We All Came Up With the Plan, but When Trouble Comes, I Face It Alone?

"Report."

Worship Hall.

A guard entered the main hall, his black robe with plum blossom patterns swaying as he walked.

He walked to the center of the main hall.

They stopped immediately.

He then bent over, knelt on one knee, and spoke in a respectful but firm voice.

"Speak."

A light, airy voice rang out.

Inside the main hall.

A middle-aged man, dressed in a loose light blue robe, was sitting cross-legged on the ground, resting with his eyes closed.

This is not someone else.

It was none other than the leader of the Spirit Hall, the super-strong man nicknamed "Invincible in the Sky, "Qian Daoliu!

"Reporting to the Grand Elder, several Xiao Li have been dragged to the gates of the Spirit Hall and are to be beheaded as a warning. The gates of the Spirit Hall are now completely surrounded by the city's inhabitants. His Holiness the Pope has also personally gone to the scene."

The guard slightly raised his head to make it easier to speak, but kept his head down, his expression and tone extremely respectful.

Even though Qian Daoliu was sitting cross-legged with his back to him, he dared not show the slightest disrespect.

On the figure ahead.

An invisible, towering pressure emanated from it, making one feel as insignificant as a mortal facing Mount Tai.

"Okay, you can go now."

The faint voice came again, devoid of joy or sorrow, as if it were the voice of a robot devoid of any emotion.

"Promise."

He replied respectfully.

The guard then stood up, still bowing, and slowly retreated.

Only when they were almost at the entrance of the main hall did they turn around and quickly leave.

After leaving the Worship Hall.

The guard then straightened up from his bowed position.

Worship Hall.

What is she trying to do?

"Deterrence?"

Or is it about winning public support?

"What use is the support of ordinary people?"

"It's nothing special, just a gimmick."

"Let it go... As long as it doesn't endanger the Spirit Hall, let her be."

"Consider it out of respect for Xue'er, and consider it compensation for what happened back then."

Murmurs echoed in the main hall.

When the name Xue'er was uttered by Qian Daoliu.

A smile inadvertently appeared on his originally indifferent face.

However, it was fleeting.

He once again transformed into a blank, expressionless machine, sitting motionless in place.

And it was at this moment.

Several footsteps echoed again from the Worship Hall.

"Grand Elder, Bibi Dong has already made an example of someone outside, and you still have the mood to sit here?"

The Worshipper Golden Crocodile was concise and directly stated the purpose of the visit.

"Yes, Grand Elder, Bibi Dong's actions are clearly a veiled attack on us."

"We're the monkeys; she's putting on a show for us!"

"This is absolutely outrageous! Grand Elder, you are the strongest and most senior, why don't you show up and teach her a lesson, let her know who really calls the shots in the Spirit Hall!"

The other worshippers echoed this sentiment.

That's why we came.

That's because they felt that Bibi Dong's actions were a veiled attack on them.

Because the Spirit Hall's financial power is not centralized.

Therefore, these elders who were in charge of the offerings have used their positions to gain a lot of benefits.

And this is what Bibi Dong is doing now.

The underlying message of making an example of someone is obvious to anyone who isn't stupid.

What's going on here?

Isn't this a blatant threat?

These elders who offered their services were all very powerful.

When have I ever been treated like this?

They only took a little money, is it really necessary to make such a veiled criticism of them?

They wanted to launch a direct attack and teach Bibi Dong a lesson.

Let her recognize the difference between the two kings.

Although they usually kept to themselves and did not confront Qian Daoliu directly during the general meetings.

But that doesn't mean these offerings are easy targets!

So.

Upon learning of this, the group immediately made a decision and formed a team to come to Qian Daoliu's place.

After all, he was the one who helped Bibi Dong rise to power.

Even if you want to teach them a lesson, you still need Qian Daoliu's permission.

They came as a team.

This move also implicitly carries a sense of coercion.

"What... does this mean?"

He spoke slowly and calmly, without a trace of panic in his voice.

Qian Daoliu sat quietly cross-legged on the ground in Putian, his eyes never opening and his body making no other movements.

They completely disregarded these few retainers!

"Grand Elder, Bibi Dong's actions are clearly a challenge to our Worship Hall. Haven't you realized that yet?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo trembled for no apparent reason, and his imposing aura immediately weakened.

"That's right. Grand Elder, anyone with eyes can see the meaning behind Bibi Dong's actions."

"That's right. Everyone in the Spirit Hall knows that our Worship Hall holds a portion of the financial power. If we don't resist, won't she take advantage of us and try to seize that portion of the financial power as well?"

"Grand Elder, we urge you to take action! This matter cannot be delayed. Otherwise, our control over the Spirit Hall will only weaken!"

A Golden Crocodile has emerged.

The remaining worshippers echoed this sentiment.

Normally, they would never dare to speak to Qian Daoliu like that.

But now.

They were fighting for their own interests at that moment.

As retainers of the Spirit Hall, they undoubtedly wield considerable power.

Although on ordinary days...

He appeared rather timid and submissive at the conference.

But this is what Qian Daoliu demanded.

Do not have any conflict with Bibi Dong.

If there are any problems, just explain the situation to him and he will naturally solve the problem for everyone.

"She executed corrupt officials simply by following the rules. The rules of the Spirit Hall have long stipulated this. Those Xiao Li the rules and deserve to die."

As they were talking.

Qian Daoliu turned his body around and faced several worshippers.

Upon seeing Qian Daoliu's actions...

Standing in the main hall, the Golden Crocodile instinctively took a step back.

The other worshippers reacted even more strongly.

They all retreated, hiding behind the Golden Crocodile, and then warily watched Qian Daoliu.

They seemed poised to turn and run at the slightest sign of trouble.

I fucking... those bastards!

We'll devise plans together and share the good fortune.

Now that something's happened, am I left to fend for myself alone?

The Golden Crocodile stood frozen in place.

I was taken aback by the reaction of the worshippers.

At the same time, he was secretly cursing his incompetent teammates.

"You came up with this idea?"

Qian Daoliu smiled, looking very 'kind and approachable'.

Golden Crocodile's heart skipped a beat.

Just as he was about to retort, his teammates jumped out from behind him, giving him no chance to explain.

"That's right, Grand Elder, we all came here after listening to Golden Crocodile's advice."

"Grand Elder, please don't be offended. Elder Golden Crocodile was only doing this for the good of our Worship Hall."

"I know nothing, Grand Elder. I'm just here for the fun of it."

Several retainers, one after another, choked Golden Crocodile's attempt to explain itself.

He glared hatefully at the people behind him.

Golden Crocodile reluctantly nodded.

Seeing his reaction, Qian Daoliu immediately burst into laughter:

"Hahaha... What are you afraid of? We're all on the same side, do you think I'd eat you up?"
