When Dragon Douluo received the news that Qian renxue had been captured by Haotian Sect and brought back to the Angelic Holy Temple, he immediately reported it.
Similarly, Snake Spear Douluo, Porcupine Douluo, and Devil Bear Douluo also brought back the news to Bibi Dong.
Inside the Papal Hall, the three knelt beneath the jade steps. Bibi Dong, seated on the pontifical throne, however, did not display the same fury as Qian Daoliu.
"So, have you three personally witnessed the person who intervened and released the Haotian Hammer Martial Soul?" Bibi Dong's face showed a surprised expression, sensing something peculiar about the situation.
After all, Qian ren ue disguising herself as Prince Xue Qinghe was highly secretive. Haotian Sect had been secluded for many years and had no reason to know Qian renxue's true identity.
"Reporting to the Pontiff, we did not see the person release the Haotian Hammer Martial Soul. However, he explicitly stated that for Miss to return, the Grand Elder must personally go to Haotian Sect to retrieve her," Snake Spear Douluo said nervously. Losing her happened under their watch, yet they returned safely to the Spirit Hall, which was indeed suspicious.
"Is that person dressed in a light blue robe with blue hair tied up?" Suddenly, beside Bibi Dong, Saintess Hu Liena questioned.
"Exactly as the Saintess says, that's how the person was dressed!" Snake Spear Douluo nodded repeatedly, recalling the terrifying scene when the person took action.
"It's him! He's the guy who killed the 100,000-year-old Titan ape!" Hu Liena's expression became excited, her eyes filled with a strong intent to kill.
Bibi Dong, beside her, showed an increasingly surprised expression. Unconsciously, a profound meaning began to stir in her beautiful eyes.
...
In the vast sea, after a period of travel, Shui Wuya and Shui Bing'er finally returned to Icebound Island.
Icebound Island was the name Shui Bing'er gave to the deserted island.
"Please detain this person, Deans, I have sealed his soul power and cut off his five senses. No one else should come into contact with him," Shui Wuya instructed the Tianshui Elder and Blaze Hall Elder as soon as they returned to Icebound Island, handing over the unconscious Qian renxue.
"Don't worry, Old Man Huo and I will personally guard this person and we will not let outsiders discover his whereabouts." the Tianshui DeaN solemnly replied. She understood Qian renxue's importance and also guessed the reasons behind Shui Wuya's actions.
"Wuya, are you going out?" Hearing Shui Wuya's instructions, Shui Bing'er's face immediately showed concern.
"I will come back safely," Shui Wuya gently patted Shui Bing'er's head with indulgence. Only in front of Shui Bing'er did he reveal such a warm gesture.
Currently, Shui Bing'er had not yet inherited the position of Ice God. With the Star Luo Empire and the Douluo Empire both having Limit Douluos, if the World Douluo Hall's great war continued as usual, it would inevitably end with the Douluo Hall unifying the continent.
Therefore, there had to be a way to break this deadlock.
And Shui Wuya's method to break this deadlock was simple: to provoke a war between Haotian Sect and the Douluo Empire!
It was precisely because of this that he captured Qian renxue and framed Haotian Sect.
Now, he was leaving Icebound Island again to add the final fuel to this global war!
Soon after, Shui Wuya, alone, left Icebound Island once again.
...
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
When Shui Wuya appeared again, he had returned to the mainland's far west, in the Savage Wilderness.
There was no other reason than that this Savage Wilderness was where the City of Slaughter was located.
"Slaughter King, come out and face me!"
High above the Savage Wilderness, Shui Wuya wielded the Snow Killing Spear, unleashing a barrage directly towards the location of the City of Slaughter.
"Boom!"
Instantly, the power of extinguishment swept through, causing a thunderous roar that raised clouds of dust and triggered intense earthquakes on the ground.
Initially, there was no response from beneath the Savage Wilderness.
It wasn't until two to three hours passed that the entire savage land, pierced through by the extinguishing power of the Snow Killing Spear, resembled the end of the world, riddled with gaping holes.
A supremely murderous intent, mixed with a sky-high bloodthirsty aura, suddenly surged from beneath the savage land. Following closely, a bloody figure descended from the sky!
"Slaughter King!"
As the bloody figure appeared, Shui Wuya finally ceased his relentless assault. With the Snow Killing Spear held horizontally, his eyebrow raised, a gleam of determination shone between his eyes.
"What do you intend, human?" The Slaughter King, with a grim expression, looked towards Shui Wuya. He had sensed his presence the moment he appeared.
However, always cautious and careful, he rarely showed himself in the world.
It wasn't until he realized that if he didn't show himself now, the entire City of Slaughter would be uprooted by the madman before him, that he had no choice but to reveal himself.
Upon hearing this, Shui Wuya's lips curled into a cold smile. Then, in the Slaughter King's puzzled gaze, Shui Wuya suddenly erupted with a spiritual aura of three million years,
"Tang Chen, now is not the time to remain asleep!"
Suddenly, a shout echoed from Shui Wuya's mouth, and a dazzling nine-colored spiritual beam burst forth from his brow, completely enveloping the Slaughter King's figure!
At this moment, the Slaughter King finally realized the danger—it was a plan to draw him out!
Immediately, he unleashed his cultivation base, desperately trying to retreat back to the City of Slaughter. However, enveloped by the nine-colored spiritual beam, he remained trapped.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In an instant, Shui Wuya raised his hand again and released a nine-colored spiritual flower. Swift as lightning, it surged directly into the Slaughter King's spiritual world.
For several dozen breaths, within the entire sky, the continuous screams of the Slaughter King could be heard.
"Ahh!~"
Until several dozen breaths later, the Slaughter King's screams gradually subsided. Simultaneously, his bloody aura also vanished without a trace.
When the Slaughter King lifted his head again, his originally murky crimson eyes revealed a clarity, and his ferocious demeanor became exceedingly weary.
"Old man... What has happened to me?"
Tang Chen, who had been lost in his mind for decades, regained his clear consciousness.
As he surveyed his surroundings and his own condition, a lingering expression of shock and hesitation lingered on his face for a long time.
Seeing this appearance, Shui Wuya inwardly confirmed that the true Slaughter King, Tang Chen, had returned to normal. He then restrained his three million years of spiritual power and various methods.
"Did you save me, sir?"
After several dozen breaths, Tang Chen looked towards Shui Wuya, vaguely understanding what had just happened here.
"Haotian Sect is about to face a great disaster. You should hurry back," Shui Wuya replied directly, not intending to let Tang Chen owe him anything for the rescue.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shui Wuya rushed towards the distant horizon.
Hearing about Haotian Sect's impending calamity, Tang Chen's expression changed immediately. He prepared to return to Haotian Sect right away, but then he remembered Shui Wuya who had just saved him.
Thus, Tang Chen shouted loudly in the direction where Shui Wuya had departed.
"I don't know your name or where you're from, but after I resolve Haotian Sect's crisis, I will surely repay you a hundredfold!"
However, as Tang Chen's voice echoed farther and farther, there was no response.
Seeing this, Tang Chen sighed. Although he vaguely sensed that something was amiss, now was not the time to delve into it. He immediately unleashed his cultivation base and sprinted at full speed towards Haotian Sect.
