Spirit Bone, Reunion

Faced with Gai Yue's question, Bibi Dong simply shook her head. "Oh? Is the Great Elder referring to Ao Yue?"

Gai Yue nodded slightly. "It seems that His Holiness the Pope also knows him. I also heard that he is very close to the Saintess. It has been too long since I have seen this young man. I wonder if His Holiness the Pope could send him back?"

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong smiled and said, "I also have some good news to share with the Great Elder about this child."

Gai Yue raised an eyebrow. "Good news?"

Bibi Dong noticed Gai Yue's expression and felt much better. "Since it was a misunderstanding, Great Elder, please don't take it to heart. Please come into the city for a talk."

Although Gai Yue appeared dissatisfied, he did not refuse Bibi Dong's request and led several elders into the city.

Pope's Palace, Gai Yue at Bibi Dong and asked, "I wonder what good news Your Holiness the Pope is referring to?"

Bibi Dong held a delicate porcelain cup in her hand and said with a smile, "Your sect's prodigy, Ao Yue, has been getting very close to Nana in recent years. The two of them actually got engaged half a year ago, and I only found out recently."

"Although this is a bit abrupt, I have thought about it and it would be a happy thing for two young talents to admire each other, so I agreed to Nana's request."

After a pause, Bibi Dong looked at Gai Yue's grim face and continued, "Therefore, I have decided that since the Great Elder has come in person today, we should talk about the marriage alliance with the Sword Sect."

Upon hearing this, Gai Yue's expression grew even more unpleasant. Wasn't this just using his status to suppress him? Ao Yue's betrayal hadn't been confirmed yet, and now Bibi Dong was proposing a marriage alliance—wasn't that just to protect Ao Yue?

The atmosphere, which had calmed down, became somewhat intriguing again.

The key issue is that Gai Yue can't refuse, since it's the Pope of the Spirit Hall personally acting as matchmaker.

If Gai Yue were to bring up Ao Yue's identity at this moment, it would be a complete disrespect to the Spirit Hall.

But it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Bibi Dong's proposal of a marriage alliance at this time confirms that there's something wrong with Ao Yue.

Seeing Gai Yue remain silent, Bibi Dong asked, "What is the Great Elder's opinion?"

After a long silence, Gai Yue finally uttered a few words: "This is not something I can decide. It's naturally a good thing that the two children have feelings for each other, but now the Fourth Elder's lineage..."

Before Gai Yue could finish speaking, Bibi Dong interrupted him with a chuckle, "I've heard about it too. I can assure you that Ao Yue and Nana are just mutually attracted to each other. Your clan has probably misunderstood Ao Yue."

When he was interrupted, Gai Yue's displeasure was almost palpable, but since they were in the Pope's Palace, even though there were five Titled Douluo present, they dared not refute him.

Gai Yue replied helplessly, "I still need to report this matter to the sect leader so that he can make the decision."

"But before that, I would like to see Ao Yue and hope that he will come back to the sect with us."

Bibi Dong said with a slight apology, "I'm afraid this is not possible. Ao Yue and Nana left three months ago to go to the mainland for training. I don't know their whereabouts now. It will probably take half a year for Ao Yue to come back."

"Or the Sword Sect could send people to the mainland to search for him. I think Ao Yue will naturally return to the sect after seeing the news. Of course, our Spirit Hall will also send more people. As soon as we have news of Ao Yue, we will definitely notify the Great Elder immediately."

Gai Yue seemed to have already guessed Bibi Dong's refusal, but continued, "In that case, we will trouble Your Holiness the Pope."

Bibi Dong smiled slightly, "It's no trouble. Ao Yue and Nana are very close now. After the marriage, the Spirit Hall and the Sword Sect can be considered as one family. It's not a troublesome matter for our own family."

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Gai Yue sneered inwardly. She was determined to protect Ao Yue and was using the marriage alliance to support him.

Their intentions were almost entirely undisguised. Ao Yue and Hu Liena, the Spirit Hall Saintess, had pledged their lives to each other, and Pope Bibi Dong had personally acted as matchmaker. Whether out of face or substance, the Sword Sect could not refuse.

There are practically no other options for this marriage, which means that Ao Yue has the support of the entire Spirit Hall. Will the Fourth Elder's lineage side with the Spirit Hall? Although the Sword Sect is currently the most powerful sect, how will other forces on the continent view it if Ao Yue and the Fourth Elder's lineage are expelled from the sect or accused of crimes simply because of suspicion? As one of the top forces on the continent, with countless eyes watching them, they naturally cannot act on mere impulse.

However, Bibi Dong could never have imagined that Ao Yue, whom she was trying so hard to win over, was actually Oscar's alter ego.

Gai Yue was willing to act alongside Bibi Dong here so that the identity of Ao Yue could penetrate the Spirit Hall and have a fatal effect in the future!

