Slaughter

The sun gradually rose, and as the crowds in the Black Market dispersed, Bibi Dong and Qin Yuan returned to their inn.

For several days afterward, Bibi Dong scoured the Black Market, making purchases.

It was evident that many of the treasures she acquired were related to spirit masters with mental abilities, undoubtedly being prepared for Hu Liena.

On the fourth day, a spirit bone appeared in the Black Market.

This was a spirit bone with a lifespan of up to twenty thousand years, and it was the ultimate objective of Bibi Dong's trip.

This spirit bone originated from an elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, not a living elder, but one who had been dead for many years.

Some powerful individuals were very superstitious and did not wish for their bodies to be desecrated after death, which would affect their good fortune in the afterlife. Those who possessed spirit bones often sought a safe place to pass away before their death.

However, this spirit bone was found by a Soul Hunting Squad.

Initially, the Soul Hunting Squad brought it to an auction house within the Star Luo Empire for trade. Later, it was discovered by members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the auction house, not daring to offend the Upper Three Sects, returned the spirit bone.

Afterward, the Soul Hunting Squad was pursued by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and eventually, the spirit bone fell into the hands of an unknown powerful individual.

Compared to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Martial Soul Hall's intelligence was more precise.

The seller, fearing covetous eyes, saw that there were no intense conflicts in the Black Market over the past few days and no trace of Titled Douluo powerhouses nearby, thus choosing to put the spirit bone up for sale.

Of course, the seller's own strength should not be underestimated.

The price of a spirit bone was by no means low, and with the seller revealing the strength of a Soul Douluo, most passersby could only sigh in regret.

Soul Douluo powerhouses were few in number on the continent, and most were well-known figures. Yet, this seller seemed to have never appeared on the continent, and no one recognized his identity.

In the shadows, powerhouses from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were stirring restlessly.

They appeared here also to contend for the spirit bone.

However, compared to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's lineup, the strongest of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was only an initial-stage Spirit Saint, which seemed rather meager. On the other hand, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had a peak Spirit Saint, but no one stronger.

After all, neither side was certain beforehand that the spirit bone would appear in the Black Market, and they had not deployed too many powerhouses here, making them stretched thin at the moment and insufficient to seize the spirit bone.

With her objective achieved, Bibi Dong no longer concealed her identity; in other words, no one present could carry news of her appearance out.

Yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, red – nine spirit rings were displayed without concealment.

Among them, starting from her second spirit ring, she had absorbed spirit rings beyond the normal lifespan, and her ninth spirit ring had reached the level of one hundred thousand years.

In this era where Limit Douluos had disappeared, a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring was undoubtedly a legendary artifact.

A woman possessing such a spirit ring configuration, and being a Titled Douluo, how could the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan not know her identity?

"Greetings, Your Eminence the Pope." They knelt on one knee, offering their salutes.

Qin Yuan shook his head inwardly.

At this moment, he wasn't worried about his own safety. Bibi Dong had inquired about the details of his movement techniques a few days prior, and he wouldn't die as long as he still had value.

The experts from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had acted too cleverly, revealing Bibi Dong's identity. Were they afraid they wouldn't die fast enough?

Bibi Dong had been traveling incognito precisely to avoid anyone knowing of her presence. Yet, they had gone and blurted it out.

The Black Market was filled with all sorts of riff-raff. In less than two days, the entire continent would know of Bibi Dong's whereabouts.

Bibi Dong's expression turned cold, a sinister smile appearing at the corner of her lips. "Very well, all of you shall die."

"Death Domain, Slaughter God's Domain."

With the activation of the dual domains, the entire Black Market was enveloped, and no one could escape.

The next instant, an invisible force flung Qin Yuan out of the domain's range.

When Qin Yuan regained his footing, a hellish scene unfolded within the domain.

Due to the domain's obstruction, no sound could be heard from the outside. However, within Qin Yuan's sight, countless people's bodies were melted by the domain, turning into pools of viscous liquid that splattered across the ground.

That Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone was easily pocketed by Bibi Dong. The Soul Douluo expert attempted to resist but was pierced through the body by a Spider Spear, dying a most definitive death.

Of course, this included the experts from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Qin Yuan had some connections with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but not enough for him to risk his own life to rescue them.

After everyone was dead, Bibi Dong struck the ground with a palm. The ground was as if it had been plowed, with no bodies or pus visible.

With events having reached this point, Bibi Dong's objectives were all achieved.

Bibi Dong naturally intended to bring Qin Yuan back to Martial Soul Hall. However, the news brought by Ghost Douluo caused her to change her mind.

Just as Qin Yuan had said, he was merely taking money to do a job. Although he had connections with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he had rejected their attempts to recruit him several times.

Forcing Qin Yuan to join Martial Soul Hall might make him unwilling to diligently teach Hu Liena and the others. It would be better to let him go for now and decide later.

Bibi Dong regarded Hu Liena as her own daughter and desperately wished for Hu Liena to inherit her legacy.

Qin Yuan might be insignificant, but that elegant movement technique was something even Bibi Dong coveted and had to obtain.

Seeing Bibi Dong's change in attitude, Qin Yuan appeared slightly surprised. "Your Eminence the Pope is not letting me go to Martial Soul City anymore?"

Bibi Dong glanced at him and sneered, "You are a sensible person. I have already obtained all your information. You had best maintain your boundaries."

"Go back and wait. I will send someone to find you. If you are willing to hand over your Movement Technique Cultivation Profundity, I will give you unexpected benefits."

After speaking, Bibi Dong's figure disappeared.

Qin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

His idea was correct. As long as he showed enough value, Bibi Dong wouldn't dare to do anything to him.

Of course, what truly allowed him to escape was that he had no affiliated faction, and his relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was merely a financial one.

As long as Bibi Dong could gain significant benefits from him in the future, she would naturally be willing to be patient.

Expanding the market related to the Martial Soul Hall was also Qin Yuan's request.

Regardless of Bibi Dong's attitude, this market had been opened. He hoped Bibi Dong would bring him High-Star Missions, allowing him to obtain better System Rewards.

On the way, Ghost Douluo couldn't help but ask, "Your Eminence, you're just letting that fellow go?"

Bibi Dong responded coldly, "If he is sensible, does not leak today's events, and is willing to work for me, I don't mind giving him some sweeteners."

Whether he joined the Martial Soul Hall was not important. What was important was whether Qin Yuan was willing to work for the Martial Soul Hall.

If Qin Yuan could be summoned at any time and could keep secrets, such a person, who would be unrelated to the Martial Soul Hall if something happened, had no reason not to make good use of him.

Moreover, Bibi Dong felt that Qin Yuan had more secrets, and his movement technique might just be one of them.

A mature Cultivation Method was enough to be a treasured heirloom; there was no reason not to obtain it.

Besides, the Martial Soul Hall had spies within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If Qin Yuan leaked any information, the Martial Soul Hall would know immediately.
