When Qian Daoliu said this, the atmosphere at the scene instantly froze. All the Title Douluo focused their attention on him, and an invisible pressure filled the hall.
The three Qingluan Douluo were the only leverage they had that could threaten the Wuhun Empire. As long as the Wuhun Empire didn't want these three Super Douluo to fall, they wouldn't dare to break the agreement, let alone act recklessly.
Qian Daoliu seemed completely unaffected by the pressure in the hall, and his eyes were fixed on Xu Mingxi.
He now understood that the person in charge of the Star Crown Sect wasn't the well-known Star Crown Douluo Xu Chunxing, but the masked Golden Star Douluo standing before him.
That was right. Star Crown Douluo had been famous for decades, and his potential had long been exhausted. It was likely the young man in front of him—who could rival or even suppress Golden Crocodile Douluo—would become the next leader of the Star Crown Sect.
Various pieces of information about the current situation on the Douluo Continent kept emerging in Xu Mingxi's mind, and from the chaos in his thoughts, he grasped his main objective.
"Angel Douluo, we can release Lion Douluo, but you must agree to one condition."
"Speak."
"We want Pope Bibi Dong to join the attack."
Lion Douluo possessed a strong suppressive power over spirit beasts, especially those whose bloodlines were inferior to his Fire Lion.
However, in terms of direct combat, his strength was not as great as that of Qingluan Douluo. Xu Mingxi wanted him back to leverage his control over spirit beasts, which might prove effective when facing Sea God Island.
The hall suddenly fell silent. Qian Daoliu sat in his seat and pondered. He certainly knew it was impossible to get all three Qingluan Douluo back. At this point, he was lucky to retrieve even one.
However, he truly couldn't promise Bibi Dong's participation. Her current strength was no longer something he could control.
Xu Mingxi saw Qian Daoliu's hesitation, but it wasn't something he needed to worry about. He believed Bibi Dong wouldn't pass up the chance to kill a powerhouse and destroy the Sea God's followers.
To attain the status of a Rakshasa God, Bibi Dong had to kill like a madwoman. What better way than slaying a peerless Douluo to draw herself closer to godhood?
After a moment of contemplation, Qian Daoliu finally agreed. He would return and try to persuade Bibi Dong to take part in the operation.
"Alright then, I'll trouble Angel Douluo with that. But we still need to discuss the specific details.
For example, how to lure Bo Saixi off Sea God Island."
Qian Daoliu ultimately agreed to cooperate with the Star Crown Sect, and both sides temporarily shifted their focus to Tang San and the others on Sea God Island.
The Star Crown Sect would have Xu Mingguang and the Sect Master bring Huo Quan to drive the Swordfish away and monitor Sea God Island. As soon as Tang San or any Title Douluo left the island, they would know immediately.
If it was one of the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo or Tang Xiao, they would take them down on the spot. If it was anyone else, they would notify the Star Crown Sect and Wuhun Empire immediately and prepare to spring the trap.
Since Tang San needed to acquire spirit rings, they were sure someone would eventually have to leave the island. If not, he would be forced to absorb rings from weak sea soul beasts in the inner lake.
If that truly happened, it would waste Tang San's talent, and he himself would never agree to it.
"Angel Douluo, please don't forget your promise. We will take good care of Qingluan Douluo and Guangling Douluo."
"Hmph, I will remember this."
Qian Daoliu immediately left with Lion Douluo, who had been revived by Dugu Bo and was still weak—half asleep, half conscious.
Upon returning to the Wuhun Empire, after handing over Lion Douluo to the doctors for examination, the results showed that aside from his weakened body, the Star Crown Sect had not left behind any tricks. Qian Daoliu felt reassured.
After all, it was a blessing to be able to bring back even one of the four worshippers. Even Qian Renxue and Qianjun Jiangmo Dou beside him found it hard to believe.
"Grandfather, how did you do it? The Star Crown Sect gave in so quickly? I thought they were very powerful."
"No, Xiaoxue, they are indeed extremely powerful. If not for the lack of an unmatched combat powerhouse, they might be stronger than our Wuhun Empire."
"What? How is that possible?"
Ignoring their shock, Qian Daoliu sat in his chair and recounted what he had seen and heard at the Star Crown Sect, including the deal he struck with them.
When he saw the ten previous Title Douluo, he was astonished. A hidden sect that was once obscure had now become so powerful without making a sound.
The appearance of a single Star Dou could be called a once-in-a-century genius. The emergence of so many Title Douluo must mean they had acquired some natural treasures that enhanced their talent.
"Qianjun, Jiangmo, go prepare yourselves. Tang San should reach level 70 within a few years. That will be our moment to act."
"Yes."
Qian Daoliu had no intention of breaking the contract. Sea God Island remained his greatest concern. Once it was dealt with, the Star Crown Sect, lacking an unmatched Douluo, would not be much trouble.
After Qianjun and Jiangmo left, Qian Daoliu looked at his beloved granddaughter—the one he would protect even at the cost of the Wuhun Empire's foundation.
"Xiaoxue, your soul power should be approaching the Title Douluo level."
"I can complete the breakthrough within half a year."
"Alright, then Grandpa will personally take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a spirit ring. The ninth angelic trial may depend on you to complete it."
The grandfather and granddaughter shared a moment of warmth before Qian Daoliu went to Bibi Dong's palace and informed her of the agreement with the Star Crown Sect.
No one knew what the two of them talked about. The only thing the soul masters standing guard outside could hear was a brief argument, followed by Qian Daoliu flying away expressionlessly.
The palace doors closed once more, and darkness returned to shroud the hall. Bibi Dong sat on her throne. In the weaving of light and shadow, her eyes were filled with demonic intent.
Her fingers tapped rhythmically on the armrest, and the sharp knocking echoed through the palace.
"Hahahaha, hahaha… Qian Daoliu, Qian Daoliu… who is the mantis, and who is the oriole… it's still unknown."
After surviving the beast tide in the Star Dou Great Forest and witnessing the fall of the Heaven Dou Empire, Bibi Dong's divine trials were nearly complete.
Just two days ago, the Rakshasa God had given her the final trial—to kill the unmatched level 99 Douluo, Qian Daoliu.
Angels and Rakshasas were natural enemies. Killing Qian Daoliu—whose soul power surpassed her own—wouldn't be easy. Moreover, no Title Douluo in the Wuhun Empire would stand on her side.
While she was fretting, the Star Crown Sect and Qian Daoliu themselves came knocking at her door to hunt Bo Saixi. This was her best opportunity.
