Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 171 You want to gamble on my luck?
……

Seven days later.

Just as Bibi Dong suspected that Xuanming might have been drowned by the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and was about to go down to check the situation, the calm water surface finally rippled.

Under the tense gaze of Bibi Dong and A Yin, Xuanming's three heads slowly emerged from the water.

They stared at each other.

Xuanming glanced at Bibi Dong, then looked down at his naked body, and finally looked at the clothes lying on the shore.

"Why don't you leave for a moment?" Xuanming said.

Bibi Dong's face flushed slightly, and she nodded awkwardly before slowly turning her back to him.

Ah Yin pouted, pretended to cover her eyes with her hands, and muttered, "It's not like I haven't seen it before..."

Xuan thought for a moment and decided it was better to be safe. So he manipulated the ice elements on one side of the cold spring, and the ice elements quickly gathered on his body, gradually forming a layer of blue and white ice armor.

"Can't you have some trust?" Ah Yin put her hand down.

"I've already covered my eyes!"

Xuanming glanced at Ayin speechlessly, then went ashore and put his clothes on.

Bibi Dong turned around and asked, "How are you feeling?"

"The physical injuries are almost healed," Xuanming said.

"It's just that my soul power is still unstable and my martial soul has some problems. I'll be fine after resting for a while."

The Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone now possesses terrifying regenerative abilities; with sufficient energy supply, even the most severe injuries can be quickly healed.

He was suppressed by Qian Daoliu's divine soul power before; otherwise, with the plant energy gathered by A Yin, he could have recovered there, though it would have been slower.

"How did you know I was taken away by She Long?" Xuan Ming asked.

Bibi Dong was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Qian Renxue told me."

“Qian Renxue?” Xuanming frowned.

"Has she lost her mind?"

Qian Daoliu wanted to kill him, so Qian Renxue went to Bibi Dong to save him.

Is he planning to play the hero and rescue the damsel in distress, taking advantage of her vulnerability?

One red face, one white face?
But wait, if Bibi Dong is called over, what does that have to do with Qian Renxue?
“He shouldn’t be out of his mind,” Bibi Dong said.

"At that time, Qian Daoliu truly harbored murderous intent."

At first, she also suspected that this was a scheme conspired by Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu to help Qian Renxue gain Xuanming's trust.

However, after seeing the half-dead Xuanming and the murderous intent revealed by Qian Daoliu, she gave up the idea.

It's a self-inflicted injury scheme, and Xuanming is the one suffering. It's better not to take action at all, as it leaves room for maneuver.

But Qian Daoliu not only made a move, he really intended to kill!

If she hadn't taken Qian Renxue hostage at the time, Qian Daoliu would definitely have made a move!

Things have escalated to this point, and it's no longer a case of feigning injury.

"Hmm?" Bibi Dong was about to say something when her expression suddenly froze, and she turned to look out of the valley.

"You rest here, I'll go out and take a look."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bibi Dong flashed away.

"They actually found it?" Xuanming frowned slightly.

"Don't worry, that old man can't do anything to you here," the Ice Dragon King said.

"It's not that I'm worried about safety, it's just that things have become complicated," Xuanming sighed.

“If you’re worried about Qian Daoliu, I can team up with Bibi Dong and take care of that old bastard right here,” the Ice Dragon King said.

"But what if he doesn't fight?" Xuanming said. "A demigod-level peerless Douluo who doesn't want to fight and only wants to escape, can you stop him?"

"Without absolute certainty, do you think Bibi Dong would join forces with you?"

The Eight-Winged Purple Light Wings have not yet perfectly matched Bibi Dong's power. She is currently only stronger than the Golden Crocodile, but she is definitely not at the level of true level ninety-nine.

Although the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King can unleash demigod-level power here, it is limited to this valley.

Moreover, Bibi Dong has been plotting in the Spirit Hall for so many years, and her strength and power are still insufficient. If she were to rashly break ties with Qian Daoliu, the Spirit Hall would be thrown into chaos regardless of whether she succeeds or not. She would not take such a risk.

