—------------------—
After listening to Shi Quan's speculation, Qian Renxue fell silent.
What Shi Quan said was a possibility, but all of this was just their speculation based on what they currently knew.
Qian Renxue didn't know what exactly happened back then.
"Do you still need my help to investigate?"
"Investigate!" Qian Renxue's eyes flickered, and no one knew what she was thinking.
One thing was certain: the more she knew, the more she wanted to understand what exactly happened back then.
"No problem." Shi Quan nodded, "After the Soul Spirit Assembly, I will help you find the truth of that year."
Qian Renxue's thoughts were undoubtedly chaotic. After saying a few simple words, Shi Quan did not disturb her further; what she needed most now was to be alone and calm down.
Three weeks later, the Soul Spirit Assembly was held as scheduled.
Ten days of soul spirit Fusion quickly ended.
"Gu Yuena, please pay attention to three Thousand Jun Ant Emperors for me, with a cultivation of around ninety thousand years; they might be useful."
"No problem." Gu Yuena nodded, "When are you planning to go to other continents?"
Collecting planetary faith naturally couldn't just be the faith of the Douluo Continent. On Douluo Star, there were several continents of varying sizes, and the faith from these continents naturally also needed to be collected.
Upon this return, Shi Quan intended to go to other continents to propagate the concept of Reincarnation and collect faith.
"Let's wait a bit longer. I need to go to Spirit City first to make a deal with the Rakshasa Legacy holder. If it goes smoothly, the possibility of Rakshasa becoming our ally in the future will greatly increase."
"Alright, then I'll wait for your news in the Star Dou Great Forest." Gu Yuena nodded. Shi Quan's current strength was enough to ensure his safety in front of any Douluo Continent powerhouse.
She no longer needed to stay by Shi Quan's side to protect him.
Bidding farewell to Gu Yuena, Shi Quan set off towards Spirit City.
A few days later.
Spirit City, at the foot of Martial Spirit Mountain.
"Stop." Two silver-armored temple knights blocked Quan's path. A hundred temple knights simultaneously raised their long swords. "This is a Forbidden Land. Take another step closer, and you will be killed without mercy."
"Shi Quan of the Heaven Dou Empire has come to request an audience with the Supreme Pontiff," Shi Quan's calm voice resounded.
The leading temple knight, upon hearing this, carefully sized up Shi Quan. His expression immediately became exceptionally respectful. "Master Shi, please enter first. I will go and report to His Highness the Supreme Pontiff right away."
With Shi Quan's current prestige, he was a distinguished guest wherever he went, even in Spirit Hall.
Seated in the Supreme Pontiff Palace's assembly hall, he waited for about a quarter of an hour.
The three-meter-high archway opened, and Bibi Dong's voice came from outside the door, "You all guard outside. Without my command, no one is allowed to disturb."
"Yes."
Raising his eyes, Shi Quan looked towards the direction of the assembly hall's entrance.
The door opened, and Bibi Dong's tall and noble figure slowly walked in. Their gazes met, and Bibi Dong found that she could no longer see through Shi Quan.
"Did she send you?" Bibi Dong's voice was flat, devoid of any emotion.
"Something like that." Shi Quan nodded slightly, "I'm helping her investigate what happened back then."
Bibi Dong's pupils flickered. She calmly asked, "What happened?"
"The matter between Qian Xunji and you." Shi Quan waved his hand, "I think instead of bothering to investigate, it's better to come directly and ask you. There's no need for so many twists and turns."
Bibi Dong's hand gripping the scepter tightened involuntarily, then she sneered, "Didn't that old geezer Qian Daoliu tell her? And why do you think I would tell you what happened back then?"
"I've already learned the general outline of what happened back then from Yu Xiaogang and Qian Daoliu. We've actually roughly guessed what specifically transpired, we just want to get the exact answer from you."
"Xiaogang?" Bibi Dong's eyes immediately burst forth with an evil purple glow. A powerful aura locked onto Shi Quan. "What did you do to him?!"
Shi Quan did not answer Bibi Dong's question. Instead, he counter-questioned, "Is a good-for-nothing like Yu Xiaogang worth you caring about him so much?"
"Answer my question!" Bibi Dong's spirit power fluctuated around her, and an evil spider shadow emerged. It was clear that if Shi Quan's answer didn't satisfy her, she would directly attack.
Shi Quan frowned, but still replied, "He's with Liu Erlong at Blue Tyrant Academy."
Bibi Dong's ferocious expression paused, but her agitated emotions didn't change much. Her eyes were as cold as a venomous snake. "Are you telling the truth?"
"Why do you deceive yourself?" Shi Quan calmly looked at Bibi Dong, "He's a liar and a good-for-nothing, not worth your remembrance at all."
"My affairs are not for you to judge!" Bibi Dong coldly looked at Shi Quan, "Don't think that just because she supports you, you can act recklessly and spout nonsense here!"
As her words fell, an evil aura seemed to erupt.
The next second, a dominating golden light burst forth from Shi Quan's back, directly scattering this evil aura. The powerful mental force transformed into terrifying pressure, directly pushing back.
"Act recklessly and spout nonsense?" Shi Quan sneered, "In this world, if I claim to be the most suitable person to evaluate Yu Xiaogang, no one would dare claim second!"
"In terms of talent, he and I are the same. In terms of Martial Spirit, his Martial Spirit at least has a trace of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Bloodline, while mine is just ordinary Blue Silver Grass. In terms of background, he has the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind him, and even your assistance back then, while I am just an ordinary person."
"What was the result? Not only did he mislead Disciple, harm his own Family Disciple, destroy the future lineage of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but he also cultivated Tang San, a wicked Spirit Master! Becoming a scoundrel reviled by everyone, what is he if not a good-for-nothing and a liar? Just based on the mistakes he committed, he already deserves to die. My not killing him has already given you enough Face."
Bibi Dong's figure swayed slightly. After steadying herself, her expression changed as she looked at Shi Quan. She actually felt a sense of oppression from Shi Quan that was similar to Qian Daoliu's.
After a long silence, Bibi Dong finally spoke coldly, "Did you come just to tell me all this?"
Shi Quan replied, "No, I came to make a deal with you. If you can let go of your obsession with Yu Xiaogang and tell me the answer from back then, I can provide you with two hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast soul spirits."
Bibi Dong sneered, "What if I don't agree?"
Shi Quan did not answer, but instead counter-questioned, "Bibi Dong, if your Disciple Hu Liena, like you back then, fell in love with someone she shouldn't have, abandoning you, her teacher who has treated her like a daughter since childhood, abandoning Spirit Hall, which poured resources into cultivating her."
"As an observer, what would you do?"
"Could you act as if nothing happened and let her leave, letting her be with a good-for-nothing who would abandon her and have no sense of responsibility...?"
