Reincarnated as the Death Spider Queen, sacrificing Bibi Dong at the start

“They must have disguised themselves as ordinary caravans, or even refugee flows, and they definitely evacuated in batches and in a dispersed manner.”

"Put yourself in their shoes," Nan Feng countered. "If you were the sect leader of the Haotian Sect, how would you arrange such a massive evacuation that concerns the very survival of the sect?"

Bibi Dong pondered for a moment, then calmly analyzed:

"I will break up the group and mix them into different caravans or civilian groups. And... we will never go in a straight line."

“I would have them go west or east first, take a long detour, or even pretend to go to other cities, and then quietly turn back to converge at the real destination.”

"Furthermore, there will be no direct contact between groups of people, and they may not even know the routes of others, to prevent them from being wiped out in one fell swoop..."

At this point, Bibi Dong herself was stunned.

"Isn't that settled then?"

Nan Feng shrugged. "The Heaven Dou Empire is so vast, with hundreds of paths leading to Heaven Dou City. If they're determined to hide, what's the difference between sending two hundred or so of us into the forest and searching for a needle in a haystack?"

"Then what should we do?" Bibi Dong asked, somewhat annoyed. "You were the one who swore you would intercept it, and now you're saying there's no way?"

“Who said there’s no way?” Nan Feng sat up.

"Since ambush on the way is not going to work, let's try a different approach."

"Since we know they'll eventually go to that safe house, why don't we just go to the finish line and wait there?"

"The end point?" Bibi Dong was taken aback, then said helplessly, "That's the crux of the problem! We have no idea where that so-called backup territory is!"

"Since this is the Haotian Sect's last trump card for survival, it must be top secret. No one except the core high-ranking members knows about it. Moreover, this kind of place must have been prepared hundreds of years ago. There's simply no time to conduct a temporary investigation."

"Investigate?" Nan Feng found it somewhat amusing. "Who told you to investigate?"

"We don't need to investigate, we just need to find someone... and ask them."

"Ask whom?" Bibi Dong asked, puzzled.

"Tang Yuehua".

"Tang Yuehua?" Bibi Dong was taken aback, then searched her memory for the name. "You mean... the direct descendant of the Haotian Sect's eldest daughter? Tang Xiao and Tang Hao's younger sister?"

"Yes."

Nan Feng snapped his fingers. "It's her."

"According to the Spirit Hall's information, although this Miss Tang's spirit is mutated and she will never be able to break through to level ten in her lifetime, she is a very famous figure in Heaven Dou City."

"She opened a prestigious etiquette academy called Yuexuan, which is a place that all the top nobles in the Tiandou Empire flock to. Even the royal family members of the Tiandou Empire, and even the great Emperor Xueye, have to give her some face."

"She is the Haotian Sect's representative in the secular world, and also the Haotian Sect's only and largest intelligence center and liaison station in Tiandou City!"

A glint of light flashed in Nan Feng's eyes:

"The main force of the Haotian Sect is to retreat into the Tiandou City area. The food, drink, and sanitation of thousands of people, as well as the supply of materials and communication with the outside world, cannot bypass this local strongman."

"She was probably even in charge of activating and maintaining that backup base!"

"Finding her is the key to the Haotian Sect's backup base!"

"You plan to pry information out of her?" Bibi Dong frowned, clearly not optimistic about the plan. "Nan Feng, don't forget, her surname is Tang. She is Tang Xiao and Tang Hao's younger sister, a direct descendant of the Haotian Sect."

"Even if she's not a Soul Master, this kind of woman has a strong backbone. How could she possibly betray her sect and her own brother?"

"Hard bones?" Nan Feng laughed.

"Tang Yuehua does love the Haotian Sect and her brothers. But it is precisely because of her love that she has a weakness."

"and……"

Nan Feng paused, his tone becoming meaningful:

"Who said I was going to torture her to force her to betray me?"

"You have to be careful when dealing with a smart woman like this."

"Do you really doubt my abilities in this area?"

Bibi Dong was speechless for a moment.

This old spider's ability to manipulate people is truly chilling!

"it is good."

In reality, Bibi Dong suddenly stood up and looked at the two elders, Ju and Gui, who were resting with their eyes closed.

"Moon Gate, ghostly apparition."

"Your Majesty!" The two quickly stood up.

"You take these two hundred Soul Masters and wait outside Heaven Dou City. I am going into the city." Bibi Dong looked at the majestic imperial capital in the distance.

