Ye Yang also didn't expect that his cooperation with Bibi Dong would go so smoothly.
The female Pope, who should have been noble, proud, and cold, treated him with exceptional generosity, politeness, and respect.
Similarly, after setting the goal of becoming the Beast God, Ye Yang's future was destined not to be peaceful.
He also needed powerful and reliable allies.
At present, Bibi Dong seemed to fit his requirements.
"This is my Pope's token. I hope you can make use of it in critical moments."
Bibi Dong was in a hurry.
Hunting for soul rings and other matters had taken up a lot of her time, so she had to leave.
At the parting moment, she handed a brand-new golden token to Ye Yang.
This token was the highest-level token of the Martial Soul Hall, with only Bibi Dong's profile on it.
Though it was simply carved from a special metal, it vividly portrayed Bibi Dong's icy beauty.
"Carry this leaf with you. You can contact me anytime."
Ye Yang plucked a leaf and handed it to Bibi Dong.
After she held it, the leaf shrank and turned into a bracelet, resting on her fair wrist.
This leaf was alive. Although it wasn't Ye Yang's avatar, it could establish a connection with him when soul power was activated.
After a moment of contemplation, Bibi Dong said, "How about three months later?"
"Or, let's agree to meet every three months."
"I'll hunt for soul rings, like the Man-faced Demon Spider and the Abyssal Magic Spider. Together, no matter how cunning they are, they won't escape."
"By then, I'll take the soul rings, and you can devour their flesh using your spider legs, which should further enhance your strength!"
Ye Yang nodded, feeling that the plan was feasible.
However, their cooperation after that wasn't as smooth.
A whole two years passed!
Their joint efforts to hunt the Man-faced Demon Spider King and the Abyssal Magic Spider King ended in failure!
Not because they let them escape, but because they couldn't find them at all!
It seemed that these soul beasts had disappeared into the Star Dou Forest.
During these six months, Bibi Dong had firmly established her position as the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall.
With the second Martial Spirit, she had four soul rings remaining.
Even the soul beasts with over ninety thousand years of cultivation didn't interest her.
She wanted soul rings of one hundred thousand years!
On the other hand, both of them made significant progress in their cultivation.
When Ye Yang unleashed the Eight Spider Lances and Bibi Dong used her Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul True Body and activated her right arm soul bone, they established a close connection, leading to a significant transformation in their soul bones and soul power.
In particular, when Bibi Dong activated her head soul bone, Ye Yang's spiritual power doubled in speed.
Over the two years, Ye Yang felt that he could break through one hundred thousand years of cultivation in the Eight Spider Lances with his own efforts!
His spiritual power had also increased by 800 points!
Meeting every three months allowed them to gain 100 points in just three days of dual cultivation.
The evolution points had also increased by over ten points.
However, reaching the 99th level of bloodline still had a long way to go and became increasingly difficult.
But in terms of soul power, among the several soul bones, he had accumulated nearly one hundred thousand years!
During these two years, Ye Yang didn't hunt many soul beasts.
"Our cooperation can come to an end for now."
"During these two years, you don't need to come to the Star Dou Forest anymore."
"There's a place more suitable for you."
Ye Yang shifted his gaze from the full moon back to Bibi Dong and smiled.
It was another Mid-Autumn Festival night. Ye Yang had been in the Douluo Continent for exactly four and a half years.
It had been four years since he had ruthlessly beaten Tang Hao, and Tang San was now three years old.
During these two years, Ye Yang and Bibi Dong had evolved from being partners to becoming good friends.
Ye Yang didn't hide any secrets from Bibi Dong.
"Where is it?"
Bibi Dong asked curiously.
"The City of Slaughter!"
"The inheritance place of the Asura God King. As long as you obtain the title of the God of Slaughter, you can obtain the Slaughter Domain."
Ye Yang looked at Bibi Dong and said seriously:
"This domain has some restraint on your soon-to-be-formed Asura Domain. But if you think about it the other way around, it can also sharpen your Asura Domain and make it stronger."
