"Obtained"

The man and the woman in white armor were Ye Qin and Mina.

"Who are you?" Qian Xunji asked coldly.

"Bibi Dong's man. What do you think?" Ye Qin replied with a cold smile.

"Yu Xiaogang?" Qian Xunji asked in astonishment.

"Don't compare me to that useless man!" A sinister curve touched Ye Qin's lips. "Tell me, how do you want to die?"

"Hmph! You two dare cause trouble in Pope Hall?" Qian Xunji shouted. Nine Soul Rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—flashed beneath his feet!

"Lucifer, show him what you can do!" Ye Qin said fearlessly.

"As you command, my master!" Lucifer smiled faintly. As eight black and one red Soul Ring appeared beneath his feet, the Fallen Angel behind him spread its wings!

Lucifer immediately swung the Sword of Corruption in his hand and slashed down at Qian Xunji!

Qian Xunji snorted coldly and immediately raised the Angel Sword to meet him!

The two swords collided, and Qian Xunji's body began to tremble violently. His face twisted in agony, while Lucifer looked utterly relaxed and pleased.

That was only natural. Lucifer's martial soul was the Fallen Angel, which, before evolving, stood on the same level as the Six-Winged Angel!

However, Lucifer's Soul Power Level was a full rank higher than Qian Xunji's!

Though level ninety-five and level ninety-six seemed separated by only one rank, in truth, it was the difference between a Titled Douluo and a peak Douluo!

The gap between them was as vast as an uncrossable chasm!

"Lucifer, end this quickly!" Ye Qin shouted.

"Yes!" Lucifer answered, then said to Qian Xunji, "I originally wanted to play with you a little longer, but my master has given an order. My apologies!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lucifer unleashed his Soul Power in full and instantly sent Qian Xunji flying, smashing him heavily into the stone wall of the secret chamber!

Lucifer immediately pressed his advantage, wildly slashing at the airborne Qian Xunji!

Qian Xunji was formidable, but he had yet to regain his footing. Countless wounds were instantly carved across his body, and he crashed heavily to the ground!

Qian Xunji did not dare continue fighting. He transformed into a streak of light and frantically fled toward the outside of Pope Hall!

"Lucifer, stop him!" Ye Qin shouted coldly.

Hearing this, Lucifer immediately pursued with his sword. Mina also hurriedly used her spatial power to bring Ye Qin and the others outside the hall!

"Hmph, you're finished!" Once outside, Qian Xunji became somewhat unrestrained. "Where are the elders of Spirit Hall?!"

Following Qian Xunji's long howl, numerous figures rose into the air from Elder Hall and surrounded Ye Qin and the others!

Capricorn Douluo, whom Ye Qin had seen before, was among them.

Nine Soul Rings flashed beneath every one of them. They were all Titled Douluo!

At the same time, a deep voice rang out like a great bell. "Insolence!"

Immediately afterward, a golden beam shot into the sky from the direction of Elder Hall and blasted toward Ye Qin!

"Fifth Soul Ring, White Dragon Sacred Shield!" Without time to think, Mina immediately condensed a white shield of light to block the golden beam's path!

However, in just an instant, Mina's shield was shattered by the golden beam!

Seeing this, Lucifer abandoned his pursuit of Qian Xunji and joined Mina in blocking the golden beam!

At that moment, an aged yet imposing figure emerged from within the golden light. His white hair hung loose over his shoulders. Though his face showed the signs of age, he was full of vigor, and a sharp gleam shone in his eyes.

"Father!" Qian Xunji cried excitedly upon seeing the old man.

Hearing Qian Xunji's form of address, Ye Qin immediately understood who had arrived: one of the three great Peerless Douluo of Douluo Continent, the Hall Master of Elder Hall, the Great Enshrined of Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu!

Boom! Qian Daoliu's massive palm came crashing down, forcing Lucifer and Mina to retreat at the same time and land on either side of Ye Qin!

Against a Peerless Douluo, Lucifer and Mina were still no match!

"Who are you? How dare you attack the Pope of Spirit Hall?" Qian Daoliu stopped in midair and shouted coldly at Ye Qin and the others.

