"All the major powers will also test Spirit Hall. And if Spirit Hall maintains its usual arrogance, they will certainly try to suppress those soul master clans, but..."
"But what?"
"Xue Qinghe" asked urgently.
She could hardly wait any longer.
Even if acting like this would surely make Dan Heng suspicious that she wasn't the real "Xue Qinghe".
"It'll only get worse. After so much planning, there's no way those rebels will give in so easily. You say they've gone to the Star Luo Empire? Then it's very likely they're forming an alliance. If Spirit Hall still tries to use force to suppress them, it'll end in a total split."
"The Star Luo Empire wouldn't allow Spirit Hall to rge with them either."
Dan Heng shook his head. In his view, the split of Spirit Hall was already inevitable—none of the powers would want Spirit Hall to regain its forr strength.
A fragnted Spirit Hall was the best kind of Spirit Hall!
"Xue Qinghe's" face turned pale as she realized the predicant Spirit Hall was now in.
She bit her lip, her eyes wavering, full of remorse.
If only she had valued Dan Heng more, things wouldn't have gotten to this point!
In the end, it was all her own negligence!
"Mr. Dan Heng, then... if Spirit Hall wants to minimize losses, what should we do?"
"Xue Qinghe" asked earnestly.
At this point, she wasn't even trying to keep up the act anymore.
Ziji, who was feeding firewood into the stove nearby, raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "Blondie, you're the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. Why are you so concerned about Spirit Hall?"
"..."
"Xue Qinghe" shook her head slightly and didn't answer.
Dan Heng said, "Let the Angel Clan step forward and beco the new Pope. That way, both sides can avoid conflict."
"..."
"Xue Qinghe" opened her mouth, even more frustrated.
Right now, the Angel Clan only had her and Qian Daoliu left!
Neither of them could return as Pope, so was Spirit Hall destined to break apart?
"No, isn't there any other way, Mr. Dan Heng..."
"Xue Qinghe" stepped forward and grabbed Dan Heng's arm, her eyes glistening with tears as she looked at him hopefully.
Ziji imdiately stood up and pulled "Xue Qinghe" away.
"Talk if you want, but don't go grabbing him!"
"Xue Qinghe" bit her lip and looked helplessly at Dan Heng.
Dan Heng shook his head. "To split at this mont, and to be so thoroughly prepared... even if they've united all the soul master clans, the ability to rally them so effectively—if that person has ambition, then aside from the thod I ntioned, there's no other solution. The longer this drags on, the harder it'll be to reunite."
"!!!"
"Xue Qinghe's" face changed drastically. She couldn't wait any longer and imdiately turned to leave.
"I... I have to go!"
Watching her hurried figure, Ziji muttered, "She's rushing like mad. If I didn't know better, I'd think she was from Spirit Hall herself!"
——
"Xue Qinghe" had received Dan Heng's advice.
She didn't even pause for a mont before rushing back to Spirit Hall.
She resud her female identity, that of Qian Renxue—the Angel Clan's young mistress—and hurried into the great hall, but was denied entry.
The two sides nearly clashed before she forced her way in.
As soon as she entered, Qian Renxue froze, staring dumbfounded at Bibi Dong, who was floating in the air.
At that mont, Bibi Dong was completely naked, her flawless jade-like body exposed to the air.
Every part of her was stunningly beautiful, impossible to look away from.
Even Qian Renxue had to admit Bibi Dong's beauty was unmatched.
Bibi Dong was surrounded by a haze of purple mist, partially veiling her, adding to the allure.
Qian Renxue was full of suspicion as she looked below Bibi Dong—at the woman standing there. It was the God of Rakshasa.
"Who are you? Why are you..."
The Rakshasa God smiled faintly. "I am the Rakshasa God, Bibi Dong's patron deity. You've arrived at just the right ti. Now—"
Before she could finish, another figure burst in.
It was Hu Liena.
"Teacher! Why wouldn't you let in..." Hu Liena's voice cut off abruptly as she saw the scene inside and froze as well.
The Rakshasa God glanced at both won and snorted coldly:
"If not for Bibi Dong's sake, you two barging in here with no respect for a god—I would've killed you both already!"
Though she didn't unleash her divine pressure, as a first-level evil god, her presence was still overwhelmingly oppressive.
The more spiritually sensitive soone was, the more they could feel the sheer malice emanating from her.
Qian Renxue and Hu Liena both couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.
