Oscar's proposal was undoubtedly the best, but Bibi Dong had already arrived at the City of Slaughter a week ago. By now, she might not even be there anymore.
Even the King of Slaughter hadn't shown up, so there was no guarantee they hadn't already left.
Oscar said, "I received this information a week ago. Back then, we didn't have the cooperative relationship we do now, so I naturally didn't know whether you were allied with Bibi Dong."
Qian Daoliu frowned slightly. "No matter what, we cannot delay any further. I will personally lead a group to the City of Slaughter. Even if we can't solve the issue, we must prevent them from wreaking havoc on the world."
Oscar said helplessly, "Even you can't break through the killing domain within the City of Slaughter?"
Qian Daoliu shook his head. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have spared the King of Slaughter back then."
Qian Renxue suddenly said, "But Grandpa, the King of Slaughter is a Rank 99 Peerless Douluo. Even Second Grandpa and the others wouldn't be able to defeat him. If you want to keep them contained, wouldn't you have to stand guard outside the City of Slaughter forever?"
Qian Daoliu sighed helplessly. "Is there any better way?"
"Bibi Dong also possesses the God of Death Domain. Her strength within the City of Slaughter won't be suppressed. With her and the King of Slaughter together, we cannot attack directly. The only option is to guard outside and wait for them to come out on their own. That's the best strategy."
"Even if they don't come out, at least we can make sure they don't harm the world outside."
Oscar said, "I also have the God of Death Domain, but with my current strength, I can't handle both the King of Slaughter and Bibi Dong at the same time."
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu's expression darkened a little. "In the time ahead, aside from preparing for unifying the continent, you all need to focus on improving your strength as quickly as possible. That way, we can deal with the King of Slaughter once and for all."
"As for Bibi Dong… Xue'er, if possible, I want you to personally end this karmic entanglement in the future."
Qian Renxue nodded seriously. "Grandfather, I understand."
Qian Daoliu didn't waste any more words. "Time is of the essence. We first need to confirm the whereabouts of the King of Slaughter and the others. If they're still in the City of Slaughter, everything will be easier to handle. But if they've already left… we must find them before they cause any harm!"
Oscar nodded firmly. "In that case, I'll first escort Qian Renxue back, so that Qian Jun and Jiang Mo won't worry."
Qian Renxue wanted to protest, but after thinking it through, she realized that if she didn't return, her two grandfathers might think something had happened to her.
However, she and Qian Daoliu had never told Oscar that her protectors were Qian Jun Douluo and Jiang Mo Douluo. Yet, this young man knew that too?
It seemed she didn't know Oscar as well as she thought, while he already knew everything about her.
Perhaps that's exactly why he had the ambition to rule the continent.
Losing to Oscar, Qian Renxue suddenly felt there was no shame in it.
Qian Daoliu nodded. "Then take Xue'er back first."
After pausing for a moment, Qian Daoliu asked, "Speed is crucial. How many people can you take with you at once?"
Oscar understood that Qian Daoliu wanted him to use his Gate of Space to directly teleport them to the City of Slaughter.
Oscar replied, "If you don't resist, around ten people at once is no problem."
Qian Daoliu nodded. "Good. Go quickly and return swiftly."
With that, he extended two fingers like a sword and sent out a golden sword beam. In the next instant, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, Lion Douluo, and Lightwing Douluo appeared outside the main hall.
Golden Crocodile Douluo asked, "Big brother, what's happened?"
As the four walked into the hall, they saw Oscar holding Qian Renxue's hand as they stepped through a space gate and disappeared.
Golden Crocodile Douluo looked puzzled. "Big brother, was that Xue'er just now?"
Qian Daoliu nodded. "I'll explain everything later. For now, we're heading to the City of Slaughter. Bibi Dong has joined forces with the King of Slaughter."
With just one sentence, his brothers immediately understood the gravity of the situation. Before they could ask more, another Gate of Space opened beside Qian Daoliu, and Oscar calmly walked out.
