In the desolate valley outside Hell Road, the air seemed to freeze.
Ling Ye never expected that the first person he would see after leaving the City of Slaughter would be Bibi Dong!
She was still wearing that magnificent purple papal robe, her figure still graceful and upright, but upon closer inspection, one could notice some subtle differences.
Her face seemed paler than before, not from injury, but rather from a subtle fragility.
Especially when she stood there, with the mountain wind blowing her robes, Ling Ye keenly noticed that her originally flat and slender waist and abdomen seemed to have a slightly unnatural bulge.
Although cleverly concealed by the loose robe, Ling Ye's sharp eyes still managed to catch that trace.
If you count the time, and you really did get pregnant after that night, you should be showing some signs of pregnancy by now.
An absurd yet heart-pounding thought popped into his head uncontrollably.
Could it be... that she's really pregnant?
And judging from the looks of it, she didn't choose to have an abortion?
Are they hyped up?
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Ling Ye's mind: shock, astonishment, and even a strange sense of accomplishment.
Bibi Dong's feelings at this moment were extremely complicated.
She stared intently at the young man who had walked out of Hell Road, her beautiful eyes filled with a frenzied mix of murderous intent, anger, humiliation, and a flicker of emotion that even she herself couldn't comprehend.
That's him! There's no mistake!
Although his temperament was more reserved and profound, and he was surrounded by a strange aura that mixed holiness and slaughter, his strength also seemed to have increased dramatically.
But the sensation deep in her stomach and the subtle connection on a soul level that night instantly confirmed Ling Ye's identity!
This is the man who defiled her, left a shameful mark on her body, and may even have gotten her pregnant!
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong wished she could tear Ling Ye to pieces immediately!
But the little life within her seemed to sense her father's presence, and actually conveyed a hint of joy and excitement, causing her concentrated killing intent to falter for a moment.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, 'Messenger of Holy Light'." Bibi Dong's voice was icy cold, filled with endless hatred and a slight, almost imperceptible tremor. "Or rather… what should I call you? That cowardly, treacherous villain!"
Ling Ye quickly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, a playful smile appearing on his face. He even deliberately looked Bibi Dong up and down, his gaze lingering subtly on her abdomen for a moment.
"Oh? So it's His Holiness the Pope himself who has come to greet me. I'm truly flattered." Ling Ye's tone was relaxed, even a little flippant. "It seems His Holiness has gained some weight in the past few months? It looks like the food at the Spirit Hall is quite good."
These words pierced Bibi Dong's sore spot like a sharp knife!
"You're courting death!" Bibi Dong instantly flew into a rage, unleashing terrifying Rakshasa divine power. A purplish-black light blotted out the sky, and nine spirit rings rose instantly. The terrifying pressure of a Title Douluo crushed towards Ling Ye like a tsunami!
She raised her hand to crush the despicable man in front of her!
However, at the very moment her divine power erupted, Ling Ye also moved!
Not an attack, but a sacred killing domain, open!
Platinum-gold light suddenly spread out from him, forming a unique sacred area!
Within the domain, Bibi Dong's violent and evil Rakshasa divine power was greatly suppressed, and its power was greatly reduced!
At the same time, a powerful divine aura impacted her mind, causing her to pause slightly!
Although this domain could not truly suppress her with her peak Douluo strength, the intense holy purification aura and targeted mental intimidation still made her extremely uncomfortable, especially since the fetus in her womb seemed to be showing signs of discomfort.
In that split second of delay, Ling Ye's fifth spirit ring suddenly lit up.
That was a ten-thousand-year-old soul ring that had just been successfully formed and was radiating a chaotic light!
"Fifth Soul Skill, Holy Spirit's Lament!"
Ling Ye uttered a deep, soul-stirring syllable!
This is not a sound attack, but a pure shock to the spirit and soul!
