156: Chapter 156 The Spirit Hall's Top Combat Force

"Xiao Wen, come on, accompany me for a walk!"

"Aunt Ye, I still have to go to the Spirit Master Academy."

"Hmph, you slack off all the time anyway; missing this one time won't matter."

Leaving the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Ye Yuaner took Su Wen's hand, not allowing him to refuse as they headed into Spirit City.

Ye Yuaner enthusiastically wandered around Spirit City, buying quite a few clothes for Su Wen along the way.

Just as the two were preparing to return to Spirit Hall, two very luxurious carriages passed by, and one of them stopped in front of them.

"His Highness the Holy Son, what a coincidence!"

A gentle voice came through, and as the curtain was pulled back, Xue Qinghe looked at Su Wen with a smile.

He stepped down from the carriage and bowed slightly toward Ye Yuaner: "Qinghe greets Your Excellency Spirit Kite!"

"Mm."

Ye Yuaner responded calmly.

Su Wen spoke up curiously: "Why has Your Highness the Crown Prince come to Spirit City?"

"Speaking of which, I was just about to ask the Saint what has happened in Spirit Hall to suddenly mobilize such a large number of Spirit Masters. My Imperial Father sent me here to inquire about the reason. Likewise, if possible, the Heaven Dou Empire is ready to provide assistance at any time."

Xue Qinghe spoke very casually, but Su Wen couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly.

There are no outsiders here, so why the act?

The person in the carriage ahead should be Prince Xue Xing, right?!

"This... you should probably ask the Supreme Pontiff in person."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I won't be accompanying you any further."

Without waiting for Xue Qinghe to speak, Su Wen turned and led Ye Yuaner away.

The following days were very peaceful, but as a large number of Spirit Masters returned to Spirit City, the entire city fell into a strange atmosphere of strategic preparation.

One day, as Su Wen came out of the Supreme Pontiff Palace, he ran into Xue Qinghe again.

The two exchanged greetings with smiles on the surface, and then Xue Qinghe stepped into the Supreme Pontiff Palace.

Bibi Dong, seated upon the throne of the Supreme Pontiff, glanced over slightly. She watched Xue Qinghe approach but said nothing, continuing to handle official business.

Xue Qinghe stood there, also silent. As the doors of the Supreme Pontiff Palace suddenly closed, a faint golden light shimmered on Xue Qinghe's body.

Soon, a woman dressed in a bright gold dress appeared in the hall.

Her phoenix eyes were slightly slender, and her face was exquisitely beautiful with an air of authority, though a hint of complexity flickered in her gaze as she looked at Bibi Dong.

Her red lips moved, spitting out words in a sarcastic tone: "I have never seen the high and mighty Supreme Pontiff care so much about a man. I even heard he is specially permitted to Cultivate in your bedchamber every night!"

Bibi Dong put down her work and looked over with a faint gaze: "If you came here just to say these things, then please leave."

Qian Renxue clenched her fist and then slowly relaxed it: "How have you considered the matter of the political marriage? Emperor Xue Ye has essentially agreed. As long as the Saint is engaged to Princess Xue Ke, the Heaven Dou Empire will have no choice but to side with Spirit Hall!"

Bibi Dong spoke calmly: "If you feel you are incompetent and unable to control the Heaven Dou Empire, I can send someone else in your place."

Qian Renxue was instantly provoked. She let out a soft hmph and turned to leave: "Bibi Dong, the affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire do not require anyone else's interference!"

Bibi Dong watched her silently, never saying a word.

Outside the hall.

Su Wen had not left, and Bi Ji was standing beside him.

Watching Qian Renxue, still disguised as Xue Qinghe, walk out.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, why does your complexion look so poor?"

"You worry too much!"

Xue Qinghe forced a smile, looking at this guy and particularly wanting to give him a beating.

Suddenly, she noticed Bi Ji staring at her with a gaze that seemed to see through everything.

