Qian Renshang and Gu Yuena supported each other, dragging their battered and nearly exhausted bodies, as they struggled towards Villa No. 2.
Their steps were heavy and faltering, each step seemingly exhausting all their strength.
Qian Renshang's clothes were already tattered, stained with blood, and Gu Yuena's once beautiful face was now filled with exhaustion and pain.
Their panting was particularly clear in the silence.
Finally arriving at the villa's door, Qian Renshang trembled as he reached out, struggling to push open the door.
Entering the room, they practically collapsed to the floor with heavy thuds.
Leaning weakly against the wall, they gasped for breath, their eyes filled with relief at surviving such a close call… they had truly almost died!
"Luckily, that woman was too afraid of death… otherwise, it would have been really dangerous.
Although Di Tian can indeed teleport his true form here, it takes too long… and the cost is enormous!"
"If she went all out, she could have killed both of us in a short time."
After regaining her composure, Gu Yuena spoke with a grave expression.
Her earlier calmness was mostly an act; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to scare Bibi Dong away.
"We really have to thank Uncle Di Tian this time… otherwise, it would have been really difficult."
Qian Renshang also spoke with lingering fear, feeling as if his entire body was about to shatter.
While Di Tian's possession had given him immense power, the price was also enormous; the excessive power almost burst him apart!
"By the way, just how strong is Uncle Di Tian?"
Qian Renshang suddenly asked, and Gu Yuena thought for a moment before answering seriously.
"He's incredibly strong. Di Tian is among the most outstanding beings in the Dragon Clan.
It's just that soul beasts can't become gods, otherwise, with his foundation, he could have become a god long ago!"
Although he can't become a god, his strength can still continue to improve... With 800,000 years of foundation, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the number one combat power among gods!"
"Unless you humans are level 99 peerless Douluo and have a divine artifact, you can't contend with him!"
Listening to Gu Yuena's analysis, Qian Renshang was secretly shocked.
He had thought that Di Tian was strong, but he didn't expect him to be this strong!
He couldn't help but feel a pang of envy.
If he had Di Tian's power, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state today!
"Qian Renshang... what are you going to do now?"
Gu Yuena suddenly looked at Qian Renshang with concern.
"That crazy woman has noticed you... if nothing unexpected happens, she'll attack you whenever she gets the chance.
Judging from your current strength, you'll have a hard time holding out!"
"Di Tian's reverse scale has already been used once... I won't be able to fool that crazy woman next time!"
Qian Renshang took a deep breath and made a decision!
"Let's go back to the Star Dou Great Forest!"
"Are you sure?"
Gu Yuena thought so too.
Compared to the human world, she still preferred staying in the Star Dou Great Forest.
She was just a little worried that Qian Renshang wouldn't be willing to slink back like this.
"I'm sure. I happen to have some things that I need to verify, and I need Uncle Di Tian and the others' help!"
Qian Renshang said in a deep voice, and Gu Yuena was a little curious.
"What is it?"
"I can't really say, I'll tell you when we get back to the Star Dou Great Forest, Sister Nana."
"Okay!"
So, the two decided to rest in their room for a while before setting off, and together they drank a whole bottle of the Spring of Life!
Then they circulated the power of Moon's Lament to quickly recover!
The battle with Bibi Dong and being possessed by Di Tian hadn't been without its benefits!
At this moment, Qian Renshang's soul power had reached level 76, even one level higher than Gu Yuena's.
This didn't mean that his talent was stronger than Gu Yuena's.
It was just that Di Tian's possession, while the powerful force was hard for him to withstand, indirectly expanded his meridians, and with the nourishment of the Spring of Life, the advancement was a natural progression !
Nothing happened that night!
When dawn broke, the two opened their eyes almost simultaneously.
"How's the recovery going, Sister Nana!"
Qian Renshang asked, and Gu Yuena thought for a moment before answering.
"About 80%... some injuries still need more time."
"I'm about 80% there too."
"Let's go!"
The two packed their belongings and left without alerting anyone!
They came quietly and left quietly!
...
...
Time flew by, and three days later!
Spirit City, Spirit Hall Headquarters!
Bibi Dong, her face grim, slowly stepped into the Papal Palace.
Her beautiful face was contorted with rage; her once bright eyes were now like bottomless pools, radiating a chilling light.
She clenched her teeth, her cheeks slightly puffed out, each step carrying a heavy weight of anger.
Even her magnificent papal robes couldn't conceal her fury.
Three days had passed!
She grew angrier the more she thought about it.
For a level 99 Peerless Douluo like herself to have failed to capture Qian Renshang, a mere seven-ring Soul Saint, was an utter disgrace!
"Damn it...damn it...damn it!"
"That brat definitely won't go far.
As long as he dares to step out of Heaven Dou City...I'll send someone to bring him back!"
Bibi Dong roared, her voice shrill and like a vengeful ghost!
"What's wrong with Your Holiness the Pope?
How did she become like this after only a few days?"
"She seems even more insane than before...sigh..."
Everyone in the hall, seeing her like this from afar, fell silent, not daring to approach her even slightly.
Those who usually fawned over her were now cowering to the side, not daring to even breathe.
A suffocating atmosphere permeated the entire Papal Palace.
No one dared to make a sound, fearing that they might anger the Pope who was in a rage and bring about their own demise.
Bibi Dong barely suppressed her anger, held a routine meeting as usual, resolved some political issues of the Spirit Hall, and then hurriedly announced the adjournment.
However, before leaving, she didn't forget to leave Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo behind.
"Yue Guan, Gui Mei!"
Bibi Dong's voice was deep. Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo immediately bowed.
"Your subordinates are here!"
"You don't need to do anything for the next while.
Just keep an eye on one person for me in the Heaven Dou Empire… If he dares to leave the Heaven Dou Empire, bring him back to me, life or death!"
Bibi Dong said in a deep voice.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were somewhat puzzled.
"Who is that person?"
"His Holiness the Pope!"
"Qian Renshang!"
Bibi Dong said firmly.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were dumbfounded.
As high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall, they knew that Qian Renshang was Bibi Dong's biological son.
But what was this order?
Life or death! That was a bit much!
"If you can't handle that guy… then contact me directly.
In any case, you must keep him here for me!"
Bibi Dong didn't bother explaining to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, simply issuing the order!
"Yes!"
The two didn't dare ask any more questions and set off immediately!
