Bibi Dong's Choice, Severely Punish the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
Chu Xuan dragged the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's spy back to Pope Hall halfway up the mountain.
He entered the main hall and promptly threw the man down.
"God Child, what is this?"
Seeing him return with someone in tow, Bibi Dong already had a good idea.
Probably another spy.
"A Heaven Dou Imperial Family Shadow Guard who infiltrated Spirit Hall Academy."
"There are too many holes in Spirit City's defenses. You need to pay more attention to them."
Chu Yu walked over to one side and sat down, speaking earnestly.
He had spent two days looking around and only just found another spy. That was far too inefficient.
No one else had triggered any choices either, which left him a little frustrated.
Why hadn't that old fox, the God of Destruction, sent down a God-Given Soul Ring yet?
If the God-Given Soul Ring arrived, it should trigger a choice and let him rake in another windfall.
Bibi Dong rose to her feet. "Your lesson is well deserved, Lord God Child. Spirit Hall will step up patrols and thoroughly investigate anyone suspicious."
"The Heaven Dou Imperial Family's Shadow Guards are unusual. They answer directly to Xue Ye."
"Their appearance means there may be more Shadow Guards in the city. We need to search thoroughly."
Bibi Dong explained the Shadow Guards' background clearly.
The Shadow Guards were classified information to many people, but to Spirit Hall's upper ranks, they had never been a secret.
Every Heaven Dou Shadow Guard was an expert in assassination and intelligence gathering.
They specialized in doing the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's dirty work.
Their mission success rate was as high as ninety-eight percent.
It could be said that once the Shadow Guards were deployed, there was nothing they couldn't accomplish.
Their disguises were also highly sophisticated. Without some special ability, it was hard to see through them at a glance.
Now that one Shadow Guard had been captured, the others would probably receive word soon.
"So we've stirred the grass and startled the snake?"
Chu Xuan smiled.
The Shadow Guards had special channels for communicating with one another.
When they were carrying out the same mission and someone suddenly went out of contact, the others would naturally suspect something.
They might then withdraw immediately, without leaving a single trace behind.
Bibi Dong said, "No, we should be luring the snakes out of their hole."
"With one Shadow Guard out of contact, the others might lose their composure."
"We can take this opportunity to catch them all in one net."
Chu Xuan nodded slightly.
As expected of the foremost iron lady, she really was sharp.
"Then I'll leave the capture of the Heaven Dou Shadow Guards to you. Also, it's time you gave me a solution."
Bibi Dong's heart tightened.
She knew he was talking about Yu Xiaogang.
At the thought of that old scumbag, the hatred in her heart nearly burned through heaven and earth.
"Lord God Child, I've made my choice."
"I've already sent people specifically to find Yu Xiaogang. I won't kill him outright, but I'll make him wish he were dead."
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan must pay a price as well. Spirit Hall is attacking their businesses, and I absolutely won't let them have an easy time!"
"I want Yu Xiaogang to watch with his own eyes as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan declines and is destroyed!"
Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Good. That was somewhat in line with his expectations.
If Bibi Dong still had feelings for Yu Xiaogang, he really wouldn't mind replacing the Pope.
In Spirit Hall now, he had the final say.
With the gods backing him, who would dare defy his orders?
"You're clever. I hope you handle this properly and leave no hidden dangers behind."
"Yes, Lord God Child."
Bibi Dong lowered her head.
As Pope, she did feel a little strange showing such respect to a youngster.
But when she thought of his identity and his current cultivation, she swallowed everything she had to say.
It had only been a few days since he became the God Child, yet his Soul Power had already reached level forty.
If he received a God-Given Soul Ring, his Soul Power would surely soar.
Chu Xuan's path of growth was absolutely impossible to replicate or predict.
No one knew how powerful he would be tomorrow.
"Lord God Child, would you like me to arrange a place for you at Spirit Hall Academy?"
A thought occurred to Bibi Dong.
Chu Xuan was certain to become a god someday.
Although she was the Rakshasa God's inheritor, once she reached the Divine Realm, she would probably have to take orders from Chu Xuan too.
The sight of the gods' projections had shaken her deeply.
Even among gods, there were differences in rank and status!
It was essential to cling to a powerful backer's thigh early.
"Oh? Why arrange that for me?"
Chu Xuan was a little curious. Bibi Dong seemed to have changed quite a bit.
At least, she showed none of the Pope's lofty, superior manner in front of him.
Like Qian Daoliu and the others, she was very humble.
She didn't dare bare her teeth at all.
Bibi Dong said, "Lord God Child, you're young, but spending so much time at the Worship Hall must get lonely."
"Spirit Hall Academy is lively and full of people. You could experience the academy's atmosphere and pass some time."
The reason sounded plausible enough.
At Chu Xuan's current age, it really would be best for him to attend school.
Chu Xuan had intended to refuse. He had no interest in Spirit Hall Academy.
But on second thought, Bibi Dong had given him a new idea.
If he wanted to trigger more choices, the key was to have more dealings with the original story's central characters.
The protagonist's group, for example, or some of the villains.
Getting close to those people would give him a better chance of triggering choices.
Just as he had triggered more choices here by interacting with Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong.
If he approached Tang San and the others, the chances would be even higher.
Besides, Tang San was a child of destiny. Chu Xuan really wanted to see how long it would take him to toy Tang San to death.
Now that he had become the Spirit Hall God Child, he naturally wouldn't stand by and watch Tang San destroy Spirit Hall.
Spirit Hall was now his power base, his personal property.
Anyone who dared covet it would be beaten to death.
"There's no need for Spirit Hall Academy. I'll be leaving Spirit City for a while after some time."
"Perform well, and perhaps I can give you an interesting gift before I leave."
Bibi Dong was overjoyed.
Chu Xuan was very likely the God of Creation's reincarnation.
A gift from him certainly wouldn't be ordinary.
It would probably help her greatly, perhaps even allowing her to shed her mortal body and be reborn.
With that, Chu Xuan left Pope Hall and walked toward his own palace.
Bibi Dong summoned Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo and told them to prepare to capture the Heaven Dou Shadow Guards.
They were spies who had infiltrated Spirit City anyway, so there was no issue with capturing them.
Even if Xue Ye found out, he would have to swallow the loss in silence.
Everyone had a tacit understanding about spies.
After all, even Spirit Hall had a great many spies within other factions.
They simply hadn't been found.
Factions such as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan likewise planted spies.
Only with spies could they obtain firsthand information.
Otherwise, they might die one day without even knowing how.
"Huo Ling."
Inside his bedchamber, Chu Xuan called out.
Elder Huo Ling appeared and said respectfully, "What are your orders, God Child?"
Chu Xuan took out a map. "Go to the area around this Holy Soul Village and look for a cave. There's a special Blue Silver Grass inside. Find it and bring it back."
"Be careful. There may be a powerful expert nearby."
Elder Huo Ling was stunned. It was just a Blue Silver Grass, yet the God Child was being so cautious?
And a mere Blue Silver Grass actually had a powerful expert protecting it?
Live long enough and you see everything.
No, he had said it was a special Blue Silver Grass, which meant it had a special use.
