In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 316 Qian Renxue, could it be that you've taken a fancy to that kid?

"I'll personally inform Ning Fengzhi," Qian Renxue said, then turned and flew away.

Bibi Dong frowned slightly but said nothing. She knew without guessing that Qian Renxue had gone to inquire about Long Yingtian's whereabouts. Being defeated by someone a whole realm lower than herself was clearly unbearable for the proud and arrogant Qian Renxue.

The only solution is to win it back through battle.

She is the same in this respect.

Being defeated by a junior who came from behind, and even suffering humiliation, can only be washed away with blood!

However, she is different from Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue wants to win fair and square. But she only wants to torture Long Yingtian to death. Therefore, if Qian Renxue and Long Yingtian really fight, she doesn't mind being the one to deliver the fatal blow.

Like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, her role was to be that oriole.

She could definitely sense a battle of god-level strength, so Qian Renxue's search for Long Yingtian wasn't necessarily a bad thing for her.

A quarter of an hour later, outside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Is he not here?" A sweep of divine sense revealed no trace of Long Yingtian, nor of Ning Rongrong and the other women.

However, it was sensed that Ning Fengzhi's cultivation had broken through, and had already reached level 85, which was clearly abnormal.

Putting aside leveling up, Ning Fengzhi simply doesn't have the ability to fix the flaws in his martial soul.

"Could it be him?" His eyes flashed, and he immediately flew towards Ning Fengzhi's location.

"It seems they guessed me through Ning Fengzhi." Although he was in the Dragon Realm, Zhu Wu noticed Qian Renxue immediately and couldn't help but guess.

"Sect Leader Ning, Qian Renxue from the Spirit Hall requests an audience." After all, she was her former teacher, so Qian Renxue greeted her politely.

Tap tap tap, Ning Fengzhi quickly led Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo out.

One is level 97 and the other is level 98. It seems that Long Yingtian has put a lot of effort into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School over the years. Qian Renxue scanned them at close range with her divine sense and quickly discovered that Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo both possessed 100,000-year-old soul bones, and Ning Fengzhi also had one.

No wonder she could directly reach level 85. Ning Fengzhi had been stuck at level 79 for many years and had already accumulated some experience. Now, with the addition of a 100,000-year-old soul beast soul ring and soul bone, her soul power could be boosted to level 85 after breaking through the bottleneck. In her opinion, this made sense.

Completely unfathomable, it seems Qian Renxue has already become a god. Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo exchanged a glance, both feeling a chill run down their spines.

"May I ask what brings Miss Qian here?" Ning Fengzhi asked politely, his expression calm.

Qian Renxue smiled slightly, her face possessing a beauty that could topple kingdoms. "Sect Master Ning, congratulations! Your martial soul has broken through its bottleneck, and you have obtained a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone."

"This is all thanks to my son-in-law, Yingtian," Ning Fengzhi said frankly, knowing Qian Renxue's purpose in coming.

"Does Sect Leader Ning know where Young Sect Leader Long has gone?" Qian Renxue asked immediately.

"I have already returned to my sect for seclusion, but I don't know exactly where he is." Ning Fengzhi's expression remained unchanged.

"However, before Ying Tian left, he said that if Miss Qian came looking for him, he should tell her that once he takes that step out of his seclusion this time, he will definitely go to challenge her in person."

"It now seems that Miss Qian was indeed one step ahead. I, Ning, offer my congratulations!"

As he spoke, he slightly cupped his hands in greeting.

It seems that guy anticipated my arrival. Qian Renxue nodded. "I have indeed succeeded to the position of Angel God. My purpose in coming here is twofold: first, to find Young Master Long and fulfill the challenge we made years ago; second, to inform Sect Master Ning that I will be attending the court assembly tomorrow to discuss our future plans."

"I will arrive on time," Ning Fengzhi said amiably.

"In that case, I shall take my leave." Qian Renxue nodded slightly, turned and flew away.

The three watched as Qian Renxue flew away until her figure completely disappeared.

"This Qian Renxue is quite upright, just like her grandfather Qian Daoliu, she has the air of a knight," Bone Douluo whispered.

"But as for Bibi Dong, it's hard to say."

This is evident in how she treated Yu Xiaogang. That woman, Bibi Dong, is prone to acting erratically.

Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, "Let's wait and see how things develop."

After saying that, he turned and went back into the house.

In the Dragon Realm, Zhu Wu withdrew his divine sense, closed his eyes, and continued to simulate and practice the cultivation technique.

Not long after, on the top floor of the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City.

"How was it?" Bibi Dong asked calmly upon seeing Qian Renxue return.

"Long Yingtian has already returned to the sect to attempt that next step," Qian Renxue said calmly. "I believe he will definitely succeed."

A hint of surprise flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes. Qian Renxue actually had such confidence in Long Yingtian. As far as she knew, there were only two known paths to godhood: faith and inheriting a divine position. Conquering a divine position through one's own efforts existed only in theory.

"You seem to have a lot of faith in him." She subconsciously asked, "Qian Renxue, could it be that you've taken a liking to that kid?"

"I think this is none of your business," Qian Renxue said coldly.

Bibi Dong's expression suddenly darkened, and she said coldly, "Qian Renxue, don't you know how many confidantes he has? You, a dignified angel goddess, are you really prepared to be a concubine to a mere mortal?"

"Also, there's something I must tell you."

"If he appears before me, I will kill him with my own hands to avenge the humiliation I suffered that day."

Qian Renxue's gaze suddenly turned icy, her eyes filled with mockery. "Bibi Dong, is this a disgrace to you or to Yu Xiaogang? He'd rather form a spiritual marriage with Liu Erlong than accept you, yet you still cling to him so desperately. Bibi Dong, don't you feel ashamed?"

