"Is it all over?"
This truly had been a terrifying battle.
When the gray deathly aura in the sky slowly dispersed, the entire Spirit Hall lay in ruins.
Not to mention the more than ten thousand low-ranked Spirit Masters who had been sacrificed earlier—even among the Spirit Saints and Spirit Douluo ranks, the casualties numbered over a thousand.
Including that Demon Bear Douluo who had been hammered to death by Ye Fei earlier, at least three Titled Douluo had fallen in this war.
"I think… it's time for me to leave this place too."
After finishing everything, Yu Xiaogang clearly didn't intend to stay in Spirit Hall a moment longer.
He made an obvious show of being in a hurry to go.
But Bibi Dong didn't even spare her former lover a single glance.
Instead, she silently walked to Ye Fei's side, her cold eyes fixed on the old angel whose clavicle had been pierced through.
"Grandmaster, please go ahead! We still have a lot to deal with here. No need to stay for a meal!"
Ye Fei had never had any good feelings toward Yu Xiaogang.
He had even considered slapping him to death right then and there.
But since the man had fought alongside them just now and even been of some help,it didn't seem right to kill him immediately after—that would be biting the hand that helped you.
Besides, there was still a huge mess in front of him waiting to be cleaned up. Ye Fei really didn't have the time.
"Hehe, then I'll take my leave."
Yu Xiaogang turned around, transforming once more into a golden dragon, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
However, there was one small detail that everyone overlooked—the moment Yu Xiaogang turned, a faint red light flashed across his eyes.
Just as Qian Xunji was annihilated earlier,a nearly invisible thread of black light had entered the golden dragon's nostrils.
It was Qian Xunji's source power.
Though such a small amount of soul power was nowhere near enough for him to form a new clone,it was enough to subtly influence a host's will.
Sure enough, after leaving Spirit Hall, Yu Xiaogang began to feel a strange aura stirring inside his body.
But with his Golden Holy Dragon Spirit protecting him, he didn't pay it much mind.
He had already arranged to meet Liu Erlong in a safe area,so he hurried away.
As for Bibi Dong, she hadn't looked at Yu Xiaogang even once during the battle.
So now, the only woman in Yu Xiaogang's mind was Liu Erlong—the woman who had waited for him, foolishly and faithfully, for more than ten years.
However, soon after this group's departure,a rumor about Spirit Hall began to spread rapidly throughout the entire Douluo Continent—
"Have you heard? Spirit Hall is gravely wounded—it's about to fall!"
This message was jointly released by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Shrek Academy.
On one hand, it was to raise their own reputation;on the other, to aid their respective developments.
And judging by the situation in Spirit Hall's branch halls, many high-level Spirit Masters had indeed been recalled recently.
They claimed it was to attend some "important meeting."
But everyone knew the truth—that battle had cost them over ten thousand Spirit Masters.
If they didn't replenish their numbers quickly, Spirit Hall's stability would crumble.
At the same time, Spirit Hall's forces in various regions had begun to noticeably withdraw.
Gradually, this rumor was accepted by nearly everyone on the Douluo Continent.
——
In the northern part of the Heaven Dou Empire, there was a small town.
It was originally called Tianxuan Town, rebuilt from an ancient fortress.
Though it no longer held a large garrison, its facilities remained intact—the most famous of which was the Water Prison.
After being passed around and relocated several times, the senior expert Yang Wudi had been locked up here.
That day, a young man with blue hair arrived in town.
He was strikingly handsome, attracting the attention of many young women and married ladies alike.
This youth was, of course, Tang San.
He didn't bother with any disguise—he came alone, straight to the Water Prison.
There, more than fifty Heaven Dou Empire guards stood watch.
"Who goes there?"
"The Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect—Tang San."
"Ah?!"
"Surround him!"
Of course, these guards knew exactly why Tang San had come.Their superiors had already ordered them to keep Yang Wudi under strict watch—he was personally marked for imprisonment by Spirit Hall.
But Tang San remained calm and unhurried.He simply took out a token and tossed it toward the lead guard.
Clang!
The guard caught it, and upon seeing what it was, immediately broke into a cold sweat.
Before all his men, he dropped to one knee.
"An imperial command token! Seeing the token is as seeing His Majesty himself!"
What?!
Why did Tang San have the new Heaven Dou Emperor's imperial token?
Wasn't the Clear Sky Sect supposed to be enemies of the Heaven Dou Empire?Could it be…?
"Kneel before His Majesty's envoy!"
The guards didn't care about politics—they only recognized authority.
"Bring Senior Yang Wudi out immediately, and prepare a room. I'll be treating his injuries."
"As you command, Lord Tang!"
The world truly was absurd.
There are no eternal enemies, and no eternal friends—only eternal interests.
Prince Xue Xing had recently succeeded to the throne and donned the imperial crown.
But when news of Spirit Hall's devastation spread,the Clear Sky Sect secretly reached out to him.
Given the royal family's prior ties to Tang San,it wasn't hard for them to establish cooperation again.
Today's rescue of Yang Wudi was the Heaven Dou Empire's way of testing the waters—to see if Spirit Hall had truly fallen.
Meanwhile, the Clear Sky Sect's strength now stood at the very peak of the entire continent.
Especially with the news that Shrek Academy's Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang had gone from "waste" to "genius,"and was now preparing to rebuild the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
In just half a month, one bad piece of news after another had struck Spirit Hall.
And yet, the Hall itself had made no response—as if it had truly surrendered.
——
Spirit Hall, Pope's Hall.
After the last great battle, the place was a wreck.
Repairs alone would take at least half a year.
Bibi Dong still held the title of Pope—but the one who truly held power now was Ye Fei.
"Oh? Yang Wudi's already been rescued? Tang San really works fast," Ye Fei said with a faint smile as he read the report.
He opened the envelope, glanced through the message, then handed it to Bibi Dong beside him.
She looked at him with clear irritation.
"You brat, I already told you—I'm giving this position to you. Did you think I was joking?"
It turned out Bibi Dong had long intended to abdicate.
Everyone in Spirit Hall now knew of Ye Fei's true strength.
If he wanted the Pope's throne, no one would object—no one dared to.
But Ye Fei simply refused.
"You expect me to sit here every day grinning at a bunch of strangers? What I want is a free life."
Seeing Bibi Dong's slight look of reproach, Ye Fei walked forward and gently took her delicate jade hand.
"For now, our dear Pope will have to trouble herself a bit longer—you're good at this kind of work."
Truth be told, despite being a puppet all these years,Bibi Dong had mastered every detail of Spirit Hall's operations.
And right now, when everything needed rebuilding, changing leaders wasn't wise.
"So, what are you planning to do about the Heaven Dou Empire?"
