100: Tang Chen becomes the Shura High Priest
Dai Mubai's words also made Bibi Dong's face turn dark.
Clearly, Dai Mubai's words revealed only one purpose: a clear refusal and mockery.
Dai Mubai chose to completely ignore Bibi Dong's expression and directly stated the current situation before her.
"If you choose to cooperate with me now, everyone will be happy. Otherwise, Pope, guess if my current strength is already like this, isn't the background behind me enough to overthrow the Spirit Hall?"
Facing everything Dai Mubai said, Bibi Dong knew that what he said was all correct.
But it was impossible for her, who had been proud for half her life, to directly bow her head to Dai Mubai now.
The situation thus fell into a stalemate for a time. Bibi Dong recognized the current reality but was unwilling to bow her head due to her status, position, and inner pride.
Impatience also slowly appeared on Dai Mubai's face.
To prevent the mother and daughter from causing trouble in the future, Dai Mubai chose to soften his tone slightly.
"How about this, Pope, I can assist Qian Renxue in taking over the Heaven Dou Empire?"
Bibi Dong also knew that what Dai Mubai said was just nonsense; even without Dai Mubai's help, Qian Renxue taking over Heaven Dou was a sure thing.
However, since Dai Mubai had softened his stance, it would seem ungracious if she didn't respond. So, she nodded slightly and replied softly.
"Hmm... Since Dai Mubai, you are so sincere, our cooperation can be established."
The two implicitly forgot the previous unpleasantness, and then Dai Mubai didn't say anything further.
What he wanted from this visit was just Bibi Dong's attitude. He would clarify future matters with Bibi Dong later.
When Dai Mubai saw Bibi Dong looking hesitant to speak, he smiled slightly at the door, and his words dispelled much of Bibi Dong's current worries.
"Don't worry, Pope. When the time is right, I will find you to discuss everything clearly. As for other things you might be worried about, I can help you mother and daughter if needed."
Dai Mubai left the Spirit Hall with a big smile, swaggering.
At this moment, Bibi Dong almost broke down because of Dai Mubai's last sentence. Only Dai Mubai could say something like that.
If it were someone else, even a Peerless Douluo, Bibi Dong might have rushed up to fight without hesitation.
But there was nothing she could do. Not only did Dai Mubai's current strength suppress her, but judging by how Dai Mubai's Martial Soul could suppress her divine power after he became a God...
Dai Mubai was a peak existence even in the God Realm, not to mention that Dai Mubai had actually helped Bibi Dong.
He made her finally see Yu Xiaogang for who he was and eased the conflict with her daughter. In terms of reason, emotion, or any other aspect, Bibi Dong couldn't defeat Dai Mubai.
But thinking of the mysterious background behind Dai Mubai made Bibi Dong increasingly curious. Clearly, Bibi Dong didn't know that the more curious a woman is about a man, the more likely it is the beginning of her falling for him.
On the other side, after Tang San revealed his Haotian Hammer Martial Soul, he also successfully awakened Tang Chen.
Tang Chen looked at Tang San, feeling very satisfied. After all, Tang San was only sixteen years old yet already possessed the cultivation of a Soul Emperor.
However, Tang San's appearance, full of vengeful Spirits and killing intent, still made Tang Chen somewhat displeased.
However, Tang Chen only thought it was a side effect from the Slaughter City and didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he began to inquire about everything concerning Tang Hao.
Hearing Tang Chen mention this, Tang San was no longer sleepy and quickly recounted his experiences over the past two years, adding fuel to the fire.
After listening, Tang Chen immediately became furious. He hadn't expected the current Haotian Sect to be so cowardly.
The sect members were being hunted by the Spirit Hall, yet they didn't dare to even fart when being chased like this by the Spirit Hall, even quickly trying to distance themselves.
He then couldn't help but choke up. His favorite junior at the time, Tang Hao, was actually dead.
