"Apart from Divine Wind and Blazing Fire Academy, the other academies that advanced to the finals all have very close relationships with our Grand Palace Master Zhou!"
Yu Tianmeng looked at Zhou Chen with a half-smile, her tone strange, her bright purple eyes filled with resentment.
"Ahem... coincidences, all just coincidences."
Zhou Chen's eyes darted around, and he coughed awkwardly twice.
"Oh, really?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua chuckled softly, stretched out her two jade-like arms to embrace Zhou Chen's neck, brought her fair face close to Zhou Chen's ear, pouted her lips, and teasingly blew a breath of hot air, which immediately made Zhou Chen's ears turn blush.
"Hehe, is our Grand Palace Master Zhou getting shy?"
Seeing this, Yu Tianmeng chuckled, her inner fangirl spirit burning brightly.
"If you continue to provoke me like this, I will retaliate!"
Zhou Chen put his arms around the two women's slender waists, but his expression remained serious.
A righteous and upright gentleman like him should naturally be treated with courtesy before resorting to force.
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianmeng and Tang Yuehua exchanged a glance. The two women expressed extreme contempt for this coy behavior and quickly responded accordingly.
"Hehe, since that's the case, let's get serious."
Yu Tianmeng chuckled, and together with Tang Yuehua, they put on a cool and aloof expression and broke free from Zhou Chen's embrace.
"Well..."
Zhou Chen's expression froze instantly. Why wasn't this going according to plan?
"Hehe, okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."
Seeing Zhou Chen's bewildered expression, Yu Tianmeng covered her mouth and chuckled softly. Then, her expression turned serious, and she said, "The main reason I came to the Clear Sky Sect this time is to discuss with you, my husband, and Sister Yuehua... our views on the Spirit Hall."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen and Tang Yuehua's expressions also turned serious.
The Spirit Hall is currently a common enemy of both the Purple Micro Palace and the Clear Sky Sect.
"Tian Meng, what are your thoughts?"
Tang Yuehua frowned slightly and asked first.
Yu Tianmeng said in a deep voice, "I think Bi Bi Dong's sudden appearance in the City of Slaughter a few days ago and her attack on the Slaughter King was very strange, inconsistent with the original story... and illogical."
"What's illogical about that?"
Tang Yuehua looked at Yu Tianmeng with a puzzled expression and said, "The City of Slaughter is a gathering place for evil and a place where Blood Soul Master congregate. Isn't it normal for the Spirit Hall, which claims to be righteous, to wipe out the City of Slaughter?"
"Besides, didn't my husband mention that Bi Bi Dong needs the Soul Ring of the million-year-old Soul Beast, the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, which is parasitizing my grandfather?"
Clearly, Tang Yuehua did not understand Yu Tianmeng's words.
But Zhou Chen understood.
Yu Tianmeng meant that in the original Douluo Continent storyline, Bi Bi Dong did not go to the City of Slaughter at this time, nor did she intend to eliminate the Slaughter King. Her disciple, Hu Liena, was also supposed to go to the City of Slaughter for training a few years later.
In fact, in the original storyline, the Spirit Hall supplied all the living necessities to maintain the City of Slaughter. The relationship between the two was neither particularly good nor bad.
But now, Bi Bi Dong is leading more than a dozen Title Douluo, hundreds of Soul Douluo and Soul Saint from the Spirit Hall to besiege the City of Slaughter, and even annihilating the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King on the spot, completely deviating from the original Douluo storyline.
So the question is, what caused Bi Bi Dong to act in a way completely different from the original storyline?
Zhou Chen immediately understood why Yu Tianmeng had come.
Bi Bi Dong's unusual behavior is indeed worth investigating, as it relates to the future struggle for supremacy between the Purple Micro Palace and the Spirit Hall.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chen looked at Yu Tianmeng and asked, "Did the Tian Ji Guard receive any intelligence about how Bi Bi Dong dealt with the City of Slaughter after destroying the Slaughter King?"
"Yes, Xiao Chenyu sent the message back yesterday."
Yu Tianmeng nodded, and with a flash of silver light, a scroll appeared in her palm, which she handed to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen opened the scroll, glanced through it, and immediately raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Because Bi Bi Dong's methods of dealing with the City of Slaughter were simply too astonishing!
According to the intelligence reports, after Bi Bi Dong destroyed the Slaughter King, she did not further destroy the entire City of Slaughter. Instead, she left the City of Slaughter intact and recruited all the Evil Soul Master within it!
It's important to know that the City of Slaughter has been established for countless millennia, with a population exceeding several hundred thousand, including at least twenty to thirty thousand Evil Soul Master!
