Chapter 541 Why is the Crown Prince of Tiandou getting involved?
The distance between Wuhun City and Tiandou City is about two thousand kilometers.
Ye Qifeng led seven beautiful girls from the second team in a carriage driven by Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan, followed by two hundred silent yet imposing Holy Emperor Warriors.
The group traveled at a leisurely pace, stopping frequently along the way, and it took them a full twenty days before they finally entered the Heavenly Dou Imperial City, the most tightly controlled area by the Heavenly Dou Empire's royal family.
When they were still ten kilometers away from Tiandou City, the imperial capital of the Tiandou Empire, Ye Qifeng, who was watching several girls laughing and playing in the carriage, seemed to sense something and immediately waved to them:
"Everyone, come to me immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage fell silent. All the beautiful eyes turned to Ye Qifeng, but no one questioned it.
Without hesitation, everyone sprang into action, quickly forming a circle around Ye Qifeng.
Ye Qifeng didn't explain anything. He raised his hand and waved it, and a dark shadow appeared out of thin air, instantly enveloping himself and the seven girls.
Immediately afterwards, the void twisted, and the figures of the eight people disappeared into the carriage.
However, the girls in the carriage didn't seem to react much to this, as if they were already used to it.
They all knew that this was just the effect of Ye Qifeng's soul skill called "Dark Shadow World." They hadn't actually disappeared; they had just entered a shadow world and were temporarily hiding.
Just as Ye Qifeng and the girls were enveloped in the shadow world, and everyone's aura was instantly wiped out, a powerful mental force suddenly swept through the carriage.
"How dare you spy on my Spirit Hall convoy? You're courting death!"
Such blatant spiritual probing was naturally sensed by Ju Douluo Yue Guan, who was sitting in the driver's seat at the front of the carriage.
However, when he brought the carriage to a smooth stop, ordered the Holy Emperor warriors following behind to surround and protect it, and then charged towards the source of the spiritual energy he sensed.
The enemy, however, had already fled far away and disappeared without a trace.
Yue Guan flew in mid-air, his powerful spiritual energy emanating from his body as he carefully examined the surrounding area for miles, trying to find the audacious rat from before.
Unfortunately, nothing was gained in the end.
"Tch—, they actually ran away?"
Yue Guan frowned, spat coldly, seemingly somewhat surprised. After investigating for a while and confirming that the rat had escaped, she frowned and flew back to the carriage.
Unbeknownst to them, two figures were hiding in a mountain hollow several kilometers away from the convoy, beyond the range of Yue Guan's mental power.
One of them was tall and burly, his entire body shrouded in a tattered black hoodie, obscuring his face.
The other person was a little over 1.7 meters tall, with an extremely ordinary face, the kind that wouldn't attract attention in a crowd, and appeared to be a boy who was only a little over fourteen years old.
These two were none other than Tang Hao and his son Tang San, the culprits who had just used their spiritual power to probe the Spirit Hall's convoy with malicious intent.
At this point, Tang San had successfully hunted and absorbed his fourth spirit ring, gaining a group restriction skill—Blue Silver Cage. This skill could create multiple cages to trap enemies or defend himself!
Moreover, this spirit ring is just as it was destined to be, originating from a ten-thousand-year-old cave spider, a black ten-thousand-year spirit ring that surpasses the theoretical limits of a spirit master's absorption.
Even though he had never consumed the two immortal herbs, the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, nor had he experienced the Ice and Fire Refining Body at the Yin-Yang Well, he was able to practice the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique ahead of time due to Tang Hao's arrangement.
Tang San's body also underwent ample tempering, and his physique was greatly improved.
Therefore, he was able to safely absorb the soul ring of the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Cave Demon Spider.
These are all things that happened in the past. As for why Tang Hao and Tang San suddenly came to provoke Ye Qifeng's team, that remains to be seen.
That was because after they had finished hunting for spirit rings, they happened to run into Ye Qifeng and his group on their way back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy from the Star Dou Great Forest.
Suddenly encountering a team from the Spirit Hall in the wild, Tang Hao and his son Tang San, who harbored extreme hatred for the Spirit Hall, could not possibly remain indifferent.
So he decided to collect some interest first and then ambush and kill the entire team here.
After discussing it, the father and son immediately began to take action.
