"It's basically confirmed that in the forbidden area of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, there are Thundering Hell Vine that are over ten thousand years old."
As night fell, after Ning Rongrong and the others had found out the news, Xuan Ming headed directly towards the Spirit Temple.
"Are you planning to leave now?" Bibi Dong asked.
"Yeah." Xuan Ming nodded.
"The auction house incident has caused a huge stir. If nothing unexpected happens, Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi, and people from the seven major families will be blocking my door tomorrow morning."
"Maybe it's on the way now."
Bibi Dong thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you go to the back and rest for a while. I'll get ready and leave soon. We should be able to reach the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect early tomorrow morning."
"Yeah." Xuan Ming responded, turned around and walked out of the hall through the side door.
Now he no longer needs to be sneaky when coming to the Spirit Temple like before. After all, what happened at the auction house during the day was so serious, and he doesn't need to get too close to the Tiandou royal family in the future.
Hu Liena was waiting at the door of the side hall.
Seeing Xuan Ming coming out, Hu Liena hurriedly came over to him, "Are you okay?"
Xuan Ming was slightly stunned, "What can happen to me?"
"I heard everything about the auction house." Hu Liena said.
"Don't be impulsive. This matter won't be easily resolved. The seven major families..."
"Wait a minute, you misunderstood." Xuan Ming interrupted.
"I was indeed angry about what happened at the auction, but it was mainly because they were playing me like a monkey."
"I did what I had to do, but they didn't do what they had to do."
"The contract has broken down, and I won't count on them anymore."
"Broken?" Hu Liena was slightly stunned.
"Then what do you do next..."
"The auction house openly violated the laws of the two empires, and the Tiandou royal family turned a blind eye to it. Don't you think this is a good excuse for the Spirit Hall to win over the people?" Xuan Ming said.
"But..." Hu Liena bit her lip lightly.
"Grandpa Ghost told me that many people from the Spirit Hall were also involved in this kind of thing."
Those who are in high positions and hold power will always think of squandering the power and authority in their hands through various means.
This is true for the nobles of the two empires, the powerful soul masters, and the Spirit Hall is no exception.
A large number of local bishops in the Spirit Hall are almost local emperors. Even officials from the two empires and local city lords have to pay tribute to them.
These layers of interest connections even spread to the Elders' Hall!
Many of the Titled Douluo Elders in the Elder Hall have their own families. Perhaps they don't care about these things, but their families do.
If this matter continues to escalate, it will not be a good thing for the Spirit Hall.
If the Spirit Hall uses this incident to win over people's hearts, to put it bluntly, who is cleaner?
What's more, these interest networks have long been deeply rooted and cannot be shaken or changed overnight.
"This is not something I should consider." Xuan Ming said.
"That's for the Pope to worry about, if she's interested."
He had discussed this issue with Qian Renxue before, and Qian Renxue's answer was very direct and realistic.
Can't control it.
Officials of the two empires pursued promotion and wealth, while the soul masters of the Spirit Hall pursued power and higher status.
And what is the purpose of pursuing these things?
Isn't it just to satisfy your own desires?
If those in higher positions have no privileges, if a platinum bishop of the Spirit Hall can do the same things as a commoner in the fields and is subject to the same rules, then why would this powerful spirit master join the Spirit Hall?
Is it possible to have strength and power, yet be like someone without strength and power?
Obviously impossible.
If the Spirit Hall were to eliminate or prohibit these privileges, then the Spirit Hall itself would have to be disbanded.
What powerful soul master with a brain would be willing to join an organization that has no privileges, is subject to various rules and regulations, and has to be driven by his superiors?
In the past, the Spirit Hall had always been neutral in the spirit master world, and together with the seven major sects, it maintained order in the spirit master world.
The core force of the Spirit Hall, the Angel Family, has always held the highest voice in the Spirit Hall since its establishment because they are the most powerful. The core of the Angel Family, the Seraph Family, has no interest in the struggle for power among these mortals.
