Douluo Continent: From Internal Martial Arts to the Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 482 The Aftermath of the Spirit Hall

One yellow, two purple, and three black—six soul rings appeared on Qian Renxue's body, her jet-black angel wings seemingly devouring all the light around her.

The corrupted soul power amplified the power of the Angelic Holy Sword, and the cold light in his eyes and the chilling glint of the sword tip reflected each other, revealing his undisguised killing intent.

"Die!" Qian Renxue shouted coldly, her wings spread out to the maximum, and the Angelic Holy Sword was empowered by her fallen soul power, heading straight for Bibi Dong's throat.

Bibi Dong struggled to sit up, trying to dodge, but she was too badly injured to do so.

"Alas!" Just as the tragedy of mother and son killing each other was about to unfold, a complex sigh rang out softly.

A brilliant golden light appeared out of thin air and condensed into a membrane of light in front of Bibi Dong's neck, blocking Qian Renxue's attack filled with resentment and venom.

The sword tip collided with the light membrane, leaving the latter unmoved, while the sword tip, despite its powerful burst of energy, could no longer advance even an inch.

With three pairs of wings unfurled, echoing the great sun in the sky, Qian Daoliu tore through space and appeared beside Qian Renxue, raising his hand to stop the sword tip from turning.

"Grandpa, why!" The voice was hysterical and full of incomprehension. Two lines of bloody tears flowed down from his dark eyes, adding a heart-wrenching and tragic beauty to his already stunning face.

"Xiaoxue, she is still your mother." Qian Daoliu sighed softly, his voice full of exhaustion.

"Mother? Did she ever treat me as her daughter?" Qian Renxue's lips curled into a bitter smile as the Angelic Holy Sword in her hand silently disintegrated. She staggered backward, nearly falling.

Qian Daoliu glanced at Bibi Dong, who was somewhat stunned, his eyes filled with a deep-seated indifference: "Xiao Xue, let her off the hook for now. Go back and think it over carefully. If you are truly disappointed in her, then your grandfather will personally take care of her for you."

Qian Daoliu may not be a perfect worshipper, but his love and care for Qian Renxue is genuine. No matter what, he would never allow his granddaughter to commit the heinous crime of matricide.

rustling...

Hu Liena crawled out of the collapsed ruins, somewhat dazed, her body covered in several wounds, but she paid no heed. Gazing at the devastated Papal Palace, her heart was filled only with the woman who had once given her motherly warmth.

"Is that Sister Xue? What's she doing there?" Even though Qian Renxue's temperament and appearance had changed considerably after she was possessed by a martial soul, Hu Liena still recognized her at a glance.

With her martial spirit possessing her, a huge fox tail appeared behind her. Hu Liena channeled her soul power into her legs and quickly ran towards Qian Renxue's location, which was the ruins of the collapsed Papal Palace.

"Why?" Qian Renxue took a deep breath, barely suppressing the murderous intent surging in her heart, and looked directly at Bibi Dong, who had remained silent throughout.

"You ask me why?" Bibi Dong couldn't help but chuckle, blood dripping down her chin and onto her tattered robes, making her look even more disheveled.

"Why don't you ask me what your father did to me?" Her eyes were completely swallowed by the purplish-black light as she stared directly into Qian Renxue's dark eyes, without the slightest hesitation or guilt.

Hu Liena, who had just taken a step forward, suddenly slowed down, her expression blank, her gaze shifting back and forth between Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, wondering if she had overheard something she shouldn't have.

"He is him, and I am me. I believe I have never done anything to wrong you, yet you still attacked Tang Shan." Qian Renxue's eyes flickered slightly, but quickly returned to their cold calm.

Qian Daoliu, standing to the side, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had already told Qian Renxue part of the truth about what happened back then; otherwise, the situation today would have been unmanageable. However, Qian Daoliu overlooked one thing: he only told Qian Renxue the fragmented past; the real bombshell had never been mentioned.

