Rectifying the Saint Hall

"Humph! Salas, you've got some nerve. Have you forgotten Spirit Hall's creed? Abusing your authority to oppress civilians, forcibly seizing a common girl? I don't need to tell you what a grave crime that is. You know, don't you?" Chrysanthemum Douluo sneered.

"Chrysanthemum Elder! Could you perhaps pretend you didn't see this?" The moment Salas heard him, he immediately tried to bribe Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"Salas! Since I'm here, who do you think might be outside? Think carefully about what you're going to say next." Chrysanthemum Douluo cut off Salas's next words.

"Your Majesty the Pope! It's over." Salas's expression changed drastically.

"Hurry up and get dressed, then get out here!" Seeing Salas still dawdling, Chrysanthemum Douluo barked at once.

"Yes, yes!" Salas hastily straightened himself up and ran out of the side room.

Only then did Chrysanthemum Douluo step forward and look at the girl. She was about fourteen. Her clothes had been torn to shreds, exposing large patches of skin, her long black hair was disheveled, and her face was streaked with tears.

"Take this. Put it on first!" Chrysanthemum Douluo took a piece of clothing out of his Soul Tool. Strangely enough, it leaned toward women's clothing.

The girl timidly reached out and accepted the clothing Chrysanthemum Douluo handed her.

Seeing that the girl had taken the clothes, Chrysanthemum Douluo then walked out of the side room and into the main hall. By now, Salas was already kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy.

"Salas! You have truly disappointed me. I entrusted such an important Saint Hall to you and gave you this heavy responsibility. You could be a little overbearing toward the nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire, but I never told you to do something like this. Bullying a common girl will never be tolerated."

"Yue Guan, send Salas to Slaughter City overnight. Whether he lives or dies will depend on his own fortune. Send a letter back to Spirit City and have Platinum Bishop Skoda take over Heaven Dou Saint Hall overnight."

Bibi Dong coldly announced Salas's fate. Bibi Dong knew very well, so after taking the position of pope, the first creed she added was precisely this rule against forcibly seizing common women.

High Priest Qian Daoliu understood perfectly back then, so he did not stop her. Besides, there was no need to stop a rule like that.

"Your Majesty the Pope, spare my life! Please give me one more chance. This subordinate was wrong." Salas hurriedly begged for mercy. Salas's cries alarmed the Vice Bishops and soldier commanders from the various departments who assisted him.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Pope! Long live Your Majesty the Pope." The others were all terrified and hastily paid their respects.

"Mm! Have you forgotten the Holy Son?" Chrysanthemum Douluo reminded them.

"Greetings, Holy Son! Forgive us, Holy Son. We had only heard your name and had never seen you in person. We have slighted the Holy Son." The others hurriedly spoke to Duanyu Fan beside Bibi Dong.

"Your funding will be canceled for half a year. As for the rest of you, I will not pursue your responsibility for now. I will send a new Platinum Bishop here and have him investigate your backgrounds." Bibi Dong gave her orders with majesty. Since she had not personally witnessed the others' evil deeds, Bibi Dong planned to leave the rest for someone else to handle.

"Yes, yes! Your Majesty the Pope, this subordinate will obey your arrangements." The others hurriedly nodded. Everyone could still accept this punishment.

"Yue Guan, set out immediately and send him to Slaughter City. Go and return quickly," Bibi Dong continued ordering.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope." Chrysanthemum Douluo cupped his fists and saluted.

"Your Majesty the Pope, spare me this once!" Salas cried out again.

With a thud, Chrysanthemum Douluo knocked Salas unconscious from behind.

"Annoying."

After Chrysanthemum Douluo said that, he carried Salas and quickly left Spirit Hall Temple.

"You few, send the girl inside back home. Remember to apologize and compensate her," Bibi Dong ordered lightly.

"Yes, yes. Your Majesty the Pope, we understand."

"Teacher! Let me do it. Those men look a little rough. I'm afraid they'll scare her again."

"All right! Go in and invite the girl out."

"Mm."

After Duanyu Fan said that, he went into the side room and saw the girl. She had already put on the clothes Chrysanthemum Douluo had handed her, and she was rather pretty.

