Upon hearing Yue Guan's words and the specific details, Bibi Dong's eyes instantly widened. The very thing she least wanted to happen had ultimately come to pass.
Qian Renxue and Xiao Yan had joined forces.
This meant there was an incredibly high probability that her plans would end in failure. Bibi Dong remained silent for a long time, a dark and gloomy expression flickering across her face before she sharply questioned Yue Guan.
"Yue Guan, can you guarantee this?"
"This... I cannot say for certain, Your Holiness. This was told to me personally by that fellow, Ci Xue."
Hearing the uncertainty in Yue Guan's tone, Bibi Dong finally managed to slightly restore her dignified and composed demeanor.
"Yue Guan, you may have been deceived. Continue your search for that Xiao Lin, and find a way to bring him back to me."
There was no trace of anger in Bibi Dong's tone; she spoke with absolute serenity.
"Your Holiness, are you saying that fellow Ci Xue lied to me?"
"It is only natural. Heaven Dou City is her territory, so she possesses the home-field advantage. Whether it is true or not, being deceived or not doesn't matter."
Bibi Dong explained to Yue Guan, "If Xiao Yan had truly joined Qian Renxue's faction, then Dugu Bo wouldn't have needed to take Xiao Lin away."
With Dugu Bo's protection and Ci Xue guarding from the shadows, Xiao Lin wouldn't encounter any danger, so there would be no natural reason for Dugu Bo to take him away for protection.
"This subordinate has failed you!"
"No matter. Continue to Heaven Dou City. Under no circumstances must you give Qian Renxue the opportunity to make contact with Xiao Yan, nor must you let her contact Xiao Lin and his group."
Bibi Dong waved her hand dismissively.
She still had use for Yue Guan and Gui Mei right now, so she couldn't be bothered to punish him over such a trivial matter.
"But, Xiao Lin's appearance remains an unknown variable, and I cannot stay in Heaven Dou City forever..."
Yue Guan was well aware of Bibi Dong's plan to hunt the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.
If he were to leave, how could Bibi Dong's hunting plan even begin?
"For ordinary matters, communicating via letters will suffice. I will be entering secluded cultivation within the next two years."
After speaking, Bibi Dong turned and departed from the Pope's Hall.
Seeing this, Yue Guan could only flash out of existence and disappear once more. Although Bibi Dong had seen through Ci Xue's scheme, a profound sense of urgency still gripped her heart.
She absolutely could not allow Qian Renxue and Xiao Yan to stand together!
Furthermore, she had to achieve Godhood before Qian Renxue did.
Regarding this point, Bibi Dong was under immense pressure.
Qian Renxue possessed the highest innate talent she had ever witnessed in history; even with her own twin martial souls, she couldn't compare to Qian Renxue.
Moreover, Qian Renxue possessed the inheritance of the Angel God, making her cultivation journey exceptionally smooth. This only heightened Bibi Dong's sense of urgency; right now, she only wished to continue completing new trials.
"Are you certain you wish to accept the next trial?"
Suddenly, the voice of the Rakshasa God echoed within her mind.
Having already thoroughly contemplated the matter, Bibi Dong didn't hesitate for a single second and firmly gave her consent.
"Yes."
"With your talent, there is absolutely no need to be so impatient. Besides, I haven't heard any news regarding the Sea God finding a successor."
"Though it's hard to say for sure. That Sea God brat looks completely harmless on the surface, but in reality, he's incredibly wicked, even more so than me... cough cough."
"I will ask one final time, are you certain?"
"I am certain."
Despite hearing the Rakshasa God's reassurance, Bibi Dong didn't dare to gamble.
She despised the lack of security that came with uncertainty—it felt exactly like the events that had transpired in that secret chamber over twenty years ago.
"Very well then. The Eighth Trial of the Rakshasa God:"
"Assemble a full set of soul bones on your body, with the average cultivation age of the soul bones being ninety thousand years or above."
"Divine Trial Reward: The cultivation age of all soul bones will be increased by ten thousand years."
As the Eighth Trial of the Rakshasa God was finalized, Bibi Dong's heart leaped.
The difficulty of this mission wasn't explicitly high, yet it was exceptionally demanding.
