Chapter 393: Bibi Dong's Anger and Qian Renxue's Emotion

~8 min read 1,423 words

"Failed! How is that possible? You were six Title Douluo in total, surrounding and killing one Lan Xue; could it be that you couldn't even win six-on-one? Are you all just a bunch of trash?" Bibi Dong was filled with fury, the veins on her hands bulging; that violent power nearly snapped the Pope Scepter, which symbolized the supreme authority of the Spirit Hall.

"Elders, could it be that Nan Feihuang saw through our plan and gathered forces to ambush us in return?" Hu Liena asked. She tried to offer a defense for them, and upon careful thought, it was indeed the most likely scenario.

"It was not," Lingyuan shook her head with a bitter smile. "They did not send any ambush. Our plan was completed very smoothly. Right at the start, I used a sneak attack to injure Nan Feihuang, and I even deliberately told him that killing him was the Young Master's decision, directly provoking him until he lost his reason. Taking this opportunity, Elder Ju and Elder Gui first used the Two-Level Static Domain to seal Lan Xue, while the remaining four of us Title Douluo surrounded and killed Nan Feihuang."

Bibi Dong nodded. It sounded like it had gone smoothly, but what exactly happened with the outcome? A sealed Lan Xue, a crazed Nan Feihuang, and six Title Douluo couldn't win? How was that possible? "However, the one thing we miscalculated was Nan Feihuang's strength. He is no longer a Soul Emperor, nor even a Soul Saint, but a Spirit Douluo. With two Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings on his Halberd and at least two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bones on his own body, his entire attribute set skyrocketed after entering the Berserk State. His strength exceeded Demon Bear Douluo, and his speed exceeded Ghost Leopard Douluo. The cold killing intent of his Killing God Domain could even cover my flames. Snake Spear Douluo was caught off guard and knocked unconscious by a single blow. Afterward, the three of us Title Douluo joined forces and still couldn't defeat him. His Eighth Soul Skill is the most powerful I have ever seen among all soul skills. Elder Demon Bear... Elder Demon Bear was actually killed in one hit." Lingyuan Douluo recalled that battle, and even now, she still felt lingering fear.

"In the end, Elder Demon Bear died in battle. Ghost Leopard Elder and I fled in different directions. It was thanks to Elder Snake Spear waking up in time and desperately blocking Nan Feihuang that Ghost Leopard Elder and I were able to escape with our lives. But Elder Snake Spear is likely either captured alive or killed by Nan Feihuang. As for what happened on Elder Ju's battlefield, this subordinate is unaware; I only met him while fleeing back."

After hearing Lingyuan's words, Bibi Dong and Hu Liena's eyes were filled with shock.

Were they listening to something that had actually happened? Or was Lingyuan telling some kind of myth? An eighteen-year-old Spirit Douluo? Possessing two Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings and at least two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bones—how could such a thing be possible?

In fact, Lingyuan's intelligence was still incomplete, because when Nan Feihuang fought them, he did not reveal the Dunjia Heavenly Book, so Lingyuan did not know that Feihuang also possessed Twin Spirits.

Elder Ju did know, but his soul was currently constrained by Nan Feihuang, and Ghost was also in the Gu Lei Kingdom, making it even more impossible for him to betray him.

"Lingyuan, are you making up stories to cover up your incompetence?" Bibi Dong said angrily. At this moment, she would rather believe her own elders were trash than believe that Nan Feihuang was truly that outstanding; that would only make her envy Qian Renxue even more.

Lingyuan was immediately frightened into kneeling on the ground. "This subordinate dares not speak falsely; everything said is the truth. According to what Nan Feihuang said, he consumed a supreme Immortal Herb, and combined with his own god-level martial soul talent and the amplification of his Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings, he was able to possess such strength at this age. He was even willing to take out an Immortal Herb of the same grade as the one he consumed, along with the entire Gu Lei Kingdom as a betrothal gift, to propose to the Young Master. Elder Ju can verify what this subordinate has said."

Lingyuan looked hopefully at Yue Guan, and Yue Guan, giving her face, immediately interjected, "Yes, Nan Feihuang did indeed produce an Immortal Herb, something that can significantly improve one's aptitude. For people like the Young Master and the Flying General who are already peerlessly talented, once they consume an Immortal Herb, their level can no longer be judged by age. Their rate of progress will be unimaginably fast."

"There is such a great treasure in the world, and that Nan Feihuang's feelings for Qian Renxue are so deep that he is willing to take an Immortal Herb of this grade, plus the entire Gu Lei Kingdom as a betrothal gift. If it were me, I fear I would be unable to refuse," Hu Liena thought to herself.

Not long ago, she had met a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect named Tang Yin in the Slaughter City, who was very outstanding and for whom she had a very good impression.

But compared to the Flying General, Tang Yin was still a world apart.

She had to admit that if she were to swap places with Qian Renxue, she feared she would be unable to stop herself from falling for him.

"Really? Yue Guan, did Feihuang really say that?" Just then, an excited voice full of happiness rang out from the entrance of the Pope Palace.

Everyone turned to look, and a golden-haired woman, beautiful to the extreme, walked in from the entrance of the Pope Palace.

It was none other than Qian Renxue. Ci Xue's poison was said to be effective on her for a whole day, but in reality, it was neutralized by her Angel Power in less than eight hours.

Yet even so, she knew she was already too late to rush to the Gu Lei Kingdom.

Therefore, she left the imperial palace under the guise of a private visit, finished handing over her political duties, and after having her ministers handle them, she returned directly to the Spirit Hall. As soon as she arrived, she heard intelligence that was both good news and bad news.

That Feihuang was still alive was good news for her.

But her Feihuang seemed to have beaten their Nine Great Elders very badly, and Demon Bear had even been killed; this was indeed bad news.

Demon Bear was a loyalist of the Offering Hall. If Feihuang killed Demon Bear, would Grandfather still be willing to let him go?

However, the impact of these two pieces of news on Qian Renxue was quickly overshadowed by what Lingyuan and Yue Guan said next.

She had originally been a bit angry that Feihuang had actually hidden his strength from her.

He had long been a Spirit Douluo but didn't tell her. But later she heard that Feihuang had originally intended to reveal all his secrets to her on the day of their meeting, and was willing to use everything he had—the Immortal Herb plus the entire kingdom—to make a third confession to her, hoping to gain her love.

Hearing this, all her resentment vanished. At this moment, Qian Renxue felt only touched. Feihuang didn't intend to hide it from her; he just wanted to save everything for the day of his third confession. It was just a pity that this opportunity for a third confession was a trap set by Bibi Dong.

She could fully imagine how heartbroken Feihuang must have been at that time.

The Nan Feihuang in her heart had always been a calm and composed person, yet he had actually been provoked into a Berserk State by Lingyuan.

At that time, his heart must have been filled with anger and despair toward her.

Thinking of this, the look Qian Renxue cast at Lingyuan was filled with cold killing intent. It was all this person, sowing discord and causing her to have an unexplainable misunderstanding with Feihuang now.

Just then, Elder Ju, who had already stood on Nan Feihuang's side, deliberately provoked at the right moment, "Reporting to the Young Master, everything Lingyuan and I said is true. The Flying General's feelings for you are indeed deep, though now, perhaps we should add the word 'former'."
