Chapter 264 The Deal is Made
After Yang Podi finished stating his conditions, everyone present fell silent.
Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu, and Bibi Dong are the true leaders of the Spirit Empire. They have always been very confident in the strength of the Spirit Empire. Yang Podi actually said that his information was related to the life and death of the Spirit Empire. Isn't that a bit of an underestimation of everyone present?
The six elders, who had been relatively quiet, now had very serious expressions. No one respected the Spirit Hall more or cared more about its life and death than they did.
Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke first: "Yang Podi, you're making this news sound so serious. Aren't you underestimating our Spirit Empire? Our six elders are all top-tier experts. I don't believe anyone can challenge our Spirit Empire."
Yang Podi shook his head slightly: "Golden Crocodile Douluo, I know that your strength has reached level 98, which is one of the very few level 98 experts in the entire Douluo Continent. You can be said to have the highest soul power after the three peerless Douluo. But don't forget, I don't know if you participated in the battle against the Clear Sky Sect, but at least you failed. You did not destroy the Clear Sky Sect."
Golden Crocodile Douluo was deeply moved upon hearing this: "We did not lose the battle against the Clear Sky Sect. It was just that Tang Hao fought desperately. Besides, they also lost two Title Douluos. No matter how you look at it, we won."
Yang Podi couldn't help but sigh: "If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze. Since you've already taken action against the Clear Sky Sect, why didn't you take the opportunity to completely eradicate them? Now that the Clear Sky Sect has gathered all the Soul Masters in the world to oppose your Spirit Hall, isn't that punishment for you?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo sneered, "Don't talk big, kid. Didn't you fail to kill Tang Hao and Tang Xiao during the battle at Tianxing Academy? You talk about eliminating the root of the problem, but you're no better than that yourself."
"What you said is indeed true. I miscalculated in the battle at Tianxing Academy, but at least I found out who was behind Haotian Sect and how deep Haotian Sect is. It's better than you returning empty-handed and still not knowing anything."
At this moment, Qian Daoliu's expression darkened: "Young friend Yang Podi, do you perhaps know who rescued Tang Hao and Tang Xiao back then?"
Yang Podi glanced at Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue: "Of course, this person is incredibly powerful. He not only rescued Tang Hao and Tang Xiao at Tianxing Academy, but also restrained you during the Tiandou Palace coup. I think you should be very interested in this person's strength and identity."
Qian Daoliu's eyes seemed to flash with a cold light: "Who exactly is this person? Logically speaking, there should only be three peerless Douluo in the world: myself, Poseidon, and Tang Chen. How could there be other top experts?"
Yang Podi shook his head: "This person is not just a peerless Douluo. If he were to unleash his full power, even you in this Spirit City might not be his match. Besides, who said they only have one peerless Douluo?"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression turned somewhat cold: "What do you mean by that? Do you mean they have several more Peerless Douluo over there?"
Yang Podi did not answer Bibi Dong's question: "Although the Spirit Empire is known for its strength and is the strongest force in the world on the surface, that is not the case. There are many hidden forces in the world. Be careful that these forces do not attack you from behind. If that happens, the Spirit Empire may be completely wiped out, and all its plans over the years will be in vain."
After Yang Podi finished speaking, everyone present fell silent, not even the arrogant Golden Crocodile Douluo.
After an unknown amount of time, Qian Renxue spoke with a somewhat grave expression: "Can you guarantee that your promise will be fulfilled? Can you guarantee the accuracy of the information you provide and its potential harm to my Spirit Hall?"
Looking at Qian Renxue's stunningly beautiful face, Yang Podi couldn't help but shake his head: "Miss Qian Renxue, I'm really not used to you having such a different look. I remember we've collaborated several times before. Were you satisfied with the results of our previous collaborations?"
Qian Renxue's face darkened upon hearing this: "Although I gained quite a bit from our previous collaborations, you gained even more. Otherwise, your Tianxing Academy wouldn't be enjoying its current prosperity."
"Cooperation is supposed to be a win-win situation. It's impossible for me to suffer losses to benefit you. What's the point of such cooperation for me? Just like this cooperation, it's simply a matter of each party getting what they need."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's lips seemed to tremble with a hint of resentment, but she ultimately spoke up: "Fine, I can agree to your cooperation. I will bring the Angelic Holy Sword to handle this target with you. After it's done, I hope you will keep your promise."
Yang Podi finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I wish us both a pleasant cooperation."
Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue with some worry: "Xiaoxue, Yang Podi is too cunning, too scheming, and his strength is exceptionally formidable. You need to think this through carefully."
"Grandpa, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Although Yang Podi has ill intentions, he is indeed qualified to cooperate with me, and our previous collaborations have been very successful."
After Qian Renxue finished speaking, she directly addressed Yang Podi: "Now you can show your sincerity, right? Who exactly was that man in black who blocked my grandfather during the Heavenly Dou Palace coup?"
Yang Podi smiled slightly: "Your Majesty Bibi Dong, could you give some examples of the most powerful forces in the world?"
Bibi Dong was surprised that Yang Podi would ask her this question, and her face turned a little gloomy: "Now, apart from my Martial Soul Empire, the only truly powerful forces are Heavenly Path Academy, Seagod Island, Heaven Dou Empire, Star Luo Empire, and the Three Upper Sects. All others are just chickens and dogs."
