"Qinghe, this... what did that Sky Screen just say? My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect..." Ning Fengzhi finally reached his breaking point. After uttering these words to Qian Renxue, his legs gave out, and he collapsed directly to the ground.

"Teacher!"

"Fengzhi!"

Qian Renxue and Chen Xin hurried to bend down and support him.

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect... all disciples slaughtered. Uncle Bone, and even I and Sword Douluo were... Heavens, is the future really going to be like this?" Ning Fengzhi shouted, his composure shattering.

He had always presented himself as a calm and imposing figure, but this time, his state of mind had been dealt a devastating blow.

His Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was destroyed by Martial Soul Hall in the future, and he himself was killed by Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo. How, how could he possibly accept this?

Beside him, Sword Douluo also wore a heavy expression, his heart filled with a complex mix of emotions.

Damn Martial Soul Hall, and that treacherous...

Chen Xin glanced at Qian Renxue, but in the end, he did not voice those thoughts.

In truth, the Crown Prince on the Sky Screen had been acting out of kindness to find him and Fengzhi, and he hadn't expected Martial Soul Hall to follow behind, using the Empire's manpower to track their whereabouts.

Chen Xin was still a reasonable man, knowing how to make excuses for Qian Renxue in his heart.

But Qian Renxue did not think the same way.

"This destruction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the hunt for Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin are all thanks to the Young Master's planning." This was what Chrysanthemum Douluo had said to Bibi Dong on the Sky Screen.

What did this mean?

It meant that she had done it on purpose, deliberately leading the Heaven Dou Empire's army to search the mountains, all to help them, to assist them in finding Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.

The reason she had worn such an ugly expression on the Sky Screen after Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo appeared was merely a disguise. She had appeared as Xue Qinghe leading the Heaven Dou Empire's army, but behind that mask, her heart must have been laughing.

Laughing that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would soon vanish completely, laughing that Martial Soul Hall would have one less rival from that day on.

Therefore, it was awkward.

It was rather awkward to be watching the Sky Screen with the very 'teacher' whose sect and life she would ruin in the future.

How to put it? She felt a little guilty.

The two of them worked together to help Ning Fengzhi to his feet.

Once upright, Ning Fengzhi first cast a complex look at this treacherous disciple of his, then his eyes brimmed with monstrous hatred as he gritted his teeth: "Martial Soul Hall... Ning will never rest until you are destroyed!"

The hatred was real, and the words came from the bottom of his heart, but... Ning Fengzhi was truly terrified now. If he were asked to go against Martial Soul Hall right this moment, he would certainly have to think twice.

At this moment, the Sky Screen continued to play.

[Inside the Pope's Palace.

"Your Holiness the Pope, we are wronged! When we agreed to help Xue Hen hunt soul beasts, it was a mutual exchange of needs. We absolutely had no intention of betraying Martial Soul Hall!" Under the pressure of Bibi Dong's aura, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo continued to plead their innocence.

"Hmph!" Bibi Dong let out a cold snort. Considering she was currently in need of manpower, a slight reprimand was enough; she did not continue to make things difficult for them. She withdrew her pressure and said to the two: "In light of your past contributions, this matter is noted for now. If there is a next time, I will not be so lenient!"

"Yes, thank you, Your Holiness the Pope." The two hurriedly thanked her.

Then, the scene shifted, and Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were seen walking together on the streets of Martial Soul City.

"Old Ghost, don't you think that shrew Bibi Dong is overstepping? The Great Elder already said not to make an enemy of Xue Hen, yet she keeps calling them enemies and insists on finding trouble. We took their items and helped them hunt souls; it was just a transaction. Yet we have to be scolded by her and crushed under her pressure. Does she want me to give up the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum? What a joke!" Chrysanthemum Douluo complained to Ghost Douluo while rubbing his shoulder.

"Indeed, that Ghost Shadow Lingzhi is of great benefit to me as well. Xue Hen offered this price to hire us, and we had no reason to refuse."

"Right? We took the benefits and didn't betray the interests of Martial Soul Hall, yet she talks nonsense and reprimands us. It's truly unreasonable! If she cares so much about Martial Soul Hall, why did she assassinate Chi Xue and She Long, who were protecting the Young Master, causing Martial Soul Hall to lose two Title Douluo combatants for nothing?" Chrysanthemum Douluo said with dissatisfaction and disdain.

Hearing this, Ghost Douluo was startled. He hurriedly covered Chrysanthemum Douluo's mouth and looked left and right. Seeing that the people around were quite far away, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he warned Chrysanthemum Douluo: "You can't just say things like that. It would be bad if it reached the Young Master's ears, you know?"

"I know, I won't say it again. I just can't stand how Bibi Dong can damage the interests of Martial Soul Hall to consolidate her own power, yet we can't help others hunt soul beasts for the sake of immortal herbs. It's double standards, such double standards!" Chrysanthemum Douluo complained angrily like a child.

"Sigh!" Gui Mei shook his head helplessly.]

"What?" Under the Sky Screen, Qian Renxue's eyes widened, her initial awkwardness instantly replaced by shock.

Immediately after, her hands clenched into fists.

Uncle Chi Xue and Uncle She Long... will be killed by that woman in the future...

Nearby, Ning Fengzhi burst into loud laughter, his expression somewhat manic: "So Martial Soul Hall is killing its own from within. This is truly ironic, ironic indeed!"

"Hmph, dogs biting dogs," Chen Xin added with a cold snort.

Neither of them paid attention to Qian Renxue's loss of composure, assuming she was shocked that Martial Soul Hall was not united and that the Pope would actually assassinate two of her own Title Douluo.

To be honest, they were quite shocked themselves.

Immediately, they thought of a rumor that had begun to spread rapidly over the past few days: the previous Pope of Martial Soul Hall, Qian Xunji, was not killed by Clear Sky Douluo, but by the hands of his beloved disciple, the current Pope, Bibi Dong!

Regarding the death of Qian Xunji, the Sky Screen had previously shown images related to it. Although there weren't many, Bibi Dong was indeed a suspect.

And the 'Young Master' in the mouths of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo must be that Qian Renxue, right?

Bibi Dong assassinated the two Title Douluo protecting Qian Renxue to consolidate her own power. This was to clip Qian Renxue's wings, fearing that she would one day snatch the position of Pope back from her!

For Bibi Dong to treat the child of her own teacher this way... perhaps Qian Xunji really was... (They did not yet know that Qian Renxue was also Bibi Dong's daughter.)

Not far away, on a hidden rooftop.

"Chi Xue, did you hear that? We will die at the hands of that woman, Bibi Dong, in the future!" Snake Lance Douluo said to the Porcupinefish Douluo beside him, his face looking incredibly grim.

Porcupinefish Douluo stared at the Sky Screen without a word, merely nodding once. But through his clenched fists, one could see that his heart was far from calm.