Feeling the rough texture of the ruins and dust beneath her hands, Bibi Dong exerted force with her palms, struggling to sit up completely, ignoring the secondary damage this action caused to her internal organs, and fully revealing the madness in her bones.

“I understand what you mean. You still don’t understand why I’m targeting you. The answer is simple—I resent you, I’m jealous!”

His emotions were boiling intensely, and his wounds reopened: "If it weren't for that beast's interference, I would have been Xiao Gang's woman long ago! If it weren't for the appearance of the master, I would have helped Yu Xiao Gang reach the pinnacle of the continent! What right do you have to have your beloved by your side? I will destroy all of this and sever all possibilities between you and him!"

"Madwoman!" Qian Renxue's body trembled slightly as the anger she had just suppressed reignited. If Qian Daoliu hadn't intervened, she would have already swung her sword and torn Bibi Dong to pieces.

"Unfortunately, that kid's willpower far exceeded my expectations, causing all my plans to fail. If I had successfully controlled him back then and given birth to his child, do you think there would still be the slightest possibility between you two?" Bibi Dong glanced at the devastated ruins, a strange smile curling at the corner of her lips. "You probably don't know, do you? Deep within the Papal Palace, there is a secret chamber. It was there that your father defiled me, where I gave birth to you, where I devoured your biological father, and it was also there that I planned to take action against Tang Shan."

The moment Bibi Dong mentioned the secret chamber of the Papal Palace, Qian Daoliu sensed something was wrong, but before he could stop her, Bibi Dong had already revealed all the secrets.

"What did you say?" Qian Renxue froze on the spot, the raging anger in her heart was extinguished as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her head, and it vanished completely.

Bibi Dong paused briefly, then after a moment's thought, she suddenly understood. She looked at Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue with a mocking expression: "So you've never told her? Your father didn't die at Tang Hao's hands, nor did he succumb to his injuries. He was devoured alive by me!"

It was as if struck by lightning! The faint pity and guilt that had arisen from learning of Bibi Dong's tragic fate vanished completely, leaving only endless confusion and bewilderment.

"Sigh." Qian Daoliu let out another long sigh, not stopping Bibi Dong from revealing the whole truth. Now, all the secrets could no longer be concealed.

Her biological father defiled her biological mother, her biological mother deliberately plotted against Tangshan, and her biological mother devoured her biological father. In a short moment, countless pieces of information that overturned her understanding flooded her mind. Overwhelmed by several emotional ups and downs and the complete collapse and reshaping of her preconceived notions, Qian Renxue could no longer withstand this extreme mental trauma. Her vision suddenly went black, and she fell backward.

"Xiaoxue!" Qian Daoliu's expression changed. He reached out and caught the falling Qian Renxue. His cold gaze swept over Bibi Dong, and his soul power enveloped his granddaughter in his arms. He soared into the air and sped towards the Hall of Worship, leaving behind only a chilling command: "All of you, escort the Pope back with me immediately!"

Qianjun and Jiangmo, the two retainers, appeared beside Bibi Dong and ruthlessly lifted her up. Bibi Dong did not resist at all; or rather, she was so badly injured that she had no strength to resist.

With his hands behind his back, Golden Crocodile Douluo confirmed Bibi Dong's condition and then solemnly instructed Qianjun and Jiangmo, "Take her with you and follow the Grand Elder."

The two retainers nodded slightly, and in a flash, they disappeared from the spot. Spots of scarlet blood fell with the wind, the bloodstains left by dragging the heavily injured Bibi Dong, they never cared about Bibi Dong's injuries in the slightest.

P.S.: Something came up yesterday, sorry! There's more to come today, but it might be a little late.

Chapter 483 Gu Yue Remains Silent

After watching Qian Daoliu and the others leave, Golden Crocodile Douluo turned to look at the somewhat dazed Hu Liena, his voice devoid of any warmth: "Little girl, you'd better watch yourself." With that, he didn't linger, his figure flashing as he disappeared into the ruins of the collapsed Papal Palace. Someone would naturally take care of things here later.

