Blazing with rage, Qian Daoliu nearly lost control and attacked on the spot.
He took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the fury churning inside him.
After all, Bibi Dong was the Pope of Spirit Hall, and more importantly, Xue'er's mother. He couldn't let Xue'er lose her mother.
However, Bibi Dong looked at Qian Daoliu, whose eyes were already bloodshot with anger, and her smile became increasingly manic.
"Qian Daoliu, do you know your current expression is absolutely priceless!"
"Knowing that your only grandson is dead—how hopeless does that make you feel? Hahahahaha!!!"
"I can still remember exactly how he looked before he died! Those eyes of his looked just like your precious son's."
"Watching him die was such a satisfying release!!"
Bibi Dong's words stabbed at Qian Daoliu's nerves, pushing his emotions past the brink.
Finally, Qian Daoliu could no longer hold back. An overwhelming surge of soul power burst out in an instant, and soul rings appeared behind him. His seventh ring lit up.
He directly used his seventh soul skill—Martial Soul True Body: Angelic Descent!
In that moment, Qian Daoliu radiated blinding holy light.
Six dazzling golden angel wings unfurled behind him.
The immense pressure from his presence engulfed the entire Spirit Hall.
He raised his right hand. Blazing holy light gathered, then a golden beam of light shot out from his palm, streaking straight toward Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong laughed wildly, her figure flickering like a ghost as she darted away.
The golden light barely missed her, not even scratching her, but the hall behind her wasn't so lucky—it was blasted through, leaving a massive hole.
Bibi Dong mocked, "Qian Daoliu, you think you can kill me like that? Hahahaha…"
Her laughter rang with both madness and confidence, as if she wasn't the slightest bit worried about Qian Daoliu's threat.
Qian Daoliu's expression darkened further. His heart was filled with fury, warped and twisted by his anger.
"Bibi Dong, don't think I can't kill you," Qian Daoliu said coldly. "If I truly set my mind to it, even your ninth soul skill couldn't save you!"
"Oh, is that so?"
Bibi Dong laughed arrogantly, puffing out her chest without fear. "Go ahead, Qian Daoliu. Kill me and avenge your grandson. But once you do, Qian Renxue will only have you left. Hahahaha…"
Her laughter echoed through the air, laced with a chilling cruelty.
Bibi Dong's words made Qian Daoliu's heart clench, his gaze flickering uncertainly.
He understood—if he really killed Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue would lose her mother.
Although Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong didn't have a good relationship now, he couldn't be sure whether killing Bibi Dong would damage his relationship with Qian Renxue in the future...
As Qian Daoliu stared at the hysterically laughing Bibi Dong, the image of Qian Renxue crying flashed through his mind.
He gave up.
Qian Daoliu took a deep breath and dispelled his Martial Soul True Body.
He didn't say another word to Bibi Dong and turned to leave.
There was another, even more important reason why he didn't kill her.
Qian Daoliu knew very well—the angel successor was still alive.
That meant his grandson was actually still alive.
Bibi Dong had lied!
Or maybe she thought she had killed him but failed for some unknown reason.
Whatever the case, Qian Daoliu was certain—his grandson was still alive!
There was no need to waste any more time with Bibi Dong.
From now on, he only needed to find his grandson.
He couldn't help but worry—after being abandoned by his mother all those years ago, what kind of life had the child been living?
Qian Daoliu's heart ached.
That grandson's talent had to surpass even Qian Renxue's. Otherwise, how could he have awakened the Angel Martial Soul even faster than she did?
But all these years, without the Spirit Hall's resources to support him, life must've been extremely difficult...
Sigh, the child must have suffered greatly.
...
As Bibi Dong watched Qian Daoliu leave, the pleasure of revenge surged within her.
This was the feeling she had longed for!
That look of Qian Daoliu's—shock, rage, and finally helpless resignation—it all brought Bibi Dong immense satisfaction.
It had been so many years!
After suffering humiliation in the Qian Clan for so long, she had finally taken her revenge!
So satisfying!
Just the thought of it filled Bibi Dong with joy.
Now, all she needed was Ghost Douluo to return with news, and she could obtain the remaining two hundred-thousand-year soul rings.
When the time came and she could defeat Qian Daoliu, she would exact a complete and thorough revenge on the Qian Clan!
"Just wait, Qian Daoliu. The real despair is still to come!"
Bibi Dong sneered coldly and walked toward her private chambers.
"Your Holiness, we have some supplemental information here. It concerns Honorary Elder Yu Xiaogang."
A palace maid arrived with the intel and handed it to Bibi Dong.
Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's name, Bibi Dong's eyes immediately lit up.
But once she read through the intel, her face instantly darkened.
That Xue Tianyu had not only killed Tang Hao in an instant but had also severely injured Yu Xiaogang!
Bibi Dong clenched her fists.
A dragon has a reverse scale—touch it and die!
In her entire life, Yu Xiaogang was her one true reverse scale.
And now this Xue Tianyu dared to hurt her Yu Xiaogang? Then he must pay the price!
Bibi Dong gave a cold snort, pushed open the doors to her chambers, and walked in.
"This Xue Tianyu… has already stepped onto the path of death!"
Though the time hadn't yet come, in her heart, Xue Tianyu had already been marked for death.
...
Three days later, Xue Tianyu finally arrived at Sunset Forest with Xue Di and Bing Di.
"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well… we're finally here."
The whole journey had been a blast for Bing Di.
Xue Tianyu and Xue Di were basically just her travel companions.
Looking at the immortal herbs regrown around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well since his last visit, Xue Tianyu was delighted.
Of course, he had more important business today.
At the Ice Dragon King's spring deep within the well, Xue Tianyu immediately felt the piercing cold poison in the air.
But he had already completed the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body refinement during his previous visit.
These toxins couldn't harm him.
He stepped into the spring's center and dove straight into the water without hesitation, swimming down toward the bottom.
As he went deeper, the temperature dropped sharply, but he felt nothing—as if he had merged completely with the cold.
At last, he reached the bottom and saw a massive skeletal remains—the corpse of the Ice Dragon King.
The cold air surrounding it was refined to the extreme—just a small misstep could result in frostbite.
Even Xue Tianyu had to summon his Spirit—the Ice and Snow Spirit—over his body to resist the chill.
And that was with his cold resistance maxed out.
It was obvious that no ordinary person could even approach the Ice Dragon King's remains.
Xue Tianyu circled around the skeleton a few times and finally found a soul bone radiating powerful soul energy near the left leg.
"Ice Dragon King Soul Bone!"
The soul bone was icy blue in color, exuding an exquisite, breathtaking brilliance that naturally drew the eye.
It emitted an intense chill, representing absolute frost.
A million-year Ice Dragon King Soul Bone!