They claim to be descendants of God. They were born in the sky, possessing the most powerful force in the mortal world and the inheritance of the gods. They disdain to lower themselves to compete with mortals for these mundane things.
To put it bluntly, they don't consider themselves human beings. As descendants of God, they think they are also gods.
The emperors of the two empires were appointed by heaven, while the Seraph family claimed to be heaven.
Therefore, they have no interest in caring about what the people under the Spirit Hall do as long as it does not infringe upon their interests.
It's just a boring farce between mortal ants, not worth their attention.
"Then will you continue to stay in Tiandou City in the future?" Hu Liena asked.
"If we fall out with the Tiandou royal family and the seven major families, it will be unsafe outside. You should..."
"Let's talk about it later." Xuan Ming said.
He couldn't stay in Tiandou City for long, but it was impossible for him to go to Wuhun City either.
He didn't want to gamble on Qian Daoliu's whim.
"Nana, we're going to be away for a few days. I've already told Bishop Salas and the others about the Spirit Temple. You can take my place."
Just when Hu Liena was about to say something, Bibi Dong, who had changed her clothes, came out, followed by Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
"Are they going too?" Xuan Ming asked in confusion.
"After all, we have to go to the forbidden area of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan to obtain the spirit ring. To put it bluntly, what we are doing is no different from destroying the place." Bibi Dong said.
"It's better to be safe. Now is not the time to break off relations with the seven major sects."
"But do you think it's safe for her to stay here alone?" Xuan Ming looked at Hu Liena.
He is missing, Bibi Dong is also missing, Qian Renxue will definitely come to the Spirit Temple to find out.
If Yue Guan and Gui Mei were not there, Hu Liena would be in trouble.
Qian Renxue only changed her attitude towards him, but not towards others, let alone Hu Liena.
"Don't worry, I have talked to several bishops and they know what to do." Bibi Dong said.
Half a year ago in the Sunset Forest, several platinum bishops led by Salas, probably hoping to get in touch with Qian Daoliu, kidnapped Hu Liena and took her to the Sunset Forest.
But now Qian Daoliu has returned to Wuhun City, and she, the Pope, is still there.
If there were to be any further problems, Sarath and the others knew very well that as the Pope, she was never one to show mercy.
"Teacher, where are you going?" Hu Liena asked in confusion.
"Such a big event?"
"Help him obtain the fifth soul ring." Bibi Dong said.
Hu Liena was stunned.
"Fifth soul ring? Didn't he just..."
"Just reached level 50." Xuan Ming said.
Hu Liena's expression froze.
Okay, originally my soul power level was at least higher than yours, but now it's not as high as yours!
"Aren't you going to give that thing to her?" Xuan Ming looked at Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong's expression was a little unnatural.
"The resentment in there is too dangerous. I haven't dealt with it yet."
Xuan Ming thought for a moment and said, "I'll try it when I get back."
The Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox has fallen for hundreds of thousands of years. What remains now is just the residual soul formed by the resentment before her death, not the real Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox.
According to the Ice Dragon King, the residual soul of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox was originally lodged in the Nine-tailed Fox Heart Lotus, but after meeting Bibi Dong, the weak residual soul grew stronger with the help of the resentment in Bibi Dong, and even merged into the evil thoughts of the Rakshasa, becoming a part of Bibi Dong's divine test.
In other words, the remaining soul of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox is mainly in Bibi Dong. As for the Nine-tailed Fox Heart Lotus, at most there is still some resentment left.
As long as I leave Bibi Dong, that little bit of resentment won't matter...
wrong.
Xuan Ming looked at Bibi Dong with a somewhat evasive gaze.
The power of resentment, this is what Bibi Dong plays with. Although she is only halfway through her divine test and is far from enough to control the power of Rakshasa, it is impossible for her not to see that the resentment of the Nine-tailed Fox Heart Lotus will only be so powerful if it relies on her.
If that's the case, why does Bibi Dong carry this thing with her every day?