"Let's go and pay a visit to that young lady from the Haotian Sect."

"Young Miss?" Yue Guan was taken aback.

"You mean Tang Yuehua?"

“That’s right. If the Haotian Sect really has a place here where they can save their lives, Tang Yuehua is definitely in the know,” Bibi Dong said calmly.

Yue Guan hesitated, then said, "Your Majesty, that's true, but..."

Want to learn this sect secret from Tang Yuehua?

is it possible?

"Alright." Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with purple light, and six purple wings unfolded behind her.

"I will handle the specifics myself; you shall act accordingly."

"As ordered!"

……

Tian Dou City, Yue Xuan.

As the highest-level academy of etiquette for nobles in the Heaven Dou Empire, this place is still brightly lit and filled with melodious music even at night.

Inside the private room on the top floor.

A woman dressed in a silver palace gown, exuding elegance and nobility, sat by the window, toying with a delicate jade cup in her hand. However, her gaze was not on the bustling night view outside the window, but rather revealed deep worry.

Tang Yuehua.

As the representative of the Haotian Sect in the secular world, she naturally received the news immediately that the sect was closing its mountain, Tang Hao had been expelled, and the sect's core members were about to be secretly transferred to the backup clan territory.

"Second brother..."

Tang Yuehua gazed out the window, muttering to herself, "Where have you gone? The sect has suffered such a calamity, can you really bear to watch everything be destroyed?"

Where did he go?

A slightly languid voice suddenly rang out in the room.

"He's probably recuperating in some dark, damp mountain ravine. After all, being besieged by three Title Douluos, even if he managed to escape, he'd be half dead. How could he care about the fate of the Clear Sky Sect?"

"Who?!"

Tang Yuehua's expression froze, and she almost dropped the jade cup in her hand.

She whirled around, staring at the purple-clad woman who had suddenly appeared before her. Her stunningly beautiful face, her haughty demeanor, and that chilling purple-gold armor…

Images from deep within my memory overlap with what I see before my eyes.

"Bi...Bibi Dong?!"

Tang Yuehua's pupils contracted slightly.

Although that was more than a decade ago, back then Bibi Dong was still the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, and she was just a fledgling young lady of the Clear Sky Sect.

But she has had a photographic memory since childhood, especially for those who amaze or threaten her.

Bibi Dong undoubtedly possesses both qualities.

However, Bibi Dong of today has long since shed her youthful naiveté, replaced by a suffocating aura of authority and oppression.

After a brief moment of shock, Tang Yuehua displayed remarkable composure. She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil within her, and forced a polite smile onto her face:

"His Holiness the Pope's presence brings great honor to our humble abode."

"I wonder how Your Majesty, instead of commanding with composure at Haotian Peak, could have found the leisure to come to this mundane world?"

As Tang Yuehua spoke, she observed Bibi Dong discreetly.

The information she received was that the Pope was personally leading an army to besiege the Haotian Sect's mountain gate, so how could he suddenly appear in Tiandou City, thousands of miles away?

Is it...

"It's nothing serious."

Nan Feng picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup, took a small sip, and praised:

"Good tea."

"I have only heard that Madam Yue, the owner of Yuexuan, is exceptionally beautiful and talented. I just happened to be passing by and thought I would like to come and see for myself."

"What? You're not welcome?"

"Your Majesty is too kind." Tang Yuehua bowed slightly, her tone gentle yet respectful. "It is my honor to have the favor of His Holiness the Pope. However, Yuexuan is simple and I am afraid that it may have slighted our distinguished guest."

"It's not shabby, it's quite good."

Nan Feng put down his teacup, glanced around the hall, and finally his gaze fell on the guqin.

"I've heard that Lady Yue's musical skills are unparalleled in the world, and even Emperor Xueye praised them highly."

"I've been fighting all this time, either killing people or on my way to kill people. I'm really exhausted."

Nan Feng leaned back in his chair, looking languid and tired.

"Would Lady Yue do me the honor of playing a tune? To help me... relieve my fatigue?"

Tang Yuehua's heart tightened, and she forcefully suppressed the inexplicable anger.

This woman killed so many of her clansmen, forcing the Haotian Sect to close its mountain, and now she actually has the nerve to come here and ask her to play the zither to relieve her fatigue.

This is absolutely outrageous!

But circumstances are beyond our control.
