Qian Renxue's expression turned serious, and her voice deepened.
"Dongfang Jing, you must keep what I'm about to tell you a secret."
Dongfang Jing nodded.
"My original plan was to disguise myself as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe in the Heaven Dou royal family, and then slowly poison Xue Ye with a slow-acting, multi-component poison. After that, I would naturally pass on the throne as the Crown Prince, take over Heaven Dou at the lowest cost, and bring the Heaven Dou Empire into the territory of the Spirit Hall."
"The whole process will be slow, possibly taking more than twenty years. But it is stable and will not cause too much turmoil."
Dongfang Jing listened and understood, nodding and saying, "Bibi Dong's momentum is getting stronger and stronger. Currently, there are three sects and the empire that are resisting her. Once I get rid of Lan Ba and Haotian, it will only fuel Bibi Dong's arrogance."
Qian Renxue bit her lip.
"That's it. I'm willing to agree to your cooperation, but you already know my situation. So, I need your help to ensure that my plans in Tiandou don't go wrong. After it's done, whether you want to create an organization or eliminate a sect, I will help you without reservation."
"Did you know? Bibi Dong... actually had this planned all along!"
Qian Daoliu then interjected, speaking on behalf of his granddaughter: "Operation Soul Hunt."
"The core objective is to eradicate the three upper clans and all other forces opposing the Spirit Hall, and to dominate the Spirit Master world!"
"We will hunt down high-age soul beasts on a large scale, and collect all their soul bones and soul rings into the Spirit Hall to arm the Spirit Hall's core combat force and pave the way for the establishment of the Spirit Empire."
"This was a plan she proposed after she became Pope, but it was suppressed by the Elders' Hall at the time."
Dongfang Jing's brows furrowed tightly.
Qian Renxue added from the side, "Some of the Spirit Hall's branches in various places have already begun small-scale preparations under her instruction."
"There's one more thing." Qian Daoliu's gaze became extremely solemn. "Even Xiaoxue didn't know about this before."
Qian Renxue's body tensed slightly, and she cast a questioning look at her grandfather.
Qian Daoliu took a deep breath and said, "Bibi Dong... also received the inheritance of a deity at a very early age."
"What?!" Qian Renxue stood up abruptly, her golden eyes filled with shock. "Grandpa! What did you say? She also has a divine inheritance?!"
Qian Daoliu nodded heavily.
"It is the legacy of a god called Rakshasa."
Qian Renxue's face turned pale. She understood a little. Her grandfather had clearly reached the pinnacle of the continent and often disapproved of Bibi Dong's actions, yet he dared not touch her.
There are many complex reasons for this.
For example, Grandpa didn't want to be without a mother, or deep down, he also wanted the Spirit Hall to become even more powerful.
However, Bibi Dong's receipt of the Rakshasa God's inheritance must also be an important factor.
'Once that woman completes the Rakshasa God's inheritance and becomes the Rakshasa God...'
Qian Renxue then looked up at Dongfang Jing, wanting to see his reaction.
Dongfang Jing merely raised an eyebrow, his expression calm as if he had heard something insignificant.
However, Qian Renxue keenly caught the fleeting, chilling killing intent in Dongfang Jing's eyes!
She was somewhat confused and pondered the boy's thoughts to herself.
Qian Daoliu was also somewhat surprised.
He had originally thought that the news of the Rakshasa God would at least cause some reaction on this young man's face.
After all, this is related to the foundation of their cooperation. If Bibi Dong really becomes the Rakshasa God, the entire situation will be overturned.
But Dongfang Jing's reaction was as if the Rakshasa God posed no threat to him at all.
Qian Daoliu became even more curious.
"Young man, we've already shown you a lot of our cards." Qian Daoliu looked directly at Dongfang Jing. "Shouldn't you also reveal some information? Since we're going to cooperate, we're allies. And allies can't just be honest with one side."
Dongfang Jing thought about it and felt that Qian Daoliu's words made sense.
To gain someone's trust, you have to show some sincerity.
"Alright." Dongfang Jing nodded. "Then I'll say a few words."
He sat up straight and looked at Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue in front of him.
"I've told you before that I want to build an organization. The purpose of this organization is not to fight for power and profit."
"What is that?" Qian Renxue asked.
"Fight against evil spirit masters."
Upon hearing this unfamiliar term, Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance, neither quite understanding.
"An evil spirit master?" Qian Renxue asked, "What is that?"
Qian Daoliu guessed, "You're probably referring to Fallen Soul Masters, right? In those dark places on the continent, there are people like that everywhere. These people have no bottom line and like to harm innocent people. They are indeed a problem."
"I remember a place called the Killing City, where all the depraved were imprisoned."
"The Spirit Hall also established a Holy Knight Legion specifically to counter them."
Qian Daoliu thought for a moment and said, "But isn't it a bit of an overreaction to create an entire organization just to deal with these people?"
"Evil Soul Masters are an upgraded version of Fallen Soul Masters," Dongfang Jing explained. "They are not just simply evil, but have developed their own organizations and beliefs. They use cruel methods to torture living people for cultivation, capture people to refine their souls, use blood for medicine, and use bones to make weapons. Moreover, with the same amount of soul power, Evil Soul Masters are much more powerful than ordinary Soul Masters."
Qian Renxue frowned as she listened.
Are any of the people you mentioned still in mainland China?
Dongfang Jing looked at the Qian family grandfather and grandson and asked, "Do you know about the Sun and Moon Continent?"
Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue were stunned again.
"Sun and Moon Continent?" Qian Daoliu tried hard to search his memory, but found no information about it.
"To the west of our Douluo Continent, beyond the endless ocean, lies a land called the Sun and Moon Continent." Dongfang Jing's tone was very certain. "About ten thousand years from now, the two continents will collide due to plate tectonics. People from foreign lands will set foot on our homeland, and at that time, war will be inevitable."
"The evil spirit masters I just mentioned originated from the Sun and Moon Continent. They are even more rampant there. They have established a huge force called the Holy Spirit Cult, and even the empire there has actively colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult."
Upon hearing these words, Qian Daoliu's expression visibly changed.
"Indeed. On the other hand, the two great empires of Tiandou and Xingluo are still fighting each other, and the three upper sects each have their own agendas. In this situation, we are like a disorganized mess," Qian Renxue said thoughtfully.
"That's precisely why the Spirit Hall needs to unify the continent and concentrate its power! Wouldn't that solve the problem?"
Qian Renxue's eyes were deep, and her resolve grew even stronger.
But then she cast a questioning look at Dongfang Jing and asked, "But you said this is something that will happen ten thousand years from now. How could you possibly know what will happen ten thousand years from now?"
