Bibi Dong's Choice and the Worship Hall's Countermeasures

Pressed at every turn by Chu Xuan, Bibi Dong finally raised her head.

She slowly stood up, her tears already wiped away.

If not for her reddened eyes, who would have known that tears had just been streaming down her face like rain?

"Thank you for telling me the truth, God Child. I will handle this properly, personally."

She lowered her head after speaking, but her tight grip on her scepter revealed the turmoil in her heart.

The veins standing out on her forehead suggested that her hatred had already risen to the heavens.

Chu Xuan hadn't expected Bibi Dong to accept the truth so quickly.

By the look of it, she was even planning to do something.

Probably against Yu Xiaogang.

As the saying went, the deeper the love, the fiercer the hatred.

Back then, she had poured all her feelings into Yu Xiaogang, only to discover in the end that she had been deceived.

Such unforgettable feelings would turn into heaven-flooding hatred.

That old good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang probably wouldn't have an easy time of it in the future.

"Three days. I'll give you three days, and I want to see how you handle it."

"If I'm not satisfied..."

"If the God Child is not satisfied, I will resign as Pope."

"Your Holiness!"

Bibi Dong's interruption gave Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo quite a fright.

What would it take to satisfy the God Child?

Nobody knew.

If the God Child was still dissatisfied after she had dealt with it, the Pope would really have to resign.

For veterans like them, who had diligently supported her for years, that would be a calamity of the highest order.

Chu Xuan was quite satisfied for now. "In that case, come to the Worship Hall in three days and tell me how you handled it."

"Yes."

With that, Bibi Dong took Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo and withdrew.

The seven great enshrined exchanged glances and waited for Chu Xuan to give his orders.

The God Child's methods truly reached the heavens. He could even produce a divine artifact like the Wheel of Time.

That settled it. He had to be the reincarnation of the Creator God.

Otherwise, there was simply no explaining so many unreasonable things.

Spirit Hall was really about to take off.

If they clung tightly to a powerful backer like him, perhaps even they would have a chance to become gods.

Chu Xuan looked at them for a long moment and said, "Since I'm now the Spirit Hall God Child, I naturally hope Spirit Hall will continue to prosper."

"As for Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang, let her handle it herself. We'll see what she comes up with in three days."

"As for Spirit Hall's future, I'll point you in just one direction: Tang Hao's son."

Tang Hao's son!

Qian Daoliu's heart tightened.

What did he mean by Tang Hao's son?

He recalled the pursuit of Tang Hao all those years ago.

Tang Hao had indeed had a child back then.

But the child had vanished without a trace for years.

Did Spirit Hall's future have something to do with Tang Hao's son?

The connection couldn't be a positive one. It could only be negative.

Perhaps Tang Hao's son would come to Spirit Hall seeking revenge; after all, his mother had been killed by Spirit Hall back then.

"God Child, do you mean that Tang Hao's son could threaten Spirit Hall's safety, or even... pose a deadly threat?"

Qian Daoliu's expression grew grave.

An alarming possibility surfaced in his mind.

If it was true, Spirit Hall had to devise a countermeasure.

Chu Xuan didn't answer, but his expression said it all.

"I can't do everything for you. Discuss Tang Hao's son among yourselves."

"Now arrange a place for me to stay."

So much had happened in one day. It was time to find somewhere and sort it all out.

Most importantly, he needed to understand his Martial Soul and develop ways to use it, among other things.

Qian Daoliu hurriedly said, "Please stay in the palace on the eastern side of the Worship Hall, God Child. It's quieter there."

Chu Xuan nodded and had someone take him to the eastern palace.

Inside the Angel Temple, the seven enshrined sat in silence.

A full ten minutes passed before Qian Daoliu rubbed the space between his brows and said, "We need to deal carefully with Tang Hao's son, as the God Child said."

"Spirit Hall has existed for many years and is vital to the order of the entire world. We can't let one person destroy it."

The Second Worship immediately stepped forward. "Big brother, that's simple. We just have to kill Tang Hao's son!"

Demon Subduing Douluo nodded in agreement. "That's right. Unfortunately, the God Child didn't make it clear who Tang Hao's son actually is. Otherwise, this would be much easier."

"The God Child has already given us so much information. From here on, we must rely on ourselves."

"Conduct a thorough investigation into Tang Hao's son, starting with the route Tang Hao took when he fled. Investigate anyone suspicious thoroughly."

"Once we find him, we must find an opportunity to kill Tang Hao's son!"

Qian Daoliu gave the final order.

Find him, then kill him!

Finding one person in a vast sea of people was indeed no easy task.

But Spirit Hall was a vast and powerful organization. As long as they were willing to spend the time and pay the price, they would find him eventually.

Since he was Tang Hao's son, he should be using the Clear Sky Hammer.

They could thoroughly investigate children of twelve or thirteen across the Douluo Continent, singling out anyone who used a hammer-type Martial Soul for closer scrutiny.

If they couldn't find him in a month, then a year. If not in a year, then three years, five years!

As long as they put in the effort, they would find him eventually.

Once they found him, they would kill him, and Spirit Hall's deadly threat would be eliminated.

As for how Tang Hao would react when the time came?

To hell with his reaction!

Qian Daoliu didn't mind personally stepping in to slay Tang Hao.

To be safe, all seven great enshrined could act together.

There was no need to worry about the Clear Sky Sect, either.

The one they really needed to worry about was Tang Chen, who had been missing for years.

He always felt that fellow was unlikely to be dead.

Perhaps he was hiding in some remote corner, cultivating in seclusion.

In the Pope Hall, Bibi Dong sat on the papal throne after returning and remained motionless for a full half hour.

Below her, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo kept their heads lowered. The atmosphere throughout the hall was oppressive.

Now that they knew about the Pope's past and how she had been deceived by a scoundrel, she wouldn't silence them by killing them, would she?

"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, find Yu Xiaogang. I want to know where he is!"

At those words, both men raised their heads.

Find Yu Xiaogang?

Was she going to kill him, or did His Holiness still have lingering feelings for him?

Bibi Dong watched them calmly, her emotions difficult to read.

"Once you've found him, find out everything about the people around him."

"Also, suppress the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's businesses."

"I want that bastard to wish he were dead!"

Hearing that, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were relieved.

His Holiness truly loved and hated without restraint. She was still the same formidable woman.

Killing Yu Xiaogang outright was not the wisest choice.

Slowly tormenting him was the best option.

"Make the source material for the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul public. Go to the library and retrieve the records of what Yu Xiaogang borrowed back then, and establish a complete chain of evidence."

As soon as she made that decision, Chrysanthemum Douluo said, "A wise decision, Your Holiness!"

Yu Xiaogang was someone who cared a great deal about saving face.

Spirit Hall would make the source material public and lay out the evidence.

When he found out, he would probably be so furious he'd explode on the spot and spiral up to the heavens.

He cared about saving face? Wanted to prove himself?

Then they'd make him lose face before the whole world.

The palace on the eastern side of the Angel Temple was quite large, and there were plenty of people to attend to him.

In his bedchamber, Chu Xuan dismissed everyone and brought up his status panel.

After absorbing three Soul Rings, his Soul Power had already reached level thirty-nine.

He only needed one more push to obtain his fourth God-Given Soul Ring.

With how lavish the God-Level Choice system was, he'd probably reach level forty in less than two days.

Then, if he triggered another God-Level Choice, his fourth Soul Ring would definitely be at the ten-thousand-year level again.

It was time to go stir things up and see if he could trigger a choice.
