Moon Pavilion.
Tang Yuehua stared at the four large words "Great Governance of Heaven Dou" on the scroll before her, unable to conceal her shock.
If Zhou Sheng'an had personally taken charge of governing the Heaven Dou Empire and achieved such results, she would have been surprised, but it would still make sense. After all, he was once the revered Grand Sage Master of the world.
But now?
One of Zhou Sheng'an's disciples—who knew how long he had been taught—emerged and accomplished something like this?
It was simply unbelievable!
"Zhou Sheng'an truly works miracles. In his hands, even decay turns into the divine," Tang Yuehua murmured in admiration.
She was now completely convinced. As long as they could tie Zhou Sheng'an to the war chariot of the Clear Sky Sect, their sect's crisis would surely be resolved!
Perhaps, even launching a counterattack against the Spirit Hall was no longer a mere fantasy!
But the problem was that woman, Bibi Dong, was simply too much!
The real-world situation was uncertain, but the Bibi Dong in the simulator had taken arrogance and tyranny to the extreme. After getting what she wanted and discarding Zhou Sheng'an, she refused to let anyone else get close to him!
And to prevent others from having any reference for the future, she even started a war!
Tang Yuehua had never seen such an insane woman before!
[The two elders you sent to observe Zhou Sheng'an were ambushed and surrounded by the Spirit Hall. Bibi Dong personally took action and declared war on the Clear Sky Sect!]
Tang Yuehua's expression changed.
"She took action herself? Damn it, does this mean she'll start suspecting my existence?"
…
A town outside the Star Dou Forest, inside a hotel room.
"Sigh, Zhuqing, I can't see what Teacher is doing anymore. But that little junior brother of ours sure is making a name for himself. He actually brought about some so-called golden era of governance," Xiao Wu sighed.
She didn't dare to contact Zhou Sheng'an now. She didn't want to take even the slightest risk.
After all, if her identity was exposed, there would only be one outcome—death.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded lightly and said, "As expected of the Grand Sage Master. His teachings can even turn a pile of rotten mud into a solid wall."
Xiao Wu grinned. "Then doesn't that mean raising a genius like me is even more impressive? Zhuqing, how long do you think it'll take for me to reach Level 100 and become a god? I should have a chance, right? After all, Teacher is teaching me…"
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. "I don't know, but I believe you can do it because you are a disciple of the Grand Sage Master."
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's serious expression, Xiao Wu suddenly felt a little embarrassed and laughed. "I'm not that amazing… Zhuqing, stop praising me already…"
"…" Zhu Zhuqing fell silent.
'Was I praising you? Clearly, I was praising Zhou Sheng'an!'
After a moment of silence, Xiao Wu suddenly exclaimed, "I knew it! That crazy woman from the Spirit Hall is going mad again! She's started assassinations once more. Good thing I'm staying far away…"
[On November 13, 2028, Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu launched a joint attack, killing Dugu Bo. Before dying, Dugu Bo released a poisonous outburst, severely injuring both of them.]
…
At the Poison Douluo's residence.
Dugu Bo was surprised to see his granddaughter throw herself into his arms. He rubbed Dugu Yan's head and sighed.
"Don't worry, Yan. Grandpa will make sure you're freed from your poison."
Dugu Yan held onto her grandfather tightly, tears streaming down her face as she buried herself in his chest.
Of course, she wasn't crying because of the poison.
Now that she knew about Zhou Sheng'an, as long as she could find him, the poison wasn't even worth worrying about.
She was crying because, in the simulation, her grandfather had died.
She had worried about him for four years, never got to see him once, and the next time she heard of him—it was news of his death.
How could she not grieve?
Now, being able to hold her grandfather again made her feel much better.
Noticing the unusual emotions in his granddaughter, Dugu Bo asked, "Yan, tell Grandpa—has someone been bullying you? That brat from the Yu family?"
"It's not that, Grandpa. I'm just happy to have you protecting me."
Dugu Yan wiped her tears while forcing a smile.
Dugu Bo pinched his granddaughter's cheek and shook his head with a chuckle.
"You little rascal, are you trying to scare Grandpa? Of course, I'll protect you. I'll never let anyone bully you for as long as I live."
Dugu Yan nodded firmly. "I believe you, Grandpa!"
"And actually, Grandpa, I know a way…"
She wanted to tell him about Zhou Sheng'an.
But she couldn't.
The moment she tried to say it, a formless warning loomed over her.
As if speaking those words would bring utter destruction upon her.
…
The scene shifted.
Inside Zhou Sheng'an's humble cottage.
Ji Xiang and Da Ming had returned. They stood in the courtyard, their moods heavy, their faces barely concealing their fury.
Senior Brother was still dead.
Dugu Yan clung to Qian Renxue, sobbing uncontrollably. She cried so hard that she fainted more than once.
Da Ming, Er Ming, Du Bubai, and Ji Xiang all clenched their fists, their eyes burning with only one desire—revenge!
Even those like Du Bubai and Ji Xiang, who had barely interacted with Poison Douluo, were now consumed by rage.
They had come from the same lineage. They could not sit idly by while Poison Douluo perished!
"Teacher, let us avenge him! My power has already reached Level 99! Even if I can't defeat them, I'll at least tear a piece of flesh from the Spirit Hall! Blood must be repaid with blood!"
"Exactly! That wretched woman, Bibi Dong, dared to hang Senior Brother's corpse at the gates of Spirit City! I swear I'll rip her apart and devour her! I will not become a god until this vengeance is fulfilled!"
"Teacher, I can mobilize the military forces of the Heaven Dou Empire against Spirit City."
Finally, Da Ming knelt down.
"Please, Teacher, grant us this!"
"Thud!"
Everyone knelt together.
Zhou Sheng'an looked at them and sighed.
"I understand your feelings. I feel the same way. Since that's the case—then let's have our revenge. It will start with Bibi Dong."
Da Ming and the others immediately brightened with excitement.
"Teacher, what do we do?!"
They spoke in unison.
Zhou Sheng'an replied calmly, "With your current strength, there's no need for complicated strategies. Bibi Dong may have reached Level 99 and possesses great combat power, but she is not your match."
"I have already located them. Follow my guidance and seek her out."
With a wave of his hand, a few Blue Silver Grass leaves landed in their palms.
The leaves carried a message, guiding them toward their target.
The four disciples bowed deeply to Zhou Sheng'an before leaving the cottage together.
Zhou Sheng'an clasped his hands behind his back, watching them disappear into the distance, his expression unreadable.
Qian Renxue's eyes flickered with concern.
After training in the cottage, she knew all too well how terrifying Da Ming and Er Ming had become.
Would her grandfather be able to stop them?
And that woman…
[On November 30, 2028, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, was ambushed on her way back to the Pope's Palace and died on the spot.]
[Simultaneously, Spirit City suffered a beast tide. The city fell, and the Pope's Palace was trampled to ruins.]
[A Titan Giant Ape rammed into Pope Mountain, causing a massive collapse, splitting the mountain in half.]
