Zhu Zhuqing Becomes Bibi Dong's Disciple
Amidst the slightly hesitant and scrutinizing gazes of the others, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes also flickered as she secretly observed the subtle changes in their expressions.
Then, without making a sound, she took two steps forward and bowed to Su Cheng Bibi Dong, saying, "Junior Zhu Zhuqing greets Your His Holiness the Pope."
Bibi Dong did not respond, but silently observed the girl in front of her, sensing the changes in her over the past year.
Zhu Zhuqing was not in a hurry, nor did she take the initiative to mention her previous promise to become a disciple, letting the other party's gaze, which seemed to be very real, sweep over her entire body.
She did not resist even the faint Spiritual Power contained within it. Instead, she slowly released the Killing Intent and changes in her domain, trying her best to show herself.
As her observations deepened, Bibi Dong grew increasingly alarmed and suspicious.
The girl's current situation is somewhat different from what she imagined.
Having been in the Slaughter City a year, she knew all too well what kind of state someone should be in.
His killing intent surged fiercely, his will was restless and unstable, and his Soul Power was full of impurities.
Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing's situation is different from that of ordinary people.
In just one year and one month, she completed nearly ninety battles, accomplishing in a little over a year what others might take more than two years to achieve.
Logically, the accumulated problems should be even more serious.
However, her foundation was exceptionally deep and solid, and even her Killing Intent was clear and pure, with almost no trace of madness.
Bibi Dong even saw a trace of herself from another world in the other person.
Although Zhu Zhuqing does not have the unique talent of Twin Martial Souls, in terms of Martial Soul quality alone, the Hell White Tiger is still stronger than the single Death Spider Emperor or Soul Devouring Spider Emperor.
In addition, her physical fitness is astonishingly strong.
"Immortal Herb?"
A thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
Bibi Dong then withdrew her gaze and said calmly, "I have heard about your performance over the past year, and it has been even more outstanding than I imagined. From now on, you will be another of my personal disciples."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing quickly changed her address, her expression unusually respectful, "Greetings, teacher."
Bibi Dong nodded, then calmly turned to look at Hu Liena standing beside her, "Na Na, this is Zhu Zhuqing, your future Junior Sister."
"Zhu Zhuqing greets Senior Sister."
"Ah? Oh, hello, my Hu Liena." Hu Liena forced a smile, her expression somewhat stiff.
It's not because of jealousy.
Although she was Pope Bibi Dong's only direct disciple, she was not arrogant.
Bibi Dong was not just a teacher to her, but also a family member who was both a teacher and a mother. Even if she took on more disciples, it would not affect her status.
Moreover, everyone has witnessed Zhu Zhuqing's performance in the Spirit Master Competition.
The terrifying Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul and its domineering presence on the arena put immense psychological pressure on them.
Apart from Su Cheng and Qian Renxue, no one dares to say that their strength is definitely superior to this person's.
Even Tang San, who was also on the Shrek Academy Team and possessed the Clear Sky Hammer and Twin Martial Souls, paled in comparison to her brilliance.
Being able to accept such a talented new disciple is undoubtedly a great thing for the Pope and the Spirit Hall.
The reason for Hu Liena's sorrow lies with Qian Renxue.
She knew about the relationship between that older sister and Bibi Dong, and had tried to repair the relationship between the mother and daughter.
But she was just a minor Soul King, lacking both strength and status. Facing two such powerful women, it was already a feat to even exchange a few words. To expect her to mediate would be asking too much.
Now that Zhu Zhuqing has intervened, it's unclear what consequences this will bring.
Hu Liena clearly remembered that it was this person who forced Qian Renxue to disregard the competition rules and kill her during the top three competition a year ago.
Although she didn't use her Martial Soul Avatar at the time, it was obvious that she refrained from using Soul Skill because it would take up time and to prevent Zhu Zhuqing from surrendering prematurely. She showed absolutely no mercy.
Besides that, she used almost every means at her disposal.
Even more astonishingly, despite Qian Renxue's merciless and lightning-fast attacks, she still managed to escape.
It should be noted that at that time, Qian Renxue not only surpassed her by two major levels in terms of level, but was also the only person at that time who possessed 100,000 Year Spirit Ring while still at the Soul Saint stage.
In the end, it still failed.
This demonstrates just how strong Zhu Zhuqing's potential and combat talent must be.
However, this situation is not the girl's fault; it's all because of that man.
Thinking of this, Hu Liena glanced at Su Cheng, who was standing not far away with an indifferent expression, and gritted her teeth inwardly.
Zhu Zhuqing was very observant and naturally noticed the unusual expression on the other person's face.
She wasn't offended at all. Instead, contrary to her usual behavior, she took the initiative to be friendly. A faint, innocent smile appeared on her cool face as she softly said, "Can I call you Sister Na Na from now on?"
His expression was pure and natural when he spoke, without the slightest hint of falsehood, and deep in his eyes seemed to lie an imperceptible bitterness and expectation.
Because of the cruel family environment she experienced in her childhood, and the potential impact of the twenty years of memories in her dreams, Zhu Zhuqing rarely shows her emotions on a daily basis.
Except when he rarely hides his true feelings in front of Su Cheng, and speaks freely with slight anger and resentment, he is usually expressionless and unusually indifferent, never showing his emotions.
But at this moment, she smiled and her face was gentle, without the slightest incongruity. Instead, it was like an iceberg melting and a night-blooming cereus in full bloom, making people feel pity and even flattered.
Even Hu Liena, a staunch supporter of Qian Renxue, couldn't help but be slightly taken aback, her heart filled with ripples.
