Bibi Dong left with a loud laugh, inwardly cursing Qian Renxue as an idiot for not harboring any suspicions toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Dugu Family.
In the conflicts that had swept the continent over the past two decades, even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, one of the Upper Three Sects, had been destroyed. Yet the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Dugu Family stood firm, not only suffering no losses but even growing significantly stronger.
And Qian Renxue, stationed in the Heaven Dou Empire, had indirectly aided them.
Bibi Dong wished she could slap Qian Renxue.
Fuming, she returned to the Pope Palace and discovered that Hu Liena had already dealt with the Spirit Beast Riot in Death Canyon.
She had dispatched three Titled Douluo, led by Chrysanthemum Douluo, along with a Soul Master Legion of five thousand Soul Masters, to forcefully suppress the spirit beast rebellion in Death Canyon.
"Nana did well. This is the best possible way to handle it!"
Bibi Dong praised inwardly.
But what about the Eighth Soul Ring and the Ninth Soul Ring?
Bibi Dong then recalled the latest news circulating on the continent: a 100,000-Year Soul Beast had transformed into human form, and its current strength was not high, making it easy to hunt.
The last time a spirit beast transformed into human form was that Blue Silver Emperor.
What about this time?
"The more critical the moment, the more I must not act rashly. The more they try to lure me out of Spirit City, the more I must not fall for it.
Perhaps I can wait a little longer for the last two Soul Rings.
The last time a spirit beast transformed into human form, it triggered a great war between Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect, altering the continent's situation.
This time, with another such appearance, someone must be trying to stir up trouble. I want to see who it is!
Ah, Qiandao Liu, can you still sleep peacefully now? Your granddaughter is surrounded by Evil Soul Masters!
Let the grandfather and granddaughter duo test the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Dugu Family first!"
A gleam of wisdom flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.
When she first became the Pope of Spirit Hall, her strength was still weak, yet she managed to secure her position and gradually seize power step by step.
Her methods were unquestionable!
However, after her strength grew, Bibi Dong believed that no one on the entire continent was her match.
She disdained resorting to schemes, preferring to launch the Soul Hunting Operation to crush all opponents.
But when it came to conspiracies and tricks, who could surpass her? She was so ruthless that she even used her own daughter.
Bibi Dong snorted coldly, eagerly anticipating Qiandao Liu's next move.
In front of the Hall of Worship.
After Bibi Dong left, Qiandao Liu stood there in a daze for a long time, motionless.
He was not a man skilled in scheming.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been foolish enough not to think of having his granddaughter attempt the Angel God's inheritance.
The Angel God, his granddaughter possessing the Six-Winged Angel Spirit, and innate full spirit power of twenty levels.
Even with all this, he hadn't considered letting his granddaughter inherit the Godhood.
Perhaps he had been worn down by Tang Chen, coupled with his inherently somewhat cowardly nature, making him appear too passive, as if everything was left to fate.
But now, after Bibi Dong's reminder.
Qiandao Liu's expression shifted uncertainly as he pondered.
Where did this Evil Soul Master come from?
Despite his extensive investigations across the continent, he had found no trace of their existence.
At the time, he had simply assumed the Evil Soul Master was exceptionally well-hidden.
But now, thinking back, was it possible they originated from a major power?
True seclusion lies within the bustling world; in such circumstances, not only are information channels highly accessible, but ordinary people would never think of it.
Following this line of reasoning, only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Dugu Family fit the bill.
After all, the Clear Sky Sect had suffered significant losses.
As for the other Lower Four Sects, such as the Star Luo Zhu Family and the Black Tiger Sect, Qiandao Liu did not look down on them, but he had personally visited each one last time.
It was absolutely impossible for them to be involved.
After careful consideration, Qiandao Liu immediately sent a voice transmission to the Hall of Worship.
In an instant, an elderly man with white hair and beard, dressed in a golden robe embroidered with silver, appeared before Qiandao Liu.
"Jin E, go to Heaven Dou City and remind Xue'er and Qingluan to be cautious of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Dugu Family. The hidden Evil Soul Master may very well come from them.
Perhaps Xue'er's identity has already been exposed!" Qiandao Liu said coldly.
The elderly man who had just appeared was the Second Worship of the Hall of Worship, a ninety-eight-level Titled Douluo, second only to Qiandao Liu in strength.
Upon hearing Qiandao Liu's words, he was greatly shocked. "Could it be that they have been deceiving the young lady all along? But the young lady's identity is disguised using a Soul Bone Skill—how could it possibly be exposed?"
Recently, the Hall of Worship had been filled with joy, as Qian Renxue had unified the continent, demonstrating the bearing of an emperor.
This sudden revelation of her identity left Golden Crocodile Douluo utterly astonished.
"For now, it is only speculation. This Evil Soul Master knows far too much; he has been involved in every major event on the continent over the past decade or so.
If he knows Xue'er's identity, it wouldn't be surprising," Qiandao Liu said calmly.
From the initial shock and even panic, Qiandao Liu had now regained his composure.
Even if the other party knew Xue'er's identity, what could they do? Since they dared not expose it, it meant they harbored reservations or did not see Xue'er as an enemy.
What needed to be done now was to take precautions.
Golden Crocodile Douluo quickly grasped the underlying meaning. He cupped his hands and said, "I will head to Heaven Dou City immediately. Anyone who dares to harm the young lady will learn the true strength of the Hall of Worship from Qingluan and me!"
Qiandao Liu nodded and said nothing more. Regardless of whether the other party knew Qian Renxue's identity, at the very least, they had not acted against her. For now, he had no intention of alerting the enemy.
However, necessary precautions had to be taken. Then, Xue'er could observe discreetly to uncover the identity of this Evil Soul Master—that was the right course of action.
Golden Crocodile Douluo transformed into a streak of light and flew toward Heaven Dou City in the Heaven Dou Empire.
The front of the Hall of Worship returned to silence once more, and Qiandao Liu resumed his vacant gaze at the Angel Statue in the square.
Heaven Dou City.
Dugu Feng, accompanied by Ning Rongrong, arrived at the imperial palace dressed in their finest attire.
The man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful.
They resembled a divine couple.
Even the strictly disciplined imperial guards couldn't help but steal a few glances.
Ning Rongrong whispered softly, "Brother Feng, why are you bringing me to see Brother Xue this time?"
Dugu Feng smiled and replied, "Your Brother Xue is no longer the same as before. He is now the continent's sole emperor, a ruler for the ages.
Given our relationship with the royal family, it is only right for us to visit Brother Xue!
Moreover, you have just returned from Poseidon Island, so it is appropriate to pay a visit!"
Ning Rongrong pouted, somewhat unconvinced.
If it were merely about maintaining relations, Dugu Feng could have come alone. Why bring her along?
But the clever Ning Rongrong did not dwell on it.
Every step Dugu Feng took had a purpose. If he brought her, there must be a reason for her presence.
Ning Rongrong was also willing to cooperate with Dugu Feng.
The two of them proceeded smoothly and arrived at a garden pavilion.
Qian Renxue was already waiting for them there.
Dressed in white, graceful and poised, she stood at the entrance of the pavilion, smiling as she watched Dugu Feng and Rongrong approach.
"Rongrong, it's been years since we last met, and you've grown even more beautiful. Standing beside Feng Xiongdi, you truly make a perfect couple—how enviable!"
With a playful tone, Qian Renxue welcomed them inside.
