Upon hearing Qian Xunji's words, Yu Yuanzhen's mouth twitched slightly.
Bring Xiao Gang and that Bibi Dong over.
Then give you an excuse to keep causing trouble for our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
Was Yu Yuanzhen really that stupid?
He knew perfectly well that his younger son, Yu Xiaogang, had run off with the Spirit Hall Saintess Bibi Dong—a genius with Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Top Spirits, whom Spirit Hall had painstakingly nurtured.
Something like this was bound to provoke hatred.
Any member of Spirit Hall who knew about it probably wanted nothing more than to skin his son Xiao Gang alive!
If he brought his younger son Xiao Gang and Bibi Dong here, to the wedding of Spirit Hall Pope Qian Xunji—
That would be a blatant slap in Spirit Hall's face!
Their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had just paid an enormous price.
They had only just managed to reach a superficial reconciliation with Spirit Hall.
If they caused another incident like this—
Wouldn't all their previous efforts have been wasted?
He, Yu Yuanzhen, was at least the dignified leader of one of the Three Upper Sects. Surely he was not foolish enough to that extent?!
"Hehe, the journey from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to Spirit City is a long one."
"It was inconvenient for the two of them to come."
"Your Holiness the Pope, many guests are still waiting to enter. My son and I shall take our seats first."
Yu Yuanzhen gave a dry laugh. Under Qian Xunji's gaze, his eyes darted away uneasily.
After casually making up an excuse—
He cupped his fists toward Qian Xunji.
Then, together with Yu Dalong, he quickly headed toward the seating area prepared for the wedding guests.
They sat down in the first row.
At this, Qian Xunji narrowed his eyes slightly. His right hand lightly toyed with and rubbed the wine cup in his hand, while the corner of his lips curled upward.
He didn't even dare look at me when Bibi Dong was mentioned?
It seems things have most likely developed just as I expected.
Once the wedding is over, it'll be time to begin the next stage of the plan.
When he had first transmigrated and discovered that Bibi Dong was planning to elope with Yu Xiaogang—
Qian Xunji had originally intended to execute Bibi Dong outright.
Although the arrival of the Subversion System had changed his thinking—
He chose to cripple Bibi Dong's cultivation, strip away her Soul Bones, and seal her memories.
To "fulfill" this White-Eyed Wolf and that useless Master, Yu Xiao Gang.
But aside from Qian Xunji believing that "fulfilling" Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang would cause a greater disruption to the plot and earn him better rewards—
There was another reason: he had suddenly thought of Spirit Hall's future development.
As a transmigrator who had read the later Douluo series—
Qian Xunji knew just how miserable the commoners of Tang Family Continent had become after Spirit Hall was gone!
Evil Spirit Masters ran rampant!
Spirit Awakening required payment!
The Soul Master Subsidy was abolished!
Not to mention that he had transmigrated into Spirit Hall Pope Qian Xunji.
Even if he had not, Qian Xunji would still have chosen to stand with Spirit Hall and support its unification of the continent.
Because, as a transmigrator, the education he had received in his previous life made it impossible for him to stand with the aristocrats, wantonly exploiting commoners alongside them and greedily devouring the commoners' "flesh and blood."
But since he had transmigrated into Qian Xunji—
As a father, Qian Xunji could not do what Bibi Dong had done.
Sending his daughter, Chihiro Yuki, to the Heaven Dou Empire at such a young age, replacing the Heaven Dou Empire's crown prince, Xue Qinghe.
All so that, after Chihiro Yuki replaced Xue Qinghe and ascended the throne as emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire in the future—
She could join forces with the Heaven Dou Empire to carry out the plan of unifying the continent!
Therefore, what Qian Xunji wanted was to rely on Spirit Hall's own strength to accomplish the plan of unifying the continent.
But given the continent's current situation—
If Spirit Hall tried to expand its influence, it would certainly draw a joint response from the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
And if he wanted the two great empires to have no choice but to allow Spirit Hall to expand its influence—
Even to support it while holding their noses—
The knowledge from his previous life immediately made Qian Xunji think of a method.
That was—raising bandits to strengthen oneself!
And what bandits should he raise?
Naturally, Evil Spirit Masters!
And speaking of Evil Spirit Masters—
The Bibi Dong before him possessed the top-tier Twin Martial Souls, the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor.
Wasn't she a natural-born king of Evil Spirit Masters?
