Bibi Dong's Invitation

"Damn, weren't these people acting all high and mighty just now?" Oscar's eyes widened as he watched the black-clad group suddenly flee, his voice filled with disbelief.

"Perfectly normal. Five of their brothers died in the first wave of attacks, followed by their leader. Their Soul Power Levels were lower than Teacher Zhao's, and they had no intention of coordinating with their companions. Who would dare keep fighting Teacher Zhao? That would just be throwing their lives away. They didn't want to die for nothing," Tang San said with his arms folded.

Xiao Wu jumped up and cheered, "Teacher Zhao is so cool! He killed so many people in just a few moves."

After recalling his martial soul, Zhao Wuji couldn't help the smile rising at the corners of his mouth when he heard Xiao Wu's praise. "All right, let's keep moving. Who knows whether anyone else will come looking for trouble later."

"Yes, Teacher Zhao."

After that incident, they encountered no more roadblocks over the next four days and returned to the academy without incident.

Once they entered the academy, Zhao Wuji said, "All right, we're back at the academy. You get one day off. Combat class resumes tomorrow."

"Yes, Teacher Zhao."

"Ah, Little San, go check on your teacher. It's been half a month already. I wonder how Grandmaster is doing?" Zhao Wuji called out to Tang San, who was about to leave, and sighed.

"Mm, all right, Teacher Zhao. I understand." Tang San nodded to Zhao Wuji.

At Moonlight Pavilion, Huang Tian had closely monitored Tang Yuehua's cultivation of the new version of the Nine Heavens Profound Technique over the past dozen days. He had found no problems, and its cultivation efficiency was indeed double that of the old version. These days, Tang Yuehua's Soul Power purity was no worse than that of a Demigod Title Douluo, while her Soul Power and physical strength had also increased severalfold. As long as she continued cultivating step by step, the day she broke through to Demigod Title Douluo would not be far off.

Every day, he waited until Tang Yuehua had finished cultivating before he cultivated himself. Only after seeing that nothing had gone wrong with her cultivation could he feel at ease. At the same time, he regretted rashly allowing Tang Yuehua to cultivate the new version of the Nine Heavens Profound Technique. If he had first given it to his subordinates to cultivate and gathered safer cultivation data before letting his own woman practice it, he would not have been so constantly worried.

"Reporting to the Hall Master, Her Holiness the Pontiff Bibi Dong of Spirit Hall has sent an invitation, asking you to meet her at the Spirit Hall Temple in Heaven Dou Imperial City."

At that moment, Li Fu stepped forward and respectfully reported to Huang Tian.

"What is the strength of the person she sent?"

Huang Tian felt slightly puzzled. He had no dealings with Bibi Dong, so he had no idea why she had sent someone to invite him.

"Reporting to the Hall Master, it is Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan."

"Chrysanthemum Douluo? That neither-man-nor-woman freak? Hmph, what bad luck. I'm not going. Help me refuse him!" The moment Huang Tian heard that Chrysanthemum Douluo had come to invite him, he lost all desire to go. Still, to avoid further trouble, he added, "Tell him they are not qualified to casually send someone and expect to summon This Seat."

"Yes, Hall Master. I will give them our reply at once." Li Fu bowed and backed out of the room, then hurried toward the entrance of Moonlight Pavilion.

Covering her mouth, Tang Yuehua laughed. "Bibi Dong has truly been discourteous this time. She prides herself on her noble status, yet she has forgotten that you, Husband, are a high-level deity. Even if she has become a god, she is merely a low-level deity. Your status is above hers! She sent a mere Title Douluo and expected to invite you to meet her? What wishful thinking! If she came in person to invite you, then for her sake, you might consider going."

Holding Tang Yuehua in his arms, Huang Tian smiled. "That will depend on whether she is willing to put aside her pride as the Pontiff and come invite me herself. If she truly comes, then I'll go."

