Douluo: Ant Power Breaks the Sky

The next day.

Shi Yi and Zhu Zhuqing were having breakfast in the courtyard, enjoying the hard-earned peace.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Shi Yi and whispered, "When do you plan to go to Tianshui?"

Shi Yi looked at Zhu Zhuqing with some surprise and chuckled, "Little cat, why do I feel like you really want me to find a few more women?"

Zhu Zhuqing naturally leaned towards Shi Yi and whispered softly, "Aunt Dong thinks highly of you. Since you and I have both accepted the protection of the Spirit Hall, we cannot stay out of the Spirit Hall's affairs. You should know the Spirit Hall's intentions better than I do. You and I are both tied together. I hope you have more bargaining chips, and I don't want to see you meet Miss Bing'er on the battlefield."

Shi Yi felt warm at heart when he heard this, and said softly: "It's great to have you, Zhu Qing."

"Me too, Xiaoyi. Every day is happy and relaxing with you." Zhu Zhuqing said softly.

"It's been three years since the competition. We should go and watch it now before the Spirit Hall and the two empires fall out." Shi Yi said softly.

"So when do you plan to leave?" Zhu Zhuqing asked softly.

"Don't worry, I still want to spend more time with my little cat. Don't worry, Aunt Dong will summon me in a few days." Shi Yi whispered in her ear, and the warm breath made Zhu Zhuqing blush.

In this way, Shi Yi accompanied Zhu Zhuqing for several days. During the day, he accompanied Zhu Zhuqing to stroll around Wuhun City and experience the normal life that he had not seen for a long time. At night, he practiced and petted cats.

As Shi Yi expected, on the eighth day after he returned to Wuhun City, Bibi Dong sent someone to summon him.

Leaving Zhu Zhuqing in the courtyard to practice, Shi Yi went towards the Pope's Palace. Knowing too much would not be a good thing for Zhu Zhuqing.

When they were halfway up the mountain but not yet at the Pope's Palace, Shi Yi happened to meet Hu Liena who was also heading to the Pope's Palace. Just as he was about to say hello, Hu Liena simply passed by and sped towards the Pope's Palace.

Shi Yi just smiled slightly and walked slowly towards the Pope's Palace.

Not long after, Shi Yi entered the hall and saw Hu Liena, Jue Gui and Bibi Dong.

Shi Yi bowed slightly towards Bibi Dong and Ju Gui and said, "Aunt Dong, two seniors."

Jue Gui and the other two nodded slightly, and Bibi Dong smiled and asked, "How was your rest these days?"

"It feels great to come out of a place like that and return to the orderly Wuhun City. Thank you for your concern, Aunt Dong." Shi Yi chuckled.

Bibi Dong nodded slightly and said seriously: "Well...Xiao Yi, I came to you this time to discuss something with you. Are you ready?"

Shi Yi bowed slightly to Bibi Dong again and said, "Aunt Dong has treated me well. Zhu Qing and I are both protected by the Spirit Hall. We can't stay out of anything. I just hope I can avoid participating in the destruction of Blue Lightning."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong, Ju Gui and the other two looked at Shi Yi in surprise.

"How did you know that?" Bibi Dong looked at Shi Yi and asked softly.

Shi Yi sighed slightly and said, "Aunt Dong, even Zhu Qing can see the ambition of the Spirit Hall, how can I not see it? As the number one power on the continent, the current territory of the Spirit Hall can no longer meet the development needs of the Spirit Hall. The power advantage of the Spirit Hall lies in the large number of high-level spirit masters. If they want to wipe out the two empires, of course they have to start with those difficult sects. Defeating the enemy's high-level spirit master power is the prelude to the start of the war."

Bibi Dong looked at Shi Yi and sighed, "You really have inherited your teacher's true teachings. I am indeed going to start eliminating the sect forces in Tiandou, and the leaders will naturally be Lan Dian and Qibao. What do you think of this plan?"

Shi Yi nodded slightly and said, "Your plan is very good. If you can mobilize all the power of the Spirit Hall and flatten Tiandou in one wave, this plan is very good. Prioritizing the defeat of the enemy's high-level spirit masters can give you a lot of advantages in the early stages of the war. Gathering all the power of the Spirit Hall can also instantly flatten Tiandou and form an aggressive momentum, but..."

Bibi Dong looked at Shi Yi and whispered, "But what?"

Shi Yi smiled bitterly and continued, "Aunt Dong, but the prerequisite for completing this plan is that you can mobilize all the power of the Spirit Hall."

