The Blood Spear is really crazy right now; it's okay if we don't use it, we can barely control it.
But once it's taken out and his Soul Power is activated, this thing will tear at his body like a starving ghost.
Chapter 127 is mine now.
"I've finished my business, and I'm leaving now. What about you?" Xuan Ming looked at Ah Rou.
"It's been many years since I've been back. I plan to take Xiao Wu back to see Da Ming and Er Ming," Ah Rou said.
"Then I'll be going now. See you in Suotuo City." Xuan Ming turned to leave, but after only a few steps, he turned back.
"Can you find Xiao Wu? Or should I take you back?"
Ah Rou paused for a moment, "We can find it, no need to bother."
"Then goodbye." Xuan Ming activated his Soul Power, took flight, and quickly disappeared into the forest.
Ah Rou watched Xuan Ming's departing figure, her feelings a mix of emotions.
If only this guy had been more ruthless, so she could hate him with a clear conscience...
"Hmm?" Ah Rou turned around, about to meet Xiao Wu, when Xuan Ming, who had left, suddenly flew back.
"What's wrong?"
Xuan Ming hesitated for a moment, "Why don't you... lead the way for me?"
Ah Rou was slightly taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh, "You still can't find your way around?"
Xuan Ming's expression froze. "I'm not a local."
Without navigation or a map, he truly couldn't understand how those Soul Master managed to find their way after entering the Star Dou Great Forest.
Moreover, this awful forest is so vast that he has no idea where he is.
After sending Xuan Ming out of the Star Dou Great Forest, Ah Rou went back to find Xiao Wu.
The Shrek members are probably looking for Tang San's Third Soul Ring right now, which will take at least several more days.
"Where do you plan to go next?" the Ice Dragon King asked.
"We can't just sit here and wait for the Imperial Fighting Team, can we?"
"At their pace, it will take them at least several more months to get here. I can't wait that long," Xuan Ming said.
The Imperial Fighting Team started from Heaven Dou City, traveling to the Great Soul Arena in various cities of the Heaven Dou Empire to take on challenges. They would stay in each place for a period of time. Suotuo City was on the border, and according to the plan Qin Ming gave them when they set off, it was their last stop.
"So you plan to return to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?" the Ice Dragon King asked.
Xuan Ming looked eastward. "I plan to go to Spirit City."
" Spirit City? You plan to give this to that female Pope right now?" the Ice Dragon King said.
" The Soul Bone is just a side effect; besides... I also need to consider the current situation," Xuan Ming said.
" Qian Renxue's patience with me is almost exhausted. I need to get Bibi Dong to help me pull her back."
According to the Ice Dragon King's prediction, the special environment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would have little effect on his cultivation after he reached level 70.
Moreover, once he reaches level 70, Qian Renxue will definitely not tolerate him anymore.
Leaving is inevitable, but not now.
To prevent Qian Renxue from losing patience with him too quickly, or from taking action against him prematurely, it's still necessary to use Bibi Dong to keep him in check, just for safety's sake.
Spirit City.
After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Xuan Ming found a carriage and headed this way.
Eight years have passed since I followed Qian Renxue to Heaven Dou City.
Over the years, Bibi Dong would send Yue Guan to the Martial Soul Holy Temple in Heaven Dou City under the guise of official business almost every year to check on him. Occasionally, she would also bring Hu Liena along to inquire about his situation.
Bibi Dong met him in person three years ago at the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament held in Heaven Dou City.
After all, Qian Renxue's possessiveness towards him was too strong, Bibi Dong would not risk conflict with Qian Daoliu by competing with Qian Renxue for this matter.
As far as Bibi Dong was concerned, as long as he didn't get involved with Qian Renxue, that was fine. If there were any conflicts between them, that would be even more perfect.
Given his less-than-harmonious relationship with Qian Renxue over the years, Bibi Dong was quite satisfied with him.
Of course, if he really gets too attached to Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong might find a chance to get rid of him at any time.
You can't get too close to anyone, nor can you stay too far away...
Upon entering Spirit City, Xuan Ming concealed himself beneath a black robe and headed straight for the Pope's Palace.
On the surface, he is ultimately someone who stands by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's side. His sudden arrival in Spirit City without a word is bound to arouse suspicion, so it's better to keep a low profile.
Moreover, he wasn't actually bad at directions; he could remember any route he had taken just once. But in a godforsaken place like the Star Dou Great Forest, there were no signs at all, and he didn't have much experience with forests. In the past, when he was in the Sunset Forest, he either had Dugu Bo to lead the way or relied on the Ice Dragon King's senses of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to directly locate and navigate.
"Halt! This is forbidden territory! Take another step closer and you will be killed without mercy!"
Upon seeing Xuan Ming, who was clad in black robes and whose face was obscured, the hundred palace guards in front of the hall raised their longswords and watched him warily.
Xuan Ming stopped in his tracks, took out the Pope Token, and casually tossed it to the guard at the front.
The guard was slightly taken aback, but after seeing the pattern clearly, his expression changed drastically, and he knelt on one knee, "Greetings, Elder!"
Upon hearing this, the hundred Temple Knights performed the same action in unison.
"I want to see the Pope."
Half an hour later, Xuan Ming sat in a side hall of the Pope's Palace, eating while waiting for Bibi Dong to arrive.
