A hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast is terrifying beyond measure, yet it is extremely difficult to find.
If that weren't the case, Bibi Dong wouldn't have so many ten-thousand-year soul rings on her second martial soul.
With her strong-willed personality, if she knew where to find a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, she would undoubtedly go and hunt it down.
The numerous people in Spirit Hall were not just for show.
Standing below the Pope's throne, Hu Liena did not hear Bibi Dong's voice for a long time.
She felt a chill on her back, as if cold air was rising from the soles of her feet to the back of her head. Beads of cold sweat formed on her forehead.
Could it be that Teacher was really angry?
Cautiously, she raised her head to glance at Bibi Dong, only to find her lost in thought.
This left Hu Liena somewhat confused.
What could possibly make Bibi Dong daze off while talking to her beloved disciple?
That shouldn't be possible, right?
Knowing that Bibi Dong was merely lost in thought and not actually angry, Hu Liena let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, she felt a sense of loss.
Her teacher, who had always cherished her, had changed.
She was no longer as doting as before...
After a long pause, just as Hu Liena was feeling dejected, Bibi Dong finally came back to her senses and spoke.
"Nana, a single failure is not important."
"Look at Tang San, shameless and persistent. No matter how many times he loses, he remains steadfast, resilient, and unyielding."
Hearing this, Hu Liena's expression turned strange.
Was Bibi Dong praising her or insulting her?
Comparing her to Tang San?
Or was she using Tang San as an example?
This was too bizarre for her to accept.
Who was Tang San?
He was the embodiment of a cunning villain!
Could it be that Bibi Dong was hinting at her not to become someone like Tang San?
"Teacher, everything I have today is thanks to you and Spirit Hall. I swear I will never betray you!"
"???"
Seeing Hu Liena's solemn expression, Bibi Dong was full of question marks in her mind.
What is this disciple talking about?
Why does she sound so defensive?
She was merely using Tang San's personality as an example, what had Hu Liena thought of?
Only a guilty person would be so quick to clarify.
If she had nothing to hide, why would she so eagerly express her loyalty?
"Nana, would you betray me?"
Bibi Dong looked deeply at Hu Liena, then shook her head.
She did not believe Hu Liena would ever betray her.
Even if Hu Liena turned her back on Spirit Hall, she would never turn her back on her teacher.
She knew Hu Liena too well.
This girl was exactly like her younger self.
Of course, she was referring to personality.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, Bibi Dong's confidence wavered, and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.
Just like her younger self?
Wouldn't that be a disaster?
Back then, no matter how much Qian Xunji tried to persuade her, she had been determined to betray Spirit Hall just to be with Yu Xiaogang.
If Hu Liena was just like her...
Bibi Dong's confidence crumbled.
They say, "Like father, like son" could something like this really be passed down?
It wasn't impossible.
Take Tang San as an example.
His father, Tang Hao, "tricked" a hundred-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, and Tang San followed in his footsteps, "tricking" a hundred-thousand-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit!
Father and son both had the same experience. If there wasn't something in their bloodline, Bibi Dong wouldn't believe it!
"Nana, go back and focus on your cultivation."
Since nothing had happened yet, Bibi Dong couldn't make any judgments. Even if it did happen, she wouldn't say much.
Hu Liena was her disciple, after all.
She had poured all the love meant for her daughter into Hu Liena.
It wasn't that she didn't love Qian Renxue, she just couldn't bring herself to love the daughter who possessed the Seraphim Martial Soul.
Giving all her love for Qian Renxue to Hu Liena was, in a way, her way of finding solace.
Qian Renxue: "..."
If Qian Renxue knew Bibi Dong's thoughts, she would have lashed out on the spot.
She wouldn't have waited until she became a god, she would have severed ties with her mother immediately.
Unbelievable!
Giving her love to some fox spirit instead, and even making it sound so noble and justified.
Truly, wanting to act virtuous while doing something disgraceful.
Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Hu Liena sensed something was off.
Clenching her teeth, as if making a major decision, she said firmly, "Teacher, I want to go to the Slaughter City for training!"
Bibi Dong was stunned and looked at Hu Liena in disbelief.
She hadn't said anything harsh just now, so why did Hu Liena suddenly come to such a decision?
Back then, if it weren't for Qian Xunji threatening the Slaughter King in the name of Spirit Hall, she wouldn't have even survived the trials to obtain the Killing God Domain.
She had only found out about this later, but by then, it was too late to change anything.
Glancing at Hu Liena again, Bibi Dong spoke.
"Nana, the Slaughter City is too cruel. Even Titled Douluo can perish there."
"You are not suited to go there right now."
"If you want training, take Xie Yue and Yan with you to Death Canyon instead."
Hu Liena wanted to protest, but Bibi Dong waved her hand.
That gesture was both a refusal and a signal that no further discussion was needed.
Seeing this, Hu Liena could only leave the Pope's Palace reluctantly.
Only she knew how much determination it had taken for her to make that decision, only to be rejected in the end.
The Slaughter City was not a place for humans.
Meanwhile, the Slaughter City had undergone a complete transformation.
Everything was now well-organized—each "criminal" received a punishment befitting their crimes.
Many criminals even took pride in their sins, fearing others wouldn't know what they had done. Because of this, they faced even harsher punishments.
For those unwilling to admit their crimes, special methods were used to probe their memories, ensuring that no good person was wronged and no villain escaped justice.
After all, how many good people had ever been sent to the Slaughter City?
So far, not a single one had been found.
Spirit Hall's judgment was trustworthy.
Looking at the transformed Slaughter City, Wang Chen was very satisfied.
At first, he had thought the Slaughter King was just deceiving him.
He never expected the Slaughter King to be so serious about this!
In fact, he did better than Wang Chen had imagined.
What started as an expedition to eradicate the Slaughter City had turned into him being busy managing the new "Underworld."
While Wang Chen was occupied, Zhongli was much more relaxed.
Their journey back to Heaven Dou City went smoothly.
With a Martial God Douluo in their group, no one dared to seek death by provoking them.
Even the dumbest of people wouldn't attempt to stop them.
Meanwhile, the Shrek group was gathered together, discussing their plans for the next five years.
Among them, Oscar remained silent.
"Boss Dai, we'll go with you to Star Luo Empire! With us around, you won't die!"
"Xiao Ao, we're all following Boss Dai. Are you coming with us?"
Hearing this, Oscar shook his head.
"There is no banquet that never ends. I plan to go on my own journey of training."
