Chapter 235: Su Yun's Fury
"Yes, Your Eminence."
In the Martial Soul Hall, Ghost Douluo knelt on one knee: "I believe there is an eighty percent chance that Tang San has already obtained the inheritance of the Sea God."
In order to find the person who had received the Sea God's inheritance, the people from the Pope Hall and the Worship Hall teamed up for the first time, deploying their spies along all the coasts of the Douluo Continent.
This included Qian Renxue, who utilized her status as a prince to position officials along the coast of the Tiandou Empire as part of the operation to search for those coming from and going to the Sea God Island.
Although Tang San was suspicious of the Martial Soul Hall, he had no suspicions about the Tiandou Empire at this time.
Therefore, when he appeared openly along the coast, he was immediately discovered.
For this trip to the Sea God Island, Tang San still used the ship provided by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
And the scene where he used the Heart of the Sea God to conceal the ship was also discovered by the spies of the Martial Soul Hall hiding in the shadows.
Eventually, these spies also connected with a group of other spies who, though they had not landed on the Sea God Island, were nearby, and recognized the ship used by Tang San.
"The only outsider who could have entered the Sea God Island during this period is Tang San alone," Ghost Douluo said in a low voice. "That kid..."
Before Ghost Douluo could finish, Bibi Dong interrupted him, and her face was not looking good at the moment.
"It seems that there's a reason why Tang San has been able to improve so much over these years," Bibi Dong recalled Tang San's performance at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition, where he was indeed very strong. At that time, Bibi Dong had already considered Tang San a major threat in the future. If he wasn't dealt with soon, he would become a serious problem.
It's a pity that if it weren't for her disciple Su Yun intervening, saying he wanted to resolve it personally in two years, she would probably have taken action on the spot.
"Your Eminence, what should we do now?" Ghost Douluo asked with a slight squint. "The Grand Worship had once commanded that we must not act against the Haotian Sect."
"Now that Tang Hao has died, we have no reason to dispatch troops against the Haotian Sect."
"As for the Sea God Island, as far as I know, they have been waiting for the emergence of a Sea God inheritor for hundreds of years. If Tang San really is the Sea God inheritor, they will likely do everything to stop us."
Ghost Douluo and the other titled Douluos were naturally aware of the existence of the Sea God Island.
Even in his younger days, he had visited the Sea God Island and fought with those Sea Soul Masters, although they were evenly matched.
However, he was fortunate enough to have met the woman known as the Grand Priestess of the Sea God Island.
Ghost Douluo had to admit that she was one of the few women in this world who could stand on equal footing with the woman before him, the Pope.
Noble, powerful! At that time, Ghost Douluo was very clear that if he fought with her, there was only one outcome: death.
Later on, their Martial Soul Hall had even dispatched two thousand soul masters in an attempt to turn that place into a place of worship for their Martial Soul Hall.
However, in the end, only less than a hundred soul masters returned alive, and the greatest loss was the death of two titled Douluos.
"That woman is indeed a problem..." Bibi Dong recalled the figure of the white-haired woman in her mind. Her strength was as profound as that of the old man in the Worship Hall, both having been at the ninety-ninth level of soul power for many years, extremely powerful.
Now, to defeat that woman, she would need to pass the eighth trial of the Rakshasa God to bring her own strength to its peak.
Bibi Dong's mind flickered with the image of Su Yun, and her hand involuntarily clenched slightly.
Although she was willing to pay any price to ascend to godhood, when it really came to doing such a thing, she also hesitated.
However, after only a brief pause, she looked at Ghost Douluo again and asked, "Elder Gui, where is the Holy Son Su Yun now?"
"Reporting to Your Eminence, the Holy Son is currently undergoing trials abroad and has not yet returned," Ghost Douluo replied.
Bibi Dong said, "Find him and tell him to come back; I have important matters to inform him of."
"Yes."
Ghost Douluo didn't quite understand why Bibi Dong suddenly summoned Su Yun back, but he nodded in agreement and then asked, "Your Eminence, about the Sea God Island, should we..."
"It doesn't matter, with Tang San's current strength at the Soul King level, he probably hasn't even passed half of the Sea God inheritance."
