Chapter 23: Yun'er was shot, and Tang Hao broke through
Time flies—another month has passed.
Bibi Dong also found an opportunity and approached Qian Xunfeng.
"Teacher, I have something to tell you."
Bibi Dong stood in front of Qian Xunfeng, her eyes full of pleading, hoping he would listen.
"You should call me the Pope. How come you've been here for so many months and still don't recognize your identity?"
Qian Xunfeng looked at the pitiful Bibi Dong with a cold gaze, secretly guessing that it was the Rakshasa God who was exerting her influence.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope."
Hearing Qian Xunfeng's cold words, Bibi Dong bit her lip, tears welling up, but she knew that the teacher was willing to listen to her, and that was enough.
"Your Majesty the Pope, I want you to restore my cultivation."
As if afraid that Qian Xunfeng would misunderstand her reasons for leaving, Bibi Dong hurriedly explained her thoughts and the circumstances that led her to Slaughter City.
"Oh? Then why should I help you restore your cultivation, just because of your one-sided words?"
Qian Xunfeng looked down at Bibi Dong, who was groveling and spoke coldly.
"Teacher, Dong'er just wants to strengthen the Spirit Hall and, by the way, kill Yu Xiaogang."
Over the months, Bibi Dong had come to know that the teacher cared most about the Spirit Hall, so she focused on that. She also mentioned wanting to teach Yu Xiaogang a lesson, knowing that the teacher didn't like others hiding things from him.
"Heh, you say that so nicely."
Seeing that Bibi Dong was almost done, Qian Xunfeng decided it was time to plan for the Rakshasa God position, so he unsealed her.
"Okay, you can go. I'll let Elder Snake Lance take you there."
Patting her shoulder, Qian Xunfeng reminded her coldly: "This is your last chance."
"Yes, Dong'er will never let the teacher down."
Feeling her martial soul restored and her Soul Emperor cultivation returned, Bibi Dong's face flushed with excitement.
Looking at Qian Xunfeng's departing back, a trace of obsession flickered in her eyes—she seemed to think of something, and her body trembled slightly.
"I will make the teacher forgive me."
When Qian Xunfeng's figure disappeared from her mind, Bibi Dong felt hot all over and could no longer leave her teacher behind.
She stood up, saw water stains on the ground, picked up a mop, and silently cleaned the floor before leaving quietly.

Inside Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Hao excitedly rushed to the Sect Master Hall, his voice thunderous, startling Tang Xiao in the secret room.
"Yun'er! I'm going out to take a look first."
Tang Xiao reluctantly parted from Yun'er, put on his clothes, and still had a blush on his face—evidence of the intimacy of this month.
Yun'er was pregnant with his child, which made him even happier about becoming a father.
Arriving at the main hall, Tang Hao looked at Tang Xiao, whose face was glowing, and asked curiously:
"Brother, what have you been doing these days? Why do you look so good?"
"Haha, maybe I've had a breakthrough in my realm."
Tang Xiao felt a little guilty when asked by Tang Hao, but then regained confidence. Yun'er was not his real sister-in-law, so he shouldn't feel guilty.
"By the way, brother, I've broken through to level 90. Can I summon the elders to hunt that 100,000-year soul beast?"
After returning, Tang Xiao told Tang Hao about the news of the transformed soul beast and secretly informed the seven elders.
The Clear Sky Sect was shaken, and the seven elders were ready to help Tang Hao obtain the 100,000-year soul ring at any moment.
"Okay, Brother Hao, Clear Sky Sect will surely prosper with you."
Tang Xiao sensed Tang Hao's level 90 soul power and envied his talent before congratulating him.
"In that case, summon the seven elders and the leaders of the four affiliated sects to enter the Star Dou Great Forest and capture the transformed soul beast."
This news quickly reached the seven elders. While they claimed to be in seclusion, they secretly headed to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Unbeknownst to them, spies arranged by Qian Xunfeng outside the sect detected suspicious activity and immediately sent messages to the Spirit Hall.

Qian Xunfeng's plan:
"Xue'er, it's okay. I'll take you to get the soul ring today."
After receiving the secret letter, Qian Xunfeng asked Qian Xunji to take Qian Renxue to the Star Dou Great Forest with him.
"Great! Xue'er is also going to get a soul ring."
Hearing she wouldn't need to train anymore, Qian Renxue eagerly jumped in front of Qian Xunji, her eyes bright.
"Well, your Uncle and the two elders are waiting outside. You should go quickly."
Qian Xunji looked at his lively daughter, feeling emotional. He thought she had grown up and was very relieved.
"Dad, aren't you coming?"
Qian Renxue looked at Qian Xunji with big, curious eyes.
"Dad has to handle approval documents. Let your uncle take you."
Although the workload had decreased, it was still tiring. Qian Xunji couldn't help but smile helplessly.
"Okay, I'll go find my uncle first."

Three days later.
The luxurious team of eleven Soul Douluos, led by a title Douluo, quickly found the Lake of Life based on Tang Xiao's notes.
To be cautious, they first investigated the site. They found that the Titan Giant Ape from the note was not present, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Only an Azure Bull Python remained. Tang Xiao could use Clear Sky Nine Absolutes and Explosive Ring to hold it temporarily.
Soon, Bai He, the patriarch of the Speed clan, returned excitedly:
"It's out—the 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast!"
Everyone hurriedly looked out, and what they saw was a stunning scene.
Under the moonlight, her face was delicate and beautiful. The bright moon reflected her flawless white legs, and her pink pupils seemed to hold an inexplicable attraction.
The pitiful, delicate face and the soft, boneless rabbit on her head moved everyone — they longed to embrace her tightly.
"Calm down! Don't be fooled by this soul beast."
Although Tang Xiao was initially captivated, he quickly regained his senses. His heart belonged to Yun'er, and no one else could take her place.
"Killing God Domain!"
"Clear Sky Nine Absolutes."
Tang Hao also snapped back to reality and unleashed the Killing God Domain, covering the entire Lake of Life.
"Aunt Rou, be careful!"
The Azure Bull Python, hidden beneath the water, suddenly lunged out to protect Ah Rou. The big white rabbit Xiao Wu, still untransformed, also jumped to defend vigilantly.
"Human, you are not welcome here. Leave."
The Azure Bull Python looked at the Sect members who nearly hurt Aunt Rou, and thunder crackled around its body. The force of the attack from earlier almost took her life.
It was just a beast, but it hoped to force the humans away. Otherwise, it might not be able to protect Aunt Rou if they attacked again.
Aunt Rou was still injured. Xiao Wu, lacking fighting skills, only had cultivation. She could only hope Er Ming sensed the soul power fluctuations and supported her in time.