"Divine One... what's wrong with Bibi Dong?" Qian Renxue asked in confusion.
Hu Liena looked equally worried.
"This pathetic woman ended up like this because of a man. Now, she needs a key—soone who can unlock the shackles in her heart."
"Who among you is capable of bringing a man nad Dan Heng here?"
"He's the only one who might help Bibi Dong recover. If not, she'll be a cripple for the rest of her life!"
The Rakshasa God said coldly.
Hu Liena asked, puzzled, "Why Dan Heng? What about Yu Xiaogang? I heard he was her first love..."
Qian Renxue frowned. "What does this have to do with Mr. Dan Heng?"
The Rakshasa God's gaze turned icy, glaring at the two won.
"Bibi Dong's heart now holds uncertainty toward only one man—Dan Heng. As for Yu Xiaogang? Hah. He's the reason she beca like this. If you bring him, fine!"
The Rakshasa God said coldly, "I will only remain here for one day. If Dan Heng isn't brought here to resolve Bibi Dong's issue, I don't care if she lives or dies!"
"!!!"
Hu Liena and Qian Renxue were both shocked and didn't dare say another word. They hurriedly left.
——
That night.
Yu Xiaogang was dragged over by Hu Liena.
But they were stopped at the entrance.
"Nana, why did you bring to Spirit Hall? Did sothing happen? I... I've got so history with Spirit Hall. If people see ..."
Yu Xiaogang's voice was nervous, and he wore a black scarf over his face.
He was the one who gave Bibi Dong the strategy that led to Spirit Hall's division.
If Spirit Hall's soul masters saw him, wouldn't they kill him?
If Hu Liena hadn't practically dragged him here, he would rather die than see Bibi Dong again!
"My tea—Her Holiness is facing so issues and needs your help, Master. You must help her unlock her heart."
Hu Liena didn't explain Bibi Dong's condition, only asking Yu Xiaogang for help.
Yu Xiaogang looked at her in confusion. "Nana... how do you even know about this? Besides, I—I can't face Bibi Dong. She might kill !"
Yu Xiaogang resisted, unwilling to enter the hall.
Hu Liena tried to push him in by force.
At that mont, a voice stopped her.
"Enough! Get that man out of here!" A clear female voice rang out—Qian Renxue had returned with Dan Heng.
By now, night had fully fallen.
Dan Heng had been pulled from his bed for this.
He originally didn't want to bother, but Qian Renxue had knelt in his courtyard, kowtowing non-stop until he finally agreed to co.
It was then that he saw Qian Renxue's true face.
Zhu Zhuqing and the others were shocked speechless.
Out of consideration for their long-standing acquaintance, Gu Yuena didn't make things difficult for Qian Renxue and allowed Dan Heng to leave with her.
And so, they ca together.
"You all wait here. Mr. Dan Heng and I will go in first," Qian Renxue said directly.
Hu Liena objected, "Why? The Master was once—"
"Once what? Just the pathetic man who ruined her! Besides, that divine being already said—it must be Mr. Dan Heng! Get him out of here! If it weren't for those three idiotic strategies he gave her, would Spirit Hall have ended up like this?"
Qian Renxue's eyes were red as she glared fiercely at Yu Xiaogang, the killing intent in her gaze palpable.
Yu Xiaogang was so frightened he stepped back twice, not daring to make a sound.
He dared to act arrogant toward Bibi Dong because he knew she would never hurt him.
But Qian Renxue was different—her eyes looked like she really wanted him dead!
Hu Liena was speechless, and could only stay outside with Yu Xiaogang.
Dan Heng and Qian Renxue entered the grand hall together.
The door closed once more.
Yu Xiaogang looked at their backs and shook his head. "No, Nana, we should leave. The people here misunderstand too deeply..."
"Stay here!" Hu Liena said coldly.
Yu Xiaogang was startled, inexplicably feeling a bit afraid of Hu Liena.
Seeing his reaction, Hu Liena also felt so contempt for him in her heart.
No wonder Qian Renxue just now couldn't see him in a positive light...
...
Inside the hall.
As soon as Dan Heng entered, his gaze landed on Bibi Dong, suspended in the air.
He happened to see her long, exposed legs and imdiately looked down.
"Is this body beautiful?"
A teasing voice sounded.
The Rakshasa God appeared before Dan Heng and Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue's face flushed red, revealing a look of extre anger.
"You... you've gone too far! This is... this is..." Qian Renxue was fuming with rage.