Hu Liena looked at Shi Yi, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wisdom, and said as a matter of course: "Teacher can certainly mobilize all the power of the Spirit Hall."

Shi Yi ignored Hu Liena. In his opinion, Hu Liena, the saint, was just an empty shell. Whoever possessed high-end combat power would have the final say. The Titled Douluo fostered by Bibi Dong were nothing compared to the Qian family's foundation. Only Bibi Dong was awesome.

Upon hearing this, Jue and Gui quickly lowered their heads. Hu Liena didn’t know, but didn’t the elders know either?

"This kid really dares to say that." Guimei said secretly in his heart.

Bibi Dong whispered: "What if I can use the power I have now to flatten Tiandou?"

Shi Yi shook his head slightly and said, "Unless you can kill Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Yu Yuanzhen, and Ning Fengzhi, even if you occupy the entire Tiandou territory, it will not be of much use. The number of people is not the advantage of the Spirit Hall, but the high-end combat power is. If you conquer such a large area, it will continue to disperse your own forces. For the spirit masters of the sect, destroying their sect is no different from killing their entire family. Once you fail to kill all the important figures in their sect, the seeds of hatred will be planted, and they will continue to resist you. Either you die or they die, or you don't do it. If you do it, do it thoroughly."

Bibi Dong looked deeply at Shi Yi in silence. Then, a complex expression appeared in Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes. She sighed slightly, looked at Shi Yi and whispered, "Do you have any better plan?"

Shi Yi looked at Bibi Dong and whispered, "In fact, it is not a problem to unify the entire continent with the power of the Spirit Hall. The key is the question of speed. In this case, why not wait for the hidden chess pieces in the Heavenly Dou to exert their strength?"

Bibi Dong looked at Shi Yi deeply. Shi Yi knew more than she thought.

"Have you seen her?" Bibi Dong asked softly.

"After the Soul Master Competition, Ning Fengzhi wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife. The knife she borrowed was the Tiandou royal family. At that time, Xiao Yi sensed the two Titled Douluos protecting her. No other force except the palace could have used two Titled Douluos to protect one person. Moreover, she even dared to call you by your name. There are not many people like you." Shi Yi said softly.

Hearing Shi Yi mention Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong's expression became complicated. Bibi Dong didn't seem to want people to see her next expression. She turned around, facing away from Shi Yi and the others, and said softly, "Okay, you guys go back first, let me think about it alone..."

Jue Gui and the others were as if they had been pardoned. They quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Then, Juegui and the other two rescued Shi Yi and Hu Liena at lightning speed.

After leaving the hall, Yue Guan and Gui Mei breathed a sigh of relief and let Shi Yi and Hu Liena go.

"You are really brave." Yue Guan said to Shi Yi.

"It's just you, kid. No one has ever dared to speak to His Holiness the Pope like this." Guimei said to Shi Yi.

"Senior, don't worry, Aunt Dong will understand." Shi Yi said with a smile.

Gui Mei and Yue Guan looked at each other and sighed slightly. In fact, they knew the shortcomings of Bibi Dong's plan, but they understood that perhaps Bibi Dong wanted to wait for the hall to fail and force those old guys to take action. Only in this state can the precarious Wuhun Hall burst out with real power. "Boy, there are some things we can't say clearly. With the great talent and strategy of Her Majesty the Pope, she must know the shortcomings of the plan, but she also wants to take advantage of this weakness."

A ghostly voice came to Shi Yi's ears.

Shi Yi was slightly startled when he heard this. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something and murmured softly, "So that's it."

"Use external conflicts to build internal unity." Shi Yi said secretly in his heart.

Shi Yi kept recalling the original work in his mind. Indeed, considering from Bibi Dong's position, she must be the one to fire the first shot. The old guys in the Qian family only wanted Qian Renxue to become a god, and expansion and aggression were not in line with the ideas left by the Angel God. And when Bibi Dong brought all these big troubles back, these old guys had to take action no matter what.

Shi Yi thought more deeply and couldn't help but feel terrified, as the Angel God's past experiences kept appearing in his mind.

"The first generation of angel gods helped humans eliminate disease and sin, leaving light and hope in the world, and Bibi Dong, the successor of the Rakshasa God..."

“What a big chess game.”

Shi Yi didn't know whether Qian Daoliu did it intentionally or unintentionally, but the fact was that the Worship Hall sent out the Angel Legion and several major worshippers only after the Spirit Hall began to lose.

