15: Chapter 15 The Spirit Hall's Sneak Attack

“Here’s what happened.”

“In the second year after you left, for some unknown reason, Spirit Hall suddenly sent people to the mixed zone of the Great Forest. Every few days, more people would come.”

Bai Qi interrupted when he heard this.

“Suddenly?”

Ah Yin said.

“Yes, suddenly. Before that, there was no information at all. It was just that period, as if someone had leaked information.”

Bai Qi replied after listening.

“You still don’t know who it was?”

Listening to Bai Qi’s question, before Ah Yin could shake her head, Bibi Dong interjected.

“It was the Clear Sky Sect, or rather, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao who sent the message.”

Hearing Bibi Dong’s answer, Ah Yin asked, seemingly agitated.

“What? Tang Hao and Tang Xiao?”

Bibi Dong continued.

“Yes, at that time, Spirit Hall received a secret letter from the Clear Sky Sect, saying that there was a 100,000-year Spirit Beast that had taken human form in the Star Dou Great Forest. Of course, no one believed it, only Qian Xunji did. As for why it’s said to be Tang Hao and Tang Xiao…”

“Because before that, Qian Xunji had led people to encircle and suppress a 100,000-year Spirit Beast that had taken human form and was with Tang Hao. But at that time, Tang Hao was exactly rank 89. That Spirit Beast sacrificed itself to Tang Hao, allowing Tang Hao to successfully break through to rank 90, reaching the realm of a Titled Douluo, and injuring Qian Xunji. That battle also made Tang Hao famous.”

“And after that, Spirit Hall put pressure on the Clear Sky Sect, and the Clear Sky Sect expelled Tang Hao.”

“So when Qian Xunji found out, he deduced that this letter came from Tang Hao and Tang Xiao. Qian Xunji was also afraid it was a trap, so he kept sending people to scout. After learning that four people lived in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, he became even more convinced.”

Ah Yin interrupted Bibi Dong, though completely despairing of Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, she still questioned the follow-up.

“Then why didn’t they come directly when they knew, but waited until we were on guard?”

Bibi Dong replied.

“Because they also feared the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, which is why they weren’t in a hurry after knowing.”

Ah Rou asked.

“So that’s why they waited until the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were both gone to try and ambush us, right?”

“Yes.”

Bibi Dong paused, glanced at Zi Ji and Bi Ji, then said.

“I just didn’t expect there would be Spirit Beasts that exist in human form, and are even stronger than the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.”

Zi Ji and Bi Ji merely smiled upon hearing this.

Bai Qi continued.

“Listening to you, how is it that you’re from Spirit Hall, and yet you’re here now?”

Hearing Bai Qi’s words, Bi Ji said.

“Because the Master acted.”

Bai Qi asked in confusion.

“What do you mean?”

Hearing Bai Qi’s question, Ah Rou said.

“Let me tell the rest. You’ll understand once I’m done.”

Ah Rou thought for a moment and said.

“After the Blue Silver Grass transmitted more and more information to Ah Yin, I told Da Ming and Er Ming about it. Er Ming even wanted to kill them all directly, but I persuaded him not to.”

“After our discussion, we decided to let them monitor Da Ming and Er Ming’s information every day. When Ah Yin felt there were enough people based on the information transmitted by the Blue Silver Grass, we had Da Ming and Er Ming suddenly disappear in the morning. Er Ming truly left, while we had Da Ming hide at the bottom of the lake.”

“They indeed became anxious. After they couldn’t detect any information about Da Ming and Er Ming, that Qian Xunji indeed brought people. Besides Bibi Dong, there were also two Titled Douluo.”

“But what they didn’t expect was that we only let Er Ming leave; Da Ming was hidden in this lake. When their surprise attack came, the house was also destroyed at that time. Ah Yin, Bi Ji, Da Ming, and I held back all the Spirit Masters except Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji. Zi Ji dealt with those two. After we had lured everyone away, Bibi Dong suddenly ambushed Qian Xunji during his standoff with Zi Ji, killing and absorbing him.”

