Yu Xiaogang pointed at Big White Pig and Schnauzer and let out a hysterical shout. "Ah... it was them, these two beasts."
Qian Daoliu frowned and glared at him. The Spirit Power Pressure of a Peerless Douluo descended upon Yu Xiaogang, a level 29 Soul Grandmaster, instantly pressing his entire body flat against the ground and cutting off his voice.
"Qian Daoliu, don't go too far!"
Bibi Dong's eyes blazed as she stared fiercely at Qian Daoliu. She could treat Yu Xiaogang however she wanted, but she would never allow anyone else to hurt him.
"Hmph, Bibi Dong, recognize your own status. If you can't, I don't mind stripping you of your position as Pope."
Qian Xunjie had only recently died, and Bibi Dong had yet to secure her position as Pope. Removing her really was just a matter of a word from Qian Daoliu.
Xiao Chenlong rolled his eyes and grumbled inwardly.
All talk and no action. If Qian Daoliu had ever actually done something, Spirit Hall wouldn't have ended up like that in the Original Plot.
"Old Six, Old Seven, send him back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Tell Yu Yuanzhen that if I see his son in Spirit City again, this old man will personally go have a word with him..."
Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo entered and prepared to drag Yu Xiaogang away like a dead dog.
Everyone had assumed that the matter would end there, but Bibi Dong suddenly moved. Her target was not Yu Xiaogang, but Xiao Chenlong.
Xiao Chenlong himself did not react in time, but Big White Pig did.
In an instant, Electric Eye activated and blasted toward Bibi Dong.
"Fourth Spirit Skill, Thorn Spider Armor!"
"Third Spirit Ability, Death Spider Web Bind!"
Bibi Dong instantly unleashed two spirit skills. Thorn Spider Armor blocked Electric Eye, while Death Spider Web Bind flew toward Xiao Chenlong and captured him.
"Bibi Dong, how dare you..."
"Qian Daoliu, you forced my hand. Hand Xiaogang over to me, and I'll let him go. Otherwise, this brat may not be able to withstand the poison of the Death Spider Web."
Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo both summoned their Martial Souls, Coiled Dragon Staffs. Two yellow, two purple, and five black—nine spirit rings hovered beneath their feet as they watched Bibi Dong, ready to strike at any moment.
Qian Daoliu did not want to gamble with Xiao Chenlong's life. Just as he was preparing to compromise with Bibi Dong, an abrupt change occurred.
The Death Spider Web trapping Xiao Chenlong exploded into pieces, and the Holy Lord's phantom appeared once more.
His crimson eyes swept across the entire Pope's Palace. Qianjun Douluo, Jiangmo Douluo, Qian Daoliu, and Bibi Dong all felt a chill run down their spines.
"Not good!"
The moment Qian Daoliu spoke, the Holy Lord let out a long howl. The sound waves alone shook the Pope's Palace violently.
Then the Holy Lord moved, smashing a massive hole through the ceiling of the Pope's Palace and charging outside.
The Holy Lord stood atop the Pope's Palace, looking down over all of Spirit City.
"Why are there so many weak little insects here? They're such an eyesore. They all need to be cleared away."
Just as the Holy Lord was about to use high-powered magic, Qian Daoliu flew out on three pairs of wings.
"Annoying light aura, get lost."
The Holy Lord spat out a stream of flame, and Qian Daoliu gripped the Holy Sword and cleaved it apart.
The split flames were then blocked by Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo.
"This body is too weak. It can't bring out my true strength at all. Hmph, and you still dare resist? A mere human soul dares challenge a Demon Sorcerer?"
The Holy Lord suppressed Xiao Chenlong's consciousness, temporarily gaining freedom of movement. However, he could not suppress it for long, since Xiao Chenlong was the true owner of the body.
"Seventh Spirit Skill, Angel True Body. Angel Domain, activate."
"Get lost!"
Disgusted by the approaching light aura, the Holy Lord glared, activating Electric Eye.
The Electric Eye unleashed by the Holy Lord was far more powerful than Big White Pig's.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Breath of the Angel!"
A massive phantom of the Angel God was summoned by Qian Daoliu, and its holy aura pressed down upon the Holy Lord from all directions.
As a Hell Demon, the Holy Lord found this kind of light aura utterly repulsive.
Originally, he should have been forced back by this Breath of the Angel and returned to dormancy within Xiao Chenlong.
But Bibi Dong arrived at that moment, and she had summoned her Martial Soul Avatar.
Though she hated the ugly appearance of her Martial Soul Avatar, she had no choice at this moment.
Naturally, she was not there to help Qian Daoliu. She wanted to find another opportunity to capture Xiao Chenlong and use him as leverage again.
But Bibi Dong did not know that she had already become the Holy Lord's target.
The Holy Lord charged at Bibi Dong. Before she could react, he grabbed her and bit down.
Bibi Dong's spider-like body was bitten apart by the Holy Lord. The Evil energy belonging to Bibi Dong—or rather, to the Rakshasa God—became nourishment for him, making the Holy Lord's phantom even more solid.
"Hahahaha, Evil energy of this quality is quite good."
The Holy Lord's greedy gaze fell upon Bibi Dong once more, wanting to devour her completely.
"Evil Spirit, where do you think you're going!"
Qian Daoliu caught up, and Breath of the Angel enveloped the Holy Lord once more.
The Holy Lord spat flames to contend with Qian Daoliu. As the Fire Demon, fire was his innate ability, and naturally immensely powerful.
"Eighth Spirit Skill, Thousand Jun Throw!"
"Eighth spirit skill, Falling Devil Coiled Dragon Ring!"
Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo also attacked from the left and right, suppressing the Holy Lord.
"Mere ants..."
"Get back in there!"
Before the Holy Lord could finish, Xiao Chenlong's voice drowned him out.
His consciousness suppressed the Holy Lord in turn, finally forcing the Holy Lord back into dormancy.
The Holy Lord's phantom vanished. Xiao Chenlong landed steadily, but collapsed unconscious again the next second. Qian Daoliu hurriedly caught him.
As for Bibi Dong, who had been bitten by the Holy Lord, she activated her Ninth Spirit Skill, Undying Body, and recovered.
Qian Daoliu glared at Bibi Dong. Without another word, he carried Xiao Chenlong back to Worship Hall.
When Xiao Chenlong opened his eyes again, he found himself inside a luxurious carriage.
Jiangmo Douluo was actually driving it, and he had noticed that Xiao Chenlong was awake.
"Kid, you're awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"No. Where are we going now? Is Spirit Hall planning to get rid of me, this bringer of disaster?"
"What are you thinking? This has nothing to do with you. It's all because of that woman Bibi Dong. I don't know why Elder Brother refuses to kill her.
I'm taking you to Heaven Dou City now. Big brother asked me to tell you to cultivate properly. He'll help you find a solution for that Martial Soul of yours."
"I understand. Thank you, Your Excellency Jiangmo."
"No need to be so formal. If you don't mind, you can call me Seventh Grandfather."
"Seventh Grandfather!"
Jiangmo Douluo was at least over a hundred years old. Calling him Seventh Grandfather was no loss.
"Good, hahaha!"
Meanwhile, at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Qianjun Douluo appeared directly while carrying Yu Xiaogang.
"Yu Yuanzhen, get out here."
The members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan glared angrily at the sight, yet none of them dared make even the slightest move.
Qianjun Douluo's Spirit Power Pressure was right there. These minor lackeys were in no position to challenge him.
