Soul Land: Exposing Tang San

Chapter 249: The Establishment of the Spirit Empire, Ah Yin and Bibi Dong's First Meeting

"Xue'er, your identity has been discovered. You can't stay in the Heaven Dou Empire any longer. Come back to the Spirit Hall with us," Qian Daoliu said, gathering with his entourage in the Spirit Hall of Heaven Dou Imperial City while recuperating. He was advising his granddaughter, who was guarding him.

Qian Renxue nodded lightly, without speaking much. She looked at her grandfather's skin, which seemed to be burned by the power of the Asura God, and bit her red lip.

Qian Daoliu saw Qian Renxue's concern for him and lovingly patted her head, smiling gently. "Silly girl, a top-tier expert who once received the Asura God's inheritance sacrificed his life just to delay us for a few hours. It's already lucky that I only got these minor injuries."

Recalling his recent battle with Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu could clearly feel that the latter's body was no longer human-shaped, probably due to the inheritance of the god.

Thinking of this, he again advised his granddaughter, who was sitting beside him, softly, "Xue'er, when you return to the Spirit Hall and undergo the Angel God's trials, you must be extremely careful."

"Although the inheritance of a god can grant you immense power, this power is also incredibly difficult to control."

"You must proceed with great caution, taking one step at a time, to truly overcome each trial set by the god."

Qian Renxue said softly, "Grandfather, don't worry. I will surpass Tang San and achieve godhood first."

She clenched her delicate fists and focused her gaze. "One day, the entire continent will bow at the feet of our Spirit Hall."

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu shook his head with a light smile, caressing Qian Renxue's cheek. He said softly, "Silly girl, when you truly attain godhood, whether the Spirit Hall exists or not will no longer matter to me. In my eyes, the Spirit Hall is nothing compared to you."

"What I truly care about is your life after ascending to the Divine Realm."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately understood Qian Daoliu's meaning.

"Goodbye, Grandfather!"

Bang!

She stood up, slammed the door, and left the room.

Leaving Qian Daoliu alone, sitting cross-legged on the bed, staring blankly at the closed door.

...

"Where's the teacher?" As soon as Qian Renxue left the room, she saw Su Yun asking the other titled Douluo about Bibi Dong's whereabouts.

Golden Crocodile Douluo replied, "Holy Son, the Pope has already returned to Spirit City. If you need anything, just tell us."

Although the Worship Hall and the Pope Hall were two factions within the Spirit Hall, Golden Crocodile Douluo had a good impression of Su Yun.

Not to mention, his talent was among the top in the entire continent.

Especially considering his recent battle with Tang San... or rather, his crushing of Tang San.

He used various combat techniques, overwhelming his opponent.

Particularly, the way he escaped unscathed with Qian Renxue from Tang Chen and Bo Saixi, two level ninety-nine titled Douluo, was impressive!

In Golden Crocodile Douluo's view, the Grand Worshipper was right. Su Yun was indeed a good match for their family's daughter!

Therefore, he was willing to follow Su Yun's orders.

"Nothing important." Su Yun smiled and shook his head, though he was inwardly displeased, knowing that Bibi Dong was avoiding him.

His most precious first time was gone just like that!

Su Yun almost cursed.

The only consolation was that since Bibi Dong had already exited seclusion, she had likely completed her Rakshasa God trials.

"She should still have some time before her ninth trial," Su Yun mused to himself, "I need to find a way to protect Ah Yin. By now, Tang San must have been taken to Sea God Island by Bo Saixi, but the other members of the Clear Sky Clan and the other top three sects, especially Ning Fengzhi, must be curious about Ah Yin's existence."

"That place is no longer the safest."

"But I can't bring Ah Yin back to the Spirit Hall right now."

While Su Yun was pondering how to protect Ah Yin, Qian Renxue suddenly approached him. "Do you need any help?"

Since Su Yun had protected her earlier, she naturally wanted to do something in return.

Noticing Qian Renxue's arrival, Su Yun's eyes lit up and he asked, "When are we leaving?"

"Once Grandfather has recovered, we will leave," Qian Renxue replied. "After we return to the Spirit Hall, our Spirit Hall will formally declare war on the world."

It wasn't that Qian Renxue and her group were overly hasty, but the news of her impersonating the Heaven Dou Empire's crown prince had likely spread. Even if the Spirit Hall didn't declare war, the Heaven Dou Empire wouldn't let it go easily.

"Alright, in that case, I hope you can take this region first." Su Yun took out a map from his soul guide device and pointed to a location, which was naturally where Ah Yin and the Blue Silver Grass tribe were currently located.

"Here? This area has some soul beast habitats and a small population, for us..." Qian Renxue stopped mid-sentence as the image of the white figure that appeared before Su Yun flashed in her mind.

She raised an eyebrow, narrowing her eyes at Su Yun. "Is it because of that woman?"

"You really have a connection with Tang San's mother?"

Su Yun paused for a moment, then nodded.

This revelation shocked Qian Renxue.

She had thought that Ning Fengzhi had made that up to deceive everyone, but she didn't expect it to be confirmed by Su Yun.

Qian Renxue remembered that her father had died hunting Tang San's mother.

Tang San's mother had sacrificed herself to Tang Hao, resulting in her death.

But now, she was alive again?!

How was that possible?

So now, was she considered a soul beast or a human?

"What is your relationship with her?" Qian Renxue asked again, as if interrogating a criminal.

Su Yun turned his head, "No comment."

"You want the Spirit Hall's first move to be to protect a woman who once caused my father's death?" Qian Renxue's gaze turned cold.

She wanted to help Su Yun, but not to the extent of going out of her way.

Facing Qian Renxue's question, Su Yun said calmly, "First, using Tang Chen's words, if you want to kill someone, be prepared to be killed."

