Li Qing said, "All the Title Douluo of Spirit Hall, including your teacher, have been exterminated by me, but the others have been assimilated, including Xie Yue and Yan."
Hu Liena fell silent immediately.
Although she had already guessed this possibility, it was a different feeling when it was truly confirmed, as she had grown up in Spirit Hall since childhood.
After her Spirit awakened at the age of six, she became Bibi Dong's disciple, and the latter was like both a teacher and a mother to her.
Bibi Dong was dead, and her enemy was right before her eyes, yet she was powerless to seek revenge, and even had to rely on him to survive. The complex emotions left her at a loss for a moment.
Li Qing asked, "Do you want revenge?"
Hu Liena said nothing.
Was this a matter of wanting or not wanting? Even if she cultivated for another hundred years, it was probably impossible, right?
Li Qing continued, "If you want revenge, I suggest you die in Slaughter City. It's better than making things difficult for Xie Yue and the others when you leave."
Hu Liena: "..."
"Greetings, Supreme Pontiff!"
Hu Liena stood up and bowed, her deep cleavage clearly visible to Li Qing.
Since revenge was hopeless, she naturally had to strive to live.
Li Qing nodded, "Spirit Hall is a thing of the past. There is no longer any Supreme Pontiff in this World; there is only the Soul Master Association President."
Hu Liena bowed again, "Greetings, President."
Li Qing nodded, "Since you have made your choice, then come with me when we leave later. I hope you won't do anything foolish that harms yourself or others."
Hu Liena quickly said, "Your subordinate wouldn't dare!"
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
Returning to his residence, Tang San smashed everything movable in the room to smithereens, the rage in his heart seemingly about to materialize into flames.
He had only asked one question, why was he so aggressive?
And also.
Didn't that dog Li Qing have a grudge against Spirit Hall? Why did he save Hu Liena?
Could it be...
He was attracted to Hu Liena's appearance?
It wasn't impossible, after all, that dog had never lacked women by his side.
If he could be attracted to Hu Liena, what about the even more beautiful Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong? Could that dog have turned enemies into friends with Spirit Hall because of his lust?
If so, how could he avenge his father?
Damn it!
Compared to the native Spirit Masters, I clearly have all sorts of advantages.
Mysterious Heaven Skill, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Purple Demon Eye, Controlling Crane Catching Dragon, Hidden Weapons Hundred Solutions, and so on—which one wasn't a treasure that native Spirit Masters could only dream of?
Why was I left so far behind by Li Qing?
Yu Xiaogang—
That's right, it was all that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang.
If it weren't for him, I should have been able to become friends with Li Qing. As long as I could trick Li Qing's secrets, what if he was a God reincarnated?
What would he use to fight me?
Damn Yu Xiaogang.
It's a good thing you're already dead, otherwise I would have made you experience what it means to wish for death but be unable to die.
"Let's go!"
After Bo Saixi and Gu Yuena returned, Li Qing didn't ask much; Bo Saixi's swollen eyes were enough to explain everything.
Gu Yuena waved her hand, opening a spatial portal.
The four stepped into it, reappearing in Spirit City. After dropping off Hu Liena, Gu Yuena once again took Li Qing and Bo Saixi directly to Sea God Island.
Looking at the gradually recovering void, Hu Liena remained in a daze for a long time.
She knew how far Slaughter City was from Spirit City, but she didn't expect to return to Spirit City from Slaughter City in the blink of an eye.
This was simply too outrageous, wasn't it?
And how powerful must that woman be who could accomplish this?
In the past, Li Qing had made her feel powerless, even despair, but at least she could still see his back. Now, she didn't even have the qualifications to look up to him.
She had only entered Slaughter City for just over a year, so why did she feel like things had changed so much?
Sea God Island.
After Li Qing and the other two returned, Bo Saixi, as if losing her soul, returned to the Sea God Temple. After descending Sea God Mountain, Gu Yuena proactively explained the situation.
Although Tang Chen had been possessed, his consciousness had not completely dissipated.
With my help, he temporarily regained control of his body and met with Bo Saixi, but that undissipated consciousness seemed to be just a persistent obsession.
After meeting Bo Saixi, it completely dissipated.
"Ah?"
Li Qing was utterly bewildered. Tang Chen's consciousness was a persistent obsession?
That shouldn't be.
He remembered that in the original work, Tang Chen was later resurrected by Tang San. Could an obsession also be resurrected? There must be something fishy going on here, right?
Li Qing looked at Gu Yuena suspiciously.
Gu Yuena said unhappily, "What kind of look is that? Do you think I would do something so thankless?"
Li Qing was stunned and asked, "So, there really is a ghost?"
Gu Yuena said, "I'm not entirely sure. If someone is truly playing tricks, their strength must be above mine, and they would have had to leave a mark in Tang Chen's body beforehand."
Li Qing said speechlessly, "Doesn't that mean it was Asura who did it?"
Gu Yuena quickly said, "I didn't say that."
Li Qing always felt that something wasn't quite right, because according to Gu Yuena's description, only Asura was suspicious, but he had no reason to do so.
"Don't think about it, he did it."
The Sea God's voice suddenly echoed in Li Qing's mind, startling him.
Before Li Qing could ask, the Sea God continued, "He said that only if Tang Chen dies will you have a chance to take in Bo Saixi. Consider it a parting gift from him."
Li Qing: "???"
No, when did I ever say I wanted to take in Bo Saixi?
The Sea God continued, "Also, he asked me to deliver a message to you, saying that he hopes you won't make things difficult for Tang San, at least not until Tang San inherits his God Position."
Li Qing: "???"
Not making things difficult for Tang San before he inherits the God Position, what kind of operation is this?
If he just wanted to pass on his God Position and leave, why did he have to choose Tang San? Wouldn't choosing someone by his side avoid all these problems?
The Sea God smiled and said, "That Tang San is not from this World; Asura brought him here."
"Since he brought him here, there's a karmic connection. If he doesn't repay this karma, even if he leaves the God Realm, he won't be able to achieve much."
"Holy crap?"
Li Qing was truly a bit bewildered. Such a small, humble World actually played with something as high-end as karma.
"Are there any other first-rank Gods in the God Realm who want to leave?"
The Sea God smiled and said, "Oh, there are many. At least six or seven out of ten want to leave. Not just first-rank Gods, even the two God Kings, Goodness and Evil, want to leave."
Li Qing asked, "Why?"
The Sea God said, "Life in the God Realm is too monotonous. It's either meditating or meditating, and it doesn't even have much effect. If you were here, you'd want to leave too."
Li Qing: "..."
The Sea God said, "In short, don't touch Tang San for now. Once Asura transmits the God Position to him, you can do whatever you want with him. Anyway, he won't be able to threaten you."
