Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 24 Bibi Dong is a little panicked
Inside the Star Luo Emperor's bedroom.

The moment the chilling aura appeared, Emperor Dai Yutian of the Star Luo Empire immediately regained consciousness.

"who."

Dai Yutian roared, and the Evil-Eyed White Tiger Martial Soul instantly possessed him.

"Dai Yutian, do you still remember me?"

Several sinister voices rang in his ears.

"It's you?" Dai Yutian was surprised, but remained calm.

"Dai Yuqing and Dai Yuhun, you two defeated men have been dead for so long, how dare you appear before me again?"

“Dai Yutian, although you have won, your descendants will be forever trapped in a cycle of fratricide. This is the price you pay for killing your brothers.”

Dai Yutian remained unmoved, even wearing a mocking smile.

"That's exactly what losers say. Don't you have any other tricks up your sleeve besides this pointless curse?"

Dai Yuqing and Dai Yuhun were surprised that when Dai Yutian saw them, he showed neither fear nor guilt.

They felt they hadn't lost unjustly; they didn't have Dai Yutian's heart of stone, nor his ruthless methods.

"Take another look outside."

Looking around, Dai Yutian saw a dense mass of illusory figures.

"These are the souls of our Dai and Zhu families. The system of succession to the throne has killed so many outstanding soul masters from our two families. This system should never have existed."

Dai Yutian sneered.

He finally understood why these wandering ghosts, who had been dead for countless years, would reappear in the world.

"You are all losers, and even worse, you are useless."

"Without the cruel system of imperial succession, how could my Star Luo Empire have lasted for so many generations and remained so powerful?"

"I will not only not abolish the current system of imperial succession, but I will make it even more brutal. Only princes who have been tempered by blood and fire are worthy of inheriting the throne of the Star Luo Empire."

The souls of the deceased fluctuated violently.

They hadn't expected Dai Yutian's will to be so firm, unwavering in the slightest.

……

Ning Qiuyang looked at the souls drifting out of the Star Luo Empire's palace and said to the Zhu sisters beside him:

"It seems they did not achieve their goal."

Zhu Zhuyun said indifferently, "Anyway, Zhu Qing and I are about to get out of this vortex. Whether they succeed or not has nothing to do with us."

After the souls of the dead left the palace, they gradually dissipated.

Ning Qiuyang noticed that many shadowy, illusory figures had appeared on the third level of his Ten Kings of Hell Tower.

"We should go."

Looking at the approaching dawn on the horizon, Ning Qiuyang said to Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun.

"Great, we can finally leave. Where are we going next?"

Ning Qiuyang was also thinking about this issue.

There are now two more divine tests remaining.

One task is to find the divine beast that guards Hell, and the other is to deliver the souls of the three upper sects, the Spirit Hall, and the two great empires.

Neither of the two divine tests is easy to pass.

Soul beasts suitable to be guardian beasts of the prison are all extremely powerful, and their locations are fraught with danger, making them not so easy to find.

As for the latter, most of them are easy to solve. However, the Haotian Sect is currently in seclusion, so it is not so easy to sneak into it, not to mention the Martial Soul Hall, which has many powerful experts.

After a moment's thought, Ning Qiuyang decided to complete the latter first.

"Let's go, let's go to Wuhun City first."

The Spirit Hall is teeming with Title Douluos, including quite a few Super Douluos, making it undoubtedly the most dangerous place.

However, Ning Qiuyang decided to tackle the most difficult challenges first, and then the rest would be easier.

……

Upon returning from the Heaven Dou Empire, Ghost Douluo immediately went to pay his respects to Pope Bibi Dong in Wuhun City.

"Your Holiness, the young master returned shortly after leaving the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, without delaying important matters."

Bibi Dong snorted coldly. "You certainly know how to defend her. Have you found out the things I asked you to ask?"

Bibi Dong was incredibly imposing, and even Ghost Douluo was somewhat trembling in her presence.

"The young master wouldn't say, and I didn't see either the Porcupine Douluo or the Serpent Spear Douluo. Only the Thousand-Pound Douluo spoke about it..."

"say what?"

Bibi Dong spoke calmly, as if she had known this would be the outcome all along.

"The Thousand-Pound Douluo said that only the Grand Elder can intervene in the young master's affairs; as for others..."

When talking about these other people, Ghost Douluo secretly glanced at Bibi Dong's expression.

Only after discovering that Bibi Dong was not angry did he continue:

"No one else has the right to interfere, and they said that if you want to know, go ask the High Priest."

Bibi Dong sneered.

Although she is now the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu has never relinquished the core power of the Spirit Hall.

The Spirit Hall's most powerful branch, the Hall of Offerings, has always obeyed Qian Daoliu's orders; even she, the Pope, has no say in the matter.

"Since he has said so, you should go and ask the High Priest."

"Huh?" Ghost Douluo exclaimed in surprise, "Me?"

If Ghost Douluo felt awe towards Bibi Dong, then he held Qian Daoliu in the highest esteem.

Every time Ghost Douluo saw Qian Daoliu, he felt like a mayfly seeing the blue sky. That unfathomable feeling made Ghost Douluo unable to muster any fighting spirit in front of Qian Daoliu.

Bibi Dong saw Ghost Douluo's fear and rebuked him:

"What are you afraid of? Don't worry, Qian Daoliu won't make things difficult for you in this matter."

"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."

After leaving the Papal Palace, Ghost Douluo dared to mutter to himself, "Why don't you want to see Qian Daoliu yourself?"

On the way, his good buddy Chrysanthemum Douluo greeted him, but Ghost Douluo seemed a little absent-minded, making Chrysanthemum Douluo think that his good buddy had changed his mind.

But when he returned to the Papal Palace, he was completely relaxed and chatted warmly with his old friend for a few minutes.

The changes left Chrysanthemum Douluo somewhat bewildered.

"What's wrong with Old Ghost? Why is he being so hot and cold towards me?"

"Your Holiness, the High Priest has indeed revealed the reason for the young master's departure."

A faint smile appeared on Bibi Dong's lips.

"what is the reason?"

Ghost Douluo said, "Young Master left the palace to find someone."

"who?"

Bibi Dong immediately pressed for an answer.

“A boy named Ning Qiuyang was born into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.”

Bibi Dong's eyes shifted dramatically. At that moment, she suddenly recalled many things, but she quickly forced herself to calm down and continued to press for answers:

"Why would she actively seek out someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? What's their relationship? Are they enemies or...?"

This was the first time Ghost Douluo had ever seen Bibi Dong's emotions change so drastically, so he quickly replied:
"Young Master and Ning Qiuyang shouldn't have any grudges. After she went to see Ning Qiuyang and came back, she always had a genuine smile on her face and often spaced out by herself."

Bibi Dong finally couldn't hold back anymore.

She thought of her past, which seemed so distant, yet also like it was just yesterday.

She was once attracted to a man from the Thunder Overlord Clan, and was even willing to give up her position as the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall for him.

Her behavior back then was just like Qian Renxue's now.

Thinking of that person makes me happy, but when I don't see him for a while, I miss him and often find myself lost in thought.

But what happened after that was like a nightmare for Bibi Dong.

She never imagined that Qian Renxue might end up on a very similar path to her.

Yu Xiaogang and Ning Qiuyang both came from the three upper sects. Is this the similar fate between mother and daughter?
Although she was very reluctant to admit that Qian Renxue was her daughter, it was a fact that she could not deny no matter what.
