Chapter 2986 Speculation_1

```

In the Worship Hall!

The Gold Crocodile Douluo approached the Grand Elder with a grave expression and whispered a few words...

Suddenly, the latter ceased his movements, and his eyes took on a peculiar look...

He then inquired aloud, "Gold Crocodile, are you sure about what you just said??"

The Gold Crocodile Douluo nodded affirmatively, "Grand Elder, this information is absolutely true; it comes from the Spirit Hall Sub-Hall near the Tiandou Empire Palace!"

Qian Dao Liu took a deep breath and said calmly, "Then this is interesting. In such a remote place, someone with a Pope's Order has appeared!!"

Pope's Orders were extremely precious, and not many of the Elders in the Martial Soul Hall possessed one!

Those who did were generally individuals whom the current Pope trusted immensely!

Upon hearing this, the Gold Crocodile Douluo suggested, "Grand Elder, do you think... could the Pope's Order that person holds have been given by Bi Bidong??"

Qian Dao Liu immediately denied it, "It shouldn't be; I remember that during her tenure as Pope, she only granted a Pope's Order to one person, and that person seems to be a man named Yu Xiaogang!"

The Gold Crocodile Douluo's pupils shrank, exclaiming, "Are you suggesting that the person who went to the Sub-hall is this Yu Xiaogang??"

"But I distinctly remember that this Yu Xiaogang is only a second-ring Grand Soul Master, and he will never be able to break through to three rings in his lifetime. Calling him a waste wouldn't be an overstatement!"

"He has no reason to go to the Sub-hall!!"

Qian Dao Liu glanced at him and said expressionlessly, "Did I say it was this Yu Xiaogang?"

He had sent people to investigate Yu Xiaogang before and found nothing noteworthy!

After all, the latter had been teaching at the Notting City Primary College for over a decade and had no connection with Tang San!

The Gold Crocodile Douluo looked embarrassed, "This... I see, I was too hasty. Please enlighten me, Grand Elder!"

He couldn't fathom the former's thoughts...

Qian Dao Liu pursed his lips, "Truth is, I also cannot guess the identity of that person."

The face of the Gold Crocodile Douluo grew stiff, "Huh??"

Qian Dao Liu's gaze grew colder, "What, you think there's a problem??"

The Gold Crocodile Douluo quickly waved his hand, explaining, "No, no, not at all. It's just that if even you, Grand Elder, can't figure out the person's identity, then Bi Bidong surely wouldn't know either!"

"But one thing is for certain, it won't be the Pope's Order you gave to Tang Chen."

This statement abruptly changed Qian Dao Liu's expression...

In a chilling tone, he demanded, "Gold Crocodile, repeat what you just said..."

The Gold Crocodile Douluo swallowed hard and stuttered, "It... it won't be the Pope's Order that the Grand Elder gave to that Tang Chen..."

After listening, it seemed that Qian Dao Liu had understood...

He chuckled coldly, "Heh, I see. No wonder that person possessed a Pope's Order. Well, that explains it!"

Gold Crocodile Douluo grew even more confused, "Grand... Grand Elder, what you just said means..."

Without beating around the bush, Qian Dao Liu uttered slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, this Pope's Order must be the one once given to Tang Chen."

The Gold Crocodile Douluo struggled to contain his surprise, then suddenly reminded, "But that Tang Chen has vanished, most likely dead!"

Qian Dao Liu replied noncommittally, "Yes, if we assume he's dead, but his son, Tang Hao, is still alive!"

Upon hearing this, the Gold Crocodile Douluo pieced the information together...

He couldn't help but inhale sharply...

``

"Hiss, if it really is Tang Hao, then he's probably already aware that we've captured Tang San!"

"Perhaps, he's already on his way to the Worship Hall by now, Grand Elder, should we make some preparations in advance??"

Qian Xun Ji was careless back then, and that's why he was severely injured by Tang Hao!

It gave Bi Bidong the opportunity to kill him!

Disdain filled Qian Dao Liu's eyes, "Hmph, even so, Tang Hao needs to have that level of strength!!"

It's conservatively estimated that Tang Hao's current strength should be between level 95 and level 97!!

In any other place, he might be unmatched!

But this is the Worship Hall, where any guest elder's strength is comparable to his!!

If he really comes, not only will he not be able to rescue Tang San, he could also meet his end here!

So, why bother making any preparations!!

Gold Crocodile Douluo did not disagree, echoing, "What the Grand Elder said is very true, in your hands, that Tang Hao is nothing but an ant!!"

Just as they were conversing, Qianjun Douluo stepped in...

He said respectfully, "Grand Elder, second brother!"

Gold Crocodile Douluo frowned slightly, reminding, "Qian Jun, didn't you see that I was discussing with the Grand Elder?"

Qian Dao Liu stopped him, asking with an unchanged expression, "Qian Jun is not someone who doesn't understand the rules, he must have something to say!"

Qianjun Douluo did not deny it, affirming seriously, "Yes, Grand Elder!"

"Just now, Xue'er sent someone with a message; Prince Xue Xing of the Tian Dou Imperial Family seems to have sensed her identity and has taken some action..."

Qian Dao Liu's face turned serious, "Go into detail about this matter!"

It concerned Xiao Xue's safety, so he naturally didn't dare to be negligent!

Without beating around the bush, Qianjun Douluo immediately recounted the specific details...

After listening, Gold Crocodile Douluo snorted coldly, "Hmph, that Xue Xing really is courting death, to dare to join with Xue Ye in setting up this trap. If it weren't for Xiao Xue's cleverness, I'm afraid the efforts would have been wasted!"

"This matter definitely cannot be left at that!!"

Qianjun Douluo also expressed agreement, "Grand Elder, should we send someone to eliminate this Xue Xing? His existence could potentially endanger Xiao Xue!"

Qian Dao Liu shook his head, "No need, if Xue Xing's existence were to make Xiao Xue feel wary and even risk exposing her identity, she would certainly act in time to take him out!"

"But till now there has been no order for Snake Spear and Citun to act; she must be confident in resolving any issues she'll encounter afterward!"

Acting rashly against Xue Xing would only needlessly complicate Xiao Xue's situation!!

Gold Crocodile Douluo and Qianjun Douluo exchanged glances, still somewhat apprehensive...

The former couldn't help but retort, "Grand Elder, it's true that Xiao Xue is exceptional, but that Xue Xing is no easy opponent. In case..."

Qian Dao Liu's attitude remained unchanged, "I trust Xiao Xue; she will handle these matters well. You all should not interfere any further!"

Said as much, the two could no longer go against his wishes, "Yes, Grand Elder!!"

Seeing them agree, Qian Dao Liu waved a hand, "Alright, you may all leave. I wish to be alone for a while!!"

As the words ended, Qianjun Douluo and Gold Crocodile Douluo signaled each other and quickly left the room...

When the surroundings were empty, Qian Dao Liu slowly closed his eyes, "Tang Hao, I do indeed want to see if you have the courage to come to the Worship Hall!!"