Furthermore, his great-grandson, Tang San, had been living a life of hiding and running for the past year.
But seeing his already somewhat dilapidated body at the moment, Tang Chen remembered Poseidon and said with some self-pity and resentment.
"Xiao San, it's not that Great-Grandfather doesn't want to help you get revenge, but Great-Grandfather's current strength is only two or three tenths of his peak, comparable to a level ninety-six Titled Douluo. Moreover, Great-Grandfather doesn't have much time left. Hao'er's revenge might not be possible for now."
When Tang San heard that Tang Chen's current strength was only two or three tenths of his peak, and that his current strength was still at the level of a ninety-six Titled Douluo, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
While inwardly marveling at Tang Chen's terrifying strength, he was also thinking about how to help his father get revenge as quickly as possible.
At this moment, Tang San suddenly slapped his forehead. His great-grandfather had fallen to this state because of the Shura God's trial.
As the current successor of the Shura God, he could plead with the Shura God and see if he could get some miraculous elixir to help his great-grandfather quickly recover his strength.
As Tang San continuously called out to the Shura God in his mind, explaining that he had completed the first trial of the Shura Nine Trials...
Although the Shura God hadn't yet decided on the subsequent trials at this moment, he could only send down a divine sense to communicate with Tang San.
"Not bad, your first trial was completed very smoothly. As a reward, your Soul Power will increase by one level, and your affinity with the Shura God will increase by five percent."
After speaking, the Shura God seemed to have nothing more to say. After all, he hadn't decided on the second trial yet.
After the grandfather and grandson, Tang San and Tang Chen, paid their respects to the Shura God, Tang San saw that the Shura God had nothing further to say and tentatively opened his mouth to ask.
"Lord Shura God, my great-grandfather has fallen to this state because he failed the trial. Do you have a way to save him?"
Hearing this, the Shura God immediately rejected Tang San's request with an undeniable tone.
At the same time, he looked at Tang Chen with a hint of disdain in his heart. How could he possibly use his divine power again because of a failure?
Not only did it not conform to the rules, but he also felt that if he acted, it would lower his standing as the Shura God in front of Tang San.
"No, this is the punishment that those who fail the trial deserve. How could I interfere with the lower realm because of this?"
Hearing the Shura God's righteous words, Tang Chen couldn't help but sigh. Just as he was about to comfort Tang San and tell him not to worry about him...
"Then, Lord Shura God, if I encounter the successor of the God of Mad Beasts, but his background is very powerful and I am at a disadvantage, what should I do?"
Tang San suddenly opened his mouth and threw this question to the Shura God.
This was also something Tang San thought of after hearing the Shura God's refusal, racking his brain for a way that might make the Shura God change his mind.
At the time, Tang San was just trying it out because of the Shura God's instructions, but these words directly put the Shura God in a difficult position.
Although Tang San only said 'if', he, the Shura God, knew that anyone who could become a God's successor...
Their talent was naturally extremely terrifying. He himself wouldn't believe they had no background behind them.
If at that time his successor was truly at a disadvantage against the successor of the God of Mad Beasts because of their background...
This was something the Shura God could not accept. So, after thinking for a while, the Shura God pretended to propose a so-called plan that would satisfy both parties.
"What you said is not without reason. Then, Tang Chen, are you willing to become my High Priest of the Shura God?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Tang Chen nodded repeatedly, indicating his willingness. After all, he wasn't stupid and immediately saw the Shura God's intention behind these words.
Since he, Tang Chen, could no longer inherit the Shura God's position, he still wanted to see Poseidon and get revenge for his junior.
Seeing this, the Shura God nodded in satisfaction and bestowed a surge of divine power upon Tang Chen to help him recover from his injuries.
Because in the current situation, he was merely making the previous trial failure into a status similar to a guide.
This way, it neither violated the justice in his heart nor prevented Tang Chen from helping Tang San eliminate the successor of the God of Mad Beasts.
