After Yang Podi and the others had recovered from their injuries, they changed into brand new clothes and prepared to go home.
Ever since Yang Tianyue obtained the Sea God's inheritance and acquired the Sea God Trident, Yang Podi always felt that it was a bit awkward for a girl to hold the Sea God Trident, as if she were holding a harpoon, and it was also too flashy.
So Yang Podi casually slaughtered a ten-thousand-year-old willow tree and made a long wooden box for Yang Tianyue. Now Yang Tianyue likes to carry a long wooden box on her back whenever she goes out, because it looks better than carrying a harpoon.
But if the Sea God knew that Yang Podi mistook the Sea God Trident for a harpoon, wouldn't he be furious?
The six walked quickly, preparing to return to the Heavenly Pursuit Academy.
However, after the six had only walked for half a day, someone suddenly caught up with them and possessed extremely strong fire attributes.
Yang Podi was puzzled: He hadn't provoked them recently, so why was he coming to find him?
Yang Podi ordered all six of them to stop. A moment later, a huge fire eagle flew in from the sky; it was none other than the Flame Eagle Douluo from the Spirit Hall.
It must be said that Flame Eagle Douluo is quite beautiful, with a mature and elegant image. In particular, her short silver hair and leather jacket and pants accentuate her figure. If she were in later generations, she would probably be a heartthrob.
Yang Podi smiled at Flame Eagle Douluo, "Senior Flame Eagle Douluo, may I ask what brings you chasing us? I don't think I have any conflict with the Spirit Hall."
Flame Eagle Douluo shook his head. "It's not me looking for you, it's that pervert from our Spirit Hall who wants to talk to you and your friends."
Yang Podi thought about it carefully. The pervert that Flame Eagle Douluo was referring to was probably Chrysanthemum Douluo. Chrysanthemum Douluo probably suffered a great loss in the Star Dou Great Forest and might even be seriously injured now. He probably wants to ask Ye Lingling for help in treating him.
Yang Podi also wanted to investigate the current situation of the Spirit Hall, especially to see how their battle in the Star Dou Great Forest had gone, as this was related to some subsequent actions.
Yang Podi used his Soul Power to pull the other five people along, and in a flash, all six of them Teleportation onto the Flaming Eagle in the sky. "Senior, please lead the way."
Flame Eagle Douluo watched as Yang Podi six Teleportation to her side without her even noticing. Her eyes widened slightly, as if she were somewhat wary. In the end, she nodded and flew away quickly on her Flame Eagle.
In less than a few minutes, the Flamehawk flew to a relatively hidden cave, which was obviously disguised and could not be detected by outsiders.
Regardless of any danger, Yang Podi led the other five people into the cave with Flame Eagle Douluo. Inside the cave, there was a rather desolate scene.
There were about ten people inside, including Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan from the Golden Generation whom they had met in the Soul Master Tournament, and five Soul Saint.
Among these people, apart from the two Healing System Soul Saint, everyone else was seriously injured, and judging from their wounds, they seemed to have been injured by the Ultimate Metal.
Yang Podi couldn't help but laugh, "Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo, Senior Ghost Douluo, I didn't expect even experts like you to be injured. Who injured you?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed a little annoyed as he spoke, " Little Podi, don't say so much yet. Let your little girlfriend help us heal our injuries first. We've been caught off guard this time."
Yang Podi shook his head. "Healing is no problem, of course, but shouldn't we discuss the consultation fee beforehand? We can't just offer free treatment."
"You Little Podi, you dare to talk to us about consultation fees? We've been quite good to you, secretly taking care of you quite a bit."
"Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo, you can't say that. Your Spirit Hall is a large and powerful organization with countless Healing System Soul Saint. Our Heavenly Pursuit Academy only Lingling as a high-level healing Soul Master. The academy has many internal affairs to attend to. If there is no payment, then we will take our leave. We won't disturb your treatment."
Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed a little annoyed. " Little Podi, what kind of reward do you want for your healing?"
Yang Podi said with a half-smile, "Just two small conditions. As long as you agree, Lingling will treat you immediately."
What are your conditions?
"First, from this day forward, under no circumstances shall the Spirit Hall acknowledge the independence of my Heavenly Pursuit Academy, and neither side shall initiate conflict. Second, the Spirit Hall shall not interfere in the life of Grandpa Ye Renxin."
After Yang Podi finished speaking, he turned to Hu Liena and said, " Your Saintess Hall, these are just two small conditions. I believe Your Saintess Hall can make a decision."
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Hu Liena both seemed somewhat conflicted, but Yang Podi continued before they could reply, "Our Heavenly Pursuit Academy doesn't want to cause any trouble, which should be the ideal situation for your Spirit Hall right now. Besides, apart from Lingling, I'm afraid no one else can heal your injuries."
The members of the Spirit Hall exchanged glances, and finally Hu Liena spoke, "I can agree to your conditions, but you must not interfere with the actions of my Spirit Hall."
Yang Podi smiled and said, "Our Heavenly Pursuit Academy has always refrained from interfering in any matters, just like last time we didn't interfere with the actions of your Spirit Hall."
" Lingling, give them some treatment."
Upon hearing Yang Podi's words, Ye Lingling understood Yang Podi meaning and immediately stepped forward to treat them. However, she did not summon her Martial Soul or Soul Ring; instead, her hands glowed green as she tended to their wounds.
Yang Podi four rested nearby, which also served as a warning.
In just one day, the injuries of the eight members of the Spirit Hall had mostly healed, which made Chrysanthemum Douluo marvel. Even the two Healing System Soul Saint were puzzled and couldn't help but praise Ye Lingling's healing methods.
