The championship reward consisted of three ten-thousand-year-old spirit bones.
One of them had reached the twenty-thousand-year mark.
They were left leg and right leg spirit bones, which were somewhat less valuable.
In terms of cost-effectiveness, they were the lowest.
Dugu Yan, in a daze, received the rewards and walked down the steps absentmindedly.
She kept thinking about one question: why had Bibi Dong told her these things?
"I had mistaken it for love..."
Such despairing words. What had Pope Bibi Dong gone through?
Women, especially those in love, easily empathize.
At this moment, Dugu Yan felt a bit of pity for Bibi Dong.
As the Pope, Bibi Dong had no reason or need to deceive her with such matters.
After all, Bibi Dong had even said, "This kid is probably not bad..."
It showed she was just stating a fact, not trying to sow discord between her and Yu Tianheng.
When Dugu Yan rejoined the team, everyone glanced at the spirit bones in her hands with some envy, then looked at Neuvillette standing not far away.
In an instant, they gave up any inappropriate thoughts.
With a background of a titled Douluo, they might take a gamble.
But with two god-level experts as the background, such things were not even to be considered, let alone attempted!
Seeing Dugu Yan like this, Yu Tianheng felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, yet he couldn't say a word.
"Everyone, the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament has ended. Now, let's discuss the matter of the official members of Blue Sunshine Academy being murdered."
Bibi Dong said expressionlessly.
She already knew what had happened, as Ghost Douluo had reported it last night.
She had merely asked Ghost to keep an eye on Tang San and capture him if there was an opportunity.
Unexpectedly, such a dramatic event had occurred.
Poisoning and assassination?
Could Tang Hao's son really have done that?
The direct descendant of the Clear Sky School, using such underhanded methods?
How ironic!
They still considered themselves to be righteous!
Such hypocritical justice.
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces changed as they recalled what had happened before the competition.
Although they knew it wasn't the work of the Spirit Hall, they needed to find a way to pin it on the Spirit Hall to maximize their benefits!
"Your Majesty, the seven members of Blue Sunshine were not only participants in this tournament but also citizens of the empire. Now they've been murdered in Spirit City. The Spirit Hall must give an explanation to the Heaven Dou Empire!"
A "general" of the Heaven Dou Empire said.
He originally had no qualification to watch the competition, but because of this incident, he had to come!
They needed to demand an explanation from the Spirit Hall, otherwise, how would others view the Heaven Dou Empire?
"Yes, the seven members of Blue Sunshine were the pillars of the empire, and now something has happened to them in Spirit City..."
What surprised everyone was that Bibi Dong, after hearing so many accusations, remained silent!
This was out of character for the Pope!
How strange!
"Xue Qinghe" didn't speak. She just looked at Bibi Dong, recalling her previous expression.
"What exactly does she mean?"
Qian Renxue was someone who loved to overthink things, stubbornly pursuing the truth!
If it weren't for this trait, in the original timeline, the Spirit Hall might not have lost.
Unless the Asura God played dirty...
Well, the Asura God never had any principles to begin with.
At this moment, a figure appeared, causing everyone to be slightly stunned.
He was covered in "wounds," as if he had suffered severe injuries, specifically from a blunt instrument.
"Ugh..."
Gui Mei spat out a mouthful of blood, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes.
He wasn't injured at all!
But he had to appear injured!
If he wasn't injured, with Tang San missing, he would have no reason to return.
"Hiss—"
Everyone gasped in bewilderment.
How could Ghost Douluo be so "severely" injured?
This wobbling, this trembling...
"Old Ghost!"
A figure descended from above the Pope's Palace, looking panicked, and quickly supported Gui Mei.
This person was Yue Guan, Gui Mei's close friend and confidant.
As he supported Gui Mei, Yue Guan was slightly stunned and instinctively glanced at Gui Mei out of the corner of his eye.
"What the heck is going on?"
Fortunately, Yue Guan was not foolish and quickly exclaimed in shock.
"Old Ghost, how did you get injured like this?"
There was a genuine tremble in his voice because they were deceiving everyone present!
"I... I encountered Tang Hao."
Gui Mei said weakly.
"Tang Yin is not Tang Yin!"
"He is Tang Hao's son, Tang San!"
"After killing the seven members of Blue Sunshine, Tang San took the opportunity to escape from Spirit City, I..."
"Ugh..."
Gui Mei was really giving it his all, spitting out another mouthful of blood to make the story more convincing.
"What, Tang Hao!!"
"Yes..."
"When I was chasing Tang San, Tang Hao ambushed me..."
A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree.
Gui Mei's appearance, coupled with his words, made the entire story more believable.
Of course, there was only one false statement: encountering Tang Hao!
But he had no idea how Tang San had disappeared!
If he didn't say Tang Hao had rescued Tang San, he couldn't return to Spirit Hall.
A dignified Titled Douluo chasing a Soul Sect and letting the opponent escape?
That's a joke!
After hearing Gui Mei's account, everyone present gasped again. That was the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao!
Bibi Dong glanced at Gui Mei, her eye twitching slightly. With her current strength, she could tell the extent of Gui Mei's injuries.
Deceiving others was fine, but deceiving her was a mistake.
This guy probably saw Tang Hao, ran away, and then came back to sell this pitiful act.
It made sense; even with so many people surrounding Tang Hao, they couldn't capture him!
Gui Mei dared to challenge Tang Hao alone?
That's a joke!
"Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao!"
"Tang Yin is Tang San!"
Many present were aware of the incident from more than two years ago.
It was Neuvillette famous battle!
Pope Bibi Dong personally led a team to hunt down Tang Hao and his son Tang San...
"This must be true!"
Yes, everyone believed it.
But believing in their hearts didn't mean they would openly acknowledge it!
"What if you made this up to frame Clear Sky Douluo?"
Good, very good!
To find such a sharp angle!
Neuvillette and Focalors exchanged a glance and shook their heads, deciding to end this farce.
"My dear Great Inquisitor, will you do it, or shall I?"
Neuvillette: "..."
After a brief consideration, Neuvillette took the recording device, also known as a camera, from Focalors' hand.
"I'll do it."
"Alright, dear."
Neuvillette skillfully operated the camera after taking it.
Once a large pile of photos was printed, he walked to the center of the stage.
"Everyone, my name is Neuvillette, the God of Judgment..."
