Chapter 304: The Unkillable Bi Bi Dong, and Two More Shura God Inheritors

Three days have passed since Ning Rongrong absorbed the Soul Ring of Zi Ji; now she is seated in a secret chamber, with a nine‑colored treasure tower glowing brilliantly before her, nine Soul Rings—two yellow, two purple, two black, three red—circling her body, and her soul power level has astonishingly reached the terrifying level 94.

Zi Ji's true form is a hellish demon dragon, whose cultivation is nearly three hundred thousand years; after a complete sacrifice, all her energy and soul bone gave Ning Rongrong a massive boost.

Besides her soul power reaching level 94, Ning Rongrong's physical quality also received a terrifying upgrade—nearly three hundred thousand‑level skeletal structure, which brought her countless benefits.

When Ning Rongrong slowly opened her eyes, her aura erupted completely, and the nine‑colored tower before her burst into dazzling light.

As Ning Rongrong gradually steadied her breath, the Soul Rings on her body vanished and the tower retracted; her eyes filled with excitement and joy, and she couldn't help but want to find someone to share this happiness with.

But when she left the secret chamber to look for Gu Xuan, she was told that Gu Xuan had entered a three‑day seclusion for cultivation; she suppressed her excitement, went alone to Star Moon Lake to enjoy the scenery, and waited for Gu Xuan to emerge.

Unlike the tranquility inside the Star Dou Great Forest, the Clear Sky Sect had almost turned to ruins; its five elders were dead, leaving only a few soul bones, and those soul bones were swiftly snatched away by the quick‑handed Gu Rong.

With the five Titled Douluo elders dead, over two thousand Soul Saints of the Clear Sky Sect were essentially wiped out, leaving barely a hundred survivors who could still stand.

Moreover, most of those hundred‑plus survivors are Soul Saints, all over forty years old.

Because under Bi Bi Dong's unrestrained assault and the barrage of dozens of Titled Douluo, the strongest cultivators at the front fell first, and the rest of the cultivators were killed before they could resist.

Only those Soul Saints and a few Soul Emperors in the middle tier barely survived, but the Clear Sky Sect is now effectively extinct.

Although Sect Leader Tang Xiao is a 97‑level Super Douluo, he cared nothing for his own wear in this great battle; now he is at the end of his strength.

Even if he survives, his future is likely only a short time left.

And just as Tang Xiao halted his reckless outburst, the many Titled Douluo were surprised to discover that Bi Bi Dong, who had been reduced to powder by their terrifying attack, was strangely beginning to recover! Ning Fengzhi had arrived at the place where Bi Bi Dong died, and he realized how a powerhouse of her caliber could possibly have no soul bone.

Yet at the spot where Bi Bi Dong died, no soul bone had fallen at all; instead, countless fine purple streams of light converged, as if in the process of restoration.

Ning Fengzhi acted decisively and shouted to Gu Rong, "Uncle Gu, Bi Bi Dong must possess some secret method that can revive her; perhaps it's the effect of the ten‑thousand‑year soul skill she just used. Seal this place now; if she can be revived, she won't be at her prime. Bring her back to the Empire and let His Majesty deal with her."

Ning Fengzhi knew that Bi Bi Dong was not only the former Pope of the Spirit Hall and a Rakshasa God inheritor, but also had a special identity: she is the mother of Qian Renxue, Gu Xuan's seventh wife.

Since Bi Bi Dong did not die amid the siege of the many Titled Douluo, Ning Fengzhi thought she could be taken back for Gu Xuan to decide.

After all, Qian Renxue is now at a pivotal moment inheriting the Angel deity; she may achieve godhood before Gu Xuan does.

Therefore, since Bi Bi Dong is Qian Renxue's mother, her life or death should be decided by Gu Xuan.

Gu Rong nodded; now restored to human form, he raised his hand and wielded terrifying spatial power, which instantly sealed off the area completely, instantly transporting Sect Leader Tang Xiao, who was at Bi Bi Dong's revival spot, to the side so he had no chance to react.

Gu Rong's move also left Guangling Douluo and the others astonished.

