Chapter 97: Yo yo yo, Hu Liena, you wouldn't have fallen for Tang San after his appearance changed, would you?
Bibi Dong went easy?
Letting the enemy's son and a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast go? What for?
[I Really Dont Have A Preference For Men: Went easy? Why would she let Tang Hao go? He's an enemy of Spirit Hall!]
Lin Yuan gave the answer in the diary:
[Tang Hao's hammer strike back then wasn't actually attacking Bibi Dong and the others.]
[Instead, it was aimed at the Angel God statue in front of the Supreme Pontiff Palace, which symbolizes the highest faith of Spirit Hall!]
[Because Tang Hao knew his body's condition well and estimated he only had the strength for one strike, he could only resort to this tactic.]
[And this was practically an output right in the face, a slap to Qian Daoliu's face!]
[The reason Bibi Dong didn't go all out, and even sat by as the statue was destroyed...]
[On one hand, she wanted to use Tang Hao's hand to spite Qian Daoliu, and even wanted to force that old turtle Qian Daoliu out.]
[On the other hand, she was hiding her strength!]
[She was wary of Qian Daoliu!]
[She feared that if she went all out, she would expose the Rakshasa power she inherited.]
[If Qian Daoliu, the High Priest of the Angel God, knew that she, the Supreme Pontiff, had actually inherited the evil Rakshasa God Position...]
[Then to maintain the purity of the Angel God, Qian Daoliu would likely strike directly to clean out the house!]
[So, she chose endurance; she chose to act.]
[Only then did Tang Hao get to pull off a massive flex and successfully escape.]
Seeing this, the girls suddenly understood.
[Sea Gods Spokesperson: Rakshasa God... No wonder. Angel and Rakshasa, light and dark, are natural enemies.]
[Sea Gods Spokesperson: But Lin Yuan is right, Bibi Dong was completely overthinking it. Qian Daoliu is a Rank 99 super Douluo and has stayed in Spirit Hall his whole life.]
[Sea Gods Spokesperson: Although the Rakshasa aura on Bibi Dong is hidden, how could it possibly escape his perception?]
[Sea Gods Spokesperson: The reason Qian Daoliu didn't expose it and even overrode all objections to let her sit firmly in the Supreme Pontiff's seat is probably...]
Posey didn't continue, but the meaning was already obvious.
Qian Daoliu knew!
But he chose to permit it!
This was also the viewpoint in the next part of Lin Yuan's diary:
[I think Bibi Dong was completely overthinking it.]
[The divine force of the Rakshasa God and the Angel God are diametrically opposed—one supremely evil, one supremely holy.]
[With these two powers coexisting on Spirit Mountain, would Qian Daoliu, as the High Priest, not perceive it?]
[That he didn't discover Bibi Dong inherited the Rakshasa divine force? Who is he trying to fool!]
[You should know, after Qian Xunji died back then, Spirit Hall was in internal turmoil.]
[If Qian Daoliu hadn't overrode all objections and suppressed the opposition of the other Six Great Consecrated Elders, how could Bibi Dong, an outsider with a different surname, have taken the throne of the Supreme Pontiff?]
[The Six Great Consecrated Elders never liked Bibi Dong!]
Inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong looked at the diary, the scepter in her hand creaking as she gripped it.
Her expression shifted between light and dark, her eyes constantly flickering.
"Lin Yuan... You even know about this?"
"Qian Daoliu knows about the Rakshasa God Trial... He's known all along? How is that possible? I should have hidden it very well!"
Bibi Dong felt a wave of lingering fear.
She had always thought her disguise was flawless, but it turns out that old guy might have known long ago?
But what terrified her even more... since Lin Yuan had analyzed up to this point, would he also know the real cause of Qian Xunji's death?
"No..."
"I absolutely cannot let him say it!"
Bibi Dong's heart was pounding wildly.
If the world knew that Qian Xunji was actually devoured to death by her, how would Qian Renxue look at her?
Eh?
Bibi Dong was startled internally; why was her first thought about how Little Xue would see her?
Qian Xunji is dead, and he completely deserved it!
...Meanwhile, in the chat group, the girls' focus had drifted off track.
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: Six Great Consecrated Elders? I heard that besides the Elder Palace, Spirit Hall also has a Hall of Worship.]
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: What kind of existence is this Hall of Worship? It sounds even more powerful than the Supreme Pontiff?]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: I'm curious too. It turns out that inside the Hall of Worship, there isn't just the High Priest Qian Daoliu, but also six other High Priests! Just how strong are they?]
Lin Yuan thought for a moment—should he just come out and say here that Qian Xunji's death was actually Bibi Dong's doing, and Tang Hao was just the scapegoat?
But on second thought, it would be better to save that for the next exposure; the main focus this time was still on Xiao Wu.
[And here, Xiao Wu's identity as a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast will be discovered. Although Ning Fengzhi bears the primary responsibility, Tang San also bears a certain amount.]
[With his cultivation of the Purple Demon Eye having reached the 'Mustard Seed' Realm back then, he should have discovered Xiao Wu's identity as a Spirit Beast long before the Spirit Master Tournament began, or even much earlier!]
[But what did he do?]
[He said nothing!]
[He just feigned ignorance like that, letting a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast like Xiao Wu follow him so brazenly to Spirit City, where Titled Douluos congregate, to participate in the competition!]
[This was practically walking a tightrope!]
[This operation is carved from the same mold as when Tang Hao took the newly transformed Ah Yin to stroll around Spirit City back then, leading to Ah Yin's identity being discovered!]
[Whether it should be said or not, they truly are father and son; the choices they made were identical.]
In the classroom.
Xiao Wu looked at this passage, her entire being freezing up.
"What?!"
"Tang San... he knew all along?"
[After Tang Hao caused an uproar in Spirit Hall and rescued the two, Tang Hao had Xiao Wu return to the Star Dou Great Forest to lay low.]
[While he took Tang San to begin a five-year Hell-style special training.]
[During these five years, Tang San learned the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method and the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes by Tang Hao's side.]
[And with the help of the Blue Silver King, he awakened the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline. His appearance changed drastically, from an ordinary passerby face to a blue-haired handsome man.]
[He even took a trip to the legendary 'Slaughter City' for tempering and obtained the Slaughter God Domain.]
[It was also there that he reacquainted himself with Hu Liena.]
Inside the chat group, Hu Liena looked at the diary with a face full of bewilderment.
[Username: Reacquainted? What does that mean? During the Spirit Master Tournament, Tang San and I should have met, right? We were mortal enemies!]
[Username: Meeting in a place like Slaughter City, shouldn't we have just started fighting immediately?]
[Ah Yin: I think Lin Yuan means that because Tang San awakened the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, his appearance underwent a world-shaking change.]
[Ah Yin: He became much more handsome, and his temperament changed too, so you didn't recognize him as Tang San at first.]
[Ah Yin: Moreover, in a place like Slaughter City, you can only use Spirits and not Spirit Abilities. Tang San was using the Clear Sky Hammer at the time, so you probably thought he was another Disciple of the Clear Sky Sect.]
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: Yo yo yo~]
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: @Username, I seem to smell some gossip.]
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: Hu Liena, in the original work, you wouldn't have fallen for him just because Tang San got handsome and you were in a high-adrenaline environment like Slaughter City, would you?]
