Bibi Dong Steps Down, Qian Daoliu Emerges from Seclusion

In the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong sat on the Pope's golden throne, flanked by Chrysanthemum Douluo.

A golden light streaked across the sky and arrived in the Pope's Palace. Upon seeing who it was, Chrysanthemum Douluo respectfully bowed and said, "Greetings, Great Enshrined."

Bibi Dong held the Brilliant Gold Scepter, slowly rose and looked at Qian Daoliu. This old man hadn't left the Worship Hall for decades. Even after his son died, he only took back the two pieces of Angel God Armor.

Bibi Dong's eyes sharpened. "The Great Enshrined has arrived; what are your instructions?"

Qian Daoliu glanced at Bibi Dong and sighed, "Dong'er, I've seen everything you've done over the years. Do you think what you've done is right?"

Bibi Dong sneered, "Whether it's right or wrong is for others to judge. Is this the question the Great Enshrined came to ask?"

Qian Daoliu shook his head. "I have decided to come out of seclusion and take over the Spirit Hall again to make up for the mistakes you have made over the years. You... go to the Worship Hall and reflect on your mistakes in seclusion."

As soon as Qian Daoliu finished speaking, Chrysanthemum Douluo raised his head in disbelief.

Bibi Dong's eyes instantly turned cold. She knew that Qian Daoliu's personal visit would surely lead to some action, but she did not expect him to be so direct.

Bibi Dong snorted coldly, "Is the Great Enshrined planning to make me abdicate?"

Qian Daoliu didn't waste any words. "Back then, Xunji was indeed at fault, so I felt guilty towards you and handed over the Spirit Hall to you to make amends. But what you've done over the years has gone too far. The Spirit Hall's reputation has plummeted to rock bottom in just over a decade. If this continues, the divine power of the angels will be completely exhausted by you."

"Past events are like the wind. Now I have decided to leave the mountain. Going to the Worship Hall is your best choice. As for what you do, I will not interfere. But if it is detrimental to the Spirit Hall, don't blame me for not showing any mercy."

Qian Daoliu's tone was very calm, but his body was radiant with golden light, like a brilliant sun, making Bibi Dong almost afraid to look directly at him.

As the oppressive aura of Level 99 Peerless Douluo descended, Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but feel an urge to worship.

Bibi Dong possesses the two dark Martial Soul, Soul Devouring Spider Emperor and Death Spider Emperor, was the first to bear the brunt. The suppression of her by the Six-winged Angel was almost too much for her to resist.

Even though Bibi Dong has now reached the super cultivation level of level 97, she still cannot directly face Qian Daoliu's Angel God.

After a long silence, Bibi Dong slowly stood up, her expression revealing neither joy nor sorrow. "I will obey the Great Enshrined's decree, but let's skip the Worship Hall. I'm tired of these years and want to go out for a walk."

Qian Daoliu pondered for a long time, "Once you leave the Spirit Hall, your actions will be your own decision and have nothing to do with the Spirit Hall."

Bibi Dong removed her golden crown. "I understand."

Bibi Dong glanced at Chrysanthemum Douluo and was about to say something when Qian Daoliu spoke up directly, "Let's go for a walk and capture the rebellious Ghost Douluo. Elder Chrysanthemum will accompany you."

Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes flickered slightly. "Thank you, Great Enshrined."

While the two powerful figures were talking, Chrysanthemum Douluo dared not utter a word. After receiving permission from the Great Enshrined, he followed Bibi Dong and left the Pope's Palace.

Qian Daoliu watched Bibi Dong's departing figure and couldn't help but sigh, "It was originally a fortunate family with Dual Godhood, but alas... what a pity..."

As the Great Enshrined of the Angel God's lineage, how could Qian Daoliu not have noticed Bibi Dong's unusual behavior? He knew his own fate at the time, and since he did owe Bibi Dong something, he had always turned a blind eye.

Things are different now. He is "free," and his once dormant heart has been rekindled.

Not just himself, he also had Xue'er.

In this great struggle, he will do everything in his power to fight for Xue'er's life.

As long as Bibi Dong doesn't do anything foolish in the future, Qian Daoliu will be as lenient with her as possible. After all, no matter what, she is Xue'er's mother...

Qian Daoliu slowly walked up to the golden throne and sat down, caressing the Pope throne he had not seen for a long time, and flicked a golden light with his finger.

The next moment, six beams of light landed in the Pope's Palace.

These are six weathered old men, but because of their profound cultivation, they all look only in their thirties or forties.

But the hardships they endured revealed the depth of their experiences.

All six were dressed in wide, imposing red robes, adorned with ferocious beasts in gold and silver embroidery, which were awe-inspiring.

Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan Divine Bird, Blazing Lion, Light Feather Divine Bow, Coiled Dragon Great Club ...

