"Who is this young man to possess such a level of Divine Power?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Qian Daoliu's face Worship Hall. He never expected that one day his Divine Power would be discovered by someone, and even blocked from view. Who exactly was that young man? Could he be from the Divine Realm?
He slowly stood up from the chair, preparing to meet the mysterious boy, when he turned into a golden light and disappeared from the spot.
On the other side, in the luxurious carriage at the very back of the Heaven Dou Royal procession, Jun Yi had already stood up and was controlling his Conqueror's Haki to envelop the entire carriage. Since entering Spirit City, his condition had improved rapidly, and even the tinnitus in his ears had almost completely disappeared.
Just now, as Jun Yi was about to withdraw his Observation Haki, he suddenly sensed a massive and extremely powerful Divine Power locking onto him. Jun Yi sensed that the Divine Power was not malicious, but Jun Yi disliked being monitored, so he immediately raised his Observation Haki to its peak and combined it with Conqueror's Haki to drive the Divine Power out of the carriage.
Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing looked at Jun Yi, whose complexion had improved, and at the imposing aura he now exuded, with great curiosity.
" Jun Yi, are you alright?" Dugu Yan asked first.
Jun Yi nodded slightly and replied, "I'm almost fine now. I don't know why, but as soon as I arrived in Spirit City, my condition improved a lot, and I've basically fully recovered."
Seeing that Jun Yi wasn't just putting on a brave face, Dugu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "That's good. But why did you suddenly stand up? Did you notice anything unusual?"
Before Jun Yi could answer, Zhu Zhuqing spoke first, saying, "I just vaguely sensed a massive Divine Power enveloping the entire Heaven Dou Royal Guard, as if it were monitoring us. Big Brother Jun, you're probably doing this to prevent us from being monitored by others, right?"
In fact, Zhu Zhuqing did not sense any fluctuations in Divine Power. It was the Heavenly Snow Woman within her who told her that it was the Divine Power released by the Great Enshrined, whom she had met once before, that was monitoring them. Zhu Zhuqing then told Dugu Yan about this to clear up her doubts.
"I see, Zhu Zhuqing. Do you know who that person is?" Dugu Yan asked curiously.
"This..." Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to say it or not.
"The only person in Spirit City who possesses such formidable Divine Power and remains there is the Great Enshrined Elder, who has been in seclusion in the Worship Hall for many years and whose Soul Power Level has reached 99, the father of the former Pope, Qian Daoliu," Jun Yi deduced.
Upon hearing the name " Qian Daoliu," Dugu Yan Yan's mouth dropped open in astonishment. "What? That person actually exists?"
When she was a child, her grandfather told her the legend of Qian Daoliu. He said that he had reached the pinnacle of the continent decades ago, which was also the highest point of Soul Master. He was a level 99 Titled Douluo. After leaving behind various legends on the continent, he disappeared. It is said that he went to find the path to godhood for a woman. No one knows what happened after that.
Dugu Yan initially thought this person was just a fabrication by her grandfather, but she never expected that he actually existed and was even the father of the former Pope?
"Of course I still exist, it's just that I haven't wanted to get involved in the conflicts on the mainland these past few years."
A gentle voice reached Dugu Yan's ears. She turned her head sharply and found that a refined and elegant blond middle-aged man had suddenly appeared in the carriage, sitting opposite Jun Yi and looking at her with a smile.
" Zhu Zhuqing pays his respects to the Great Enshrined."
Zhu Zhuqing was quite shocked by the blond middle-aged man, but she quickly regained her composure and bowed to him.
Dugu Yan's eyes widened, and she covered her gaping mouth with both hands, "You... you are...?"
The blond man exuded elegance in his demeanor. He placed his arm on the table, pressed his fist against his face, and tilted his head slightly as he looked at Dugu Yan.
"That's right, I am Qian Daoliu. Little girl, your surprised look reminds me of someone. Who is Dugu Bo to you?"
"Yes, it's my grandfather," Dugu Bo replied nervously.
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu smiled calmly and said, "No wonder, your demeanor, expression, and even your actions when you first met me are exactly the same."
" Great Enshrined, what brings you here?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
Qian Daoliu slightly to face Jun Yi, who was sitting silently next to Dugu Yan, and said, "I came here for this young man."
"You must be Jun Yi? Don't be so wary. I have no ill intentions towards you this time. I just want to take you somewhere," Qian Daoliu said slowly.
"Can I not go?" Jun Yi replied.
Since Qian Daoliu entered the carriage, Jun Yi had been on high alert. Even with the two types of Haki combined, Jun Yi still couldn't figure out how Qian Daoliu had entered the carriage. After passing the Eight Trials of the Angel God, Qian Daoliu had mastered the Divine Power of a celestial being. Jun Yi wasn't confident he could kill him instantly with Soul Skill. He also didn't know why Qian Daoliu had suddenly sought him out. Was it because of Qian Renxue?
But a message came from the palace saying that Xue Qinghe had official business to attend to and would stay in Heaven Dou Imperial City for a few days, only coming to Spirit City when the competition officially began?
Qian Daoliu was not surprised and continued, "Of course, I won't force anyone. Would you like to speak with me alone?"
"Let's get off the bus and talk."
After saying that, Jun Yi stepped down from the carriage. Qian Daoliu gave Dugu Yan a deep look, smiled calmly, and said, "Very good talent. You will at least reach my level in the future. Little girl, work hard, otherwise you may not be as good as Zhu Zhuqing in the future."
He then stepped down from the carriage. Dugu Yan was somewhat flattered. Qian Daoliu just said that she would at least reach his level in the future, meaning she could become a level 99 Titled Douluo? And what about the last sentence, "not as good as Zhu Zhuqing"? Could it be that Zhu Zhuqing's talent was even higher than Qian Daoliu's?
Outside the carriage, some guards noticed that an unknown blond middle-aged man had alighted from Jun Yi's carriage, but seeing that Jun Yi was walking side by side with him, they dared not say anything.
" Xiao Yi, may I call you that? Xue'er often mentions you in her letters," Qian Daoliu said first.
Jun Yi then reminded him, " Great Enshrined, there are so many people on the road, aren't you afraid that the walls might be eavesdropping?"
Qian Daoliu smiled faintly, "Don't worry, these people can't hear what we're saying. I've already interfered with their hearing with my Divine Power. You can do something this simple, right?"
" Great Enshrined, what brings you here?"