Chrysanthemum Douluo asked Yang Podi with some curiosity, " Little Podi, don't you want to know how we got our injuries?"
Yang Podi shook his head. "Your injuries were probably inflicted by the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest. What's so strange about that?"
Upon hearing Yang Podi's words, everyone from the Spirit Hall was incredulous, as if some hidden secret had been exposed.
Yang Podi simply smiled faintly, then took out a chrysanthemum petal from his Soul Tool. This was clearly the petal he had picked up during Chrysanthemum Douluo's battle at the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Chrysanthemum Douluo asked curiously, "You went to the Lake of Life too? It's fraught with danger there. Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Yang Podi looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo with a half-smile, "We're not going to catch rabbits, so what danger could we possibly face?"
The members of the Spirit Hall were immediately shocked, never expecting that Yang Podi had discovered their clandestine operation.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression immediately turned serious. " Yang Podi, how did you know this news?"
"As everyone knows, Pope Bibi Dong Twin Martial Souls. Her Second Martial Soul likely doesn't yet have all its Soul Ring. Back in the Soul Master Tournament, she failed to capture that rabbit. Now, sending so many experts like you to the Star Dou Great Forest is definitely to catch that rabbit; otherwise, she would probably go herself."
Yang Podi smiled and said, "The Spirit Hall treats Titled Douluo too poorly. Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo, Senior Ghost Douluo, why don't you come and be teachers at my Heavenly Pursuit Academy? Not only is there less work, but the benefits are also better, and you can even receive free treatment."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces immediately fell. Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly said, " Little Podi, don't joke like that. We're not leaving the Spirit Hall."
"By the way, Little Podi, why did you suggest that we not interfere with Ye Renxin's conditions?"
Yang Podi couldn't help but shake his head, looking at Chrysanthemum Douluo with disdain. "Isn't your Spirit Hall's information a bit too bad? Do I really have to tell you this kind of thing?"
Ghost Douluo, standing to the side, coldly spoke up, " Ye Renxin treated Tang Hao, doesn't he know that Tang Hao is an enemy of our Spirit Hall?"
"Grandpa Ye is just a doctor, why would he care about the power or influence of his patients? Besides, you can go to Grandpa Ye for treatment. He has treated many people from your Spirit Hall before, it's just that you don't dare to go."
Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly retorted, "Why wouldn't I dare to go? It's just that Heaven Dou City is too far away."
"With the pathetic things your Spirit Hall has done, aren't you afraid of getting chopped to eight pieces by Sword Douluo and his crew if you go to Heaven Dou City? Why don't you go back to the Spirit Hall for treatment instead of hiding in this godforsaken place?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo was speechless, unsure of what to say.
Yang Podi ignored Chrysanthemum Douluo and instead spoke to Hu Liena, " Your Saintess Hall, how about we make a deal?"
Hu Liena asked, somewhat puzzled, "What kind of deal could we possibly make?"
Yang Podi spoke calmly, "Please trouble the Holy Maiden to report back to His Holiness the Pope that we can cooperate to deal with those three-headed Soul Beast. Our Heavenly Pursuit Academy is willing to provide two Titled Douluo, but I want that snake."
After saying this, Yang Podi led everyone away, while the Spirit Hall members were in a state of shock.
After a while, Hu Liena finally spoke up, "Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo, is Yang Podi eyeing that Sky Azure Bull Python? Otherwise, why would he propose such a collaboration? Is Yang Podi already Level 90?"
At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo also became a bit serious. " Yang Podi has always been a man of few words, and I don't even know his exact Soul Power Level. I always feel that he has some ulterior motive in proposing this cooperation."
The others around remained silent; this was not something they could interfere with.
After Yang Podi and the others left, Ye Lingling said to Yang Podi, " Podi, thank you for thinking of my grandfather. I was really worried about his situation in Heaven Dou City."
Yang Podi shook his head. "The situation in Heaven Dou City is very chaotic right now. It would be best to persuade Grandpa to go to our Heavenly Pursuit Academy. After all, Grandpa saved Tang Hao, Clear Sky Sect and the people of the Heaven Dou Empire shouldn't target him. As long as the Spirit Hall doesn't intervene, he should be relatively safe for the time being."
"I'll go to Heaven Dou City in a while and try my best to persuade Grandpa to leave this place of trouble."
Yang Tianyue, standing to the side, asked with some confusion, "Brother, why do you want to cooperate with the Spirit Hall? I always feel like they're unreliable."
Yang Podi simply smiled and said, " The Spirit Hall is indeed unreliable, especially Bibi Dong, whose ambitions are too great. I reckon Bibi Dong has already considered these three Soul Beast as her own, so how could she possibly cooperate with us?"
Yang Tianyue was still puzzled. "Then why did you still say you wanted to cooperate?"
Yang Podi didn't answer, but instead turned to Yang Ping'an beside him and said, "Ping'an, tell me, why did I say I wanted to cooperate with the Spirit Hall?"
Yang Ping'an thought carefully before speaking, "Big Brother doesn't actually want to cooperate with them. He probably wants them to think that Big Brother is more interested in the Sky Azure Bull Python, forcing the Pope and the others to take action against these three Soul Beast. He wants the Pope and the others to clash with Xiong Jun and the others, and it would be best if both sides were severely injured."
Yang Podi spoke with a sinister expression, "Neither that rabbit nor the Spirit Hall will be our friends. I just said that to make them clash, preferably to the point of mutual destruction. Whichever side wins, it will benefit us."
"One Xiong Jun is nothing. I want Bibi Dong and the others to test Di Tian's strength; that's the real challenge."
