The teleportation marker was quickly established, located in a small spatial vortex in the center of the Ice God Palace's frozen lake.
This teleportation marker was completed jointly by Guangyu Wuxie and Tianxuan Snow Sable King.
Tianxuan Snow Sable King's spatial cultivation was taught by Guangyu Wuxie, based on aurora energy.
With this teleportation marker, Ma Hongjun could leave the Ice God Palace with peace of mind.
If the Ice God Palace encountered an insurmountable danger, Tianxuan Snow Sable King could use the teleportation marker to call for help from Guangyu Wuxie, simply by activating the marker with spatial power.
It was like lighting a lighthouse.
As long as Guangyu Wuxie was within the Douluo Continent's range, he could sense it.
He could control both the human forces and the soul beast Ice God Palace in the far north, ensuring complete safety.
With everything in order, Ma Hongjun left the far north with Bibi Dong and Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was, after all, a Title Douluo, and a level 94 Title Douluo at that. In the far north, apart from Shui Bing'er, no one else could suppress him.
In the end, Ma Hongjun decided to take him with him as well, as leaving
him behind would be a hindrance! They couldn't afford to be completely opposed to the Spirit Hall for the time being, otherwise it would cause too much bloodshed. Therefore, Ma Hongjun decided to let Chrysanthemum Douluo go back first.
After the battle with Bibi Dong in Frost City,
news of Ma Hongjun's strength and Bibi Dong's capture couldn't possibly stay hidden.
Bibi Dong would definitely have influence within the Spirit Hall, and the lower-level Soul Master elders had probably already taken action. The
Douluo Hall was also unpredictable.
At this time, it was best to let Chrysanthemum Douluo go back first to scout things out!
"After you go back, try not to expose yourself. Contact Elders like Demon Bear Douluo and see what Qian Daoliu is up to. Everything will be arranged after I return,"
Bibi Dong instructed. Chrysanthemum Douluo returned to the Spirit Hall alone.
Ma Hongjun took Bibi Dong straight to the Star Dou Great Forest.
According to the cooperative relationship between Bibi Dong and Ma Hongjun, Bibi Dong handed over the Spirit Hall's northern forces to the Ice God Palace for rule.
Ma Hongjun, in return, helped her obtain a Soul Pet and then released her back to the Spirit Hall.
Strictly speaking, Ma Hongjun had no hatred towards the Spirit Hall. In fact, he indirectly benefited from the Spirit Hall's generosity.
Both his great-grandfather Ma Ping and his father Ma Ming received subsidies from the Spirit Hall.
Generally speaking, the Spirit Hall's actions at the grassroots level were beneficial to the lower classes. Although they utilized the resources of the two great empires, this did not diminish the Spirit Hall's contribution; they spearheaded efforts to provide a path for lower-level spirit masters. In
reality, history is written by the victors!
Objectively speaking, in the original story, if the Spirit Hall had won and unified the continent, its development might not have been worse than if Tang San had won.
The Spirit Hall's problem lay in the checks and balances between Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong, lacking internal unity.
Furthermore, Bibi Dong, as the ruler, harbored a vengeful mentality towards the world due to her past persecution, possessing an excessive bloodlust and unfriendly attitude towards the world—not a good ruler.
Currently, the conflict between Ma Hongjun and the Spirit Hall is simply about who will unify the continent.
This involves power and ambition.
In reality, only a select few at the very top want to compete for these things. A small minority are driven by profit, while the majority simply desire a peaceful and tranquil life.
Ma Hongjun's Soul Pet Master system addresses the issue of profit-driven development, appealing to both the masses and Soul Beasts.
Therefore, his only rivals are those few at the top.
Eliminating them will lead to unification.
Bibi Dong is one such representative, but Ma Hongjun doesn't want to kill her; he wants to subdue her.
Bibi Dong herself doesn't crave the throne; she's more interested in improving her own strength.
This doesn't conflict with Ma Hongjun's ambition.
Therefore, helping Bibi Dong become a Soul Pet Master, gaining her acceptance of the Soul Pet Master system, and then publicly promoting it—given Bibi Dong's influence in the Soul Master world—would be equivalent to a celebrity endorsement.
Ma Hongjun and Bibi Dong flew side-by-side through the air.
The journey from the far north to the Star Dou Great Forest was still quite a distance.
On such a long journey, they needed to talk.
Ma Hongjun couldn't help but think of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang!
To be honest, Ma Hongjun had always had a question: how did Bibi Dong fall in love with Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang?
He couldn't understand it.
It wasn't that Ma Hongjun was belittling Yu Xiaogang.
While he did improve his value through studying theory, and his spirit of not bowing to fate was indeed admirable,
his theories only gained legitimacy after Tang San's rise to power.
Before that, he was labeled a waste, a disgrace, and a joke.
Even his birth into the powerful Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was merely a background, and even that background didn't give a waste like him much room to survive.
In contrast, Bibi Dong, the current Pope's personal disciple, possessed unparalleled talent.
Given his illustrious status and the circumstances of the time, how did Yu Xiaogang manage to meet Bibi Dong and develop such deep feelings for her? Was
it love at first sight, a love that penetrated to the bone?
Having seen Yu Xiaogang's appearance, Ma Hongjun finds it hard to imagine how far one could fall in love after just one meeting.
The Grandmaster wasn't like the Ma Hongjun of today—handsome, charismatic, dashing, and charming, captivating countless young women.
Like Tang San in his early days, both master and disciple were quite ordinary-looking.
In his youth, the Grandmaster wasn't yet a master, and his theoretical knowledge hadn't accumulated.
So, he essentially had nothing!
How did such a Grandmaster win Bibi Dong's favor?
Looking at Bibi Dong beside him, she remained as aloof as ever, but her breathtakingly beautiful face was flawless.
It seemed to make you feel that a perfect woman should look like her.
Who could be worthy of her?
She was truly beautiful, and the hint of sorrow in her eyes, coupled with her downcast brows, stirred a sense of pity in Ma Hongjun.
Especially knowing Bibi Dong's past and present lives, Ma Hongjun could better understand her inner suffering.
How could he bear to see such a beauty suffer?
Yu Xiaogang and Qian Xunji must be thorns in her heart.
Ma Hongjun desperately wanted to help her!
"Your Holiness, I want to ask, how did you and Master meet?"
Bibi Dong was taken aback; Ma Hongjun's question seemed very abrupt.
"Why are you asking this?"
"Can you tell me?"
Bibi Dong looked coldly at Ma Hongjun, unable to understand why he was asking this.
Ma Hongjun's status was that of a junior, and asking such a question of an elder was indeed inappropriate.
However, Ma Hongjun's current strength and perspective were on par with theirs, so he had the right to ask.
"It's all in the past, there's nothing to talk about!"
Bibi Dong seemed unwilling to recall, since Ma Hongjun and Yu Xiaogang were both from Shrek Academy.
Bibi Dong continued.
"In this world, I am all alone!"
With that, he accelerated and flew away!
