Bibi Dong frowned slightly. Regardless, allowing a talent like Lin Beiya to develop freely outside was certainly not conducive to her long-term plans.
Even if she brought him back to Spirit Hall and put him under house arrest, it would be better than him disrupting her plans in the future.
"Why do you think that? Tang Hao's matter was just an accident."
"Come back to Spirit Hall."
"That is your home."
Even without a Divine Examination, Lin Beiya had no intention of returning to Spirit Hall, especially now that the Sanctuary was under construction.
"Teacher, let's be frank."
"You're simply worried that I'm aligned with the Hall of Worship and that you won't be able to control me once I grow stronger."
"Now that I've left Spirit Hall and don't participate in any factional struggles, isn't that good for both you and me?"
Hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression gradually turned cold. Lin Beiya's words clearly conveyed his refusal.
Since the cat was out of the bag, she no longer needed to pretend.
"Since you know all the reasons, you should understand that I will not allow you to continue growing outside."
"Will you come with me willingly, or shall I personally take you?"
Facing a Titled Douluo-level Bibi Dong, Lin Beiya showed no fear.
Instead, he shrugged and said playfully:
"Teacher, you can try to see if you can do it."
A golden glow suddenly shot out from Bibi Dong's Phoenix eyes, and then she extended her jade hand, quickly grabbing towards Lin Beiya.
What she thought was a sure thing ultimately ended up empty.
Lin Beiya used Psychokinesis and Teleportation to appear in another corner of the room.
Seeing Bibi Dong turn to attack him again, Lin Beiya immediately opened a Netherworld passage and entered it.
Only Bibi Dong was left in place, observing her surroundings in surprise.
With her mental force intensity, she couldn't detect Lin Beiya's presence at all.
A moment later, Lin Beiya reopened the Netherworld passage, reappearing in Bibi Dong's line of sight.
This time, the other party did not act rashly again, but stared at him with an ugly expression and said:
"Such powerful spatial attainment. When you faced Tang Hao, did you escape this way too?"
"That's right, Teacher. No matter how strong you are, I can escape safely."
"Does Teacher want to try again?"
Lin Beiya's arrogant words made the scenery in front of Bibi Dong tremble. After gritting her teeth for a moment, Bibi Dong instead revealed a hint of a smile.
"I truly can't catch you, but can your two companions freely traverse different spaces like you?"
"And you're holed up in the easternmost part of this continent, precisely to build this Saliker Province, right?"
"I think destroying this place would be as easy as flipping a hand."
The threat was self-evident, and Lin Beiya's expression slowly turned cold.
Harming those close to him was something he would absolutely not tolerate.
"Teacher, do you really want a fight to the death?"
"Then you might want to weigh whether you can bear the consequences."
Hearing this, a hint of mockery flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes. She didn't think Lin Beiya could do anything to her; he merely had some strange methods to protect himself.
Lin Beiya, of course, knew this, but he naturally had a way to make Bibi Dong hesitate.
"Teacher, you're thinking, 'What can I do to you,' right?"
"Then it's perfectly fine for me to go find a certain Grandmaster who claims to be invincible in theory, isn't it?"
Bibi Dong paused slightly, then said with a fierce but inwardly weak expression.
"You dare!"
Lin Beiya scoffed, "You do the first day of the month, and you won't let me do the fifteenth?"
"That depends on how Teacher acts."
"If things turn unpleasant for both sides, I might just have to go chat with that Grandmaster and exchange ideas."
"Perhaps after I exchange knowledge with the learned Grandmaster, I could even publish a book titled 'The Unspeakable Story of the Supreme Pontiff and the Holy Maiden'!"
Bibi Dong: "..."
The room was enveloped by the killing intent emanating from Bibi Dong's entire body; her Slaughter God Domain had unconsciously been released.
The temperature suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Clearly, Lin Beiya's words had shattered her bottom line.
"You're looking for death. I don't believe you can hide forever."
Seeing Bibi Dong about to lose control, Lin Beiya secretly thought, "This is bad!" Although he wasn't afraid of her, Ming Xin and Shi Nuo were still next door!
"Teacher, wait a moment."
Bibi Dong clearly wasn't buying it and continued to slowly walk towards Lin Beiya. As long as he dared to hide, she would immediately tear the two people in the next room to shreds.
"Do you have any last words?"
"Teacher, you're just afraid that I'll go down a conflicting Dao in the future. You don't need to worry about that. I have my own enemies and no time to contend with you for the entire continent."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong stopped, seemingly pondering the truthfulness of Lin Beiya's words.
Seeing this, Lin Beiya immediately said:
"Sea God Island. My enemy is Sea God Island, or more precisely, the Sea God."
"Hmph, are you making fun of me, the Supreme Pontiff? Your enemy, a quasi-Spirit Emperor, is a god?"
Knowing that Bibi Dong wouldn't believe him just by talking, Lin Beiya immediately lit up the divine pattern on his forehead.
The appearance of the five-pointed star pattern made Bibi Dong turn pale with fright.
"God... God Position?"
Bibi Dong, who possessed the Rakshasa God Trial, understood such patterns all too well. She hadn't expected her unofficial Disciple to have such an encounter.
"That's right. When I accepted the god of war and wisdom's nine trials, the Sea God was already my absolute mortal enemy. So, all my future actions will be to deal with Sea God Island."
"Teacher might not know, but they already sent two Titled Douluo to Xinghai City to search for my whereabouts previously."
"It's just that I discovered them in advance and managed to evade them."
Bibi Dong's expression was uncertain, clearly pondering the truthfulness of Lin Beiya's words. If it were truly so, there would be no need to continue pressuring him, as she would needlessly push a potential Divine Rank Realm powerhouse to the opposing side.
Coexisting peacefully wasn't impossible.
Her goal was the entire continent, while his goal was the sea, so there was truly no need for conflict.
Moreover, neither the Grandmaster who was invincible in theory nor the book "The Unspeakable Story of the Supreme Pontiff and the Holy Maiden" were consequences she could accept.
Seeing signs of her softening, Lin Beiya immediately decided to offer some concrete information, and incidentally, see if he could cause some trouble for that father and son.
"Teacher, instead of confronting me here, why don't you go see what that Grandmaster has been up to?"
"What do you mean?"
Concerning her old lover, Bibi Dong immediately showed a serious expression. If Lin Beiya didn't explain himself, this woman might still cause trouble.
"He has taken in a Disciple with twin spirits and Innately Full Spirit Power."
"Heh, what's so strange about that? With his knowledge, isn't that normal?"
Lin Beiya: "..."
He really wanted to ask if Yu Xiaogang made keys?
"Then, the fact that his Disciple is Tang Hao's son probably doesn't bother you much, does it, Teacher?"
"What?"
The supportive demeanor towards the Grandmaster vanished instantly. Upon hearing that his Disciple was Tang Hao's son, Bibi Dong's defenses immediately broke.
"What have I become to protect your life?"
"You haven't come to see me for over ten years, and that's fine. But Tang Hao, no matter what, is Spirit Hall's mortal enemy on the surface, and you turn around and take his son as your Disciple?"
