"Reporting to Your Holiness..."
Ghost lowered his head respectfully and continued his report:
"After that, the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao, appeared!"
He then continued recounting the intelligence he had gathered.
For some unknown reason, Tang Hao had launched a fierce attack on Ye Han and the other two.
That female Six-Winged Angel Titled Douluo had confronted him and retreated unscathed with Ye Han and Xiao Wu!
That night, Tang Hao had pursued them to an inn on the edge of the Star Dou Forest, where the two sides clashed for a second time!
After that, both sides vanished without a trace, their whereabouts unknown!!
"What?!"
Bibi Dong shot to her feet, her eyes filled with shock.
Back when Tang Hao had just broken through to become a Titled Douluo, his combat power had already been terrifying to the extreme!
By himself, he had defeated that beast Qian Xunji, along with Elder Yue Guan and Elder Ghost!
Not to mention Tang Hao six years later—his strength could only be greater, never weaker!
Yet this female Six-Winged Angel Titled Douluo had fought him twice and still escaped unscathed with two others?!
This woman was at least Rank 97!!
But that was not right, was it? Had the intelligence not said she was extremely young?!
Doubts piled up in Bibi Dong's heart.
Moreover, Tang Hao had lived in seclusion for years. Why had he suddenly emerged to hunt them down?
Xiao Gang's disciple, Tang San, happened to share Tang Hao's surname. Could the two be connected?!
And why had Xiao Wu been taken away? Just because of that minor dispute she had caused earlier?!
Where had those two gone after disappearing? Spirit City?!
That was impossible! The entire city was under her surveillance now!
Bibi Dong ordered in a deep voice:
"Investigate! Investigate again! No matter the cost, get to the bottom of this!!"
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
Ghost's figure flickered, and he slipped into the shadows as he withdrew.
"Reporting to Your Holiness!"
The moment he left, Yue Guan hurried inside:
"The Worship Hall has also received word. The Great Worshiper has sent Elder Ghost Leopard to investigate!"
"From the looks of it, they know nothing about this female Six-Winged Angel Titled Douluo either!"
Even Qian Daoliu did not know?!
Bibi Dong frowned tightly as a thought abruptly surfaced in her mind.
If even Qian Daoliu did not know, could she be a bastard daughter Qian Xunji had left outside?!
That lecherous, shameless beast was certainly capable of doing something so disgusting!
"Continue monitoring the Worship Hall's movements!!"
"Report to me immediately the moment there is any news!!"
(Asking my dears, how would you like Bibi Dong dealt with later?)
(1. Turn over a new leaf!)
(2. Be tormented and made to submit!)
(3. Be brutally killed!)
As early as two and a half incense sticks ago.
Inside the Worship Hall on the other side.
Elder Ghost Leopard had arrived and reported all the intelligence he had uncovered.
The information he and Ghost had found was identical, with no significant discrepancies.
"What?!!"
After hearing the report, the seven great worshipers led by Qian Daoliu were all stunned.
Qian Jun and Jiang Mo wore expressions of disbelief:
"That Six-Winged Angel Titled Douluo appeared out of nowhere?!"
"After appearing, she took away a boy who had awakened the Golden Saint Dragon Martial Soul?!"
"Then, while protecting two people, she fought Tang Hao twice without losing and retreated unscathed?!"
"This... is simply too unbelievable!"
Even Lion could not help exclaiming:
"Even I may not be confident of achieving that. This woman's strength must surpass mine!"
The worshipers began discussing among themselves.
They were both shocked and delighted.
Shocked by the woman's formidable strength and mysterious origins.
Delighted because the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul meant she was ultimately one of the Angel Lineage.
"Big Brother, what do we do next?!"
Golden Crocodile looked toward Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu stood before the Angel God statue, his gaze deep and solemn.
He too could not figure out the woman's exact origins and still held to his previous speculation.
She could only be the illegitimate daughter that that unfilial son Qian Xunji had left outside!
With strength so formidable, it was no wonder she had drawn the Angel God into personally communicating with her!
"Continue investigating!"
Qian Daoliu spoke, his tone brooking no objection:
"Mobilize every covert agent and resource. We must uncover her whereabouts and everything about her!!"
