Tang Hao Confirmed as the Scapegoat-Did Ghost Douluo Confess His Love to Chrysanthemum Douluo?
"Not bad. The Rakshasa God showed me some respect and lowered the difficulty of the trial."
"That hundred-thousand-year soul beast, the Death Spider Emperor, will come in handy after all."
"Sister Dong'er, once you ascend to the position of Pope, I'll take you to hunt that hundred-thousand-year Death Spider Emperor."
Ye Tian had not expected the Rakshasa God to show him so much respect.
In the original story, Bibi Dong's divine trials were probably the hardest of all the divine inheritances.
She had no guide like a high priest, nor any established system like Slaughter City's. Bibi Dong had only herself to rely on as she slowly felt her way forward, spending twenty years on the process.
What everyone found most unbearable was that, despite all the time Bibi Dong spent, the rewards were terrible. Her Soul Rings received no upgrades at all; she was given only a divine seat.
That was why so many people thought the Rakshasa God was too stingy and that the inheritance was not worth pursuing.
But since the Rakshasa God had already promised not to shortchange Bibi Dong, and the first trial was so simple, the deity probably sincerely wanted to pass the divine seat on to her.
"Yes, Lord Rakshasa God only changed his attitude out of respect for you."
"So you're my little lucky charm."
Bibi Dong happily picked Ye Tian up and showered his little face with kisses. Her joy was beyond words.
Meanwhile, in Qian Xunji's room, everything returned to normal after Ye Tian lost the Ancestral Qilin's power.
Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and the others noticed something was wrong with Qian Xunji and hurried to examine him.
One look gave them a fright.
Qian Xunji was no longer breathing. All the vitality in his body seemed to have been sucked dry, vanishing in an instant.
Upon discovering this, Chrysanthemum Douluo notified Qian Daoliu as quickly as he could.
Qian Daoliu's expression changed abruptly when he received the news, and he rushed over in a frantic hurry.
Everyone present dropped to their knees at the sight of Qian Daoliu, trembling all over.
Qian Xunji's death had been far too strange, seemingly occurring in a single instant. They all bore responsibility.
Qian Daoliu examined Qian Xunji and found that he had stopped breathing entirely. He roared in fury, "What happened? How did it come to this?"
Everyone exchanged helpless looks, unsure how to answer.
If they had known what was happening, they would have intervened long ago.
"So none of you will speak? Then every last one of you can die!"
Seeing that no one uttered a word, Qian Daoliu unleashed a terrifying aura. He raised his hand and launched a Soul Skill, intending to kill everyone so they could accompany Qian Xunji to the grave.
"Please quell your anger, Great Enshrined! His Holiness suddenly stopped breathing. We don't know what happened either!"
"Perhaps His Holiness's injuries were too severe, and their apparent stabilization earlier was only the last flicker of a dying flame."
Seeing that Qian Daoliu was about to kill them, Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately offered an explanation.
"Spare me, Great Enshrined!"
"His Holiness's injuries were already extremely severe. We couldn't have anticipated such a deceptive recovery! We all did everything we could."
"But who could have imagined that His Holiness's condition would deteriorate so quickly? We had no time to react."
Terrified that Qian Daoliu would strike him down, the Medical Sage hinted that Qian Xunji's death had nothing to do with them.
If anyone was to blame, it could only be Qian Xunji himself for failing to pull through.
"Are you saying Xun'er died because he was too useless to survive the night?"
How could Qian Daoliu fail to understand the Medical Sage's implication? His eyes brimmed with murderous intent.
"Great Enshrined, that isn't what I meant."
Seeing that Qian Daoliu had exposed his meaning, the Medical Sage was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly.
"Heh. I think that is exactly what you meant."
"Since you're all incompetent and couldn't save my Xun'er, you can die!"
Qian Daoliu laughed in the extremity of his rage. With a raised hand, he instantly killed the Medical Sage and every Healing Soul Master present, sparing only Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
Whatever the circumstances, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were both Titled Douluo. Though their cultivation was inferior to his, killing them too would be a tremendous loss for Spirit Hall.
On the Douluo Continent, nurturing a single Titled Douluo was extraordinarily difficult.
Seeing everyone else die, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo broke out in cold sweat, their faces deathly pale.
Sure enough, the Great Enshrined's temper was no easy thing to contend with.
Fortunately, they were both Titled Douluo. Out of concern for Spirit Hall's overall strength, Qian Daoliu did not dare kill them.
Otherwise, death would have been their only fate.
"Pass down my orders: hunt down Tang Hao with every resource available. Anyone who discovers his whereabouts will be richly rewarded!"
"From this day forward, Bibi Dong will temporarily take charge of all Spirit Hall affairs!"
Qian Xunji's death had utterly enraged Qian Daoliu.
After leaving those words behind, he flew off toward the Clear Sky Sect to demand an accounting.
He swore he would not call himself a man until he caught Tang Hao.
"Yes!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's faces lit up with joy upon hearing Qian Daoliu's arrangements.
Sure enough, with Qian Xunji dead, Bibi Dong would be the one to succeed him.
It seemed everything was proceeding according to Ye Tian's plans.
They were finally about to reach the pinnacle of their lives.
"Old Ghost, our good days have finally arrived."
"The Great Enshrined should be heading to the Clear Sky Sect now."
"For the time being, we'll help Her Highness the Saintess oversee matters and issue a continent-wide warrant for Tang Hao."
"When Her Highness takes office as Pope, that will be the day we brothers finally rise to prominence."
After confirming that Qian Daoliu had left, Chrysanthemum Douluo stood up happily, unable to suppress the joy on his face.
"Yes. Everything Lord Auspicious Beast said really was true."
"Old Chrysanthemum, do you think Lord Auspicious Beast was responsible for His Holiness's sudden death?"
"After all, His Holiness's condition had stabilized. He couldn't have died in an instant without any warning."
Ghost Douluo nodded repeatedly, expressing his admiration for Ye Tian's abilities, his eyes filled with reverence.
"Shh, keep your voice down."
"This must have been arranged by Lord Auspicious Beast. Otherwise, His Holiness would have died back in the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Right now, the Great Enshrined is in a towering rage. We must keep this secret and forget this matter completely."
"If we let anything slip, we'll both die!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo jumped in fright and hurriedly covered Ghost Douluo's mouth.
To prevent anyone from learning of this, he even carefully examined every person Qian Daoliu had killed in the room, afraid someone might still be alive.
Only after confirming that everyone was dead did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Old Chrysanthemum, you really are the cautious one. I was rash just now."
"Let's go tell Her Highness the Saintess this happy news."
Only then did Ghost Douluo come to his senses and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Are you an idiot? The most important thing now is to issue the arrest warrant. Only then should we report the good news to Her Highness."
"We need to get our priorities straight. If the Great Enshrined learns that we went straight to Her Highness, he'll grow suspicious."
Chrysanthemum Douluo was speechless. Ghost Douluo's mind simply could not make the turn.
At a time like this, they had to pay attention to the little details to avoid inviting trouble.
"Old Chrysanthemum, you're right. I didn't think it through."
"Old Chrysanthemum, it really is good to have you here. If I lost you, how would I go on living?"
Hearing his explanation, Ghost Douluo broke out in cold sweat.
Heavens, I almost gave the game away just now.
Fortunately, Chrysanthemum Douluo had warned him in time. Otherwise, he would have made another terrible mistake.
Hearing Ghost Douluo's words, which sounded almost like a confession of love, Chrysanthemum Douluo froze.
What kind of wild, predatory talk was that?
Absolutely terrifying!