He released his Soul Power to investigate. Sure enough, Bibi Dong had already secretly arrived at the Spirit Hall Temple in Heaven Dou Imperial City. From the look of it, she seemed to be cultivating. After observing carefully, he discovered that Bibi Dong had completely converted her soul power into divine power. She truly was a genius Pontiff; her strength was far greater than Tang Chen's. After all, Tang Chen had only converted twenty percent of his soul power into divine power so far, and he still had a long way to go before completing the conversion.

Outside the gates, Li Fu addressed Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, who had been waiting for some time. "Chrysanthemum Douluo, my master has spoken. You are not qualified! Hmph, Spirit Hall certainly puts on quite the display. You casually send out a Title Douluo and expect to invite my master to meet you? Are you looking down on us? Your Pontiff has only just become a god. Her identity and status are both beneath my master's. What right does she have to demand that my master meet her? If my master were not so magnanimous, he would certainly charge you with the crime of grave disrespect."

"It was our oversight. Please convey our intentions to His Excellency Huang Tian. Once Her Holiness the Pontiff emerges from seclusion, she will personally come to invite him." Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan gave an elegant bow as he spoke.

"Understood." Li Fu replied impassively. Something was off. She was supposedly in seclusion, yet she had sent her subordinate to invite the Hall Master as a guest. Was she really in such a hurry? Could there truly be some important matter she needed to discuss with the Hall Master?

After Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan took his leave, he returned to the Spirit Hall Temple. He waited outside the temple's conference hall for two hours until Bibi Dong summoned him inside. Only then did he push open the doors and enter.

Yue Guan said cautiously, "Reporting to Her Holiness the Pontiff, I failed in the matter you instructed me to handle."

"Oh? Why?" Bibi Dong sat in the seat of honor and asked in confusion.

"A Title Douluo serving His Excellency Huang Tian told this subordinate that your identity and status do not match His Excellency Huang Tian's. This is an offense against one above you. He is a high-level deity, while you have only just become a god. If you wish to invite His Excellency Huang Tian as a guest, you must personally come forward and invite him." As Yue Guan spoke, his heart trembled with anxiety. He feared that a single moment of displeasure from Her Holiness the Pontiff would cost him his life.

Upon hearing Yue Guan's words, Bibi Dong fell silent. Of course, she knew that doing so had offended that deity. However, she had suddenly encountered a problem in her cultivation and needed to enter seclusion immediately, so she had sent Yue Guan in her place. Had she known, she would have waited one more day, adjusted her condition, and personally gone to Moonlight Pavilion to pay respects to the deity! She did not know whether His Excellency Huang Tian had been angered by her actions. No, she had to quickly find a way to make amends.

"Her Holiness the Pontiff, I have discovered that the Hundred-Thousand-Year transformed Soul Beast we have been pursuing has been hiding in the Heaven Dou Empire, at Blue Tyrant Academy. Should we send people to capture it?" Gui Mei rushed in excitedly from outside the doors and said with a smile.

Hearing this good news, Bibi Dong said excitedly, "Capture it immediately. That is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. We cannot let it escape again."

"Her Holiness the Pontiff, we cannot go! Blue Tyrant Academy was founded by His Excellency Huang Tian's first wife, Liu Erlong. With their strength, they discovered that Hundred-Thousand-Year transformed Soul Beast long ago, yet they have not acted until now. This shows that they are protecting it. If we go to capture that Soul Beast, we will be opposing His Excellency Huang Tian and his people. Do not forget that His Excellency Huang Tian is a high-level deity. If we come into conflict with him, Spirit Hall will be finished," Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan said anxiously. Old Gui, Old Gui, hadn't you even read the intelligence reports?

At this, Bibi Dong's excitement vanished completely. The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was under His Excellency Huang Tian's protection. Whoever touched it would be opposing him. If Spirit Hall confronted him, it would only meet destruction.

Bibi Dong sighed and said, "Forget it. I have already become a god, so I no longer need a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Cancel the wanted order. We cannot afford to offend His Excellency Huang Tian."

"Yes, Her Holiness the Pontiff!"