Seeing that Bibi Dong had said this, Gai Yue didn't know what else to say, but his expression was very unpleasant.

After an unknown amount of time, Gai Yue and his group left Spirit City with Xue Qingfeng and returned to the Sword Sect.

In addition to sending Xue Qingfeng, the Spirit Hall also paid one million Gold Soul Coin as an apology, since Ghost Douluo was, after all, a member of the Spirit Hall.

Although Ghost Douluo has been removed from Bibi Dong's list of names, he still has to acknowledge his past mistakes.

Originally, everyone thought there would be a dramatic outburst, but it ended so hastily in the end? This matter has already eased the tension between the Sword Sect and the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong finally presented a thank-you gift.

He directly announced to the world the affair between Ao Yue and Hu Liena, the Spirit Hall Saintess, saying that the Sword Sect's visit was not only to resolve the misunderstanding, but also to discuss the marriage agreement.

Thanks to Bibi Dong's actions, the other forces originally thought that the Sword Sect and the Spirit Hall had become enemies, but they didn't expect them to be related by marriage. After seeing Ghost Douluo's wanted poster, everyone believed Bibi Dong's story. Of course, even if those forces didn't believe it, no one would say anything.

After Gai Yue and the others left, only three people remained in the Pope's Palace: Pope Bibi Dong, Ao Yue, and Ghost Douluo.

Ao Yue looked at Bibi Dong with tears of gratitude in his eyes. "Teacher, I can never repay your kindness, Ao Yue..."

Before Ao Yue could finish expressing his gratitude, Bibi Dong stopped him. "Alright, this is not the result we wanted, but since things have come to this, we can only try to make things better."

"Now that you have the entire Spirit Hall backing you, I don't think the Sword Sect will do anything to your grandfather and the others. As for you... you are already Soul Emperor. As long as you grow stronger within thirty years, everything will be fine."

Ao Yue nodded solemnly. "Teacher, rest assured, Ao Yue will definitely work harder in my cultivation and live up to your expectations."

Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction. "You can't go back to the Sword Sect for the time being, but as long as you show enough talent and strength when you reappear in the future, Sword Sect will probably not stop you from getting married to Nana."

After a pause, Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Moreover, everything will be fine within three years at most, and that will be your time to show your skills. I believe you are not much worse than your younger brother."

Ao Yue said confidently, "Ao Yue will certainly not let the teacher down."

Ghost Douluo then said, "Your Majesty, then what about after that..."

Bibi Dong was silent for a moment. "You should recover from your injuries first, and then you can go to the Death Canyon with Tong Ao Yue. Yan and Xie Yue are both there."

Ghost Douluo replied, "Understood."

Ao Yue did not refuse, because Bibi Dong was planning to let him get in touch with this group of core disciples.

Before leaving, Bibi Dong called out to Ao Yue and took out a crystal-clear bone from her Soul Tool, handing it to Ao Yue.

"This is a 50,000-year-old Ice Dragon Torso Soul Bone treasured by the Spirit Hall. Having it will greatly enhance your abilities."

Ghost Douluo, standing to the side, was extremely envious of this Spirit Bone. Although its attributes did not match his own, Torso Soul Bone of 50,000 years was enough to be considered a top-grade Spirit Bone.

This Spirit Bone is one of the few treasures in the Spirit Hall! If there hadn't been a suitable Ice Attribute Soul Master to absorb it, this Spirit Bone could have made a Titled Douluo completely devoted to it! Now that Bibi Dong has given this Spirit Bone to Ao Yue, the meaning behind it is self-evident.

Ao Yue's face instantly lit up with excitement. "Teacher, this..."

Bibi Dong threw the skull directly into Ao Yue's arms. "No need for nonsense. What you need to do now is to become stronger as soon as possible. As long as you surpass Oscar, the Sword Sect will still have a place for you!"

Ao Yue accepted the Spirit Bone with tears of gratitude, feeling even closer to Bibi Dong than to his own mother!

Bibi Dong simply waved her hand and said, "You can all go and rest."

After Ao Yue and Ghost Douluo left, a man wearing Golden Dragon Mask slowly came up behind Bibi Dong and massaged her shoulders and back.

A rare look of enjoyment appeared on Bibi Dong's face. "Yu Long, it won't be long before I can avenge you."

Dragon Tamer Master replied gently, "You've worked hard. Ao Yue is indeed a good child. With him, controlling the Sword Sect in the future will be a piece of cake."

Back at his residence, Ao Yue was incredibly excited. He had just obtained a 50,000-year-old Spirit Bone? However, he didn't need to absorb this Spirit Bone, because after consuming the Copy Sausage made from Gai Yue's blood, Ao Yue already possessed a fully equipped Spirit Bone.

And coincidentally, Gai Yue's Torso Soul Bone also came from an ice dragon-type Soul Beast, only its age was even higher, reaching a full 70,000 years.

