Spirit Hall in Uproar, Qian Daoliu Gravely Wounds and Drives Away Bibi Dong
Boom!
When everyone on Douluo Continent saw the contents of the heavenly screen, their minds reeled.
Heavens!
The previous Pope of Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji, had been killed by Bibi Dong, who had done it by devouring his Martial Soul and cultivation. That was far too cruel.
Qian Xunji had been Bibi Dong's teacher. How could she have done such a thing? It was truly vicious.
At that moment, everyone on Douluo Continent began to view Bibi Dong with deep suspicion and intense loathing.
How could someone so evil be Pope of Spirit Hall?
Bibi Dong, meanwhile, was filled with shock and unwillingness when she saw the heavenly screen. The secret she had kept for twelve years had been exposed for all to see.
How could she establish her authority in Spirit Hall now? How could she face Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue?
Would Qian Daoliu come after me with his sword?
At the thought, Bibi Dong's face darkened as she realized the danger.
Although her Soul Power Level had long since reached Level 99, the restrictions of the Rakshasa Nine Trials meant she could only display the fighting strength of Level 98. She was no match for Qian Daoliu.
"Your Holiness, is all this true? Were you the one who killed Qian Xunji?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had seen the message on the heavenly screen and rushed over.
As they came, all the elders and worships of the Elder Hall could no longer sit still.
The elders were all waiting to see what would happen, while the six great worships had rushed to the Angel Temple.
After seeing the message on the heavenly screen, Qian Daoliu's eyes were full of helplessness.
In truth, he had long known that Bibi Dong was the culprit who had killed Qian Xunji.
There were four reasons he had not exposed her and had even supported her as Pope.
First, Qian Xunji had forced himself on Bibi Dong in a secret chamber back then, and she had given birth to Qian Renxue. Qian Daoliu felt guilty about it.
Second, Qian Renxue had already lost her father, and he did not want her to lose her mother as well. Even though Bibi Dong treated Qian Renxue poorly, he could not bear to leave Qian Renxue a child without either parent.
Third, Bibi Dong was Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden and Qian Renxue's birth mother, so it was only natural for her to inherit the position of Pope.
Fourth, he was strong enough to control the overall situation, and Qian Renxue's relationship with Bibi Dong could also bind Bibi Dong to Spirit Hall.
Now, the news that Bibi Dong had killed Qian Xunji had been exposed, and everyone knew.
If he made no response and continued to pretend he knew nothing without offering an explanation, he would have no way to answer to Qian Renxue, Spirit Hall, or everyone on Douluo Continent.
So he had to take action. He could not let Bibi Dong remain Pope.
"Great Enshrined, Bibi Dong killed Xunji. We can't let her off. We must kill her to avenge him."
Second Worship Golden Crocodile Douluo was a loyal servant of the Qian Clan. He would never allow Qian Xunji's murderer to live.
The other worships felt the same. They could not tolerate a murderer serving as Pope.
Even though Bibi Dong was a powerful Super Douluo who had contributed greatly to Spirit Hall, it could not make up for the crime of killing Qian Xunji.
"Everyone, I will not let Bibi Dong off lightly, but Xun'er was in the wrong first. He forced himself on Bibi Dong against her will."
"Not only has Bibi Dong made enormous contributions to Spirit Hall, but she is also Xue'er's birth mother."
"I don't want Xue'er to lose another loved one, so I have decided that, as long as she can withstand my strongest attack, I will spare her life for now, expel her from Spirit Hall, and issue a lifelong order to hunt her down."
"I think that should give the world an explanation."
Looking at the six agitated worships, Qian Daoliu could only tell them what he had in mind.
The six worships fell into thought upon hearing this.
Indeed, they all knew about what had happened back then. Qian Xunji had truly been in the wrong first.
If Bibi Dong were killed, who knew what kind of blow it would be to Qian Renxue?
"We will follow the Great Enshrined's decision in all things."
Golden Crocodile Douluo, who doted on Qian Renxue most of all, was the first to respond.
The other worships nodded one after another, indicating their agreement.
"Thank you all for understanding. Come with me."
Seeing that they agreed, Qian Daoliu released a terrifying Soul Power pressure and took to the air.
