Chapter 53 The Situation
The four split into four directions, each absorbing the medicinal power in a corner, while Chen Feng and Bone Douluo sat not far away, quietly guarding them.
This is the courtyard of the two guardian elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. It is absolutely quiet and no one will easily disturb it.
While they were absorbing the medicinal effects, Chen Feng's smile gradually faded, and he turned serious as he faced Bone Douluo. "Grandpa Bone," he said, "I often travel outside and have some understanding of the Spirit Hall. Under Bibi Dong's leadership, they have rapidly expanded their power. Now, many of the vassal kingdoms of the two great empires are following the Spirit Hall's lead. What are they planning to do? I think we must make plans as soon as possible!"
Bone Douluo nodded, a relieved smile on his face. "It's truly remarkable that you can see these things at such a young age."
"Yes, ever since Bibi Dong became Pope, the Spirit Hall has been quietly expanding its power. Jianren, Fengzhi, and I are all well aware of this."
Chen Feng asked, "Doesn't the sect have any countermeasures?"
"well--"
Bone Douluo sighed, "It is said that the three upper sects are closely connected, but the Clear Sky Sect has retired, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is quite far away."
"We had no choice but to befriend the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family, hoping to rely on their powerful army to deter the Spirit Hall."
Chen Feng felt a wave of pessimism after hearing this. Although the sect's higher-ups had taken some precautions, they had still underestimated the Spirit Hall's ambitions.
He glanced at Bone Douluo, opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.
"If I told Bone Douluo that the current Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is the daughter of the previous Pope of the Spirit Hall, would he believe me?" Chen Feng wondered to himself.
Bone Douluo glanced at him, then suddenly laughed and scolded, "What are you thinking, kid? Your eyes are darting around like that. You're much more cunning than your grandpa!"
"hey-hey!"
Chen Feng scratched his head sheepishly.
"Grandpa Bone, what I want to say is, haven't we all underestimated the Spirit Hall's ambition? With so many Title Douluos, are they really content to be just a holy land for Soul Masters?"
Bone Douluo said calmly, "Do they really intend to unify the world?"
"Maybe it really is!"
Bone Douluo suddenly chuckled, "You brat, you underestimate the seven major sects and all the heroes of the world. If the Spirit Hall really does this, they will all attack us. Even if they have several Title Douluos, they won't be able to stop us."
Chen Feng's heart pounded, and he suddenly felt an urge to tell the whole truth.
But this was just an impulse, which he quickly suppressed with his reason.
Chen Feng patiently and guidingly said, "Grandpa Bone, please think about this carefully. If the Spirit Hall really has this ambition, wouldn't it be quietly developing its own power?"
"I mean, could the number of Title Douluos they possess far exceed the number they openly display? In addition, I've heard they also have a Hall of Worship and a Grand Elder named Qian Daoliu..."
Take a sip.
As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, Bone Douluo stood up. His tall frame was like a living ghost, and his sudden rise was astonishing.
Clearly, Chen Feng's words reminded him of something, and his face instantly darkened as he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
However, upon seeing the others absorbing the medicinal power, Bone Douluo suppressed his impatience and forced himself to sit back down.
"Boy, how do you know so much? The elders of the Spirit Hall are detached from worldly affairs and almost never show their faces. And that Qian Daoliu, I've never even seen him. How do you know he exists?"
Bone Douluo lowered his voice and roared.
Chen Feng's words touched his heart; this was clearly not something a small Soul Sect member could access.
Even he had never met Qian Daoliu in person. He was a living legend in the Soul Master world, and also a sword hanging over the heads of all the major sects, except for the Spirit Hall.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo are known as the twin pillars of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, excelling in both sword and bone techniques. However, based on what Bone Douluo has heard, if they were to actually encounter Qian Daoliu, even if the two of them joined forces, they would be defeated!
When faced with Bone Douluo's question, Chen Feng had already prepared his answer.
He slowly activated his martial spirit.
Yellow, purple, purplish-black.
The four spirit rings were neatly arranged.
Bone Douluo was taken aback for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Kid, what's the meaning of you suddenly showing me your spirit rings?"
Dust Wind had already told Sword Douluo about his fourth spirit ring, which was of ten thousand years quality, when he returned from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, so Bone Douluo was not surprised to know about it.
"Grandpa Bone, are you a little surprised when you see my spirit ring configuration?" Chen Feng asked.
Bone Douluo was taken aback. What connection did this have with the Spirit Hall?
However, he still replied, "I was quite surprised when I first heard the swordsman mention it."
Chen Feng said expressionlessly, "Yes, the Spirit Hall was quite surprised too."
"What do you mean?"
Chen Feng said, "On my way to the Star Luo Empire to find my teammates, I was attacked by the two purple-robed bishops of the Spirit Hall of Pisno City."
"What? A purple-robed bishop? That's at least a Soul King level. How did you escape?" Bone Douluo was taken aback, then his eyes narrowed and a murderous aura surged forth.
Chen Feng said, "I was lucky enough to kill them, but I was also seriously injured. The information I just mentioned was obtained from them."
After listening, Bone Douluo remained silent, his eyes constantly shifting.
He didn't even bother asking Chen Feng how he managed to kill the two Soul Kings; relatively speaking, the news concerning the Spirit Hall was more important.
The purple-robed bishops already hold a high position in the Spirit Hall; they are an absolute backbone force, and their actions often indicate that the Spirit Hall's policies have been implemented.
Knowing that Chen Feng possessed the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul, why did they still send two purple-robed bishops to launch a surprise attack? Weren't they afraid of offending the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?
Or perhaps they were already prepared!?
With so many reasons involved, it's hard not to think about it!
"It seems the situation is even worse than we imagined. Once Feng Zhi and the cowardly man return, the sect must hold a crucial meeting. We must find a way to quickly improve this situation," Bone Douluo said in a deep voice.
"Cough cough..."
Chen Feng cleared his throat. "Grandpa Gu, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Bones asked in surprise, "What else do you have to say?"
Chen Feng said, "Didn't I go to the Po Clan and the Yu Clan this time? I had a very pleasant conversation with Senior Yang Wudi and Senior Niu Gao. They both have plans to form an alliance with our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and even proposed to move the sect's address to our Seven Treasure City."
