Chapter 139 I Feel A Little Itchy

After arriving at the Tiandou Palace by carriage, Zhao Ling followed the attendants to the outside of the Qinzheng Hall.

After the attendant stood still, he bowed to him respectfully and said, "Please wait at the door for a while. I will go in and inform them."

Zhao Ling nodded lightly, watched the attendants walk into the hall, then leaned against a stone pillar beside him and closed his eyes to rest.

The soldiers guarding outside the Qinzheng Hall pretended not to see anything and stood straight without blinking.

After a few minutes or so, the attendant came out and preached to him.

"You may go in now. His Majesty and the Prince are waiting for you."

Zhao Ling nodded indifferently, opened his eyes, and walked straight into the Qinzheng Hall.

After entering the Qinzheng Hall, the first thing Zhao Ling saw was Emperor Xue Ye sitting on the throne.

Next is Prince Xuexing sitting on the lower left, and sitting on the lower right is a middle-aged man who looks elegant, easy-going and has an extraordinary appearance.

There were two people standing behind the middle-aged man. One of them had long silver hair and was wearing a snow-white robe. He had a simple appearance but skin as delicate as a baby's.

The other one had a haggard face, abnormally dry muscles and skin, deep eye sockets, and a very large frame, but his figure was not that of a man with extremely strong muscles.

Zhao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly. He could feel that the two people behind the middle-aged man should be Titled Douluo powerhouses. Combining their appearance, he guessed that they were Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

Although the two men looked to be around thirty years old and did not look old, Zhao Ling was very clear that in the later part of the first part, both of them were over a hundred years old.

Therefore, according to the timeline, these two should be in their sixties or seventies now, and naturally their strength should have reached the level of Titled Douluo.

As for the identity of the middle-aged man, Zhao Ling guessed that it should be Ning Fengzhi's father, and definitely could not be Ning Fengzhi himself.

After all, Ning Fengzhi seemed younger than Tang Hao in the original novel, so how could he be the middle-aged man in front of him?

Zhao Ling retracted his gaze and nodded to Emperor Xue Ye, "Your Majesty, why did you ask me to come to the palace?"

Emperor Xue Ye then stood up from the throne with a flattering smile on his face.

"Demon Suppression Worshiper, you are finally here. Come, please give the Demon Suppression Worshiper a seat."

After he finished speaking, several attendants brought a throne and placed it next to Prince Xuexing. Zhao Ling sat down on the throne without hesitation.

After Zhao Ling sat down, he looked at the three people opposite him with pretended confusion and asked directly.

"Your Majesty, these three are..."

Seeing that Zhao Ling's curiosity had been aroused, Emperor Xue Ye laughed heartily and pointed at the middle-aged man sitting at the lower right and introduced him to Zhao Ling.

"This is the current leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. The two behind him are the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's Protector Douluo."

Afterwards, Emperor Xue Ye pointed at Zhao Ling and introduced him to the three people: "Master Ning, this is Zhao Ling, the Demon Suppression Douluo, and also the first worshiper of our Tiandou Imperial Family..."

After Emperor Xue Ye introduced Zhao Ling's identity to the current leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the current leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect cast a curious look at Zhao Ling.

Although he had heard in the past few days that the royal family had invited a Titled Douluo to become the first royal priest, they had never found out who this Titled Douluo was.

Now that this mysterious royal priest appeared before him, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's leader was of course very curious, but he always felt that the title of Demon Suppression Douluo seemed somewhat familiar.

After thinking hard for a while, his pupils suddenly shrank. Wasn't this the Demon-Suppressing Douluo who was engaged to the new Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall some time ago?

At that time, he also sent people to carefully investigate this Demon Suppressing Douluo. He heard that this Demon Suppressing Douluo's surname was Zhao, and he was met by the new Saint of the Spirit Hall in Soto City.

Later, the Demon-Suppressing Douluo and the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall fell in love with each other, but this offended the second young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, and a series of events happened.

Later, after he returned to Wuhun City with the Spirit Hall team, the Pope of the Spirit Hall personally held an engagement ceremony for them. Therefore, this Demon-Suppressing Douluo was considered half a Spirit Hall member.

However, it is said that this Demon Suppressing Douluo does not like to stay in the Spirit Hall and prefers the life of a free and easy wanderer.

Therefore, he escaped from the Spirit Hall right after he got engaged to the new Saint Maiden of the Spirit Hall, which made the current leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect feel very funny.

The Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall was actually abandoned by her newly engaged fiancé, and fled from the Spirit Hall as if she was running for her life. It can only be said that the Spirit Hall is so useless that it can't even keep a single person.

It must be said that the current leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was glad that Zhao Ling could not hear his thoughts.

Otherwise, Zhao Ling would definitely slap him in the face and curse at him.

"Damn it, am I going to abandon my Dong'er? It's obvious that old fellow Qian Xunji dislikes that my staying in the Spirit Hall will slow down my Dong'er's advancement. Don't call me that kind of scumbag. Do you think I don't miss my Dong'er? Damn…"

At the same time, Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong were also looking at Zhao Ling curiously, and they exchanged glances from time to time.

This Demon-Suppressing Douluo looks so familiar. Isn't he the guy who was just granted a title by the Spirit Hall and was given the honorary elder of the Spirit Hall, but has always been an unknown guy on the Douluo Continent?

"What do you think, Chen Xin, are you interested in competing with him?" Gu Rong leaned close to Chen Xin's ear and whispered.

"What, do you want to compete with him?" Chen Xin glanced at Gu Rong in surprise and asked tentatively.

"Well, seeing that there is a good opponent, I feel itchy and want to give it a try." Gu Rong nodded without thinking.

At this moment, Zhao Ling also felt the fighting spirit rising in Gu Rong's eyes, and was very confused. It seemed that he had no grudge against this guy Gu Douluo, right? Why would he want to fight with him?

To be honest, Zhao Ling didn't want to fight with Bone Douluo, because the quality of Bone Douluo's martial spirit was worse than that of his own Demon Suppression Tower.

He was absolutely at an advantage in terms of martial soul configuration, soul bones, etc., so the absolutely crushing victory did not arouse any interest in him.

But Bone Douluo did not let him have his way. He took a step forward and clasped his fists towards Emperor Xue Ye.

"Your Majesty, I see that the Demon Suppression Douluo is quite powerful, and I would like to compete with him. May I ask Your Majesty for permission?"

Emperor Xue Ye did not expect that, out of nowhere, Bone Douluo would actually ask to compete with Demon Suppression Douluo.

Because he was worried that Zhao Ling would be unhappy, he didn't dare to nod and agree directly, so he turned his gaze to Zhao Ling.

Zhao Ling was quite helpless about this, but finally nodded and agreed.

There was no other way. When he first came to the Tiandou Imperial City, Emperor Xue Ye and Prince Xue Xing hired him as the first priest of the Tiandou Royal Family at a very outrageous price.

He was now facing the challenge of Bone Douluo. If he took a step back, some people would think he was cowardly.

Perhaps it won't be long before a minister will write to Emperor Xue Ye, saying that he is unworthy of the title and unfit to be a royal servant. Even if Zhao Ling is not afraid of rumors, he doesn't want to be gossiped about by others.