Hu Liena felt lost and confused. She suddenly had a very bad feeling: she would probably never see the teacher who brought her motherly warmth again, and her sister Xue, whom she had known for a short time but had become a close friend, would become a stranger in the future.

……

Crackling sounds!

The campfire burned, illuminating the dim night. Tang Hao waved his sleeve, and two figures fell to the ground.

She rolled on the ground and it took her a while to regain her balance and sit up. Xiao Wu looked at the one-armed middle-aged man with some apprehension, her body tense to the extreme.

"Go, go back to where you belong." Holding a piece of firewood, he fiddled with the burning campfire. The firelight cast shadows on Tang Hao's resolute face, and no one knew what he was thinking or what his expression was like at that moment.

Xiao Wu was overjoyed and turned to leave, but when she saw Tang San, who was in a deep coma, she stopped in her tracks: "Uncle, Tang San and I..."

"He hasn't grown up yet and can't protect you. You should leave. When he grows up, I'll send him to find you in the Star Dou Great Forest." His voice was hoarse and low, and Tang Hao's back slumped slightly involuntarily.

"You're not stopping me from being with Third Brother!" Xiao Wu was somewhat surprised, looking curiously at the Haotian Douluo hidden in the black robe.

"Of course I've thought about this, but who can blame me for being so similar to him? We both fell in love with a 100,000-year-old soul beast." Tang Hao looked at the unconscious Tang San with a complicated expression.

"You mean Third Brother's mother was also a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form?" Xiao Wu asked, somewhat surprised.

Tang Hao nodded: "Xiao San's martial soul is not ordinary Blue Silver Grass, but the royal Blue Silver Emperor among Blue Silver Grass, and her mother is the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor in human form."

Xiao Wu remained silent for a while, then looked at her lover with lingering reluctance, took off the rabbit ear hair clip from her head, and placed it in the unconscious Tang San's hand. Her black hair spread out and fluttered in the wind.

Without further hesitation, she activated her martial spirit and quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

After removing his cloak, the warmth in Tang Hao's eyes had vanished, leaving only indifference and scrutiny.

"Little rabbit, I hope you won't disappoint me. I'm really looking forward to seeing if you have another 100,000-year-old soul beast behind you."

If Tang San were truly his son, Tang Hao would certainly bless them; unfortunately, Tang San is not.

Tang Hao let Xiao Wu go not because of some nonsense about love, but to repay the Clear Sky Sect. He was a sinner of the Clear Sky Sect, and only a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone could fill the shame in his heart and make up for the losses his mistakes had caused the Clear Sky Sect.

"Uh, where am I?" A slightly hoarse voice pulled Tang Hao back from his wandering thoughts. He looked at the awakened Tang San with a blank expression.

"Father, where is Xiaowu?"

"You should know her identity now. Do you still want to be with her?"

"Xiao Wu is the only one in my life, and I will never regret it until I die."

"Alright, there are some things I should tell you, about your mother and the Haotian Sect. But you must pass my test first. If you are strong enough, I will allow you to go find that girl."

The long journey begins. Tang San had just awakened when Tang Hao took him over mountains and valleys, heading towards an unknown journey.

……

"That's how it happened. For some reason, the teacher attacked the Papal Palace and then disappeared without a trace." Zhu Zhuyun frowned, her eyes filled with deep worry.

The other Tian Dou students also looked very solemn. Tang San's disappearance seemed to weigh heavily on their chests, and the atmosphere in the group was extremely oppressive.

"Senior Golden Crocodile." Dugu Bo, who had been standing to the side without saying a word, raised an eyebrow and respectfully greeted the suddenly appearing Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded, then turned to look at the group of students from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, his expression softening slightly: "You don't need to worry, Tang Shan is fine. He was taken away by Gu Yue. You should have heard that dragon roar earlier, right? That was the dragon roar of Gu Yue's Martial Soul True Form."

