Two years later, covered in blood, Bibi Dong stood silently in front of two corpses, her expressionless gaze fixed on Su Cheng.
However, the blood on her body didn't come from her own wounds but from the pursuers sent by the Haotian Sect.
With the deaths of all four Soul Douluos of the Haotian Sect, including Tang Xiao, Bibi Dong's trial mission was finally completed.
At this moment, her cultivation had already reached the level of an Advanced Soul Saint, approaching the realm of a Soul Douluo, and her true combat power far exceeded her cultivation.
With the support of her techniques, her astonishing talent for cultivation was fully displayed.
Of course, the residual effects of the drug, the "Heartbroken Red Poison," played an undeniable role during this period.
Judging by this progress, it was entirely possible for her to become a Title Douluo before the age of twenty-nine.
"Let's go, find a place to rest and clean up, then we can return to the Soul City," Su Cheng said, glancing at the corpses with a somewhat speechless expression.
Until now, the Haotian Sect had surprisingly not discovered Bibi Dong's true identity, indicating their inefficient information gathering.
Although Bibi Dong had only temporarily acted as the Pope, and her interactions with the outside world were limited, it was not confidential information.
As long as the Haotian Sect took the initiative to expand their network, it would be easy to uncover this matter.
It seemed that he had overestimated the Haotian Sect before.
Just because of the disappearance of an ancestor, the entire sect maintained a semi-reclusive state, without the former dominance.
Or perhaps they already knew but pretended not to, afraid to confront the Spirit Hall?
After all, with only one Title Douluo guarding the mountain gate, the title of the number one sect in the world was also in jeopardy.
Walking on the mountain road back to the Soul City, Su Cheng took out another manuscript and handed it to Bibi Dong, who was walking beside him.
"I noticed you've been quiet all the way. Is it because of this?" Su Cheng chuckled. "Since I promised you before, naturally I won't go back on my word. However, you don't need to rush to cultivate this second volume for now. It's not too late to practice the second volume after completely mastering the first one."
The set of techniques he had developed in this simulation were not complementary but had a progressive relationship between volumes.
That's why he had only taught Bibi Dong the content of the first volume, not worrying about affecting her overall cultivation progress.
The previous first volume of the innate techniques, in fact, was based on a simplified version of the Nirvana Scripture, with some optimizations and modifications but not many changes.
In the second volume, the focus was completely different, mainly aimed at helping soul masters nourish their bodies and souls with soul power, creating interaction between different powers and comprehensively strengthening their foundation.
Bibi Dong's current first task was actually to quickly reach the level of a Title Douluo.
After achieving the breakthrough, she could add soul rings to her second martial soul while practicing the new techniques without delay.
Unexpectedly, Bibi Dong shook her head and did not reach out to take the manuscript Su Cheng handed over.
Despite only a dozen miles away from the Soul City, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Su Cheng, furrowing her brows as she questioned, "Why did you let that woman go? Do you two already know each other?"
"What?" Su Cheng was first stunned, then realized what the other party was talking about.
It was a few days ago.
At that time, after Bibi Dong had killed Tang Xiao and the last Title Douluo of the Haotian Sect, only Ah Yin remained.
She originally wanted to eradicate the roots and kill Ah Yin as well, but Su Cheng took the initiative to stop her and let the other party go against her will.
Not only that, Ah Yin's expression at the time was also strange, showing a hesitant appearance.
In addition to the sadness and fear revealed due to Tang Xiao's death, there was also a certain inexplicable emotion on her face.
Regarding Ah Yin's situation at the time, Su Cheng also had some guesses.
The Ah Yin of this world naturally couldn't recognize him.
Not to mention that he was still wearing a mask now, and his martial soul and aura were different.
The reason Ah Yin showed that familiarity should be closely related to her seventh soul ring.
Su Cheng's seventh soul ring, when condensed, relied on the immortal sword intent he comprehended himself.