"A-Wen, she seems to be a woman!"

Bi Ji watched as Qian Renxue departed in a hurry.

She suddenly blurted out that sentence.

Bi Ji possessed over five hundred thousand years of Soul Power, and her Mental Energy already reigned supreme among the Limit rank.

Qian Renxue's disguise was, after all, just a ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine year Angel Spirit Bone.

With Bi Ji's careful observation, it was easy to understand her situation.

Su Wen didn't feel surprised.

He didn't explain anything and directly went to the Supreme Pontiff Palace with Bi Ji. The Spirit Masters of Spirit Hall had basically all returned; it was time to head to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Three days later!

In the square of the Supreme Pontiff Palace, all experts at the Spirit Saint level and above had gathered.

Su Wen, Hu Liena, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Tian Yue saw the true top-tier combat power of Spirit Hall for the first time.

Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong stood before the palace doors. As a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo, even if for some reason her current strength was at the level ninety-eight Peak Douluo level.

High Priest Qian Daoliu, level ninety-nine super Douluo.

Second Consecrator Gold Crocodile Douluo, level ninety-eight Peak Douluo.

Level ninety-seven Azure Luan Douluo!

Level ninety-seven Lion Douluo!

Thousand Jun and Demon Subduing Douluo were both level ninety-six beings.

Level ninety-six Spirit Kite Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo!

level 95 Ghost Douluo.

Level ninety-four Devil Bear and Ghost Leopard Douluo.

The Spirit Hall Angel Legion was entirely composed of flying Spirit Masters at the Spirit Saint level or higher.

Seventy-six people!

The number of Spirit Douluos among them accounted for half, with the highest reaching level eighty-nine.

The number of experts at the Spirit Saint level and above recalled from outside exceeded five hundred.

Led by more than twenty Cardinals, they stood in an orderly fashion.

Ye Lingling's mother, Ye Qingxian, had also temporarily formed a support team of over three hundred people, all of whom were support Spirit Masters at the Spirit Emperor level or higher.

Spirit Hall controlled seventy percent of the continent's Spirit Masters.

In Su Wen's view, this amount of high-level combat power actually seemed a bit low.

Light Feather Douluo didn't come; presumably, Qian Daoliu had him stay behind to guard their home.

"High Priest!"

The High Priest, who usually stayed in the Hall of Worship, was actually leading the other Consecrators to participate in this mission.

This made all the Spirit Masters in the square feel a sense of tension.

"Set out!"

"To the Star Dou Great Forest!"

Bibi Dong's Supreme Pontiff scepter struck the ground, and her voice, carried by Soul Power, spread to the surroundings.

The Angel Legion was the first to take flight, and the entire procession flew toward the outskirts of Spirit City.

"A-Wen, we aren't here to fight!"

Bi Ji whispered an admonition from the side.

She felt that Spirit Hall was taking this far too seriously.

The Star Dou Great Forest hadn't shown any signs of wanting to start a war.

With this kind of posture from Spirit Hall, it almost felt like they intended to destroy the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't act recklessly, Spirit Hall won't do anything either."

Before Su Wen could speak, Ye Yuaner had already come over.

She would personally take Su Wen.

As for Bi Ji, she could not stay by A-Wen's side for the time being.

"Alright then!"

Bi Ji sighed; now she could only hope that no accidents would occur.

"Senior Brother, come back soon!"

Hu Liena was somewhat worried, and Dugu Yan spoke softly: "We'll wait for you!"

"Boss, do you want to sneak me along?"

Tian Yue leaned in secretly.

Su Wen flicked her forehead: "You all just stay obediently in Spirit City!"

"I get it!"

Tian Yue rubbed her head innocently.

Ye Lingling chuckled from the side and then spoke softly: "A-Wen..."

The next moment, Su Wen's feet suddenly left the ground as Ye Yuaner grabbed him and flew directly into the air.

She had already grown impatient from waiting.