"Big sister, I'm sorry. We frightened you. I am Spirit Hall's Holy Son. You won't see Bishop Salas again in the future, so don't worry. I'll have someone send you home." Duanyu Fan revealed an easygoing smile.

"Holy Son? Thank you! Thank you." The girl hurriedly thanked him.

"Big sister, there shouldn't be any problem, right? It's getting late. I'll have someone send you back." Duanyu Fan smiled gently.

"All right! Thank you, Holy Son." The girl was still somewhat shaken.

Afterward, the girl followed Duanyu Fan into the main hall.

"You few, make sure you personally send her home. And apologize and compensate her," Duanyu Fan directly instructed them.

"Yes, Holy Son."

Duanyu Fan and Bibi Dong watched them leave. Only the two of them remained in the main hall.

"First Soul Skill, Prayer Healing." Seeing that Bibi Dong's negative emotions still had not calmed down, Duanyu Fan immediately gave her a Purification.

"Xiao Fan, you've seen something shameful. I didn't expect we would see something like this," Bibi Dong said slowly after calming down.

Most importantly, it had nearly made Bibi Dong recall a trace of memory.

"Teacher, it's nothing. Spirit Hall's organization stretches across the entire continent. It's inevitable there will be a few rotten apples spoiling the barrel," Duanyu Fan replied softly.

"Mm. Once we return this time, I'll immediately issue measures and replace everyone who ought to be replaced. Some people may have held their positions for too long and forgotten what they truly are." Bibi Dong made her plans.

"Right, Xiao Fan, for my second God's Trial, I may inevitably need your help. Every day, I'll need the Purification effect of your First Soul Skill to clear away the excess negative Rakshasa evil thoughts," Bibi Dong suddenly brought up her God's Trial.

"Teacher, that's nothing. I'd be more than happy to. Besides, I don't quite understand the contents of my second God's Trial. The Kindness God King told me to purify the Carrier of Evil Thoughts, with a time limit of ten years." Duanyu Fan immediately realized that this Carrier of Evil Thoughts might be his teacher, Bibi Dong.

"Xiao Fan, could the Carrier of Evil Thoughts the Kindness God King mentioned be me? My second trial also has a ten-year time limit." Bibi Dong asked him.

"Teacher! It's possible." Duanyu Fan somewhat agreed with Bibi Dong's guess as well.

The two were silent for several minutes. In the end, it was still Bibi Dong who broke the situation.

"All right! We've been traveling all day. Go rest. Don't worry, Teacher will help you keep an eye out for who this Carrier of Evil Thoughts is," Bibi Dong said softly.

Duanyu Fan asked where the Guest Room was, then returned to his room to rest first.

"Sigh! I can't ask the Kindness God King. Having to guess is so uncomfortable. But it really might be Teacher. The Kindness God King shouldn't have arranged a God's Trial like this for no reason."

"Forget it. Sleep." Duanyu Fan turned over and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

The next morning, Duanyu Fan got up and arrived at the main hall. Chrysanthemum Douluo had already returned. There was also a man who looked to be in his fifties, along with the others he had seen last night.

This was Platinum Bishop Skoda, an eighty-fifth-ranked Soul Douluo. He wore the same style of clothing as Salas.

"Holy Son!" Seeing Duanyu Fan come out, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Platinum Bishop Skoda greeted him.

"Morning, everyone," Duanyu Fan also replied.

"All right! Heaven Dou Saint Hall is now in your hands, Bishop Skoda. I hope you won't follow in Salas's footsteps. Do not do anything that smears Spirit Hall's name. Keep close watch over the actions of those under the Saint Hall," Bibi Dong immediately instructed Platinum Bishop Skoda.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope! This subordinate will do his utmost. As for Spirit Hall's creed, I will absolutely not allow our own people to break it." Platinum Bishop Skoda immediately gave his assurance.

"Good! We still have matters to attend to, so we're leaving!" After Bibi Dong finished speaking, she brought Duanyu Fan and left the main hall.

The three of them rushed toward Sunset Forest.