She didn't possess many soul bones on her body at the moment, but she did have two soul bones whose individual soul power didn't quite reach the hundred-thousand-year level.
These two soul bones were her left and right arm bones, dropped by a single Death Spider Emperor that was over a hundred thousand years old.
That Death Spider Emperor's soul power cultivation age was barely at the hundred-thousand-year mark, yet it had dropped two soul bones.
There was naturally no need to question its strength, but Bibi Dong couldn't be entirely certain about the exact cultivation age of these two individual soul bones.
If they were only counted as two fifty-thousand-year soul bones, then her Eighth Trial of the Rakshasa God would become highly problematic.
"Damn it, would the combined cultivation age of the soul bones from the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python even amount to two hundred and fifty thousand years?"
A trace of panic emerged on Bibi Dong's breathtakingly beautiful face.
Perhaps this was the price to pay for wanting to force her way through the Divine Tests so rapidly.
"I must continue the investigation. I need to find other hundred-thousand-year soul beasts to ensure that absolutely nothing goes wrong."
Because Gui Mei had been dispatched by her to investigate an unknown Cerberus soul beast, Bibi Dong currently lacked sufficient manpower to search for other hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Bibi Dong made her way to the Spirit Hall library.
She intended to scan through the various ancient records to find hundred-thousand-year soul beasts that possessed a high enough cultivation age, yet wouldn't pose too much of a danger to hunt.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Having received an official invitation via letter from Qin Ming, the Shrek crowd had spurred their horses forward at top speed to arrive at Heaven Dou City.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang and the others had just entered the city gates. Ma Hongjun and Oscar were instantly blown away by the sheer prosperity of Heaven Dou City.
"Wow! So this is the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City! It's amazing!"
In his sheer awe, drool was practically leaking from the corners of Ma Hongjun's mouth. He forced his small eyes to open as wide as possible, to the point where his vision was getting blurry from trying to take it all in.
Any random girl walking the streets here possessed a temperament and image that far surpassed the girls back around Shrek Academy.
"It really is spectacular!"
Oscar was also desperately scanning the surrounding girls.
The young ladies here were incredibly fair and beautiful. Once female Soul Masters absorbed soul rings, their appearances naturally became even more stunning and radiant.
Although not every single girl in Heaven Dou City was a Soul Master, the average looks and elegance here were undeniably the finest in the entire Heaven Dou Empire.
Suddenly, a group of students from the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy walked past them. The small group of noble youths were laughing and chatting among themselves—the men were handsome, and the women were gorgeous.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar's eyes didn't leave the female Heaven Dou Imperial Academy students for even a second.
"Heaven Dou City is nothing special."
Seeing his brothers acting like such simpletons, Dai Mubai immediately spoke up to deflate their excitement.
He viewed Ma Hongjun and Oscar as his future inner circle to help him defeat Dai Weisi. He absolutely could not allow them to lose themselves in the gentle, distracting pleasures of Heaven Dou City.
"Boss Dai, it's easy for you to say. We're just bumpkins who haven't seen the world. How about you treat us to a night out?" Ma Hongjun pouted.
"Hmph, a bunch of scumbags."
At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing let out a cold snort and abruptly turned her head to look elsewhere. She was genuinely afraid that Ma Hongjun and the others would pollute her vision.
"Alright, that's enough bickering from you four," Yu Xiaogang commanded sternly.
With Yu Xiaogang stepping in, the four of them stopped talking.
"Xiaogang, let me go ask those students how to get to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy."
"Uh... alright."
Yu Xiaogang nodded in agreement.
Originally, Yu Xiaogang had wanted to go ask himself.
After all, he was a famous figure, the true Grandmaster. However, the moment he recalled the words Zhao Wuji had said to him previously, he instantly lost his nerve and deflated, leaving Flender to handle it.
"Hello there, fellow students. I am Flender. We have received an invitation from your teacher, Qin Ming, to participate in an exchange match. Could you tell us how to get to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy?"
"An exchange match? Never heard of it. And with a bunch like you?"
The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy students glanced past Flender to look at Ma Hongjun and the others behind him, their faces twisting into expressions of deep doubt.
Just based on these few kids, they actually thought they could challenge the Emperor Team?
