Chapter 429: The Storm Sweeping the Continent

News once again swept across the continent like a storm.

Driven by those with ulterior motives (Xun Yu), this matter became the talk of the town for everyone after their meals.

Many people in the world only now realized that within the Spirit Hall, there was actually an Offering Hall, filled entirely with Title Douluo powerhouses.

And the Gu Lei Kingdom dared to challenge such a force.

What courage this was! After Bibi Dong learned of this, she smiled disdainfully; no one knew better than her how strong the Offering Hall was, and in her eyes, Nan Feihuang's actions were no different from seeking death.

Since he had made this choice, she had no reason to stop him; let Nan Feihuang and the Offering Hall make a scene.

If the Offering Hall won and brought Nan Feihuang to the Spirit Hall, as Pope, could she not find an opportunity to kill a prisoner?

Even if Nan Feihuang relied on trickery to win by luck, and the Spirit Hall promised not to strike at him for five years, so what? According to Bibi Dong's plan, in a few years, the Spirit Hall would establish a nation, and it would then be the Spirit Empire.

What did the promises made by the Spirit Hall have to do with her Spirit Empire? When the time came, she would still be the first to strike at the Gu Lei Kingdom, with no impact whatsoever.

"Sigh, this continent is truly chaotic. In just a few short months, so many major events have occurred; the peaceful life of the past few decades seems like a joke," Great Emperor Xue Ye sighed as he looked at the latest intelligence within the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Brother Feihuang is going to have a great battle with the Offering Hall?" Xue Ke was extremely anxious; she had heard Nan Feihuang say he had a battle starting, but she never imagined it would be a great battle of this magnitude.

After becoming the Crown Princess, she had learned from Great Emperor Xue Ye about many hidden truths of the continent, and the Offering Hall was the most terrifying among them.

It was the true strongest force on the continent, one that no one from ancient times to the present had ever been able to rival.

Even the Clear Sky Douluo of that year, Tang Chen, although slightly better than Qian Daoliu in a sparring match, did not mean the Clear Sky Sect could rival the Offering Hall; the gap between the two sides remained obvious.

Moreover, if it were a fight to the death, Tang Chen might not necessarily be able to defeat Qian Daoliu; after all, as the Great High Priest of the Angel God, if it were a life-and-death battle, Qian Daoliu could borrow the Godly Power of the Angel God.

Facing such a behemoth, even though she trusted her husband, she felt uneasy at this moment.

"Father, we cannot watch Brother Feihuang die at the hands of the Offering Hall; we must go help him." Xue Ke shook Xue Ye's arm, her eyes filled with worry.

Xue Ye comforted her, "Ke'er, don't be anxious. I know Feihuang well; he is not someone who would do something without certainty. Even if he cannot win against the Offering Hall, he must have left a backup plan."

Great Emperor Xue Ye was, after all, a monarch of his generation; perhaps his wisdom was not equal to that of figures like Xun Yu, but when it came to judging people, he was not inferior to anyone.

Feihuang was exactly the type of person who liked to leave room for maneuver and keep a backup plan in everything he did.

Xun Yu had told Feihuang that a successful plan could never just drift with the tide, hoping that the opponent would follow your plan.

Instead, it was only considered successful if your plan could adapt regardless of how the opponent's actions changed.

"Ke'er, since Feihuang left you in the Heaven Dou Empire, it means he does not want you to be dragged into this plan. If you go now, you will only add to his troubles."

Xue Ye's persuasion was still somewhat effective on Xue Ke, and she recalled the instructions Nan Feihuang gave before he left.

To stay in the Heaven Dou Empire and take good care of herself—so that was what it meant.

"I will take good care of myself. Brother Feihuang, you must also be safe!" Xue Ke had already lost her eldest brother, Xue Qinghe; now, the most important person in the world to her was Nan Feihuang, perhaps even more so than her own father, Xue Ye. Also in Tiandou City, Ning Rongrong listened to the latest intelligence, "Guteleisi Mountain, is it? Nan Feihuang, you are finally going to compete with the Spirit Hall. Very well, I am going there to see it too."

