Ordinary soldiers and low-level soul masters would become mindless undead puppets under Bibi Dong's control.
Powerful Title Douluo, on the other hand, could retain their full consciousness. After being resurrected, their strength would even increase slightly, but they would be bound by Rakshasa God Power and obey Bibi Dong's commands.
Qian Xunye did know about this, but he had never expected Bibi Dong, who was only a level 91 Title Douluo, to be able to resurrect herself through the Death Spiral Formation.
The Rakshasa God must have intervened.
"Bibi Dong, your life is really tough! So, you stole my younger brother's corpse because you wanted to resurrect him after becoming a god and have us brothers kill each other?" Qian Xunye's killing intent soared to the heavens. "Good! Very good!"
"Since you're not dead, then I'll kill you again!"
"Hide well! Don't let me find you!!"
Bibi Dong had indeed been resurrected when a wisp of residual will left within her by the Rakshasa God activated the Death Spiral Formation.
She had indeed become Undead Bibi Dong.
And as Qian Xunye had guessed, she had taken Qian Xunji's remains because she wanted to resurrect Qian Xunji after becoming a god, then have Qian Xunye kill Qian Xunye.
Bibi Dong wanted to watch this spectacle of brothers slaughtering each other!
Back at the Hall of Consecration.
"This is bad! Great Consecrator, Young Master Xunye is gone!" Qian Jun and Demon Subduing hurriedly reported.
"What! How did he disappear again? You two were guarding him personally, and you still let him slip away?" Qian Daoliu looked helpless. Then he suddenly thought of something. "Wait! Could he be the one who stole Bibi Dong's and Xun Ji's remains?"
"Impossible, Great Consecrator. The timing lines up. It couldn't have been Young Master Xunye," Qian Jun and Demon Subduing said with certainty.
At that moment, a soul master came rushing over. "Report!!"
"Great Consecrator, this subordinate just encountered Young Master Xunye. He asked this subordinate to deliver a message to you!"
Qian Daoliu said, "Speak!"
"Young Master Qian Xunye said that Bibi Dong isn't dead. She has been resurrected, and we must immediately mobilize everyone to track her down!"
"Not dead? Bibi Dong was clearly dead through and through." Qian Daoliu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to trust Qian Xunye's message. He immediately gave the order. "Send the order! Mobilize all Title Douluo-level elders and every available hand! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find Bibi Dong for me!!"
"Yes!!"
Qian Daoliu gave another order. "Qian Jun, Demon Subduing, Xunye escaped right under your noses. No matter what method you use, bring that rebellious brat back to me!"
"Uh, alright!"
Qian Jun and Demon Subduing looked helpless.
Meanwhile, Qian Xunye was already on his way to Sunset Forest.
"I hope that old bastard listens to me and sends people to investigate Bibi Dong's whereabouts."
If a Title Douluo wanted to hide and vanish without a trace, it would be difficult for Qian Xunye to find them alone. Only an organization like Spirit Hall, whose influence spanned the entire Douluo Continent, had a chance of discovering Bibi Dong's whereabouts.
For the time being, Qian Xunye put Bibi Dong out of his mind and hurried toward Sunset Forest at top speed.
Several days later.
Qian Xunye finally arrived before Sunset Forest.
Gazing at the gloomy forest before him, he spread his black angel wings, beat them, and decisively flew inside.
Sunset Forest was home to countless poisonous soul beasts, as well as a vast forest shrouded in toxic mist.
But all he had to do was fly in from above.
"Hm? The green toxic mist here is even thicker than when I came over a decade ago. It seems Dugu Bo had already claimed this place long ago."
A sharp glint flashed through Qian Xunye's eyes. "If this little Dugu Bo doesn't know what's good for him, I'll have no choice but to suppress him."
Shortly afterward.
Whoosh!
Bang!
Qian Xunye descended from the sky and landed steadily.
He landed directly inside the cave, near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"I'm here." Qian Xunye glanced at the darkening sky, and the corner of his mouth curved upward. "Hehe, the timing is perfect. Night has fallen."
"My strongest time of day."
At that moment, a cloud of green toxic mist swept toward him. Then Dugu Bo, his head full of green hair, slowly emerged from within it.
His expression was icy, as though he were looking at a dead man. Dugu Bo said arrogantly, "Hey, friend, you just swaggered right in, fresh as a daisy?"
"Heh, you really didn't try to hide yourself at all!"
Qian Xunye shrugged and said indifferently, "You would have found me anyway. What was there to hide?"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly. "This is my residence for cultivation. Do you know that trespassing into another person's residence can bring about a deadly disaster?"
"Do you know who I am?"
"Aren't you just an old poisonous snake who plays with poison? I know. So what?" Qian Xunye said calmly.
Killing intent had already appeared in Dugu Bo's eyes. "Since you know who I am, you still dared to barge in so openly. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
"You're merely a level 91 Title Douluo. What is there to fear?" Qian Xunye did not take Dugu Bo seriously at all.
The Poison Douluo's group combat ability was indeed outstanding. He could poison an entire city to death in an instant.
He might not be able to defeat any Title Douluo, but he could reduce you to nothing but the title of Title Douluo.
However, Dugu Bo's one-on-one combat ability was indeed mediocre, not even as good as level 91 Bibi Dong's.
If Qian Xunye made a move, he would still utterly crush Dugu Bo.
"Merely a level 91 Title Douluo? Arrogant! It seems you don't know what a Title Douluo is!!" Killing intent surged around Dugu Bo as the Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor Martial Soul emerged. Beneath his feet appeared nine rings: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.
"You're courting death!!"
Dugu Bo's personality was as vicious as a snake's. If he did not move, he was still; once he moved, he gave it his all.
In that instant, he erupted with terrifying power, intending to kill Qian Xunye in a single blow.
"You think you're the only Title Douluo!!"
Dark power raged as Qian Xunye instantly released the Dark Angel Martial Soul, revealing nine rings as well. He threw an incomparably fierce punch at Dugu Bo.
"What! He's also a nine-ringed Title Douluo!" Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically.
Boom!
"Get lost!!"
"Urgh!" Dugu Bo was sent flying by Qian Xunye's punch. His body slammed violently across the ground several times before finally crashing into a stone wall.
That punch completely stunned Dugu Bo.
Anyone on the continent who could cultivate to the Title Douluo realm was renowned in the soul master world. Thus, Dugu Bo had instinctively regarded Qian Xunye as a soul master below the Title Douluo level, only to discover that he was also a Title Douluo.
Dugu Bo no longer had his earlier bearing of a powerhouse and became much more restrained. He asked warily, "Who exactly are you, and what do you want by coming to my residence?"
"I came to take a few rare herbs. If you know what's good for you, move aside and stay out of my way."
Although Dugu Bo did not know what these immortal herbs were used for, he knew they were all rare treasures of the world.
Dugu Bo was also someone who yielded to softness but not force. He snorted coldly. "These are all my medicinal herbs. I treasure them like precious jewels. How could I let you take them just because you say so!"