These six people are the Great Enshrined of the Worship Hall. They are at least over ninety years old, and their Soul Power Level has reached at least level ninety-six. They are the top beings on the continent.

"Big brother."

The six bowed respectfully, their eyes fixed intently on Qian Daoliu.

Some of them had been living in seclusion for at least thirty years. Now that Qian Daoliu had taken back control of the Spirit Hall, these old brothers naturally had to serve their elder brother faithfully.

They had no ambitions before, but things are different now. With the great struggle for power and the turmoil on the continent, they might be able to get a share of the spoils.

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly and looked at the first person on the left, a middle-aged man with a golden crocodile pattern on his red Golden Crocodile: "Second Brother, give the order that Pope Bibi Dong has abdicated the Pope for some reason, and I will resume my position as head of the Pope's Palace. A grand ceremony will be held one month later, and all branch halls of the Spirit Hall at the main city level and above will return to Spirit City."

"During this period, you will personally lead the establishment of a disciplinary team. Anyone who violates the law should correct their mistakes, and those who have not should be encouraged to do so. Those who repeatedly fail to correct their mistakes will be severely punished."

Golden Crocodile Douluo bowed and replied, "Golden Crocodile obeys."

Qian Daoliu then looked at the third and fourth elders. "Third Brother, fourth brother, you two will take over the garrison of Spirit City and quell the rebels."

Azure Luan Douluo and Mighty Lion Douluo bowed and said, "We respectfully obey the Pope Token."

Qian Daoliu then looked at the Fifth Elder: "Guang Ling, apart from Elder Chrysanthemum Bibi Dong and Ghost Douluo escaped, the rest of the Spirit Hall elders will be under your command. I don't want any mishaps to occur."

Light Feather Douluo was also on high alert. After his leader gave the order, he bowed and said, "Guang Ling understands."

Then Qian Daoliu looked at the Sixth and Seventh Elders: "Sixth Elder, Seventh Elder, you need to learn more about the situation on the mainland during this time. Go with Xue'er then. I will feel at ease with you two around."

"Qian Jun, the Jiang Mo is granted."

Qian Daoliu waved his hand. "Go and prepare. It's time for the Spirit Hall to show its angelic glory."

A day later, Bibi Dong left the Spirit Hall with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Dragon Tamer Master, as if yesterday's glory was already in the past. Looking at the bustling Spirit City, Bibi Dong seemed to have no regrets at all.

Yu Long stood guard beside Bibi Dong, feeling a pang of heartache. "Are we really going to leave like this?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but want to say something, but reason told him that the best thing to do now was to shut up.

Bibi Dong sighed, "He has come out of seclusion, so naturally I must step down. Since he doesn't hold a grudge about what has happened over the years, it's already fortunate. There's no point in him staying any longer."

"What can I do if I'm not willing? In the face of absolute strength, everything else is insignificant. It's just a pity... I was only one step away from him. Now it seems that I've only made things easier for him."

Yu Long sneered, "Why did you have to come out at this time of year? I never expected that the dignified Angel Douluo would be such a cunning and treacherous villain!"

Upon hearing Yu Long's words, Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but remind him, "Yu Long, be careful what you say! The Pope's authority is inviolable, not to mention there are still those old guys in the Worship Hall!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Long Bibi Dong looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo, "Elder Chrysanthemum, I'm sorry to have wronged you."

Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly replied, "Your Majesty is too kind. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. Since the Great Enshrined... the Pope has ambitions, there will surely be a time when he needs us. We just need to wait for the right opportunity..."

Bibi Dong smiled slightly upon hearing this, her meaning clear without words.

She was indeed obsessed with power, but she didn't become Pope just for power; otherwise, she would have done ten times better than Qian Xunji.

She wants to destroy the Spirit Hall and wipe out everyone who has hurt her and Yu Long!

It's a pity... just when things were about to succeed, that old bastard Qian Daoliu jumped out.

She was resentful but had nowhere to vent her anger. Facing Qian Daoliu, who was at level ninety-nine, and the old fogies in the Worship Hall, her resistance would only provoke Qian Daoliu's cold-blooded suppression.

Since that's the case, we might as well take this opportunity to get away.

She was right about one thing: strength is everything. As long as you possess absolute strength, everything you lose today will surely be reclaimed twofold in the future.

Bibi Dong turned to look at the magnificent Angel God Statue: "Angel... one day Rakshasa will descend..."

As the three figures slowly disappeared Spirit City, their whereabouts unknown, Qian Renxue slowly emerged from the shadows, indifferently watching their departing backs.

Qian Daoliu appeared beside Qian Renxue at some point. "Although gods are neither good nor evil, Bibi Dong has already fallen into demonic possession. In the future, she may be your greatest inner demon, so I let her go."

