Hunting Operation

Elsewhere, Saintess Hall.

Qian Xunji found Bibi Dong and looked at the now-normal Bibi Dong.

"Oh? What made Teacher think of coming to see me today?"

"Bibi Dong, do you still remember everything that happened before?"

Whenever Bibi Dong tried to recall what had happened before, a piercing pain shot through her head. She could no longer remember anything that had occurred during the period when she had been influenced by the Rakshasa God.

"I can't remember."

Qian Xunji saw that Bibi Dong did not seem to be lying.

"Then do you remember what you did to Xue Er?"

Upon hearing the words "Xue Er," the image of the little angel, Qian Renxue, surfaced in Bibi Dong's mind. Remembering everything she had done to Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong looked down at her hands and kept muttering:

"What did I do? What exactly did I do?"

Qian Xunji removed the seal on Bibi Dong's soul power.

Qian Xunji said dejectedly:

"I had originally planned to capture that Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor and give it to you as a soul ring, but unfortunately, she still ended up sacrificing herself. Your soul power cultivation has now reached the bottleneck at level ninety. A few days ago, someone discovered a Hundred-Thousand-Year Death Spider Emperor in the Star Dou Great Forest. It shares the same origin as your martial soul and is also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, so it could not be more suitable as your Ninth Spirit Ring. Prepare yourself tonight. Tomorrow, I'll have someone take you to hunt for the soul ring."

Qian Xunji rose and walked toward the door. When he reached it, he added:

"Now that you've returned to normal, treat Xue Er better from now on!"

With that, Qian Xunji left completely, leaving Bibi Dong sitting there with a blank look on her face.

"Xiao Xue... Xue Er..."

Bibi Dong kept repeating Xue Er's name.

Bibi Dong let out a self-mocking laugh as she looked at her hands. What right did these hands, stained with sin, have to embrace an angel of light?

The next day, Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong arrived at the Papal Palace and looked up at the people standing ahead.

Qian Xunji stood in the middle, with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, his two trusted aides, beside him. Nightmare Douluo, whom she knew, also stood before her. Beside him stood two figures with extremely similar faces, neither of whom she had met before.

"These two are the Sixth Offering and Seventh Offering of the Worship Hall. Their soul power levels have both reached ninety-seven. They are twin brothers who have trained together since childhood, and their coordination allows them to contend against a level ninety-eight Super Douluo. With the two Offerings present, hunting the soul beast this time should not be difficult.

"Additionally, I will send Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Nightmare Douluo along with you. With Nightmare Douluo there, you will be able to locate that soul beast more easily. All right, get ready and depart!"

Bibi Dong bowed to the two Offerings.

"Thank you, Sixth Offering and Seventh Offering, for your assistance."

Thousand Jun Douluo and Subduing Demon Douluo nodded at Bibi Dong without saying anything.

"All right, it's getting late. Finish preparing and get ready to depart!"

The group set off with Bibi Dong toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

By evening, the six of them had reached the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The six rested there, intending to enter the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest early the next morning to hunt the Hundred-Thousand-Year Death Spider Emperor.

Early the next morning, after the six had recovered their condition, they headed into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Bibi Dong and the others arrived at a valley deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.

The entire valley was filled with the aura of death, gloomy to the extreme. A single glance inside revealed no signs of life.

Bibi Dong looked at the map in her hand and said:

"According to the information, that Hundred-Thousand-Year Death Spider Emperor is in this Death Valley. To avoid alerting it and letting it escape, Nightmare Elder, I'll have to trouble you."

"Mm. This old man spends his days living in retirement, but I'm still good for something."

Nightmare Douluo unleashed his spiritual power. Nine soul rings descended around him, and his third and fifth soul rings lit up. His soul ability was almost identical to the one Huo Yuhao would possess ten thousand years later: Mental Detection Sharing!

Nightmare Douluo's spiritual power swiftly swept across the entire valley, and everything happening within it appeared in his mind.

Nightmare Douluo activated the sharing and transmitted the image to the five others.

"That Death Spider Emperor is dwelling in a cave deep inside Death Valley. Time is of the essence. Let's move out at once!"

With the group's speed, they quickly arrived at the cave entrance.

Sensing the intrusion of outsiders, the Death Spider Emperor immediately sprayed a stream of venom at the six of them.

The six reacted quickly as well and avoided the venom.

Since Bibi Dong's first martial soul was also the Death Spider Emperor, she was extremely familiar with it. She had also made detailed plans to prevent it from escaping.

"Ghost Elder, Chrysanthemum Elder, I'll leave it to you."

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance and nodded to each other. Their fingers interlocked as their martial souls emerged behind them. Their soul power rapidly fused, and silver ripples spread outward from the two of them as the Two-Stage Stillness Domain unfolded.

Seeing that the situation had turned unfavorable, the Death Spider Emperor was just about to flee when Thousand Jun and Subduing Demon, the two brothers, each struck it with a staff and sent it straight back. From that moment on, the Death Spider Emperor was completely enveloped within the Two-Stage Stillness Domain.

Thousand Jun Douluo and Subduing Demon Douluo did not waste any words. Their ninth soul rings lit up, and they shouted in unison:

"Salvation of All Beings!"

Their Ninth Spirit Ability slammed viciously into the Death Spider Emperor's body. The single strike shattered all eight of its spider legs, leaving the Death Spider Emperor sprawled on the ground and barely alive.

Bibi Dong knew that the Death Spider Emperor would not die so easily. Its innate ability, immortality, had yet to be used. She said to Nightmare Douluo, who stood nearby:

"Nightmare Elder, please use your strongest soul attack against this Death Spider Emperor's soul."

Nightmare Elder nodded. His sixth soul ring lit up, and his eyes turned purple.

The Death Spider Emperor lying on the ground was preparing to use its innate ability, immortality, to escape the group's pursuit. But suddenly, a surge of spiritual power struck directly at its soul.

Now, even if the Death Spider Emperor wanted to activate immortality and escape, it was impossible.

Bibi Dong watched the scene and slowly walked forward. Her sixth soul ring lit up: Bloodsucking Spider Thorns, her only offensive soul ability at present.

A sky full of scarlet spider thorns appeared behind Bibi Dong and shot toward the Death Spider Emperor, which had completely lost its ability to resist.

The spider thorns pierced straight through the Death Spider Emperor's brain, shattering its already heavily damaged soul.

At last, the Death Spider Emperor died completely, and a scarlet soul ring slowly condensed above its corpse!
