Bibi Dong, You're So Pitiful! Qian Ye's Terrifying Power!

Outside Jialing Pass, the Heaven Dou Empire's main camp.

Shrek's envy of Qian Yu was practically tangible, filling the entire tent.

Just then, an incomparably domineering aura descended.

The tent flap moved without wind, and a burly figure stood at the entrance like a mountain. Merely standing there made the air inside the tent grow heavy.

The man had a resolute face, disheveled hair draped over his shoulders, and eyes that were weathered yet tyrannical. It was none other than the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao.

"Dad, why are you here?"

Seeing him, Tang San's face lit up with surprise, and he hurriedly rose to greet him.

Yet Tang Hao did not look at him. His deep gaze swept across the crowd before finally settling on Yu Xiaogang, his voice heavy as a bell.

"Something happened."

He spoke only three words, yet the atmosphere inside the tent instantly froze.

Yu Xiaogang adjusted the glasses on his nose and asked gravely.

"Tang Hao, what happened?"

Tang Hao turned his gaze outside, as though he could pierce through the void and see scenes thousands of miles away.

"The Great Tang Empire has deployed troops against both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire."

The entire tent was stunned by those words.

Yu Xiaogang's expression changed first, and he blurted out.

"What? Why would the Great Tang Empire attack the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire?"

He could not understand it.

In his eyes, while the Great Tang Empire was mysterious and powerful, it had always remained secluded in its own corner and had never shown any ambition to expand.

Why had it suddenly sent out troops now?

A trace of gravity also appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's usually cool and beautiful face.

Her red lips parted, and her voice was crisp but carried a hint of worry.

"The Great Tang Empire has always stayed out of worldly affairs and never waged war abroad. This truly is difficult to understand."

"What exactly does that Empress Wu Zetian intend to do?"

The Shrek group exchanged glances, their hearts filled with immense confusion.

Spirit Hall alone had already left them overwhelmed. Now, there was also the unfathomable Great Tang Empire.

The road ahead seemed to have been shrouded in a thick shadow.

However, a proud look appeared on Tang San's face. He clenched his fists, purple light flashing in his eyes.

"Hmph, the Great Tang Empire truly does not know its place. It actually dares deploy troops against our Two Great Empires. It is simply courting death!"

"Once we crush Spirit Hall, they will be next!"

His words brimmed with powerful confidence, as though he did not regard the Great Tang Empire as a threat at all.

Zhu Zhuqing, however, gently shook her head. Her analysis was far more composed.

"Tang San, do not underestimate them."

"Spirit Hall alone is already difficult enough for us to resist."

"If the Great Tang Empire is added to the equation, we will have no chance of victory whatsoever."

She paused, her beautiful eyes turning toward the ranking list in the sky as her voice grew even heavier.

"Do not forget that Si Kongzhen, whose Super God Level Five Thunder Drum has just risen to twelfth place on the Spirit Ranking, belongs to the Great Tang Empire."

Those words were like a basin of cold water poured over everyone's hearts.

That was right. Si Kongzhen alone could fight Bibi Dong with her Twin Martial Souls fully unleashed to a standstill, and he even held a slight advantage.

How many more such experts were there within the Great Tang Empire?

Worry covered Ning Rongrong's delicate face. She looked toward Yu Xiaogang, her voice trembling slightly.

"Master, what should we do?"

For a time, everyone's gaze in the tent focused on Yu Xiaogang.

He was Shrek's soul and their pillar of support.

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, and a confident smile unexpectedly appeared on his face.

He raised a hand, signaling everyone to quiet down.

"Everyone, there is no need to panic."

"As far as I know, Empress Wu Zetian of the Great Tang Empire and Pope Bibi Dong of Spirit Hall have a close personal relationship."

"I will write another letter to Bibi Dong and have her come see me at once."

"As long as I personally mediate and make them understand the stakes, I can persuade Bibi Dong and Wu Zetian to join forces. When that happens, the Great Tang Empire will not only cease to be our enemy, but will instead become a powerful aid in our fight against Spirit Hall!"

Yu Xiaogang's words rang with force and confidence.

The Shrek group was first stunned, then ecstatic expressions appeared on their faces.

"Master is wise!"

"That is right! We can have Bibi Dong persuade Wu Zetian!"

"If that works, it would be wonderful!"

Cheers immediately rang out through the tent, and the previous gloom was swept away.

Only Tang Hao, watching the supremely confident Yu Xiaogang, had a glint flash deep within his weathered eyes.

Extreme North, atop the throne of ice and snow.

Two peerlessly beautiful women stood side by side, gazing up at the Heavenly Screen above.

One wore a snow-white dress, her aura ethereal and holy, like an immortal untouched by the mortal world. She was the Snow Empress.

The other wore a fitted emerald-green outfit, with a voluptuous figure and a bewitchingly charming face. She was the Ice Empress.

Looking at the annotation after "Gongsun Li" on the Heavenly Screen, deep shock appeared on the Snow Empress's lovely face.

"An ultimate expert ranked ninth on the Spirit Ranking, Gongsun Li... was actually only someone's personal maid?"

Her voice carried a trace of fluctuation.

The Ice Empress's emerald eyes were likewise filled with astonishment.

"Who exactly is this Qian Yu? How could he make someone like Gongsun Li willingly become his personal maid?"

She licked her seductive red lips, her tone carrying a touch of teasing.

"A personal maid has to do everything."

"When there is work, the maid does it. When there is no work... he does the maid."

"Gongsun Li is ranked ninth on the Spirit Ranking. Her strength is at least at the peak of the Titled Douluo level, yet she is willing to go this far for Qian Yu?"

At those words, a blush rose on the Snow Empress's fair cheeks, and she shot her a reproachful glance.

"What nonsense are you saying?"

Yet her heart was also filled with curiosity about the man named Qian Yu.

What kind of charm and strength could make a proud daughter of heaven bow her head so completely?

Spirit City, Douluo Hall.

The atmosphere in Worship Hall had already become taut with hostility.

The Heavenly Screen's announcement regarding Gongsun Li did not calm Bibi Dong down. Instead, it was like adding fuel to the fire, causing the jealousy and rage in her heart to burn even more fiercely.

"Gongsun Li... Gongsun Li!"

She ground out the name through clenched teeth, her violet eyes bloodshot.

"She is merely a maid. What gives her martial soul the right to rank ninth? What gives her the right to rank higher than mine?!"

"And that Qian Yu! That Wasted! Her martial soul is so powerful, yet she is still willing to become that Wasted's personal maid?"

"I do not believe it! I absolutely refuse to believe this is real!"

Bibi Dong roared hysterically, as though she had gone mad.

She could not accept that everything she had been so proud of seemed so laughable beside that man.

One Cai Wenji, ranked tenth.

One Gongsun Li, ranked ninth.

Both of them were connected to that man!

That made her feel worse than being killed!