"The most important thing is that in the future, when facing the Asura God King, his domain will have little influence on you."
Bibi Dong nodded.
"Yes, that's where we, the Martial Soul Hall, exile all kinds of evil soul masters."
"Of course, there are also many people who voluntarily hide in there. We should indeed clean it up."
Ye Yang was stunned, then suddenly remembered.
The City of Slaughter was not a secret to the Martial Soul Hall.
In the current continent, there wasn't yet a powerful organization of evil soul masters because of the Martial Soul Hall's suppression, killing, and exile.
Afterward, when the Martial Soul Hall was destroyed by Tang San, the evil soul masters rose rapidly.
After ten thousand years, they became a terrifying behemoth!
But the once powerful Tang Sect now only had a lone little girl as its Sect Master.
This was undeniably a joke.
"Well then, I wish you success!" Ye Yang extended his hand and smiled.
"Thank you!" Bibi Dong also smiled and extended her hand.
With a clap, they exchanged a toast.
Bibi Dong then left.
As he watched her shapely figure depart, Ye Yang suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, by the way!"
"You must be careful; there might be a guy named Tang Hao in there."
"Of course, he won't use his real name, but there's a distinct scar on his cheek that I left."
A glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes as she revealed a cold smile.
"Tang Hao?"
"That guy from Haotian Clan, known as the world's top genius?"
"Thirty years old and became a Spirit Saint, breaking through to a Soul Douluo at thirty-five?"
"But while hunting for soul rings in the forest, he not only lost his older brother but was also left crippled and mentally deranged. So, it was you."
Bibi Dong looked at Ye Yang, shaking her head with amusement.
The information about Tang Hao was simple for the Martial Soul Hall to obtain.
"I heard that he disappeared on the day his son was born."
"Now, it's been exactly three years... so he went to the City of Slaughter."
Ye Yang hadn't heard the news behind this. He was somewhat surprised.
In the original story, Tang Hao had at least raised Tang San for a few years, but unexpectedly, after he changed the plot, Tang Hao left on the day Tang San was born.
He really was a great father.
But Ye Yang could also understand Tang Hao.
To break the psychological shadow left by Ye Yang, going to the City of Slaughter was indeed a good choice.
Either break the psychological shadow in repeated life-threatening crises and become stronger.
Or perish completely, dying without regrets.
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Ye."
Bibi Dong looked at Ye Yang and smiled.
"But in the face of Tang Hao, I still have some confidence."
Ye Yang thought about it, and indeed, the so-called world's top genius Tang Hao had always been somewhat overrated.
Becoming a Spirit Saint at thirty years old wasn't that extraordinary.
Of course, his attack power was indeed formidable.
However, it had only been two years since then, so it was unlikely that Tang Hao had broken through to the Title Douluo level.
Even if he did break through, it was highly unlikely he had obtained a hundred thousand-year soul ring.
In terms of cultivation and soul rings, Bibi Dong could completely overwhelm Tang Hao.
Of course, in the City of Slaughter, they couldn't use soul power.
But with the support of the two Spider Emperor Martial Souls and the hundred thousand-year soul ring and soul bone, Bibi Dong's physical body was also strong.
With Bibi Dong's vigilance, even facing Tang Hao, there shouldn't be too much danger.
After Bibi Dong left and made arrangements for the Martial Soul Hall, she headed for the City of Slaughter.
Ye Yang continued to work hard to improve his mental power and bloodline level...
Two more years passed in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
In a secluded mountain range, a torrent of blood and killing energy suddenly surged, shrouding the area.
One after another, birds and birds fell from the sky.
A ragged, muscular middle-aged man covered in scars roared to the heavens.
"Ah!"
"Ye Yang! I swear here that I, Tang Hao, will kill you!"
"Five years! Five years in the City of Slaughter!"
"Do you know how I've spent these five years?"
