A Huge Conspiracy

The crowd scattered and fled, pushing and trampling, creating complete chaos.

Bibi Dong shouted, "Martial Soul Federation, listen to my command! You are only allowed to advance, but you must not harm innocent civilians!"

"Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy."

With her command, tens of thousands of Soul Master landed in an orderly fashion behind her, quickly taking control of the main streets and thoroughfares, but did not attack the panicked civilians.

This move, ironically, stunned several gangs in the city who had been itching to make a move.

They had been entrenched here for years, relying on their ruthlessness and brutality, but the discipline and suffocating oppression displayed by the army before them instilled fear in them to the core.

"What... what kind of monster is this?"

"That woman's aura is a hundred times more terrifying than the gang leader's!"

"Retreat! Retreat now! This battle is unwinnable!"

Several usually arrogant gang leaders abandoned the city and fled with their men.

Bibi Dong ignored this and led her army forward steadily like a bulldozer.

Starting from a small coastal town, we headed inland.

The so-called "forces" entrenched along the way were utterly laughable in the face of this iron torrent led by Titled Douluo and composed of tens of thousands of Soul Master.

They either fled at the first sign of trouble or surrendered on their knees; they encountered almost no decent resistance.

As night fell, the army set up camp on an open plain.

Bibi Dong sat alone in the central command tent, a simple map spread out in front of her, but her mind was not on it at all.

Suddenly, she abruptly raised her head and sensed an unusual power.

"Will there be any problems?"

She immediately got up and left the tent.

Just then, Ling Yuan, carrying a lunchbox, saw Bibi Dong standing outside gazing at the starry sky and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong, Sister Dong'er? Why aren't you resting so late at night? Is there something interesting in the sky?"

Bibi Dong frowned. "Can't you feel it?"

"What do you feel?"

Ling Yuan looked up blankly, mimicking Bibi Dong's expression, and asked, "Besides the stars and the moon, what else is there?"

"Nothing."

Bibi Dong withdrew her gaze, a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes. "You stay here and keep an eye on the army. I'll go check the situation first."

As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared from the spot.

Ling Yuan stood frozen in the wind, holding the food box. "What's wrong? You're not eating, and you're acting all mysterious..."

Bibi Dong was moving extremely fast. As she continued to fly westward, the temperature in the air seemed to drop, and the dark aura grew stronger and stronger, even beginning to erode the surrounding light.

Until she flew over a city called Sun Moon City.

The sky here was covered with dark clouds, and the moon and stars that should have been hanging in the sky were nowhere to be seen. The entire city was shrouded in darkness.

"It seems we're not far from here."

Bibi Dong suppressed the fluctuations of her divine power, perfectly concealing the murderous aura of the Asura God within her body.

Immediately, he flew silently toward the gathering place of the Dark Divine Power.

Deep in the Evil Demon Forest--

Bibi Dong stepped into the void and silently arrived at the edge of the forest.

She squinted and, through the layers of mist, saw a group of furtive people moving about in the distance.

These people were all dressed in wide black robes, their faces hidden in the shadows of their hoods, revealing only pairs of fierce and menacing eyes, and they reeked of a nauseating stench of blood.

Following the route these people took, Bibi Dong soon discovered a hidden cave entrance at the foot of a nearby mountain wall.

"That's interesting."

Bibi Dong did not rush to appear and launch a strong attack. Instead, she raised her right hand, put her index and middle fingers together, and sent a divine thought into the mind of a lone man in black robes.

The man in black robes shuddered, his previously cloudy eyes instantly becoming empty and lifeless, as if his soul had been instantly ripped away.

"Let's go in and take a look," Bibi Dong softly, her lips barely moving.

Through the perspective of the puppet controlled by divine will, Bibi Dong "saw" the scene behind the cave entrance.

Passing through the entrance, the interior is not the natural cave one might imagine, but a huge underground space that has been artificially excavated.

The passageways here are crisscrossed, like an ant nest, with countless tunnels extending in all directions; one could easily get lost if not careful.

With a thought, Bibi Dong manipulated the puppet to walk deeper into the main passage.

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding Dark Divine Power grew increasingly intense.

However, just as the puppet passed through the three passageways and was about to enter the fourth level, two black-robed guards wielding sharp blades blocked its path.

The two individuals were surging with Soul Power, indicating they were both Soul Douluo- level experts.

"Huh? Halt! Where are you going?" a guard shouted sternly.

The puppet replied woodenly, "I... I want to go down."

"Go down?"

The guard sized up the puppet, his eyes filled with disdain and mockery. "Why don't you take a good look at yourself? What right do you have to go down there? Go back to guard the entrance!"

Bibi Dong sneered and manipulated the puppet to continue walking forward, seemingly unintentionally reaching out to put her hand on the guard's shoulder.

"You're courting death!" the guard roared in fury. Just as he was about to make a move, he felt a vast, ocean-like Spiritual Power surge into his mind.

In an instant, divine sense directly impacted his body and soul. The Soul Douluo- level guard's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed limply to the ground, unconscious.

Before the other guard could react, Bibi Dong killed him with a single palm strike using a puppet.

After eliminating the guards, Bibi Dong controlled the puppet to continue downwards.

The deeper one goes, the dimmer the surrounding light becomes. The occasional lights on the walls do not bring light, but instead add to the eeriness and horror.

After walking for over a thousand meters, the view suddenly opened up before me.

Through the puppet's eyes, Bibi Dong finally saw the entire underground scene, and even she, with her vast experience, couldn't help but feel surprised.

This is a huge underground cavern, in the center of which stands a magnificent yet eerie underground church.

The church's architectural style is distorted and bizarre, with its spire drooping.

In the center of the church, thousands of worshippers dressed in black robes were densely packed together.

They raised their hands, their bodies swaying to a strange rhythm, muttering obscure and incomprehensible words.

At the deepest part of the church stands a colossal golem, tens of meters tall.

The golem was entirely black and had a hideous face.

At the foot of the golem, a man draped in a magnificent black robe stood with his back to the entrance, his hands raised high, chanting passionately.

Bibi Dong's gaze passed over the man and went to the shadows behind him.

There, five figures hung suspended.

They were pierced through the collarbone by thick iron chains, hanging in mid-air, their fate unknown.

Despite their disheveled state, Bibi Dong recognized them at a glance.

They were, respectively, the Dean Skywater Academy, the Dean of the Plant Academy, a fat, red-haired man, and an elderly man.
