Secret Ranking No. 9-The Raccoon Dog for the Crown Prince!

[Secret Ranking No. 9: The Raccoon Dog for the Crown Prince]

As the golden words appeared, everyone, lost in a tangle of emotions, was pulled back to the present.

The Raccoon Dog for the Crown Prince?

Those words left everyone baffled.

In their minds, the so-called "Raccoon Dog for the Crown Prince" was just a case of passing off a fake as the real thing.

How could that count as a secret?

Meanwhile,

at Spirit Hall,

Bibi Dong had just recovered from her low spirits. The moment she saw those words, her beautiful eyes narrowed.

Perhaps others didn't understand what they meant.

But she knew better than anyone!

Qian Renxue!

"Damn it. Who made this Sky Screen, and why is it targeting me at every turn?"

The sinister aura around Bibi Dong surged.

Her overwhelming power flooded the place like a raging torrent, leaving the experts inside Pope's Palace uneasy and restless.

But they knew it all stemmed from the Sky Screen.

Everyone in Spirit Hall knew that Bibi Dong had made a shocking decision all those years ago: she had sent her own daughter to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire.

What the Sky Screen was showing

was undoubtedly that very incident.

At the same time,

inside Worship Hall,

Qian Daoliu looked down and asked, "Has Xue'er left the Heaven Dou Empire?"

"She's already on her way back. But the Sky Screen appeared too suddenly. If this secret really is about the Young Master, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect may catch up with her. After all, Gu Rong's martial soul..."

Someone hesitated.

"It's fine. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect really dares to pursue her, I'll deal with them myself."

Qian Daoliu's expression was grave as he stared at the Sky Screen, a trace of killing intent in his eyes.

Whoever had put up this Sky Screen

was truly asking for death.

Boom—!

Just as everyone was wondering what would happen, the Sky Screen's image slowly unfolded.

Unlike the first image it had shown, this time it came with narration.

[In the xxth year of the Martial Soul Calendar, Pope Qian Xunji died.]

[At the time, Spirit Hall was left without a leader, for there was no one else in the entire organization capable of taking over as pope.]

[As Spirit Hall reached an impasse, Saintess Bibi Dong stepped forward.]

[After killing Pope Qian Xunji, she obtained a "mysterious" power that forcibly raised her cultivation to the Titled Douluo realm.]

[Qian Daoliu, then a worshipper of Spirit Hall, knew that his son had died at the hands of his daughter-in-law. But because of his son's actions, and Saintess Bibi Dong's talent, he tacitly allowed it.]

[After taking the throne, Bibi Dong immediately announced to the world that Pope Qian Xunji had died at Tang Hao's hands, then launched the War of Extermination.]

"Seriously, why is this bitch everywhere?!"

"This pope really was a beast. She used someone else to cover up her own crimes!"

"Damn hypocrite!"

"..."

Soul Masters across the land condemned her without exception.

But Bibi Dong merely replied coldly, "What do the ants of this world know of my ambitions?"

The scene on the Sky Screen shifted.

On her way back to Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue watched the images play out, utterly dazed.

"Why did it come to this?"

Qian Renxue murmured, "You did all this for a useless man like Yu Xiaogang? Why would you do such a thing?!"

She knew Yu Xiaogang.

A useless man who would never break through level 30 in his entire life.

He clung to his so-called Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul.

Qian Renxue couldn't understand why Bibi Dong had taken an interest in someone like him.

"Young Master!"

As she pondered, Porcupinefish Douluo suddenly spoke. "The Sky Screen has exposed the secret of your infiltration of the Heaven Dou Empire. We must hurry!"

At that,

Qian Renxue looked toward the Sky Screen.

At the same time, its image changed, and another voice rang out.

[Bibi Dong was both pitiable and insane.]

[After taking power, she didn't rush to obtain her Ninth Soul Ring. Instead, she began carrying out her grand plan.]

[To unify the entire continent!]

Buzz!

Those words left everyone stunned.

But what came next shocked them even more.

The Sky Screen's image changed.

[After taking the throne, Bibi Dong made her first reckless decision in pursuit of Great Unification: she sent her own child, the young master of the Qian family, Qian Renxue, to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire!]

[At the time, the Upper Three Sects were all within Heaven Dou territory. If she wanted to eliminate these threats, she first had to seize control of their stronghold.]

[In the xxth year of the Martial Soul Calendar, under Bibi Dong's unyielding insistence, her daughter Qian Renxue went to the Heaven Dou Empire.]

[The eldest prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe, was around her age, so he was chosen as her first target.]

[Qian Renxue first served as Xue Qinghe's maid, learning his daily habits and mannerisms.]

[After about a year, she had mastered his routines. Then, during a hunt one day, she lured Xue Qinghe away and killed him with the help of two Titled Douluos!]

Boom—!

The Sky Screen continued to change.

But that revelation struck all of Douluo Continent like a bomb.

At the Heaven Dou Empire,

the members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, who had been about to take their leave, stopped abruptly.

Ning Fengzhi's voice tightened. "Xue Qinghe is Qian Renxue?!"

They weren't the only ones shocked. Emperor Xue Ye, who had been seeing them off, was equally stunned. The other members of the royal family stood there, dumbfounded.

Emperor Xue Ye slammed his hand against the dragon throne. "Summon the Crown Prince at once!"

"There's no need."

Sword Douluo's expression shifted. "There's no trace of Xue Qinghe here. They must have guessed what was happening and left early!"

Beside him, space twisted, and Bone Douluo emerged. After carefully sensing the area, he said, "We may still be able to catch up. According to the Sky Screen, the two Titled Douluos guarding Qian Renxue were Porcupinefish and Snake Lance."

"Damn it!"

Emperor Xue Ye roared, coughing uncontrollably. He hurried forward. "Sect Master Ning, please help me! The Heaven Dou Empire will reward you handsomely!"

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo looked toward Ning Fengzhi.

After a moment's thought, the latter smiled. "Your Majesty, you're too kind. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire have always been on good terms. Besides, Qian Renxue deceived me. Even if you hadn't asked me to capture her, I would have brought her back myself."

Then Ning Fengzhi looked at Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo and said,

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Bone."

"Let's go!"

Bone Douluo pointed a finger, and space twisted.

The three of them stepped inside.

Bone Douluo had a unique ability: in addition to defense, he could travel through space. No one could match him in a pursuit.

After the members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect left,

Emperor Xue Ye's expression darkened. He had never imagined that his child had died years ago.

The person who had been by his side all this time was Qian Renxue!

Unforgivable!

"Summon Poison Douluo at once. Today, I'll make Spirit Hall pay!"

Emperor Xue Ye's voice was cold. "Order the army: anyone who attacks Spirit Hall across the Heaven Dou Empire will receive ten thousand gold and the title of Guardian Worshipper. Any Titled Douluo will be made a Guardian Earl!"

However,

just then,

the Sky Screen changed once more, and an even more explosive revelation rang out.

[Qian Renxue used the Six-winged Angel Family's Inherited Soul Bone to disguise herself as Xue Qinghe. Every day, she drugged Emperor Xue Ye, causing his health to steadily deteriorate.]
