Putting Up Hair in the Little Grove

In the little grove~ putting up hair

The energy erupting from the core area reached Pope's Palace and the two great empires, prompting them all to dispatch powerful experts.

Even Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu set out in person.

By the time they arrived, it was already too late.

Everything had long since returned to its usual calm.

"Could it be that expert again?"

Bibi Dong carefully sensed the surrounding aura.

Judging from the lingering traces, it was merely a level ninety Titled Douluo.

But what truly terrified her upon reflection was the appearance of two extraordinarily high-level Soul Beasts.

Those were auras she had never sensed before, surpassing even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts—perhaps even reaching two hundred thousand years.

The only Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts she knew of were the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. She had never imagined that even more powerful Soul Beasts existed within the Star Dou Great Forest.

Chrysanthemum Douluo came before Bibi Dong and respectfully said, "Your Holiness, I have inspected the area. I found nothing unusual."

"Return!"

Bibi Dong swept her gaze over the area once more. Finding nothing amiss, she left.

Qian Daoliu, hidden in the shadows, likewise found nothing unusual. After giving Qianjun Subduing Demons a few instructions, he departed as well.

As for Qianjun Subduing Demons, he remained behind to lie in wait for Chen Ping'an.

"This is already the fourth time. Who exactly is that person?"

Even Qian Daoliu could not figure it out.

Who exactly was that person? Four times in a row, yet they had failed to catch even a glimpse of his true self.

Bibi Dong was pondering the same question.

She was afraid too—afraid that a powerful expert would suddenly emerge and prevent her from becoming a god.

Afraid that this expert would ruin her plans.

"Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, pass down the order. Move up the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament. All our plans must be moved forward as well."

Still uneasy, Bibi Dong could only push her plans ahead of schedule.

The emergence of such an expert truly made her worry.

It would be fine if he chose to stand on her side. But if he stood against her—

Spirit Hall might well become the next Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Yes!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo answered in unison.

They had never seen Bibi Dong like this before, and they understood that the appearance of that expert had already shattered the balance.

From this point onward, every plan needed to be carefully reconsidered.

"Who exactly is that person?"

Far away in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi and the others were also deeply troubled.

Because he knew that the repeated energy fluctuations erupting from the Star Dou Great Forest had certainly been caused by Chen Ping'an.

And their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had offended such an expert.

The consequences were terrifying to contemplate.

Ning Fengzhi looked at Sword Douluo and asked, "Sword Uncle, what should we do?"

After losing an arm, Chen Xin's Soul Power had broken through to level ninety-seven.

Though he had reached level ninety-seven, it was still far from enough.

"The only way is to seek cooperation with the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Only then will we have a sliver of hope."

Chen Xin let out a long sigh. Even though he had reached level ninety-seven, recalling his battle with Chen Ping'an still made his heart tremble.

That absolute, overwhelming power was simply not something he could match now.

Even if he joined forces with Bone Douluo, they still might not be able to contend with him.

Ning Fengzhi sighed. "The Clear Sky Sect has secluded itself from the world, while the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is a bunch of stubborn fools. Difficult—far too difficult."

He knew those sects all too well.

If the Clear Sky Sect were willing to reemerge, then with their status as possessors of the world's strongest Tool Spirit and the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, they would be enough to sweep the world.

What a pity.

Every last one of them was a coward.

"Heaven truly means to destroy my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

Ning Fengzhi could only rage helplessly.

"Fengzhi, Old Bones, guard the sect well. I will visit the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to see whether I can persuade them."

Chen Xin rose to his feet. This was their only option.

Moreover, he had noticed that Spirit Hall had grown increasingly powerful. It was no longer something the Upper Three Sects could handle.

If they did not unite with them soon, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would end up like the Clear Sky Sect.

The outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Chen Ping'an brought Bi Ji and Bear Monarch and successfully met up with Wang Ke.

Wang Ke was somewhat surprised by the sudden appearance of the two mysterious people.

"Master Chen, these two are...?"

Wang Ke could not discern their true levels, which proved that their actual strength exceeded hers. They might even be Titled Douluo experts.

"These two are my little followers, Bi Ji and Bear Monarch. If you need anything with your cultivation in the future, you can ask either of them."

"Uh... oh, okay." Wang Ke nodded.

Bi Ji and Bear Monarch did not pay much attention to her. Instead, they were looking around at their surroundings.

They had not left the Star Dou Great Forest for tens of thousands of years, and they were very curious about the human world.

"Alright, Bear Monarch, take them to cultivate properly. As for Bi Ji, come with me."

After settling the arrangements, Chen Ping'an left with Bi Ji.

With Bear Monarch, a Super Douluo, present, no one in the world could hurt them.

"Alright, Ping An Gege." Bi Ji nodded and followed after him.

Chen Ping'an brought Bi Ji back to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The moment they arrived at the Lake of Life, Chen Ping'an got straight to the point. "You rank fourth among the Ten Ferocious Beasts, so you must know where Di Tian is, right?"

Bi Ji had not expected Chen Ping'an to ask such a question, much less to know of Di Tian's existence.

Di Tian had entered seclusion tens of thousands of years ago.

Other than the few great Ferocious Beasts, no Soul Beast knew of Di Tian's existence—not even the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

"What Di Tian? I don't understand. I've never heard of him."

Bi Ji directly played dumb and shook her head.

Chen Ping'an chuckled. "Heh. Since I could use the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape as bait to lure you out, I naturally know of your existence. You had better tell the truth. Otherwise, that white light will not be able to protect you a second time."

"Or did you really think that one little cow and one little monkey could escape my Immortal Slaying Sword? How ridiculous."

"This..."

Only then did Bi Ji realize that she had been tricked. His ultimate purpose had merely been to lure them out.

"Who exactly are you? What do you want?"

"Our Soul Beasts and your hundred-level experts signed a treaty tens of thousands of years ago. We do not infringe upon each other. Are you planning to violate that treaty?"

"I am not some hundred-level expert. Besides, I am only eighteen this year."

Chen Ping'an patted Bi Ji on the shoulder and continued, "If you refuse to tell me, then forget it. Before long, he will come out on his own."

"As for you right now."

"Put your hair up."

"Ah..."

Bi Ji froze.

As a Soul Beast who had lived for so many years, she naturally understood what that meant. But this was right beside the Lake of Life.

Yet Chen Ping'an's strength was right before her eyes, and she did not dare disobey. She could only do so in this little grove~

By the Lake of Life~
