Is Bibi Dong Stupid, and Are You Too?

Is Bibi Dong Stupid, and Are You Too?

Looking at the desolation below the mountain.

Su Su was basically certain.

Chen Changfeng before her could not possibly be a Soul Sage, or even a Soul Douluo.

Not even an ordinary Titled Douluo!

Though she had limited experience, she did not need to think hard to know that this man was likely even more terrifying than the descriptions of Titled Douluo, perhaps even a Peak Douluo who had reached rank ninety-five.

"What soul skill?"

Chen Changfeng calmly watched the carriage below the mountain. "Just a fairly common lightning-attribute soul skill."

"Common?!"

A storm raged in Su Su's heart.

This was called a common lightning-attribute soul skill?

Could a common lightning-attribute soul skill possess such terrifying destructive power?

Was this guy some kind of monster?!

Though shocked, Su Su did not dare ask further and could only fill in the blanks in her mind.

Boom!!!

Just then, a change finally occurred.

The Spirit Hall soul masters who had just surrounded the carriage were blasted away by an immensely powerful blue surge of Soul Power, sending dozens of them flying.

"What's going on? There's a powerful expert!"

Su Su's pupils contracted instantly as her gaze fell upon the carriage amid the ruins. Then, she frowned and glanced at Chen Changfeng.

Clearly, it was as if he had long known there was a powerful expert in the carriage.

His expression did not fluctuate in the slightest.

"A Titled Douluo."

An aged voice rang out from within the carriage. "It seems you are no ordinary bandits. Even with your faces covered, I have roughly guessed where you came from."

The next second.

A tall, lean middle-aged man had appeared beside the carriage at some unknown point, a grave expression on his face.

He had released the Soul Power shockwave just now. Eight gleaming soul rings pulsed around his body.

Behind him stood two others about the same age.

Eight soul rings gleamed around each of them as well.

The three were the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's three pillars: second clan leader Yu Luomian and the two elders.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had four powerful experts. The clan leader was Yu Xiaogang's father, Yu Yuanzhen, who was also the clan's only Titled Douluo. The remaining three elders were all Soul Douluo experts. Besides being the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's second clan leader, Yu Luomian was also one of its three elders. In terms of both strength and status, he stood above all but one within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Su Su's pupils shrank atop the mountain as she cried out in a low voice, "This is bad, sir. It seems to be Yu Luomian, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's second clan leader, along with the clan's other two elders."

"And it looks like our identities have been exposed."

"No matter who is riding in that carriage, I'm afraid we'll have to retreat in the face of this difficulty."

"It isn't difficult."

Chen Changfeng gave a cold laugh, cutting off Su Su before she could continue. Purple light flickered in his eyes. "Do you understand one principle? The stronger the protectors, the more it proves that the person inside is important. We cannot let that person go, no matter what."

"But, sir..."

Su Su trembled all over. She understood the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's strength. It was the second greatest sect in the world and possessed the strongest Beast Spirit. Soul Douluo with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit could generally battle ordinary Titled Douluo, not to mention that there were three of them now.

Even if sir was a Titled Douluo, could he really face three Soul Douluo alone?

With that in mind, Su Su reminded him quietly, "Her Holiness the Pope has ordered that we must not confront powerful enemies head-on. Especially now, when it is not yet time to tear relations apart with the Upper Three Sects. Since we already know that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is supporting the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the mission is more or less complete. We can withdraw now and report back to Her Holiness the Pope. That way..."

"That way, we will have no way of learning the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's purpose for this journey."

Chen Changfeng snorted coldly, his voice frosty. "Bibi Dong is not only stupid, but utterly useless. With Spirit Hall's current overall strength, why should we fear wolves ahead and tigers behind?"

Gasp—

When Chen Changfeng finished speaking, Su Su sucked in a sharp breath.

Stupid? Useless?

Sir was insulting Her Holiness the Pope?

Had he gone mad?!

Which Spirit Hall soul master did not know that the Pope was Spirit Hall's supreme ruler, the center of soul master authority, and Spirit Hall's most powerful soul master? Bibi Dong was the first female Pope in Spirit Hall's history, an existence revered and worshipped by countless ordinary soul masters like Su Su. To them, Bibi Dong's commands carried equally supreme authority.

Who would dare defy her?

Yet this sir before her was not only challenging the Pope's authority, but even calling Her Holiness the Pope stupid and useless?

If that was not madness, what was?

Who exactly was he?

This man's audacity was undoubtedly unmatched within Spirit Hall.

Before Su Su could react, Chen Changfeng had already leaped down the hill and walked step by step toward Yu Luomian and the other two. With every step he took, the pressure of the three men was forcibly suppressed by another degree.

Facing Chen Changfeng's steady advance, Yu Luomian was exceptionally nervous.

The Annihilation Thunder from earlier had left a psychological shadow on him even now. Its lightning power had surpassed the ultimate lightning of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The lightning controlled by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was fierce and explosive, whereas the lightning power from before, akin to a Titled Douluo's Ninth Soul Skill, had been filled with destruction and ruin.

Though both were lightning attributes, their fundamental nature was vastly different.

Suppressing the alarm in his heart.

Now that he knew Chen Changfeng's identity, Yu Luomian did not hesitate at all. Full of confidence, he said bluntly, "Stop right there, sir. Imperial authority cannot be offended. No matter how powerful a faction may be, it is still only a faction, never an empire! If you take another step forward, I fear you will regret it!"

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is joining the imperial authority?"

Chen Changfeng snorted and pointed at the carriage behind Yu Luomian. "Have the person inside come down and speak with me."

The moment those words fell.

Everyone was shocked, not just Yu Luomian and the other two.

Even the Spirit Hall soul masters around them felt their scalps tighten.

Yu Luomian had been right about one thing. No matter how powerful Spirit Hall was, it was merely an organization and could not compare to the foundations of an empire.

Chen Changfeng's demand that the person above come down and speak to him was a direct contempt for imperial authority.

Even Her Holiness the Pope would likely not dare adopt such an attitude. And even if she did, she would at least weigh the pros, cons, and consequences first, would she not?

"Hmph! Arrogant!"

Yu Luomian's expression changed, and he no longer remained polite.

He reached into his robes and took out the Pope's Edict representing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, declaring domineeringly, "This is Spirit Hall's Pope's Edict. To see the Pope's Edict is as if the Pope herself has arrived. Why have you not withdrawn at once?!"

The instant the token appeared.

Sure enough.

Rustle, rustle!

All the Spirit Hall soul masters instinctively dropped to their knees, including Su Su, who had just arrived.

Chen Changfeng frowned.

These people really were hopeless. Did they leave home without their brains?

Now it's all over.

Their identities could not have been exposed any more thoroughly. This really was a trap set by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

Still, it was not their fault. Even Salas, Spirit Hall's Platinum Bishop, did not dare utter a word when he saw the Pope's Edict before Grandmaster. Other than the Worship Hall, Elder Hall, and the Pope herself, anyone holding the Pope's Edict could swagger about with impunity.

Unfortunately, it was useless against Chen Changfeng.

Since they had been exposed, there was no need to hide anything further. He casually removed his black veil.

Chen Changfeng's next words shocked everyone again.

A sharp purple glint flashed through his eyes as he spoke icily. "The Pope's Edict came from Spirit Hall, so whether it has any use is naturally for Spirit Hall to decide. If Spirit Hall makes it seem lofty and grand, then it is a sacred relic. If Spirit Hall turns it into trash, then it is garbage!"
