Chapter 45: vs Elders

Walking outside of Bibi Dong's personal chamber, Nian Zhen was greeted by Gui Mei and Yue Guan.

"Don't disturb her. She is resting with her daughter. Bring me to Old Man Qian." Nian Zhen said, as he looked faintly at the two.

"Her eminence is r-resting with h-her daughter!!?" The two shouted in unison with disbelief in their voice.

"If you do not want to die, just do as I say." Nian Zhen said with immense pressure, equivalent to that of a limit douluo coming out of his body.

The two, who were present in the battle that took place some hours before, were obviously shocked again. They were not wrong Nian Zhen, though was still a Spirit Emperor, was way stronger than them. Even Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu may not have such coercion.

"Y-Yes. Come." The two nodded rapidly, not wanting to offend Nian Zhen. As Gui Mei was the one who lost in Rock, Paper and Scissor, he was the one who led the way. Nian Zhen warned Yue Guan that nobody should be allowed to enter the room. Let the two have their own time for now.

Walking out of Supreme Pontiff Hall, Nian Zhen was brought to the Elder hall. Countless cold gazes penetrated Nian Zhen. If it was a normal person, they would have already frozen to death from those cold gazes. But Nian Zhen ignored them directly. Walking towards the center of the hall, Nian Zhen was greeted by another big door, similar to that from the Supreme Pontiff Hall but with different patterns and designs.

"T-This is as far as I can take you.." Gui Mei said respectfully, with visible fear in his tone.

"Hmm..You can go back. Guard the room. And, if they ask where I have gone when they have woken up, tell them I have gone for a stroll." Nian Zhen said indifferently.

Nodding respectfully, Gui Mei disappeared as Nian Zhen slowly opened the door. As soon as that, two figures directly attacked Nian Zhen. The two were Falling Devil Douluo and Fifteen Ton Douluo.

The two attacked Nian Zhen together. But Nian Zhen dodged it easily by jumping in the air. The attack could not even hit the afterimage of Nian Zhen.

"Just two think they can deal with me?" Nian Zhen said coldly. Scanning his surroundings Nian Zhen felt multiple presence in the room.

"You.." The two brothers were obviously furious from Nian Zhen's statement. But Nian Zhen was too lazy to care about them.

"Come out. I don't like when you just hide and wait for me to find you." Nian Zhen said indifferently.

"Hmm. You are stronger than we thought. But you have the bravery to dare and come into the Spirit Hall when you are a dark spirit master, I praise you for that. Buy, this is the end. Even if you are strong, you cannot escape from so many Titled Douluo" An old voice came from the shadows as a man with golden armor and robe came out. Following him, another titled douluo came out of the shadows one by one.

"Enough with the chit chat. Say your names. Let's get this over with already." Nian Zhen said boredly.

"..." A long silence spread around the hall. Every Douluo were twitching their cheeks listening to Nian Zhen. He may be the first person to be so calm in front of so many strong men.

"Ohh! Where have my manners gone. I should be introducing myself. I am Ying Yun, the patriarch of the 'Ancient Forge Clan'.." Nian Zhen said, with a bright smile on his face.

"Ancient Forge Clan...?" Said another man, seemingly in his thirties as he looked strangely at Nian Zhen. This person was the strongest among them all, a limit douluo having the strength of a demigod.

"Ahem...We are the Spirit Hall's elders and priests-"

"I know that. I am asking for your name or title." Nian Zhen said, interrupting the old man in golden robes.

"Brat, the dead need not need to know such things. You are not qualified." The man said with a hint of displeasure in his voice.

"Or am I? Limbo: Hengoku.." Nian Zhen said, faintly opening his eyes. After that slight phrase 4 shadows, with similar appearance as that of Nian Zhen appeared in the world of wheel graves. Unable to notice them, all of the elders and priests attacked Nian Zhen only to be stopped by some invisible thing they could not harm or perceive.

Nian Zhen had ordered his shadows to only harm the elders to a near state of death but not to actually kill them. If killed, it will be only easier for Tang san and his group to achieve strong power.

As each of them released their own domains to counterattack the hidden enemies, Qian Daoliu arrived in front of Nian Zhen.

"Ohh it's an honor to meet you, Lord Qian Daoliu." Nian Zhen said, without a hint of respect in his tone.

"Hmph. A lowly Dark Spirit Master can achieve such strength. I am surprised. How many innocents have you killed to get this far." Qian Daoliu said, with a chilling coldness in his tone.

"Guess? Even if I say I am not a dark spirit master or I have killed 0 innocent, you won't believe me? What is the use?" Nian Zhen shrugged.

"And as far as my Archangel soul goes, even the Angel Gods ancestor would not be eligible to know about it." Nian Zhen said. This was what Enron had told him.

"Insolence…"

"Courting Death? You Dare? Arrogant? I am tired of that shit. Say something new. I don't care anyway." Nian Zhen said.

Looking at Nian Zhen being so arrogant in front of him, Qian Daoliu no longer talked. Bringing out his own domain, Qian Daoliu brought out his martial soul and spirit rings.

"Woo Flashy.." Nian Zhen commented, causing Qian Daoliu's brows to twitch.

"Let's get this started~" Nian Zhen added.

Back at Bibi Dong's room.

Some time after Nian Zhen's departure, Bibi Dong had woken up only to find her daughter hugging her as she slept soundly. A hint of confusion flashed on her eyes as she found herself in an awkward situation. Qian Renxue did not do this knowingly. She just found a warm and soothing aura near her while she was sleeping so she ended up hugging Bibi Dong.

Not knowing what to do, Bibi Dong was in a dilemma. As she tried to call for Nian Zhen she found that he had gone missing. As soon as Nian Zhen's figure appeared in her mind, a sharp blush spread from her face to her snow white neck and ears due to embarrassment as she remembered what happened.

Calming herself down, she found that Qian Renxue was slightly shaking. Opening her half asleep eyes, Qian Renxue saw that she was hugging Bibi Dong tightyly. A blush appeared on her face as she looked at Bibi Dong looking at her awkwardly.

"Ah...Uhmm...S-Sorry." Qian Renxue said, hiding her face and moving away from Bibi Dong. Calming herself down, She said, " Where is he?"

"This..I do not know. Gui Mei, Yue Guan." Bibi Dong called her subordinates. Two shadows appeared in the room and bowed at her respectfully while glancing at Qian Renxue strangely.

"Where is he?" Bibi Dong asked with an emotionless voice.

"Her E-Eminence. He has gone out for a stroll and asked us to look after your room." The two said truthfully yet it was a lie.

"You dare to lie." A cold voice came out of Bibi Dong's mouth as she released a powerful pressure on the two.

"W-We ask for forgiveness. But he said not to tell…"

"Are you defying me and obeying him??" Bibi Dong said with a murderous intent.

"We dare not. He..he has gone to the elder hall."

"Oh no! Grandfather won't spare him." Qian Renxue said, suddenly rushing out of the room immediately.

Looking at her daughter go, Bibi Dong did not waste time and immediately stood up. "Come with me for now. I will deal with you later." Bibi Dong said coldly as she rushed towards her daughter's direction.
