I Won't Rest Until One of Us Is Dead!

Douluo Hall!

That was the sacred resting place of Titled Douluo.

Even Bibi Dong, the Pope herself, had to think twice before entering.

Yet Bibi Dong had somehow slipped in with a child. That was simply absurd.

This was not something Qian Daoliu should have been able to do!

Unless...

The Nine Trials of the Angel!

At that thought, Bibi Dong's gaze toward Qian Daoliu gained a trace of hostility.

Qian Daoliu instinctively held the little boy's hand and replied softly.

"Bibi Dong, it seems you've returned. Good—I happen to have something to discuss with you."

Bibi Dong frowned deeply. "You want to see me?"

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, his tone calm.

"That's right. Have you been in contact with a child named Lin Ning recently?"

Hearing Qian Daoliu mention Lin Ning after all, Bibi Dong nodded and replied.

"Yes. I came to see you this time because of this as well. I've already taken Lin Ning as my disciple. She will be my designated successor."

When it came to Lin Ning, Bibi Dong, as her mother, stated her position without the slightest hesitation.

Qian Daoliu was indeed taken aback by those words, his brow furrowing slightly.

"Successor? You've already accepted her as your student?"

"And have you found the force behind her?"

Clearly!

Qian Daoliu could also guess that there had to be an extremely terrifying force behind a gifted child like Lin Ning.

For example...

That mysterious Titled Douluo!

But what surprised Qian Daoliu even more was...

Bibi Dong's assessment of Lin Ning.

Successor!

The successor to the Pope of Spirit Hall!

After all, even Hu Liena, her disciple, had never received such an evaluation from Bibi Dong.

But now!?

Bibi Dong had actually called Lin Ning her successor. The significance was entirely different.

Qian Daoliu knew very well just how proud Bibi Dong was.

For Bibi Dong to acknowledge someone as her successor, that person's talent had to at least equal hers—or even surpass it.

Still...

A six-year-old Soul Ancestor with four Black Soul Rings was indeed more than qualified.

Seeing Qian Daoliu's deeply furrowed brow, Bibi Dong immediately brought out the explanation she had long prepared.

"No. But a Level 97 Titled Douluo was hunting down the two siblings. Thousand Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo died while fighting that person, and I happened to arrive in time."

At those words, Qian Daoliu's brow furrowed even more deeply.

He had never expected Thousand Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo, two Enshrined, to have died!

But...

The story was not entirely implausible.

A Level 97 Titled Douluo did have a chance of fighting Thousand Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo to the death.

Moreover, Lin Ning had revealed quite a few secrets.

It was not impossible for such a genius to attract the pursuit of a Level 97 Titled Douluo.

Half-believing and half-doubting, Qian Daoliu asked, "That Level 97 Titled Douluo was pursuing Lin Ning?"

Bibi Dong nodded slightly and continued.

"Yes. I dealt with him. As for the rest, I don't know much. What I can confirm is that this person isn't in Spirit Hall's records."

Seeing how convincing Bibi Dong sounded, Qian Daoliu no longer doubted her. He nodded and immediately said,

"Since she is your disciple, that makes things easier. With such high talent, that child can become your successor."

Hearing the change in Qian Daoliu's tone, Bibi Dong became guarded.

"What are you planning to do to Xiao Ning?"

Qian Daoliu smiled and waved his hand, pointing at the child beside him.

"Nothing. I merely want to find this child a suitable partner."

The moment he said that!

Bibi Dong, as a mother, could no longer hold herself back. She let out a mocking laugh and said disdainfully,

"A partner? She is my successor. Then who is this child?"

Qian Daoliu was not too surprised by Bibi Dong's contemptuous tone.

Bibi Dong had always been this proud.

Qian Daoliu replied calmly, "The heir of Douluo Hall!"

At those words, Bibi Dong looked at the child beside Qian Daoliu in surprise.

The inheritor of Douluo Hall!

As the Pope of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong naturally understood what that represented.

The Nine Trials of the Angel could only be fully opened with the recognition of the inheritance.

Nine curtains of light meant the Nine Trials of the Angel had been fully opened; eight curtains of light meant one was the inheritor of Douluo Hall.

In other words!

This child was just one step away from opening the Nine Trials of the Angel!

Most importantly!

Qian Daoliu's intentions were deeply suspicious!

Ever since accepting the Rakshasa Nine Trials, Bibi Dong had come to understand the general contents of the Nine Trials of the Angel.

That was right!

Angel and Rakshasa had always stood in opposition to each other!

Once both sides accepted their inheritances, they could even sense traces of one another.

At the same time!

Bibi Dong understood Qian Daoliu's true purpose.

Descendants!

He wanted to use Lin Ning as a tool to bear a genius capable of accepting the Nine Trials of the Angel!

The thought of someone wanting to make her daughter do such a thing was more than Bibi Dong could bear. Her voice turned ice-cold.

"No! Don't even think about it, Qian Daoliu!"

"If you dare make a move, I, Bibi Dong, will not rest until one of us is dead!"

Bibi Dong's firm declaration left Qian Daoliu stunned for a moment.

But!

Qian Daoliu did not take it too seriously. That faint smile remained on his face.

"Nothing is impossible!"

"If you make this happen, I can place the Elder Hall entirely under your control."

"Other than Douluo Hall, you may handle everything else as you please. I can guarantee that the Elder Hall will no longer interfere with your decisions."

If the people of the Elder Hall had heard those words, they would probably have been scared senseless on the spot.

What a joke!

The reason Spirit Hall was currently divided into the Pope's faction and the Elder faction...

Ultimately, it was because the Elder Hall had Qian Daoliu, the Great Enshrined, keeping things in check.

Otherwise?

Did they really think Bibi Dong, a Level 99 Peerless Douluo, was just for show?

If Qian Daoliu was excluded, the other Enshrined of the Elder Hall would not be enough to handle Bibi Dong even if they were all tied together.

But now?

To achieve this goal, Qian Daoliu was actually willing to relinquish all authority over Spirit Hall.

He was even completely abandoning the Enshrined of the Elder Hall. This was utterly ridiculous.

Without Qian Daoliu's restraint, Spirit Hall would become Bibi Dong's personal domain. She might even be able to change the entire situation across the Douluo Continent.

However...

Faced with such temptation, Bibi Dong still did not hesitate in the slightest. Her eyes hardened as she stared directly at Qian Daoliu, whom she had always feared.

"I said it!"

"If you dare touch Xiao Ning, I, Bibi Dong, will not rest until one of us is dead!"

The author has a question here. Could you readers answer it?

Did Qian Daoliu actually know about the Rakshasa Nine Trials?

If he knew, then logically, the original Bibi Dong should not have survived.

If he did not know, then why would Bibi Dong say that Qian Daoliu had arranged Qian Renxue's fate?

The setting here is that he did not know about the Rakshasa Nine Trials.

Another setting.

This uses the new Douluo setting—the new setting regarding what Qian Xunji did to Bibi Dong.

Qian Xunji needed Bibi Dong to leave behind a descendant.

That was the reason for this plot.