The Rakshasa God wasn't just humiliating Bibi Dong by putting her in such a lewd pose—
She was also flirting with Mr. Dan Heng!
To her, this was double the offense!
The Rakshasa God said indifferently, "What's wrong? Who are you angry for? Mr. Dan Heng? Don't tell you like him too?"
"...I don't!" Qian Renxue shouted angrily.
"Then why so anxious?"
The Rakshasa God moved close to Qian Renxue, lifting her chin. "You really don't like him? Tell the truth. Who knows, I might help you realize that wish. After all, I am a god..."
Qian Renxue stared blankly at the Rakshasa God, montarily tongue-tied.
"Are you provoking ?"Dan Heng suddenly spoke.
He looked calmly at the Rakshasa God, neither happy nor angry.
"..."
The Rakshasa God paused, then suddenly withdrew her hand and took two steps back. "No, not at all. I'm simply offering Mr. Dan Heng a greeting gift. Bibi Dong is a peerless beauty, is she not? Don't you enjoy admiring such beauty? Most n wouldn't be able to resist."
"I wanted to express goodwill, so I let this exquisite body present itself to you freely. You may look at any part you wish. Here..."
She snapped her fingers, and Bibi Dong changed position again—this ti kneeling on all fours. Her smooth back, her full, rounded...
Even more enticing.
Qian Renxue turned beet red at the sight, too angry to speak.
But Dan Heng didn't even glance at the suspended Bibi Dong.
To him, all of this was like throwing flirtation at a blind man.
"Please stop doing that."
Dan Heng said seriously.
"...?" The Rakshasa God was taken aback, looking at Dan Heng.
She had actually been observing him since the mont he stepped into the hall.
From the very beginning, she sensed that Dan Heng was different.
But she couldn't figure out why.
Even now, face to face, she still couldn't tell...
Qian Renxue, standing beside Dan Heng, was starting to feel worried for him after hearing how blunt he was being toward a god.
"Mr. Dan Heng, can you tell —who exactly are you?" the Rakshasa God asked.
"???" Qian Renxue was stunned. Why would the Rakshasa God ask such a thing?
To her, Mr. Dan Heng was just Mr. Dan Heng. Who else could he be?
Why didn't she know?
She looked at Dan Heng, dumbfounded, and suddenly realized—there might be so earth-shattering secret about him that she didn't know.
After all, how could soone who draws such attention from a god possibly be just an ordinary person with no spirit power?
"What do you want to do?" Dan Heng asked directly.
He had never t this Rakshasa God before.
Or rather, the one he had seen in the past was the previous Rakshasa God, who was apparently accidentally injured during a siege against him.
Back then, he wasn't familiar with the power levels of the gods—so it was inevitable that a few got hurt.
The current Rakshasa God was the successor.
Within the inheritance of the divine position, perhaps there were fragnts of mory related to him.
The Rakshasa God sighed, "Forget it. Since you won't tell , let's get started. Mr. Dan Heng, just cooperate with . Just imagine yourself in a situation—how would you choose?"
With that, she waved her hand. Divine power stirred.
A purple mist that had surrounded Bibi Dong transford into a scene.
It was a mory from the past—Bibi Dong when she was still young, having mutual affection with Yu Xiaogang, falling in love.
Qian Renxue was shocked. "Why...?"
She had no idea Bibi Dong had once had such a romantic experience.
Soon, the first emotional crisis appeared.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan ordered Yu Xiaogang to stay away from Bibi Dong.
"If it were you, Mr. Dan Heng, what would you do? Don't lie—answer from your heart. I can detect lies," the Rakshasa God said.
Dan Heng frowned slightly. "Total imrsion? Including emotions?"
"Of course. It has to be realistic."
The Rakshasa God nodded.
"Then of course I wouldn't agree to it," Dan Heng said, shaking his head. If he were the type to follow rules and hesitate in fear, he would never have ended up with the title of a tenfold sinner.
"Good... It's a pity that in Bibi Dong's mory, Yu Xiaogang did distance himself for a ti. It was only because she kept pursuing him that she finally moved his heart..."
The Rakshasa God shook her head, sighing as if regretful—but the smile on her face was full of schadenfreude.
Qian Renxue was dumbfounded, unable to make sense of it.
How did Bibi Dong ever fall for Yu Xiaogang?
She even chased after him?
What kind of charm did Yu Xiaogang possibly have?
Soon, another wave of turbulence struck their relationship...
