"On that day, within the main hall, Lin Yu declared himself a successor of a god. Nearly a hundred high-ranking officials were present. Any of them could have leaked the news, so why do you assume it was me?!"
"To pressure me like this without evidence, aren't you going too far?!"
There was indeed no evidence, but Qian Daoliu had already decided it was Bibi Dong.
"Still trying to argue with me here!!"
Qian Daoliu roared.
The next second, he directly charged at Bibi Dong and slapped her hard across the face.
Crack!
The sound of the slap echoed through the hall.
"Wah ah ah~!"
Bibi Dong shrieked, her body instantly sent flying, slamming heavily against the wall.
Bibi Dong herself was stunned. She widened her eyes, slowly raised her hand, and pressed it against her fiercely slapped cheek, unable to believe that Qian Daoliu would directly hit her.
"Qian! Dao! Liu! You actually hit me?!" Bibi Dong was furious internally, her expression never having been so ugly.
Due to her extreme anger, a trace of the Rakshasa God's aura, which she had been hiding, uncontrollably leaked out.
Even this mere trace was noticed by Qian Daoliu: "A god's aura, is this woman also one?"
He had actually vaguely sensed it earlier, and now, feeling the Rakshasa God's aura, Qian Daoliu was finally 100% certain.
But even if Bibi Dong was truly a successor of a god, Qian Daoliu would absolutely not tolerate it this time.
Years ago, Bibi Dong killed his biological son, Qian Xunji; he tolerated it.
That day, Bibi Dong pressured Qian Renxue in the hall with a hundred high-ranking officials present; he also tolerated it!
But this time, if Bibi Dong again plotted to harm his beloved disciple, Qian Daoliu would absolutely not tolerate it!
Initially, Qian Daoliu valued and paid close attention to Lin Yu indeed because Lin Yu possessed extraordinary talent and was a successor of a god.
But as time passed, he had long since established a deep master-disciple relationship with Lin Yu.
He even regarded Lin Yu as his future Dugu Yan.
Moreover, Lin Yu truly reciprocated his kindness, showing gratitude by offering Immortal Herbs to help the Elder increase their cultivation levels. From that moment on, Lin Yu had occupied an extremely important position in the hearts of the Elder!
Qian Daoliu warned with killing intent: "Bibi Dong! Listen carefully to me. If anything happens to Lin Yu this time, no matter how great the cost, I will not let you off lightly!"
"By then, you won't be sitting on this Supreme Pontiff's throne anymore!"
"Let's go!"
Facing Qian Daoliu's murderous and domineering intimidation, Bibi Dong could only glare fiercely, not daring to utter a single word.
She had never expected that Lin Yu would be so important in the hearts of these Elder.
That Qian Daoliu and the others would go to such lengths for Lin Yu was far beyond Bibi Dong's expectations.
However, after Qian Daoliu and the others left, Bibi Dong became tough and vicious again: "Qian Daoliu! You, Qian Daoliu!!"
"One day, I will kill all of you! And destroy the Six-Winged Angel Clan!"
Returning to the other side.
Lin Yu, Qian Renxue, and the others had passed a full day and night safely after leaving Spirit City, with nothing happening.
The assassins from all sides did not make a move on the first day because they wanted Lin Yu and the others to relax their guard a bit.
Secondly, they had not found an ideal strategic location for an assassination.
But the assassins from Star Luo and Heaven Dou had already planned their assassination strategy, as well as the time and location for the ambush.
On their way back to Spirit City, they would pass through a relatively long, unavoidable mountain path. If they didn't take this route, they would have to take a very long detour.
The so-called mountain path was a road that traversed a series of interconnected mountains.
This terrain was complex, with many hiding and ambush spots, while visibility was severely obstructed, with many covers, hiding places, and blind spots.
This would greatly facilitate their escape, allowing them to effectively shake off Ghost Leopard Douluo's pursuit and making it harder to be caught.
Therefore, they decided to ambush and assassinate them along this mountain path at night!
According to their estimation, at their current speed, Lin Yu and the others would likely reach the mountain path around seven or eight in the evening.
By then, it would be late.
Night was most conducive for an assassination.
However, Lin Yu, who had a bad premonition early on, also analyzed the return route in advance and realized that this mountain path might be the most dangerous section of the entire journey back.
And at their current speed, there was a high probability they would traverse this road at night.
Unless they found a place to rest before the mountain path, stay overnight, and leave at dawn.
But that would waste more time.
"If we speed up and go full throttle now, we should be able to cross this mountain path before dark." Lin Yu pondered and immediately made a decision: "Xue'er Jie, we're not taking the carriage anymore; we'll ride horses directly."
"Go!"
After unhitching the carriage behind, the horses, unburdened, could run much faster and had more stamina and endurance.
They rode their horses at full gallop.
They successfully arrived at the beginning of the mountain path before 4 PM, with ample time to cross it before 7 PM, when darkness fell.
This immediately disrupted the assassins' plans.
"Not good! The plan has changed; our target arrived early!"
"What? What do we do now? This way, we can't make a move under the cover of night."
The Star Luo assassin leader said in a deep voice: "This is already the best terrain, and we've set up our ambush here. If we can't move under the cover of night, so be it. At most, a few more people will die."
These people were all death warriors cultivated by various forces over many years, a group of desperate individuals who would disregard life and death as long as they could complete their mission.
"Good!"
An hour later.
"They're finally here!"
All the assassins instantly entered hunting mode.
Ghost Leopard Douluo also seemed to have smelled the scent of danger. He reminded them: "Lin Yu, Young Master, be careful. Something is not quite right here."
"Mm."
Lin Yu and Qian Renxue nodded.
"Go!"
The horses galloped past.
But it was at this moment that the assassins finally made their move!
"Fifth Soul Skill, Earth Flow Spike Array, activate!"
Under the horses' hooves, a circular spirit power array pattern instantly appeared. The next second, the originally solid ground suddenly began to loosen, then violently shake.
The surrounding ground undulated like seawater.
Immediately afterward, the earth transformed into long, sharp earth spikes, shooting skyward.
"This is! A terrain-based Spirit Ability!"
Lin Yu instantly released his Element Angel Spirit, flapped his wings, pulled Qian Renxue's hand, and flew into the sky, avoiding all the earth spikes.
But the horses were not spared and were impaled by the earth spikes on the spot.
"There really is an ambush here!" Ghost Leopard Douluo instantly protected Lin Yu and Qian Renxue.
"It's all terrain-based Spirit Abilities."
Lin Yu looked around, and on the stone walls to his left and right, numerous circular spirit power array patterns also appeared.
Terrain-based Spirit Abilities are similar to formation skills, where a Spirit Master can pre-release a Spirit Ability and embed it in a location, then activate it whenever they wish.
A typical example is Xue Wu from Tianshui Academy (Skywater Academy).
