Douluo Continent, Spirit City.
Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong sat on a high chair.
Below, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo knelt on one knee and respectfully bowed to Bibi Dong.
"Still haven't found them?"
Bibi Dong's voice was hoarse, tinged with anger. Her gaze fell on Yue Guan and Gui Mei as she spoke:
"After more than two months, you can't even find a little girl?"
"We have already dispatched all our personnel under the Pope's name."
In the Star Luo Empire, both the Imperial Family and the military have made their statements, and the Zhu Family has severed ties with Zhu Zhuqing.
We received news of Zhu Zhuqing twice during the journey, but...
A hint of hesitation flashed across Yue Guan's face.
"But what?"
Bibi Dong frowned slightly, her voice growing increasingly cold.
" Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing enjoyed the resources of my Spirit Hall, but now they have betrayed the Spirit Hall."
Regardless of their lives, they must be brought to justice.
"This matter is left to you two to decide. Who else dares to oppose my Spirit Hall?"
Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Yue Guan hesitated for a moment, then turned his head slightly to look at the Gui Mei had been hiding in the shadows and had not spoken.
"This..."
Gui Mei, somewhat hoarse voice sounded, hesitated for a moment, and then continued:
"Your His Holiness the Pope, we had already discovered Zhu Zhuqing's whereabouts at the beginning, when she was retreating towards the Heaven Dou Empire."
However, we were stopped halfway there by... by Princess Xue.
Hearing the Gui Mei words, Bibi Dong's face grew even colder. She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and then Cai Jixu and the other man spoke:
"That's enough."
"But remember this from now on: you are members of the Elder Hall. Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing have now betrayed the Spirit Hall. No matter what, no matter how much effort it takes, you must bring them to justice."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bibi Dong flicked a token from her bosom and placed it in front of Yue Guan.
"With the Pope Token in hand, you are here to handle this case exclusively, and no one, regardless of who they are, may disobey it."
"Yes!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, both sensing the shock in each other's eyes.
They hadn't expected Bibi Dong to value Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing's matter so much.
However, neither of them knew that Xiao Yan had opened the door to another world in front of Bibi Dong.
This is why Bibi Dong was so eager to capture Xiao Yan.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, behind the mountain.
" Rongrong, thanks to you."
Zhu Zhuqing's face was pale as she thanked Ning Rongrong was standing beside her, looking youthful and beautiful.
" Zhu Zhuqing, why are you thanking me?"
Ning Rongrong shook her head, and the Martial Soul that was shimmering with light in her hand returned to her body.
He walked excitedly to Zhu Zhuqing Zhu Zhuqing, tilted his head, and spoke to her.
" The Spirit Hall wouldn't dare cause trouble here, but now they've issued warrants for your arrest and Xiao Yan's arrest. What's going on?"
I'm not sure either.
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, silently apologizing to Ning Rongrong.
It concerned Xiao Yan's biggest secret, and even though Ning Rongrong saved her, she dared not reveal a single detail.
"All right."
Ning Rongrong naturally realized that Zhu Zhuqing was hiding something, but she did not press the matter further.
Instead, he spoke to Zhu Zhuqing.
"This is the territory of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. People from the Spirit Hall cannot come here."
For now, just stay here and focus on recovering.
Thank you.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded. In order to escape the capture of the Spirit Hall, she had already used the power of the Dark Hall.
But I still got injured by Xiao Xin.
If she hadn't happened to enter the territory of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, her injuries would probably have been even more severe this time.
Dou Qi Continent, Jia Nan Academy.
Inside the Inner Academy, a group of elders and mentors sat together, their faces full of worry.
"Now that Han Feng has established the Black Alliance Black Alliance, it's clear he intends to be an enemy of the Jia Nan Academy. In my opinion, we should take the initiative and nip it in the bud."
An old man with crimson hair and beard, exuding an aura of power, spoke harshly.
On the other side, Elder Mu, who had just covered the disciples' return to the Jia Nan Academy, shook his head and said:
" Old Man Huo, don't be impulsive."
The Inner Academy has only recently been rebuilt; how could it withstand such a major battle?
Moreover, the Black Alliance has now absorbed the Eight Gates, Blood Sect, and other powerful factions into its ranks.
Even the Gold and Silver Elders, are within the Black Alliance.
The Grand Elder is currently in seclusion due to the previous sealing incident; it would be unwise to start a war with him now.
"Are we just going to back down like this?"
As his name suggests, Old Man Huo had a very fiery temper.
Upon hearing this, the assassin immediately burst into a tirade of curses:
" The Inner Academy Disciples Enforcement Team has always been sent out to the Black-Corner Region to punish evil and promote good, both to promote the reputation of the Jia Nan Academy and as a way to train the disciples."
But what about now?
"We've been forced into hiding in the Inner Academy by a Black Alliance. If word gets out, people will laugh at the Jia Nan Academy."
Hearing Elder Huo's words, many instructors showed a hint of anger on their faces.
Even Elder Mu did not utter a word of rebuttal.
"How about this?"
Just then, another highly respected elder spoke up, addressing the people in the crowd:
"The Grand Elder is currently in seclusion. If we force a war, we will only suffer greater losses."
However, if this is left unchecked, the Black Alliance may become even more emboldened.
In my opinion, the qualifications of ordinary members of the law enforcement team to perform their duties should be temporarily suspended.
Alternatively, the Inner Academy elders could lead students of the rank of Da Dou Shi or higher to go out in small teams.
This will both weaken the Black Alliance's peripheral forces and demonstrate the power of my Inner Academy.
What are your opinions?
"Excellent, I agree."
I agree.
"Okay, let's do it that way."
After a brief discussion, Jia Nan Academy temporarily decided on a response to the Black Alliance.
" Elder Tang, I'm troubling you with this matter."
Inside Maple City, Han Feng looked at Xiao Yan with a smile and said:
"Now that the Black Alliance is newly established, it is short of manpower everywhere."
Jia Nan Academy is now operating in smaller, scattered units, constantly attacking our forces on the front lines.
Many people have already reported this.
We also hope that Brother Tang can personally go to the front lines to oversee the situation.
As Xiao Yan listened to the task Han Feng had just assigned him, his mind raced with thought.
Jia Nan Academy has changed its approach. Although it hasn't caused significant losses to the Black Alliance, it has calmed down some previously restless forces.
This is different from Han Feng's purpose in establishing the Black Alliance.
Furthermore, it's becoming increasingly clear that Xiao Yan and Fan Lao are getting closer and closer.
Han Feng wanted to bring Xiao Yan under his command, so he naturally wouldn't let the Blood Sect benefit from it.
That's why I came up with this plan to directly transfer Xiao Yan to a distant place.
"Rest assured, Alliance Leader, I will not fail in my mission."
Xiao Yan had no reason to refuse.
He found it rather inconvenient to stay within the Blood Sect's territory.
Using the mission as an excuse to escape Fan Lao's sight is a good option now.
