Hu Liena and the others had finally reached the outskirts of Heaven Dou City, where Yue Guan halted them.
Their faces were pale and their eyes wide with fear.
After a moment of silence, Yue Guan said, "I never expected the eight great families to hide their power so well!"
Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan nodded in agreement.
This was not a matter of hiding or not.
The enemy was too formidable.
"Elder Chrysanthemum, what level do you think Neuvillette's soul power is?" Hu Liena asked softly, her eyebrows furrowed.
Her body was still shaking slightly, showing that she had not recovered from the shock.
Yan was in a similar state, but Xie Yue managed to calm herself down and stop trembling.
Yue Guan stroked his chin with his right hand and thought for a while before answering, "I think Neuvillette is at the level of the Grand Elder."
"Grand Elder?"
The three of them gasped. They were not qualified to know the name of Qian Daoliu, the peerless Douluo of the ninety-ninth level.
"I pay my respects to Qian Daoliu, the Limit Douluo of the ninety-ninth level!" Yue Guan said without changing his expression.
He actually felt that Neuvillette was stronger than Qian Daoliu, because he had seen Qian Daoliu in action, and although it was awe-inspiring, it was not as overwhelming.
Yue Guan was certain that Qian Daoliu could not control him as easily as Neuvillette did.
A ninety-fifth level Titled Douluo was already a super powerhouse, but he had no chance to resist...
"Hiss~"
The three of them inhaled sharply, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"Does that mean that Neuvillette and Focalors are both... at least a hundred years old?" Yan blurted out.
The first thing that came to his mind was their age.
Yue Guan seemed to have realized something and nodded, "Yes, Neuvillette is at least a hundred years old."
"That makes sense. No wonder he and his fiancée like fishing..."
"I thought they were just young people wasting time and not making progress."
"I didn't expect that they..."
They all had a sudden epiphany and understood.
Considering the age of Neuvillette and Focalors, it was reasonable that they liked to fish peacefully and enjoy their two-person world, and did not like to be disturbed by others.
"We were wrong from the start..."
"It's not our fault. Who would have guessed that they look younger than us..."
"Especially Focalors..."
"A hundred years old... Ouch~ Elder Chrysanthemum, why did you hit me?"
Yan, who had been smacked on the head, asked in confusion.
Why did Yue Guan lash out at him?
"Maintain absolute respect for the strong, so that you can live longer."
"Be careful not to cause trouble with your mouth!"
"I'm only hitting you. If they hear what you said, it won't be as simple as a hit."
Yue Guan looked at Yan coldly and said quietly.
Children just can't control themselves and like to court death!
But don't drag others into it!
He, Yue Guan, still want to live.
After hearing this, Yan quickly shut up, lowered his head, and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Yue Guan didn't say anything else.
"Let's go to the Spirit Hall and see what Salas did to earn the attention of a peerless powerhouse. His life was worthwhile." Yue Guan said with a grim expression.
He didn't care whether Salas lived or died.
But because of him, he almost lost his life. This account had to be settled!
"Yes!"
Yue Guan led Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan straight to the Spirit Hall. When they arrived at the gate, Salas, who was old but had sharp eyes, had already come out to welcome them.
Salas, the Platinum Bishop of Spirit Hall, greeted Yue Guan at the gate of Heaven Dou City.
He was one of the four platinum bishops in Spirit Hall, a position he had attained after rising from a Soul Douluo-level cardinal. He was not a Titled Douluo, but he was a peak-level Soul Doulou nonetheless.
He had met Yue Guan before, a high-ranking person in the Pope's Palace who was second only to one person and above ten thousand others.
He wondered why Yue Guan had come here so suddenly, and whether the Pope had any new orders for him.
But to his surprise, Yue Guan took out the Elder Order and handed it to him.
And it was not addressed to him!
"Pay your respects to the elder!" Yue Guan commanded.
The Templar knights around him saluted obediently.
"Take down, Bishop Salas!" Yue Guan repeated.
"???"
Salas and everyone else were stunned. What did Yue Guan mean by this?
"Didn't you hear me?"
"Take down, Bishop Salas!"
Yue Guan's face darkened and he shouted angrily.
"Yue Guan, what are you doing?" Salas asked, confused. He stopped calling him "elder" and used his name instead.
The Templar knights hesitated. This was the Spirit Hall, and Salas was the top authority here. But Yue Guan was an elder of the Spirit Hall, and he had the order to prove it.
"I don't have time to explain!"
"Obey!"
The Templars stopped wavering. Even though Salas was a platinum bishop and had great power, he could not defy an elder.
They quickly subdued Salas, who did not resist.
"What did I do wrong?" Salas asked, bewildered. He had been loyal to Spirit Hall and dedicated to its development. He had never done anything to dishonor Spirit Hall.
Why was he arrested for no reason?
When this was over, he would go to the Pope's Palace himself and confront Yue Guan!
"You'll find out soon enough!"
Yue Guan said coldly. Then he turned to Hu Liena and the others and said, "Nana, you can go ahead. This Bishop Salas won't bother you anymore."
"???"
Salas looked puzzled. He knew Hu Liena, a disciple of the Pope, who had come to Heaven Dou City to investigate the matter of the titled Douluo fight.
What was going on?
Were they not here to check the Titled Douluo, but him instead?
"Thank you, Elder Chrysanthemum!"
Hu Liena said gratefully. She took Xie Yue and Yan and headed to the back of Spirit Hall branch.
Salas: "???"
Salas still didn't understand why Yue Guan, Hu Liena, and the others had done this.
Then he remembered something, and his face turned pale.
"Could it be because of those women?"
He thought, looking at Yue Guan, Hu Liena, and the others with suspicion.