"I already have a plan in mind, your task now is to bring Su Yun back as soon as possible."
Seeing the Pope so confident, Ghost Douluo did not ask further and simply replied, "Yes."
After speaking, Ghost Douluo disappeared within the Pope Hall.
"How about it, can't wait to 'enjoy' your little disciple now?" The moment Ghost Douluo's presence vanished, a voice indistinguishable in tone from Bibi Dong's echoed in her mind, although it sounded chilling.
"Shut up!"
Bibi Dong's face darkened as she rebuked in her mind, "If that Haotian Sect kid becomes a god before I do, he'll probably target me first."
"Besides, do you really want to see the Sea God pass the godhood to him first?"
"Hehe, you do have a point."
"It's rare for you to be so proactive this time, but if you're too shy, you can let me take over your body when the time comes."
The voice was temptingly persuasive, "Your little disciple is becoming more and more enticing to me. Instead of trying to pass the eighth trial in a rush, why not let me have my way with him..."
"Get lost!"
Bibi Dong yelled, and the owner of the voice in her mind laughed loudly before gradually fading away.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong stared at the ceiling, muttering to herself, "I'm sorry, Su Yun, I am forced to do this..."
...
"Elder Gui, you're saying Tang San is actually the inheritor of the Sea God?" Su Yun, shocked by the news Ghost Douluo relayed to him, showed a stunned expression.
Su Yun's shock was not so much about Tang San being the inheritor, but about how the Spirit Hall was able to track Tang San's movements in such a short time!
This demonstrated the strength of the Spirit Hall's intelligence network.
However, when he learned that the Worship Hall, the Spirit Hall, and Qian Renxue had secretly sent people to assist, he breathed a sigh of relief.
With such a team, it was normal to track down Tang San.
"That's right, Holy Son, Her Eminence has ordered me to bring you back, as there are important matters to inform you of," Ghost Douluo said respectfully.
Ghost Douluo's respect for Su Yun was growing; the latter's age and strength had already made him the foremost among the young generation on the Douluo Continent. Although Tang San had emerged as a formidable contender with his first two soul rings being ten-thousand-year soul rings, it did not affect Su Yun's standing in Ghost Douluo's heart.
Even Ghost Douluo had heard through the grapevine that the Grand Elder of the Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu, intended to marry his granddaughter to the Holy Son Su Yun.
This almost assured that the offspring of Su Yun and Miss Qian Renxue would be candidates for the next Pope of the Spirit Hall.
"The teacher called me back?" Although Su Yun did not know why Bibi Dong was so urgently summoning him back, since she had sent Ghost Douluo personally to fetch him, it must be for something important.
Without much thought, Su Yun returned to the Spirit Hall with Ghost Douluo.
After meeting with Bibi Dong, she only exchanged a few words with Ghost Douluo before sending him away.
Then, in the Pope Hall, only Su Yun and Bibi Dong remained.
"Su Yun, I believe you are already aware of the matter with Tang San of the Haotian Sect," Bibi Dong said, her voice slightly heavy, seemingly tinged with anger.
Indeed, Bibi Dong had initially planned to directly eliminate the newly inherited Sea God contender on the battlefield, but her own disciple had intervened.
Although this disciple was 'unaware' of the full context, the fact remained that the major threat had now fled to the Sea God Island.
Now, dealing with this problem had become exponentially more difficult for the Spirit Hall!
At least, without Qian Daoliu's intervention, the chances of success were less than thirty percent.
"It's all my fault," Su Yun knew that apologizing was the best option at this moment, understanding the reason behind Bibi Dong's accusatory tone, "Please give me time, teacher. In the competition two years from now, I will surely defeat Su Yun."
Su Yun was confident in himself, even though Tang San had the full support of the Sea God Island, he also had the inheritance given by the Time God.
Thus, Su Yun was not afraid of Tang San.
However, while he thought well, Bibi Dong was unwilling to wait two years.
Two years was enough time for many changes to occur.
If there had been no specific threat before, it might have been okay, but now that she was aware of a potential calamity right before her eyes and did nothing to eliminate it, it was unlike Bibi Dong to just sit and wait.
