Chapter 113: Bibi Dong's Targeting
Madness flickered uncontrollably in Bibi Dong's eyes.
She would give the Clear Sky Sect a surprise soon enough.
And not just them—her vengeance would extend to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and every force that opposed Spirit Hall.
Everyone around her—Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue—believed she was only acting to demonstrate power.
But in truth, she had far deeper plans.
After her battle with Tang Hao, Bibi Dong's mind was aflame with confidence.
She was already hunting the spirit ring for her second martial spirit while undergoing her divine trial. Her strength would soon soar beyond anything before.
That day of all-out war was drawing near.
Landing lightly on the ground, she strode toward Ning Fengzhi, her calm expression darkened with fury.
"Ning Sect Master, tell me this—how are the soul masters of the Clear Sky Sect obtaining their rings so quickly? Where does their cultivation resource supply come from?"
Her voice struck before her figure even arrived, sharp and accusatory.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, standing beside Ning Fengzhi, instantly went on alert.
Sword Douluo could sense dozens of powerful Title Douluo nearby.
Ning Fengzhi kept his face composed, though disappointment lingered in his heart.
In his view, it would best serve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's interests if the Clear Sky Sect had lost two or three Title Douluo.
He could tolerate them having three or even four, but seven? That crossed his limit.
Unfortunately, Tang Xiao was too cautious—the battle never broke out in full.
Though Ning Fengzhi had just been impressed by Bibi Dong's strength, her failure to capture Tang Hao—and her reluctance to attack the Clear Sky mountain—made her threat seem hollow.
If even the Clear Sky Sect couldn't be conquered, there was no way Spirit Hall would dare strike the Glazed Tile Sect.
With a steady tone, he replied, "The Clear Sky Sect's rumored strength remains unverified, Your Holiness. No one has confirmed the existence of seven Title Douluo.
As for their resources, Your Holiness has already slain many guards and officials from the Spirit Hunting Forest—surely you have your answer by now.
It seems the empires were simply derelict in their duties, and Your Holiness has already enforced punishment."
"Let's hope so," Bibi Dong said coldly. "The Clear Sky Sect sealed itself in repentance for Tang Hao's crimes more than ten years ago.
Since they cannot hold to that promise, I will make sure they do.
And any faction that dares assist them will be deemed Spirit Hall's enemy."
Her face still held traces of anger—perhaps from letting Tang Hao escape, a humiliation she couldn't stand.
"Rest assured, Your Holiness," Ning Fengzhi replied smoothly. "After this lesson, the forest guards will certainly do their jobs properly."
Unshaken as ever, he spoke like a stone unruffled by wind.
Bibi Dong nodded, her gaze sweeping across the crowd—then her eyes fixed sharply on Dugu Feng.
"Oh? So this is the young genius from the Dugu Family who defeated Yan?"
Dugu Feng's heart skipped a beat. What does she want?
"Greetings, Your Holiness," he said respectfully, bowing.
Bibi Dong suddenly laughed. "No wonder you defeated Yan. You've been to the Slaughter City—and survived.
From that abyss, only two have ever returned alive. You're the third."
Dugu Feng nearly froze on the spot. What is she, a bloodhound? How can she sense this so easily?
"I once thought the brightest talents of this generation all belonged to Spirit Hall," Bibi Dong continued with a pleased smile. "It seems I was wrong. Heaven Dou Empire holds one too.
Decades from now, another Title Douluo will surely rise from the Dugu family."
Her praise instantly drew every eye to Dugu Feng.
Everyone present knew what the Slaughter City was—a place of no return, a graveyard of countless prodigies.
For someone as young as Dugu Feng to have entered it, let alone come out alive—it was astounding.
What did he obtain inside? people wondered. That place is said to hold unimaginable opportunities.
Dugu Shuo's heart sank. He instantly regretted allowing his son to come here.
He'd intended for Dugu Feng to witness a battle between Title Douluo—to broaden his horizons.
He hadn't expected Bibi Dong's instincts to be so terrifyingly sharp.
The moment she saw him, she had sensed the Killing God Domain he kept hidden.
Catching the shift in the air, Ning Fengzhi spoke up, "Your Holiness, may I ask—who are the two others who escaped from the Slaughter City alive?"
"One of them is Tang Hao," Bibi Dong said flatly.
That surprised no one—Tang Hao had been a legend, one of the Twin Stars of the Clear Sky Sect, a prodigy who had slain Spirit Hall's former Pope upon reaching Title Douluo.
"And the other…" Bibi Dong smiled faintly but didn't finish her sentence.
"Could the second be Your Holiness yourself?" Dugu Feng asked calmly.
Bibi Dong did not answer, merely saying, "The Slaughter City offers great rewards, but its power is only a beginning. If you wish to continue mastering it, you may come to Spirit Hall to seek me."
Her words all but confirmed that she was indeed the second survivor. Otherwise, why invite him personally?
She gave polite nods to Ning Fengzhi and the others before departing with Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and their entourage.
Internally, Dugu Feng cursed her. To expose my secret like that, how shameless.
He was only at Soul Elder level, and now Bibi Dong herself had targeted him.
The tree that stands above the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
A little talent was fine—but she had just raised him to stand shoulder to shoulder with Tang Hao and herself.
That was praise meant to ruin.
Once Bibi Dong left, all eyes turned curiously toward Dugu Feng.
This was what it meant to look at someone anew.
Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Dugu Bo, Ge Long, Ye Qingxin, and Feng Bailong—all regarded him differently now.
They had seen him grow up and already thought highly of him, but this revelation elevated him beyond their imaginations.
Dugu Bo, in particular, wore a grave expression, lost in thought.
Dugu Feng sighed inwardly. Since the secret was out, he might as well own it completely.
He clasped his hands and explained calmly, "The Slaughter City is a place left behind by a powerful predecessor.
To gain its inheritance, one must undergo a test of endless slaughter—killing other entrants in order to survive.
That alone isn't the terrifying part.
The true horror is that even Title Douluo are restricted inside—they cannot use their soul skills.
Only physical strength and pure soul power can be relied upon.
You can imagine the cruelty of such a test.
Those who pass gain a special domain—the Killing God Domain. I survived using my clan's poisons. Without soul skills, poison becomes the most efficient weapon."
His straightforward explanation peeled back the mystery surrounding the forbidden city.
Bibi Dong had tried to expose him as a target, but Dugu Feng turned her trap into open truth.
Eventually, his Killing God Domain would've been revealed anyway—he had already used a hint of its murderous aura against Yan.
Now that everyone knew, he could wield it without restraint.
The Slaughter City's legend was both horrifying and wonderous, and his account left the gathered experts stunned.
No soul skills. Only death.
It was no wonder so many geniuses had entered that city—yet never returned.