Everyone in Spirit Hall sensed the powerful presence, and their expressions changed slightly.
They knew Qian Daoliu was going to make a move against Bibi Dong.
After all, Qian Xunji was Qian Daoliu's only son. He and his son's killer could not live under the same sky.
"Your Holiness, the Great Enshrined is coming for you. You should flee, quickly."
Chrysanthemum Douluo was still loyal. The moment he sensed Qian Daoliu's presence, he urged Bibi Dong to leave.
"Sigh, it seems there's no place left for me in Spirit Hall."
"Elder Ju, Ghost Elder, if you had the chance, would you still be willing to follow me?"
Bibi Dong sensed Qian Daoliu's killing intent and knew a battle was unavoidable.
Even if Qian Daoliu could not kill her, she feared she could no longer stay in Spirit Hall.
"Your Holiness, if we have another chance, we are willing to follow you."
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance and cupped their fists slightly, pledging their loyalty to Bibi Dong.
"Good. Hearing you say that makes it all worthwhile!"
Having received their answer, Bibi Dong immediately took to the air and flew rapidly toward the outskirts of Spirit City.
She had poured her heart and blood into Spirit Hall. Even if there had to be a fight, it would be outside the city.
"Bibi Dong, do you think you can escape?"
"Give me back my son's life!"
Qian Daoliu pursued Bibi Dong outside Spirit City and stopped her with an angry shout.
Everyone in Spirit City heard the angry shout and knew Qian Daoliu was going to kill Bibi Dong. Their eyes were full of conflict and helplessness.
Over the years, Bibi Dong had done many things to benefit the vast majority of Soul Masters.
If Bibi Dong died, there was no telling what would become of Spirit Hall.
"Great Enshrined, I admit that I did kill Qian Xunji."
"But if Tang Hao hadn't gravely wounded Qian Xunji, I wouldn't have had the chance. So his death can't be laid entirely at my feet."
"Given the state of his injuries, he wouldn't have lived much longer even if I hadn't acted."
"He was the one who defiled me first. What was wrong with my killing a dying man for revenge?"
"Over the years, I've also made enormous contributions to Spirit Hall. Can't those make up for it?"
Looking at the murderous Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong still wanted to make an effort.
She did not want to leave Spirit Hall, even if it meant stepping down.
As long as she remained in Spirit Hall, she would have a chance to rise again.
"Bibi Dong, there is no need for further words."
"Even if Xun'er might not have survived without your intervention, it was not your place to kill him."
"In view of your contributions to Spirit Hall, if you can withstand one attack from me at full strength, I will spare your dog life."
"But from this day forth, you will no longer be a member of Spirit Hall."
"Die!"
With a stern shout, Qian Daoliu summoned his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar and ninth Soul Skill, Angel Descent.
In an instant, a gigantic Six-Winged Angel appeared high in the sky, a sacred sword in its hand, and slashed through the air.
The terrifying Soul Power fluctuations made everyone in the city tremble with fear, as though the world were ending.
Was this the strength of a Limit Douluo?
It was far too powerful.
Just as Qian Daoliu made his move, all of Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo arrived to watch the battle.
Aside from Golden Crocodile Douluo, none of them had ever seen Qian Daoliu attack at full strength.
"Immortal Body!"
Bibi Dong watched the sacred sword slash toward her and felt its world-destroying might. Her face darkened to the extreme.
She had still underestimated Qian Daoliu's strength.
To stay alive, she had no choice but to summon her Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul and use her ninth Soul Skill.
The moment the enormous Angel Holy Sword slashed down, her body instantly transformed into energy.
The Angel Holy Sword passed straight through her body, leaving a sword scar tens of meters deep and hundreds of meters long in the ground.
Bibi Dong's ninth Soul Skill, Immortal Body, was powerful. Without god-level power, no one could kill her.
But Qian Daoliu could draw upon a portion of Angel Divine Power. He was a Demigod expert, and his attack at full strength was infinitely close to that of a god.
Although Bibi Dong did not die, she was gravely wounded and had no choice but to flee.
"Qian Daoliu, I will remember today's sword strike."
"I, Bibi Dong, will return one day, sooner or later."