So not only did Ao Yue not have to worry about being exposed, he also got a Spirit Bone for free! Fortunately, Bibi Dong didn't let him absorb it on the spot, otherwise wouldn't that have exposed him?

Now look what's happened! Not only did they successfully infiltrate the company, but they also got a free transfer of ownership. Where can they even complain about this?

Ao Yue only needs to wait until the next time he replaces his clone before he can send the Spirit Bone back to the Sword Sect.

However, with Ghost Douluo secretly protecting him, he had to be even more careful when replacing his clone. If his identity was exposed, all the cards he had worked so hard to use to infiltrate would be gone.

After the incident of Ghost Douluo assassinating the Sword Sect Young Sect Master came to an end, Oscar seemed to disappear from the public eye, and other people with ulterior motives dared not make any further moves.

After all, the Sword Sect's Sect Protecting Douluo, was skilled at concealment. Who knew if the Sword Sect's prodigy you wanted to assassinate was actually Heavenly Soul Douluo in disguise? It was precisely this incident that made Heavenly Soul Douluo's reputation resound throughout the continent, after all, he was someone who had defeated a level 95 Titled Douluo.

As a veteran Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall and a favorite of Pope Bibi Dong, Ghost Douluo's strength is beyond doubt.

With the rise of the Heavenly Soul Douluo, the strength of the Sword Sect became even more unfathomable.

Aside from the Five Great Elders are publicly known, who knows how many other Sect Protecting Douluo Sword Sect the Heavenly Soul Douluo are in the Sword Sect?

The Sword Sect truly lives up to its name; once they emerge, it's a thunderbolt! How many other Hermit Sect on the continent possess such power?

The Extreme North.

When Oscar arrived at Sky Ice Ravine, before he could even enter, he was blocked by a beautiful and lovely scorpion.

Ice Empress sized up Oscar, wondering how this human could be so handsome. Wasn't it said that Ao Rong was a clone? How come the clone and the original are so different?

The Oscar standing before her was not only the most handsome human Ice Empress had ever seen, but she could also sense a very familiar and comfortable aura emanating from him.

It was as if the other party belonged to the Extreme North.

Ice Empress, now in human form, couldn't resist pinching Oscar's cheek with her soft, white hand. "Are you really your true form?"

Oscar didn't care about the little girl's offense. Although Ice Empress had existed for hundreds of thousands of years, to the wicked humans, these Soul Beasts were like blank slates.

Soul Beast also have their share of scheming, intrigue, love, and hatred, but compared to humans, they are more numerous...

Oscar smiled warmly, "The real deal."

Feeling the smoothness and softness of Oscar's skin, Ice Empress couldn't help but ask, "How do you take care of yourself? It feels so comfortable to touch."

Oscar smiled slightly, "It's innate."

"Tch." Ice Empress rolled his eyes. "Let's go, Yuki-onna and the others have been waiting for you for a long time."

Oscar followed Ice Empress into the Sky Ice Ravine with ease and arrived at the ice cave where she lived. At this moment, Ao Rong's clone was not there, having been chased away by Xiao Bai.

I was slightly taken aback when I noticed Oscar, Snow Empress, and Titan Snow Demon King. As the strongest beings in the Extreme North, they could naturally sense the terrifying energy contained within Oscar.

Although Oscar didn't try to hide it, they could still sense Oscar Soul Power foundation, which was comparable to that of Titled Douluo. To have such strength at such a young age, it's no wonder he could create such a wonderful idea as the Soul Spirit Method.

After gaining a general understanding of Oscar's strength, Snow Empress and Titan Snow Demon King were relieved.

Oscar was already quite familiar with Snow Empress and Titan Snow Demon King, so he didn't feign politeness. "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

The Snow Empress smiled slightly, "Being able to witness the wonders of the Soul Spirit is worth any wait."

Oscar didn't dawdle. A flash of silver light appeared between his brows, and his terrifying Spiritual Power was released instantly. Before Snow Empress and the others could even marvel at the strength of Oscar's Spiritual Power, a domineering giant insect had already appeared.

The giant bug circled Oscar, its piercing gaze fixed on Ice Empress: "Bing Bing, I've missed you so much!"

Upon hearing this voice, Ice Empress immediately looked at the giant insect beside Oscar: "Sky Dream Ice Silkworm?! How is it you?"

Both Snow Empress and Titan Snow Demon King were taken aback. "Bing Bing, do you know Oscar's Soul Spirit?"

Ice Empress recounted without any concealment how she encountered the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and tried to devour it as food.

Then Ice Empress questioned Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: "Tell me, how did you become Oscar's Soul Spirit? You have no use other than your life energy. Isn't using you as Soul Spirit a waste of Soul Ring slot?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm looked at Ice Empress expectantly from the side. "Bing Bing, let me explain slowly. I'm not the same brother I used to be..."
