Chapter 191 A Thousand Hours of Night

Tang Nian felt uneasy, unsure of what awaited her ahead, but in any case, she disliked this feeling of losing control.

As she quickened her pace, she finally saw a faint glimmer of light at the edge of the darkness.

For Tang Nian, who had been living in darkness, this ray of light was undoubtedly a symbol of hope.

She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she could finally leave this terrible place. So, she quickened her pace, her eyes revealing determination and resolve, and ran towards the light without hesitation.

However, the ground beneath Tang Nian's feet began to change. The once hard ground became soft and uneven, no longer level.

But she didn't stop; instead, she ran forward with even greater determination. The light seemed to be guiding her, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, as if deliberately teasing her.

Despite this, Tang Nian did not back down and continued to follow the light closely.

As she chased the light, Tang Nian felt an invisible force propelling her forward.

Her heart raced, her breathing became rapid, but her heart was filled with anticipation and courage. She knew that as long as she persevered, she would find a way out and break free from the shackles of this darkness.

Finally, Tang Nian ran to the source of the light. When she was far away, the light seemed very close, but when she actually got close, she realized that the distance between them was not close at all.

Tang Nian was surprised to find that this was actually the entrance to an abyss. The light was just an illusion, a lure from the abyss. After realizing this, Tang Nian retreated in terror.

But she found herself sinking into even deeper darkness, with no light around her, only despair and fear spreading in Tang Nian's heart.

This bottomless darkness brought Tang Nian only inner fear.

……

Inside the Papal Palace.

Pope Bibi Dong, seated on her high throne, looked down at Shi Ye, who stood ramrod straight, and asked, "Is there anything you wish to say to me?"

Shi Ye lowered his head, concealing the emotions in his eyes, and slowly said, "Mother, I..."

Before Shi Ye could finish speaking, Pope Bibi Dong interrupted her, saying, "Qian Shi Ye, I've told you before, don't call me mother. I'm not your mother. Call me Pope."

After speaking, Pope Bibidon raised her head slightly, her face displaying the unique dignity of a pope.

Qian Shiye's voice was somewhat muffled as he spoke, "Yes, Your Holiness, but I truly knew nothing about this matter."

Pope Bibi Dong snorted coldly, seemingly not entirely believing Qian Shiye's words. She said coldly, "You should think carefully. You were personally trained by the Spirit Hall. You should know what you should do and what you shouldn't do."

Qian Shiye lowered his head, his eyes filled with frost, his cold gaze seemingly pushing him into endless darkness. "Pope, I know in my heart that I owe everything I have achieved to the Spirit Hall, and I will always remember that."

For some reason, Pope Bibi Dong felt a pang of unease after hearing Qian Shiye's words. She inexplicably felt that there was something strange about what Qian Shiye had said.

But Pope Bibidon waved her hand and said calmly, "Step down."

"Yes, Your Highness." Qian Shiye bowed and then withdrew.

Pope Bibi Dong stared intently at Qian Shiye's retreating figure, then waved to the cardinal beside her and said, "Investigate."

"Your Holiness, shall we follow the young master?" The cardinal knelt on the ground and asked respectfully.

Pope Bibi Dong snorted coldly, glancing at the cardinal with disdain, and said, "He's a Title Douluo. Do you think you can hide from him for long with your soul power level?"

The cardinal bowed to Pope Bibidon and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Pope Bibidon waved her hand impatiently, signaling everyone to leave.

Outside the Papal Palace, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei had been waiting for a long time, but they were hiding on a nearby building. There were many Spirit Hall people guarding the entrance to the Papal Palace.

However, both Yue Guan and Gui Mei were powerful Title Douluo-level experts. Although the Spirit Hall was powerful in the Douluo Continent, Title Douluo were not as common as cabbages. For a moment, no one noticed their presence.

Qian Shiye noticed it as soon as he left the Papal Palace, but he did not show any abnormality and walked straight outside.

Qian Shiye finally stopped in a corner of Wuhun City. Nothing in Wuhun City could escape the eyes of Pope Bibi Dong. If she wanted, she could know everything in Wuhun City and even the entire Douluo Continent.

There are Qian Shiye's people in Wuhun City, but Bibi Dong has begun to suspect him and will definitely send people to investigate. Qian Shiye doesn't want to expose their whereabouts.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Just as Qian Shiye stopped in a secluded corner, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei flashed by and instantly appeared beside him.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei bowed respectfully to Qian Shi Ye and said, "Young Master."

At this moment, Qian Shiye was completely unlike the relaxed person he was with Tang Nian. On the contrary, his expression was very cold, and he slowly nodded.

Yue Guan asked worriedly, "Young Master, does the Pope's summons of you indicate he suspects you?"

Qian Shiye nodded indifferently. "That's right. You must keep a certain distance from me during this period. Don't let the Pope suspect you. Keep yourselves hidden."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei nodded. Gui Mei said in a sinister tone, "Young Master, those people are truly useless. Should I go and take care of them?"

Qian Shiye shook his head and said coldly, "We need to find a way to deal with those people, but not now. The Pope has already set his sights on me because of them. If they die now, I will never be able to clear my name."

Yue Guan nodded in agreement and said, "Young Master, please take a good vacation these days. You can leave these matters to the two of us."

Qian Shiye nodded slowly, then asked with concern, "By the way, have you found any trace of Niannian?"

Yue Guan shook his head with a serious expression and said, "As you know, Tang Hao is too strong. Although the two people we sent out were Soul Douluo level experts, they were still far inferior to Tang Hao and couldn't keep up with him. So far, our people haven't found any trace of Miss Tang Nian."

Qian Shiye frowned deeply, his eyes filled with worry. "Tell them to keep a close eye on Niannian's whereabouts."

Yue Guan said, "Young Master, please rest assured, Miss Tang Nian is with Tang Hao, she will be fine."