As Titled Douluo, they had only a superficial understanding of spatial power, but Gu Rong's maneuver truly shocked the world; he indeed deserved the reputation of a master who commands spatial power.

The titles "most bizarre" and "strongest defense" truly are not empty boasts.

Ning Fengzhi turned to the increasingly weary Tang Xiao, stood five meters in front of him, and whispered, "Sect Leader Tang, I did not wish to see this battle, but now that it's come to this, further words are useless. If the Clear Sky Sect is willing to submit to the Empire, the Empire can help Sect Leader Tang rebuild the Clear Sky Sect."

Hearing Ning Fengzhi, Tang Xiao looked up at him, his eyes unable to reveal whether they held hatred or remorse.

After a long pause, Tang Xiao glanced at the Clear Sky Sect disciples, now gathered to just over a hundred, and his whole demeanor was like a deflated rubber ball; his hoarse voice said, "Very well, I trouble you, Sect Master Ning…"

Having spoken, Tang Xiao's body fell backward as if his soul had left him, emitting a muffled thud.

"Sect Leader!" several Clear Sky Sect Soul Saints rushed to Tang Xiao's front, shouting hoarsely.

Ning Fengzhi immediately turned to the others of the Clear Sky Sect, speaking coldly: "Considering that the Clear Sky Sect members were exploited by Bi Bi Dong and forced to resist under her control, now that the rebels have been suppressed, Sect Leader Tang, for his merit in capturing the rebels, the Clear Sky Sect shall atone and be rewarded. To help rebuild the Sect's home, the Empire will allocate three million—logistics, ten thousand tons of grain…"

Listening to Ning Fengzhi, the remaining hundred‑plus members of the Clear Sky Sect were unsure whether to resent the Sun‑Moon Empire or to thank it.

Only that their hearts now harbored extreme hatred toward Bi Bi Dong, yet they had nowhere to vent it.

What no one knew was that they had missed something—seemingly present, yet they could not grasp it.

At this point the army had regrouped; because of Bi Bi Dong's final eruption, the Sun‑Moon Empire's five thousand Soul Masters suffered nearly a thousand casualties, a considerable loss.

Fortunately, Ning Fengzhi's thoroughness ensured that everyone who participated in the suppression of the rebels received rewards, and the bravely fallen Soul Masters were further honored.

At this time, the Left Wing and Ghost Leopard also returned; no one escaped from outside the Clear Sky Sect. They had searched the perimeter for nearly a hundred li, not sparing even a single bird.

Ning Fengzhi was puzzled by this answer, because ever since the Sword Bone Douluo led men to annihilate Tang Hao, the prodigy Tang San, who possessed a dual martial soul, had been missing.

Originally Ning Fengzhi thought Tang San had returned to the Clear Sky Sect, but now it appears the Sect has no trace of him.

He seemed to have vanished; even within the Empire, Ning Fengzhi dispatched the Zodiac Hall to search for Tang San's trail, but found no clue.

Now the only possibility is that the Clear Sky Sect also has none; could Tang San already be dead?

It's not that Ning Fengzhi coveted Tang San; rather, Tang San, being a dual martial soul holder, was a standout talent in the Soul Master Tournament, and keeping such a person would inevitably become a thorn in the future.

Of course, the most important thing for Ning Fengzhi was to discover where Tang San's hidden weapons originated.

When the Xingluo Empire was eradicated, a large batch of powerful hidden weapons from the Tang Sect emerged; if the Tian Dou Empire's troops had not been led by Titled Douluo, they might have suffered a huge loss.

Ning Fengzhi also learned from Lou Gao that after Lou Gao forged the required hidden weapons for Ning Fengzhi and returned to Geng Xin City, he was later recruited by Dai Mubai's men to the Xingluo Empire.

The reason Lou Gao could be hired as the exclusive forge master for the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect was because the hidden weapons came from Tang San's hand.

Items such as the Stormy Rain Pear Blossom Needle and Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus have not yet been forged, but their power is already foreseeable. However, when Gu Xuan captured the Xingluo Empire, there was no trace of Tang San; Lou Gao was solely focused on forging and knew nothing else, so the matter was left unresolved.

