Douluo Continent: Ning Rongrong? Even a dog wouldn't chase her.

"Number One! Damn it! Gu Yi! You're a demon!"

Seeing Number One die right in front of him, Number Three completely broke down.

His fear of Gu Yi had reached its peak at this moment. In his eyes, Gu Yi was no different from the Grim Reaper.

"Seventh Soul Skill! Martial Soul... Ah!"

Before Number Three could prepare to retaliate, Gu Yi summoned several bone spikes from the ground, which pierced through Number Three's hands and feet.

The excruciating pain instantly interrupted Number Three's soul skill. He was now like a puppet on a string, with every move under Gu Yi's control.

"Alright, stop yelling. You should rest in peace now."

Gu Yi rubbed his slightly sore ears and threw the Asura Blood Sword in his hand again, hitting the bullseye perfectly!

"The sixth divine test has been passed. Gu Yi's soul power has increased by three levels and his affinity with the Asura God has increased by 5%."

"The Seventh Divine Test: [Blood Sword Awakening] Completely control the Asura Blood Sword and obtain the Blood Sword."

Approved.

"Rewards for completing the assessment: Soul Power increases by two levels, one God-given Soul Ring, and Asura God Affinity increases by 10%."

As the Asura Blood Sword devoured the soul of the last Soul Douluo, the deep voice from before rang out again.

At that moment, the previously quiet Asura Blood Sword suddenly underwent a tremendous change.

A beam of red light shot straight into the sky from its sword, and a terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire Endless Bone Domain.

"Killing intent! Such terrifying killing intent!"

Gu Yi was all too familiar with this feeling, yet it was also somewhat different.

The killing intent emanating from the Asura Blood Sword at this moment is even more terrifying than what Gu Yi experienced during the Fifth Divine Trial.

Furthermore, Gu Yi suffered such a great impact just by being on the edge; if he were to walk to the center and draw his sword, what would happen?

"Whoo~"

"Anyway, there's no rush, let's go back first and talk about it later."

Gu Yi glanced at the Asura Blood Sword from afar, let out a long breath, and then left the Endless Bone Domain.

At this moment, Gu Rong had also arrived at Gu Yi's room and was sitting on a large bed waiting for him.

"All done? What's next?"

When Gu Rong sensed the presence of the Dead Servants, he knew that someone had arrived, but he was not in a hurry, not wanting to alert Gu Yi and affect his plans.

That's why the ancient banyan tree hadn't appeared earlier.

"Okay, it's all settled. Let's head straight back to the Spirit Hall. We've pretty much got a feel for the strength of the Star Luo Empire."

"Next, we'll see what Davis and his team do."

"As I expected, they would gamble with us and have a decisive battle!"

Gu Yi looked around as he replied.

Gu Yi guessed that since the Star Luo royal family had already obtained the help of the Haotian Sect, they would never give up easily.

Although they will not take the initiative to fight, they will not stand idly by and watch their territory be invaded if the Spirit Hall attacks.

"Then let's go."

After saying that, Gu Rong took Gu Yi and left the Star Luo Empire.

……

Two days later, in Wuhun City, at the Papal Palace.

"Is this the attitude of the Star Luo Empire?"

"They don't really think that just because there's a Haotian Sect, we won't dare to touch them, do they?"

"Fight! We must fight! I refuse to believe that our Spirit Hall would be afraid of a mere Star Luo Empire!"

After hearing the report brought back by Gu Yi and Gu Rong, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo immediately exploded.

In their eyes, sending Guyi there was giving them an opportunity, not a chance to negotiate.

But the Star Luo Empire is so ungrateful, what else is there to think about?

Fight! We absolutely must fight!

"Gentlemen, let's hear what His Holiness the Pope has to say first."

Dugu Bo didn't care much. He only listened to Gu Yi. He would only fight if Gu Yi told him to!

"My thoughts?"

In the main seat, Bibi Dong rested her cheek on one hand, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she were deep in thought.

Given the current situation, fighting is inevitable, but the key question is how to fight and what to fight.

When the time comes, will they prioritize targeting the Haotian Sect, or will they directly crush the Xingluo Empire?

Moreover, Bibi Dong's biggest worry right now is Tang Hao and Tang Xiao.

To be honest, she can't beat these two guys. As things stand, she probably couldn't even withstand one of Tang Hao's explosive rings.

"His Holiness the Pope?"

Suddenly, a voice interrupted Bibi Dong's thoughts. It was Juhua Guan who was worried because Bibi Dong hadn't spoken.

"Oh! Sorry, I seemed to be lost in thought for a moment."

"We will definitely fight, but before that, I still need to go to the Douluo Hall."

"Without enough strong individuals, we would be at a significant disadvantage in battle."

"Alright, Gu Yi, come with me."

Chapter 195 Borrowing People

"Me... me?"

Gu Yi pointed to himself with some surprise and asked.

"Yes, it's you. Come with me."

"The meeting is dismissed!"

As she spoke, Bibi Dong led Gu Yi out of the council hall.

Although he had some doubts, Gu Yi remained unusually quiet on the way to the Douluo Hall.

"What? Aren't you curious why I called you along?"

Bibi Dong asked as she walked.

"Since Your Holiness has invited me to join you, there must be a reason for it. I will not presume to do so."

"If you want to tell me, you will naturally tell me."

Gu Yi remained calm, pretending to be a very obedient subordinate.

"Heh~ Is that so?"

"The reason is actually quite simple: we just want you to act as a buffer."

"I know you seem to have a good relationship with Qian Renxue, don't you?"

Bibi Dong glanced at Gu Yi with a half-smile, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

"I didn't expect you to know about this."

"But I can't say we have a good relationship. We've just met a few times and exchanged a few words back at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"At the time, she also wanted to win over the Spirit Hall, but I was still in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Gu Yi knew that Bibi Dong was testing him.

There's absolutely no way she'd know about his deal with Qian Renxue and their meeting.

If he were to expose himself at this moment, Bibi Dong might turn on him immediately.

"Tiandou Royal Academy?"

"Did you meet a year ago?"

Bibi Dong didn't continue speaking; she turned her head, as if deep in thought.

"Naturally, that's when I met Dugu Bo."

Gu Yi's words were a mixture of truth and falsehood, and his main strategy was to use deception and ambiguity.

"I see. That's alright. Even if you two aren't particularly close, you should be able to help me out this time."

After saying that, Bibi Dong quickened her pace and didn't say anything more.

Gu Yi followed closely behind her, but he did not let his guard down.

He needed to find out who had leaked the fact that he and Qian Renxue had a good relationship.

"At the time, only a handful of people knew about my deal with Qian Renxue. Grandpa and Zhu Qing would never betray me."

'Qian Renxue wouldn't be foolish enough to confront Bibi Dong.'

'Then all that's left is... Hu Liena.'

Hu Liena had once seen herself talking to Qian Renxue in the Soul Arena, although at the time she did not know that Xue Qinghe was Qian Renxue.

But now that Qian Renxue's identity is known to everyone, Hu Liena must have realized this as well.

She has always stood on Bibi Dong's side, while Qian Renxue is undoubtedly on the side of the Offering Hall.

So, Hu Liena was worried that I was getting too close to Qian Renxue and would be turned against me, which is why she mentioned it to Bibi Dong?

Of course, all of this is just Gu Yi's own speculation. He will only know the specifics after he conducts a thorough investigation.

Time flies, and just as Gu Yi was still immersed in his own inner world, the two had already arrived at the Douluo Hall.

"Huh? Why are you here?"

From the main seat, Qian Daoliu looked down at Gu Yi and the other person.