"I'm even more worried now that Gu Yue has taken me away." Zhu Zhuyun thought to herself, but she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dugu Bo, you should leave on their behalf first," Golden Crocodile Douluo said in a deep voice, looking at the exceptionally respectful Poison Douluo.

"Senior, rest assured, but His Highness the Crown Prince..." Dugu Bo hesitated. He had brought the Crown Prince of Tiandou out, but failed to bring him back. He couldn't explain this to Emperor Xueye.

"I'm here, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Xue Qinghe walked out from around the corner. Zhu Zhuyun raised an eyebrow. She was so familiar with Qian Renxue that she noticed his flaws almost the instant he appeared.

"Xiaoxue is in a bit of trouble. He is a Soul Saint from our Spirit Hall who is skilled in disguise." The Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice transmission rang in Zhu Zhuyun and Dugu Bo's ears, dispelling their doubts.

With Dugu Bo, the strongest member of the team, and Zhu Zhuyun, the nominal Crown Princess, endorsing him, no one would doubt Xue Qinghe's true identity.

Watching the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team depart, Golden Crocodile Douluo turned and flew towards the Hall of Worship, where two major troubles awaited the old men to resolve.

……

The core of the Star Dou Great Forest is a perilous place teeming with life. The vast Lake of Life is like a giant piece of jade, inlaid in the center of this gathering place for soul beasts.

The three-eyed golden lion rolled around on the grass, sometimes running to the Lake of Life to frolic, quite carefree.

The three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff, a dedicated bodyguard, lay on the shore of the Lake of Life, its three enormous heads drooping naturally, its eyelids drooping, seemingly half-asleep.

Xiong Jun transformed into a muscular giant as tall as a pagoda, with a bonfire burning in front of him. He skewered huge meat skewers and carefully grilled them, the aroma of meat spreading throughout the forbidden area for Soul Masters.

hum!

A sudden spatial fluctuation shattered the tranquility of this precious land. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw Gu Yue carrying a huge water ball as she walked out of the spatial passage.

"I'm fine here, you can all continue as usual." These words stopped the restless beasts. Gu Yue casually tore open her special space for healing.

"Di Tian, ​​is there a person inside that water sphere?" Bi Ji asked curiously as she watched Gu Yue walk into the alternate dimension at the bottom of the Lake of Life.

"Our lord has his own plans; we will simply follow his orders," Di Tian replied with his usual cautiousness.

……

Layer upon layer of trees, clouds floating in the sky, and a blazing sun—if it weren't for the limited space itself, one might think they had entered another world.

Within the space, an extremely dense life force condensed into a thin layer of mist. Even ordinary people who came here would have their lifespan increased by several years, and their old injuries and chronic illnesses would be completely cleansed and healed.

The space is only a few square kilometers in size, but the most eye-catching thing is an irregularly shaped boulder, several meters in size, located in the very center of the space.

Gu Yue looked at the place where he was recuperating and nodded in satisfaction. The water ball in his hand naturally expanded, revealing Tang Shan's naked body.

After using the Dharma Image Heaven and Earth technique, how could the clothes remain unharmed? Gu Yue didn't bother to send Tang Shan a set of clothes through the space; instead, she simply wrapped them in a water ball, which would help suppress the evil fire.

Splash!

The water balloon burst, nourishing the earth and fragrant grass. The glistening dewdrops sparkled in the sunlight, becoming even more translucent and captivating.

"Gu Yue, how are you? I can't hold on much longer." Tang Shan sat cross-legged on the ground, using both his willpower and mental strength to suppress the restlessness within his body.

If I could control my subconscious, and grasp the consciousness of my cells, I could eat whale gel like candy and be fine.

His consciousness wavered for an extremely brief moment, and the desire that had just been suppressed within him surged back up, startling Tang Shan so much that he quickly tried to calm himself down.

"Almost there, almost there. Let me get ready." Gu Yue replied with a light laugh, diverting some of her mental energy to monitor the situation in Tangshan, while she herself walked unhurriedly to the emerald-colored boulder.