Now Tang San remains missing, which makes Ning Fengzhi very curious.

Fortunately this is the Clear Sky Sect; although Ning Fengzhi directly summoned the sole surviving Soul Douluo of the Sect for questioning, this Soul Douluo, though severely wounded, was not near death. Faced with Ning Fengzhi's questions, he did not wish to answer, but under pressure he said whatever he could.

After asking his lingering doubts, Ning Fengzhi understood why Tang San had vanished.

This Soul Douluo, a high‑ranking member of the Clear Sky Sect, knew many details; for instance, when Bi Bi Dong arrived, she brought three people: her direct disciple Hu Liena, the Xingluo Empire's only escaped fish Dai Mubai, and Tang San.

Recently, Bi Bi Dong went out to sea to hunt Soul Rings, taking the three away, and when she returned, the three did not come back.

Earlier, Tang Xiao had questioned Bi Bi Dong why she didn't bring Tang San back, since Tang San, with his dual martial soul, was a future weapon against the Sun‑Moon Empire and crucial to the Clear Sky Sect's future.

Bi Bi Dong's explanation was simple: Tang San and Hu Liena went to train together, but she did not say where they trained.

Of course, it's possible the Soul Douluo didn't know; after all, even as a senior, he couldn't be told everything.

Thus they must wait until Tang Xiao awakens to ask him.

And right after Ning Fengzhi finished his questions, the Bi Bi Dong sealed by Gu Rong truly revived, but to everyone's surprise, she revived in her physical body…

Fortunately, Gu Rong's quick eyes and hands swiftly erected a vague spatial barrier, blocking the view.

Bi Bi Dong, though deserving ten‑thousand deaths, is still a woman; they have not become that perverse yet.

However, all surrounding were Titled Douluo; even in an instant they had already taken in Bi Bi Dong's physical form with their eyes.

Some even sighed inwardly, "No wonder she was a former Pope; what a figure, what beauty…"

But no one bothered to give it another glance; after all, they were all concerned about saving face.

No names.

Ning Fengzhi still didn't realize what kind of "beautiful sight" he had missed. Upon hearing that Bi Bi Dong had revived, he went to the spatial barrier where she was imprisoned and said coolly, "Bi Bi Dong, your sins are too many. Since you have already been executed today, I hope you won't make any further pointless resistance; otherwise you won't even have the life to return and face His Majesty's judgment."

Names: Ning Fengzhi, Bi Bi Dong, Your Majesty. Also maybe "spatial barrier" is not a name. "Executed" is not a name.

Whether Bi Bi Dong had heard him or not, Ning Fengzhi turned to Gu Rong and said, "Uncle Gu, there's no issue with imprisoning her, right?"

Names: Bi Bi Dong, Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong. Also "Gu Shu" is a nickname for Gu Rong? Actually "Gu Shu" is a nickname meaning "Uncle Bone". It's a form of address for Gu Rong. Should we include "Gu Shu"? It's a generic form of address (not a rank). The instruction says exclude generic forms of address (not ranks). So we exclude "Gu Shu". Also "she" refers to Bi Bi Dong, not a name.

Gu Rong nodded and said, "Although Bi Bi Dong has revived, her qi and blood are weakened right now, and being sealed by my spatial imprisonment gives her no place to recover her soul power; even if she had heavenly abilities, she is now nothing more than a lamb awaiting slaughter."

Names: Gu Rong, Bi Bi Dong, Soul Power. Also "spatial imprisonment" is not a name. "Heavenly ability" is not a name.

Ning Fengzhi nodded, then began issuing orders one after another; the whole army subsequently returned, and he announced that the campaign was over.

Names: Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong did not follow the main army back; instead, they waited at the Clear Sky Sect for Tang Xiao to awaken.

Names: Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao.

Three days later, after treatment, Tang Xiao slowly woke up. Though he had calmed down, the bloodshot in his eyes revealed how heavy his heart was.

Names: Tang Xiao.

The Clear Sky Sect, which ought to have thrived under his guidance, has instead been ruined by his hand.

