173: Dugu Bo's News
After dawn, all the industries belonging to the Qing family in Huaibei City came to a halt, and the news of the Qing family's destruction spread.
The noise when Tang Hao attacked was quite loud. The people in the city only discovered it so late because the Qing family mansion was large enough. In addition, the night watchmen in the city were forbidden to approach the mansion.
The Qing family is very powerful. The person who could wipe them out silently must be a leader among the Titled Douluo.
When Xue Ye heard the news, his first reaction was that this was done by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
But he denied it soon. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had hosted many guests in the sect in the past few days, and Sword Bone Douluo and the elders in the sect had never left the sect.
Although Ning Fengzhi's behavior was a bit strange, Xue Ye could not pin the blame of the destruction of the Qing family on the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect without substantial evidence.
Not long after, Ning Fengzhi got the news and rushed to the palace with Gu Rong.
Ning Fengzhi's goal is very simple, to clear the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect of suspicion while disrupting Xue Ye's investigation ideas. As for the scapegoat, it is naturally the Spirit Hall.
However, without solid evidence, Xue Ye could not publicly condemn them. He only summoned the Platinum Bishop Sarath of the Tiandou City Martial Spirit Temple.
This matter was not done by the Spirit Hall, so Sarath would certainly not admit it. Even if the news was sent back to the Pope's Palace, Pope Bibi Dong ignored it and didn't even bother to issue a statement.
Xue Ye quickly pointed the finger at Xue Xing. Apart from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Xue Xing had some issues with them. More importantly, Xue Xing could mobilize Dugu Bo.
In the middle of the day, Xue Xing was summoned to the palace without even having time to eat.
In the imperial study, Xue Ye slammed the news of the annihilation of the Qing family in Xue Xing's face.
"Xue Xing, how many times have I told you that the Qing family in Huaibei City intends to become a vassal of the royal family? Why did you let His Majesty Dugu go and cause trouble for them?"
Although Dugu Bo was not very strong, he was very good at poison. It was not difficult for him to destroy a family silently.
Xue Xing was a little confused at the moment. He had been enjoying himself these days and had long forgotten about the Qing family's affairs. Moreover, he hadn't seen Dugu Bo for some time. What did this have to do with him?
"Royal brother, I have been either at home or at the Tiandou Auction House these days. And Your Majesty Dugu, I haven't seen Qi Tian since he joined the Divine Wind Academy. This is definitely not my order."
There are many royal spies in the Tiandou Auction House. Xue Xing will only sit there and watch his suspicion if he lies about such things.
Xue Ye's expression eased a lot, and he asked, "Your Majesty Dugu, have you made any moves these days?"
Xue Xing shook her head, "No, I heard from people in the academy a few days ago that Dugu Mian went to Tiandou Royal Academy to visit his granddaughter. He hasn't left yet. Do you need me to call him over?"
Hearing this, Xue Ye knew that his suspicion was wrong.
But does the Qing family have a grudge against the Spirit Hall? He couldn't help but put a question mark in his mind!
It is true that the Spirit Hall acts in a domineering manner, but they will not kill people at will.
The matter could never be solved, and Xue Ye gradually gave up the investigation.
Although the loss of the Qing family is a pity, it will not shake the royal family.
Prince Xuexing, on the other hand, was extremely happy.
At the Tiandou auction, the Qing family had snatched his items. As luck would have it, these guys were finally punished.
In a society like Douluo Continent where information is not available, the news of the Qing family's destruction was only discussed in a few cities near Huaibei City. People in places further away were completely unaware of it. Of course, they also didn't know about the Qing family.
…
After Feng Xiaotian successfully advanced to Soul King, the training of the Fenghuo Team in the Star Dou Great Forest came to an end.
The cooperation among the group was perfect, so we won't have to spend much time on team training going forward.
It is worth mentioning that during this period, Qi Tian's soul power broke through two levels in a row and reached level 48.
"Before the Soul Master Competition Qualifiers, the Academy has changed your training requirements from team to individual. Qi Tian, you have the greatest prospect for breakthrough. In the remaining three months, practice soul power as much as possible. I hope that before the finals, you can break through to the Soul King."
The Soul Master Competition lasted nearly three months. The preliminaries lasted a month, and after a break, the promotion and elimination rounds would begin. The journey to the finals venue, plus the finals itself, would take at least a month.
After the promotion match, if Qi Tiancai broke through, it would obviously be too late for him to hunt for soul rings.
This means that two levels must be broken through within a maximum of four months, which is a daunting task.
"If you are too late, you don't have to participate in the preliminaries, Qi Tian." Feng Wutan said.
"I will try my best." Qi Tian responded solemnly.
After a pause, he looked at Feng Xiaotian, "Xiaotian, I remember your fighting spirit level is not far from the purple gold fighting spirit badge. You are a soul king now, so you don't need to challenge higher level opponents. How about giving it a try?"
That's right, most of the owners of the Gold Fighting Soul Badge are Soul Kings.
Feng Xiaotian thought it made sense, so he decided to go to the Great Soul Fighting Arena to participate in the Soul Fighting in the next few days. In addition to Qi Tian, other members of the Fenghuo Team were also interested in the Soul Fighting.
Of course, it doesn't mean that everyone wants to isolate Qi Tian. His fighting spirit badge is too high, and it is difficult to match an opponent. Even if he can match an opponent, he can only fight one-on-one fighting spirits. Two-on-two and team fighting spirits are basically impossible.
On the other side, after learning that Qi Tian had returned, Dugu Bo left Tiandou Royal Academy and quickly rushed to Shinfeng Academy.
"Little monster, you're finally back."
"What's wrong? Did something big happen while I was away?" Qi Tian asked curiously.
If it wasn't a big deal, there would be no need for Dugu Bo to make the trip alone.
Dugu Bo nodded and told him about the battle with Tang Hao.
He exaggerated the process of the battle, and when he talked about the final result, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
"You are the one who is being mean. You have grasped Tang Hao's weak spot." Qi Tian smiled in silence.
You know, if you push him too hard, Tang Hao will do something desperate. It can only be said that Dugu Bo's strength was just right. As a result, he will not be troubled by Tang Hao's affairs for a long time.
Dugu Bo disagreed, "Little monster, I learned this from you. You are right, the martial arts world is not about fighting and killing, but about the human relationships and ways of the world."
Qi Tian smiled and said, "Don't be so cocky. This kind of talk won't work the second time. If you want to defeat Tang Hao, you need to be strong enough. There's little point in speculating."
At this point, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, "However, when I am strong enough, old monster, you come with me to kill Tang Hao. If I am not mistaken, he has a lot of high-aged spirit bones, and we will split them in half when the time comes."
Dugu Bo said unhappily, "You just said that I am your old man, but now you are eyeing the soul bone of Tang Hao?"
"However, I don't want to miss the great honor of killing Haotian Douluo."
