Chapter 667: Joining Forces: Tang San and Bibi Dong

"I'm sorry, Teacher... Nana... cannot accompany you anymore... I'm sorry..." Hu Liena's voice grew weaker and weaker, until her breath vanished completely and her heart stopped beating.

"No... no... Nana, hold on." Bibi Dong frantically poured soul power into Hu Liena's body, but she possessed no ability to bring the dead back to life; pouring soul power into a corpse was, no matter what, a futile effort.

After a long while, Bibi Dong finally accepted the reality, holding her beloved disciple's body, her heart filled with sorrow.

Her last relative was gone; from now on, the world was vast, and she was all alone.

The Spirit Empire had also been destroyed by Nan Feihuang; where else could she go? Now, the only obsession that could keep Bibi Dong going was reduced to two words: revenge!

Although it was Xun Yu who had dealt the hand that caused Hu Liena's death, Xun Yu was merely the direct cause; the root cause was still that arch-criminal Nan Feihuang. Bibi Dong understood this very well.

"Nan Feihuang... Nan Feihuang!!!" Bibi Dong roared the name of Feihuang toward the sky; it was a hatred no less than that she held for Qian Xunji.

"What is the point of the Pope roaring in incompetence here?" Just then, a voice rang out, and a person holding a long sword was seen walking toward her.

Bibi Dong was startled. "Asura Demon Sword, are you Tang Chen? No, that's not right. Tang Chen has likely already been killed by Nan Feihuang, otherwise he could not have pacified Star Luo. Then, are you Tang San?"

It was the first time Bibi Dong had seen Tang San after his appearance had changed, and she did not recognize him at first.

Tang San nodded. "That's right. Following the guidance of Lord Asura God, I sensed the location of the Rakshasa Demon Sickle, which finally allowed me to find you."

"Tang San, you dare to appear before me; do you wish to die?" Bibi Dong said coldly.

The Tang Family was also an enemy of the Spirit Empire.

"Heh, at a time like this, why does the Pope still insist on calling me an enemy? Are you still the Pope of the Spirit Hall now?" Tang San mocked. "Bibi Dong, Lord Asura God has the ability to monitor the heavens and the earth; there is no secret in the world that can be hidden from him. From Lord Asura God, I learned many things, including your past and the past of Qian Xunji."

"Shut up!" Bibi Dong shouted angrily. That past was the greatest sore spot of her life; she would not allow anyone to know it, let alone mention it to her face.

"Bibi Dong, I just want to say that now the Spirit Empire is about to be gone, and my Tang Sect, the Clear Sky Sect, and the Star Luo Empire have all been destroyed by Nan Feihuang. In terms of stance, we shouldn't be enemies anymore, right? As for personal grudges, do we have any?" Tang San asked.

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong was silent for a moment. Indeed, she had always been at odds with Tang San; that was an enmity of stance.

But to speak of personal grudges, it seemed there really were none.

Tang San's mother was killed by Qian Xunji, and she had killed Qian Xunji; one could even say she had helped Tang San take revenge.

By the same token, if Tang Hao had not severely wounded Qian Xunji, she would not have had the opportunity to take his life while he was vulnerable; it could be said they had helped each other.

From this perspective, not only was there no hatred, but both sides had even done each other favors.

As for any hatred that could slightly touch upon it, there was only Xiao Wu's mother, but Tang San and Xiao Wu had not married after all, and Xiao Wu was already dead. With Tang San's personality, he would certainly not dwell on that grudge for someone he had never met.

"It seems the Pope has figured it out. Not only do we have no hatred between us, but we have the exact same great enemy: Nan Feihuang and the Qian Family. Now, rumors on the continent say the Spirit Empire is about to surrender to the Gu Lei Empire. Our two great enemies have united, and Qian Renxue has even announced she is about to marry Nan Feihuang. Is such happiness for your enemies truly something you are happy to see?" Tang San used the most direct words to provoke Bibi Dong. Bibi Dong clenched her fists. Of course not; she could not bear to see people of the Qian Family find happiness, and she could not tolerate Nan Feihuang continuing to live.

She wanted Qian Renxue to be like her, lonely for a lifetime; she wanted Nan Feihuang to be like her disciple, to die a miserable death.

"Tang San, what do you intend to do?" Bibi Dong asked.

"Naturally, to join forces. Pope, you are the inheritor of the Rakshasa God, and I am the inheritor of the Asura God. You have already passed the Eight Trials, and I have inherited my great-grandfather's trials, which is equivalent to passing the Eight Trials. As long as we complete the Ninth Trial, we can become gods instantly. With Nan Feihuang's current power, going directly before him is suicide, but as long as we become gods, he will be like an ant. The Asura God and the Rakshasa God are both gods of evil intent and slaughter; our divine offices and laws have a certain degree of overlap. If we set aside our prejudices against each other and mutually assist each other in cultivation, we will certainly be able to accelerate the progress of becoming gods," Tang San said.

"Hu Liena was my close friend. In the Slaughter City, we once supported each other. Now that she has died at the hands of the Gu Lei Empire, I am bound to take revenge for her. And my teacher—if he saw me cooperating with you to resist the evil Nan Feihuang and the Qian Family for the sake of justice and the common people of the world, he would surely feel comforted."

Tang San's scheming was indeed deeper than Bibi Dong's; using the two people Bibi Dong cared about most as bargaining chips was the best incentive for her.

"Nana, Xiao Gang..." Bibi Dong murmured the names of the two.

"I beg you, for the sake of my teacher and Hu Liena, lend me a hand. In the name of the gods, let us crusade together against the evil Nan Feihuang and the Qian Family who are wreaking havoc on the world!" Tang San struck directly at Bibi Dong's soft spot.

Her longing for the Master, combined with her hatred for Nan Feihuang and the Qian Family, finally made her make up her mind.

"Fine, Tang San, I will join forces with you once. But remember, I don't care about the others, but the lives of Qian Renxue and Nan Feihuang belong to me," Bibi Dong agreed.

Tang San smiled slightly. "That is only natural. When the time comes, those two will be yours to dispose of."

Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with hatred. Qian Renxue was her own daughter; she would not kill her, but as a descendant of Qian Xunji, she must bear his hatred for him. She also wanted Qian Renxue to taste what it was like to lose one's beloved and be lonely for a lifetime.

As for Nan Feihuang, it was simple: she wanted to hack him into ten thousand pieces.

At this moment in Wuhun City, Nan Feihuang did not yet know the news of these two joining forces. In fact, even if he knew, he would not care, because he would not have let these two go anyway.

As the intelligence of the three great battles—the Heaven Dou battlefield, the Star Luo battlefield, and the Spirit Hall battlefield—spread across the continent over these past few days, the world finally realized that the continent had been pacified by the Gu Lei Empire.

It was too rapid. From the time Feihuang sent troops to conquer Star Luo to the current pacification of the continent, it had actually been less than a month.

Settling the empire in a month; was this the capability of the Peerless Douluo Nan Feihuang?

After several days of continuous absurdity with Qian Renxue, Feihuang finally found an opportunity to rest for a while.

Because the Gu Lei Empire's main army was said to have returned to the country, Feihuang and the others were also about to return to the Gu Lei Empire.

The Spirit Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Heaven Dou Empire, along with all their vassal forces, would all declare their submission to the Gu Lei Empire in the Gu Lei Imperial City.
