Chapter 392: After the Battle

Feihuang watched Chrysanthemum Douluo depart, and after putting away Guimei's soul bone, he cast the soul skill of the Dunjia Heavenly Book upon him.

Recovery (High)! This move is an ultimate technique comparable to the healing ability of a Nine-Ring Nine-Heart Begonia, only the range is not as large; as long as there is still a breath left, he can basically be saved.

Lan Xue and Long Gong walked to Feihuang's side and asked, "Huang'er, are we really just letting this Ghost go?"

"Mother, the only thing about Chrysanthemum and Ghost that makes people wary is the Two-Level Static Domain. As long as one of the two is controlled, this domain is rendered useless. Plus, this Ghost is not even a Title Douluo anymore, so he poses no threat. Furthermore, no matter how much Yue Guan fears death, he is still a Title Douluo and ultimately has a bit of backbone, and the only thing that can ignite his backbone is this Ghost," Feihuang explained.

He had noticed that the Douluo Continent he was in seemed to lean more towards an anime world, so this affection Yue Guan had for Ghost was truly incredibly deep; he would genuinely risk his life for him.

Yue Guan's surrender just now was certainly due in part to his own fear of death, but there was another more important factor: if he hadn't surrendered just now, Guimei would likely already be dead.

Emotion is a double-edged sword, and Feihuang could absolutely make use of this bond between the two.

Before long, Guimei woke up from his coma; his severed limbs had naturally not regrown, and his soul power had dropped to the level of the eighties, but the excruciating pain in his body had eased by more than half, and the bleeding had stopped.

Even the blood he had lost too much of in his body had actually regenerated quite a bit on its own.

This was simply miraculous; whether the legendary Nine-Ring Nine-Heart Begonia even possessed such an ability remained an unknown.

"Nan Feihuang, you saved me, aren't you afraid I'll spill all your conspiracies?" Guimei said gloomily.

"You won't!" Feihuang said confidently.

Guimei asked suspiciously, "Why?"

Feihuang smiled, "Because Yue Guan's life is in my hands. You don't care about your own life, but you care about his, and he is the same; he was willing to become my puppet to save you. To be honest, I have never seen 'friends' with a bond as deep as yours. If I gave Yue Guan an Acacia Heartbroken Red, given his feelings for you, he might actually be able to move this King of Flowers."

"Rest assured, since I want to use Yue Guan, I won't harm you. Likewise, since Yue Guan is willing to be driven by me, then for his sake, you wouldn't dare betray me, right?"

Guimei fell silent, and only after a while did he raise his head, "Nan Feihuang, you are truly terrifying!"

Their emotions had been exploited by him to the extreme.

If he had threatened them with their own lives, it might not necessarily have been effective.

But using Guimei's life to threaten Yue Guan, and then using Yue Guan's life to restrict Guimei, the effect was one hundred and twenty percent.

To manipulate the feelings the two had for each other to the extreme—was such a person not far more terrifying than someone who only knew how to threaten people with their lives? "Hehe, I will take it that Senior Guimei is complimenting me!" Nan Feihuang smiled slightly and asked Long Gong to take She Long and Guimei, returning to Gu Lei Royal City.

With this, the assassination attempt against Nan Feihuang came to a complete end.

The Spirit Hall suffered a crushing defeat; they sent six Title Douluo, one died, two were captured alive, and three fled with heavy injuries.

Nan Feihuang did not intend to hide this matter. After returning to the Royal City, he would publicize it with great fanfare and send envoys to the Heaven Dou Empire and the various major kingdoms, hoping the empire would also step forward to uphold justice.

The Gu Lei Kingdom had never provoked the Spirit Hall; why would they assassinate him for no reason? What was the logic? With two Title Douluo captured alive, this matter could not be covered up. The Spirit Hall would first think of resolving it privately with Nan Feihuang, so Feihuang had to spread this matter across the entire continent before the Spirit Hall could react, creating a fait accompli.

Before the Spirit Hall had received any news, Feihuang had already launched his actions, with envoys heading toward the Heaven Dou Empire, the three major kingdoms, and the Tianshuang Principality. Bibi Dong was currently inside the Spirit Hall, sitting alone on the Pope Throne, waiting for the Elders to return.

There was excitement on her face, as well as anger and sorrow.

The anger was, of course, because of the Grandmaster's death, which she had not yet moved past. Back then, she had an agreement with Qian Renxue: she would not move against Nan Feihuang, and she would not move against the Grandmaster.

Yet on her side, she hadn't even made a move against Nan Feihuang yet, and the people under Qian Renxue had actually presented the news of the Grandmaster's death to her as a battle report to claim credit, which was practically a fatal blow to her heart.

And the excitement was because she was about to take revenge; soon, she would also let the people of the Qian Family, the only daughter of Qian Xunji, taste the pain of losing a loved one.

As for the final feeling of sorrow, Bibi Dong herself did not want it, but she could not shake it off. She understood that after this incident, the relationship between her and her own daughter, Qian Renxue, was bound to become even more incompatible than before.

But she would not regret it; her hatred for the Qian Family had already outweighed everything else.

Her greatest weakness, the Grandmaster, was also gone; from now on, her actions would become completely uninhibited.

"Xue'er, hate me if you want, but the culprit is Qian Xunji." Bibi Dong's expression was ferocious as she talked to herself.

Just at this moment, Hu Liena suddenly ran into the Pope Palace in a panic. In the past, she would not have been so rude; even though Bibi Dong doted on her, she would never be arrogant because of that favor, and the proper etiquette was never lacking—she would always report before entering.

But this time, what had happened made her unable to care about etiquette.

"Teacher, something terrible has happened?" Hu Liena knelt directly in front of Bibi Dong, "The Elders sent to assassinate Nan Feihuang have returned."

Bibi Dong frowned, "They returned, so they returned; why are you so panicked? Where are they?"

"They are kneeling outside, waiting to be punished!" Hu Liena replied.

"Waiting to be punished?" Bibi Dong had a bad premonition, "Could it be that their assassination failed? Even if Lan Xue is strong, one-on-one..."

Bibi Dong had not considered Nan Feihuang himself at all, because in her view, no matter how strong Nan Feihuang's aptitude was, he was currently only at the level of a Soul Emperor and had no qualifications to compete with a Title Douluo.

"Let them in!" Bibi Dong ordered.

She had to ask clearly in person what exactly was going on.

"Yes!" Hu Liena responded and walked out of the Pope Palace. Before long, she was seen bringing three people in.

It was the battered and scarred Chrysanthemum Douluo, Lingyuan Douluo, and Ghost Leopard Douluo.

"Why are there only three? Where are Guimei, Demon Bear, and She Long?" Bibi Dong questioned.

"Reporting to Your Holiness the Pope, our mission failed." As the one among the remaining few who was closest to Bibi Dong, Yue Guan took the initiative to step forward and speak.