Bibi Dong felt a buzzing in her head, as if her soul had been struck by a heavy hammer. Countless fragments of sad and painful memories surged up uncontrollably, causing her to lose her senses for a moment, and her condensed divine power almost collapsed!
Although she immediately managed to stabilize herself with her powerful mental strength, this was the opportunity Ling Ye wanted!
"Farewell, Your Majesty! Take care of yourself; perhaps we'll meet again soon!"
Ling Ye laughed loudly, and his Martial Soul body unfurled Holy Spirit Wings behind him and vanished in a flash. Combined with the speed boost from his new domain, he retreated rapidly as if by teleportation, instantly widening the distance by hundreds of meters.
Then, without hesitation, he turned around, transformed into a streak of light, and disappeared into the distant mountains and forests!
The entire process was lightning fast, from activating the domain to interfering with the soul skill and then escaping, all in one smooth motion!
By the time Bibi Dong had completely shaken off the influence of the Holy Spirit's Lament and was furiously trying to give chase, she had already lost all trace of Ling Ye!
"Ah!!!" Bibi Dong let out a scream of extreme anger, and the terrifying Rakshasa divine power destroyed all the surrounding rocks and vegetation!
She actually... let him get away again!
Even in a direct confrontation, he managed to leave calmly after interfering with them using strange methods!
What a disgrace! Absolutely a disgrace!
His last, pointed remark, "Take care of yourself," made her tremble with anger!
He definitely figured it out! That bastard!
She stroked her slightly protruding belly, feeling the little life inside that seemed somewhat lost because of her father's departure, her emotions were extremely complicated and chaotic.
The killing intent intensified, but the inexplicable connection and palpitations also deepened.
"Ling Ye... No matter where you flee to, I will catch you! I will tear you to pieces!" Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, her beautiful eyes flashing with cold light, and turned into a streak of purple-black light as she returned to the Spirit Hall.
She needs to rethink her strategy, using all her resources, even if it means turning the entire continent upside down, to find this man!
...
In the dense forest far from the killing city, Ling Ye stopped and breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that Bibi Dong was not chasing him.
Facing a furious peak Douluo, the pressure was still too great.
Fortunately, the newly acquired domain and fifth soul skill are exceptionally effective, especially the Holy Spirit's Lament, which has an unexpectedly good effect on mental interference.
He felt a surge of level 52 soul power within him, as well as the chaotic fifth soul ring, and his heart calmed down considerably.
Holy Spirit's Lament: A wide-range mental attack that evokes the deepest negative emotions within the enemy, causing mental confusion and soul tremors.
The power depends on the opponent's mental strength and the firmness of their will.
This is an extremely powerful control skill!
He withdrew his Holy Killing Domain, his demeanor becoming more reserved, but the depths of his eyes were more profound and majestic than ever before.
After resting for a while, he decided to inquire about information from the outside world.
This inquiry took him somewhat by surprise.
Rumors about the "Holy Light Messenger" have already spread, but what's even more outrageous is the increasingly rampant rumor about the "Holy Son of the Spirit Hall," with many people even believing it to be true and speculating about the identity of this suddenly appearing peerless genius.
The Spirit Hall's search efforts have reached an unprecedented level, targeting not only him but also seemingly all other spirit masters with the attribute of light life. This search was ordered personally by the Pope, and the attitude was extremely tough.
"It seems she's really in a hurry." Ling Ye stroked his chin, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Bibi Dong's reaction indirectly confirmed one of his guesses.
Hiding passively is not his style.
Since the Spirit Hall is so eager to find him, he should take the initiative to go to them.
However, a suitable opportunity and a springboard are needed.
With a thought, he sent a summons to Hu Liena in the distance through the spiritual imprint he had left behind.
It's time to use this pawn buried inside the Spirit Hall.
Perhaps we can get some interesting information from this little slave girl, or even an opportunity to infiltrate the Spirit Hall?
A dangerous yet wise light gleamed in Ling Ye's eyes.
It's time for him to take control of the chessboard.