"Second, you don't have to help."

"Third, it's understandable if you don't help, I get it."

After saying that, Su Yun turned and left.

Qian Renxue frowned slightly and then returned to Qian Daoliu's room.

Seeing his granddaughter return, Qian Daoliu was puzzled and asked, "Xue'er, what's the matter?"

As someone who knew his granddaughter best, Qian Daoliu could sense that something was off about her emotions.

"Grandfather."

"I just confirmed with Su Yun that the hundred-thousand-year soul beast my father hunted truly has been resurrected."

"That's Tang San's mother. She's really alive."

"And Su Yun's relationship with her is indeed special."

"I always felt that their relationship..." Qian Renxue trailed off, feeling unable to continue.

"Don't forget, you just said it yourself: the bond between her and Su Yun is not simple. Based on this alone, we can't act rashly against that woman."

"Besides, looking at it from another angle, don't you have no feelings for Su Yun? Then why do you care about that woman?"

"As for your father..."

Qian Daoliu seemed to recall the past.

He remembered what Bibi Dong had done in front of him back then.

He remembered what he had told Tang San today.

Qian Renxue's expression froze slightly. She then recounted what Su Yun had asked her to do and took out a map.

Qian Daoliu looked at the location Qian Renxue pointed out on the map and nodded slightly, saying, "The geographical position here is indeed good, but if things are as you say, the relationship between those two is indeed intriguing..."

Thinking of this, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but chuckle, "I wonder what the people of the Haotian Sect would think if they knew."

"Grandfather!" Qian Renxue seemed a bit dissatisfied with Qian Daoliu's sudden frivolousness and murmured.

"Ahem."

Qian Daoliu quickly cleared his throat and said, "Xue'er, I have to admit, Su Yun does have some standards. In fact, this area, whether in terms of geographical location or resources, is entirely suitable for our Spirit Hall's first action."

"Of course, if you don't want to agree to that kid's request, I support choosing another location."

"It's all up to you."

"But, I can give you a suggestion."

A smile appeared on Qian Daoliu's lips, "You can inform the other girls around Su Yun about this matter."

"I'd like to see how that kid deals with this situation."

"Hmph."

Qian Renxue snorted softly, stood up, and left, "Grandfather, I'm not that kind of person."

...

Half a month later.

The Heaven Dou Empire formally announced an alliance with the Star Luo Empire and declared war on the Spirit Hall.

At the same time, the Spirit Hall officially announced the establishment of the Spirit Empire, mobilizing its forces to conquer the world.

With its advantageous conditions, the Spirit Empire, having an overwhelming number of soldiers and soul masters, and with Pope Bibi Dong personally leading the charge, easily won its first battle.

Right after the Spirit Empire's initial victory, Su Yun saw a few familiar figures appear.

Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena.

The two women also noticed Ah Yin standing beside Su Yun.

Hiss—

For a moment, the surrounding Blue Silver Grass clan members sensed something amiss.

Even the Blue Silver King, whose perception now covered a vast area, could sense the tension in the scene. The usually composed Su Yun was now somewhat anxious.

But before Su Yun could speak, Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing had already approached Ah Yin, looking very affectionate.

Immediately, the three women left Su Yun aside and started chatting among themselves.

As for why the three had such a good relationship, it was due to their personalities.

Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing both understood that someone like Su Yun would never lack women around him in the future, so they didn't mind much.

However, they were curious about Ah Yin's identity. After getting some information from 'someone,' they naturally wanted to meet Ah Yin.

But at first sight, both of them were captivated by Ah Yin's gentle demeanor.

Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but think that it was no wonder Su Yun was with her; if they were men, they would probably also enjoy being around her.

As for Ah Yin, she had known Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena for a while and knew they had no ill intentions. Thus, she chatted and laughed with them.

Despite never having met before, they could talk so freely at their first meeting.

This also made Su Yun, who could only watch from a distance and not eavesdrop, breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Excellency, you truly are impressive, having admirers even outside," the Blue Silver King remarked timely.

Su Yun glared at the branch representing the Blue Silver King's will, "What are you saying? I'm just loving."

"Yes, yes, that's beyond our concern."

"Regardless, Your Excellency, I think you should leave descendants soon. The Empress is not good at expressing herself; this matter still needs you..." As a soul beast, the Blue Silver King was always concerned about the continuation of the Blue Silver clan's bloodline.

Su Yun immediately flicked his finger, breaking the branch and refusing to converse with the Blue Silver King.

This guy, ever since Su Yun had been staying here, had been talking about this every day.

What's the use of talking to me?

Can't you try to persuade your Empress?

Clearly, the Blue Silver King bullied the 'soft' and feared the hard.

Realizing there was no impending disaster in his harem, Su Yun also breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been thinking about how to explain, but now he realized... what's there to be afraid of?

So, he prepared to visit the front lines to check on the Spirit Hall soldiers.

As the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, he naturally had to make an appearance, and he also intended to find his teacher, Bibi Dong.

He didn't believe he wouldn't find her in the military camp today.

On the other side.

Ah Yin was chatting with Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing about her life inside Su Yun's body, omitting the bizarre details about the system. She also revealed the truth from back then.

After hearing her story, Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena indeed cursed the people of the Haotian Sect and even Tang San.

"No wonder the Haotian Sect's master was so shameless, and Tang San is no good either," Hu Liena said indignantly, eager to slap both of them.

Zhu Zhuqing also showed a murderous intent in her eyes.

Just as the three women were discussing the past, a figure suddenly appeared before them.

Seeing the newcomer, Hu Liena's expression changed slightly, and she immediately stood upright, blurting out, "Teacher?!"
