The Two Hidden Dangers Besides Tang San! The Truth of What Happened Back Then

Before that, however, Jin Yu had to help these enshrined elders raise their strength another level.

A faint smile appeared on Qian Renxue's face. "Jin Yu, I absorbed the Holy Light Sunflower you gave me last night. Its effect was incredible. My Soul Power went straight from level 52 to the peak of level 54."

"I believe I'll break through to level 55 in two months at most!"

"For a Soul King to gain two or three levels from absorbing an Immortal Herb is already a pretty good result," Jin Yu said with a smile. He then promptly took out five Immortal Herbs. "Senior Enshrined Azure Luan, Lion, Guang Ling, Qian Jun, and Jiang Mo, I prepared these for you!"

"Perhaps they can help you break through your current realms and reach greater heights!"

Like Golden Crocodile Douluo, they had all been stuck at the peak of their current levels for a long time, unable to break through.

It was only natural that Golden Crocodile Douluo had difficulty breaking through to level 99, but it was still possible to help the others each break through a level.

"Hahaha! Good lad, then we won't stand on ceremony with you."

After hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo say that absorbing an Immortal Herb had given him signs of a breakthrough, they had long been itching for Jin Yu to give them theirs.

All five looked delighted. They took their respective Immortal Herbs and promptly absorbed them.

An hour later.

Powerful Soul Power fluctuations burst out from the five enshrined: Azure Luan, Lion, Guang Ling, Qian Jun, and Jiang Mo.

They broke through one after another!

"I broke through! Brother! I broke through to level 97!"

"Little brother! I broke through to level 97 too!"

"Hahaha!"

The twin brothers, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, embraced each other excitedly.

"Level 98! I've been stuck for years, and I've finally broken through to level 98! Hahahaha!" Mighty Lion Douluo was as happy as a child.

Azure Luan Douluo, who carried himself like a modest gentleman, gave a faint smile. "Hehe, I'm level 98 too."

Everyone turned to Guang Ling, a little worried. "Only Fifth Brother is left now. We've all broken through. If he doesn't, he won't be easy to console!"

"That's right! Fifth Brother is almost a hundred years old, but his temperament is still like a teenager's. If he doesn't break through, he might sulk for days!"

A moment later, Guang Ling also successfully broke through to level 97.

Guang Ling was as happy as a child desperate for praise and compliments from his older brothers. "Great Enshrined, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother! I broke through to level 97 too~~ Hahaha!"

Azure Luan Douluo, who was closest to Guang Ling, affectionately patted his head. "Congratulations, Fifth Brother."

"Well done, Fifth Brother!"

The enshrined elders gathered around Guang Ling, happy for him and offering their congratulations.

"Senior Guang Ling really is everyone's favorite..." The atmosphere gave Jin Yu an inexplicable feeling of warmth and happiness, and he could also deeply appreciate how strong the bonds between them were.

When they died before one another's eyes in the original story, it must have hurt terribly, right?

But in this life, Jin Yu wouldn't let them follow the same disastrous path again.

Now all five enshrined have broken through, and the ancestor can reach level 99 within two and a half years. Spirit Hall's overall strength has already increased greatly! Jin Yu nodded to himself.

[Ding! The host helped six enshrined elders break through their realms. Mission progress: 30%.]

Oh? It went up another 10% just like that!

Only 20 levels left!

I need to keep up the effort and claim the first reward at 50% progress as soon as possible! Jin Yu was full of drive.

"Jin Yu, from this day forward, you're our own grandson. No matter what happens, we'll protect you to the very end!"

Jin Yu smiled. "With those words from you seniors, I'm satisfied."

After the laughter died down, everyone finally turned to serious business.

Qian Daoliu's expression grew solemn. "Jin Yu, now that Xiao Xue has returned to cultivate, she can undertake the God of Angels' trials once she breaks through to the Soul Saint realm. Is there anything else we need to do or pay particular attention to before then?"

"As things stand, we still can't completely change Spirit Hall's fate of being destroyed. Besides the greatest threat, Tang San, there are two other hidden dangers!"

"Oh? Tell us quickly."

The seven enshrined all straightened up.

"First, the Upper Three Sects of the Seven Great Sects: the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the Clear Sky Sect."

"In the future, these three major powers will all side with the two empires and pose a considerable threat to Spirit Hall. Enshrined including Guang Ling and Azure Luan died at the hands of Clear Sky Sect experts."

"These three sects must be destroyed in the future!"

"The second hidden danger is the current Pope, Bibi Dong!"

At the mention of her name, Qian Renxue and the seven enshrined all changed expression. "Bibi Dong?"

"She... she also becomes an enemy of Spirit Hall in the future?" Qian Renxue found it hard to believe.

But Qian Daoliu seemed to have already guessed something. He said quietly, "Xiao Xue, go outside for now."

"Grandfather! Why are you sending me out? Do you know something?"

Qian Daoliu clearly didn't want Qian Renxue to know certain things about what had happened with Bibi Dong back then, but learning some truths ahead of time wasn't a bad thing.

Jin Yu said, "Great Enshrined, Qian Renxue is already twenty, not a child anymore. I think it's time she learned some truths too. Let her listen."

"Qian Renxue, have you always struggled to understand why your birth mother has been so cold to you since you were little, and even loathes you?"

"Why? Tell me, why!" Qian Renxue grew agitated.

There wasn't a child who didn't yearn for a mother's love.

Yet she had grown up without a mother's affection. Not only that, Bibi Dong had treated her coldly and ignored her, and had even told her to get lost many times with a look of disgust on her face.

It had deeply wounded Qian Renxue's young heart, but she had never been able to understand why Bibi Dong treated her, her own child, that way.

"Sigh." Qian Daoliu sighed softly. "Xiao Xue, then let Grandfather tell you himself."

"Back then, Bibi Dong was Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden and foremost genius, yet she fell in love with a good-for-nothing from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan whose Innate Soul Power was only half a level."

"After all the effort we poured into raising that genius, how could we possibly have been willing to let her marry that kind of trash, making a wedding dress for the Blue Lightning Clan for nothing?"

"Bibi Dong's talent was unparalleled, and she even had Twin Martial Souls. She could have become a level 99 expert in the future. If a genius like her joined the Blue Lightning Clan, not only would it have been an enormous loss to Spirit Hall, it would also have strengthened the Blue Lightning Clan and brought a threat to Spirit Hall!"

"So your father, Qian Xunji, did not approve of Bibi Dong being with that good-for-nothing."

"But she was willing to betray and leave Spirit Hall to elope with that good-for-nothing. In a fit of anger, your father forced Bibi Dong into a secret chamber, so she hates Qian Xunji and hates you too."

"What... Father forced Bibi Dong into a secret chamber?" Qian Renxue froze.

Picking up where Qian Daoliu left off, Jin Yu said, "That's right. Bibi Dong bore a grudge because of it and killed Qian Xunji when he was gravely injured by Tang Hao. But the hatred in her heart didn't fade because of that. Instead, it gave rise to even stronger resentment."