"Remember, if you find her, you must not offend or disrespect her. She must be treated with courtesy!!"
After traveling all the way.
At last, by sunset that day.
Ye Han's group entered Heaven Dou City.
The streets were bustling with people, displaying all the prosperity of a flourishing age.
"We're finally here! Thank you, Sister Guyi~"
Ye Han jumped down from Ye Guyi's arms and stretched lazily.
He had gotten sleepy on the road, so he had asked Sister Guyi to hold him while he slept!
"Good boy~"
Ye Guyi's face was full of affection as she rubbed Ye Han's little head.
Wang Qiuer had been quietly stewing in jealousy the whole way.
Only after arriving in this human city did she begin to feel better.
It was her first time entering a human city, and her eyes were full of curiosity.
Yet her exquisite face remained cold, revealing not the slightest loss of composure.
Xiao Wu followed closely behind Ye Han and Ye Guyi, concealing her aura and not daring to draw attention to herself.
She feared that another Titled Douluo might appear in Heaven Dou City and see through her identity as a soul beast.
"My Yan Yan attends Heaven Dou Royal Academy. At this hour, she should usually be returning home."
"This way."
Dugu Bo walked at the front, leading the way.
Ye Han's group followed closely behind him.
As they went deeper inside, the streets and alleys grew quieter.
Before long, they arrived at an enormous residence.
Its vermilion gates were tightly shut, and not even a servant could be seen standing guard.
It appeared incomparably desolate, as quiet as an abandoned manor long devoid of inhabitants.
There was none of the usual bustle of servants coming and going through an aristocratic estate.
Still, that scene suited Dugu Bo's solitary temperament.
"Your granddaughter is not inside."
Ye Guyi sensed the auras within and spoke coolly.
"She should be back soon. Please come inside and rest first."
Dugu Bo respectfully opened the gate and was about to invite them in.
Tap, tap...
Suddenly, Ye Han heard footsteps approaching from afar.
Speak of the devil, and the devil arrived!
Following the sound, Ye Han turned toward the side street, the corner of his lips twitching slightly.
"They're here, over there."
Everyone turned to look.
Under the setting sun, two young women were walking side by side.
The girl on the left wore a short purple dress and had short, deep-purple hair.
Her pupils were an eerie green, and her expression was proud, carrying an air of arrogance and wildness.
Beside her walked a girl in a short silver-white dress, with short ash-gray hair.
Her features were plain and elegant, while her expression was extremely aloof, giving off a distant, unapproachable air.
One was proud, the other cold, and both possessed outstanding beauty.
They were none other than Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling!
The famed Heaven Dou Twin Flowers of Heaven Dou Royal Academy!
Ye Han's gaze lingered briefly on Ye Lingling.
The Nine-Hearted Begonia—the strongest healing-type Martial Soul of the first Douluo era.
It was passed down through a single lineage, and no more than two soul masters could exist at once in each generation.
She had actually come along with Dugu Yan.
But that was normal. They were classmates and sisters.
"Yan Yan!"
Dugu Bo immediately called out.
"Grandpa?!"
Dugu Yan froze for a moment.
Then she ran over and threw herself into Dugu Bo's arms.
"Grandpa, I missed you so much!"
Her grandfather was away from home all year round, and seeing him was not easy.
"Good girl, Yan Yan~"
Dugu Bo stroked her head, his face full of affection.
He was utterly devoted to his granddaughter.
Ye Lingling also walked over at this time and politely bowed to him.
"Greetings, Grandpa Poison."
She was good friends with Dugu Yan, so she had naturally met Dugu Bo many times.
Moreover, elders of her family had once helped Dugu Bo treat his poison.
Though it had not done much good, they had become acquainted over time.
"The young lady of the Ye family is here as well."
Dugu Bo stroked his beard.
Only then did Dugu Yan notice Ye Han's group.
Her gaze swept across them. From their bearing alone, she could tell they were no ordinary people.
Especially when her eyes landed on Ye Han, she found that this little fellow possessed an even more extraordinary aura!
Dugu Yan stared at Ye Han and instinctively blurted out:
"Grandpa, who are they...?"
At her words, Dugu Bo immediately grew serious:
"Yan Yan, Grandpa invited them here specifically for you!"
