Chapter 54

On the high platform, Bai Yuan naturally didn't know that Gu Yue Na had already locked onto Tang San; he just lightly said: "Believe the Title Douluo present should have already recognized her true form, right?"

The Title Douluo seated in the red section all nodded.

Compared to a year ago, that soulless, immensely powerful reforged soul beast, seeing through the reforged soul beast before them, was for them utterly effortless.

Bi Bi Dong's cold voice rang out: "No more nonsense—state your price, and I'll buy it."

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red—nine Soul Rings rose from beneath Bi Bi Dong's feet.

Had it not been for her wariness of the mysterious powerhouse who just displayed that technique, Bi Bi Dong would have already moved to seize it; she wouldn't be in the mood to ask for a price.

The spectators around who had been preparing to watch the show with popcorn now had their mouths agape.

They had thought that just seeing a reforged soul beast today would be satisfying, but now a Soul Master possessing a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring has actually appeared.

Both the Tian Dou royal family and the Star Luo imperial family now wore solemn expressions.

As far as they knew, only two people in the present era possessed a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring: the long-missing Haotian Douluo Tang Hao, and the current Spirit Hall Pope, Bi Bi Dong.

It was obvious that the person before them was Pope Bi Bi Dong.

The arrival of such a figure, coupled with her lack of bidding intent, left them with no hope of acquiring the reforged hundred-thousand-year soul beast.

Bai Yuan glanced at Bi Bi Dong and said: "The price isn't high; I don't need gold soul coins—I just need you to help me kill two people and find one."

"Kill whom? Find whom?" Bi Bi Dong asked.

Bai Yuan said: "Find the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, kill Haotian Douluo Tang Hao and his children, Tang San. Whoever brings Dugu Bo before me and kills Tang Hao and Tang San will get this reforged soul beast."

Bi Bi Dong even blinked her eyelids and said: "The Spirit Hall accepts these terms."

However, at this moment Tang San and Tang Hao were left dumbstruck.

They never imagined that the person selling Xiao Wu actually had the true purpose of coming to kill them father and son.

Bi Bi Dong, at the forefront, then stepped onto the platform, seemingly intending to act on the spot, absorb the Soul Ring and Soul Bone, then leave.

After all, with so many people present, anyone who dared to act would be making an enemy of the Spirit Hall.

Qian Renxue, dressed as a male, watched with gritted teeth.

She had already persuaded Xueye Dadi to help her purchase the reforged hundred-thousand-year soul beast, but Bi Bi Dong's abrupt interference rendered her money useless.

Tang San stared until his eyes were bloodshot, nearly losing his reason.

Just as he was about to act, and Tang Hao also intended to seize it by force, Bai Yuan stepped in front of Bi Bi Dong and said: "The person must be brought to her before she becomes yours; as she stands now, she is not yet yours."

Bi Bi Dong's eyes narrowed slightly.

Instantly, nine Title Douluo rose to their feet.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—nine identical Soul Rings rose.

Among them, aside from the seven elders of the Elder Hall, there were also Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

"Do you intend to seize it by force?" Bai Yuan countered.

Bi Bi Dong coldly replied: "The Spirit Hall never seizes things; we merely feel you would not keep it safe, so we take it first, and we will swiftly complete the transaction."

"Are you sure?" Bai Yuan asked again.

Just as Bi Bi Dong was about to answer, Bai Yuan gave a light smile and directly removed his mask.

In an instant, this space became quieter than death, so silent that each could almost hear the other's heartbeat.

"It's you!" Bi Bi Dong's expression turned wary, adopting a defensive stance ready to flee at any moment.

Behind her, the other Title Douluo besides the Sword and Bone Douluo were likewise affected, though their faces grew progressively uglier.

It was as if they had seen a ghost.

And everyone present who had ever received news of Bai Yuan also had their faces turn extremely grim.

They never imagined they would encounter a living King of Hell here.

Moreover, the reforged hundred-thousand-year soul beast being auctioned this time seemed to have been captured by him.

Given this scene, it's hard not to think that Bai Yuan intends to wipe out humanity's top-tier combat forces in one sweep.

Tang Hao looked on, his expression stiffening.

Tang San's eyes filled with hatred and killing intent.

Bai Yuan ignored everyone's reactions, instead gazing at Ning Fengzhi with a smiling squint and said: "Ning Fengzhi, it seems you've been living quite leisurely this past year! You even have the mood to come here to bid on beauties—are you hoping I'll toss Ning Rongrong up there for sale so you can bid on her?"

Ning Fengzhi's face changed drastically.

Below, Ning Rongrong nearly shattered her teeth in anger.

She knew Bai Yuan was merely threatening her father; in fact, even if he disliked her, he would never actually do that.

Yet she was furious beyond measure.

When needed, he had promised to have a child with her.

Now it's no longer needed, and he simply ignores her completely.

Ning Fengzhi hastily explained: "Senior, please don't misunderstand—I've been under soft house arrest by the Spirit Hall this past year, and only a few days ago was I allowed to come out."

"Oh? Is that so?" Bai Yuan lightly laughed.

Ning Fengzhi urgently said: "This is absolutely true."

"Then bring your people and step forward," Bai Yuan said.

Ning Fengzhi hurried forward.

But at that moment, Bi Bi Dong's icy voice rang out: "Ning Fengzhi, are you intending to betray humanity?"

Ning Fengzhi's steps froze.

Bai Yuan paid no heed, merely saying: "Everyone, take off your straw hats; I want to see if there are any acquaintances. If not, you may leave."

Bi Bi Dong said nothing more.

This is the fear that battle brought to everyone; even though Bai Yuan's aura is actually quite weak, merely standing there gives an indescribable oppression to all the high-ranking powerhouses present.

"Is that true?" a person from the black section asked.

Bai Yuan lightly nodded and said, "Of course."

That person immediately removed the bamboo hat and the mask on his face, revealing a plump, affluent face.

"You may go." Bai Yuan waved his hand indifferently.

Immediately, that man turned and ran.

Afterwards, more and more people removed their bamboo hats and masks, revealing their identities, all in order to flee this troublesome place.

"Everyone take your time, take them off one by one, don't rush, I can't keep up." Bai Yuan said with a smiling squint, showing no airs of a strong person.

But the more Bai Yuan didn't take those Title Douluo seriously, the more those people were anxious and fearful.

Even though Xiao Wu was just standing there before them, not a single person dared to move.

Suddenly, Bai Yuan asked, "Who are you?"

Qian Renxue's eyes flickered as she said, "Xue Qinghe."

"Oh, it's Brother Qinghe! Then please stay here a while longer." Bai Yuan stopped the handsome youth.

The expressions of Qian Renxue and Bi Bi Dong both underwent a subtle change.

And as people left one by one, finally it was the turn of the guests in the white seats, who were practically scrambling over each other.

"Xiao San, your appearance and aura have changed; he probably won't recognize you now, so quickly blend into the crowd and leave."
