Chapter 220: Bibi Dong and Hu Liena
Buzz——
Seeing that Tang Chen didn't resist, Su Mo directly activated the teleportation array, and in the blink of an eye, both of them vanished from outside the Slaughter City.
The soul masters inside Slaughter City had no clue that, from today onward, the Slaughter King had vanished.
But such things never stay hidden for long, hai na—soon enough, Slaughter City would plunge into chaos because of the King's disappearance.
And amidst the bloodshed, a new Slaughter King would naturally be born.
After all, Slaughter City was a place set up by the God of Rakshasa as a trial ground for inheritance. The rules still stood tall like the Himalayas—it wasn't something that could be broken so easily.
Su Mo couldn't be bothered with any of that for now. As long as Slaughter City still existed, it was fine by him.
All Bibi Dong needed was enough Evil Soul Masters to devour.
Buzz——
In the blink of an eye, Su Mo and Tang Chen appeared on Sea God Island.
"This is… Sea God Island…"
When Tang Chen saw the familiar surroundings clearly, his eyes instantly widened like saucers.
Even though Su Mo had already said he'd take him directly to Sea God Island, Tang Chen still hadn't imagined they'd arrive just like that—in the snap of a finger.
From Slaughter City to Sea God Island—aye bhagwan! Even if he personally rushed there, it would have taken him several days!
But now they had landed here in an instant.
When did the Douluo Continent develop such terrifying space-time soul skills?
Wasn't this something only a deity could pull off?
But after Su Mo detonated his soul rings, Tang Chen clearly sensed that Su Mo's soul power hadn't reached god-level.
Still, no matter how shocked he was inside, Tang Chen didn't dwell on it, because in the next second, a familiar figure appeared before his eyes.
Whoosh—
It was Bo Saixi.
The moment she sensed Tang Chen's aura on Sea God Island, Bo Saixi had rushed over without delay.
"Tang Chen…"
Even though he looked utterly wretched now, Bo Saixi recognized him instantly.
"Bo Saixi…"
Seeing her again, Tang Chen was overwhelmed with emotion.
But looking at her—still as stunning as a celestial maiden—and comparing it to his own sorry state, even Tang Chen couldn't help but feel ashamed.
In his heart, he knew—he was no longer worthy of Bo Saixi.
Thankfully, he only had a few days left to live. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have the face to return to see her.
"High Priestess, I've brought Tang Chen back for you!"
"That's all from me—I'll take my leave now!"
After speaking to Bo Saixi, Su Mo activated his time-space array again, and in a flash, disappeared on the spot.
Now that he was gone, Tang Chen had no way to return, nor would he ever know about the current state of the Clear Sky School.
Su Mo's grudge with the Clear Sky School didn't need to be dragged into this—there was no need for Tang Chen to know.
Besides, Su Mo figured Tang Chen probably wouldn't be too bothered. In his mind, under his leadership, the Clear Sky School had already become the number one sect in the world.
Tang Hao, that lad, had long since learned how to detonate his rings under his guidance. Even if he couldn't lead the sect to greater heights, at the very least, he could hold the fort.
Later on, Tang Hao did ask Bo Saixi about the state of the continent, but by then, Bo Saixi already knew that Tang Chen didn't have many days left. So she didn't speak the truth.
She was aware of what was happening across the continent—and with Su Mo still aiming to unify the land, a confrontation with the Clear Sky School was bound to happen. Either destroy it or defeat and conquer it—there was no third path.
There was no point telling Tang Chen and upsetting his last few days, hai na?
So she only said that the Clear Sky School was still the number one sect in the world, and that Tang Hao had already broken through to Title Douluo. As for the rest, she claimed she didn't know much.
Hearing that Tang Hao had reached Title Douluo at such a young age, Tang Chen asked no more.
"Tang Hao really didn't let me down!"
In his heart, Tang Hao had achieved Title Douluo so early, and with the Clear Sky School as the number one sect backing him, plus the Ring Detonation technique—there was nothing to worry about.
In the few days he had left, all he wanted was to spend them with Bo Saixi.
…
Spirit Hall.
After returning to Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong summoned Hu Liena.
"Teacher!"
Hu Liena arrived immediately.
But as she looked at her teacher, for some reason, she felt that something about her seemed different—no longer as deep or reserved as before.
However, the way Bibi Dong looked at her, as if seeing through everything with a certain meaning in her eyes, made Hu Liena feel slightly uneasy.
'Little flirt…'
Even though she knew she shouldn't describe her disciple that way, Bibi Dong couldn't help but let out a soft snort in her heart as she looked at Hu Liena.
She knew very well what kind of relationship Hu Liena had with Su Mo.
She also knew just how uninhibited Hu Liena became around Su Mo.
Just like the Hu Liena from the future timeline, despite being the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, she fell in love with someone she shouldn't have.
Hu Liena should clearly understand that Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire were not on friendly terms. If it weren't for her involvement, Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire would inevitably have been on opposing sides in the future.
And yet, knowing this, Hu Liena still chose to be with Su Mo.
This was undoubtedly a betrayal of her teacher.
"Hmph…"
But Bibi Dong merely snorted in her heart with some displeasure. She didn't hold too much against Hu Liena for her ungrateful behavior.
In the future timeline, she even forgave Hu Liena for falling in love with Tang San, so naturally, she wouldn't fuss too much about her being with Su Mo.
After all, if anyone had the deepest entanglement with Su Mo, it was Bibi Dong herself.
What she hadn't expected, though, was that she ended up sacrificing herself in order to achieve resurrection.
After returning, she often recalled that moment.
"Nana, there's something I need you to do."
Snapping out of her thoughts, Bibi Dong spoke to Hu Liena.
"Teacher, please instruct me!"
Hu Liena responded immediately.
"Those sect forces who secretly pledged allegiance to Spirit Hall—go inform them to join the war between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. Have them assist the Heaven Dou Empire in eliminating the Star Luo Empire as quickly as possible."
Bibi Dong spoke slowly.
She deliberately chose not to let Spirit Hall directly participate in the war between the two empires. As a religious power, Spirit Hall was better off avoiding direct involvement in imperial warfare.
"Ah…"
"Teacher, you mean…"
Hu Liena was stunned when she heard this, looking at Bibi Dong in disbelief, as if doubting what she'd just heard.
After all, Spirit Hall had previously chosen to support the Heaven Dou Empire in secret. But for some unknown reason, they later ceased their support.
That was why Hu Liena questioned if she'd misheard.
"You didn't mishear. Just do as I said."
Bibi Dong glanced at Hu Liena and confirmed it.
"Yes, Teacher. I'll follow your instructions right away."
Although Hu Liena was surprised by Bibi Dong's words, she didn't dare ask too many questions.
Besides, secretly helping the Heaven Dou Empire was something she had hoped for anyway.
