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

Chapter 25 Qian Daoliu's Scheme, Bibi Dong's Fury
When Bibi Dong's emotions fluctuated, Gui Mei lowered his head and tried to minimize his presence.

After a while, Bibi Dong gave the order:
"Ghost, go and bring Ning Qiuyang back to me."

Bibi Dong knew how proud Qian Renxue was, and she wanted to see what kind of person Ning Qiuyang was that could win Qian Renxue's heart.

Call ~
Ghost Douluo breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what mission he had to complete, it was better than enduring Bibi Dong's wrath here.

"Yes, Your Holiness, I will depart immediately."

Ghost Douluo actually had some doubts about Bibi Dong's order, as he was unsure of Bibi Dong's true opinion of Ning Qiuyang.

This left him unsure how to handle the situation when arresting Ning Qiuyang.

Does His Holiness the Pope intend to completely extinguish the young master's hopes, or is he going to observe the situation further before making a decision?
What a headache.

After the ghost left, Bibi Dong immediately sent someone to retrieve the files from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

She remembered that some time ago, Qian Renxue seemed to have sent someone back to check on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. It seemed that Qian Renxue had started thinking about Ning Qiuyang from that time onwards.

"Maximum innate soul power? Heh, his talent is not low. No wonder he can attract her attention."

Seeing Ning Qiuyang's innate soul power, Bibi Dong felt somewhat irritated.

The person Qian Renxue has chosen has such high talent. In contrast, Bibi Dong herself has chosen Yu Xiaogang, whose innate soul power is only half a level, which is practically equivalent to a waste.

As she continued reading, she discovered that Ning Qiuyang also possessed a mutated martial soul, which fueled her even greater indignation.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Bibi Dong really didn't want to see Qian Renxue overshadow her, even in this kind of situation.

"Many talented people end up unknown, unlike Xiao Gang, who had extremely poor talent, yet he was able to become a master admired by the world through his own efforts."

Thinking about it this way, Bibi Dong immediately felt much better.

Qian Renxue is still young; she can only judge people by their appearance.

As you continue reading, Bibi Dong's expression grows colder and colder.

"They were childhood sweethearts and had a close relationship since they were young, along with Ning Rongrong, the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's sect leader?"

"Is Dugu Bo's entry into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School due to his close relationship with the granddaughter of Poison Douluo?"

Finally, Bibi Dong slammed the case file heavily on the table.

"What a little lecher! At such a young age, she's already involved with more than one woman. Is she blind? How could she possibly fall for someone like that?"

Logically speaking, she should be happy that Qian Renxue has poor judgment, since it proves that Qian Renxue's judgment of people is even worse than hers.

But for some reason, a nameless anger surged up in her head.

"Hmph, if I had known he was such a wretched brat, I should have had Ghost teach him a lesson before bringing him here."

On a mountain peak deep within Wuhun City, Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Offering Hall, stood silently before the angel statue.

For many years he guarded the angel statue, waiting for the day when the angel god would reappear on earth.

"Great Elder, the Ghost has left Spirit City."

The voice from behind interrupted Qian Daoliu's thoughts.

"I see."

The man behind him hesitated and said, "High Priest, why did you tell His Holiness the Pope about the young master? Haven't you always tried to avoid letting the Pope interfere in the young master's affairs?"

Qian Daoliu slowly opened his mouth and said:

"Xue'er is the person most likely to become an Angel God in thousands of years. I cannot let anything or anyone interfere with her, not even if Xue'er herself falls in love."

“But I can’t do this myself. I can’t let Xue’er be hostile to me. I’ll just let Bibi Dong know.”

The man behind him said admiringly, "The High Priest is indeed very thoughtful. The Pope did indeed send people to capture Ning Qiuyang, just as you expected."

Qian Daoliu sighed.

“I don’t want it to be like this either. If possible, I would like Xue’er and her mother to be like ordinary mother and daughter, but unfortunately... Xue’er has had too hard these past years.”

The person behind him said nothing more and left the offering hall.

Alone, Qian Daoliu gazed silently at the angel sculpture. After a long while, he sighed softly.

"Xue'er, I hope you can understand my good intentions."...

Just as Ning Qiuyang left Xingluo City with the Zhu sisters, a figure slipped out of the Xingluo City Imperial Palace.

Dai Mubai patted his chest, still shaken.

"Fortunately, the palace is in chaos right now, which finally allowed me to escape."

He was actually faking being scared by the ghost, but that was largely an act.

He was indeed scared and did fall, but he was still conscious, so he clearly heard what the two ghosts were saying.

Dai Mubai knew he was caught in the predicament of the struggle for the throne, but he had never had a clear understanding of it before.

But from the two ghosts, he deeply understood that the struggle for the throne could result in death, and a terrible one at that.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the palace caused by the appearance of numerous ghosts, he seized an opportunity to slip out.

"We can't stay in the Star Luo Empire, or we'll be found sooner or later. We'll go to the Heaven Dou Empire."

After leaving the palace, Dai Mubai did not hesitate and immediately decided to head to the Heaven Dou Empire.

However, when it comes to choosing risks, he and Ning Qiuyang chose different paths.

Several days later, Ning Qiuyang and the Zhu sisters, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, arrived outside the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Brother Qiuyang, are we going to cross the Star Dou Great Forest?"

When no one else is around, Zhu Zhuyun prefers to call Ning Qiuyang "Brother Qiuyang".

Both she and Zhu Zhuqing knew that their destination was Wuhun City, which is why they asked that question.

Ning Qiuyang shook his head.

"No, we'll help Zhu Qing obtain the first spirit ring of the Netherworld Cat first, and then head to the Spirit Hall along the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest."

Zhu Zhuqing said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Qiuyang."

If she hadn't obtained her second martial soul, Zhu Zhuqing's soul power wouldn't even have reached level ten, let alone acquired a soul ring.

Zhu Zhuyun also said, "After I obtained the Mourning Staff Martial Soul, my soul power also increased, and I am one step closer to level 30."

Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing both possess the same innate soul power, at level seven.

The succession to the throne in the Star Luo Empire was unfair from the very beginning. The age gap between the princes was often several years, and without an extraordinary stroke of luck, it would be impossible to bridge such a large gap.

"Everyone be on high alert. The Star Dou Great Forest is no place to joke around."

Before entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Ning Qiuyang gave these instructions.

Zhu Zhuyun whispered in Zhu Zhuqing's ear:

"Little brother Qiuyang is surprisingly reassuring. He's not much older than you, yet he's so good at taking care of people."

Zhu Zhuqing pushed her sister away in disgust.

"Of course Qiuyang is very good. You don't need to tell me. Just don't always talk to Qiuyang in that strange voice and tone."

After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing followed closely behind Ning Qiuyang.

Zhu Zhuyun chuckled and quickly followed.

As Ning Qiuyang and his group entered the Star Dou Great Forest, Ghost Douluo also entered the Star Dou Great Forest from the opposite direction.

The Spirit Hall's sphere of influence is very wide, and its sources of information are countless.

However, Ning Qiuyang's whereabouts are quite secretive. Ghost Douluo only knows that Ning Qiuyang went to the direction of the Star Luo Empire some time ago.

Ghost Douluo planned to inquire about Ning Qiuyang's whereabouts from the local Spirit Hall once he arrived in the Star Luo Empire.

By sheer coincidence, Ning Qiuyang and Ghost Douluo walked almost in opposite directions.

They might very well have an unexpected encounter somewhere in the Star Dou Great Forest.
