The next day!!
Pope Hall!
Feeling the approach of two strong auras, Yueguan and Gui Mei's expressions immediately became grave.....
The former said coldly, "Lao Gui, did you feel it? These two auras..."
The latter nodded affirmatively, "Yes, there's no mistake, it's the guest elders Qian Jun and Xiao Long. I didn't expect they would come again!!"
Usually, the folks from the Worship Hall don't visit the Pope Hall more than once in several years!
But unexpectedly, they have come two or three times recently, which is truly puzzling!!
Yueguan pursed his lips, "Should we report to Your Holiness?"
When dealing with people from the Worship Hall, one must be extremely vigilant!
After all, they could become enemies at any moment!
Upon hearing this, Gui Mei thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Since they're releasing their Soul Power Aura so overtly, Your Holiness must have sensed their presence!"
"However, he hasn't used spiritual power to communicate with us, suggesting he wants to ignore them!"
Yueguan frowned, "But, we need to understand their purpose for coming here!"
Gui Mei paused, "In my opinion, these two are probably here for Xu Sheng!!"
"Let's choose to observe for now, and if anything unusual happens, it'll be time to act!"
Now thinking back, the promise Xu Sheng made at the time is increasingly appealing!
If my aptitude advances further, my strength will certainly surpass that of Qian Jun and Xiao Long!
Yueguan also found sense in this, "Alright, let's see what they're up to!"
Those two mustn't dare do anything unexpected under such a circumstance!!
...
Upon entering the Pope Hall and looking at the surrounding Spirit Hall Soldiers, Jiang Long Douluo clearly appeared displeased.....
Couldn't help but criticize, "Tsk, this time, not only did Bi Bidong not come to greet us, but even Yueguan and Gui Mei are acting this way, are they looking down on us??"
"Qian Jun, shouldn't we cause some trouble for them?"
Qianjun Douluo glanced at the former and reminded him, "Xiao Long, don't forget we came here for Xu Sheng, as for Bi Bidong and others, it's better they don't show up, to avoid interference!"
Jiang Long Douluo hesitated for a moment, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fine, let's just treat it as giving you a face, too lazy to bother with Bi Bidong!!"
Qianjun Douluo cut off the other's nonsense and indicated, "Alright, stop chatting, let's head straight to the academy, I can sense Xu Sheng's aura is right there!"
As they spoke, the two freely unleashed their Soul Power...
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the academy where members of Spirit Hall Golden Generation were situated...
Upon seeing these sudden arrivals, the Spirit Hall Golden Generation members instantly recognized them.....
"That's... the Worship Hall's Qianjun Douluo and Jiang Long Douluo, why are they here again? Didn't they just leave after escorting Xu Sheng a while ago?"
"Who knows, but it seems they are not here to cause trouble, otherwise, how come Your Holiness hasn't appeared!"
"Maybe they want to instruct us in cultivation? After all, we're the future of Spirit Hall!!"
"Stop dreaming, don't you know the relationship between our Pope Hall and Worship Hall???"
Hulena said with some concern, "Brother, should we notify the teacher?"
Evil Moon shook his head, "No need, they're probably here for Xu Sheng!"
Flame frowned, "Could it be that after the escort last time, Xu Sheng offended the Worship Hall folks??"
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, he locked eyes with Qianjun Douluo.....
The terrifying pressure forced the former to take several steps back to barely stabilize himself...
Qianjun Douluo was somewhat surprised, thinking to himself, "To be able to stand directly facing me, the Spirit Hall Golden Generation isn't too shabby!"
"Kid, where is Xu Sheng? ?"
Flame swallowed, "I... I don't know, but Xu Sheng will... should be back soon!"
Hulena and Evil Moon exchanged glances, their eyes becoming more serious, yet they took no action...
They really came for Xu Sheng, so they shouldn't give us trouble!
Qianjun Douluo tried to hold back his impatience, "Xu Sheng happened to leave at this time, oh well, let's wait a little longer!"
Jiang Long Douluo seemed to think of something, licking his lips and said, "Just waiting is too dull, Qian Jun, why don't we spar with these kids?? See what they're capable of!"
Then, he turned his glowing eyes towards the Spirit Hall Golden Generation members...
Qianjun Douluo rolled his eyes, "At your level, you want to compete with a bunch of kids!"
Jiang Long Douluo pouted, "What does it matter, as long as I suppress my cultivation to the same level as theirs, won't that work?"
Immediately, he said in a somewhat arrogant tone, "Who among you wants to try?? Don't worry, I'll go easy on you!"
Everyone fell silent, nobody responded.....
Jiang Long Douluo sneered disdainfully, "Tsk, not even one person, it's just pitiful that Spirit Hall Golden Generation members have this little courage?? Makes me realize that Bi Bidong's claim of being the finest of their peers is overrated!"
"Pah! They might as well cancel it to avoid embarrassment!"
With such little courage, even with talent, their future achievements are sure to be limited!
Seems like I've overestimated Bi Bidong's judgment in selecting people!
Upon hearing the former's insult to Bi Bidong, Hulena and others showed a few traces of anger...
An indignant Flame stepped forward first, "I'll do it, I hope the senior will graciously instruct me!"
If it's a normal fight, there's no suspense!
But the other party already said they would suppress their power to the same level!
Maybe, I can fight!!
Evil Moon and Hulena tried to stop him, but it was evidently too late...
Jiang Long Douluo revealed a sinister smile, "Great, finally someone with courage, rest assured, at most you'll get a beating if you lose, won't lose your life!"
If I were to kill these kids in the Pope Hall, not only would Bi Bidong be furious, even the Grand Elder might punish me!!
....
When Chen Xinjie returned to the War God Hall, he found that the War Gods released by the Spirit Pagoda yesterday were still waiting...
Upon seeing him arrive, the War Gods all spoke in a respectful tone, "Hall Master!"
Standing not far away, Guan Yue appeared somewhat helpless, "Hall Master, they've been waiting here for several hours, refusing to leave!"
No matter how much persuasion, these War Gods seem determined to accept punishment for failing their mission!
Chen Xinjie simply nodded, then spoke in a concerned tone, "How have you all been resting? You must have endured considerable torment at the Spirit Pagoda?"
Every faction has its own interrogation departments, and Spirit Pagoda is no exception!
Despite these War Gods, when bound with Soul Suppressing Handcuffs, they're no different from ordinary people, except perhaps for slightly better physical strength!
This concerned tone left the War Gods momentarily stunned...
They had mentally prepared to endure any punishment and humiliation but didn't expect such gentleness from him!
