Spirit Hall, Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong sat on the Pope's Chair, staring at the newly appeared name on the Heavenly Curtain. Her dignified, regal face was tightly furrowed.
Dark Night Arena again?
Including the previous three, this made four!
Only five people had been announced in total, yet this obscure Duel Arena had taken four spots all by itself!
"What kind of force is this?"
Bibi Dong lightly tapped her scepter with her fingers.
"Could it be that this Arena Master truly has three thousand beauties and has gathered up all the beautiful women across the continent?"
The thought made the unease in her heart grow even stronger. She turned toward Chrysanthemum Douluo below, her tone becoming stern.
"Where is Ghostly? Has he not sent back any news?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo hurriedly stepped forward and forced himself to speak.
"Reporting to Your Holiness, the elder in charge of intelligence just sent word."
"Old Ghost... actually found the Duel Arena's location long ago. It is inside Heaven Dou City."
"In Heaven Dou City?" Bibi Dong's gaze sharpened.
"Yes." Chrysanthemum Douluo swallowed and continued, "But Old Ghost reported that..."
"Although that place looks like an ordinary Duel Arena, there is always something strange about it that makes even his heart pound in alarm."
"To be safe, he did not dare infiltrate it rashly. He decided to first visit the Young Master and learn more about the situation..."
"Smack!"
Bibi Dong slammed her hand against the armrest, disgust flashing through her eyes.
"Hmph! That useless Qian Renxue!"
"She has been undercover in Heaven Dou City for twenty whole years! Yet she failed to notice a force right under her nose?"
"She never even sent back a single piece of intelligence!"
"And Ghostly still has to ask her? What a complete waste of time!"
