But this time, Yan did nothing.

Chapter 11 Reporting to Bibi Dong

Seeing this, Xie Yue quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Nana, don't blame Yan. Yan must have his reasons for doing this. If it were me, I wouldn't easily reveal my trump card in front of others either."

"But we're best friends!"

Hu Liena was still somewhat dissatisfied.

In her view, friends should be able to talk about anything and have no secrets.

"Alright, now you know everything, don't you? If it weren't for Yan, we might not have been able to escape from that pack of wolves."

After Xie Yue finished speaking, she patted Yan on the shoulder, seemingly indicating that he shouldn't mind his sister's unreasonable behavior.

Yan grinned; of course he didn't mind.

"The fewer people who know I have an external soul bone, the better, so you two keep it a secret for me for now."

"Don't worry, we won't say anything. However, we definitely can't keep it from the Pope and the two elders."

"Ok, I know."

The three then set up their tent, intending to spend the night there and return to Wuhun City the next day.

It's quiet at night.

Recalling what had happened during this period, Hu Liena tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

She simply couldn't understand why Yan had changed so much.

Not only did his attitude towards her change, but his strength also improved significantly.

He was still the same Yan as before, but she felt like he had become a completely different person.

The next day, the three left Death Valley.

A few days later, the familiar walls of Wuhun City came into view, and the three of them couldn't help but smile with relief.

They walked side by side through the city gate and into this vibrant and passionate city.

The three of them went together to the Papal Palace to report back to Bibidon.

As Yan walked step by step up the marble steps leading to the Papal Palace, he could feel the solemnity and reverence emanating from all directions.

That magnificent, golden building, towering in the center of Wuhun City, resembled an insurmountable mountain, symbolizing the Pope's majesty and power.

As soon as the three of them reached the large square in front of the Papal Palace, they saw two figures walking out of the palace's gates.

Although they were far apart, Yan recognized them at a glance as Bibi Dong's two trusted confidants, Elder Ju Yueguan and Elder Gui Mei.

Yue Guan was as alluring and captivating as ever. His long, silky hair fell naturally over his shoulders, swaying gently with his steps.

His face was like a finely sculpted porcelain piece, delicate and fair, with a unique light shining in his eyes, as if he could see through people's hearts.

Her slender figure and every movement exuded innate elegance.

His gorgeous clothes were embroidered with exquisite chrysanthemum patterns, which complemented his elegant temperament, which was as refined as a chrysanthemum.

Elder Ghost stands in stark contrast to Elder Chrysanthemum.

His face was blurred, and his figure was elusive, giving him a mysterious and elusive feeling. His black robe was as deep as the night sky, as if it could devour all light.

The three quickly stepped forward and bowed to the two elders.

"Hello, two elders."

Their voices were unified and full of respect.

Elder Ju smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling with tenderness.

"You three are back. The Pope is waiting inside the palace. Come in quickly."

"it is good."

The three of them answered in unison.

As Yan looked up, he met Elder Ju's gaze.

From Elder Ju's eyes, he keenly sensed that Elder Ju seemed to already know that he possessed an external soul bone.

The three of them then walked together toward the entrance of the Papal Palace.

Upon entering the Papal Palace, a magnificent golden hall comes into view, with glittering stars embedded in the dome, as if the night sky has been inverted inside the room.

In stark contrast to this magnificent scene, the main hall was empty and desolate.

The light was dim, and dappled light and shadows were cast through the high windows, adding a touch of mystery to the entire hall.

The marble floor was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a cold light that sent chills down one's spine.

In the spacious and cold hall, a stunningly beautiful woman with a noble air sat high on the papal throne.

Her eyes were deep and bright, as if they could see through all appearances and reach the heart.

That was Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

"See His Majesty the Pope."

The three of them bowed to Bibi Dong together.

A smile appeared on Bibi Dong's noble face, as warm and kind as the spring sun.

"You're back, that's good. It seems you've completed your mission ahead of schedule."

Her voice was soft yet powerful, as if it possessed an invisible strength.

Xie Yue, as their representative, stepped forward and gave a detailed report on their experiences and gains in Death Valley.

When he mentioned that Yan had obtained an external soul bone, Bibi Dong's eyes lit up slightly, but she quickly regained her composure, as if she already knew everything.

After listening to Xie Yue's report, Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction.

“You did a great job and did not disappoint me.”

As Bibi Dong spoke, she turned her gaze to Yan.

"Yan, you're quite lucky. You actually obtained an external soul bone. Let me see what it looks like."

As soon as Bibi Dong finished speaking, Xie Yue and Hu Liena tactfully stepped aside, leaving Yan room to unleash his Fiery Wings.

Yan took a deep breath, and with the surge of his inner thoughts, the fiery red wings on his back suddenly unfolded, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, with a magnificent aura.

Each of his wings was three meters long, and he looked strong and powerful, as if he had become one with them.

Every feather on his wings seemed to be burning with flames, showcasing his extraordinary power.

Bibi Dong carefully examined Yan's wings, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.

"Hmm, your external soul bone is really good. You should put it away quickly."

"Yes."

Yan quickly folded its wings.

Whether releasing or withdrawing, Yan acted with ease and confidence, which impressed Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong also possesses an external soul bone, which is also wings.

Unlike Yan, it had six wings, each one small and thin as a cicada's wing, and was called the "Six-Winged Purple Light Wings".

She spent a lot of effort and time getting used to those six wings back then.

Now it seems that Yan has done even better than she did back then.

She guessed in her heart that it might be because Yan had a better physique, so he was able to integrate more quickly.

"Yan, this external soul bone can help you improve your strength, so you should make good use of it. But don't become arrogant and complacent just because you have it. You should know that it is a double-edged sword and can also bring you trouble. So, before you are able to protect yourself, never show it off to others."

"Yes, I understand."

Bibi Dong nodded slightly and said softly:

"You and Xie Yue can go down first, Nana stays here."

"Yes."

Afterwards, Yan and Xie Yue left the Papal Palace together.

Chapter 12 Accepting the Challenge of Evil Moon

As Yan stepped out of the papal palace, golden sunlight bathed him, and he finally let out a long sigh of relief.

The towering, imposing Papal Palace, and Pope Bibidon sitting atop it with a cold and arrogant expression, exuded an aura of majesty that gave people an indescribable sense of oppression.

Only after stepping out of the Papal Palace did Yan finally relax completely.

Xie Yue turned his head, his gaze passing through the square in front of the Papal Palace and landing far in the direction of the Spirit Hall Academy.
