Chapter 541: Bibi Dong's Submission
Hearing this, Bibi Dong's gaze toward Huo Yuhao grew intense.
"You can really take us out of the Netherworld and lead us to take revenge on Tang San?
"You brought Xiaoxue out of the Netherworld and back to the Douluo Continent, but taking one person out is very different from taking all of us. The difficulty is not the same, is it?"
Her hatred for Tang San burned like an unquenchable fire.
If there was truly a way to leave the Netherworld and hunt him down, she would be ecstatic.
After all, if it weren't for Tang San, how could she have ended up like this?
Huo Yuhao said, "Rest assured, since I've said it, my teacher and I will make it happen. However, in return, you must swear your loyalty to me."
Bibi Dong let out a soft laugh. "After all these years, you are the second person to demand my loyalty. The first person who did... I killed him.
"So tell me, are you truly confident that you can make me submit?"
Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed slightly.
As the former Empress of the Spirit Empire, Bibi Dong was far more cunning than Qian Renxue.
Her words were a test, an attempt to gauge whether he was truly a reincarnated Divine King.
After all, even in the Divine Realm, true Divine Kings were extremely rare.
As for the first person who had demanded her loyalty? That was none other than Qian Xunji, whom she had personally slain.
According to Douluo Dalu 1 and its extra chapters, Qian Xunji's brilliant "master plan" was to impregnate Bibi Dong, believing their child would have an innate divine bloodline strong enough to inherit the Angel God's position, allowing the Angel Clan to rise to greatness once more.
Qian Xunji had expected her to submit loyally to this grand plan.
Instead, she slaughtered him and didn't stop there.
She sought to obliterate the Angel Clan itself, attempting to erase their legacy entirely.
As for Qian Xunji's so called "dying confidence" in the extra chapters? That was likely just an act.
Since his fate was sealed, begging for mercy would have been pointless.
Instead, he probably pretended to be unfazed, hoping to leave a lasting impression on Bibi Dong's mind.
"Bibi Dong, take this, and you will understand the source of my confidence."
Huo Yuhao's eyes turned ice blue as he extended his hand.
A cluster of Ice God's Sub Flame materialized in his palm.
It shifted between forms sometimes mist, sometimes solid ice, sometimes flowing water each transition profoundly intricate.
Within the flame, fragments of runes flickered intermittently, as if they contained a lost divine language.
In an instant, the palace walls and floor were covered in layers of frost.
A chill pierced through the air, spreading a bone deep cold throughout the hall.
This was the most potent Sub Flame Huo Yuhao could produce at the moment.
If not for the need to restrain Bibi Dong, he wouldn't have gone this far.
Because Bibi Dong was the type who feared power, not virtue.
If he showed weakness, she would only press him harder, perhaps even rallying the spirits of the Spirit Hall and Angel Clan to challenge him.
However, if he displayed absolute confidence and force, she would calculate her odds and for the sake of her own survival choose to yield.
After all, Qian Daoliu was a perfect example.
Due to his overwhelming strength, even Golden Crocodile Douluo dared to openly reprimand Bibi Dong and attempt to seize power from her.
Yet, at that time, Bibi Dong endured the humiliation, because she knew that directly clashing with Qian Daoliu could jeopardize her grand ambitions.
"This... This is the aura of a Divine King?"
Bibi Dong stared at the flame in astonishment, her body uncontrollably trembling.
She had originally suspected that her daughter had been deceived.
After all, for some unknown reason, Qian Renxue's inherited memories were incomplete.
Even though Bibi Dong had explained much to her, she had still harbored doubts.
But now she realized she had been utterly mistaken.
She had greatly underestimated Huo Yuhao.
If he were not a Divine King reincarnated, then how could he possibly exude such an aura?
Even if she escaped the Netherworld, she had no confidence in defeating Tang San.
Ten thousand years had passed Tang San had surely grown even stronger.
But if this youth was truly a Divine King, then the possibility of defeating Tang San was real.
She nodded slowly, a smile appearing on her face.
"Tower Master Huo, you truly are a reincarnated Divine King. I am willing to accept your Sub Flame. But before that, I have a question Qian Renxue told me that you and Tang San are also enemies?"
His aura did not match that of the Five Great Divine Kings recorded in her inherited knowledge.
Clearly, if he was a reincarnated Divine King, he was an unknown one.
But then how had he developed a grudge against Tang San?
Huo Yuhao's brows furrowed slightly.
"Tang San wants to subjugate me, to turn me into a loyal hound of the Tang family.
"He has already tried multiple methods to achieve this. Because of that, I will never stand on his side."
This wasn't even a lie.
Tang San had indeed attempted to subdue him.
His original plan for Huo Yuhao was essentially a "dog training program".
Bibi Dong was momentarily surprised.
As the former Rakshasa God, she had the ability to detect falsehoods, and she could sense no deception in Huo Yuhao's words.
So it was true.
Tang San had actually attempted to dominate him.
She sneered, her voice dripping with disdain.
"Tang San is nothing more than an ambitious and wicked schemer. This is not surprising at all. One day, he will regret ever trying to control you."
Well, that was ironic.
The former master of "Evil Intent" herself, the Rakshasa God, was now calling Tang San an evil schemer.
But thinking about it if we were purely comparing wickedness, even Bibi Dong couldn't surpass Tang San.
Huo Yuhao silently mocked Tang San in his heart, then flung the Sub Flame toward Bibi Dong.
The flame instantly fused with her soul, establishing a binding connection.
From now on, Bibi Dong could use this link to communicate with Huo Yuhao, regardless of distance.
On the other hand, Huo Yuhao could use it to monitor her loyalty.
If she ever betrayed him, the Sub Flame would immediately activate.
Suddenly, a holy light burst into the palace.
A figure with two pairs of angelic wings descended, his expression filled with urgency.
Bibi Dong froze, her eyes flashing with murderous intent.
"Qian Xunji?!"
Green light surged from her body, her killing intent palpable.
The winged man's face turned pale with terror.
"Your Majesty, I have urgent "
"DIE!"
Bibi Dong struck without hesitation a massive purple black scythe cleaving through the air.
Qian Renxue immediately intervened, raising her Angelic Sacred Sword.
Golden flames clashed against the purple black energy, sending shockwaves through the palace.
"Mother, you're mistaken. That's not Qian Xunji."
Indeed her madness was not just reflected in her daily torture of Yu Xiaogang.
It was also evident in her delusions.
Aside from Qian Renxue, she had mistaken countless angelic spirits for Qian Xunji.
"Mother, listen to me you've got the wrong person."
