Chapter 98: Di Tian and Qian Renxue

"Ice‑Fire Dual‑Eye?" Mu Junwu heard that place name for the first time.

Bai Yuan said gloomily, "Your senior sister is meditating there."

He flew back alone, so he naturally knew the direction of Ice‑Fire Dual‑Eye, though how he deduced it is another matter.

Of course, after the King of Slaughter left the Five‑Elements Array, he changed course and flew toward that spot, his purpose unmistakable.

After all, as a deity's lackey, the King of Slaughter came to root out the weeds, so he could not possibly be unaware of Ice‑Fire Dual‑Eye's location.

Nevertheless, Bai Yuan felt relieved at this moment, glad that the King of Slaughter came here first instead of going straight after Bai Yu.

Otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Asura God! Tang Chen! You wait for me!" Bai Yuan could not help clenching his fist, his jet‑black eyes blazing with fury.

"Master, let's hurry to rescue senior sister!" Mu Junwu said, his tone full of annoyance and anxiety.

At that moment Mu Junwu was deeply self‑blaming, wondering why he gave the King of Slaughter a chance to escape, and he also worried about Bai Yu.

After all, that was the one who helped her awaken spiritual intelligence!

He was also the one who introduced her to Bai Yuan.

…

…

On the other side.

Di Tian, after a series of friendly inquiries, finally arrived at the location of the Pope Hall, Spirit Hall City.

The black‑clad Di Tian lingered not a moment, proceeding straight to the highest governing body of the Spirit Hall, the Pope Hall.

"Stop! This is a forbidden zone; come any closer and you will be killed on sight," two Eight‑Ring Soul Douluo flew out of the Pope Hall, blocking Di Tian's path.

"Killed on sight?" Di Tian gave a cold smile, then stepped forward a pace, a soaring dragon roar echoing through heaven and earth.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by a deafening sound, everyone saw the sun in the sky suddenly veiled by black clouds, the whole world plunging into night in an instant.

The two Eight‑Ring Soul Douluo felt their legs trembling uncontrollably.

Had Di Tian's dragon roar not been aimed at them, they would have lost the ability to fly long ago and crashed to the ground.

"I have no interest in dealing with ants; let the Pope step out, I have business with her," Di Tian said calmly.

The two Soul Douluo, as if granted a pardon, hurriedly turned and, disregarding their rank, fled into the Pope Hall.

Through that dragon roar, the two Soul Douluo confirmed that the black‑clad man before them was the legendary hundred‑thousand‑year True Dragon, Beast God, Di Tian, who dwells in the Star Dou Great Forest!

Before long, Qian Renxue emerged, leading a host of Title Douluo.

At this moment her expression was solemn; she could not understand why the hundred‑thousand‑year True Dragon subdued by Bai Yuan would suddenly appear here.

"Who is the Pope?" Di Tian scanned the crowd, fixing his gaze on the strongest among them, Jin E Douluo.

For a moment, Jin E Douluo felt like prey caught by a primeval beast, his hair standing on end, a sudden urge to turn and flee surfacing in his mind.

In the instant that thought arose, Jin E Douluo seemed to envision himself being trampled like an ant.

Terrifying!

Unparalleled terror!

Jin E Douluo had only heard of the terror of the hundred‑thousand‑year True Dragon; when he truly encountered it, he understood the hopeless gap.

Qian Renxue inhaled deeply, stepped forward and said, "I am the newly appointed Pope; may I ask what matter brings you here, senior?"

"You are the Pope?" This time Di Tian was surprised.

He truly hadn't expected that the woman before him, who possessed only seven rings, was the Pope, and that the number of Title Douluo under her command exceeded even his own hundred‑thousand‑year Soul Beast.

Yet the next moment, Di Tian realized, "Well, it's understandable; Bai Yuan said you and Bi Bi Dong would become gods, so you being the Pope is still normal."

Di Tian spoke calmly, but the Title Douluo present, except for Jin E Douluo, were dumbfounded.

Qian Renxue and Bi Bi Dong will become gods?

If someone else said it, they'd just treat it as nonsense.

But the one who said it was Bai Yuan, and Di Tian!

Even though they are not in the same camp, none of them would question Bai Yuan's or Di Tian's strength, nor doubt their judgment.

At that moment, the Title Douluo's gazes toward Qian Renxue changed, except for the Ghost Soul Douluo who had previously harassed her most viciously, whose eyes remained sullen.

"Will they become gods? I think it's just this pair of lecherous spouses flattering each other; how could anyone be destined to become a god?" the Ghost Soul Douluo muttered sarcastically.

Yet everyone present was sharp‑eared and quick‑witted; no one could have missed the Ghost Soul Douluo's words, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze for an instant.

At the same time, Qian Renxue's expression darkened.

Regarding Di Tian's revelation that she would become a god, she felt rather helpless; after all, she preferred to stay low‑key, just like Bi Bi Dong once did.

But now that it was exposed, Qian Renxue had no intention to hide it, since doing so could rally support and boost her prestige.

It was only the Ghost Soul Douluo's words…

At that instant, before anyone could react, Di Tian raised his hand and struck; the Ghost Soul Douluo, who had not even released his martial soul, died instantly.

This scene made every Title Douluo's heart tremble, and as they hurried away, they each released their martial souls.

In the blink of an eye, the previously harmonious atmosphere turned tense, and a great battle seemed about to erupt.

But Qian Renxue felt a thrill inside; she had wanted to kill the Ghost Soul Douluo last time, but Jin E Douluo hadn't acted.

The Ghost Soul Douluo had just offended Qian Renxue again, and now Di Tian eliminated him; she was delighted and relieved.

But outwardly Qian Renxue's gaze remained calm as she said, "How are you treating our distinguished guest? Put away your martial souls for me."

"Under the Pope's crown, we sheath our martial souls, and before him we will have no resistance…"

Without letting that Title Douluo finish, Qian Renxue interrupted coldly, "There's nothing more to say; the Ghost Soul Douluo has repeatedly committed insubordination and deserves death."

Qian Renxue had long been dissatisfied with this group of Title Douluo, who repeatedly ignored her; the Ghost Soul Douluo's sarcastic remarks were merely theater to her.

Now Qian Renxue felt completely at ease.

The Title Douluo did not dare to answer.

They all feared that the next person Di Tian would kill would be themselves.

Di Tian looked at Qian Renxue with interest for a moment and said, "Bai Yuan certainly didn't misjudge you; you're quite good."

After killing a human Title Douluo, the opposing side readily stood on his side; Di Tian couldn't help but admire Bai Yuan's training methods, and also felt that the ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts he had sent out were not wasted.

Especially, the person before him will one day become a god!

Qian Renxue smiled and replied, "I always remember his kindness to me. But why did you, senior, come? He said he would come to the Spirit Hall."

Di Tian's expression returned to calm; he glanced at Qian Renxue, then adopted a solemn demeanor and said, "Bai Yuan is already dead; he and the Master of the Abyss perished together, and he cannot come."

But rest assured, before he entered the Abyss, he instructed me to come to the Spirit Hall to assist you and take his place if anything happened to him.