However, when Tang Hao's spiritual power swept through the Spirit Hall's team, he was surprised to find that there was a Title Douluo whose realm was no less than his own.
Moreover, all the escorting knights were Soul Masters with a strength of level 60 or above.
Terrified, Tang Hao saw the situation was dire and quickly pulled Tang San away to hide.
That's why what just happened occurred.
Damn it, it was that slutty vixen from Chrysanthemum Pass! He almost found out. Watching Yue Guan's figure gradually fly away, Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows of the mountain valley, couldn't help but become somewhat solemn.
"Father, who can fly? That woman is a Title Douluo?"
At this moment, Tang San, who was also still shaken, suddenly asked a question.
"Hmm." Tang Hao nodded sullenly, let out a long breath, and then introduced Tang San:
"That guy's name is Yue Guan, his title is 'Chrysanthemum,' and he's a henchman of the Spirit Hall."
"However, you're wrong about one thing."
"Don't let his slutty face fool you, he's actually a man."
"What?" Tang San was immediately taken aback. "A man?"
She's so beautiful, but she's actually a man? Tang San couldn't accept it.
Tang Hao glanced indifferently at Tang San, whose face was full of disbelief, and said nothing more.
Almost everyone who sees Chrysanthemum Pass for the first time is attracted by his alluring appearance, but after learning the truth, they are greatly disappointed and then have a feeling of doubting life.
Just like Tang San's expression now.
Back then, he was the same way; before he knew the truth, he even felt a flutter in his heart.
Shaking his head to banish the disgusting thought from his mind, Tang Hao said calmly:
"None of that matters. What matters is his strength."
"That bitch from Chrysanthemum Pass was already a level 92 Title Douluo more than ten years ago. If I sensed correctly just now, her current level should be about the same as mine."
Tang San was even more surprised:
"His cultivation level is the same as yours, Father? Does that mean he's also a Super Douluo?"
He thought his father was powerful enough, but he never expected that any titled Douluo that came out of the Spirit Hall would be a powerhouse on the same level as his father.
Add to that the Title Douluo from Sunset Forest who seriously injured my father, and the Spirit Hall's strength is just too great.
Looking at Tang San, who seemed stunned, Tang Hao said in a hoarse voice:
"Now you understand why I can't easily show myself, right?"
Tang San nodded blankly:
"Understood."
Seeing this, Tang Hao continued:
"With my current strength, it's impossible for me to contend with the Spirit Hall."
"And the team you just saw is just the tip of the iceberg of the Spirit Hall's full strength."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted Tang San's shoulder heavily:
"Mistress, remember this: strength determines everything. Becoming strong is the key. Keep working hard to improve yourself."
Tang San's expression turned solemn:
"Yes, Father."
Tang Hao didn't say anything more. He looked up and gazed in the direction of the Spirit Hall's team, but dared not release his spiritual power to investigate further.
Judging from the direction they are heading, their destination should be the imperial city of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Heavenly Dou City. Speaking of which, what is that bastard from Chrysanthemum Pass doing driving an empty carriage?
There are also Holy Emperor Warriors, the exclusive guard of the Pope of the Spirit Hall, escorting it. Is there anything important inside?
But after searching just now, I didn't sense anything.
Tang Hao thought to himself, somewhat puzzled.
Forget it, I can't afford to mess with him for now.
However, that rotten chrysanthemum from Chrysanthemum Pass will one day be smashed into a pulp.
Tang Hao gritted his teeth, then grabbed Tang San's shoulder and flew with him towards the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
"Let's go, I'll take you back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
…………
When Yue Guan returned to the carriage, Ye Qifeng had already dispelled the concealment effect of the Shadow Vision and stepped out of the carriage.
He was standing by the carriage shaft at that moment.
"Your Highness, what brings you out?"
Yue Guan flew down from the sky, landed in front of Ye Qifeng, patted his chest in respect, and admonished him:
"It's not safe outside, Your Highness. You should go back into the carriage."
"That thug who used his mental power to probe the convoy just now was quite powerful. I couldn't catch him, and he might still be hiding somewhere, lurking around."
However, Ye Qifeng waved his hand dismissively:
"It's alright, he's already gone."
Yue Guan was stunned for a moment:
"They've already left?"
Ye Qifeng nodded affirmatively, a rich black and white light surging deep within his eyes, and a powerful spiritual force suddenly erupted from his body, surging in a certain direction.
