189. Chapter 187: Merchants Value Profit

"Grandfather, are you confident about the battle after the finals?"

Outside Wuhun City, in a dense forest, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were sitting in front of Tang Chen, who was in the image of the Nine-Headed Blood Bat King.

With Nan Feng's medicine, although Tang Hao successfully awakened Tang Chen, he himself was seriously injured. Fortunately, the Nine-Headed Blood Bat King could not exert Tang Chen's true power; otherwise, Tang Hao wouldn't have been able to withstand even a single hammer blow.

"Not sure," Tang Chen shook his head.

"In Wuhun City, Qian Daoliu is the High Priest of the Angel God; he can unleash Angel Divine Power. To contend with him in that state, I must either use Exploding Ring or unleash Xiuluo Divine Power. However, my body has been eroded too deeply by the Nine-Headed Blood Bat. Either method will cause my body to completely collapse."

He originally did not want to participate in this, but Tang Hao had already told him about the situation of the Clear Sky Sect over the years, as well as the incident with the Blue Silver Emperor back then; he really had no way to ignore it.

When he left to seek the place to become a god, although Qian Daoliu promised him that he would not take advantage of his absence to raid the Clear Sky Sect, the things Qian Xunji did were also tacitly approved by Qian Daoliu, likely testing to see if he was still around.

His time was running out; he originally just wanted to find someone who could bear this Xiuluo God Trial to entrust it to.

But Tang Xiao's talent was insufficient, and Tang Hao pursued power too excessively; neither could control the Xiuluo Divine Power.

He understood Qian Daoliu; if he had no successor, the Clear Sky Sect would surely be destroyed by the Spirit Hall after his death.

Therefore, after this Spirit Master Tournament, he had no choice but to fight.

"Grandfather, what do you think of Tang San?" Tang Xiao asked.

Tang Chen paused. "He's okay, but not enough."

"Not enough talent?" Tang Xiao asked.

"Neither is enough," Tang Chen said.

"Twin martial souls, innate full spirit power—although good, compared to that female Pope of the Spirit Hall, it's still far behind."

When his body was occupied by the Nine-Headed Blood Bat, although he could not control his body, he knew everything his body saw and heard.

This naturally included the fact that Bibi Dong was chosen by the Rakshasa divine thought.

"And his temperament is too fragile," Tang Chen said.

"I can tell he has a sweetheart, and that matter is very sensitive to him; he collapses at the slightest touch."

"As he is now, he is not qualified to touch the Xiuluo God Trial."

"But Tang San's aptitude is already considered top-tier among the younger generation of the current Clear Sky Sect," Tang Xiao said.

Tang Chen fell silent, lost in thought.

Is this an attempt to strike after the Spirit Master Tournament and wipe out the younger generation of the Spirit Hall? "Consider it yourselves. After the finals, I will deal with Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong; I cannot look after the others," Tang Chen said.

Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong must die, otherwise, after he dies, the Clear Sky Sect will surely perish! But these two—one is the High Priest of the Angel God, the other is the successor of the Rakshasa God. If his body were in its original state, he would be confident in killing them both.

Unfortunately, there are no "ifs." His body is nearing collapse. Once the battle begins, he cannot be distracted, let alone look after others.

"Grandfather, besides these two, you must also deal with one more person," Tang Hao said.

"Nan Feng."

"Nan Feng?" Tang Chen was stunned.

"Who is that?"

"He is the true controller of the current Spirit Hall," Tang Hao said.

"If he doesn't die, even if Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong are both dead, he can still control the Spirit Hall."

"Back then, the Clear Sky Sect suffered heavy losses, and this person contributed the most. The current turmoil on the continent is also his doing."

"Can't you deal with him?" Tang Chen asked, puzzled.

Tang Xiao is a level 96, Tang Hao is a level 95. With the two of them joining forces, besides Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile, who else in the Spirit Hall is unkillable? "Grandfather, you don't know, that Nan Feng... might be even stronger than Qian Daoliu!" Tang Xiao said in a deep voice.

When the major sects gathered before, his grandfather did not participate, and he had been in seclusion recuperating during this time; only now did he have the chance to say this.

Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect emphasized the danger of Nan Feng, saying that even Gu Rong and Chen Xin combined could not last a single move in front of him. If Nan Feng cannot be killed, then this operation is meaningless and is just courting death.

Furthermore, Nan Feng and Qian Daoliu are at odds. If Qian Daoliu is killed first, Nan Feng will truly have absolute control over the Spirit Hall.

"Stronger than Qian Daoliu?" Tang Chen was stunned.

"Where did he pop out from?"

He has only been gone for these few years. To be stronger than Qian Daoliu, even with the highest talent, would take at least several decades. Before he went to the City of Slaughter, it was impossible not to have heard of such a character.

"I don't know, but according to intelligence from Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, that Nan Feng was brought out of the City of Slaughter by Bibi Dong," Tang Xiao said.

"Grandfather, do you... have no impression?"

"City of Slaughter?" Tang Chen couldn't quite react.

Ever since the Nine-Headed Blood Bat took over his body, only Tang Hao and Bibi Dong have ever walked out of the City of Slaughter. Where did a third person come from?

"Grandfather, the person who gave me the medicine is very likely Nan Feng," Tang Hao suddenly said.

"What?" Tang Chen was completely bewildered.

"Grandfather, that Nan Feng loves to engage in these conspiracies and tricks," Tang Xiao said.

"Back then, when the Spirit Hall attacked the Clear Sky Sect, the Great Elder and the Sixth Elder died due to Nan Feng's sowing of discord. Now, he first let Younger Brother go to the City of Slaughter to wake you up, and then staged such a big scene. I'm afraid..."

"He wants me and Qian Daoliu to perish together so he can reap the benefits?" Tang Chen said.

"Highly likely!" Tang Xiao said.

"Although Nan Feng has never shown his strength, being able to stand at that height, he absolutely cannot be someone who only knows how to talk, and even less likely to command so many Titled Douluo."

"Perhaps he is hiding it, just for this opportunity."

"So insidious..." Tang Chen frowned deeply.

Not confident in dealing with Qian Daoliu, so he wants to borrow his hand to eliminate Qian Daoliu? "But I don't know him. When the time comes to fight, if he uses a fake body, I won't have the strength to go looking for him," Tang Chen said.

Once he starts, he must finish the battle quickly; he cannot afford to be slow for even a second!

"Grandfather, rest assured, Sect Master Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will point out the location of Nan Feng's true body for us," Tang Xiao said.

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect..." Tang Chen paused.

"Don't you suspect that they are secretly allied with the Spirit Hall? Or perhaps, allied with Nan Feng?"

"Grandfather, if you knew what Nan Feng has done over the years, you wouldn't doubt the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's stance," Tang Xiao said.

"Nan Feng being alive is of no benefit to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect at all!"

"Merchants value profit; Ning Fengzhi will not choose wrong."

"Alright then," Tang Chen didn't ask further.

"I will do my best when the time comes. As for what happens after, I have no way to help; you must look after yourselves."

"If I can't hold on after the battle starts..."

Tang Chen took a letter from his bosom.

"Prepare yourselves to flee to Sea God Island. The Spirit Hall and Sea God Island are enemies; if you escape there, you can at least hide for a while. Also, help me deliver this to Poseixi."

"In the end, I still broke my promise..." (End of chapter)
