Facts have proven…
Sometimes people's predictions can be scarily accurate, even to a frightening degree.
Not long after Shen Hanyu and the others returned to Element City and hadn't even enjoyed a few peaceful days, something major happened again within Element City.
In recent days, because personnel from the Spirit Hall had been coming in and out of Element City three or four times a day, and it seemed the Elephant Armor Sect had also started making moves, Shui Ning Bing and the others had no choice but to divert some attention and energy to monitor the movements of these two forces.
Although the Demon Empress was also paying attention, Shui Ning Bing still felt uneasy (in truth, she just wanted to slack off), and insisted on personally going to inspect every day.
However, the reason for this unusual situation soon became clear. Early that morning, a sudden development caught everyone completely off guard.
The Spirit Hall branch stationed in Element City, along with the Elephant Armor Sect and even the Elephant Armor Academy, simultaneously chose to withdraw from Element City.
Under the astonished gazes of the city's residents, both the large and small forces set off in dozens of magnificent carriages, departing through the gates of Element City in a truly grand and imposing procession. To anyone who didn't know the situation, it would almost look as though they were marching off to war, so splendid and majestic was the sight. Of course, that impression would have been far more convincing… if it weren't for the fact that every single member and disciple in the procession looked utterly dejected, listless, and downcast.
Everyone was momentarily stunned by the decision made by the Spirit Hall and the Elephant Armor Sect.
After all, although the various forces within Element City had never treated these two particularly well, they hadn't gone overboard either; at most, it was simply the attitude one would have toward strangers.
Moreover, the Spirit Hall and the Elephant Armor Sect had always acted as if they didn't care, having almost completely cut off contact with the forces in the city. Yet it was still far from the point where they would need to leave Element City.
The fact that they made such a decision could only mean it reflected the intentions of their true masters behind the scenes. The deeper implications inevitably made people ponder what exactly was going on…
Nevertheless, the departure of the Spirit Hall branch and the Elephant Armor Sect was indeed good news. Not only did it free up large areas of land and buildings, but many forces in Element City no longer had to waste manpower and resources monitoring the movements of these two parties…
Shui Ning Bing was in an excellent mood. As the undisputed number-one authority in Element City, with a very "gentle" attitude and "hundredfold polite refusals," she ultimately "had no choice" but to accept the land previously occupied by the two forces, deciding to renovate it. What exactly would be built there would be discussed later.
However, Shen Hanyu and the others clearly weren't focused on this matter. Regarding the abnormal behavior of the two major forces, Shen Hanyu keenly sensed that something was wrong.
It was impossible for the Spirit Hall to suddenly recall its two most powerful eyes and ears left in Element City without reason. Generally speaking, such a situation only occurred before a war or some major event that even the Spirit Hall could not fully control. As for the specifics, they would probably only know once the matter truly unfolded…
But this wasn't something only Shen Hanyu and the others were pondering; even Qian Renxue, who was diligently attending to Emperor Xue Ye on his sickbed in Heaven Dou City, felt somewhat puzzled.
Ever since news came back of the battle between her grandfather and that madwoman Bibi Dong, the Spirit Hall seemed to have suddenly withdrawn most of its sharpness overnight. The regular letters that arrived were mostly just routine greetings, and rarely contained any news about changes in power or the current situation within the Spirit Hall…
Even the three Title Douluo, Qianjun Douluo, and the others who followed Qian Renxue, couldn't help but feel confused, but due to Qian Daoliu's orders, not a single one dared return to Spirit City to investigate the actual situation…
Looking at the sky that had remained overcast for several consecutive days, Qian Renxue let out a silent sigh, then slowly closed the window and disappeared into the darkness behind her.
…
While the Spirit Hall's movements had not yet arrived, Shen Hanyu did receive a letter from Dugu Bo.
This letter was delivered by an agility-attack-specialized War Soul King. Judging by his appearance, he seemed to have gained Dugu Bo's trust. After delivering the letter, he separately handed Shen Hanyu a small, exquisitely made wooden box before quickly departing to report back.
Shen Hanyu opened the envelope and briefly skimmed through it, then opened the small wooden box and took a quick look before letting out a light chuckle.
Snow Empress curiously leaned over and asked:
"What's wrong?"
Shen Hanyu handed the letter paper to Snow Empress and said:
"Take a look for yourself. This old geezer really gets more interesting the older he becomes…"
Snow Empress took the letter paper, read through it, then lightly spat once before tossing the paper back to Shen Hanyu.
Shen Hanyu handed the delicate little wooden box to Xue Di. After a moment of hesitation, Snow Empress still took it as expected.
"Still, one has to admit this old geezer lives with true clarity. But according to what he said, the situation in Heaven Dou City has recently become even stranger. Xue Ye recalled Ge Long and most of the heavy armored legions without consulting anyone, almost completely sealing Heaven Dou City watertight…"
"Moreover, even the Spirit Hall branch in Heaven Dou City seems to have made quite a few moves. From the aura Dugu Bo accidentally captured, at least one Title Douluo has quietly arrived at the Spirit Hall branch in Heaven Dou City, and he may have brought quite several soul masters as well…"
Snow Empress nodded, then said expressionlessly:
"But that is not the reason for him sending us fertility pills…"
Shen Hanyu burst out laughing, then said:
"Don't you want a little padded jacket of our own?"
Snow Empress thought for a moment, then nodded and said:
"I really want one. I've always wanted one. But now is not the time. I don't want our child to be born into chaos. I hope even more that his (her) entire life will be lived in happiness and peace, without the many worries and changes we have had…"
Shen Hanyu slowly wrapped his arms around Xue Di's waist, then said with a light smile:
"That day won't be far off. After becoming a god, I will use the fastest time to complete my plan. After that, we will be completely free…"
Snow Empress nodded and said softly:
"I hope so…"
The two embraced for a moment. Suddenly, Snow Empress reached out and gently pushed Shen Hanyu back a little, then said:
"What about Bing'er? What are you going to do?"
Shen Hanyu was stunned, then subconsciously replied:
"We'll see how things go…"
Snow Empress smashed a hard punch into Shen Hanyu's chest and snapped:
"This old lady has already tacitly approved it for so long, yet you still won't take the initiative yourself? Do you really need this old lady to drag her straight to your bed before you'll make a move…?"
"You don't know that Bing'er has already started doubting herself? There were even two times she came to me privately to apologize and cry…"
Shen Hanyu froze, then said:
"When did this happen? How come I didn't know…"
Snow Empress coldly snorted and said:
"Do you need to know? You only need to know that Bing'er is waiting, and I am approving. Only you… have always been a fool…"
