Storms Gather in Spirit City

As Ning Fengzhi departed, the other factions also cupped their hands in farewell and withdrew. Pope Bibi Dong said nothing, and seeing this, the remaining factions likewise left one after another.

Only after everyone else had gone did Bibi Dong raise her head, the coldness from before long gone from her face.

"Someone come."

After resting for a while, Bibi Dong's expression returned to normal, and her voice echoed through the deathly silent Spirit Hall.

"Greetings, Your Holiness."

Mu Shan stepped out from behind the door and spoke respectfully. Clearly, he had been waiting there for quite some time.

"Have someone investigate the two people who were with Dugu Bo."

"Focus on that young man."

Bibi Dong gave the order. The appearance of an unfamiliar Titled Douluo was no small matter, especially one at Rank 95.

And although that young man was not highly ranked, merely a Soul King, anyone capable of commanding a Titled Douluo was clearly no harmless figure.

"Yes."

Mu Shan answered respectfully, then backed away until he disappeared from sight. However, the smile on his face was rather thought-provoking.

Inside Star Moon Pavilion, Qin Feng and the others were eating in a private room.

"Will my Brother Strong make it out?"

Dugu Bo said with a frown. Brother Strong had done all this for him! If Brother Strong died, how was he supposed to go on living?

"Die? Impossible."

Qin Feng was not nearly as worried. The system had not said anything about Bald Strong dying all this time, and besides, was Bald Strong really that easy to kill?

Knock knock~

Hearing the knocking, Dugu Bo hurriedly stood and went to open the door.

"Brother Strong!"

Dugu Bo cried out in surprise, then tightly embraced Bald Strong.

Hiss!

That hug landed right on Bald Strong's wound, making him grimace in pain.

"What's wrong?"

Dugu Bo released him in confusion. Looking down, he saw the wound where flesh had been torn away.

"What happened?"

"Shouldn't you be calling a doctor for me first? Why are you asking what happened?" Bald Strong rubbed his head and said speechlessly. What kind of person was this?

"Oh, right!"

Only then did Dugu Bo snap back to his senses and hurried downstairs to find a healing Soul Master.

"Sit down and tell us what happened after we left."

Qin Feng asked with a gossiping expression, while Prince Xue Xing also looked curiously at Bald Strong.

Hiss! This is even more outrageous!

Bald Strong did not know what to say. This was truly an eye-opener. None of them cared about his injuries; they were all curious about what had happened. Sigh!

"After you left, Bibi Dong sent three Titled Douluo... Then a blond man appeared and stopped me from going on a killing spree."

Bald Strong shamelessly placed himself on the same level as Qian Daoliu.

"A blond man? Qian Daoliu?"

The moment Qin Feng heard "blond man," Qian Daoliu was the first person he thought of. As for Qian Xunji, his ashes were probably scattered somewhere by now.

"You know him? I felt like he was pretty strong."

"Of course he's strong. How could a Rank 99 not be?"

Qin Feng rubbed his forehead. What he feared most was Qian Daoliu attacking him. Rank 99 was practically the ceiling below the gods.

Knock knock~

"Come in."

Qin Feng called out. When he looked up, he was surprised to find that it was not Dugu Bo, but Mu Shan, Spirit Hall's spy.

"Greetings, Master."

Mu Shan swept his gaze over Bald Strong and the others, then dropped to one knee and respectfully lowered his head.

"This is... Spirit Hall's Platinum Bishop?"

Prince Xue Xing's lips trembled as he spoke. He truly had not expected even Spirit Hall's Platinum Bishop to be Qin Feng's man.

"What is it?"

Qin Feng ignored the stunned Prince Xue Xing and instead asked Mu Shan.

"Bibi Dong ordered me to investigate Master's identity. I could not make the decision myself, so I came to ask Master."

Mu Shan reported truthfully. Spirit Hall had lost face before so many sects and factions, so they certainly would not let the matter rest. They would dig three feet into the ground to find Qin Feng and the others.

"Oh?"

"Alright, I'll teach you a method."

Qin Feng suddenly thought of a very interesting idea. He whispered into Mu Shan's ear, and Mu Shan's expression instantly became colorful.

"Alright, go." Qin Feng waved his hand, telling Mu Shan to withdraw.

"Yes."

Mu Shan nodded, then headed for the door.

"Mu Shan is your man too?"

After Mu Shan left, Prince Xue Xing finally began asking the questions filling his mind.

"That's right."

Qin Feng nodded. Since he had already been seen, there was no need to hide it anymore.

"Brilliant, truly brilliant."

Prince Xue Xing looked full of admiration. What was strategy? This was the first time he had seen someone plant a spy in Spirit Hall and have him rise to the position of Platinum Bishop. He could not help but admire it.

"Keep it low-key, keep it low-key..."

Qin Feng modestly waved his hand. How could he be that amazing? It was all thanks to the system.

The next day, after Qin Feng finished eating, he returned to his room. Standing by the bed and looking at the Spirit Hall forces outside, he smiled and shook his head.

Spirit Hall probably never imagined they would be here. Last night, Spirit Hall's men had come here to search for them, but Mu Shan had sent them away.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect...

"Someone come."

"Greetings, Sect Master."

"Investigate those two people who appeared at Spirit Hall with all your strength."

"Yes."

After the man left, Ning Fengzhi rubbed his brow, his face haggard.

"Uncle Sword, why did that faction appear at Spirit Hall? Was it a show of force?"

Ning Fengzhi simply stopped thinking about it. The boat would straighten itself when it reached the bridge; no matter how much he thought, it would not change the outcome.

"We do not even know their background. We can only wait until their identities are investigated. Then we may learn a thing or two."

Sword Douluo was not so prone to needless worry. A Rank 95 Titled Douluo was certainly strong, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had two Titled Douluo.

"Sigh! That is all we can do." Ning Fengzhi sighed.

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

"Go investigate those two people."

Yu Yuanzhen called over the man who had gone to Spirit Hall with him.

"Yes."

The man nodded, then gathered the scouts to investigate.

The factions across the continent that had attended Spirit Hall's gathering were more or less conducting investigations. Only the people at the center of the matter were bored out of their minds.

"How is it outside now?"

Qin Feng asked Dugu Bo, who had just returned. Ever since escaping Spirit Hall, he had remained inside Moonlight Pavilion and knew nothing about what was happening outside.

"What do you think? The streets are full of spies now. They have probably even investigated when we arrived."

Dugu Bo said while panting heavily. He had gone out for a stroll and discovered that spies from nearly every major faction were around.

It was probably not just Spirit Hall. The Heaven Dou Empire likely had people here as well.

"Is that so?"

Qin Feng was not particularly concerned. What could they uncover even if they investigated? That they had killed Tang Hao? Or that they had kidnapped Dugu Bo's granddaughter?

What a joke. He had only been here for a few days. Could their investigation somehow reach all the way back to when he was on Blue Star?