Yang Podi shook his head slightly: "The world is ignorant. I never thought that you, the emperor of the Martial Soul Empire, would only have this much knowledge."
Bibi Dong's face immediately turned frosty: "Boy, stop playing coy. Your sincerity had better prove something."
Yang Podi sneered, "Don't be in such a hurry. We have to take things one step at a time. The one who stopped Senior Qian Daoliu last time was not some peerless Douluo, nor some reclusive master, but the master of the Star Dou Great Forest."
Everyone looked on in astonishment: "The master of the Star Dou Great Forest? How is that possible?"
Yang Podi glanced at the crowd around him: "Your vision is limited to ordinary human soul masters, but your enemies are far more powerful than you imagine."
"The one who stopped Senior Qian Daoliu last time was the master of the Star Dou Great Forest—Black Dragon Emperor Tian. Black Dragon Emperor Tian belongs to the Black Dragon Clan, and could perhaps be called Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Emperor Tian, also known as the Beast God."
"Di Tian is a black dragon that is nearly 800,000 years old. In terms of personal strength alone, he should be the strongest on the entire Douluo Star. Di Tian was not born on our Douluo Continent, but came from the God Realm. He was also the patriarch of the Black Dragon Clan in the God Realm."
Bibi Dong suddenly interrupted Yang Podi angrily, "You're talking utter nonsense! How could a soul beast reach such an advanced age? And how could it possibly come from the God Realm? If this person truly possessed such strength, wouldn't the soul beast race have already ruled the entire Douluo Continent? Furthermore, if this person were truly a soul beast in human form, how could they possibly escape the eyes of the Grand Elder?"
Yang Podi didn't say anything, but directly revealed his nine spirit rings. After the five black and four red spirit rings were revealed, everyone present felt immense pressure. Even Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue, who were descendants of the Angel God, felt Yang Podi's strength.
"Take a close look at my ninth spirit ring. This spirit ring is different from ordinary 100,000-year spirit rings."
After carefully examining Yang Podi's spirit ring, everyone's expressions changed slightly. Many of the people present had come into contact with 100,000-year spirit rings before, and they could clearly feel that the energy of this spirit ring was extraordinary. In particular, the fact that this spirit ring actually had five golden lines on it stunned everyone.
Yang Podi ignored the others' astonishment: "Normally, after a soul beast has lived for more than 100,000 years, it must undergo a lightning tribulation every 100,000 years. If it cannot withstand it, it will be reduced to ashes. However, if it can withstand it, its strength will increase significantly, and it can already be called a ferocious beast."
"Their spirit rings are different. Every 100,000 years, they will have an additional golden stripe on their spirit rings. My ninth spirit ring is over 500,000 years old, so it has five golden stripes."
"When Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo led everyone to capture Xiao Wu, they encountered a tall middle-aged man. That man was also a member of the ferocious beast clan, a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that was over 400,000 years old. This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear possessed the ultimate gold, so its injuries could not be healed by an ordinary Soul Saint."
After hearing this, Bibi Dong spoke again: "That's still not right. Even if they are soul beasts, their strength will drop drastically if they rebuild their cultivation. If a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast wants to grow, it must come into contact with humans. Whether it's the Black Dragon King or the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear you mentioned, we human soul masters have no information or records about them."
Yang Podi sneered: "Who said they are transformed soul beasts? After soul beasts have lived for more than 200,000 years and undergone tribulation, they can freely transform into human form. It's just that they can't hide the aura of ferocious beasts on their bodies."
"Both Di Tian and Xiong Jun, whom you encountered, have reached the level of 99. Moreover, their physical attributes are even stronger than those of Limit Douluo. Otherwise, Di Tian would not have been able to rescue Tang Hao and his group from me. Otherwise, even with the strength of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, they would not have been able to withstand more than a few moves from Xiong Jun."
"Purely speaking, if one hadn't reached level 99, it would have been impossible to intercept Qian Daoliu. Even Jin E Douluo, whether it was intercepting Qian Daoliu or instantly killing Ju Gui Douluo, probably couldn't do it."
"Furthermore, Pope Bibi Dong, you may not be aware of the existence of ferocious beasts, but as the High Priest of the Angel God, Senior Qian Daoliu, you must have heard of something similar, right? You should know that the Angel God was able to achieve godhood by suppressing all the ferocious beasts back then."
After hearing this, even though everyone looked at Qian Daoliu with puzzled eyes, Qian Daoliu just stood there silently thinking about something and didn't say anything, obviously he had thought of something.
Qian Daoliu thought for a long time before speaking: "In the top-secret documents passed down by the Angel Clan, there are indeed a very few mentions of ferocious beasts that are over 100,000 years old, but logically speaking, there shouldn't be any soul beasts of this level in the entire Douluo Continent."
"Young friend Yang Podi, where did you get this information from? Even the information I received was passed down from the first generation of angelic ancestors tens of thousands of years ago."
Yang Podi shook his head: "I naturally have my own sources of information. As long as the information is accurate, that's all that matters. Why do you care so much about other things?"
