"Sixth Priest, Thousand-Weight Douluo?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke in a low voice, his expression filled with doubt.
"Dead Chrysanthemum, are you sure you didn't see wrong?"
Ghost Douluo clenched his fists. He knew that if the Hall of Worship intervened to share the rewards, it would be impossible.
At this time, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong also landed back on the ground. They naturally wouldn't let the Elder Palace's interests be compromised.
But Thousand-Weight Douluo's attitude was firm: "I have come under the orders of the High Priest to help you. I didn't expect everyone's cooperation to be so impressive, resolving the danger quickly. I admire you greatly, but the rewards obtained still need to be presented to the High Priest for a look. If you want them, you can come to the Hall of Worship in the future."
He really was thick-skinned; he was just trying to reap the benefits without doing the work, yet he made it sound so high-sounding.
"Heh, the Hall of Worship has been silent for so long. Why are they suddenly interfering in the affairs of my Elder Palace?"
Bibi Dong was angry. After all, Spirit Hall had endured many troubles over the past few days, and she was certainly more dissatisfied encountering such an overbearing fellow.
"The world situation has changed so drastically; the Hall of Worship's actions are naturally a bit special. I ask His Holiness the Pope to be more understanding."
Thousand-Weight Douluo was polite on the surface, but he made it clear that the rewards must belong to their Spirit Hall. This was direct robbery.
Chu Feng originally wanted to comfort Xiao Wu, but it seemed this matter would have to be delayed for a few minutes. Now, he teleported directly behind Thousand-Weight Douluo and struck out with a palm.
He caught Thousand-Weight Douluo off guard. Of course, the latter didn't even have time to use his spirit power before his chest took the blow head-on, causing his chest to vibrate and blood to spray from his mouth, his spirit instantly withering by half.
"You, you dare to touch the Hall of Worship?"
Thousand-Weight Douluo was first shocked, then shouted angrily:
"Don't think that just because you're some Hall Master, you can act recklessly. You should know that your title is only recognized by the Elder Palace; our Hall of Worship does not recognize it."
Chu Feng replied lightly: "I don't care who you are. I just want to tell you one fact: don't be too arrogant, or your end will be just like those two demonic beasts."
Whoosh~
Hearing this, everyone felt a sudden chill. Even though Chu Feng's strength was incredibly powerful, challenging the authority of the Hall of Worship was perhaps too rash. Looking at the current situation, the resources and strength of the Hall of Worship still far exceeded those of the Elder Palace, and rumors said they had obtained the strongest opportunities in the world.
Qian Renxue was also slightly surprised. Of course, she knew the future and her emotional connection to Qian Daoliu wasn't particularly intense, but the Hall of Worship was still the core level of Spirit Hall. Chu Feng was giving Qian Daoliu no face at all.
Then Chu Feng continued majestically: "Leave the things behind, and by the way, bring a message to Qian Daoliu. If there is something, say it openly and honestly. Don't stick your nose in where it doesn't belong."
"You..."
Thousand-Weight Douluo saw the treasures were about to slip away, but he didn't dare to move. He had secretly seen Chu Feng's performance in hunting those two demonic beasts, which made him very wary.
"In my opinion, how about the Hall Master lets it go? Harmony brings wealth."
Ghost Douluo acted as the peacemaker. He naturally believed in Chu Feng's ability and character, but he cared more about his job in Spirit Hall.
"Exactly, Hall Master, please consider more. These rewards might still be distributed to us in the future."
Under the pressure of the Hall of Worship, Chrysanthemum Douluo also changed his tune.
This made Bibi Dong a bit troubled as well. She could only look at Chu Feng, not knowing what choice to make.
Chu Feng certainly insisted on himself and continued: "I'll say it again, hand them over to me."
Thousand-Weight Douluo looked up, gritting his teeth; he was truly unwilling.
Then his chest was struck by another punch, and the treasures stored in his pocket with spirit power scattered all over the ground.
"You are betraying the Hall of Worship! You are trampling on the rules of Spirit Hall!"
Thousand-Weight Douluo spoke righteously, as if stealing someone else's things was justified.
Chu Feng didn't even bother to respond. After taking back the treasures, he turned and walked away as if nothing had happened.
This action made the four Elders present feel ashamed, and their expressions became even more conflicted.
Even Xiao Wu, who was silently watching the show from the side, showed a look of astonishment. She really didn't expect Chu Feng to be so overbearing.
"So, the Sixth Priest is still not satisfied?"
Qian Renxue also spoke up. She was unswervingly on Chu Feng's side; the Hall of Worship was nothing to her.
And Bibi Dong naturally followed suit; she had long disliked the Hall of Worship.
Thousand-Weight Douluo also knew he had no say here anymore. He spat a few times and stood up unsteadily.
"When the High Priest returns from Mount Buzhou, there will definitely be an explanation for today's matter. Also, you're acting so impulsively; I don't think you can even deal with Tang Hao. What do you think he relied on to demonize these demonic beasts? We in the Hall of Worship have been investigating secretly for several days and still haven't found out. You're too naive."
Thousand-Weight Douluo slipped away after leaving these words; his attitude was somewhat sensible.
From his words, it seemed Tang Hao's matter was also connected to the Hall of Worship, while the Elder Palace was kept in the dark. At the same time, Qian Daoliu had gone to Mount Buzhou. This infighting indeed looked like a great surging tide, truly like Pandora's box releasing infinite magic.
Chu Feng might have guessed Thousand-Weight Douluo's purpose today; taking these treasures to Qian Daoliu would be the most loyal tribute.
"Hmph."
Chu Feng chuckled after thinking. He was laughing at these people for always making things so complicated.
Then he came to Xiao Wu and handed one of the spirit rings to her.
"What do you mean by this?" Xiao Wu asked with a bit of hostility.
Chu Feng said: "With this as a promise, I will help you get revenge and kill Tang Hao."
Such a straightforward friendly gesture was difficult for Xiao Wu to understand.
However, Chu Feng didn't intend to explain much. He then distributed the treasures to Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, and the rest to the two Elders, Devil Bear and Flame Eagle.
As for Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, there were no rewards for them due to their cowardly performance.
They were extremely regretful now. They had missed out on the treasures right in front of them and felt so much regret. Moreover, they realized a truth too late: as long as they had one of these treasures, wouldn't they have the strength to counter the Hall of Worship? Why did they speak up for them just now?
After Qian Renxue took the treasure, she looked at Xiao Wu coldly and questioned Chu Feng: "Do you think she will follow you sincerely?"
"Otherwise? I'll tell you a truth. Tang San treated her as a friend, but she was just a tool he had grown accustomed to using. So Tang San's death means nothing to her. Besides, Tang Hao even hurt her friends. In this regard, she can only seek help from us."
Chu Feng said this very clearly, and Xiao Wu took it in. Although she didn't temporarily understand the full meaning, she vaguely felt it was right.
And Qian Renxue fell into thought. Her level of disgust for Tang San rose once again; he truly deserved to die.