"Shut up!" Bibi Dong's expression suddenly turned cold, and a terrifying aura erupted, causing Qian Renxue, who was caught off guard, to be knocked back on the spot.

"Bibi Dong, you disgust me!" Qian Renxue lightly touched her chest, her own aura immediately following suit.

"Whoosh. Puff puff puff." The two forces collided, creating a gust of wind that shattered the surrounding seats and sent them flying far away.

"Hmph, compared to Yu Xiaogang, Long Yingtian at least dares to act and never abandons the people he loves; on the contrary, he vows to protect them to the death!" Qian Renxue said coldly.

"Most importantly, I'm not like you, where everyone else doesn't want you anymore, and you still shamelessly cling to them."

"Qian Renxue, do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?" Bibi Dong's forehead veins bulged.

"You dare?" Qian Renxue sneered.

"You are no match for the Asura God, let alone the Sea God who is about to complete his inheritance. Do you think you will suffer the consequences if you lose, and what will happen to your precious disciple? Can you afford to lose?"

"You!" Bibi Dong clenched her fists, angry but unable to speak out. She did need Qian Renxue's help.

"Heh." Seeing Bibi Dong's appearance, Qian Renxue sneered and turned to fly away.

She didn't want to look at a shameless woman like Bibi Dong even once.

As soon as Qian Renxue disappeared from sight, Bibi Dong's aura suddenly exploded, and the surrounding seats instantly turned to dust.

"Fine, fine, even you're going against me!" He stared at the empty sky, gritting his teeth.

"Since you're so enamored with Long Yingtian, let me see how you'll react when he dies in front of you!"

Downstairs, Salas trembled and dared not go upstairs at all.

The following morning, in the Heaven Dou court, Ning Fengzhi led Sword Douluo in first, followed by Salas Dang.

The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. Weren't Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, who had already become gods, supposed to come? Where are they?

"I don't know." Xue Qinghe observed the expression and asked.

The next second, the main hall was illuminated by a brilliant purple and gold light, and Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue appeared at the same time, each with ten soul rings pulsating beneath their feet.

"It's true, it's really possible to become a god at level 100!" The ministers present were shocked and lowered their heads, not daring to look at each other.

Bibi Dong was very satisfied with the result and with a thought, she withdrew her spirit ring. Seeing this, Qian Renxue, standing nearby, withdrew her spirit ring without changing her expression.

"Your Holiness the Pope, Your Holiness the Angel, please take a seat," Xue Qinghe said very politely.

Bibi Dong nodded slightly and walked towards the seat that had been prepared for her.

Soon, he and Qian Renxue took their seats one after the other.

After some pleasantries, they began discussing the cooperation, and the process went extremely smoothly. Even the ministers present were surprised that Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue didn't make any unreasonable demands based on their power.

Therefore, the agreement was quickly finalized.

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue immediately took their leave.

Once outside, the latter didn't utter a word, turned around and flew towards Wuhun City.

Bibi Dong gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. After a while, she loosened them and leaped to catch up.

Looking at the empty seats in the main hall below, the ministers still felt as if they had been transported to another world.

"Does faith matter in God's eyes?"

In any case, the cooperation was successfully finalized, and Xue Qinghe immediately announced that the army was preparing for war and would soon head to the border.

Mobilizing a large army takes time, as does marching; from preparation to reaching the border, it's estimated to take at least a month. Of course, with two gods acting as a deterrent, avoiding war is best. Therefore, Qian Renxue suggested sending envoys to the Star Luo Empire en route to persuade them to surrender.

The ministers naturally seconded the proposal. With two gods participating in the battle, they had an absolute advantage. In their view, it was perfectly acceptable to do this, to first be polite and then use force.

"A month later, Tang San will probably have become a god by then, right?" Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but think to himself.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will return to the sect to make preparations." He turned around and bowed slightly.

Qian Renxue summoned him, clearly wanting his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to contribute, so he naturally couldn't refuse. Besides sending people, he was also given the position of strategist.

"Take care, Military Advisor Ning," Xue Qinghe said politely.

Ning Fengzhi bowed slightly to Xue Qinghe and the assembled ministers, then turned and left with Sword Douluo.

Upon their return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Zhu Wu immediately appeared.

Ning Fengzhi immediately informed him of the discussion process.

Zhu Wu pondered for a moment, then said, "If nothing unexpected happens, Tang Chen will most likely assist the Star Luo Empire along with Tang San."

"Moreover, the Star Luo royal family has no choice but to agree."

Bone Douluo nodded. "I also think they will choose to support one side. Otherwise, how can two people fight against the combined forces of the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire? And even if they can win, it wouldn't make sense not to get involved in a war between two countries."

"It's possible that we might even be besieged by the two great empires who share a common hatred."

"After all, Tang San attacked the people of the Star Luo Empire back then, and many forces there still remember that grudge."

"If the Spirit Hall uses this to divert attention from its own problems and pave the way for the Star Luo royal family to surrender—for example, if the continent is unified, it will be easier to manage and defend against corrupted spirit masters—the Star Luo emperor might actually just give in and surrender."

"Now it depends on whether Tang Chen and Tang San can make it back to the mainland ahead of time," said Sword Douluo.

"It's hard to say, after all, it's still a month before the army arrives at the border," said Bone Douluo.

"Who cares?" Zhu Wu said indifferently. "Anyway, they'll eventually go to war with the Spirit Hall. As for the safety of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I've already made preparations."

"That's fine," Bone Douluo said with a smile.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back and consolidate my cultivation." Zhu Wu added immediately, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on the outside world."

"Yes, business comes first." Ning Fengzhi nodded gently.

Zhu Wu said no more, and vanished from the spot in a flash. He returned to the Dragon Realm and continued tinkering.