His deep gaze seemed to pierce through mountains and clouds, seeing through everything as it landed on the two figures flying away at high speed.
As Tang Hao was flying towards the Heaven Dou Royal Academy with Tang San, he suddenly felt a chill. He felt as if he were being stared at by a ferocious beast, and a coldness shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
"What is this?"
The danger perception of a Super Douluo was frantically warning him, and Tang Hao's hair stood on end. He dared not linger any longer and quickly pushed his soul power to the limit to accelerate his flight and escape from this area.
He was clearly frightened.
Seeing this, Ye Qifeng smiled slightly, slowly withdrew his gaze, and at the same time withdrew his spiritual power.
At this moment, Yue Guan was completely stunned.
Sensing the powerful spiritual energy that suddenly erupted from Ye Qifeng, he finally remembered something his old partner, Gui Mei, had once told him.
—His Highness the Holy Son possesses extraordinary spiritual power, far exceeding the comprehension of ordinary people. His perception is even stronger than that of ghosts skilled in the art of exploration.
It turns out it wasn't just talk; it's true.
Indeed, only those who have experienced it firsthand can truly understand the power of His Highness the Holy Son. Yue Guan subconsciously swallowed.
"Your Highness, what just happened...?"
The black and white light that had welled up deep in his eyes gradually faded, and Ye Qifeng said calmly:
"Oh, it's nothing, just trying to scare that bastard Tang Hao for fun."
"What? Tang Hao?" Yue Guan's expression changed instantly upon hearing this. "Your Highness, you're saying that the person who was secretly investigating the caravan with ill intentions was Tang Hao?"
Ye Qifeng hummed in agreement.
Yue Guan immediately said anxiously:
"If it is him, Your Highness, then we must be even more careful."
Ye Qifeng gently patted his shoulder and comforted him:
"Elder Ju, there is no need to panic."
"Tang Hao is just a level 95 peak Super Douluo. Your current strength is no weaker than his. Without external help, he might not even be your match."
"See, didn't you just scare him away?"
"Uh," Yue Guan paused slightly, "While that's true, I don't have absolute confidence in defeating Tang Hao. After all, even a strong person like the Second Elder suffered a loss at his hands."
"For Your Highness's safety, let's hurry on our way. It will be much safer once we reach Tiandou City, and Tang Hao will not dare to cause trouble there."
"If all else fails, we can use the young master's power to destroy him directly."
As she spoke, Yue Guan's tone became somewhat fierce.
Ye Qifeng slowly shook his head, said nothing more, turned and walked into the carriage. It seemed that he needed a special opportunity to help Yue Guan repair his damaged Dao Heart, and it couldn't be rushed for the time being.
The group quickly regrouped and continued their journey to Tiandou City.
…………
Tian Dou City, South Gate.
The grand main gate, which is usually closed, is now open, while the secondary gate, which is usually used by the public, has been sealed off and is temporarily closed to entry and exit.
Extending from the main gate, the avenue stretches for hundreds of meters along both sides, lined with Royal Knights soldiers clad in iron armor and wielding halberds, their imposing presence and overwhelming momentum making them a true elite force.
Below the south gate, in front of the main gate, many people had been waiting for a long time.
The vast majority of them were personnel stationed at the Heavenly Fighting Spirit Temple.
At the very front was a gaunt old man wearing a magnificent white robe embroidered with silver, his white hair neatly combed, and a goatee on his chin.
Behind him followed a group of male and female soul masters dressed in red.
It was Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Heavenly Fighting Spirit Temple, who had received advance notice and had been waiting there for a long time, along with a group of cardinals stationed at the temple.
Standing ramrod straight at the front of the line, Salas, who had been keeping his eyes slightly closed, suddenly opened them. His eyes looked cloudy and lacked any luster, but his brows and eyes clearly revealed a hint of shrewdness and cunning.
Salas is no ordinary person, as he is able to serve as the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall in a place like the Heaven Dou Imperial City.
Deceit and cunning are essential qualities.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to hold onto his position as the Platinum Bishop of the Heavenly Fighting Martial Soul Temple.
However, he, who was usually quick-witted and intelligent, was now filled with confusion and couldn't figure out what the person next to him was up to.
He was supposed to be receiving the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, not a prince of the Heaven Dou royal family. What are you doing here, Crown Prince of Heaven Dou?
