They were the Spirit Hall Elders led by Golden Crocodile Douluo.
Just then, golden light blazed from the Heavenly Screen outside the hall, drawing everyone's attention.
When she saw the contents of the ranking, Bibi Dong, who had been lounging lazily against her throne, abruptly sat up straight. She then rose directly from her seat, her face filled with astonishment.
"What? Qian Renxue's Six-winged Angel martial soul is only ranked fifteenth?"
Her voice was full of disbelief.
Bibi Dong had always believed that the quality of her Twin Martial Souls was absolutely above Qian Renxue's Six-winged Angel.
But she had never expected that her extraordinarily gifted daughter, the daughter she took such pride in—
Her inherited God-level Spirit would rank so low!
Fifteenth place!
It was simply a joke!
Golden Crocodile Douluo, seated below, along with Mighty Lion Douluo, Light Feather Douluo, and the others behind him, exchanged glances. The shock on their faces was no less than Bibi Dong's.
"The Six-winged Angel martial soul... is only ranked fifteenth?"
Mighty Lion Douluo, the most hot-tempered among them, could not help speaking, his voice booming like a great bell.
"That's impossible! Young Master Xue'er is an unparalleled genius, one not seen in ten thousand years, not only in Spirit Hall but across the entire continent!"
Spirit Kite Douluo, another female Elder, chimed in as well.
"That's right. Young Master Xue'er is only sixteen, yet her Soul Power has already reached Level 98. She was born with Innate Level 20 full Soul Power and has flawless compatibility with the Six-winged Angel martial soul. How could someone like her only rank fifteenth?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo's brows furrowed tightly on his aged face.
"Then what kind of martial souls occupy the top fourteen places on that Heavenly Screen ranking?"
The atmosphere in the hall grew even heavier because of the ranking.
Bibi Dong slowly sat back down on her throne, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in her heart as her gaze returned to Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others.
She had not come here today to discuss the ranking with these old men.
"Golden Crocodile Douluo."
Bibi Dong's voice regained its calm, yet it carried an authority that could not be defied.
"I came here today for only one matter."
"Submit to me, or die."
Her words were concise and direct, saturated with bloodlust.
Golden Crocodile Douluo raised his head, his clouded eyes looking toward Bibi Dong on the throne as he slowly spoke.
"Your Majesty the Pope, we are all members of Spirit Hall, and you are also part of the Qian Family. Whatever it is, simply give the order, and we shall obey."
His tone remained fairly respectful.
After all, before Great Enshriner Qian Daoliu entered seclusion, he had clearly ordered that all actions of the Worship Hall were to follow Qian Yu's arrangements.
And Bibi Dong before them was Qian Yu's wife.
Listening to her was more or less equivalent to listening to Qian Yu.
However, upon hearing the words "part of the Qian Family," a deep sneer and contempt appeared on Bibi Dong's face.
"Heh."
She gave a soft laugh.
"From today onward, I have no relationship whatsoever with the Qian Family."
"I've already divorced that Wasted husband of mine who only knows how to indulge in romance."
What?!
Her words struck the entire hall like a bolt from the blue!
Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others were all stunned. Their eyes widened as they wondered whether they had heard wrong.
Spirit Kite Douluo blurted out.
"What? Your Majesty the Pope, you and Lord Qian Yu... divorced?"
Bibi Dong admired the shock on their faces, the smile at her lips deepening.
"That's right."
She rose to her feet and descended the steps one by one. The sound of her high heels striking the floor was like the beat of death's drums, pounding against everyone's heart.
"So, I'll ask you one last time."
Her voice turned chilling.
"Submit to me, the Pope!"
"Or die!"
The air in the hall instantly dropped to freezing point.
Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others finally recovered from their shock, and their expressions darkened.
Light Feather Douluo, who had always had a fiery temper, was the first to step forward. Soul Power surged around him as he shouted sharply.
"Dream on!"
"Bibi Dong, don't forget how you obtained the position of Pope! The Worship Hall has always followed the Qian Family of the Angel Clan! Not a traitor like you!"
"That's right!"
Mighty Lion Douluo also stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Light Feather Douluo. "We will never submit to you!"
Although Golden Crocodile Douluo said nothing, the steadily rising Momentum around him had already made his stance clear.
"Good, very good!"
Bibi Dong laughed in extreme anger.
"I am the Pope of Spirit Hall! I am the master of the Spirit Hall Empire! You old fossils dare defy my orders!"
Her beautiful face was covered in frost.
"Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish!"
"I'll kill every last one of you!"
The instant her words fell, a terrifyingly immense Soul Power pressure erupted from her delicate body!
Level 99!
The terrifying aura of a Limit Douluo swept through the entire hall like a tsunami!
Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others' expressions changed drastically, yet they showed no fear whatsoever.
Martial Soul Possession!
Golden Crocodile Douluo roared. A massive phantom of the Golden Crocodile King martial soul emerged behind him, nine Spirit Rings shining as equally formidable Level 98 Soul Power surged into the sky!
Roar!
Mighty Lion Douluo, Light Feather Douluo, and the other six Douluos simultaneously released their martial souls and Soul Power.
Six Super Douluos above Level 96, along with a Level 98 Second Worship!
The auras of the seven great powerhouses gathered together, forming a force capable of shaking heaven and earth.
They forcibly withstood Bibi Dong's Level 99 Limit pressure.
"Bibi Dong! Even if you are a Limit Douluo, even if you are the heir of the Rakshasa God, it is nothing but wishful thinking if you want to keep all seven of us here by yourself!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo shouted in a deep voice.
Bibi Dong looked at the seven stubborn figures before her and felt the powerful combined aura surrounding them. Her expression grew even uglier.
She knew Golden Crocodile Douluo was telling the truth.
Even though she was already Level 99, taking down seven top-tier Douluos who coordinated so well in a short time would be no easy task.
That left her incomparably furious and stifled.
Just then, a set of footsteps sounded from the entrance of the hall.
Hu Liena hurried in, leading someone with her.
"Teacher!"
The moment Bibi Dong saw the newcomer, the anger on her face instantly vanished, replaced by wild joy.
"Sister Jing, you came at just the right time!"
She looked at the woman beside Hu Liena, dressed in fitted blue clothes, with delicate features but no expression at all, as though she had seen her savior.
"Help me take down these stubborn old men!"
Bibi Dong's voice was full of confidence.
Jing's strength was unfathomable. She was one of Bibi Dong's strongest trump cards.
With Jing's help, let alone seven Elders—even if another seven came, none of them would leave this hall alive today!