Golden Crocodile and the others were stunned. Even Qian Daoliu couldn't help but sigh in admiration. This young man's ability was truly convenient.
Even he, the strongest under the heavens, couldn't teleport across such vast distances so easily.
Qian Daoliu said directly, "All of you, fully cooperate with Oscar. Do not resist in any way."
With their elder brother's command, the four obeyed without question,such was their absolute trust in him.
Oscar nodded at Qian Daoliu, then led them through the Gate of Space.
Just as Lightwing Douluo was about to step in, Qian Daoliu said, "Lightwing, you stay behind to guard Spirit Hall."
Lightwing Douluo hesitated awkwardly and withdrew the half of his foot that had already entered the gate.
He said, "Big brother, be careful."
Though he knew his brother's group could likely sweep through the entire continent, decades of brotherhood made the words of concern slip out naturally.
Qian Daoliu nodded and entered the gate with the others.
Watching it close, Lightwing Douluo pondered. Since Bibi Dong and the King of Slaughter had joined forces and even his brother was worried, something serious was clearly about to happen.
He shouted, "Someone, summon all the elders immediately! I have an important announcement!"
Outside, a Holy Knight answered respectfully, "Yes, Fifth Worship!"
Inside the Gate of Space, Qian Daoliu and the others seemed to be in an endless void. Fortunately, they were all top-level experts, the weakest being level ninety-seven, so they didn't feel as disoriented as Qian Renxue had earlier.
Before anyone could speak, a new space gate opened in front of them. Oscar stepped out calmly, and the others followed.
They emerged in a small town,the entrance to the City of Slaughter.
Seeing their surroundings, even Golden Crocodile and the others couldn't help but be amazed.
It had only taken a few breaths of time, yet they had traveled thousands of miles from Spirit Hall to the City of Slaughter.
Qian Daoliu relayed Oscar's intelligence and plans to his brothers.
After listening, their expressions turned grim. "Big brother, I told you long ago that you should've kept that woman Bibi Dong in Spirit Hall. Now that she's free, she can fly wherever she wants."
Qian Daoliu sighed. "Now is not the time to talk about that. Oscar, come with me into the City of Slaughter. The rest of you stand guard outside."
That single command, coupled with Oscar's mastery of spatial portals, put him on equal standing with the top-ranked Douluo present.
It was astonishing,a boy barely older than a child now stood shoulder to shoulder with the strongest beings on the continent.
After Qian Daoliu and Oscar entered the City of Slaughter, Golden Crocodile and the others whispered among themselves.
Lion Douluo said gossipingly, "Second brother, third brother, did you see that? That kid was holding Xue'er's hand. Don't tell me they're already…"
Golden Crocodile and Azure Luan Douluo exchanged looks. "Given his strength, he's worthy of her. But he's almost too strong,I'm worried Xue'er might be the one at a disadvantage."
Azure Luan nodded. "From what I've learned, that boy Oscar already has a girlfriend! Doesn't that mean Xue'er would have to share him?"
The three men continued gossiping, though their powerful spiritual senses remained alert to any danger.
Inside the City of Slaughter, Qian Daoliu and Oscar stood under the purple moonlight, suspended in midair. There was no trace of the King of Slaughter or Bibi Dong.
Oscar went to find Dugu Yan, who was cultivating in the Hell Arena. When she saw him, she smiled brightly.
Oscar asked, "Sister, have you noticed anything unusual lately?"
Dugu Yan shook her head. "Not at all. Everything in the City of Slaughter has been running normally. The King of Slaughter hasn't even mentioned Bibi Dong. If he had, she definitely wouldn't be ignoring me."
Oscar nodded. "Then they must've already left the City of Slaughter."
"Stay here and continue cultivating. If there's danger, use the sausage I gave you to escape and find me."
Dugu Yan chuckled. "Got it, I'll be careful. Go do what you need to do."
Oscar nodded, ready to leave, when Dugu Yan suddenly said teasingly, "Why do you smell like a woman? Did you sneak around behind my back?"