"What, Rongrong, don't joke. In a few days, that place will likely become the number one forbidden zone in the world; it is too dangerous for us to go there with our strength." Oscar hurriedly grabbed Ning Rongrong's arm.

Had she disregarded her own life for the sake of revenge? "Oscar, let go of me. If you are afraid, stay in Tiandou City. Even if I am alone, I will go. Although both sides are my enemies, as long as the greatest enemy, the Spirit Hall, can be destroyed, I can put aside Nan Feihuang's grudge. As long as he can help me get revenge, I am willing to pay any price." Ning Rongrong shook off Oscar's hand and walked forward.

Ning Chen naturally followed obediently; as the last retainer of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he had to protect Ning Rongrong.

Oscar gritted his teeth and ultimately chose to follow. When it came to infatuation, he could be considered a character on the Douluo Continent; apart from those top-tier "love-brained" people like Bibi Dong, it was feared that no one could compare to him.

That Feng Xiaotian, known as the "Gale Simp," was at most on par with him.

The entire continent was suddenly in an uproar; Spirit Saints, Spirit Douluo, and even Title Douluo who had some confidence in their own strength all gradually converged toward Guteleisi Mountain.

Just like when Dugu Bo challenged the Chrysanthemum Douluo, that battle had attracted many people to watch.

Moreover, the battle in the near future would likely be unprecedentedly intense; everyone wanted to see it for themselves, especially those trapped in bottlenecks—watching experts exchange moves might lead to some enlightenment.

As for Nan Feihuang's sisters, Nan Feilian far away in the Tianshuang Principality and Nan Feiyan in the Hagen Dazs Kingdom, they were so anxious they couldn't sleep, but they were unable to come; the matter had caused such a stir that their husbands' families would not allow them to get involved.

But there were those who had no such scruples.

A beautiful woman with long blue hair, accompanied by two girls who looked very similar to her, rushed to the Gu Lei Kingdom in a hurry.

"Xue'er, what is your Gu Lei Kingdom doing? Daring to challenge the Offering Hall? Your son is ignorant, are you ignorant too? Don't you know how strong the Offering Hall is?" The beautiful woman had just entered the door when she began nagging Lan Xue.

Since Lan Xue advanced to Title Douluo, it had been a long time since anyone dared to speak to her like that.

But this person was an exception, and she could let Lan Xue be scolded without daring to talk back, because she was Lan Xue's best friend and senior sister, the Dean of Tianshui Academy, and Shui Bing'er's mother, Shui Youlan.

And those two girls were her own daughter, Shui Bing'er, and her younger daughter, Shui Yue'er, who was not born to her.

Although this woman was the youngest among the five deans of the Element Academy, her strength was second only to the Heavenly Elephant Huyan Zhen of the Elephant Armor Academy; at sixty, she had already reached the high level of an eighty-sixth-level Spirit Douluo.

According to her cultivation speed, she was also expected to reach Title Douluo before the age of seventy, because she possessed the same top-tier Ice-type Spirit as Shui Bing'er, the Ice Phoenix.

Due to her extremely high cultivation, although Shui Youlan was over sixty, she still looked like a beautiful woman in her thirties; when walking with Shui Bing'er, they looked more like sisters than mother and daughter.

She was also Lan Xue's best friend; upon learning the news, she had rushed over without stopping, hoping to stop the impulsive behavior of Lan Xue's family.

Unfortunately, by the time she arrived, it was already too late; the news had spread across the entire continent, and even if the Gu Lei Kingdom wanted to go back on their word, it was too late.

"Senior Sister, thank you, but please believe in me and believe in my son; we will absolutely not lose!" Lan Xue looked at Shui Youlan gratefully; she knew that her senior sister was so angry entirely because she was worried about her.

But their Gu Lei Kingdom would eventually take this step.

If they wanted to contend for the world, then the Offering Hall was an obstacle that had to be crossed.