Qian Renxue couldn't help but clench her fists. "If she really doesn't know what's going on, I will defeat her myself and use the radiance of an angel to influence her."

Looking at the confident Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu's lips curled up slightly. "Xue'er, I'm sorry to have wronged you."

Qian Renxue hugged her grandfather's arm. "I'm not wronged. Grandpa has done so much for me, Xue'er will definitely not let Grandpa down."

Qian Daoliu gently stroked his granddaughter's hair. "Good... good..."

Qian Daoliu truly deserves to be one of the three great masters of the continent. Now that he has decided to come out of seclusion, he will surely end Bibi Dong's years of inaction with swift and decisive measures.

In just one month, countless people from the Spirit Hall Branch in the main cities of the Douluo Continent were imprisoned, while countless others redeemed themselves through meritorious service. The Spirit Hall, which had been corrupt and decadent in the past, suddenly became vibrant again.

The news of Qian Daoliu's return to the martial arts world shocked the continent. This Peerless Douluo, who had been in seclusion for decades and had been almost forgotten by many, now took the reins of the Spirit Hall, bringing pressure to many people.

This also foreshadows a major move by the Spirit Hall, otherwise why would Qian Daoliu, who has been in seclusion for many years, reappear in the martial world?

Furthermore, with so many Hermit Sect emerging from seclusion on the continent, and even the discovery of ancient ruins, all these signs indicate the turbulent changes taking place on the Douluo Continent.

When Qian Daoliu resumed his leadership of the Spirit Hall, countless Soul Master responded to Angel Douluo. Even though Qian Daoliu had not appeared for decades, he still managed to command a huge following.

Many upright Soul Master who were once ambivalent towards the Spirit Hall are now responding with fervent enthusiasm.

Under Qian Daoliu's leadership, the entire Spirit Hall seems to be regaining its vitality.

However, Bibi Dong's reign destroyed a great deal of things, and it will take some time to rebuild.

Oscar immediately became alert upon learning this news.

Given Oscar's current strength, there are not many people on the mainland who can pose a threat to Oscar, but Angel Douluo, one of the Three Greats, is definitely one of them.

Now that Qian Daoliu the mountains, Oscar's original plans have had to be adjusted.

Although it is unknown why Qian Daoliu would emerge from seclusion at this time, judging from his reforms of the Spirit Hall, it is clear that his emergence this time could not be solely for the purpose of protecting the Spirit Hall's foundation.

Facing such an unparalleled expert, Oscar is truly not confident.

It's just unknown whether the other party will sacrifice themselves to enable Qian Renxue to undergo the final angel test, just like in the original story.

However, judging from the current developments, no matter where Qian Daoliu in the end, he is currently the strongest obstacle that Oscar needs to face.

Fortunately, Oscar doesn't plan to show himself right now. Once he has consolidated his strength and equipped his three martial souls with full spirit rings, perhaps he can finally face off against the peerless Douluo Oscar.

This process won't take too long, at most two or three years.

Even if Qian Daoliu were to lead the Spirit Hall, and it were to develop for another two or three years, as long as Oscar could possess the strength to rival Level 99 Peerless Douluo, nothing else would matter.

Moreover, even if things go wrong, Oscar still has Di Tian as a trump card. As the third leader of the Star Dou Alliance, and now that Gu Yue has taken human form, Di Tian cannot stand by and watch his investor suffer an accident.

Otherwise, all our efforts would be in vain.

Qian Daoliu upright in the Pope's Palace, meticulously reviewing each letter and memorial that was presented to him.

Although he had not been involved in politics for many years, these things were simply a piece of cake for him.

Upon seeing the engagement between Hu Liena, the Spirit Hall Saintess, and Ao Yue of the Sword Sect, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

It must be said that, compared to the various Hermit Sect that have recently emerged, the Sword Sect is undoubtedly the most troublesome one.

Based on the information available, the Sword Sect has at least five Titled Douluo, and the Sword Sect leader is more likely to have reached level 98.

Although in Qian Daoliu's eyes, there was not much difference between level 98 and level 91; they were just slightly larger ants.

However, the overall strength of the Sword Sect is too great. Even if the original Seven Great Sects were combined, they might only be able to barely match the current Sword Sect.

Qian Renxue wants to establish Spirit Hall Empire, then the Sword Sect is naturally an obstacle she must overcome.

The marriage between Hu Liena, the Spirit Hall Saintess, and Ao Yue of the Sword Sect was only a verbal agreement between Bibi Dong and the Sword Sect, which had just been established and was ready to make its mark.

At this stage, it will be quite difficult to completely subdue them.

However, taking it on is not an easy task either.

After much deliberation, Qian Daoliu decided to personally sound out the Sword Sect's intentions.

P. S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
