Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong (2)

Feeling Grandmaster's breath, the Supreme Pontiff's face flushed a bit, her breath somewhat urgent saying:

"Yu Xiao Gang, do you still have the time to worry? Back then, do you remember how you left me? For your own little sister, ridiculous, truly too ridiculous. You actually refused me for your own little sister. That I became Supreme Pontiff is admittedly thanks to you, but, I hate you. In all my life, you are the person I hate the most. I want you to suffer, I will not only kill your apprentice, I'll still kill Liu Erlong. No, I won't kill her, I'll torture her to make you suffer."

The Supreme Pontiff had clearly become agitated, her eyes with the ice chill of a viper.

Just at this moment, there was suddenly a light knock from outside.

"Get lost, didn't I say that nobody was to disturb me without my order?"

The Supreme Pontiff snarled.

The person outside apparently hadn't expected the seemingly amiable and approachable Supreme Pontiff to be in such a temper,

"Your Eminence, the two elders have sent back news. They didn't accomplish the mission, and are waiting for your instructions."

"What? Didn't accomplish the mission?"

The Supreme Pontiff's complexion changed, looking fiercely at Grandmaster,

"It seems your apprentice is rather lucky."

Grandmaster stared blankly a moment, the red in his eyes gradually receding. He released his grip on the Supreme Pontiff's shoulders, and as he calmed down, he said:

"That you sent people to kill Tang San is perhaps not only because of his talent. With Spirit Hall's power, how would you fear one Spirit Master? If my guess is correct, you did it because of his father, right?"

The Supreme Pontiff's gaze froze,

"You're still so clever. Leave. I don't want to see you again."

Grandmaster nodded silently, walking towards the big doors. As he gripped the handle on the door, he suddenly halted, faintly saying:

"Twenty years, Bibi Dong. You're still so beautiful, but I'm already old. If the one whose life was threatened today was you, I would still react the same. After all, you are my first love."

"Bullshit."

The Supreme Pontiff suddenly trembled,

"Could you still love? You're not fit to speak the word. Would you still leave me if you loved me? Preferring to be together with your little sister? You bastard, get out."

"As for why I left you back then, you shouldn't ask me, you should go ask the dead Supreme Pontiff. You always described me as fickle and cold. I'll follow your meaning. What I said before, if Tang San dies at the hands of Spirit Hall's people. Then. I will spare no price to retaliate. Bibi Dong, this is that last time I call you like this. You sent people to act against Tang San, our mutual relationship is hereby over."

Fiercely pulling open the door, Grandmaster left in large strides.

Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong swayed, seemingly unable to lean on the scepter, she fell to the floor.

She hated Grandmaster, had hated him for twenty whole years. Being able to maintain such deep hatred for so long, meant that her love for him back then had been so profound. Grandmaster's words before leaving had suddenly made a small crack appear in her hatred.

Recalling all the instruction of the last Supreme Pontiff as well as all kinds of matters in the past, the truth that had been obscured by hatred gradually appeared before her.

Everything before her eyes gradually became hazy, her hands already turning white from the force with which she gripped the scepter,

"Is this fate toying with humans? Xiao Gang, the feelings between us. The feelings between us..."

The Supreme Pontiff suddenly ran over to where Grandmaster was sitting before, clasping that abundantly warm fragrant tea, swallowing big mouthfuls.

...

Heaven Dou Empire's competing Spirit Master teams continued onward, and for the rest of the journey, there were no more mishaps. In order to protect these Spirit Masters, crown prince Xue Qinghe requisition three thousand armored troops to supplement the guard from towns they passed. At the same time he also called for some Spirit Master experts from the capital.

Xue Qinghe didn't interact more with Tang San. He was also very clear on what trouble Tang San was in, and at such a time, he used action to gain Tang San's favorable impression.

On the way, the mood in the Shrek Academy team appeared somewhat oppressive. The only good news was that Xiao Wu had finally broken through to the fortieth rank, five days away from Spirit City. In order to let her possess a fourth spirit ring as soon as possible, Liu Erlong brought her directly to search for a spirit beast that suited her, to meet up with the others in Spirit City.

At last, the whole procession reached Spirit City. Because of the special provisions of Spirit City, Xue Qinghe ordered the armored troops and imperial knights regiment to standby outside the city, and led the fifteen Spirit Master teams into Spirit City.

