"What right do you have? What right!"
"Your son bullied me back then, and now you want to bully me too!"
Watching Qian Daoliu leave, Bibi Dong trembled with fury and shouted, her expression somewhat savage.
"Fine! If you want to kill him, then I'll protect him to my dying breath!"
Bibi Dong gripped the Pope's Scepter. A mass of black light suddenly appeared in her eyes, carrying a sinister, uncanny air.
The aura around her changed considerably as well.
"Qian Daoliu, I won't let you interfere in my affairs as Pope again!"
Bibi Dong spoke coldly, then turned back to her throne and sat down, her expression icy.
Everyone around her shook with fear.
Qian Daoliu returned to the Worship Hall, his expression unpleasant and his gaze dark.
"Someone, summon Qian Jun Douluo!"
Qian Daoliu gave the order.
"Yes, Great Enshrined."
A subordinate hurried away.
Before long, an old man strode inside, wearing the robes of a Spirit Hall enshrined and golden pauldrons, his muscles bulging prominently.
"Elder brother, what are your orders?"
He bowed to Qian Daoliu.
"Qian Jun, I want you to kill someone for me!"
Without hesitation, Qian Daoliu spoke in a heavy voice.
"Who?"
"Heh heh, in all these years, this seems to be the first time you've felt such a strong urge to kill, elder brother!"
Qian Jun Douluo clenched his fists and spoke with a broad smile.
"An ordinary Soul Ancestor. He's a guard serving Pope Bibi Dong."
Qian Daoliu replied.
"A Soul Ancestor? And you want me to do it?"
Qian Jun Douluo was a little puzzled. Sending a Titled Douluo like him was like firing a cannon at a mosquito.
"I'm sending you because I need you to make absolutely certain he dies."
"Bibi Dong wants to keep him alive, but I want him dead!"
Qian Daoliu barked coldly.
"I see. Rest assured, elder brother. Leave this to me. I'll wipe that fellow out. Even if Bibi Dong intervenes in person, I won't show any mercy!"
Qian Jun Douluo patted his chest, brimming with confidence.
"Bibi Dong's forces are searching for him right now. Hurry and investigate. End this swiftly, without hesitation!"
"Go."
Qian Daoliu waved his hand.
"Yes, elder brother."
Qian Jun Douluo cupped his hands, immediately turned, and strode out of the Worship Hall, heading into Spirit City.
In the little room in Spirit City, Li Tianyuan had more or less mastered all his Soul Skills and could switch between them with ease.
Moreover, he could use his Soul Skills without even revealing his Martial Soul, the Heavenly Mystery Disc.
After he reached level 90, his Heavenly Mystery Disc Martial Soul could conceal itself automatically.
Looks like Bibi Dong won't be able to find me. Should I leave now, or wait a little longer?
Li Tianyuan pondered.
Suddenly, he sensed a powerful aura approaching.
[Ding! System mission triggered: successfully make a fool of a Titled Douluo to receive a system reward.]
The system's voice immediately rang out in Li Tianyuan's mind.
Make a fool of one?
Li Tianyuan was a little surprised, but he intended to give it a try.
Someone was already approaching outside the door, and his figure vanished into thin air.
The next second, the door was pushed open.
Xie Yue hurried inside.
He looked around and found Hu Liena lying motionless on the bed. He rushed over to check on her and only breathed a sigh of relief after finding nothing amiss with her clothes.
"Nana, wake up."
Xie Yue reached out and pinched Hu Liena's cheek.
A little while later, Hu Liena woke up. She opened her eyes and looked around, relaxing somewhat only after she saw Xie Yue.
"Nana, what happened? Why did someone knock you unconscious?"
Xie Yue asked.
"I don't know either. I was just standing in the room, and then, for some reason, I suddenly passed out."
"There must be something wrong with this room, right?"
Hu Liena eyed the room fearfully as she spoke.
"Something wrong?"
Xie Yue inspected the room but found nothing unusual at all.
"Brother, could there be something unclean in this room?"
Hu Liena asked cautiously.
"Something unclean? This is Spirit City. What would dare run wild here?"
Xie Yue thought it unlikely.
"You never know. I've heard there's a special kind of Soul Beast called a phantom. It comes without a shadow and leaves without a trace."
Hu Liena rubbed her neck, still a little frightened.
"Nonsense. Even if there were a phantom Soul Beast here, it would have to reveal itself and obediently submit before this Douluo!"
Suddenly, a soft, feminine voice drifted inside.
Immediately afterward, a figure in red stepped into the room. It was none other than Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.
"Greetings, Your Eminence Chrysanthemum Douluo!"
Upon seeing him, Hu Liena bowed.
"Dispense with the formalities."
Chrysanthemum Douluo raised a hand, a hint of sharpness appearing on his face, which was as tender and smooth as a baby's.
His piercing eyes swept the room, as though searching for some sign of movement.
If anything was amiss in this room, he would surely detect it.
At that moment, Li Tianyuan stood only a few steps from Chrysanthemum Douluo. He wanted to see whether this Titled Douluo could find him.
A few seconds later, Chrysanthemum Douluo withdrew his gaze. He had detected no unusual aura.
Looks like this Chrysanthemum Douluo hasn't noticed me!
Li Tianyuan felt rather pleased with himself.
His Soul Skill, Temporal Concealment, really could evade a Titled Douluo's scrutiny.
In that case, he could start making a fool of him.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was neither quite masculine nor feminine. Despite his advanced age, his voice was soft and feminine, like a woman's.
Li Tianyuan actually felt somewhat uncomfortable making a fool of someone like him.
But with a system reward to be earned, he did not want to waste the opportunity.
He immediately approached Chrysanthemum Douluo, stopping one step away.
Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed to sense something and turned to investigate.
Smack!
Li Tianyuan swung his hand, landing a vicious slap on Chrysanthemum Douluo's face.
The slap rang out with a sharp crack.
It left Chrysanthemum Douluo utterly stunned.
Li Tianyuan quit while he was ahead, immediately putting distance between himself and Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Chrysanthemum Douluo covered his cheek with a hand and looked around, but noticed no movement whatsoever.
Yet that resounding slap just now said it all.
Someone had slapped him across the face!
Beside him, Xie Yue and Hu Liena were dumbfounded as well, staring at Chrysanthemum Douluo in astonishment.
He was a Titled Douluo, yet he had somehow been slapped out of nowhere!
Who on earth had done this?
Who possessed such an ability?
"Your Eminence Chrysanthemum Douluo, are you all right?"
Xie Yue asked quietly.
"Who? Who on earth just struck me!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo flew into a rage. He unleashed his Douluo pressure, and an intensely cold, feminine aura erupted from him.
He had been thoroughly enraged!
As a dignified Titled Douluo, there was no way he could swallow this insult.
But there was no response from his surroundings.
Chrysanthemum Douluo grew even more furious. Soul Power surged through him as he extended a hand and released his Martial Soul, the singular velvet sky chrysanthemum.
It was an enormous purple chrysanthemum with fluffy, rather adorable petals. Golden light floated around its center, giving it a distinctly sinister appearance.
He intended to strike and destroy the entire room!
