Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

The Papal Palace, the archives.

Wu Qi flipped through the documents of the Papal Palace over the years and figured out where Bibi Dong had dug pits for the Spirit Hall all these years.

Hu Liena brought him a lot of documents, then sat down beside him, resting her chin on her hands and quietly watching him.

She tried to strike up a conversation with him, but found that they had nothing in common.

After a long while, she seemed to remember something and asked, "Wu Qi, how did you cultivate your Killing God Domain? Why can't I sense the killing intent on you? Back then, it took me nearly two years to completely suppress my killing intent."

Wu Qi didn't look up, and casually replied, "Killing intent is like a flood; trying to block it will only make it worse. Try to channel it, and you'll gain something new."

"As for your first question, my Killing God Domain is gone, so there is no issue of killing intent."

Losing the God of Slaughter Domain but gaining the inheritance of the God of Destruction is definitely a win for Wu Qilai.

Furthermore, the Azure Phoenix is ​​a divine beast that brings good fortune, so making him a demon god who wields power and slaughter is somewhat incongruous.

Hu Liena suddenly stood up, surprised, and said, "Your Killing God Domain is gone! How did it disappear?"

If the God of Slaughter Domain, which was obtained through many hardships and dangers, were to disappear, wouldn't that mean all the previous efforts would have been in vain?
Qian Gu Chang Kong frowned and couldn't help but say, "What's with all the fuss? The Killing God Domain isn't some heaven-defying domain. Brother Wu has better ones, why cling to a broken domain?"

"Hu Liena, if you have nothing else to do, you can leave now. Don't disturb us as we're looking through the documents."

Wu Qi also waved his hand, signaling the other party to leave.

Hu Liena's doubts deepened, but since she was not yet an elder, she dared not disobey the two of them and had no choice but to leave.

A short while later, Qian Gu Chang Kong opened one of the documents and said, "Wu Ge, look."

"Two years ago, Wennan City had a bumper harvest, and Bibi Dong allocated a large amount of grain. Last year, due to drought, Wennan City had a poor harvest, and Bibi Dong allocated a large amount of grain again."

"This year, Wennan City has been affected by the border war, and the spies of the Star Luo Empire have destroyed a large number of uncultivated farmlands. I'm afraid this year's grain harvest will be drastically reduced. Once the city runs out of food reserves, there will be widespread famine."

Wu Qi added, "As long as someone stirs up trouble, the people in the city will definitely believe that the Star Luo Empire stole their grain reserves. At that time, public opinion will sway the Heavenly Dou royal family, and it will be difficult for the two empires to avoid war."

The reason they remembered Wennan City was because they had passed through that city during their previous training and knew that it was a major grain-producing town in the southern part of the empire.

If a grain-producing area loses its grain, not only will the people of Wennan City go hungry, but some surrounding cities will also be affected.

Bibi Dong's actions, seemingly normal business moves, actually harbored malicious intentions.

Qian Gu Chang Kong said repeatedly, "Angkor, we have it."

Wu Qi pressed his hand down and said in a deep voice, "It's too late."

As he spoke, he placed the first report he had seen in front of Qian Gu Chang Kong.

This report was submitted not long ago, and it records the situation in Wennan City.

At first, Wu Qi did not notice anything unusual. As a city near the border, it was normal for the people in the city to have some grievances due to the impact of the war.

By combining this information with documents found throughout history, the entire story becomes clear.

Bibi Dong secretly took away the grain reserves of Wennan City, resulting in two consecutive years of poor harvests. The people in the city had no food, so naturally they would riot.

Qian Gu Chang Kong hurriedly asked, "Brother Wu, what should we do next? Although we have arrived at the Papal Palace, we have no one under our command and cannot change the current situation."

Wu Qi picked up the conversation and continued, "We have neither manpower nor food. We can't handle this matter."

By allowing public opinion to sway the imperial family, Bibi Dong's move was incredibly brilliant.

Moreover, Bibi Dong certainly didn't only target Wennan City; similar incidents might have occurred in other cities as well. They learned of this too late, and had neither the need nor the ability to remedy the situation.

Public opinion will spread like a surging tide. If, in advance, certain families are arranged to provide fire, a full-scale war will inevitably break out between the two empires.

Judging from the current situation, a full-scale war would actually be advantageous to the Spirit Hall.

It's important to understand that war is not a game for nobles. Those soldiers at the lower levels are children from ordinary families. If there are heavy casualties, anti-war sentiment will inevitably arise among the people.

If Wu Qi had taken over the reins of the Spirit Hall at that time and adopted a policy of appeasement, he would have naturally regained the favor of the people.

……

Wu Qi and Qian Gu Chang Kong came to the Papal Palace to do their work, and that was no small matter.

In the coming days, they did indeed help Bibi Dong and Hu Liena with their affairs.

However, the two sides had significant differences. To prevent Wu Qi from secretly sabotaging her plans, Bibi Dong gave him a task for the first time.

The Pope's position was above that of the elders, so Wu Qi had no reason to refuse her arrangements.

As for the so-called mission, it was simply to be exiled to the frontier, temporarily away from the center of power.

To prevent Wu Qi from playing tricks, Bibi Dong deliberately sent three members of the Golden Generation to monitor their movements under the guise of a joint operation.

Just before her departure, Bibi Dong summoned Hu Liena alone.

"Nana, do you like Elder Wu?"

Having her thoughts exposed, Hu Liena lowered her head, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Bibi Dong's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

She paused, then continued, "Elder Wu is too young and impetuous. I want him to temper his temper. You are not allowed to return before the agreed time. Do you understand?"

"As for how you contact him, I don't care. I only care about when you'll return!"

For Hu Liena, being away from the center of power made life easier. Most importantly, she would be staying for several months, giving her ample time to interact with Wu Qi.

After Hu Liena accepted the order and left, Bibi Dong sat down in a chair looking exhausted.

In his mind, the voice of the Rakshasa God resounded, "Heh heh, sending your disciple to serve the enemy, are you going to fight him to the end, or are you choosing to surrender in disguise?"

"That's fine too. Even if you lose or even die, your disciple will at least have a way to survive."

Bibi Dong didn't answer. Instead, her face turned fierce, and she cursed, "Enough nonsense. Wu Qi's progress in merging divine power is far faster than mine. Whose fault is it?!"

The Rakshasa God chuckled evilly, "I told you long ago, the God of Destruction is a God-King, and his methods are far more powerful than mine."

……

Yan has a one-sided crush on Hu Liena, and now that Wu Qi has returned, he has completely stolen Hu Liena's attention. How could he be willing to accept this!

In front of Wuhun City.

As soon as the two met, Yan pointed at Wu Qi and yelled, "Pretty boy, what did you do to Nana? I'm going to kill you!"

Xie Yue quickly pulled him back and shouted, "Yan, you mustn't be rude to the Elder! Apologize immediately!" (End of Chapter)