And the birth and completion of this powerful intent were not only due to the true intent of the Ice Phoenix, inspired by the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul's core, but also closely related to the ever-living nature of the Blue Silver Emperor and the life essence transformed from the hundred-thousand-year right leg bone.
It could be said that this kind of intent was born on top of the Nirvana True Intent of the Phoenix and the immortal True Intent of the Blue Silver Emperor.
Most people naturally wouldn't notice, but Ah Yin, as the Blue Silver Emperor's true form, might be able to sense a kind of vague yet deeper familiarity emanating from Su Cheng.
"I don't know her. I come from the Sea God's Island, and I arrived at the mainland before coming to the Soul City. How could I know her?" Su Cheng said nonchalantly.
"Bibi Dong, your murderous intent is a bit heavy. She's just a Soul King. Pointless slaughter isn't good for you," Su Cheng added.
This was also true.
Bibi Dong's martial soul was inherently quite dangerous.
Su Cheng's research on souls had deepened, and he increasingly sensed this.
If she couldn't suppress her evil thoughts well, even without the extreme evil will of the Rakshasa God's Exam, it would greatly affect her future development.
"Heh, when I killed those Haotian Sect pursuers, I didn't hear you say such things," Bibi Dong coldly remarked.
"That's different," Su Cheng shook his head, somewhat helpless. "Fighting to the death with strong opponents can temper your will. Pointless slaughter of the weak will only weaken your spirit."
After silently staring at Su Cheng for a while, Bibi Dong's cold and indifferent expression suddenly melted away like ice and snow.
She smiled and said, "If you know each other, just admit it. I don't care about your personal matters."
Her previous gloominess and melancholy seemed like illusions, dissipating instantly, and she suddenly became radiant.
Reaching out, she took the manuscript from Su Cheng's hand and then waved her hand, leading the way towards the direction of the Soul City. "Let's go."
Su Cheng, slightly distracted, also collected his thoughts and followed.
Meanwhile, he silently thought to himself, "I must keep my distance from her. This woman is getting smarter, and..."
Her charm is too strong.
Especially in these days, as Bibi Dong's knowledge accumulated and her mind became more agile, and her travels across the continent increased her experience, he increasingly felt the powerful attraction emanating from her.
Blue Silver Emperor Forest.
Driven by instinct, Ah Yin found herself back in this place.
Countless cries of longing, closeness, and joy awakened her from her daze.
Looking around, the countless trees and leaves swayed gently, seemingly celebrating her return.
At this moment, Ah Yin's panicked and restless mind finally calmed down, and a faint smile appeared on her face involuntarily.
This was her eternal home.
She never imagined that the human world would be so dangerous and cruel, filled with strife and slaughter everywhere.
Unlike ordinary soul beasts, as a rare hundred-thousand-year plant-type soul beast, Ah Yin's past life was almost abnormally monotonous and isolated.
The existence of the Blue Silver Grass Forest itself was extremely ancient, with no human footsteps for tens of thousands of years.
Only after she transformed into a human and truly entered human society did she begin to encounter some different colors.
But in recent years, one powerful Title Douluo after another appeared, and she was forced to be involved in a constant cycle of pursuit and being pursued.
Even her two recently recognized elder brothers had died in front of her, bringing her an exceptionally strong shock.
The formidable soul master who wore a mask and gave her a strange sense of familiarity was also an accomplice of that terrifying woman.
The warning words passed into her heart when they parted still echoed in her mind.
"Do you think your identity can be hidden from others? Or do you really think no one can kill you?
"Honestly go back to your clan territory to cultivate. Don't show off in the human world until you reach the level of a Title Douluo.
"The Blue Silver Emperor is different from ordinary soul beasts, with a powerful life source. You don't need to enter human society to accelerate your cultivation.
"I'll let you go this time, but if I hear about you again, I won't be polite with your soul rings and soul bones.
"Those things are better off in my hands than in the hands of other soul masters..."
Ah Yin dragged her somewhat weary body deeper into the forest, and the doubts in her heart even overwhelmed the sadness and unease of the moment.
"Who are you really?"