The door slowly opened, and a gentle voice sounded from outside, "No one is allowed to approach without my order."
"Yes."
Xuan Ming turned to look at Bibi Dong, who was dressed in a black robe with gold patterns, and raised the dried meat from the Moonlight Pavilion in his hand. "Do you want some?"
Bibi Dong walked over and sat opposite Xuan Ming. She naturally took the whole box of jerky from Xuan Ming's hand, picked up a piece and ate it. "What happened? You came over without saying a word."
"Did you argue with Qian Renxue again?"
"No, I just came to see you." Xuan Ming reached for the jerky, but Bibi Dong slapped his hand away.
"Huh?" Xuan Ming was a little confused.
"This is mine."
"Now it's mine," Bibi Dong said calmly.
"Childish." Xuan Ming took out another box.
Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow. "How much do you have left?"
"Two boxes," Xuan Ming said.
Back in Heaven Dou City, Tang Yuehua worried that he would eat too many snacks and not eat proper meals, so she didn't give him much.
But this time he said he would be leaving Heaven Dou City for a long time and would be going to the Star Dou Great Forest, so Tang Yuehua gave him all the supplies from the Moonlight Pavilion to take with him.
Dried meat, preserved fruit, and all sorts of dry rations, just in case he went hungry.
"Give me a box," Bibi Dong said.
"You, a Pope, have the audacity to steal food from me?" Xuan Ming said speechlessly.
"You've come all this way, didn't you even bring a gift?" Bibi Dong said.
"A gift? Yes, I have one." Xuan Ming took out the Eight Spider Lances and placed them on the table.
Bibi Dong's eyes changed slightly. " External Soul Bone? Where did you get that?"
"I got it from the Man Faced Demon Spider in the Star Dou Great Forest," Xuan Ming said.
"I already have something on my back, so I don't need this. But since you're a big spider too, I thought I'd give it to you as a gift."
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes at Xuan Ming, having given up hope on his words.
Picking up the External Soul Bone on the table, Bibi Dong released her Divine Power to sense its condition. "Two thousand years... What a pity, I already have..."
" External Soul Bone with similar attributes can be absorbed and fused, right?" Xuan Ming asked.
Bibi Dong's External Soul Bone, the Six-Winged Purple Light Wings, was produced by the Purple-Winged Spider Emperor lived for 60,000 years. It mainly gave her the ability to fly and made up for her lack of aerial mobility, but its enhancement in combat was far less than that of the Eight Spider Lances.
Chapter 128 Nine-Tailed Fox Heart Lotus
"Fusion is worth a try, but it's highly likely that it will lower the quality of my Six-Winged Purple Light Wings." Bibi Dong frowned slightly.
"Furthermore, if there's an attribute conflict with the Soul Bone, my Six-Winged Purple Light Wings will be useless."
External Soul Bone are different from other Soul Bone. If they are produced by the same type of Soul Beast, they can be External Soul Bone through absorption. However, this fusion is very demanding. If you are lucky, you can combine the best of both worlds. If you are unlucky, there will be attribute conflicts, and then both Soul Bone will be ruined.
"You should be very clear about the abilities of the Man Faced Demon Spider. The External Soul Bone it produces..." Xuan Ming paused.
"I suggest you give it a try; you might be pleasantly surprised."
Bibi Dong thought for a moment, "Let me consider it. This would be a good choice for Nana too."
"She's a fox, do you want her to grow spider legs on her back?" Xuan Ming's eyes were somewhat strange.
"What kind of quirk is that...?"
Bibi Dong's face darkened. "How did you learn to speak at the Moonlight Pavilion? Is this how Tang Yuehua taught you to speak?"
"No, she taught very well, but you know what kind of person I am," Xuan Ming said.
"Straightforward and outspoken?" Bibi Dong said speechlessly.
"I have no manners," Xuan Ming said.
"..." Bibi Dong.
You're unbeatable!
Years later, Bibi Dong recalled the feeling of having a heart attack from being angered by Xuan Ming.
To prevent herself from kicking the guy out, Bibi Dong picked up the Soul Bone, got up, and walked away.
"Where are you going?" Xuan Ming asked.
"Let's try fusing with this Soul Bone." Bibi Dong without turning her head.
"And what about me?" Xuan Ming asked.
"I came all this way to see you, and even brought you Soul Bone, and you just left me here all alone?"
"Wait, I'll have someone send a message to Nana; she's coming to entertain you," Bibi Dong said.
"Don't wander off. Your identity is special; if word gets out, Qian Renxue won't let you off the hook."
Xuan Ming's appearance, there's simply no way he could mistake her for someone else.
However, the people around Crown Xue Qinghe appeared in Spirit City without a sound and even entered the Pope's Palace.
Once this gets out, Xuan Ming's standing in the eyes of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family will be uncertain.
Xue Qinghe's position might be shaken as a result.
If this kind of trouble really happens, Qian Renxue will probably have to chop Xuan Ming up with the Holy Sword!
Xuan Ming?
Not long after Bibi Dong left, the side hall door opened again, and Hu Liena, now a young woman, walked in with light steps. She had a graceful figure, a beautiful face, and a charming and lively look in her eyes.
Why are you back? Did something happen?
"We'll bring the Pope some gifts when we get back," Xuan Ming said.
"A gift?" Hu Liena's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of anticipation rising in her heart. "Do I have one?"