"Great Enshrined, it was Qian..." Ye Nanxi began to explain to Qian Daoliu.

Before she could finish, Qian Xunji coldly interrupted, "Father, this traitor Ye Nanxi colluded with these three people in an attempt to assassinate me!"

"Qian Xunji, you beast! You'll die a miserable death!" Ye Nanxi raged.

"Qian Xunji, you're the dignified Pope. What, you dare do it but not admit it?" Ye Qin sneered.

"Hmph! What is there that I dare not admit?" Qian Xunji said coldly. "I merely..."

But when the words reached his lips, he found them difficult to utter.

"Enough! No matter who you are, anyone who dares cause trouble in Spirit Hall has only one fate—death!" At that moment, Qian Daoliu seemed to realize something and roared furiously.

As the word "death" fell, Qian Daoliu's palm had already struck at Ye Qin once more!

"System, can you really bear to watch me die like this?" Ye Qin asked with a terrified expression.

"Fine, then I'll lend you a hand!" The system prompt sounded. Immediately afterward, eight figures appeared around Ye Qin, in addition to Lucifer and Mina!

All eight were concealed beneath black cloaks, their true appearances impossible to discern. Yet beneath each of their feet flashed nine Soul Rings—eight black and one red!

"Ah!"

Faced with so many suddenly appearing experts, not only the elders and enshrined of Spirit Hall, but even Qian Daoliu revealed a look of terror as he hastily braked in midair!

"System, now that's a lineup!" Ye Qin said with a slight curve of his lips as he surveyed the ten Titled Douluo around him.

"There's one more!" the system replied.

The next moment, another black-cloaked figure descended before Ye Qin.

What was especially shocking was that beneath his feet bloomed nine extraordinary Soul Rings—eight red and one gold—radiating the utmost brilliance!

"What?!"

Seeing this, Qian Daoliu was utterly stunned!

What did a golden Soul Ring signify? A Million-Year Soul Ring!

The supreme expert made no movement, yet the phantom of a massive golden clock emerged above his head. At the same time, the ninth golden Soul Ring beneath his feet flashed!

End Time Stasis!

With the expert's mechanical voice, a mysterious light spread across the entire Douluo Continent at an unimaginable speed!

At that moment, every object became completely frozen, whether drifting clouds or flowing water!

Only Ye Qin and the eleven Titled Douluo followers could move!

They immediately attacked from all directions and, at incredible speed, slaughtered every elder of Spirit Hall!

Including Qian Daoliu!

Setting aside the fact that he had been caught in Time Stasis, Ye Qin's side also possessed several Peerless Douluo. He was simply incapable of withstanding them!

Only Qian Xunji remained!

Only after all the elders and enshrined of Spirit Hall had fallen did time begin to move once again!

Looking at all the fallen Titled Douluo of Spirit Hall before him, Qian Xunji was immediately terrified beyond measure.

"You... who exactly are you?" Qian Xunji asked Ye Qin in extreme terror.

"You're not worthy of knowing my name. Lucifer, lend me your sword!" Ye Qin said with a cold smile.

Without hesitation, Lucifer tossed the Sword of Corruption in his hand to Ye Qin. After catching it, Ye Qin accurately plunged it into Qian Xunji's heart!

Qian Xunji was immediately corroded by the power of corruption, and in despair, his life came to an end!

At that moment, the woman in Ye Qin's arms suddenly awoke. Looking at Ye Qin, she asked in shock, "Who are you?"

Hearing this, Ye Qin smiled gently at the woman in his arms.

Seeing Ye Qin's handsome face and his indulgent gaze, Bibi Dong shuddered. Her starry eyes stared fixedly at Ye Qin, and she said nothing for a long time.

"Congratulations, Ye Qin. You have completed the fifth-step mission and obtained Bibi Dong's unspoiled body!"

The mechanical prompt sounded once more, and the scene around Ye Qin vanished again. He returned to the room in Spirit Hall Grand Hotel.

At the same time, inside Pope Hall, a ray of light invisible to the naked eye entered Bibi Dong's body as she sat upon the throne!
