The Mystery of the Holy Maiden's Disappearance! The Underground Chamber!

Zhu Chenfei's tearful defense was sincere and deeply moving.

He was almost moved by his own words.

Look at me, what a thoughtful father I am!

Fearing that they were young and inexperienced and might not serve the Deity well, they came over specifically to remind them and plead for their lives.

Even if they didn't achieve anything significant, they must have put in a lot of effort, right?

However, the scene he had envisioned—his daughters turning back in gratitude—did not occur.

His response was nothing but deathly silence.

Even the terrifying killing intent that had previously threatened to tear him to pieces vanished without a trace.

But what replaced it was a gaze that made him feel even more ashamed.

It was a look that mixed disdain, astonishment, and awe.

It's as if they're watching a creature that has redefined the limits of their understanding.

Is it possible to... do this?

The eyes of all the titled Douluo present twitched violently.

Golden Crocodile Douluo stroked his chin, his eyes filled with a strange expression.

"No way...!"

Demon Bear Douluo opened his mouth wide, but before he could finish speaking, Holy Dragon Douluo swiftly covered his mouth.

Even Qian Daoliu's lips twitched.

He always thought he was shameless enough.

Unexpectedly, there are always higher levels to reach and more capable people to rely on!

This person's skin is so thick that it could probably withstand my ninth Soul Skill!

Even Lin Feng gained a new appreciation for the old man's shamelessness and couldn't help but admire him as a "genius."

In the eerie silence, he finally spoke lazily.

"If you want to eat, find a place to sit down."

"If you're not going to eat, please leave. Don't interfere with my business."

His voice was very calm, even carrying a hint of weariness.

Zhu Chenfei, however, seemed to hear heavenly music, and his whole body relaxed suddenly, almost collapsing to the ground.

They weren't kicked out!

Stay and you'll have a chance!

"Eat! Eat! Of course, a little person will eat!"

He scrambled to his feet and picked up the two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone stained with his own nosebleed.

He didn't even bother to wipe the blood off his face; instead, he carefully wiped the blood off the Soul Bone with his sleeve.

Then, with his back hunched and taking small, quick steps, he handed the two Soul Bone back to Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Zhu Yun, Zhu Zhuqing, it's my fault, I was confused."

"As your father, I truly have no intention whatsoever of disrespecting the Deity; please do not misunderstand..."

Zhu Zhuyun, with a cold face, snatched the Soul Bone away, not even bothering to give him a second glance.

Zhu Chenfei was rebuffed, but dared not complain in the slightest. He then covered his still slightly aching nose and sheepishly walked to an empty seat next to Dai Tianfeng.

Seeing his miserable state, Dai Tianfeng not only showed no sympathy, but instead cast a gloating glance at him.

I'll teach you an old bastard to make me suffer in the Star Luo Empire!

They even want to usurp my throne!

Serves you right!

Dai Tianfeng felt incredibly pleased and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Lord Zhu, what a brilliant strategy and cunning you have!"

Zhu Chenfei blushed at his words and could only pick up the menu on the table, pretending to study it carefully to cover up his embarrassment.

However.

His gaze fell upon the prices on the menu.

His fox-like eyes widened instantly, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets!

At the same time.

After dealing with the minor incident involving Zhu Chenfei, Zhu Zhuyun cast a cold glance at Dai Weisi and several Star Luo Empire officials who were still standing dumbfounded at the door.

Her voice was as cold as ice, devoid of any emotion.

"You."

"Eat your meal, or get out?"

Dai Weisi and the others snapped back to their senses in an instant.

Get lost?

Are you kidding me!

They didn't understand what "eating" really meant here.

But anyone who isn't blind can see the ferocious, almost insane, demeanor of those evil spirits from the Spirit Hall and the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as they frantically pursued "food"!

Even a fool could tell that the "food" here is definitely not ordinary food!

This is a restaurant run by Deity! The food here must be divine!

"Eat! Let's eat!"

Dai Weisi shouted almost without hesitation, afraid that if he spoke too slowly he would be kicked out.

The other officials also seemed to wake up from their daze, nodding in agreement, their demeanor even more respectful than when they were attending court to meet the emperor.

After saying that, the group of people consciously moved to the table where Dai Tianfeng and Zhu Chenfei were sitting.

They wouldn't dare compete with those titled Douluo for a spot.

At this point, the Star Luo Empire's delegation finally settled down temporarily. They sat upright, staring at the exorbitantly priced selection list in their hands, collectively falling into a daze and questioning their existence.

At the same time.

Spirit City, Pope Palace.

The library, which held countless secrets of the entire continent, was now completely silent.

A figure, like a ghost, staggered out of the deepest archives room.

Qian Renxue's hair was disheveled and stuck to her cheeks. Her once proud and arrogant face was now deathly pale.

Her body was trembling violently and uncontrollably.

Those golden eyes, which should have been as bright and dazzling as the sun, are now covered with spiderweb-like blood vessels and cracks that are spreading wildly, known as "collapse".

She walked down the empty corridor, her steps unsteady, as if she might collapse at any moment.

One day and one night.

For a full day and night, she didn't close her eyes or eat, and like a madwoman, she turned the vast archives upside down.

She gripped the thin, yet heavy stack of documents in her hand.

The edges of the paper were wrinkled and soaked from being gripped by her trembling fingertips.

"Why..."

Her lips moved, and the sounds she made were hoarse, as if they were being rubbed with sandpaper.

Why... why is it like this?

She didn't find it.

No archives were found that clearly recorded what happened between her father, Qian Xunji, and her mother, Bibi Dong.

That period of history was as if it had been forcibly erased from the river of time by an invisible hand, leaving no trace.

But.

She found something else.

Some seemingly unrelated fragments were enough to piece together a terrifying truth that made her soul tremble.

She found several documents about Bibi A Dong during the Holy Maiden period.

This is recorded above.

"The Holy Maiden Bibi Dong possesses Twin Martial Souls and unparalleled talent. She is a once-in-a-millennium genius of our Spirit Hall, and the strongest talent of the new generation."

These few words reveal just how spirited and radiant she was back then.

"Later, she met Yu Xiaogang, the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, in front of the Spirit Hall's library."

This concludes all information about Bibi Dong.

Just like her name, she herself was erased from this world.

For a full year afterward, the name "Bibi Dong" disappeared from all official records of the Spirit Hall.

She disappeared.

It has completely disappeared.

Qian Renxue refused to believe it and went on a frenzied search, examining almost all the files from that period, but she could not find a single word about her afterward.

Until she discovered a strange record on the logistical consumption list of the Pope Palace.

"Pope Qian Xunji ordered that an extra meal be sent to the Pope's Bedchamber every day."

"Purpose... unknown!"

At the same time, another, earlier architectural file sent chills down Qian Renxue's spine.

"A secret Pope decree has been issued to construct a... secret chamber beneath the Pope's Bedchamber."

"A completely isolated underground chamber, without any windows!"
