"Tsk, tsk, tsk. This Xiao Wu really is ruthless!"
Watching this through the crack in the door, Chen Shi felt a chill run down his back. He certainly did not want Xiao Wu doing that to him.
Of the other two spectators, Ning Rongrong's face was filled with worry, and she also kept a wary eye on Qian Renxue nearby.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Poison Douluo both served the Heaven Dou Empire; they were bound to cross paths.
Especially since Poison Douluo was a lone individual, if she did nothing and the people from Spirit Hall spread word of this in the future, whether Poison Douluo would bear a grudge against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was something she had to consider.
The main problem was that Poison Douluo specialized in poison. If he retaliated against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the barefoot had nothing to fear from those wearing shoes. With its vast household and holdings, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could only passively take the blows.
Besides, although Dugu Yan had a grudge against their Shrek Academy, the people opposite them were from Spirit Hall. Especially with the last person's identity unknown, she did not want to push Dugu Yan over to the opposing side.
So for now, she only hoped Xiao Wu would vent some anger before she stepped in to stop the fight.
As for Qian Renxue, she utterly scorned the way the two were grappling. They were clearly both Soul Masters, yet now they were behaving like shrews. What a disgrace.
But she had no intention of breaking up the fight yet, either, because she still did not know who was in the fifth pillar of light.
Only once that person appeared would it become clear whether they were friend or foe.
And so, after Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan had grappled for several breaths, the final pillar of light also began to change.
Someone wore an ivory fitted combat outfit, exquisitely made, as though it had been tailored just for her.
On her upper body, the outfit covered only the essential areas, yet left two protruding curves, giving her a thoroughly alluring appearance.
On her lower body, the outfit extended only to the tops of her thighs, leaving two straight legs bare. Under the living room lights, their soft contours showed, brimming with allure.
Her skin was very fair and enticing, and together with her figure-hugging clothes, it gave her an intensely seductive air.
Although her hair was short, her long golden hair paired with her foxlike face made it impossible to stop staring. She was none other than Bibi Dong's disciple, Hu Liena.
Her appearance also interrupted the commotion in the living room.
When Ning Rongrong saw Hu Liena, her expression darkened as well, because she actually did not recognize this person.
And judging by her appearance, she was certainly no pushover, so Ning Rongrong decided not to let Xiao Wu continue fighting Dugu Yan and began to persuade her:
"Xiao Wu, stop fighting for now. Don't you want to get news about your Third Brother from her?"
At those words, Xiao Wu's movements suddenly paused, giving Dugu Yan an opening. She pushed with both hands and crawled out from under Xiao Wu.
She looked rather wretched now. Several scratches marked her face and neck, and her face was covered in patches of black and purple, clearly having received a greeting from Xiao Wu's fists.
As for her hair, it was completely disheveled, with strands left on the floor as well.
The pain coming from her body thoroughly enraged Dugu Yan.
She stared fixedly at Xiao Wu and also cast a glance at Ning Rongrong, but in the end, she spoke coldly to Xiao Wu:
"Fine, fine, fine. You've certainly been throwing your weight around while I can't use my soul power.
"Xiao Wu, was it? Shrek Academy, was it? Once I get back, I'll have my grandfather personally teach you all a proper lesson. As for that Third Brother you mentioned, heh, I'll personally give him a taste of suffering."
"You..."
At those words, Xiao Wu's anger surged as well. She wanted to strike again, but Ning Rongrong held her tightly.
After hearing Dugu Yan's words, Ning Rongrong also felt a chill down her back. She knew Dugu Yan already hated her.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the newly arrived Hu Liena had only just finished taking in her surroundings.
Although she was Bibi Dong's disciple, she currently only had five rings and had yet to venture out into the world.
So she did not know Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, or Dugu Yan.
But when she saw Qian Renxue, she was slightly startled, and her expression changed a little.
Since Qian Renxue was three or four years older than her, and had gone undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire before she was even ten, she did not recognize Qian Renxue.
But from Qian Renxue's clothing, she understood that this person was also from Spirit Hall, and her status might even be higher than her own.
Although she did not recognize Qian Renxue, Qian Renxue was very familiar with her.
Although Qian Renxue had remained in the Heaven Dou Empire all this time, she still had quite a few Soul Masters under her command, so she knew about everything that happened within Spirit Hall.
She had long known that her mother had taken a disciple and was carefully nurturing her, and that the disciple was quite talented.
Just then, Hu Liena spoke first:
"May I ask who you are?"
"You are not yet worthy of knowing my identity. Just follow my orders from now on!"
Qian Renxue spoke indifferently, her face full of arrogance.
Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Hu Liena immediately felt anger rise within her. But the woman before her was probably a member of the Angel Clan. Even as Pope Bibi Dong's disciple, it seemed she could not afford to provoke her.
After all, Bibi Dong's control over Spirit Hall was currently limited. She only barely controlled the Papal Palace, and only some of the elders in the Elder Hall could more or less be counted on to obey her. The Worship Hall, however, did not give Bibi Dong the time of day. Hu Liena knew about such things.
The Angel Clan was the symbol of Spirit Hall. She had never seen a living member of the Angel Clan, so when it was time to bow her head, she still had to bow.
Meanwhile, on the Douluo Continent.
An enormous Light Screen suddenly appeared in the sky, spanning the heavens.
This change drew the attention of everyone on the Douluo Continent.
At Spirit Hall, inside the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong looked up into the sky, a trace of gravity appearing on her face.
She knew nothing about this screen that had appeared overhead.
She wondered just what kind of divine power could create such a phenomenon between heaven and earth.
Just then, two figures rapidly approached her from nearby.
She focused her gaze and saw that the arrivals were Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, both with a trace of anxiety on their faces.
What happened? What could make two Titled Douluos wear such expressions? Could it be this Light Screen?
Before she could speak, Chrysanthemum Douluo transmitted his voice from far away:
"Your Holiness, Xie Yue just said that his younger sister Hu Liena suddenly disappeared while cultivating!"
"What?"
Bibi Dong's expression finally changed. Hu Liena was the successor she had been nurturing. How could she have suddenly disappeared?
"Quickly, explain exactly what happened. If there's anything you don't know, you can bring Xie Yue here first!"
"Yes, Your Holiness. This is what happened."
After Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo reached Bibi Dong's side, they recounted everything in full detail.
In fact, Hu Liena had not vanished into thin air. Rather, while her older brother watched, a pillar of light had enveloped her, and then she had disappeared.
As for where she had gone, who knew?
After hearing the two of them out, Bibi Dong looked up at the screen in the sky, a bad feeling rising in her heart.
Could the appearance of this Light Screen have something to do with my disciple?