The current Bibi Dong is not the same as before. She won't act impulsively, nor will she easily trust the Ice Dragon King. She won't make a move unless she's absolutely certain of success.

Moreover, Qian Daoliu is a cautious person, and once he senses danger, he will definitely get away immediately.

To forcibly kill a level 99 demigod, only a true god-level being could do so.

Even if Bibi Dong and the Ice and Fire Dragon King were together, they wouldn't have the ability to forcibly keep Qian Daoliu here.

He originally planned to leave after reaching level 60. By then, Qian Renxue would definitely not tolerate him anymore, and things on the Tiandou Empire side would be almost settled, so he could leave with a clear conscience.

Now that things have escalated to this point, it would be better if they didn't take action. Qian Daoliu doesn't want to break ties with Bibi Dong, so at least they can reconcile for a few years. It's just that he'll have to change his stance in the future, just like when he fought Qian Renxue in the Hall of Worship and still came to Tiandou City from Wuhun City.

But if they make a move, the power of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King will be exposed, and Qian Daoliu will have his eye on him. How could he possibly give him another chance to enter the City of Slaughter?
Next, those old fogies in the Hall of Offerings, and even the Angel Legion, might have to come here to wait for him!
Without the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King can only briefly unleash their level 99 power. If they are caught up, they are doomed.

Staying in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is safe, but we might get trapped and die soon.

That night, he originally planned to launch a surprise attack on Qian Daoliu, then run away to another place and quietly return to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, but now his base is surrounded...

"If we don't fight, we can drag this out for a few more years; if we fight, it's just a gamble." Xuanming lay down.

"You're betting on my luck?"

The Ice Dragon King remained silent.

Gambling on Xuanming's luck? What's the difference between that and suicide?
……

Outside the valley.

In order to search for Sunset Forest, Qian Daoliu directly transferred all the Soul Douluos and Soul Saint Bishops from the Martial Soul Temple of Heaven Dou City, along with Chrysanthemum Ghost and Serpent Spear Douluo, totaling nearly twenty people. They searched for seven days and seven nights in Sunset Forest, and finally, they located this valley surrounded by a poisonous fog maze.

“This should be Dugu Bo’s residence,” Yue Guan said.

"Only that old poison master could create such a poison array."

"Anyone below the Soul Saint level who goes in is doomed. Even Soul Saints and Soul Douluos will be poisoned. Only Title Douluos can remain unaffected."

“Ghost, go in and take a look,” Qian Daoliu said.

"The rest of you, surround this place."

"Yes, sir." The group of Soul Douluos and Soul Saints immediately dispersed and surrounded the huge poisonous mist valley from all directions.

"What do you want to do?"

Just as the ghost was about to enter, a purple streak of light suddenly flew out of the valley and hovered in mid-air.

"Your Holiness the Pope?" Kiku and Kiku looked at each other, completely bewildered.

Didn't they say they discovered Tang Hao's whereabouts? Could it be that Bibi Dong is colluding with Tang Hao?

Qian Daoliu frowned and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

"Isn't this all thanks to the Grand Elder?" Bibi Dong said calmly, her tone tinged with sarcasm. "If you hadn't beaten Xuanming half to death, I wouldn't have brought him here."

Qian Daoliu frowned even more deeply and asked in a deep voice, "Why aren't you taking him back to heal? What are you doing here?"

"Go back? Go back where?" Bibi Dong retorted, a cold glint in her eyes. "The Spirit Temple? Is that place safe?"

As she spoke, Bibi Dong coldly glanced at Chrysanthemum Demon and the group of Spirit Hall Soul Masters present.

Everyone froze, quickly lowering their heads, not daring to meet Bibi Dong's gaze.

What's going on?! Weren't you supposed to be looking for Tang Hao? How did you become the Pope?
