Bibi Dong and her party returned to Spirit City.
This time, Bibi Dong personally took action, determined to capture Xiao Wu and the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, but returned empty-handed.
This matter infuriated her to the point of damaging her vitality.
To participate in the ongoing Rakshasa God Test in her best condition, she needed to go into seclusion and recover for a while.
Before secluding herself, she summoned Elder Chrysanthemum, Elder Ghost, Hu Liena, and Xie Yue to the Pope's Palace.
The few of them stood in the cold and empty Pope's Palace, not daring to breathe as they looked at Bibi Dong, who sat expressionlessly on the pope's throne.
Bibi Dong's icy gaze swept over them, then she spoke slowly:
"Forget about this failure. I have more important tasks to assign you next."
Upon hearing this, the two elders finally felt their hearts settle.
They had thought that after returning to Spirit City, Bibi Dong would punish them.
"Please give your orders, Your Holiness."
Bibi Dong sneered coldly.
"The next plan is to completely destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Let them know that those who oppose Spirit Hall will meet a grim end."
"Please rest assured, Your Holiness. We will not disappoint you this time."
The two elders exchanged a look and smiled this was their chance to redeem themselves.
With the failed soul-hunting operation in mind, Bibi Dong would not take things lightly this time. She would surely make full preparations to annihilate those two clans.
Bibi Dong continued:
"I'm going into seclusion for a while. Once I come out, the operation will begin. During this time, you two elders will assist Nana in managing Spirit Hall."
"Yes, Your Holiness."
"This is a secret mission. You must also make full preparations. Also, send someone to find Yan and have him return to Spirit Hall."
"Yes."
Yue Guan's heart tightened.
If Bibi Dong learned that Yan had absorbed the Titan Giant Ape's soul ring and taken its soul bone, she would definitely kill him.
"That's all. Go prepare."
"Yes."
Then, the four left the Pope's Palace.
As she watched their figures gradually fade into the distance, Bibi Dong's expression grew even darker.
If things were still like before, Yan's figure would also be present in the Pope's Palace.
But from now on, that may no longer be the case.
Although there was still no news of Yan, Bibi Dong felt he was still alive and had already left the Star Dou Forest before them.
She couldn't believe Yan would betray her.
"Yan, for a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, do you really dare betray me? With your talent and potential, following me would bring you endless glory and wealth. Power, fame, women—can you throw all of that away…"
Late at night, when all was silent.
A dark figure suddenly appeared in Yue Guan's room without any warning.
Yue Guan instantly sensed the presence of his old friend.
"Old Ghost, why are you here so late?"
Ghost appeared and asked directly:
"Chrysanthemum Guan, are you hiding something from me? There's no one else here. Speak."
Yue Guan smiled.
"Old Ghost, you and I have partnered for many years. Truly, nothing can be hidden from you. You came at the right time—I was planning to tell you about it anyway."
Then, Yue Guan told Ghost everything he saw in the red mist.
Ghost was shocked. He hadn't expected Yan to actually betray Bibi Dong and absorb the Titan Giant Ape's soul ring on his own.
"That red mist really was suspicious. Who would've thought it was created by Yan. That brat's wings have really hardened. Is he tired of living?!"
Ghost's tone carried a hint of displeasure.
He felt that Yan hadn't considered the consequences.
Luckily, Bibi Dong hadn't blamed them this time.
Yue Guan sighed and said, "Yan was indeed bold, but he had his reasons. It wasn't entirely a bad thing."
"Chrysanthemum Guan, your courage has grown too! Are you saying you agree with what Yan did?"
"Old Ghost, you don't understand. There's more to this than meets the eye."
Then, Yue Guan leaned close to Ghost's ear and told him everything written in Yan's letter.
After hearing it, Ghost was even more shocked.
In the letter, Yan wrote that the former Pope Qian Xunji was killed by Bibi Dong. She poisoned him while he was weak and framed Tang Hao.
Although Tang Hao was also partly responsible for Qian Xunji's death, Bibi Dong was the true culprit.
Yan also mentioned in the letter that Grand Priest Qian Daoliu knew the truth about this matter.
He also advised the two elders to be cautious of Bibi Dong.
Ghost found it hard to believe.
He and Yue Guan had originally served under Qian Xunji. After his death, they stayed behind to assist the newly appointed Pope, Bibi Dong.
He hadn't expected that the young Bibi Dong had been so ruthless to actually murder her own teacher.
Ghost Dou asked doubtfully, "How did Yan learn of such an important secret?"
Yue Guan shook his head.
"I also find it very suspicious. But I know he wouldn't lie to me. As for why the Grand Priest didn't expose this matter, perhaps it's to preserve the greater good of Spirit Hall."
Ghost Dou nodded half-believingly.
"If that's the case, then we'll have to be even more cautious in the future."
"Mm. I wonder where Yan has gone. Spirit Hall has people all over the Douluo Continent. Maybe they'll track him down soon."
"At a time like this, you're still worried about that brat's life or death? Since he dared to do such a thing, he must've prepared for the worst. Think hiding is that hard? Didn't Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect vanish without a trace for so many years?"
"You're right. I'm just worrying too much."
Even though Yan had already reached the Soul Douluo level, possessed two hundred-thousand-year soul rings and two hundred-thousand-year soul bones, in Yue Guan's eyes, he was still just a child.
In Yue Guan's mind, Yan could've become a pillar of Spirit Hall.
He never thought things would turn out like this.
Now, he only hoped Yan would stay alive and not be found by Bibi Dong.
On the other side.
Yan, Shui Bing'er, and Ye Lingling had arrived at the Ice Bound Forest.
Though it was just the three of them, the two girls weren't afraid at all.
Because Yan's true strength had already reached the Title Douluo level naturally, he feared no ten-thousand-year soul beasts.
After several days of searching, they discovered an Ice Soul Snow Wolf.
The Ice Soul Snow Wolf had a massive frame and immense power, combining speed, offense, and defense it was perfect for ice-attribute soul masters.
That Ice Soul Snow Wolf was about five meters long, with snow-white fur and eyes that gleamed with a ghostly blue light.
Yan sensed that it had around thirty thousand years of cultivation perfect as Shui Bing'er's sixth soul ring.
In theory, soul masters could absorb a soul ring under twenty thousand years as their sixth ring.
But Shui Bing'er had consumed immortal herbs and dragon bones, and had even absorbed a spirit-type skull over ten thousand years her spirit and body were both fine.
Yan believed she could completely withstand the energy impact of a thirty-thousand-year soul ring.
Just then, the Ice Soul Snow Wolf also noticed the three of them.
"Roar~"
With a deafening roar, the Ice Soul Snow Wolf suddenly pounced toward them.
Yan instantly released his Flame Lord Martial Soul.
"Just in time—let me show you the power of the Titan!"
