Qian Renxue still held onto a sliver of hope, trying to emphasize the power of the Spirit Hall once more.
However, as soon as she spoke, Shui Wuya's face twisted into a mocking smile.
"The Pope? Bibi Dong?"
"Are you close with her? Do you think she would intervene for you?"
Shui Wuya's tone was mocking, not genuinely inquiring, and Qian Renxue's expression changed dramatically once again.
"Is he human or ghost? How could he know everything?!"
Qian Renxue thought to herself, her eyes filled with disbelief. She couldn't fathom how this man knew so much about her, even about her discord with Bibi Dong.
"Qian Renxue, this is my final warning. Behave, and you may live. If you continue to be stubborn, I'll have no choice but to send you on your way."
Shui Wuya had no intention of further entangling with Qian Renxue and issued his final warning.
Hearing this, Qian Renxue quickly fell silent, and her shocked expression soon faded. She realized that he wasn't joking; she might have already pushed him to his limit.
"The only solution now is to wait until other elders discover what's happening here. Only then can we deal with this man."
Beneath her calm exterior, a glimmer of determination flickered in Qian Renxue's eyes.
...
On the other side of the world, in Spirit City.
As the power of the Spirit Hall grew, Spirit City had become the largest city in the world.
The Spirit Hall's sacred temple, a beacon of faith, stood at the center of the city, attracting countless worshippers from all over the world.
However, today, the atmosphere in the sacred temple was particularly tense. Squads of armored soldiers surrounded the temple, weapons at the ready.
"Your Holiness, there is news from Tian Dou City that the Emperor Xue Ye is critically ill and may not last much longer."
Chrysanthemum Douluo, one of the Spirit Hall elders, kneeled in the center of the grand hall.
Seated on the papal throne was a stunning woman in a purple dress, none other than Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall.
"Is the information reliable?"
Bibi Dong gripped her scepter, her cold gaze sweeping over Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"Yes, Your Holiness, the information is absolutely reliable. Our agents in Tiab Dou City are fully prepared to ensure that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe ascends to the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire."
Chrysanthemum Douluo responded respectfully.
At that moment, a beautiful figure with short golden hair entered the sacred temple and approached Bibi Dong.
"Hu liena greets the Pope."
The newcomer was the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, Huleena. Upon reaching Bibi Dong, she knelt on one knee.
"Rise."
Bibi Dong's usual icy demeanor softened slightly at Huleena's arrival.
"How is your control over the Killing God Domain?"
Bibi Dong asked proactively.
"After training for some time, I can now control the Killing God Domain at will."
Hu liena nodded, but her thoughts drifted to Tang Yin. That man seemed to possess a strange charm that lingered in her mind.
In fact, Tang Yin's image had repeatedly surfaced in her mind recently, and she couldn't understand why.
Could this be love?
As she pondered, an unusual expression appeared on Hu Liena's face, which Bibi Dong quickly noticed.
"What happened?" Bibi Dong asked gently, assuming Hu Liena was troubled by something.
"Your Holiness, I was just reminded of Shui Bing'er from the Spirit Master Tournament years ago," Hu Liena replied with a tight expression. She dared not mention Tang Yin to Bibi Dong, knowing his affiliation with the Haotian Clan. In her panic, she used Shui Bing'er as a diversion.
"Shui Bing'er?" Bibi Dong's face showed a hint of surprise.
To her, the name Shui Bing'er was once famous a few years ago when the Tianshui Academy won the Spirit Master Tournament.
"Shui Bing'er disappeared two years ago. She had great potential, but it's a pity she couldn't be of use to our Spirit Hall," Bibi Dong said, shaking her head. She didn't pay much attention to Shui Bing'er, as the girl hadn't yet fully realized her potential.
More pressing to Bibi Dong were the three great sects and the two empires, compared to an unproven talent.
"Nana, take Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Devil Bear Douluo to the Star Dou Forest and eliminate the Titan Giant Ape and that wretched rabbit," Bibi Dong ordered, assigning Hu Liena a task to train her further. Originally, Bibi Dong intended to handle it herself but decided to let Hu Liena grow through this mission.
"Hu Liena accepts the order!" Hu Liena responded without hesitation.
"Your Holiness, what should we do about the Tian Dou Empire?" Chrysanthemum Douluo, who had been silent, suddenly asked.
"Notify Snake Spear Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo to monitor the Emperor Xue Ye continuously. When he breathes his last, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe will ascend to the throne," Bibi Dong said, her expression returning to the stern demeanor of an empress.
Half a day later, Hu Liena departed with Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Devil Bear Douluo. Though the Star Dou Forest was perilous, these three were formidable. Chrysanthemum Douluo, the strongest among them, was a level 95 spirit power. Ghost Douluo and Devil Bear Douluo were levels 94 and 93, respectively.
Simultaneously, another figure was speeding towards the Star Dou Forest.
"Xiao Wu, it's been two years. How have you been?"
In the midst of a dense forest, a figure in black moved swiftly. It was none other than Tang San, who had been absent from the mainland for a long time. As he neared the Star Dou Forest, his anxiety grew, feeling as if something ominous was about to occur.
At the same time, deep within the Star Dou Forest, a massive hundred-meter beast sat beside a lake. Upon closer inspection, a delicate figure was perched atop the beast's head.
"Sister Xiao Wu, will Tang San really come for you?" The beast spoke with a deep breath that rustled the forest like a gentle breeze.
"He will come. He definitely will," the girl said, leaning back with a pure, innocent smile on her face.
"My brother San will definitely come for me," she repeated to herself, memories of their romantic and heartwarming past flooding her mind.