After Bibi Dong's defeat, the Qian family, representing the sacred light, stepped in to help end the war and naturally spread the faith of angels.

It can be said that there is a certain tacit understanding between Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, but they are both for one person, that is Qian Renxue.

"But they never expected that Tang San would be able to revive and become the God King. The gods who look down on the human world from the God Realm are the real chess players."

Shi Yi had a complicated look on his face and sighed secretly in his heart. It turned out that some things were already destined.

Bibi Dong will still launch this soul hunting operation at all costs, just like in the original novel.

"But the ending has changed." Shi Yi said secretly in his heart.

Thinking of this, Shi Yi no longer felt conflicted. Some things could not be changed. All he had to do was to make himself stronger and deal with what would happen next.

Then Shi Yi suddenly stopped and bowed slightly towards the ghost.

"It's good that you've figured it out." The ghost said lightly.

"Ghost Elder, what riddle are you talking about?" Hu Liena pouted.

Yue Guan looked at Hu Liena and couldn't help laughing: "Nana, you are really silly and cute."

"Okay, knowing too much is not good for you. Practice well and don't let down the Pope." The ghost whispered to Hu Liena.

In Guimei's opinion, Bibi Dong is paving the way for Hu Liena. Only if Bibi Dong unites the forces within the hall and truly creates great achievements in the history of the Spirit Hall, will Hu Liena, the hollow saint, have a chance to take over.

Hu Liena nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Ghost Elder."

The group slowly walked down the mountain. Shi Yi bowed slightly to Ju Gui and the others and said, "Seniors, I will leave first. Thank you for your advice."

The ghost nodded and said, "Don't be so reckless again."

Shi Yi nodded slightly and then disappeared.

Watching Shi Yi leave, Hu Liena slowly lowered her head.

“Nana, if you like Xiaoyi, you can’t show your temper. Xiaoyi is not Yan.” Yue Guan chuckled when he saw this.

"Who... who likes him..." Hu Liena turned her head away and said stubbornly.

Yue Guan shook his head helplessly upon seeing this, and then he and Gui Mei disappeared in a flash.

Soon, they returned to their own courtyard. When Shi Yi entered the courtyard, Zhu Zhuqing came up to him and asked softly, "What does Aunt Dong want to talk to you about?"

Shi Yi smiled and shook his head, saying, "Nothing serious, just a simple lesson."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly: "Have you decided when to go to Tianshui?"

Shi Yi came back to his senses after hearing this, nodded and said, "I haven't thought about this yet, but Aunt Dong's situation is pretty much as I expected. Aunt Dong should be making a move soon."

"Xiao Yi, if you want to go, have you thought about how to convince Sister Bing'er to go with you? This news must not be leaked out. Once it leaks out, it will ruin the big things in the palace." Zhu Zhuqing said softly.

Shi Yi smiled bitterly and said, "This is also a headache for me. Tianshui College is still a college in Tiandou after all, and it has countless connections with the royal family and nobles. This matter cannot be told to others, and I don't have the ability to take everyone from Tianshui away. If we meet on the battlefield..."

"I've allowed you to flirt with other girls, and now you know the headache. In my opinion, it's better for you not to go before Aunt Dong's action begins. As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Aunt Dong's primary target will not be the students. It would be better for you to go to Tianshui after Aunt Dong's action begins, or even after it has made some progress. You might even be able to make a contribution by the way." Zhu Zhuqing said with a smile.

Shi Yi slowly embraced Zhu Zhuqing in his arms and chuckled, "It seems that my little kitty does have the talent to be a queen, but it's a pity that you can only be my little kitty if you follow me."

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Shi Yi in a reproachful manner, then gently patted Shi Yi's chest and said, "I don't want to be a queen. I just want to be your...wife."

At the end, Zhu Zhuqing felt a little embarrassed to say it out loud, so she changed to a more appropriate word.

Looking at the somewhat embarrassed Zhu Zhuqing, Shi Yi chuckled and said, "As long as you are by my side, I can do anything."

When Shi Yi's hands began to move restlessly on Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuqing blushed and gently pushed him away, saying unhappily, "No, it's still daytime, Xiao Yi, you've been getting lazier lately, accompany me to practice."

Shi Yi looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a smile and whispered in her ear: "Practice during the day, then at night..."

Zhu Zhuqing gave Shi Yi a coquettish look and said with a red face: "Let's talk about it tonight..."