Noticing the bloody aura emanating from her and the barely suppressed killing intent emanating from her, and thinking of how she had been fighting alone in this bloody and cruel hell on earth for over a year, he couldn't help but feel a pang of tenderness in his heart. He took her hand and gently said, "Okay."
The sight of the sisters' deep affection startled the others.
Su Cheng felt a chill run down his spine, realizing the other party's unusual behavior. He clicked his tongue and looked away.
Bibi Dong watched indifferently as her two disciples exchanged words, her expression dark and her thoughts unreadable.
Then he turned to look at Su Cheng, "Is there anything else?"
"That's all. Let's get ready for Hell Road."
"Hell Road?"
The Slaughter King, who had been observing coldly from the beginning, slightly changed his expression, and his sharp voice became more sinister, "What do you mean?"
"What else could it mean? We need to get to Hell Road, and we would be grateful if you could do us a favor," Su Cheng said calmly.
"That's not what you said before." The Slaughter King frowned, glanced at him, and then stared at Bibi Dong. "Didn't you say you wouldn't let them go to Hell Road?"
"I meant those few aren't going." Bibi Dong pointed at Xie Yue and the other two, then added, "But the three of us are going, including this little girl. I only said before that she shouldn't try to reach the Hundred Victories level, not that she shouldn't go to Hell Road."
"You're playing me?!" Upon hearing this, the Slaughter King was instantly enraged, his malevolent killing intent surging like a tsunami, causing the faces of the young Soul Master to turn slightly pale.
He was merely wary of Bibi Dong and Su Cheng, but he was definitely not so afraid as to be afraid to take action.
Xie Yue and Hu Liena exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with undisguised horror.
They had guessed that this person was strong, but they never expected him to be this strong. The mere wisp of his aura made them feel weak all over.
"Don't get excited." Su Cheng spoke up at this moment, his voice carrying a faint Soul Power, forming an invisible aura that enveloped his group, calming their spirits and pushing away the deep malice that had been condensed to the extreme.
"If it weren't for the fact that we're heading to Hell Road, we could have just dropped them off at the outer entrance. Was it really necessary for them to enter this Slaughter City?"
Seeing how effortlessly he protected the group, even the Slaughter King was taken aback.
"We have no interest in that Divine Slaughter's Domain. Besides, even if we enter the Hell Road, it won't make much difference if we haven't won a hundred times in the Hell Slaughter Arena."
Upon hearing this, the Slaughter King glanced at Zhu Zhuqing with a gloomy face.
When Su Cheng first arrived here, even after entering the Hell Road, it was indeed as he said, that he had no chance of gaining the approval of the killing will there and obtaining the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
But Zhu Zhuqing is different.
She had already achieved an eighty-nine-game winning streak, accumulating immense killing intent within her. Of course, even so, the chances of success were extremely low; in fact, without the protection of Bibi Dong, the goddess of death, entering the Hell Road in this state would almost certainly mean certain death.
The so-called Hell Slaughter Arena with a hundred wins is not just for selection. The killing intent accumulated from those hundreds of killing battles is the necessary accumulation for challengers to achieve the title of God of Slaughter.
"I don't feel any sincerity from you. What if they succeed in the Hundred Victories challenge and want to go to the Hell Road?" The Slaughter King didn't harbor any illusions and directly expressed his concerns. After all, Bibi Dong had successfully passed through the Hell Road and obtained the Divine Slaughter's Domain, so she was very clear about the true rules of this place.
If Xie Yue and the others also surpass fifty wins by then, he will be powerless to stop them. If they truly reach a hundred wins, even he will have to open the gates of Hell Road for them.
This is the rule of the Slaughter City as the place where gods inherit their legacy, and he, as the Slaughter King, must abide by it.
"You're overthinking it," Su Cheng said calmly. "If we really coveted that Divine Slaughter's Domain, we wouldn't have needed to come here in advance. It wouldn't have been too difficult for us to go through the Hell Road after Zhu Zhuqing completed her test."
"..." Upon hearing this, the Slaughter King glanced at Zhu Zhuqing and had to admit that there was some truth to what he said.
He acknowledged the potential of the Gale King, and even believed that he had a high probability of successfully passing the Hell Road test and becoming the ninth God of Slaughter in the history of the Slaughter City.
"I can help you open the Hell Road, but you will need to provide your own sacrifices."
"We provide the sacrifices? Is that what you think?" Su Cheng looked at him with a half-smile, his powerful Soul Power, enhanced by Innate Power, transformed into two sword shadows reflected in his eyes.
At this moment, the Slaughter King felt as if he were in a world of ice and snow, surrounded by a vast expanse of white.
That is not killing and annihilation, but the emptiness and silence of the vast world and nothing.
The Empty Mountain Sword Intent was fleeting, yet it brought him immense pressure.
"This person is very strong and very strange. Slaughter City, he is no less threatening than that God of Slaughter." The Slaughter King felt a little apprehensive.
The key point is that Su Cheng is not the only one here. Bibi Dong, who possesses the Divine Slaughter's Domain, brings him even greater deterrence.
They immediately stopped mentioning the sacrificial offerings.
"I hope you keep your promise. If one more person gains control of the Divine Slaughter's Domain, you won't be able to hide it from me," he said coldly.
He glanced at Xie Yue and the other two again, his eyes clearly threatening.
"You can rest assured about this matter, so you'd better not think about doing anything foolish."
The Slaughter King snorted coldly upon hearing this, "It had better be that way. Then come with me."
