Chapter 124 Letting Jiang Nian Leave, Bibi Dong's Complex Thoughts.
In the Papal Palace, Gui Mei and Yue Guan stepped forward, bowed, and asked Bibi Dong what her instructions were.
"You two, just like last time, take good care of the Holy Son."
"That's it, go."
Bibi Dong dismissed the two and closed her eyes, feigning sleep.
No one knew what she was thinking at that moment.
The two who left the Papal Palace exchanged a strange glance.
In the past, their Pope would give many instructions before being satisfied; why did she seem like a different person today?
"Let's go, let's catch up with His Highness."
"Okay."
The two flew towards the outskirts of Wuhun City at a moderate pace, and it wouldn't be long before they caught up with Jiang Nian's carriage.
Gradually leaving the area of Wuhun City, it was already noon.
It had snowed all night, and now the roads were a white expanse, and it still felt a bit cold.
Qian Renxue hugged Jiang Nian to warm himself; the soul power he emitted during cultivation was warm and could dispel the cold.
And it smelled so good, I couldn't resist taking a couple of bites.
He just affectionately tugged at the nose of the octopus-like golden retriever, then picked up a manual and started flipping through it.
It recorded the soul masters who had failed to be hunted by the Spirit Hall.
These were the tasks Qian Daoliu had given her; once they completed them, the two of them could do whatever they wanted.
Of course, they still had to be careful.
If they couldn't go back, they'd really leave Old Deng with this little golden retriever.
After several days' journey, the two arrived at a remote village.
A boy with an umbrella was arm in arm with a girl with shimmering blonde hair. Passing villagers instinctively made way for them, their eyes filled with wariness.
"Little friends, where are you going?"
"Ah? I...we're offering gifts to Lord [Feng Ling]."
"What offerings?"
The little girl didn't speak, only nodding, not daring to utter a sound.
An adult rushed over from a distance. Seeing the two dressed in fine clothes, he glanced around and then whispered, "You two should leave quickly. If Lord Feng Ling discovers you, you'll definitely be detained."
"Especially this girl..."
Jiang Nian's face darkened. He put away the booklet in his hand and said no more.
As a criminal wanted by the Spirit Hall, this Spirit Master named Feng Ling had raped and murdered more than a dozen girls, a heinous crime.
However, when five Spirit Kings were sent to capture him, the attempt failed.
His whereabouts were unknown, so the case was shelved and ignored.
Qian Renxue stared at the adult beside her, a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice. "Uncle, this guy's crimes are heinous. Why didn't you report him to the Spirit Hall or the officials of the Heaven Dou Empire?"
"Report him?" The old man was clearly taken aback, then shook his head dismissively. "They did, but their entire family was wiped out."
"Officials and bandits colluded. In our village, once you enter, you're not allowed to leave."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't be stuck here..."
The little blond-haired boy paused, watching his departing figure, hesitant to speak.
Looking at Jiang Nian, his cheeks flushed crimson, and he awkwardly fidgeted with his fingers.
"Xiaoxue, with so many branches of the Spirit Hall, it's normal for some corrupt people to appear. The world is full of people chasing after profit; these are things we can't stop."
"You don't need to blame yourself too much."
Qian Renxue hummed in agreement, then clenched her small pink fists, gritting her teeth.
She wished she could kill that bastard right now.
"Let's go find that guy."
"Okay!" ...
In a luxuriously decorated room, a portly middle-aged man was surrounded by women, with several maids feeding him. He looked completely blissful; one might mistake him for the emperor of one of the two great empires.
Beside him lay a long whip, seemingly for punishment.
The girls dared not speak out, but dared not disobey the man either, for that would only bring them a worse fate.
Bang!
The door was kicked open, and Qian Renxue entered the room. Looking at the debauched beast, her anger surged instantly.
His body was enough to refine a hundred pounds of oil, while the girls serving him were emaciated.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue could no longer restrain herself.
"Feng Ling, die!"
Instantly activating her martial soul, she swiftly transformed into a streak of light, charging towards Feng Ling.
"Soul Emperor?!"
"Damn it! What have I ever done to you?!"
The man hurriedly pushed aside the maid beside him, activating his martial soul and trying to run outside.
However, he was only at the Soul King level; how could he possibly defeat Qian Renxue?
After being stabbed in the body, he died without understanding how this person had discovered him.
Jiang Nian, seeing the girls huddled together in fear, felt quite helpless.
While the guy was still conscious, Qian Renxue ruthlessly crushed his demonic orb.
Jiang Nian felt a sudden pain upon seeing this and turned away, no longer looking.
The well-educated little golden retriever was inherently righteous and hated evil; if he hadn't been unable to think of a better way to torture him, he would have already skinned the guy alive.
After leaving them some gold soul coins, Jiang Nian collected all the zero-value wealth and quietly left with Qian Renxue.
Not long after, they arrived at the Spirit Hall branch.
Upon entering, they saw a banquet being held inside.
"Who goes there?!"
Jiang Nian took out the Pope's Decree and slammed it down in front of them.
The leader picked it up and, upon seeing it, immediately knelt on the ground, his mind blank.
"You...you are His Highness the Holy Son?"
"Yes."
The others followed suit, lowering their heads in fear, unable to look him in the eye.
Jiang Nian glanced at them, his face expressionless. "Not bad, a small branch hall actually has seven or eight Soul Venerables and two Soul Masters."
"That's equivalent to two or three branch halls in other regions."
"And this box is full of gold soul coins, right?"
Jiang Nian opened it and couldn't help but sneer.
Not bad, really not bad.
They're even better at making money than he, the Holy Son.
"No... this subordinate doesn't know who put the gold soul coins in my box!"
"So you admit this is your box?!"
Jiang Nian was too lazy to waste words with them, freezing them directly, his gaze sweeping towards the trembling Martial Soul Son Hall Master at the door.
"There's a problem in the area you manage."
"Resolve it for me now."
"Otherwise, you'll have to repent in your next life."
*Snap*
Jiang Nian snapped his fingers, and all those people turned into ice powder and disappeared, leaving not even a trace of their bodies.
"Holy... Holy Son, I guarantee I'll give you a satisfactory answer!"
Qian Renxue snorted coldly and left with Jiang Nian.
They'd only just begun their journey and already encountered so many dark things; one could only imagine how corrupt and depraved things would become.
The two entered a love hotel. The little blond boy lay on the bed, still sulking.
Looking at Jiang Nian standing there, he immediately wanted to bully him.
"Come here!"
