Hu Liena's concerns are not unfounded.
If even the Tang Clan can only be at the bottom, it means there are seven more terrifying forces ahead of them.
This is definitely not good news for the Spirit Hall, which has always considered itself the overlord of the continent.
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in her heart, and scanned the distance with a gloomy gaze.
"I wonder what kind of monsters and demons are all at the front of the line?"
The names mentioned in the previous intelligence report couldn't help but come to mind.
Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, a woman who acted domineeringly and ruthlessly.
There's also Li Bai from Miaoyin Pavilion, whose swordsmanship is divine.
"The Tang Dynasty had Empress Wu Zetian and others, and the Miaoyin Pavilion had Li Bai. These forces should all be able to make the list!"
Hu Liena tentatively said:
"Teacher, it would be great if we could win them over. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, as long as our interests align..."
"Win them over?"
Bibi Dong sneered, interrupting Hu Liena, her eyes instantly blazing with anger.
"These people should have been my allies, and we even exchanged letters before. But for some reason, lately these women have been acting like they've gone mad, opposing me at every turn!"
Bibi Dong grew increasingly agitated as she spoke, her chest heaving violently.
"I really wonder if they've lost their minds, or if they're going through menopause and are just desperate for men! Don't they even look at the current situation? They're actually joining forces against my Martial Soul Empire!"
Bibi Dong felt humiliated when she recalled being kicked out by Wu Zetian when she tried to contact the Tang Dynasty a while ago.
And then there's Cai Wenji, who was clearly just a little girl who played the zither, yet she dared to lay a hand on me at the city gate that day.
Moreover, that strange sonic attack left her completely defenseless. Even now, when Bibi Dong thinks of that battle, her buttocks still ache.
Seeing her teacher's furious expression, Hu Liena had a sudden flash of inspiration and thought of a certain possibility.
"Teacher, could this be... Chiyu's doing?"
Hu Liena cautiously pointed in the direction of the sky.
"Think about it, Qianyu's martial spirit is so powerful, and he's kept it a secret from everyone. Since he's hidden it so well, could he have other forces outside?"
"Those women who are targeting you, could they all actually be having affairs with him? Maybe... they've already cheated on you."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's face instantly turned ashen.
"He dares!"
These two words were practically squeezed out from between his teeth.
However, after the anger subsided, a deep sense of doubt began to creep into his heart.
Qianyu not only possesses a twelve-winged angel but also a Glory Crystal. With such unparalleled talent, it would be self-deception to say that she lacks the ability to attract women.
Moreover, Cai Wenji called him "Brother Qianyu," and Gongsun Li listened to him completely.
Bibi Dong thought about it more and more and it seemed very possible. The anger in her heart instantly turned into overwhelming jealousy and resentment at being betrayed.
"Damn Qianyu! How dare she flirt with other men outside!"
Bibi Dong flew into a rage, slamming her scepter onto the ground, cracking the hard marble floor.
Just then, Hu Liena suddenly pointed ahead, her expression somewhat strange.
"Teacher...look over there."
Bibi Dong suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction Hu Liena was pointing.
On the main road of Wuhun City, a group of people were slowly walking towards them.
The man at the head of the group was tall and imposing, with an extraordinary air about him; he was none other than Qian Yu. On either side of him, he was escorted by two stunningly beautiful women.
On the left is Cai Wenji, the little girl she hates so much, who is clinging to Qianyu with a blissful expression.
On the right is her biological daughter, Qian Renxue, who is also nestled obediently beside her father.
Behind them followed the charming Gongsun Li, holding a paper umbrella, and the respectful Lingyuan Douluo.
As for the Light Feather Douluo next to her, he was completely ignored by Bibi Dong.
This scene deeply stung Bibi Dong's eyes.
"Damn Chiba..."
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, her eyes burning with jealousy.
"It's one thing for Gongsun Li to be his maid, but now this Cai Wenji has also become involved with him? Hugging and cuddling in public like this, what kind of behavior is this!"
"Does he even respect me, Bibi Dong?!"
Thinking back to her experience of being brutally beaten by Cai Wenji, and then seeing Cai Wenji now acting coquettishly in Qianyu's arms, Bibi Dong instantly understood.
"So the culprit behind all this is Qian Yu! He's the one who instructed that little girl to humiliate me!"
...
The camera pans back to the present, showing Qianyu and his group strolling through the streets of Wuhun City.
Although the awe-inspiring power of the sky was still ongoing, for Qianyu, it was all within expectations.
Qian Renxue, holding her father's arm, felt exceptionally cheerful. The gloom from before had vanished, replaced by boundless anticipation for the future.
"Father, I never expected that the Tang Clan would only be ranked eighth."
Qian Renxue sighed, her tone tinged with schadenfreude.
"Our Martial Soul Empire is certainly stronger than the Tang Sect, but judging from the quality of this ranking, its strength is probably only slightly greater."
"I wonder what those seven forces are? How could they possibly overpower the Tang Clan and us?"
Upon hearing this, Qianyu smiled faintly, turned her head to look at her daughter's inquisitive face, and said softly:
"Xue'er, have you forgotten your uncles, aunts, and sisters?"
Qian Renxue was taken aback, and then the image of the mysterious people her father had taken her to see when she was a child came to mind.
"Father is talking about... Aunt Wu Zetian? And Uncle Mozi, who is very skilled in mechanical arts?"
Qian Renxue's eyes lit up.
"That's right! I felt they were unfathomable back then, and if it's them, they are indeed very strong!"
I still remember the oppressive aura emanating from my aunt Wu Zetian; it was even more terrifying than my grandfather's.
"Hehe, and there's also your sister Cai Wenji!"
Not to be outdone, Cai Wenji, on the other side, tilted her head back and interjected smugly:
"Brother Qianyu has a lot of influence; the people at the top of this list are definitely our own people."
Qianyu shook her head helplessly, reached out and patted Cai Wenji's little head, without arguing.
Looking at her father's calm and composed demeanor, Qian Renxue felt an indescribable surge of admiration and self-reproach.
"Father, you kept this from me for so long."
Qian Renxue sighed, her tone carrying a hint of coquetry.
"I always thought you were mediocre and was afraid you would be discouraged, so I have been working hard to cultivate for so many years, wanting to protect you."
I never imagined... compared to you, I'm the one with mediocre talent!
At this point, Qian Renxue seemed to realize something, her expression changed, and she said indignantly:
"It's all Bibi Dong's fault!"
"Martial spirits are inherited through bloodlines. Father, you have twin god-level martial spirits, so my talent should be even stronger."
"It must be that useless Bibi Dong's genes that dragged me down!"
