Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 202 Qian Renxue Ascends the Throne, The Taste of Being an Empress

A few days later, Emperor Xueye announced to the world that he had officially passed the throne to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

Thus, the Heavenly Dou Empire finally welcomed a new emperor and a Grand Marshal who was like a pillar of strength for the nation.

As the grand coronation ceremony came to an end, Qian Renxue could not contain her excitement and hurriedly pulled Lin Mu back to her palace, without even having time to change back into women's clothing.

"Lin Mu, I never thought that my years of planning would be no match for your few days of trickery."

Inside the palace, Qian Renxue looked at Lin Mu, who had a calm expression, her eyes filled with almost overflowing admiration, but also mixed with a trace of worry.

According to the previous agreement, as long as Lin Mu helps her seize the Heaven Dou Empire, he will no longer need to stay by her side.

The thought of this instantly dispelled the joy of her wish being fulfilled, replaced by a sense of panic. She worried that Lin Mu would leave without saying goodbye like last time.

"This is hardly a trick; it's just an open scheme."

Faced with Qian Renxue's admiration, Lin Mu shook his head slightly and said calmly, "Although the Tiandou Empire is stable now, it is actually beset by internal and external troubles. The Spirit Hall is growing stronger every day, and Emperor Xueye is seriously ill."

"The reason he didn't pass the throne to you was simply because he had reservations. But I just happened to break this deadlock. As long as he doesn't discover your true identity, he will definitely pass the throne to you."

Hearing Lin Mu's detailed explanation, Qian Renxue suddenly realized that she had never expected that the throne she had been plotting for so many years would be accomplished so easily.

For a moment, Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration, and she became increasingly infatuated with the man before her.

"Lin Mu, I told you, as long as you help me seize the Heaven Dou Empire, I'll do anything you ask. Now I'll repay you."

Before she finished speaking, Qian Renxue suddenly pounced on Lin Mu. She was still wearing her dragon robe, which, combined with her noble and domineering temperament, made her no different from an empress.

Faced with Qian Renxue's sudden attack, Lin Mu did not dodge, but instead took the initiative.

"If that's the case, then don't blame me for deceiving the emperor!"

"Lin Mu, how dare you defy your superior! I will never forgive you. Tomorrow I will punish you for deceiving the emperor. Please be lenient—"

"Tsk, I never expected His Majesty to have such a fetish."

Wuhun City.

After rescuing Hu Liena from the City of Slaughter, Bibi Dong and the others quickly returned to the Papal Palace.

To their utter surprise, before they even returned to the Papal Palace, they heard some earth-shattering news: Emperor Xue Ye had passed the throne to Xue Qinghe!
In addition, Lin Mu also openly served the Heaven Dou Empire.

Although she knew that Xue Qinghe was actually Qian Renxue in disguise, Bibi Dong was not happy at all; instead, her face was so gloomy it could drip water.

On the one hand, the mother and daughter are not on good terms, and even have irreconcilable conflicts.

On the other hand, Lin Mu repeatedly hindered her and damaged her relationship with Xiao Gang, leaving no room for reconciliation.

If she wanted to settle scores with Lin Mu, Qian Renxue would definitely side with Lin Mu.

Therefore, it is clear that Qian Renxue becoming the ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire would only bring her harm.

Moreover, there's that old bastard Qian Daoliu. If she becomes Qian Renxue's enemy, Qian Daoliu will most likely take away her power as pope.

At that time, the Spirit Hall, which she had painstakingly built up over many years, would become the wedding dress for Lin Mu and Qian Renxue.

"No! Absolutely not!"

The thought of that possibility caused Bibi Dong's jade-like hand holding the scepter to tense instantly, and a cold glint flashed in her beautiful eyes.

With things having come to this, she had no choice but to launch the Soul Hunting Operation ahead of schedule, first eliminating the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and then establishing the Martial Soul Empire in one fell swoop.

Only by establishing her own Martial Soul Empire could she have her own core group and no longer worry about being restricted by Qian Daoliu. Suddenly, Bibi Dong glanced at Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo beside her, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Fortunately, she had the foresight to win over Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo in time. Not only were they loyal to her, but their soul power had also broken through to level 96, making them top-tier combatants.

"Moon Pass, Ghostly Appearance, I've decided to launch Operation Soul Hunting."

Upon hearing the words "Soul Hunting Operation," Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were startled. They exchanged a glance and then said in unison:
"Your subordinate will obey His Holiness the Pope's arrangements."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction on her face.

With Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo as her right-hand men, she has indeed had a lot less to worry about. Now that the Soul Hunting Operation is about to begin, the two of them are of paramount importance.

After a moment, she parted her red lips slightly and said in a very generous manner, "The soul bones that were plundered from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in this Soul Hunting Operation will be chosen by the two of you first."

Upon hearing this reward, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged bewildered glances. Was this just empty promises?
Bibi Dong could speak so confidently about something that was still far from being settled, which shows that she was not only stingy with her subordinates, but also had a very thick skin.

It's worth noting that even though Hu Liena lost the match, she still obtained a head spirit bone.

And those who served Bibi Dong had to wait until two sects were destroyed before they could choose soul bones from the spoils of war.

Do they even deserve to serve such bosses?

Compared to Lin Mu, Bibi Dong is practically nothing.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Holiness the Pope."

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo appeared respectful on the surface, but in their hearts they had already decided to tell Lin Mu about this.

On the other hand, after a few days of in-depth conversations with the newly crowned empress, Lin Mu left the palace, supporting his aching back.

Just as Lin Mu was about to head to the Star Dou Great Forest, two figures suddenly flew in from a distance and landed in front of him. They were Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

"Your Majesty, I have something very important to tell you," Chrysanthemum Douluo said with utmost respect.

Seeing the two of them making such a fuss, Lin Mu suddenly became interested and said indifferently, "Tell me, what kind of trouble is Bibi Dong up to this time?"

"Your Majesty, Bibi Dong has decided to launch the Soul Hunting Operation, which is to cleanse the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing the words "Operation Soul Hunt," Lin Mu's expression instantly turned serious; he hadn't expected it to be so much earlier than anticipated.

Perhaps it was because Qian Renxue's ascension to the throne that provoked Bibi Dong, leading her to take a risky move.

Lin Mu had no intention of interfering in the Soul Hunting Operation, since he had almost no connection with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School or the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan.

However, for the sake of the Royal Fighting Team, he could remind the two sects to strengthen their defenses or evacuate in advance.

In addition, Lin Mu also planned to inform Qian Renxue and see what her decision would be.

Since Bibi Dong has launched the Soul Hunting Operation, it means that she has already planned to establish a Martial Soul Empire.

Given Bibi Dong's madwoman personality, she will inevitably take action against the Heaven Dou Empire, thus igniting the conflict between mother and daughter.

"Your Majesty, Yu Tianheng and Ning Rongrong are your disciples. Should we show them mercy? Or should we betray Bibi Dong?"

When he said the last half of the sentence, Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes suddenly turned cold, clearly indicating that he had harbored deep resentment towards Bibi Dong.
