Chapter 279: Discussing the Soul Hunting Operation
"I understand. As long as she is willing to see me, that's fine."
After receiving Ning Bei's response, Bibi Dong felt a bit relieved. The melancholy expression on her face made Ning Bei unable to resist mocking her.
The trouble she had caused in the past now required her to find an opportunity to make amends.
"By the way, do you have any plans to take action against the three major sects?"
When these words were mentioned, Bibi Dong gradually concealed the complex emotions on her face and raised an eyebrow, looking at Ning Bei.
"Why? Are you asking me to target your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
"Heh, you want to try?"
"Oh? So confident?"
Bibi Dong was surprised, not expecting Ning Bei to directly accept the challenge.
Ning Bei showed no interest in responding, thinking that he was no longer the child who relied on Di Tian's authority. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was no longer what it once was. If the Spirit Hall dared to come, he would accept the challenge.
"No choice, my strength no longer allows me to be low-key."
"Hmph, not afraid of biting your tongue?"
"With the number of Title Douluo in both hands and feet, bring it on!"
When she heard that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had more than twenty Title Douluo, Bibi Dong was immediately shocked. She stood up, wide-eyed, and looked at Ning Bei.
"Where did you get so many Title Douluo? Are you trying to trick me?"
"Tch, what benefit would I get by tricking you? Stop blabbering. I asked if you have any plans."
Ning Bei scoffed, no longer in the mood to entertain her.
Bibi Dong's expression shifted, and after a long silence, she exhaled. In her mind, even though Ning Bei might have exaggerated, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Title Douluo wouldn't be less than the number of hands on her body.
Fortunately, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not part of the plan, and now, seeing that they were from her camp, Bibi Dong felt a little more reassured.
"Why do you ask? Do you have any plans?"
"Xue'er will probably move against the Star Luo Empire soon. Do you think we should attack the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Haotian Sect at the same time, or wait until Star Luo is dealt with?"
"Star Luo? That's probably a tough nut to crack, huh?"
Bibi Dong knew that Qian Renxue was gradually taking control of the Tiandou Empire, but she didn't believe that the Star Luo Empire would be taken so easily.
"Hmph, the Dai family has ruled Star Luo for so many years and offended countless nobles. As long as we can severely damage Star Luo's main forces and create internal chaos, taking down the entire Star Luo Empire is still possible. It will just take time."
After a moment of thought, Bibi Dong made her decision.
"Then, after the two major sects are distracted by the war between Tiandou and Star Luo, I'll strike simultaneously and catch them off guard."
Ning Bei did not object, but he added some necessary clarifications.
"That's fine, but you must be extra careful with Haotian Sect. From what I know, they have more than seven Title Douluo-level elders."
"Impossible!"
Bibi Dong instinctively found this hard to believe. According to her, the Haotian Sect only had the sect master, Tang Xiao, as a Title Douluo. At most, there might be one or two anomalies, but how could so many Title Douluo suddenly appear?
"Believe it or not, but don't blame me if you end up losing unexpectedly."
This made Bibi Dong seriously consider the matter. Seven Title Douluo would indeed be troublesome, and the number she could command was only that much.
"Actually, after trying to repair your relationship with Xue'er, taking down Haotian Sect won't be that hard."
Ning Bei spoke again, suggesting a path, but it made Bibi Dong deeply uncomfortable. She despised the Angel Clan. As for Qian Renxue, well, she was her daughter.
But the old man from the Douluo Hall, who had the power to stop everything from happening and had allowed things to spiral out of control, had obstructed her openly over the years. Asking her to seek help from Qian Daoliu was even worse than asking her to die.
Ning Bei clearly understood this reasoning, but without relying on the power of the Douluo Hall, there was only one other method left.
"You don't want to seek help from that old man from the Douluo Hall, do you?"
"Hmph!"
Bibi Dong snorted and turned her head away, making it clear that she was unwilling.
"In that case, when the war between Tiandou and Star Luo begins, you can take down the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect first. Once Star Luo is dealt with, we'll join forces to take down Haotian Sect."
"If we do that, won't Haotian Sect be prepared?"
"You're aware of that? You refuse to seek help, and when I offer you a method, you think of ways around it. If you're so capable, why don't you come up with a perfect solution yourself?"
"You..."
Bibi Dong was momentarily speechless, but the truth was, the problem was on her side.
"Alright, if there are any changes, we'll communicate again. Everything's been discussed, so I'll take my leave."
Watching Ning Bei leave, Bibi Dong fell into deep thought, but she ultimately did not try to stop him and silently watched him leave the hall.
After leaving Soul Hall City, Ning Bei flew directly back to Tiandou City and went straight to the palace, where he was brought before Qian Renxue.
In the newly prepared secret chamber, Qian Renxue quickly removed her disguise and asked.
"How did it go? Did everything work out?"
"That depends on how you look at it. If we're only talking about obtaining the God Trial, then this is definitely a success. Nami has successfully gained the recognition of the Hanhai Qiankun Shield and has received the Sea God's Nine Trials."
"The Sea God's Nine Trials? Does that mean your little apprentice will inherit the Sea God position?"
Qian Renxue, who had some knowledge of the God Trial, was very excited. The stronger her side was, the more likely they were to win in the end.
However, Ning Bei's words made her a little confused. Although Nami had already passed the Sea God's Nine Trials, why was Ning Bei still saying it like this?
"Obtaining the God Trial is great, but whether she can complete the trial is still unknown. Also, I can't shake the feeling that something is off about this."
"What's off?"
"Although my apprentice's martial soul and talents are pretty good, they're clearly not top-tier. The High Priest of Sea God Island has the Sea God Martial Soul, and even with her innate soul power, which is the same as yours at level 20, she couldn't get the Sea God's Nine Trials. Why did my apprentice manage to do it?"
"That's the choice of the gods. We don't need to think too much about it. You should trust your apprentice!"
Ning Bei's concerns made sense to her, but since it was the gods' choice, Qian Renxue, who held a deep reverence for the gods, wasn't going to question it.
To others, gods were high and mighty, watching over the world with no desires of their own. Naturally, Qian Renxue didn't have too many doubts. When the God Trial came, you just had to complete it. However, Ning Bei didn't dare to overestimate the moral qualities of those gods. Wasn't the little angel in front of her a classic example of being betrayed by the gods?
But, as she said, since the God Trial had already arrived, and there was nothing more to be done, she had no choice but to place her trust in Nami.
"Yes, you're right. I'll observe their progress in the trials after some time."
"What about you? How is the consolidation of Tiandou's power going?"
"Not bad. None of the major kingdoms have shown any significant opposition to me. The soldiers at the border have safely withdrawn from the war zone under the leadership of the new generals I selected. The four border cities are now under Star Luo's control."
