Chapter 21: Bibi Dong's Schemes and Guangling's Precise Ability to Hit the Sore Spots

Soon, they arrived at the place where Guangling was in seclusion. The powerful soul energy, carrying a slight chill, surged around them, making Han Li and Xiu'er feel slightly suffocated. They unconsciously opened their mouths wide, wanting to get more oxygen.

Upon seeing this, Qingluan quickly conjured a soul power shield in front of her, and the two of them returned to normal.

Han Li suppressed the shock in his heart. Although he had successfully become a Soul Master, in his mind Douluo was still a low-level character, someone that everyone ridiculed. Now that he had experienced it firsthand, he immediately put away his contempt.

"Senior Uncle, was Master's breakthrough really that spectacular?"

He looked at the clouds scattered by the wind, observed the objects around him being destroyed under the pressure of the overflowing soul power, and felt a tightness in his throat as if he had been choked just now. He asked, his mouth dry.

"Well, to be precise, it's only after level 95 that each level breakthrough is like this. When your second senior uncle broke through, the commotion wasn't as big as your master's, which is probably related to his comprehension of some elements. As for your eldest senior uncle, I don't know."

Qingluan gazed thoughtfully at the interwoven aura of ice and light in mid-air, and slowly answered.

"Is that so?"

Han Li silently memorized his words, then stopped talking and waited obediently.

The three of them were among the first to arrive here. Fortunately, Guangling had already given instructions before going into seclusion to evacuate everyone from the mansion, so they would not approach now.

As the surging aura intensified, several more people approached, including the other enshrined figures, though Qian Daoliu was not present.

"Why are they here too?"

The lion turned its head and gestured to the three people who had just reached the top of the mountain, its voice still carrying a hint of doubt.

The other worshippers shook their heads, no one responded, and they didn't even bother to say hello.

Han Li followed their gazes, his eyes narrowing slightly. Although no one introduced him, he recognized who the newcomers were at a glance.

The woman at the head of the group was very beautiful. She wore a long, flowing, golden gown that fit her perfectly from head to toe. The dazzling gown shimmered with jewels, adorned with over a hundred red, blue, and gold gemstones. She wore a nine-curved purple-gold crown and held a two-meter-long scepter inlaid with countless gems.

Such attire looked very sacred on the offering mountain, which was as bright as day. In addition, she was extremely beautiful, and her fair skin seemed to glow. The first impression she gave was no less than that of seeing the angel statue for the first time. Both of them made people want to worship her.

Who else could this be but the current Pope Bibi Dong? Unfortunately, Han Li wasn't buying it. Instead, he raised his guard to the highest level, not daring to let his gaze linger. He turned his attention to the two people behind her.

Yue Guan, also known as Ju Douluo, wore an extremely bright red suit covered in gold and silver patterns, with a gem the size of a baby's fist hanging on his chest. Combined with his bewitching face, well, it was indeed difficult to tell whether he was male or female. When he saw Han Li looking at him, he even smiled and winked.

Damn it, Han Li's mind was in turmoil. He quickly shifted his gaze to the other person, only to find that he could only see a blurry black figure. Even though it was as bright as day, he couldn't make out any details.

"A ghost, a Ghost Douluo? How amazing," Han Li exclaimed, then turned his gaze away and looked ahead.

After he withdrew his gaze, the three people opposite him began to scrutinize him and Xiu'er. To be honest, this was the first time they had seen this lucky kid from the intelligence report. He had actually risen to the top in one step and become a disciple of Guangling, and Guangling's mobilization of its follower families could not be kept from them.

It seems that Guangling cares a lot about this disciple, and the fluctuations in his soul power suggest that he has just broken through. I wonder if he is at level thirteen or fourteen. After glancing at the little boy, Bibi Dong had a thought, but then she stopped paying attention to him. He was just a kid who had just become a soul master, not worthy of her attention.

At that very moment, an even stronger shockwave erupted from the place where Guangling was in seclusion. The room collapsed amidst the surging air currents, and a crystal-clear bow slowly rose into the air, radiating intense ice and light elements that almost illuminated the entire sky of Wuhun City.

"Haha, I've successfully broken through to level 97."

In an instant, the shimmering bow disappeared, turning into a streak of blue-white light that fell back to the ground. Guang Ling's figure emerged from it, his smile arrogant.

"Congratulations, Fifth Brother."

"Hey kid, that's enough. Stop showing off and put your aura away."

"Guangling, you're really lucky. I just wonder when I'll be able to break through."

The other elders kept congratulating Guangling, ignoring his provocative smiles; they were used to it.

Meanwhile, three people in the distance slowly approached, seemingly also there to offer their congratulations.

"It seems the Five Offerings have become much stronger. Congratulations."

Not far away, Bibi Dong's voice also came over, but there was no trace of joy in her voice.

The priests exchanged glances, cupped their hands in greeting, and said in unison, "Greetings, Your Holiness."

Han Li frowned, pulled Xiu'er back a few steps without her noticing, and landed behind the other worshippers, where they bowed and paid their respects.

Bibi Dong ignored their greetings and instead turned her gaze toward Guang Ling's direction.

"Fifth Elder, as a colleague of the Spirit Hall, I wonder if you could share your insights on breaking through? You know, Elder Ju and Elder Gui have been stuck at level 95 for a long time. I hope you can give them some pointers. If they can fully comprehend it, it will make the Spirit Hall even stronger."

That's right, that's why Bibi Dong brought the two of them here. Although she knew the chances were slim, she wouldn't give up without trying. That's why she used the name of the Spirit Hall instead of the Pope's identity to give the order from the start. Guang Ling didn't care about her identity.

Upon hearing her words, a flash of anger crossed Guang Ling's face. They were complete strangers, so why should he give them pointers? Bibi Dong, you have quite the nerve, even using the Spirit Hall to intimidate him.

Then, recalling his repeated defeats in conflicts, he forcibly suppressed his profanity and replied calmly, "Your Holiness, haven't you also broken through the level 95 barrier? Why don't you personally guide the two elders? Are you reluctant to let them go? Or are you afraid that the two elders will join the Hall of Worship after their breakthrough?"

Upon hearing Guangling's words, Bibi Dong's expression remained unchanged, but her grip on the scepter tightened slightly.

She wasn't worried at all about joining the Hall of Worship after her breakthrough, but Guang Ling's words hit her sore spot. Was it that she didn't want to guide her? No, it was that she didn't know how. Although she had already become a peerless Douluo, the path she took was completely different from others. Her strength was entirely due to absorbing the spirit ring of her second martial soul and forcibly breaking through. In addition, although the Rakshasa God Trial didn't give her much help, it still gave her a green light at this level of breakthrough, so she didn't have any so-called enlightenment.

Or rather, her second martial soul is the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor. After devouring Qian Xunji, along with the stacked soul rings along the way, she unintentionally met the requirements. However, she was so affected that she didn't even notice. She was only thinking about destroying the Qian family's heritage and dealing with the divine test. She didn't have time to consider these things. Anyway, she had already achieved her goal.

But unexpectedly, Guangling's unintentional words have now put her in a difficult position, leaving her with no way out.

For a moment, the scene fell into a strange atmosphere.