Thus, Qian Xunji, who had originally only planned to cripple Bibi Dong's cultivation, strip away her Soul Bones, and seal her memories, immediately chose to go a step further!
He directly used the God-level Sealing Technique to seal all of Bibi Dong's bodily flaws as well!
Because, according to Qian Xunji's deductions—
If he merely crippled Bibi Dong's cultivation, stripped away her Soul Bones, sealed her memories, and "fulfilled" her and Yu Xiao Gang—
Then let Yu Xiao Gang take her back.
Although Yu Yuanzhen, the leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, would certainly not dare keep Bibi Dong, fearing he would offend Spirit Hall, and would send her back—
That would certainly let Bibi Dong see Yu Xiao Gang's true, hypocritical, cowardly nature.
But in that case, Bibi Dong would not suffer enough torment.
In the end, if he refused to take her back—
He might only be able to demand a considerable amount of compensation from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
But that way, Bibi Dong could still bear Yu Xiao Gang several gifted children.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would not be at a loss either!
It would be better to seal Bibi Dong's bodily flaws as well.
That way—
Once they discovered that Yu Xiao Gang could not make Bibi Dong bear children—
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan might do something even more excessive than the original Qian Xunji in order to make up for their losses!
That would directly shatter Bibi Dong's rose-tinted view of Yu Xiao Gang, causing her to completely turn dark, hate the entire world, and want to destroy it as well.
At that time, all he needed to do was ensure that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had no choice but to release Bibi Dong.
After Bibi Dong left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—
He could find a way to send her to Slaughter City.
Although Bibi Dong had already been crippled by him—
With Bibi Dong's talent, coupled with the resentment filling her that hated the heavens, the earth, and even the air, she would surely still attract the Rakshasa God's attention.
Perhaps the Rakshasa God would act and restore Bibi Dong.
Afterward, the darkened Bibi Dong would inevitably become an Evil Spirit Master.
And establish an Evil Spirit Master organization, attempting to take revenge on the entire world and destroy it.
Wouldn't that give Spirit Hall ample room to openly expand its strength?
(Darkened Bibi Dong)
Of course, Qian Xunji also knew—
Not all of his deductions would necessarily come true.
Nor would everything necessarily proceed according to his script.
But there was no loss involved anyway.
If casually making such a move—
Could make this White-Eyed Wolf Bibi Dong suffer painful torment and regret—
While possibly bringing Spirit Hall considerable benefits in the future—
Then why not do it?
After probing Yu Yuanzhen—
Qian Xunji, dressed in a bright red groom's robe, with Sword-like Eyebrows and Starry Eyes and a handsome face, smiled as he slowly turned and returned to his seat.
He waited for all the guests to enter.
Meanwhile, in the first row of the guest area—
Tang Hao watched Qian Xunji and could not help clenching his fists, defiance flashing through his eyes.
This Spirit Hall Pope Qian Xunji looked like nothing more than a pampered young noble.
Grandfather had defeated that Angel Douluo Chihiro Doriu back then.
I can defeat Qian Xunji too, just like Grandfather did!
They say Qian Xunji broke through to become a Titled Douluo at forty-six.
I must break through before then!
Although Grandfather had ordered our Clear Sky Sect never to contend with Spirit Hall again after he left—
I, Tang Hao, will surely make Spirit Hall great again!
After all the guests had entered and taken their seats—
The Red-Clad Archbishop responsible for presiding over the wedding immediately announced in a loud voice.
"The auspicious hour has arrived. The wedding shall begin!"
"Please rise, newlyweds!"
Qian Xunji and Ling Yuan immediately stood and walked to the center of the great hall, facing Chihiro Doriu, who was seated in the place of honor.
"First bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Second bow to the elders!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
After first bowing to Heaven and Earth and the Angel God Statue, then bowing to Chihiro Doriu—
Once the husband and wife had bowed to each other—
Qian Xunji smiled and took an exquisite, beautiful Wedding Ring from the Holy Spirit Ring.
Together with the elegantly dressed and beautiful Ling Yuan, whose lovely face was flushed red with shyness, they placed Wedding Rings on each other's fingers.
Yet as they exchanged Wedding Rings, Qian Xunji felt somewhat strange inside.
Because he felt that weddings on Douluo Continent were neither quite Chinese nor quite Western.
After they had exchanged Wedding Rings—
The wedding feast finally began!