The combat power of Evil Soul Master far exceeds that of ordinary Soul Master. Twenty or thirty thousand Evil Soul Master are comparable to fifty thousand ordinary Soul Master. How terrifying is such power!
But Bi Bi Dong actually took this power for her own use!
"Show me."
Tang Yuehua leaned closer, glanced at her, and exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible? Isn't Bi Bi Dong the Pope the Spirit Hall? How dare she recruit the Spirit Hall's mortal enemy, the evil Blood Soul Master?"
"What is there that she wouldn't dare to do?"
Yu Tianmeng rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Sister Yuehua, Bi Bi Dong is still a descendant of the Rakshasa God! The Rakshasa God is a deity who has mastered evil thoughts, and is also a mortal enemy of the Spirit Hall's Angel God!"
"Real?"
Tang Yuehua's mouth gaped slightly as she asked incredulously, "Didn't anyone in the Spirit Hall discover her identity? Didn't anyone stop her?"
"Perhaps someone will discover it, but why stop them?"
Yu Tianmeng curled her lip and complained, "Bi Bi Dong is Level 99 Peerless Douluo, the most brilliant genius in the Spirit Hall, and the most likely Pope to lead the Spirit Hall to unify the world. Even if the people in the Spirit Hall know that she is the successor of the Rakshasa God, they will pretend not to know."
"The vast majority of people in the Spirit Hall are ordinary people. Ordinary people don't have a pure concept of good and evil; they only have a concept of self-interest. As long as they can be led to victory, they don't care whether their leader is an angel or a devil!"
After a pause, Yu Tianmeng continued, "Like this time, Bi Bi Dong recruited tens of thousands of Blood Soul Masters from the City of Slaughter, didn't the Spirit Hall tacitly accept it?"
"Perhaps some stubborn older generations will feel that Bi Bi Dong's actions betrayed the Spirit Hall, but the vast majority of people in the Spirit Hall will only be delighted that the Spirit Hall's strength has increased significantly again!"
"After all, these are tens of thousands of cannon fodder! If we use these Blood Soul Master as cannon fodder and drive them to attack the Spirit Hall's enemies, such as the Upper Three Sects, the Spirit Hall's ordinary Soul Master will suffer significantly fewer casualties, won't they?"
"Furthermore, after Bi Bi Dong orders these Blood Soul Masters to eliminate the Upper Three Sects, the Spirit Hall can frame the Holy Spirit Church. Isn't that a perfect plan!"
These words left Tang Yuehua completely stunned, and the way she looked at Yu Tianmeng changed.
This girl is too cunning; how could she come up with such a wicked plan?
"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of look is that?"
Seeing Tang Yuehua looking at her like that, Yu Tianmeng immediately protested. Hands on her hips, she said discontentedly, "Sister Yuehua, it's not like I wanted to do this. I was just guessing what the Spirit Hall and Bi Bi Dong were thinking!"
"Yes, you're right."
Tang Yuehua nodded obediently, not daring to refute at all. Yu Tianmeng was truly terrifying.
Yu Tianmeng: "..."
Covering her forehead, Yu Tianmeng felt her reputation had been damaged. She estimated that her good image in Tang Yuehua's mind had also collapsed.
Seeing that the situation was getting a little awkward, Zhou Chen, who had been silent all along, immediately changed the subject.
"Tian Meng, what do you think was the initial factor that prompted Bi Bi Dong to attack the City of Slaughter?"
Zhou Chen stroked his chin and said.
Is it the butterfly effect?
Yu Tianmeng raised an eyebrow and suddenly said.
"Possibly."
Zhou Chen nodded; he understood what Yu Tianmeng meant.
The butterfly effect, a chaotic phenomenon proposed by a meteorologist, refers to the phenomenon in which a tiny initial change in a large environment or dynamic System can trigger a long-term, massive chain reaction throughout the entire environment or System.
To put it simply, a butterfly in the Amazon rainforest, by flapping its wings a few times, can cause a tornado thousands of miles away two weeks later!
Yu Tianmeng meant that Bi Bi Dong's unusual behavior might be a chain reaction caused by the appearance of her and Zhou Chen, two transmigrators.
Perhaps, the formation of this chain reaction also needs to be added to the list of Holy Spirit Church's Holy Son, the transmigrator Ye Meijing, who has already been killed.
"What does this have to do with butterflies?"
Tang Yuehua was still confused. She felt like a fool, completely unable to keep up with Yu Tianmeng's train of thought.
"Husband, do you think there might be someone like Ye Meijing helping Bi Bi Dong?"
Yu Tianmeng frowned slightly and asked again.
She was afraid that there were other time travelers giving Bi Bi Dong advice.
"That's unlikely."
Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "Although Bi Bi Dong is very beautiful, she is ruthless and extremely controlling. She will not allow anyone to exist beyond her control. Even if someone like Ye Meijing were to join Bi Bi Dong, I'm afraid Bi Bi Dong wouldn't tolerate it."
"No way, I feel that Bi Bi Dong is very similar to Wu Zetian. Shouldn't an Empress like that be broad-minded and able to accept talented people?"
Yu Tianmeng questioned. As a woman, she still greatly admired figures like Wu Zetian.
Who told you that?
Zhou Chen pursed his lips, not bothering to explain to Yu Tianmeng, but simply said, "Regardless, we already have some guesses about Bi Bi Dong's situation."
"Um."
Yu Tianmeng nodded and said, "I will order the Tian Ji Guard to intensify their efforts to gather intelligence on the Spirit Hall and Bi Bi Dong, to verify our suspicions."
After a pause, Yu Tianmeng's expression changed, as if she had suddenly remembered something. She said in a deep voice, "By the way, this time, when the major academy teams go to Spirit City, our Purple Micro Palace will be accompanied by three Title Douluo: Dugu Bo, Liu Erlong, and Flander. The couple Peerless Dragon Serpent will also be following behind, along with Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"Do you think our Purple Micro Palace should send a few more Title Douluo with us? After all, in the original story... after all, the Spirit Hall might take action against Tang San."
"What?"
Upon hearing that the Spirit Hall might target her nephew Tang San, Tang Yuehua immediately became agitated and resolutely declared, "I will have the elders of the Clear Sky Sect mobilized to protect Tang San's safety."
"Then I'll leave it to your Clear Sky Sect."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianmeng skillfully shifted the blame to Tang Yuehua, then said, "Then I should leave too. The Purple Micro Palace still needs me to preside over it. You two enjoy your time together."
Before she could finish speaking, Yu Tianmeng's Soul Ring flashed, and a silver spatial portal appeared in front of her.
Seeing that Yu Tianmeng was about to leave, Zhou Chen quickly grabbed her soft, delicate hand and said, "Wait, you're already here, don't rush off!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianmeng tensed up, and Zhou Chen immediately reached out and wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind, gently embracing her.
Yu Tianmeng didn't pretend to struggle; instead, she relaxed and gently leaned into his arms.
The two remained silent for a moment, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.
After a long silence, Yu Tianmeng whispered, "What do you want to do with me?"
I want to spend more time with you and make you happier.
Zhou Chen wasn't shy at all and immediately started spouting sweet nothings.
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianmeng was secretly delighted, but said aloud, "You should spend more time with Sister Yuehua. You're at the Clear Sky Sect now, it's her home, it's not appropriate for you to stay with me."
"I don't mind, my husband can spend time with me while he's with you!"
Tang Yuehua leaned closer, winked playfully, and chuckled softly.
"You really don't mind?"
Yu Tianmeng tilted her head, her bright eyes looking at Tang Yuehua, and said with a half-smile.
"Real."
Tang Yuehua nodded seriously.
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."
Yu Tianmeng suddenly smiled sweetly, then turned her head and gently kissed Zhou Chen's cheek, saying, "Turn your head and kiss me."
Zhou Chen obediently turned his head, and their lips touched instantly. They kissed for a long time before slowly separating.
Tang Yuehua rolled her eyes at the sight, feeling both annoyed and amused.
That girl Yu Tianmeng really takes advantage of any kindness shown to her. I was just being modest, and she took it all seriously!
However, as Grandmaster of etiquette, Tang Yuehua, despite feeling somewhat displeased, simply stood quietly to the side, watching the two of them being affectionate.
At this moment, Yu Tianmeng's eyes were somewhat glazed, her delicate body leaning against Zhou Chen's chest. However, she didn't forget her good friend Tang Yuehua. She forced herself to sit up and gently pushed against Zhou Chen's chest, whispering, "Don't neglect Sister Yuehua."
Hearing this, Zhou Chen felt a warmth in his heart. Yu Tianmeng was not jealous at all, but was thinking of Tang Yuehua, which was actually thinking of him. She really had the demeanor of a first wife.
Zhou Chen lightly kissed Yu Tianmeng's fair cheek, then turned around and put his arm around Tang Yuehua's slender waist.
"Oh, so Grand Palace Master Zhou has finally remembered me?"
Tang Yuehua pouted.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen couldn't help but laugh.
He found Tang Yuehua quite adorable at this moment, her pouting rosy lips looking very charming.
Zhou Chen couldn't help but kiss her, which made Tang Yuehua's expression relax.
After a long while, their lips parted, and Tang Yuehua raised her head, looking at Zhou Chen with brimming eyes, her arms wrapped around his neck, her eyes filled with tenderness.
"My husband..."