Names: Clear Sky Sect.

The few hundred survivors remain the sole basis of the Clear Sky Sect, yet its reputation has completely disappeared.

Names: Clear Sky Sect.

Ning Fengzhi comforted Tang Xiao for a while; although Tang Xiao didn't feel any particular affection for Ning Fengzhi, he also bore no grudge, since Ning Fengzhi could have easily wiped out the Clear Sky Sect but instead chose to spare their hundred-odd members, keeping their lineage alive.

Names: Ning Fengzhi, Tang Xiao, Clear Sky Sect.

Moreover, Ning Fengzhi's motive for acting was also that the five elders of the Clear Sky Sect, who were under Bi Bi Dong's control, had taken action; consequently, all resentment was directed toward Bi Bi Dong.

Names: Ning Fengzhi, Clear Sky Sect, Bi Bi Dong, Elder. "Elder" is a rank? "Elder" is a title. Should we include? It's an official/sect rank. The instruction says include official & sect rank/title. So we should include "Elder". However we need to see if it's a proper noun? It's a generic rank but still a title. The instruction says exclude generic forms of address (not ranks). So we include "Elder".

Ning Fengzhi stayed not only to comfort Tang Xiao, but primarily to locate Tang San.

Names: Ning Fengzhi, Tang Xiao, Tang San.

Facing Ning Fengzhi's inquiry, Tang Xiao's eyes flashed briefly, then he shook his head, closed his his eyes and said: "I don't know. Back then, Bi Bi Dong returned alone, saying that Xiao San, Hu Liena, and Dai Mubai had gone out for training. I had my doubts then, but now it seems Xiao San may have already met with misfortune......"

Seeing that he could not learn Tang San's whereabouts from Tang Xiao, Ning Fengzhi did not linger any longer and left together with the Sword Bone Douluo.

On the way, Gu Rong snorted coldly: "Tang Xiao is clearly unwilling to reveal Tang San's whereabouts; it seems Xuan'er's kindness is not worth it in some people's eyes."

Ning Fengzhi gave a bitter smile and shook his head: "Gu Shu, forget it. Although Tang San has twin martial souls, with Xiao Xuan's current strength he can't make any waves, let alone with Rong Rong and Xue'er here."

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Gu Rong finally did not bring up the matter again; only Chen Xin beside him sighed: "What a pity, those weapon manufacturing methods on that kid."

Ning Fengzhi also shook his head upon hearing that: "Indeed a pity, but there's no need to worry too much. The Soul Tool concept Xiao Xuan proposed earlier was highly advanced and pioneering; perhaps the future will be an era where Soul Tools and Soul Masters combine."

"Although Tang San's weapons are not bad, they still fall short compared to the Soul Tool Xiao Xuan spoke of. Since our search has come up empty, let's leave it at that for now. What's most important now is how Bi Bi Dong will handle things."

Saying this, Ning Fengzhi looked toward the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest: "I wonder if Xiao Xuan has returned."

In private, Gu Xuan is still seen by the three as a beloved grandson and good son; only in public do they address him as His Majesty Gu Xuan, while in private they still use the former title.

Of course, this is only when the three of them are alone, after all, as the eternal emperor of the Douluo Continent, his dignity is inviolable.

In the news Ning Fengzhi received, Tang San and Hu Liena, who had gone out for training, are now inside the Slaughter City. After returning from hunting Soul Rings, they both received a divine trial from the Shura God King, which filled them with immense joy.

They had been as despised as street rats, yet they were actually chosen by the gods? Isn't this the opportunity heaven gave them? So after hunting Soul Rings and returning, they rushed straight to the Slaughter City to begin the Shura God King's trial, while Dai Mubai, having lost his family and home, was filled with hatred throughout his body and embarked on his own slaughter journey.

After all, Tang San and Hu Liena have received divine inheritance, and the key is that they walked the Hell Road of the Slaughter City and obtained the Slaughter God Domain, which is why Dai Mubai also wants to copy their path.

But their path is not necessarily a road to success; it could also be a road of no return......
