Chapter 23 - Chapter 177 Gaining Time for Development

"If you lie to me, you should know the consequences."

Looking at Bibi Dong's gritting teeth, Lin Beiya felt a surge of satisfaction.

And that's not all, you even lost your life protecting a good-for-nothing.

"Don't worry, I personally confirmed it in Fasinuo Province at the time."

"However, Teacher, if you are not confident in taking down Tang Hao, I suggest you do not act rashly."

"If they escape, and then continue to hide in the deep mountains and old forests to Cultivate until they become powerful before re-emerging, it will be even more troublesome."

A moment later, Bibi Dong slowly recovered from the shock, her eyes filled with a sarcastic sneer: "You want to use my hand to get rid of Tang Hao and his son?"

"What is the intention behind doing this? Is it because Tang Hao attacked you?"

"Other than that, you and that father-son duo shouldn't have any interaction."

Lin Beiya didn't plan to mention that the other party was brought to Douluo Continent by the Asura God.

Even if he said it, the other party might not believe it.

Anyway, a battle with Sea God Island was inevitable, so he might as well link the other party to the Sea God. After all, according to the original story, that's indeed how it was.

"I suspect the other party is the heir chosen by the Sea God."

"Hmm? Then why don't you act?"

Bibi Dong subconsciously asked, but when she looked up, she saw Lin Beiya's gaze, as if he were looking at an idiot.

"I can't beat Tang Hao right now!"

"Why should I risk exposing myself to the Clear Sky Hammer? Although my life would not be in danger, it would be inconvenient to do anything afterwards."

After much thought and weighing the pros and cons, Bibi Dong still decided to temporarily trust Lin Beiya. Anyway, some things could be confirmed after verification.

"You'd better not be lying to me, otherwise, you might have escaped the monk, but not the temple."

Seeing the other party finally relent, Lin Beiya also breathed a sigh of relief.

Being an enemy of both Sea God Island and Spirit Hall at the same time, this path was still too perilous.

"Don't worry, Teacher, I'll be in Saliker Province and won't be going anywhere else for a while."

The meaning was clear: if I lied, you could come to me at any time.

Bibi Dong nodded, then extended her slender jade hand, which made Lin Beiya feel a moment of confusion.

"Lend me the gemini cloth."

Lin Beiya: "?????"

Just now she was threatening to kill, and now she's asking to borrow something? Where's her face?

In fact, this was also the reason why Bibi Dong insisted on taking Lin Beiya back, even if it meant a complete fallout.

Originally, relying on the power of the cloth, the divine force of the Rakshasa God within her Soul had been mostly cleared, and the remaining part could not affect her will.

However, as the Divine Examination continued, the Rakshasa God's divine force began to invade her Soul again.

Bibi Dong was powerless against this, which made her extremely annoyed.

But at present, the cloth was still the most reliable solution.

Looking at the embarrassment slowly rising on Bibi Dong's face, Lin Beiya didn't say much. It wouldn't be good if the other party became angry out of shame. Anyway, there were quite a few cloths available now, so lending one to her was fine.

His third spirit ring shone, and Lin Beiya handed the gemini gold card to Bibi Dong.

"If you're not returning to Spirit Hall, don't recall the cloth casually. It's quite troublesome to go back and forth."

Leaving these words, Bibi Dong instantly vanished from the room, leaving only the slightly swaying curtains.

Sighing, Lin Beiya's heart once again yearned for strength.

Not much was needed. If he had been a Spirit Saint today, how would the other party dare to threaten him so recklessly?

"It seems that continuing to improve my strength is the king's way."

The operation to clear Sarikel was too smooth, which also made him feel a sense of complacency.

But thinking about it now, the other party was just some remaining rats who dared not enter Slaughter City, completely insignificant on the Continent.

There was nothing to be proud of in defeating them.

However, with Bibi Dong's arrival, it wasn't entirely without good news.

At least for a long time afterwards, he wouldn't have to worry about Spirit Hall attacking, and he could focus on the construction of Holy Crown City... Six months later, the construction of the twelve palaces was more than halfway complete, and other basic infrastructure within Holy Crown City also began simultaneous construction.

Everything was proceeding at a rapid pace.

Looking at the pattern at the entrance of the Aries Palace, Lin Beiya felt a sense of pride.

This was truly his territory.

The residential areas and shops outside the sanctuary did not require Sarikel's artisan resources at all.

The merchants and commoners spontaneously began to build their own homes.

This was because Lin Beiya had issued some land preferential policies, making land cheaper if one built their own house.

In half a year, Shi Nuo's spirit power Cultivation reached level 63, a slight slowdown from before.

However, this was an inevitable experience as Cultivation became higher, and Shi Nuo was not in a hurry.

Meanwhile, Ming Xin was still on the fast track of Cultivation improvement. At 15 years old, his Cultivation had already reached level 48, and the number of Armored Warriors of the Soul had further increased.

As Ming Xin's Cultivation grew stronger, Holy Crown City's defensive power would also become stronger.

Fortunately, the child was diligent enough to make up for the two years that had begun to be wasted, similarly becoming an existence that his peers looked up to.

And on this day, two guests arrived at Holy Crown City.

It was none other than Dugu Bo and his granddaughter, with whom he had an agreement.

"You little rascal, you're quite something, quietly running off to become a local emperor here."

Although Holy Crown City was not yet completed, merely from the land planning and the busy workers and merchants, one could glimpse that this place would surely become one of the most magnificent towns in eastern Heaven Dou in the future.

"Senior Dugu, you flatter me. This was just a choice made out of necessity."

"Oh? Is there someone who can force you to do things?"

Lin Beiya smiled mysteriously, without explaining much.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo didn't ask further. He didn't want to get involved in those power struggles.

After a long time, the 14-year-old Dugu Yan had also grown into a graceful young lady, though a hint of dark green in her eyes slightly marred her beauty.

"Long time no see, Brother Beiya."

"Indeed, Yan Yan is getting more and more beautiful!"

"Not at all, Brother Beiya is the one getting handsomer."

What was originally just simple polite flattery, made Dugu Bo on the side start stroking his beard and glaring.

You little rascal, are you flirting with my little cabbage right in front of me?

Lin Beiya gave an awkward smile and quickly changed the topic.

"Holy Crown City is still under construction, and there aren't many places to visit. Yan Yan, if you're interested in anything, feel free to look around."

"Here, take this cloth. When you want to detoxify yourself, you can do it yourself."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo seemed a little puzzled.

"Are you very busy, young man?"

"Of course, Senior Dugu must have heard about the situation in Saliker Province before."

Dugu Bo nodded. He had indeed heard about this place, which was said to be very chaotic, but now that he saw it, that wasn't the case at all.

"That's true. It seems you've put in a lot of effort these past two years, young man."

"Indeed. Now is the time for Holy Crown City to establish its reputation and attract residents and merchants. I cannot allow those Evil Soul Masters to cause trouble."

"Not even once."

Speaking of Evil Soul Masters, Lin Beiya's eyes subtly showed some Killing Intent.

He had seen too many nauseating scenes in the past two years, and had absolutely no tolerance for Evil Soul Masters. They could no longer be called humans.
