Spirit City, Pope Mountain.
A broad granite staircase stretched from the mountain's base to its waist, leading directly to the square before the Pope Palace.
Flanking the staircase stood rows of Palace Guardian Knights clad in silver armor, their Silver Halberds gleaming with a solemn, murderous aura.
At the left side of the mountain's base stood a magnificent palace, designed like a grand hotel—this was the Spirit Hall's guest reception area.
At the palace entrance stood a dignified man in blue robes, his brow sharp and cold.
This was none other than Yu Yuanzhen.
Nearly half a month had passed since his arrival from Heaven Dou City to Spirit City, and he had been staying in this hotel the entire time.
Yet, he still hadn't managed to meet Bibi Dong.
This prolonged wait gradually cooled Yu Yuanzhen's temper.
His burning desire for vengeance had settled.
Coming to the Spirit Hall, he was reminded of the previous Pope, Qian Xunji.
Qian Xunji had died at Tang Hao's hands, and to this day, the Spirit Hall had failed to exact revenge.
With this comparison in mind, Yu Yuanzhen felt somewhat balanced.
Even the Pope had been killed, yet Tang Hao remained unharmed!
His own family had lost two geniuses, but failing to avenge them wasn't as shameful as the Spirit Hall's failure.
If anything, the Spirit Hall was the more humiliated party.
Thus, after days of simmering rage, he found himself waiting patiently instead.
He refused to believe Bibi Dong would avoid him forever.
"Clan Leader Yu, please follow me. Her Majesty awaits you in the Pope Palace!"
At that moment, a ghostly figure appeared nearby.
Cloaked in black gauze, the figure seemed to float above the ground—who else could it be but Gui Mei?
"Lead the way!"
Yu Yuanzhen brightened and quickly followed Gui Mei up Pope Mountain.
Soon after, Yu Yuanzhen entered the council hall of the Pope Palace.
Pope Bibi Dong sat regally upon the papal throne.
"Greetings, Your Holiness!" Yu Yuanzhen bowed respectfully.
"Clan Leader Yu, please take a seat," Bibi Dong replied courteously.
Yu Yuanzhen nodded and sat in the lower seat, while Ghost Douluo took the seat opposite him.
"Your Holiness, I have come to discuss a joint effort against the Clear Sky Sect.
The incident in Heaven Dou City must already be known to Your Holiness.
Tang Hao and his son Tang San plotted long in advance and killed my grandson Tian Xin in the arena.
The Clear Sky Sect has repeatedly targeted my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. It seems they intend to eliminate all other sects and dominate the continent alone!"
Yu Yuanzhen spoke furiously, as though lodging a formal complaint.
Yet Bibi Dong, seated on the papal throne, remained expressionless. After a long pause, she finally spoke with a hint of skepticism, "Your son, Yu Xiaogang, is Tang San's teacher."
Her implication was clear—how could she trust him when his own son was aiding the Clear Sky Sect?
Yu Yuanzhen stiffened slightly. It seemed Bibi Dong had been closely monitoring events in Heaven Dou City and was well-informed about Tang San and Shrek Academy's movements.
"Your Holiness, this is precisely the secret I wished to share with you.
Xiao Gang has been completely captivated by Tang San's talent, disregarding our family's grievances entirely.
The Tang father and son are despicable! On one hand, they exploit Xiao Gang's knowledge to train Tang San, while on the other, they attack my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family!"
Yu Yuanzhen gritted his teeth, as though mustering great resolve.
Bibi Dong exchanged a glance with Gui Mei before asking, "Oh? Tang San? Could he be even more talented than Tang Hao?"
"He poses a greater threat than Tang Hao because he possesses Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Soul Spirits, with the other Martial Soul being the Clear Sky Hammer!"
Having decided to align with Spirit Hall, Yu Yuanzhen knew there was no turning back now. He directly revealed Tang San's extraordinary talent.
As expected, both Bibi Dong and Gui Mei's expressions changed drastically.
"What did you say?
Twin Soul Spirits? Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer... I see."
Bibi Dong murmured softly.
She harbored no doubt. She trusted Yu Xiaogang's judgment—only Twin Soul Spirits could have compelled him to devote himself so thoroughly to teaching.
"Twin Soul Spirits... If he grows up, he will indeed become a threat to Spirit Hall. Xiao Gang's discernment is as sharp as ever."
Bibi Dong spoke calmly.
"Your Holiness, we absolutely cannot allow this Tang San to grow stronger. Tang Hao alone has already inflicted immense losses upon Spirit Hall, let alone a Tang San with an additional Martial Soul!"
Gui Mei's face twisted into a vicious snarl.
Bibi Dong lightly tapped her chair and asked Yu Yuanzhen, "What does Clan Leader Yu intend to do?"
As a seasoned fence-sitter, Yu Yuanzhen had no desire to take the lead. With a hint of deference, he replied, "I shall act entirely according to Your Holiness's orders."
Though technically her elder, his submissive posture was a clear surrender of dignity.
"Tang San has concealed his second Martial Soul, likely to prevent other factions from learning of his talent.
Clan Leader Yu, how about spreading this news far and wide?" Bibi Dong smiled.
"Your Holiness is wise. Clan Leader Yu, this is your chance to earn the Elders Hall's trust.
After all, your son is Tang San's teacher. Even if Her Holiness wishes to assist you, the Elders Hall would never approve!"
Gui Mei's sinister gaze bore into Yu Yuanzhen.
He sneered inwardly—had Yu Yuanzhen not lost two grandsons in quick succession, he would never have sought Spirit Hall's aid so hastily.
But Yu Yuanzhen's cunning was well-known throughout Spirit Hall. Without making him pay a price, no one would trust him.
Yu Yuanzhen's expression stiffened before he resolutely declared, "Your Holiness need not worry. I will ensure this news spreads across the land with utmost speed!"
Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction.
Leaving Yu Yuanzhen waiting for half a month had been a deliberate move—to make him understand that it was he who needed Spirit Hall, not the other way around.
Tang San could not be allowed to grow any further!
But with Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect protecting him, capturing him would be no easy feat.
If they acted rashly and alarmed their prey, it could jeopardize her grand plans.
Better to let the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and the Clear Sky Sect clash first!
"Xiao Gang, I still remember what you once told me—how everyone in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family ostracized you, how even the branch family members mocked you.
From your Spirit Awakening to the years before you left the family, that was the darkest period of your life.
You felt pain. You felt humiliation!
During your time at Spirit Hall, you buried yourself in researching Martial Souls, poring over every historical record, all to prove to your father that you weren't worthless.
Back then, you barely had time to spare for me!
Xiao Gang, Yu Yuanzhen never cared for you—he only sought to use you.
Let me rid you of him!
You took Tang San as your disciple solely to prove yourself once he grows powerful.
To prove yourself to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, to those who once scorned you.
But if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family ceases to exist... you won't need to prove anything anymore!"
"You'll never have to worry again!"
Bibi Dong wore a smile on her face, but her heart burned with vengeance and hatred toward Yu Yuanzhen.
She was determined to make the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family fight each other.
She absolutely had to destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.
"Perhaps it's possible..."
Bibi Dong's thoughts became clearer and clearer in her mind.
She even grew excited.
She was going to stir up trouble.