Oscar looked embarrassed. "Of course not. Earlier, due to special circumstances, I was with Qian Daoliu's granddaughter, Qian Renxue. Qian Daoliu is waiting for me outside right now."
Dugu Yan's eyes narrowed. "I see. Well, go then. But if you dare fool around, I'll…" She made a crushing gesture with her fingers, making Oscar shiver.
He quickly pecked her lips. "Don't worry. I'll explain everything later. I wouldn't dare cheat."
Then Oscar left the Hell Arena, returned to the purple moonlight, and shook his head at Qian Daoliu. "We were too late."
Hearing that, Qian Daoliu's face darkened. "The worst outcome, indeed."
"Let's go. Since waiting here is useless, we need to track them down as soon as possible."
They exited the City of Slaughter, where Golden Crocodile and the others immediately approached.
Golden Crocodile asked, "Big brother, how is it?"
Qian Daoliu shook his head. "The King of Slaughter isn't there anymore. They must be plotting something major."
He turned to Azure Luan Douluo. "Third brother, you stay here and wait. If they return, stall them as long as possible."
Azure Luan nodded. "Understood."
Then Qian Daoliu turned to Oscar. "Let's go back."
Oscar opened another space gate, and before stepping through, Qian Daoliu reminded, "Third brother, your safety comes first."
Azure Luan nodded. "I understand."
Inside Spirit Hall, Lightwing Douluo had just gathered all the major elders,Demonic Bear Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, Snake Spear Douluo, Thorn Pig Douluo, and Spirit Kite Douluo.
All those who weren't currently on missions were present. They looked at Lightwing Douluo and asked, "Fifth Worship, what's the emergency?"
Lightwing nodded, but before he could speak, a space gate appeared beside him.
All the elders immediately became alert, only to relax when they saw Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile, Lion Douluo, and Oscar step out.
"Your Holiness…"
Qian Daoliu looked around the hall full of elders, which saved him time. He immediately explained the severity of the situation.
After listening, all the elders were shocked. They hadn't expected that the former Pope, who had only just abdicated, was now linked to the King of Slaughter,the same figure behind the recent evil spirit master chaos.
Now, they were being ordered to march against their former leader.
Still, they felt no hesitation. After all, Spirit Hall was their livelihood, and the Pope's seat had merely changed hands.
It was easier to pledge loyalty to Qian Daoliu, who had guided them since youth.
One by one, under Qian Daoliu's command, the elders knelt on one knee and said, "We obey Your Holiness's decree."
Led by Golden Crocodile Douluo, the worshippers and elders left the hall, immediately beginning their search for Bibi Dong and the King of Slaughter.
Qian Daoliu turned to Oscar. "Spirit Hall will also issue a wanted order, but since your Sword Sect holds great influence across the continent, I'll need you to assist as well."
Oscar smiled. "It's my duty."
Then, in front of Qian Daoliu, Oscar ate a Clone Sausage. Two identical Oscars appeared, both smiling. One handed a brocade box to Qian Daoliu.
"This is one of my spirit abilities. After consumption, it grants a clone identical in strength to the original. It should be useful to you."
Qian Daoliu took the box, seeing a dozen glowing sausages inside. He was no longer skeptical, only deeply impressed by the miracle before him.
With Oscar's sausages, Spirit Hall's number of Titled Douluo could double, and he himself could become two Rank 99 Peerless Douluo.
If Oscar knew what he was thinking, he'd probably be speechless. Qian Daoliu assumed each sausage could only be eaten once, but in truth, as long as his spiritual power was strong enough, he could consume all fifteen himself.
Oscar didn't bother explaining. Some things were better left for others to discover.
He left a clone behind. "The clone shares the same consciousness as the main body. If anything comes up, you can communicate with me through it."
With that, Oscar opened another space gate and departed.
Or perhaps he didn't truly leave, for the clone remained, still conversing with Qian Daoliu.
Once again, Qian Daoliu sighed in admiration. Oscar truly was a terrifying talent,no wonder he possessed all ten-thousand-year spirit rings.
