nonsensical!
An extremely audacious, even treasonous, thought uncontrollably surfaced in the mind of Sea Dragon Douluo.
Could it be...?
The real problem wasn't with the Sea Witch.
But... the High Priest?!
The thought startled Sea Dragon Douluo, who quickly buried his head tightly.
I'm so sorry, I can't even think about it!
Meanwhile, Bo Saixi had already begun rapidly deploying her "hunt plan".
"Sea Dragon Douluo!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"You will temporarily assume the duties of the Sea Witch and guard her Sacred Pillar! Until my return, you will be fully responsible for all affairs of Sea God Island!"
"Yes, sir!"
"The rest of you, each perform your duties and Sea God Island, without fail!"
"Yes!"
Having arranged everything, Bo Saixi didn't want to stay a second longer.
With a swift movement, she transformed into an impatient blue streak of light and soared into the sky.
"The traitors of Sea God Island must never be forgiven!"
"I will personally take action to set the record straight!"
That righteous and menacing voice resounded throughout the entire Sea God Island.
The six Sacred Pillar Douluo kneeling in the main hall only dared to slowly raise their heads after the blue light had completely disappeared.
The six of them looked at each other, staring at each other blankly.
The main hall was deathly silent.
After a long while, Sea Star Douluo scratched his head and muttered under his breath:
"Don't you all think... the High Priest is acting a little strange today?"
"It's more than just strange!"
Sea Illusion Douluo sighed deeply, his old face as distressed as a bitter gourd. "In my nearly 100 years of life, I have never seen the High Priest so abnormal."
Sea Horse Douluo walked to the entrance of the main hall, looking in the direction where Bo Saixi had disappeared, his brows furrowed into a knot.
"I have a feeling this is really weird."
"And have you noticed, High Priest... seems to be in a hurry?"
Everyone nodded in unison.
That kind of posture doesn't look like they're going to hunt down a traitor.
If you didn't know better, you'd think they were rushing to be reincarnated.
The Sea Dragon Douluo's expression was the most solemn. He said in a deep voice, "No matter what, we must obey the High Priest's orders."
"But..."
He abruptly changed the subject, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
"The Sea Witch's defection is suspicious in every way. I think we need to... investigate it thoroughly in private."
The chaos and disorder on Sea God Island will not be discussed further for now.
Maple Dye Pavilion, the atmosphere remained lively, or rather, noisy.
The two major camps, led by Golden Crocodile Douluo and Sword Douluo, are engaged in a second round of intense yet "friendly" negotiations around the lifeless Star Luo Emperor Dai Tianfeng, regarding the ownership, usage rights, and subsequent profit sharing of the <Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record: Secret Techniques Chapter>.
Spittle flew everywhere, and the table was slammed with a deafening roar.
"Our Spirit Hall's Mysterious Heaven Skill is the foundation of everything, accounting for 60%, which is perfectly reasonable!"
"Bullshit! The Hidden Weapon Hundred Solutions belongs to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Without it, your Mysterious Heaven Skill is just an ordinary technique! My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect owns 50%, no less!"
"Your Majesty! We are the holders of the key technology; we cannot be fooled by them! Our Star Luo Empire cannot back down!"
Dai Tianfeng was sandwiched in the middle, with Golden Crocodile Douluo's "kind" gaze on his left and Bone Douluo's "friendly" smile on his right.
Behind him were his own ministers, standing there talking without a care in the world; it couldn't be more pathetic.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of this place, which rivals that of a bustling market, lies a tranquil haven in a quiet corner.
Ning Rongrong pushed two chairs together, curled up into a ball, and slept soundly, with a trace of drool still hanging from the corner of her mouth.
After a night of intense "barbecue service," she was utterly exhausted.
Everything seemed so harmonious, yet eerie.
Amidst the commotion, a figure slowly rose to his feet.
It's Bibi Dong.
She lowered her head, and her usually dignified and aloof face was now as red as a ripe apple.
She walked to the counter, her voice barely audible, like a mosquito's hum.
"S-senpai."
"My... my new body, it's almost... almost done..."
