Chapter 232: Bibi Dong's Scheme
Southwest of Heaven Dou City, a great river flowed endlessly westward.
It ran across the vast plains of central Heaven Dou Empire, passing through six provinces before finally merging into the Western Sea.
This river was the lifeblood of the entire empire.
On the plains, its flow was slow, its surface wide—stretching several kilometers across.
At its widest point stood an island dividing the waters into two roaring streams that surged around it.
At the heart of that island rose a mountain, crowned with pavilions and terraces hidden amid mist and vapor—like a paradise adrift in the mortal world.
Around the island, protective embankments had been built, lined beyond by a series of fortresses.
"What a blessed land… easy to defend, hard to attack!"
High above, Bibi Dong stood in the sky.
This was the ancestral land of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Bibi Dong herself had come—planning to deliver a surprise for the Haotian Sect.
No matter how many avengers they sent, she would make sure none returned alive.
"Your Holiness, Yu Yuanzhen still hasn't come back. There's been no message at all. I've already sent my people out to investigate," said the Mad Dragon Douluo, bowing his head.
Bibi Dong had arrived at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with a contingent of Title Douluos,
but despite all their waiting, Yu Yuanzhen never returned.
"When you parted, what was his condition?" Bibi Dong's tone turned cold.
Something felt wrong. Yu Yuanzhen wouldn't simply abandon his clan's safety.
At such a dangerous time, he should have returned immediately.
"Clan Leader Yu was seriously injured by Tang Hao's desperate counterattack and the sneak assault of Haotian Sect's second elder.
We cultivated to recover for a while before parting. By then, his injuries were stable, and his strength had returned.
I thought Your Holiness might still be in Spirit City, so I rushed there to report the news…"
Mad Dragon Douluo spoke anxiously.
But when he reached Spirit City, he learned that Bibi Dong had personally gone to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—so he hurried there as well.
And yet, there was still no sign of Yu Yuanzhen.
"Yu Yuanzhen must have met trouble.
You, come with me. We'll investigate."
Bibi Dong made up her mind quickly. There was no point waiting any longer.
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
Mad Dragon Douluo followed as Bibi Dong took to the skies, speeding toward the direction of Heaven Dou City.
They had traveled only a short distance when a messenger from Spirit Hall intercepted them, bearing grim news.
Their expressions darkened instantly.
Something truly had gone wrong.
Bibi Dong increased her speed. Two hours later, they arrived at the battlefield where the disturbance had occurred.
"This is the residue of lightning power—utterly devastating. Clan Leader Yu must have fought with his full strength, perhaps even to the death.
Here! A fragment of his robe… and this—bones!
It must have been the Haotian Sect's Title Douluos who caught up to him here. They fought a desperate battle—and killed him!"
Mad Dragon Douluo's voice trembled in disbelief. Judging from the carnage around them, Yu Yuanzhen's body had been obliterated.
Bibi Dong was silent, but her expression hardened as she spread her spiritual sense across the entire battlefield.
She scoured every trace of energy across dozens of kilometers.
After a while, she confirmed it—Yu Yuanzhen was indeed dead.
However, unlike Mad Dragon Douluo, she didn't immediately blame the Haotian Sect.
Yu Yuanzhen and Mad Dragon Douluo had attacked Tang San suddenly.
It was already surprising that Tang Xiao and Haotian Sect's second elder had been nearby to respond.
It was unlikely that five Haotian Sect elders could have gathered near the Sunset Forest so quickly to chase down Yu Yuanzhen.
After all, Yu Yuanzhen must have been heading straight back to his clan once he left the forest—
there would have been no time for Haotian Sect's main force to intercept him.
"Could it have been that evil soul master?" Bibi Dong murmured.
Mad Dragon Douluo had mentioned that mysterious person, and Bibi Dong had taken note of it.
"Impossible. To kill Yu Yuanzhen would require at least the strength of a Super Douluo—
even more so if alone. That so-called evil soul master skulks in shadows; there's no way he has such power!"
Mad Dragon Douluo shook his head decisively.
Bibi Dong thought for a moment. He was probably right.
The Spirit Hall's influence blanketed the entire continent. Every powerful soul master was accounted for.
How could someone of that level rise unnoticed under her watch?
And when that mysterious soul master faced Hu Liena, he had to divert Chrysanthemum Douluo to even fight her at all.
That alone showed he wasn't that strong.
Bibi Dong's thoughts raced furiously.
Yu Yuanzhen's death completely disrupted her plans, stripping her of a key weapon against the Haotian Sect.
Whether by Haotian Sect's hand or the work of that unknown soul master, it was clear their enemy's strength and reaction far exceeded expectations.
If they could kill Yu Yuanzhen, they could kill most Title Douluos.
Even in Spirit Hall, there were few who could match that.
The Hall still isn't strong enough.
Her mind seethed with frustration.
"Contact Yu Luomian. Tell him Yu Yuanzhen is dead—killed by the Haotian Sect.
I trust he'll know what to do."
Her cold tone left no room for mercy.
Now that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had lost its pillar, they had no choice but to submit to Spirit Hall.
Over two thousand soul masters—absorbing them would greatly expand the Hall's power.
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
Mad Dragon Douluo bowed, secretly pleased.
Bibi Dong completed her arrangements but didn't leave immediately.
She stayed several more days at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
The Haotian Sect never came to retaliate.
That disappointed her deeply.
"The Haotian Sect—so cowardly. They let their genius be slain and don't even dare avenge him.
They'll probably stay hidden behind their mountains for years.
Very well. Then wait for my Soul Hunt Operation!"
Bibi Dong could only bide her time until her preparations were complete.
Soon after, detailed reports arrived from Heaven Dou City: Yu Xiaogang and the others had returned to Blue Tyrant Academy.
Tang Hao and Tang San had received healing from Ning Fengzhi and then returned to the Haotian Sect.
The fact that Yu Xiaogang was still with Tang San infuriated Bibi Dong.
"Xiaogang, your father is dead. True, I didn't kill him myself—but I'm more than happy he's gone.
From now on, there will be no more Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan among the Upper Three Sects.
Only a subsidiary of Spirit Hall.
You'll see—I'll dismantle the entire clan.
Out of their fifteen hundred spirit masters, all but the direct bloodline will be distributed among the Spirit Hall's forces.
And the direct descendants—when the war against the Haotian Sect begins—they'll be the first to charge.
They'll be avenging their patriarch's death!
You don't need to waste your heart teaching Tang San anymore.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is gone; you no longer have to prove your worth to anyone.
From now on, live for yourself alone."
Bibi Dong whispered these words softly. Then, with a flicker of movement, she sped toward Slaughter City.
Hu Liena had been there for more than a year, and Bibi Dong was still uneasy.
She knew full well the King of Slaughter did not dare kill Hu Liena—
what mattered was whether the girl could withstand the illusions of madness there.
Now that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon matter was settled,
it was time to check on her precious disciple.