Ah Rou stopped there, and Bai Qi asked in confusion.

“And then?”

Zi Ji said.

“Bibi Dong lost control after absorbing Qian Xunji, and then the Master suddenly appeared, tapped her head, and then left. Bibi Dong also fell unconscious from the sky.”

“After Qian Xunji died, those two Titled Douluo desperately came to rescue the unconscious Bibi Dong.”

“Later, when she voluntarily came back to find the Master, we learned that she was the inheritor of the Rakshasa God Position. However, during her loss of control, the Master used the energy of the gold of life to remove the Rakshasa God’s divine sense.”

Xiao Wu asked in confusion.

“Rakshasa God? Is it the same as Xiao Qi’s inheritance?”

Bibi Dong said.

“It wasn’t before, but it is now.”

Bai Qi looked at Bibi Dong and said.

“What do you mean ‘it wasn’t before, but it is now’?”

Bibi Dong said.

“Gu Yuena, while I was losing control and the Rakshasa God’s divine sense was fighting for control of my body, removed the Rakshasa God’s divine sense. That is, she erased the source of the Rakshasa God Position inheritance, turning this inheritance into an empty God Position.”

Bai Qi asked in confusion.

“An empty God Position?”

Bibi Dong said.

“Yes, an empty God Position, an empty God Position belonging to the Douluo Continent. It means it’s very easy to become a god. At rank 99, you gather the power of human faith and break through to rank 100 to become a god.”

She then added.

“You also have an empty God Position, just like me, but you should be gathering the power of Spirit Beast faith at rank 99.”

At this moment, Gu Yuena suddenly appeared and interrupted.

“Achieving the Dragon God through the power of Spirit Beast faith can break the Dragon God’s shackles on Spirit Beasts, allowing Spirit Beasts to also become gods.”

Seeing Gu Yuena appear, Zi Ji and Bi Ji quickly stood up and called out.

“Master.”

Gu Yuena waved her hand, then said to Bai Qi.

“Bai Qi, I need you to go to the Far North and inform the Ice Sky Snow Lady there that you are the inheritor of the Dragon God, to see if we can win over the power of faith from the Far North in the future.”

Bai Qi thought for a moment after hearing this, then replied.

“Okay, I’ll go.”

“Mm.”

After saying that, she disappeared, clearly not wanting to stay with Bai Qi for long right now.

After Gu Yuena disappeared, Zi Ji and Bi Ji visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Xiao Wu asked.

“What about the Sea Spirit Beasts?”

Upon hearing this, Bi Ji and Zi Ji immediately frowned.

Bi Ji said.

“Most of the Sea Spirit Beasts’ power of faith has been given to the Sea God, so they are never within the Master’s consideration. The Far North worships the Ice God, but the Ice God has no inheritance. If they knew it was possible to become a god, if the Ice Sky Snow Lady had the power of faith, she might become the next Ice God.”

Xiao Wu said.

“Oh, I see.”

Time came to evening, and Bibi Dong also left. After all, Qian Xunji was dead, and Bibi Dong was to inherit the position of Supreme Pontiff. There were many things to do, and she couldn't stay here indefinitely.

While everyone was eating, Bai Qi said.

“I’ve decided, I’ll take Zi Ji and Bi Ji to the Far North.”

Xiao Wu, who was beside Bai Qi, immediately became anxious and said.

“Why aren’t you taking me?”

Bai Qi rubbed Xiao Wu’s head and said to her.

“Because we’re not sure about the attitude of the Far North right now, taking you might be dangerous. Zi Ji and Bi Ji definitely know the Ice Sky Snow Lady, so taking them is the safest option.”

Bi Ji and Zi Ji also nodded at this.

“Besides, you haven’t been home in years. It’s good to stay home and accompany Aunt Rou.”

Ah Rou also seized the opportunity to cooperate.

“Yes, Xiao Wu, you should stay and accompany Mom.”

Xiao Wu said with a wronged expression.

“Alright.”