This was not Bibi Dong's style.
Beside one's bed, how can one allow others to sleep soundly?
Bibi Dong's gaze fell on the face of her most favored disciple, a flicker of emotion passing through her eyes before she seemed to take a deep breath and suddenly stood up, saying, "Su Yun, come with me."
Su Yun did not dare to delay, immediately following her.
At this moment, he knew that his teacher, Bibi Dong, was probably angry, and he should not provoke her carelessly—after all, she was not just his teacher, but also the Pope of the Spirit Hall!
Following Bibi Dong through several corridors, Su Yun realized they were heading towards a path he had never seen before.
Having been in the Spirit Hall for nearly ten years, Su Yun had been to almost every part of it, except for the Worship Hall which he seldom visited.
Yet today, everything seemed very unfamiliar.
Where was this?
Before Su Yun could ponder further, Bibi Dong's voice suddenly drifted into his ears from up ahead, "Su Yun, when you told me you had received the inheritance of the Time God, I was actually very pleased, because it meant you were not only a genius but also a lucky one. To have a disciple like you is the glory of my lifetime, Bibi Dong."
"But today, I must do something that goes against the ethics of a master."
As she spoke, Su Yun suddenly saw Bibi Dong, who was facing away from him, unexpectedly shed the Pope's robe she was wearing, revealing her exquisitely shaped body to Su Yun's eyes.
Su Yun's eyes widened in shock; he had not expected Bibi Dong to do such a thing in front of him.
But in just an instant, Su Yun's mind raced, immediately recalling a certain Chamber Douluo from the original work.
Su Yun then realized, this was a secret room!
Could it be...
Su Yun's eyes shook, suddenly thinking of a possibility!
Because he knew that Bibi Dong's Rakshasa God's trial had not yet been completed!
"Teacher, you..."
Su Yun hadn't finished speaking when Bibi Dong turned around, interrupting him, and continued, "Actually, I, too, am a recipient of a godly inheritance. Now, my godly status has also reached the stage of the eighth trial, so no matter what, I must pass this divine trial."
Although Su Yun was normally bold, he was somewhat reluctant to directly look at Bibi Dong's body, giving off a sense of the fox admiring the dragon.
At this moment, Su Yun had also guessed what the content of Bibi Dong's divine trial might be.
What was this?
The inheritance of the Chamber Douluo?
Was the divine trial of the Rakshasa God really such an uninteresting thing?
"Teacher, you're not going to..." Su Yun seemed to be confirming his own inner answer.
"Correct." Bibi Dong's face showed a hint of blush.
However, it was only for a moment; her blush suddenly disappeared, replaced by a dark green color flooding her pupils.
Catching Bibi Dong's transformation, Su Yun's expression suddenly changed: "You are..."
"Hehe, Su Yun, don't you recognize your teacher anymore?" Bibi Dong's tone suddenly changed drastically, and even a fool like Su Yun could realize that the Bibi Dong before him was not herself.
"Are you treating me like a fool or yourself?" Su Yun's gaze was indifferent. "If I'm not mistaken, you must be the deity who imparted the godly position to my teacher, right?"
"Very smart." Bibi Dong's face showed a charming smile, "I really like clever little guys like you."
"Let me introduce myself, I am the Rakshasa God, one of the two great evil deities governing sinister thoughts."
"I know you, Rakshasa God, Asura God; someone once told me about you on the road to Hell."
Su Yun's gaze turned cold: "But this is no reason for you to impose such an eighth trial on my teacher."
Although Su Yun did not consider himself a good person, he had little tolerance for a deity like the Rakshasa God who purely used divine trials to torment someone like Bibi Dong, who had been hurt by the Chamber Douluo.
Facing her, he could not muster much civility.
"Looking at your face, do you really want to strike me?"
The Rakshasa God, seeing Su Yun's darkening expression, scoffed, "Don't forget, I'm using the body of your beloved teacher. Would you really bear to strike your teacher?"
"Heh, relying on a mere divine consciousness to temporarily stay in my teacher's mind, what are you really!" Su Yun coldly shouted, as the power left in him by the Time God surged like a tide!
