With the first two bombshells, the third piece of intelligence seemed somewhat insignificant, and even without the first two pieces of news, Li Qing wouldn't have cared.
Tai Tan was foolishly loyal, but only to Tang Hao.
If Tang San went, he would immediately pledge allegiance, but if Tang Yuehua and Tang Lu went, wouldn't that just be asking for a scolding? Not being directly driven out was already due to fear of the Clear Sky Sect.
However, if Tai Tan knew that Tang Hao had another son, would he take the initiative to seek him out and pledge allegiance?
Tang San could no longer pose a threat to Li Qing, but his Hidden Weapons still had to be guarded against, after all, this sewer World was truly too outrageous.
Tiny Hidden Weapons could actually kill gods.
However, without materials, even if Tang San subdued the Strength Clan, he wouldn't be able to forge those top-tier Hidden Weapons, and in the original work, Tang San's materials came from the Blacksmith Association.
Furthermore, his ability to forge those top-tier Hidden Weapons also relied on the president of the Blacksmith Association. If Lou Gao could be subdued, then Tang San's Hidden Weapons would only gather dust in his mind.
Subduing them… After a moment of thought, Li Qing had an idea. He didn't know if it would work, he could only say he would try. If it really didn't work, then he wouldn't be blamed for being ruthless.
Bone Douluo looked at Li Qing: "I'll go back to the Sect to understand the specific situation. You all should also prepare. If necessary, we might have to resist Spirit Hall together."
"Alright."
Li Qing nodded, then looked at the Breaking Clan disciple, telling him to notify Yang Wudi, the Ye Family, and the Dugu Family to prepare for a temporary relocation.
Fighting separately was definitely not an option. If there was truly no other way, they could only collectively go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
To Li Qing and the others' surprise, Bone Douluo returned not long after he left, and with him was a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciple.
It seemed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also sent someone to notify Li Qing and the others as soon as they received the news.
Bone Douluo looked at Li Qing and said, "Chrysanthemum Pass and Ghost Douluo really did defect. The specific reason is unknown, but Fengzhi speculates it might be related to you killing Yu Xiaogang."
"Because before their defection, Gold Crocodile Douluo went to the Supreme Pontiff Palace and temporarily relieved Bibi Dong of her duties."
"Fengzhi speculates that Bibi Dong might have wanted to avenge Yu Xiaogang, but the Hall of Offerings disagreed, leading to a conflict, so they simply relieved her of her duties."
Li Qing: "..."
Although it was just a guess, Li Qing estimated it was highly likely. Bibi Dong was capable of such a thing, and Qian Daoliu wouldn't just stand by and watch her start a war with them over a useless person.
However, Chrysanthemum Pass and Ghost Douluo's choice surprised him slightly. One must know that in the original work, Chrysanthemum Pass and Ghost Douluo were very loyal to Spirit Hall. What reason would force them to defect?
Could it be that Bibi Dong, despite the Hall of Offerings' obstruction, wanted to send them to forcibly kill him?
It couldn't be, right?
Although Bibi Dong was crazy, she shouldn't be that foolish. To disregard the lives of two Title Douluo for a useless person like Yu Xiaogang, wouldn't that be forcing them to rebel?
Is being blinded by love that terrifying?
Bone Douluo continued, "However, we cannot be careless. Bibi Dong's mind is problematic, otherwise, Chrysanthemum Pass and Ghost Douluo wouldn't have defected. She might still make some outrageous moves."
"Fengzhi speculates that the team currently heading to Heaven Dou City is very likely coming for you."
"That team, besides two Title Douluo, also has three Spirit Douluo, six Spirit Saint, and nearly a hundred Spirit King. They are the elite troops of the Supreme Pontiff's Knights."
"The Sect cannot spare manpower to protect you because it needs to guard against unforeseen circumstances."
"Fengzhi's suggestion is for you all to temporarily stay at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for a period, or to have the Breaking Clan and the Ye Family bring people to the castle for defense."
Li Qing's eyes narrowed slightly.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School truly lived up to its name as one of the Upper Three Sects. Their intelligence system was truly extraordinary; they had a clear understanding of what happened at the Supreme Pontiff Palace and the composition of that team.
However, the identities of those spies had probably already been exposed, otherwise, they wouldn't have been caught off guard in the end.
In other words, if Spirit Hall truly wanted to attack the Upper Three Sects, the first thing they would do is clear out the spies. It seems this needs to be noted.
After all, with his arrival, under the butterfly effect, some things would definitely change.
If he still blindly followed the timeline and plot of the original work to match reality, then once something unexpected happened, he might not even know how he died.
"There's no need to be so nervous."
Dugu Bo laughed, "I'll kill as many as come below the Title Douluo rank. If Spirit Hall wants to move against Li Qing, they'll have to send enough Title Douluo, and if that's the case, going to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be meaningless."
Bone Douluo slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot about you, the Poison Douluo."
Poison Douluo couldn't help but roll his eyes, but he didn't dwell on the nickname, as for him, it could be considered a compliment.
Although the crisis was not over, it had lessened considerably, which also made Li Qing breathe a sigh of relief.
In a great mood, he took Ye Lingling back to the room to try some new things, releasing himself thoroughly, then hugged her and sweetly drifted off to sleep.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy is different from Heaven Dou Noble Academy; Heaven Dou Royal Academy has a dedicated dueling arena, complete with a stage and spectator stands.
After Li Qing and the others arrived at the Academy, they went directly to the arena.
The Heaven Dou Arena was not small in scale; it could accommodate five thousand spectators simultaneously, which already far exceeded the total number of teachers and students at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
It made one wonder whether to call it wasteful or extravagant.
Below the tiered spectator stands, in the center of the arena, was a circular stage with a diameter of a hundred meters, entirely constructed from granite.
Furthermore, it was reinforced with a large number of spirit tool, making it virtually impossible for Spirit Master below Spirit Emperor to destroy the stage.
The arena at Heaven Dou Royal Academy was built strictly according to the specifications for the Spirit Master Grand Competition's dedicated arena. Looking at the entire continent, perhaps only Spirit Hall Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy could be so extravagant.
The four major Academy teams and Tang San's group had already arrived.
They were currently in the Living Area around the stage, preparing for the match. Since Li Qing and the others didn't need to participate, they could only watch from the spectator stands, but their seats were excellent.
Not long after they took their seats, Qin Ming also arrived.
"There are only two duels this morning. The first match is between Heavenly Water Academy and our Academy's second team. The second match is between Blazing Academy and Thunder Academy."
"In the afternoon, the second team will face Divine Wind Academy again, and then they will continue to rotate until all Academies have competed against each other."
"However, after just the first three matches, you will basically have a certain understanding of the strength of each team. Whether to continue watching after that is up to you."
The Spirit power levels of the four major Academy teams were quite different from Li Qing's group, so Qin Ming didn't require them to watch from beginning to end.
Li Qing nodded.
He suddenly thought of a question: Did Qin Ming know that Dai Mubai and the others were from Shrek Academy, and did he know about the conflict between himself and Flender and the others?
He should know.
