Dozens of days later, Yan arrived at Sky Water City together with Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling.
Yan knew that with Bibi Dong's personality, she definitely wouldn't let things go and would send people to look for him.
Therefore, to avoid implicating Sky Water Academy, he didn't go to the academy with the two girls but stayed in a small inn within Sky Water City instead.
In the evening, Shui Bing'er came looking for Yan.
"Brother Yan, the dean gave me a letter, said it's from His Highness the Crown Prince and asked me to pass it to you."
"The Crown Prince? Xue Qinghe?"
"Yeah. I also found it strange. Why would he write you a letter?"
"Let me take a look."
After reading the letter, Yan grinned.
"Brother Yan, what's written in the letter? Can I know?"
"Of course, you can read it yourself."
After reading the letter, Shui Bing'er looked a bit delighted.
"Brother Yan, does His Highness the Crown Prince also have spies inside Spirit Hall? He seems to know you've offended Bibi Dong and says he'll provide protection for you. His words are full of intent to recruit you."
"Mm, I understand what he means."
"He also says he knows a secret about Spirit Hall and invites you to discuss it in person. It might just be a pretense to recruit you face to face."
Yan shook his head.
"No, the secret he mentioned really does exist."
"Really? Then are you going to meet him?"
"Mm. It's good to meet him once. That way, Bibi Dong's anger won't be directed at your three academies—Sky Water, Blazing Fire, and Divine wind."
Shui Bing'er looked a bit confused.
"Brother Yan, does this matter have anything to do with our three academies?"
"Yes. If Bibi Dong turns against the Heaven Dou Empire, any force that doesn't submit to her will be eliminated. Even Emperor Xue Ye won't be able to protect you. But if the one ruling the Heaven Dou Empire is Xue Qinghe, then the situation will be different."
After hearing this, Shui Bing'er was even more puzzled.
"Even Emperor Xue Ye can't do it, yet His Highness the Crown Prince can?"
Yan nodded and smiled:
"Bing'er, the secret Xue Qinghe mentioned in the letter might be his own secret. Actually, I already know. There's no harm telling you now. You'll find out eventually anyway."
"What is it?"
Shui Bing'er looked at Yan expectantly.
Yan continued:
"The real Xue Qinghe has long passed away. The one behind that appearance is actually Spirit Hall's Young Master Qian Renxue."
"What? That…"
Shui Bing'er found it hard to believe.
"Bing'er, this is a secret of Spirit Hall. Very few people know. Qian Renxue infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire just to seize its power and fulfill Spirit Hall's plan of unifying the Douluo Continent."
"Your Spirit Hall really wants to wipe out both the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires?"
"Mm. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. The two great empires have always been at odds. If not for Spirit Hall's checks and balances, who knows how many wars would've broken out? In war, it's always the commoners who suffer, while the nobles continue to live in luxury. Spirit Hall wants to unify the Douluo Continent and end all wars, so the common people can live in peace."
After hearing Yan's words, Shui Bing'er seemed to understand.
Their Sky Water Academy followed the principle of being open to commoners, just like the academies under Spirit Hall.
Spirit Hall's actions were aimed at safeguarding the interests of ordinary people, which could be seen as maintaining world peace.
However, thinking of Bibi Dong, Shui Bing'er still felt a bit puzzled.
"Brother Yan, Pope Bibi Dong also represents Spirit Hall, so between her and Qian Renxue, who is the true master of Spirit Hall?"
"Actually, there are two main factions within Spirit Hall. One is led by Pope Bibi Dong, and the other by Qian Renxue's grandfather Qian Daoliu. But in the end, Spirit Hall still belongs to the Qian family."
"I see. Then if you join Qian Renxue's faction, Bibi Dong won't be able to trouble you anymore."
"Mm. I lost my parents when I was young. It was Spirit Hall that took me in and nurtured me. I can break free from that madwoman Bibi Dong's control, but I can't abandon Spirit Hall."
Shui Bing'er understood what Yan meant.
"Brother Yan, then will you help Qian Renxue seize control of the Heaven Dou Empire?"
"Mm. By launching a single coup, we can change the ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire, minimizing the losses caused by war and sparing the people from its suffering. That's the reason Qian Renxue has been undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire for so many years."
Shui Bing'er nodded to show she understood.
"Then when do you plan to go to Heaven Dou City?"
"Tomorrow. I'll stay in Heaven Dou City for a while. Everything I just discussed with you is confidential. Don't tell anyone yet."
"Mm, I understand. Then be careful on the road."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Early the next morning, Yan left Sky Water City and headed for Heaven Dou City.
Yan knew that Emperor Xue Ye had originally been gravely ill and bedridden, but suddenly recovered. It couldn't be that simple.
Even if Tang San had returned, he wouldn't be able to detoxify Emperor Xue Ye, because Dugu Bo's herb garden no longer existed.
With the Strength Clan wiped out, and no Tai tan to connect them, Tang San was unlikely to come into contact with Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan. Without Yang Wudi, there was no way to detoxify Emperor Xue Ye.
Therefore, there was only one possibility—Ning Fengzhi used a secret technique to heal Emperor Xue Ye, restoring him completely.
Once Emperor Xue Ye regained control of the Heaven Dou Empire, Qian Renxue's plan would face tremendous challenges. It might even be exposed early, failing just before success.
Moreover, during this time, Bibi Dong might declare war on the Heaven Dou Empire and take it by force.
Bibi Dong's ultimate goal was to destroy the Spirit Hall and even the entire world. Yan would not let her succeed so easily.
So, no matter what, he must help Qian Renxue take control of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Yan walked alone, stepping forward steadily.
A sudden, intense soul power fluctuation surged from behind, instantly breaking the surrounding calm.
Yan abruptly turned, his eyes sharp as torches, locking onto two rapidly approaching figures.
When his vision cleared, he couldn't help but pause slightly, then curved his lips into a complex smile.
The newcomers were none other than Ma Hongjun and Flender!
Both of them stared at Yan, eyes full of murderous intent, as if they wanted to devour him whole.
Yan had single-handedly thwarted the Shrek Seven Devils, killed Dugu Bo in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with Yue Guan, and defeated the so-called Golden Iron Triangle Flender, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang.
All this undoubtedly made Ma Hongjun and Flender hate him to the bone.
Now, meeting face to face, the atmosphere instantly turned tense.
Flender looked around, trying to see if Yan had any companions with him. But aside from the occasional flying bird and the gently swaying trees, there was nothing unusual.
Faced with Flender's actions, Yan showed no fear. Instead, he grinned.
This was the perfect opportunity to devour Ma Hongjun.
"What are you looking for? Worried that I brought reinforcements, or scared you can't beat me one-on-one? Let me tell you the truth I'm alone here. If you really have the guts, then come at me."