Compared to enormous cities like Heaven Dou City and Suotuo City, Spirit City was a lot smaller. It didn't even cover a tenth of the area Heaven Dou City did. However, it was still plenty shocking to Spirit Masters.

Despite the small area, Spirit City's walls were still absolutely constructed to the standard of any capital city. The more than eighty meter high city walls appeared extremely majestic from the outside, and they were also more than thirty meters thick, built completely out of granite.

Even the wealthy Ning Fengzhi couldn't help sighing in admiration on seeing the walls.

In fact, Spirit City was built entirely by Spirit Hall. Wouldn't building a city like this be easier said than done?

Most unusual was that Spirit City wasn't as square as other cities, but rather hexagonal. In other words, its city walls had altogether six faces. The ones in charge of patrolling the city walls were all Spirit Masters, all wearing the special clothing of Spirit Hall.

Each of the six walls had an enormous sculpture, identical to Spirit Hall's warrant tiles, symbolizing six formidable spirits.

Entering Spirit City gave people a spacious impression. There weren't a lot of people on the streets, and very few shops. The business of these shops were mainly in the goods needed by Spirit Masters. Even storage type spirit tools were for sale. Of course, the quality was a bit lacking.

They were met in Spirit City by a cardinal, and under his guidance, space was very quickly found for the more than two hundred people, staying in a hotel on the west side of Spirit City. Shocking Tang San was that even the hotel staff were Spirit Grandmasters with more than twentieth ranked spirit power.

After settling in, Tang San specially moved away from the hotel, carefully observing the other areas of Spirit City outside.

He discovered that the hexagonal Spirit City was actually built around a hill. On this hill were two extraordinarily striking buildings. The building halfway up the hill was the most magnificent, clearly visible even from a long distance away.

It was a building of pillars with a domed roof; the outside of the building made of golden material, glittering in the sunlight. By simply asking, Tang San found out that it was the newly constructed Supreme Pontiff Palace. The residence of the most senior ruler of Spirit Hall.

From Ning Fengzhi he had also learned that even deeper inside, Spirit Hall's Elder Palace was also located in Supreme Pontiff Palace. Of course, it was impossible for ordinary people to see those elders.

The other building at the peak of the hill was a lot smaller than Supreme Pontiff Hall, approximately only a third of the size. It's architecture was somewhat similar, only its walls were white like jade, far from as eye catching as Supreme Pontiff Palace.

For some reason, as Tang San looked at that palatial building, inwardly he sensed even greater depths.

Ever since entering Spirit City, every Spirit Master had a kind of special feeling, apparently a somewhat pious mood in their hearts. Ning Fengzhi told Tang San that the seemingly much smaller building was the highest existence in Spirit Hall, Douluo Palace.

Only dead Title Douluo could stay in that place. It could also be called the tomb of Title Douluo. The reason this place had such a devout atmosphere wasn't because of Supreme Pontiff Palace, but rather because of Douluo Palace.

No matter where Supreme Pontiff Palace was established, Douluo Palace would follow, and moreover the position of Douluo Palace would always be even higher than Supreme Pontiff Palace. At times of great rites, the Supreme Pontiff would personally go to offer sacrifice before the doors of Douluo Palace, but even he didn't have the right to enter before death. These were the rules, and nobody could break them. Otherwise he would suffer the anger of all Spirit Masters.

It was precisely because of the existence of Supreme Pontiff Palace and Douluo Palace that Spirit City came to be known as the holy land of Spirit Masters after its founding. Of course, this was also publicly accepted by the majority of Spirit Masters.

Because of the attack halfway and Tang San's persistence in staying in the competition, Flender and Liu Erlong both stayed in places closest to him, even Ning Fengzhi specially chose a place to stay not far away. Even though it was least probable that anything would happen in Spirit City, they still had no choice but to guard against it.

According to the information from Spirit Hall, the competition would officially begin in three days. The journey was wearying, but these three days of rest were sufficient for the academies to adjust.

Star Luo Empire's participating academies were arranged to rest on the other side of Spirit City. Imperceptibly, Spirit Hall had already split the participating teams of the two great empires into two camps.

Regarding this, Xue Qinghe only smiled coldly in reply, but didn't raise any objections.

The Shrek Academy group all kept resting for three days, spending all their time in meditation to cultivate spirit power, to maintain their peak condition as much as possible.

Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu, finally returned the day before the start of the finals.
