Thanks to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's skilled craftsmen, Meng Jian's spirit tool was repaired, so it took on the great task of welcoming the bride at this wedding.
High above Heaven Dou City, a ten-meter airship slowly approached.
On both sides of the airship,
500 thousand-year-old cultivation Royal Holy Light Golden Wing Pegasi stood in formation, draped in red silk, dyeing the sky red.
On the other side, there were also 200 Starlight Griffins gifted by the Star Luo Empire, forming congratulatory messages in the sky with starlight for Meng Bei and Ning Rongrong's wedding.
The procession flew toward the Heaven Dou Empire Grand Hall. When they reached outside the hall, a white light descended from the exit below the airship. Meng Bei and Ning Rongrong, dressed in wedding attire, slowly descended within the white light.
At the entrance of the Imperial Grand Hall, the four major elemental academies—Water, Fire, Wind, and Thunder—each sent students who used elemental spirit skills to write congratulatory scenes in the air.
The spirit skills were incredibly dazzling, and being able to command the four great elements demonstrated the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's profound foundation.
Meng Bei held Ning Rongrong's small hand and walked beneath it calmly.
Next came a series of traditional Douluo Continent marriage ceremonies.
Finally, the ceremony was complete. Witnessed by everyone, Meng Bei and Ning Rongrong became husband and wife.
"The Pope arrives!"
People turned their attention one after another.
They saw Bibi Dong dressed in papal robes, surrounded by Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, stepping into the center of the hall.
The woman before them was so beautiful, noble, and elegant that these words couldn't even describe a fraction of this Pope.
However, at this moment, what emanated from this Pope was more of a cold aura.
Meng Bei looked at the stern-faced Bibi Dong before him, his brow slightly furrowing.
The other party clearly had some ill intentions.
He just didn't know where he had offended her.
Meng Bei cupped his hands and said:
"For Your Holiness the Pope to personally attend my wedding truly makes me feel overwhelmingly honored. Please, Your Holiness and the two Excellencies, take seats at the head table."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong's body didn't move an inch.
She surveyed her surroundings and said coldly:
"Meng Bei, you are outstanding—the most talented spirit master this Pope has ever seen. This Pope came here for two matters. First is to congratulate your wedding. For this, I have brought generous congratulatory gifts. Gui Mei!"
Bibi Dong called out.
Ghost Douluo beside her immediately stepped forward, took out a brocade box, and opened it before everyone.
Instantly, everyone present was shocked by the item in the box. Some even couldn't help swallowing slightly.
In that box, there was clearly a spirit bone displayed.
"This is the Explosive Burning Flame Right Arm Bone, 30,000 years old!"
Ghost Douluo introduced indifferently.
Then, Gui Mei stepped forward and personally delivered the congratulatory gift to Meng Bei.
Meng Bei accepted the gift box with a calm expression, bowed slightly, and said:
"When an elder bestows, one cannot refuse. Meng Bei thanks Your Holiness the Pope!"
Saying this, Meng Bei accepted the spirit bone in front of everyone.
Then he asked:
"I wonder what the other matter Your Holiness mentioned is?"
Meng Bei knew that the spirit bone wasn't the key point. The most likely key point of Bibi Dong's visit would fall on this other matter.
Sure enough, after seeing Meng Bei accept the spirit bone, Bibi Dong's expression became even colder.
"Regarding the other matter, this Pope is here to seek justice for our Spirit Hall's Elder Ghost Leopard!"
Saying this, she turned her gaze toward Ning Fengzhi and the Clear Sky Sect members present, slowly saying:
"Two months ago, our Spirit Hall's Elder Ghost Leopard lost contact. Sect Master Ning and Howling Sky Douluo, do you know about this matter?"
Bibi Dong asked.
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi frowned and stood up.
His eyes remained calm as still water. He didn't immediately answer Bibi Dong's question but chose to think briefly.
At this time, Tang Xiao beside him also rose, but unlike Ning Fengzhi's relatively calm gaze, Tang Xiao's eyes were full of evasion.
After all, Tang Xiao knew that Ghost Leopard Douluo had been killed by Tang Hao, and his head was still hanging in the Clear Sky Sect's great hall!
Tang Xiao was naturally rather honest. If you asked him to fight Spirit Hall, he wouldn't retreat even if he died in battle. But if you asked him to lie with his eyes open, he would become very nervous, even to the point of trembling lips.
At this time, Ning Fengzhi had already prepared his explanation. He said:
"Two months ago, I indeed saw Ghost Leopard Douluo. At that time, he was pursuing and trying to kill Heaven Dou Empire's Marshal Ge Long and others. Bone Douluo and I intervened to help, saved Marshal Ge Long, and drove Ghost Leopard Douluo away. After that, I know nothing more."
Tang Xiao beside him chimed in:
"Yes, yes, that's right."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong fixed her gaze on Tang Xiao and said:
"Oh? So Howling Sky Douluo was also present at the time?"
Tang Xiao was immediately embarrassed. "This, this..." He couldn't speak for a long time.
It was Ning Fengzhi who resolved the situation for him, saying:
"Howling Sky Douluo was not present at the time. He happened to learn of it during a conversation with me."
Tang Xiao hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I was chatting with Sect Master Ning—heard about it during casual conversation."
"Is that so?" Bibi Dong revealed a cold smile and said indifferently:
"Sect Master Ning may not know that not long ago, at the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena, someone used a spirit bone skill called Leopard Shadow Phantom Slaughter, and this spirit bone skill happens to come from our Spirit Hall's Ghost Leopard Douluo's 40,000-year Phantom Leopard right arm bone."
Having said this, Bibi Dong's tone suddenly became dangerous.
"Sect Master Ning, do you think there can be two identical spirit bones in this world? How is it that I heard you and a Title Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect killed Ghost Leopard Douluo?"
"This..."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was slightly stunned.
Because he didn't know about the spirit bone matter.
He thought for a moment and didn't rashly answer.
Because since Bibi Dong dared to bring up this matter in public, it certainly wasn't groundless.
Ning Fengzhi turned his gaze toward Meng Bei.
Because Ning Fengzhi knew that if there really was a spirit bone left behind at that time, it must be in Tang Hao's hands. And since Tang Hao obeyed Meng Bei's every word, this spirit bone must have ended up in Meng Bei's hands.
And Meng Bei also knew he couldn't avoid this now.
When he had given the spirit bone to Dai Mubai, it was indeed his inadequate consideration. Now this spirit bone had become the most substantial evidence. Therefore, at this moment, he had to step forward to resolve this matter.
At this time, watching Meng Bei step forward, Dai Mubai below was extremely nervous,
beads of sweat the size of beans breaking out all over his body.
"Boss Dai, what's wrong with you?"
Fatty and others asked with concern.
Dai Mubai stammered nervously, unable to speak.
Meng Bei gave Ning Rongrong a reassuring look, calmly stepped forward, and said to Bibi Dong:
"I killed Ghost Leopard Douluo. It has nothing to do with the Clear Sky Sect or Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"The Douluo Continent has always followed the law of the jungle. Ghost Leopard Douluo and I had a fair fight. Ultimately, I achieved victory, extracted the spirit bone, and then gifted it to my friend!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was in an uproar.
Bibi Dong completely didn't expect this explanation from Meng Bei.
For a moment, she was so angry she couldn't help laughing.
"Ha, hahahaha, interesting. Little Meng Bei, are you joking with this Pope?"
