"Royal Uncle, how are things?"
Xue Xing soon returned to his manor. Xue Beng, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed over anxiously upon seeing him.
"What kind of behavior is this, rushing around in such a hurry?" Looking at Xue Beng's flustered appearance, Xue Xing recalled Xue Qinghe's calm and refined demeanor, and an inexplicable anger flared in his heart.
The difference between the two was indeed vast. If it weren't for the sake of his own life, he wouldn't want to go against Xue Qinghe.
Startled by Xue Xing's roar, Xue Beng's body trembled in fear but he quickly recovered. It must be said that after acting for so long, he still had some shrewdness.
"His Majesty has already handed over the matters of the Sun Moon Continent to Xue Qinghe for full discretion, and intends to give him military command," Xue Xing briefly explained the events of the evening, concluding.
"What should we do?!" Hearing this, Xue Beng immediately lost his composure, pacing anxiously in front of Xue Xing. "Xue Qinghe already has the support of many ministers and even has Ning Fengzhi as his teacher. If he gains military command as well, then we will have no chance at all."
Xue Xing remained silent about this; how could he not know that Xue Qinghe's power was already overwhelming?
"I should just avoid Big Brother from now on. I pose no threat to his throne, and he won't ruthlessly kill me for fear of public opinion. I'll just be a carefree prince from now on." Seeing that Xue Xing also had no solution, Xue Beng chose to give up.
"Bastard!" Xue Xing cursed angrily upon hearing this. "Think about the fates of your second and third brothers. Do you think he's as gentle as he appears on the surface?"
"When he holds all the power, your death will just be a word from him. Also, your maternal uncle's family will be suppressed by him and devoured by others until not even their bones remain."
"This won't work, that won't work. Royal Uncle, what do you suggest I do?" Xue Beng was completely at a loss for ideas now, looking at Xue Xing dejectedly.
Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Xue Xing's eyes, and he said to Xue Beng in a low voice, "You go back first. I have my own arrangements for what comes next."
Seeing that Xue Xing was unwilling to say more, Xue Beng reluctantly stood up, put on his hood, and disappeared into the prince's manor under the cover of night.
That night, several dark figures flashed out from the prince's manor, their destination unknown... On the other side, in front of Spirit City, a flying Spirit Master quietly landed.
"Reporting to Your Eminence, Bishop Salas of Heaven Dou City has sent a letter." Ghost Douluo led Chrysanthemum Douluo into the Supreme Pontiff Palace together, bowing in salute.
"En." Bibi Dong nodded slightly, drawing the letter into her hand. She unhurriedly opened and read it. A moment later, she straightened slightly, her eyes flickering.
After a brief thought, she looked up at Elder Ju and Ghost Douluo, raising her hand to control the letter to float out. "Elder Ju, Elder Ghost, take a look."
"Yes, Pope Your Eminence."
Elder Ju and Elder Ghost's eyes flickered, and doubt arose in their hearts, but their actions were very sincere. They bowed slightly, respectfully taking the letter to read.
"How is this possible?!"
After quickly scanning the letter, even the well-informed Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
A brand new continent, long-lost spirit tools, new Titled Douluo powerhouses—compared to these, the Elephant Armored Academy and Salas's specially fabricated grievances seemed insignificant.
"Elder Ju, Elder Ghost, what are your thoughts on this matter?" Bibi Dong felt no surprise looking at the shocked Elder Ju and Elder Ghost. Such a fantastical matter would have made even her tremble when she first saw it. Fortunately, having held the position of Pope for many years, her shrewdness was profound, so she didn't expose anything.
"Reporting to Your Eminence, regarding the matters of the Sun Moon Continent, there are no records within the Hall. If the situation is true, this matter is of great importance, and we truly do not know how to view it," Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head repeatedly, cupping his hands.
"En." Bibi Dong nodded slightly, leaning back on the Papal Throne. Her voluminous Papal robes could not hide her proud figure. After a moment of contemplation, she slowly spoke, "Have Lordial lead a squad of Hall Guardian Knights to sea to determine the location of the Sun Moon Continent. Once confirmed, Elder Ju, you will be responsible for leading intelligence personnel to gather detailed information about the other side."
"This subordinate accepts the order!" Hearing Bibi Dong's command, Chrysanthemum Douluo cupped his hands towards Bibi Dong.
"Elder Ghost, you are to go to Heaven Dou City immediately. I want more intelligence on the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. If possible, invite that Titled Douluo to visit our Spirit Hall's Douluo Hall." After Chrysanthemum Douluo accepted his order, Bibi Dong looked at Ghost Douluo and instructed.
"As you command!" Ghost Douluo was relatively 'socially anxious' and responded softly.
"Alright, you may both withdraw for now." Bibi Dong nodded slightly and waved her hand.
"Yes, Pope Your Eminence." The two cupped their hands in unison and turned to leave.
After the two left, Bibi Dong was the only one left in the grand hall. She sat there quietly, closing her eyes in thought, murmuring.
"Sun Moon Continent… spirit tool…"
At the same time, the Hall of Enshrinement also received news from Heaven Dou City.
The Seven Great Priests were not concerned about this. Powerful spirit tools?
Could they harm them?
They dispatched a team of Angel Legion to the Sun Moon Continent to gather intelligence, instructing that the information be handed over to Qian Renxue immediately, and then paid no further attention, peacefully contemplating their future realms... "These past few days, the Visiting Card from various families could already pile up into a small mountain."
Inside the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, Xu Tianyang and a few others gathered. Xu Yunxiao pointed at the many invitations not far away, chuckling lightly.
"No need to pay them any mind." Xu Tianyang shook his head, put down his teacup, and said, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been very proactive recently. It seems they've realized the power of the spirit tools they bought back. We can foster good relations with them; they will be our major clients in the future."
"Tianyang, don't worry, Third Uncle still has some skill in this area." Xu Sheng chuckled. These past few days, he and Ning Fengzhi, two old foxes, had been chatting happily.
Listening to music at the pleasure quarter today, listening to music at the pleasure quarter tomorrow... Oh, the people of Heaven Dou City are truly enthusiastic; he was almost enjoying himself too much to think of returning.
Hearing this, Xu Tianyang nodded. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School coveted the Sun Moon Empire's spirit tools, and why wouldn't they covet the other side's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's auxiliary abilities were still top-notch even ten thousand years later. Its value was much higher than the Clear Sky Hammer's title as the number one weapon Spirit and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's title as the number one beast Spirit.
"The situation on the Douluo Continent has begun, and it's time for us to return to the Sun Moon Continent. There are too many people watching here; it's no longer suitable as an intelligence gathering point." Xu Yunxiao slowly spoke. Seeing everyone nod, he then turned to Xu Tianyang and Xu Nianshuang. "I heard there's a human forbidden zone in the northern part of the Douluo Continent called the Far North. It's a paradise for ice-attribute Spirit Beasts. Since Tianyang and Shuang'er's spirit power has reached level thirty, let's try our luck there on the way back."
"The Prince has an order: surround the Myriad Treasures Pavilion!"
