Chen Xing's Allegiance

Whether it was her tone or her expression, Chen Xing felt that this was a blatant threat.

Even in front of Qian Daoliu, this woman made no effort to conceal her killing intent.

He thought that if he refused Bibi Dong now, she might very well kill him on the spot.

And judging by how Qian Daoliu had indulged Bibi Dong's actions over the years...

There was a high chance that even if he did not die today, she would keep him in her sights forever.

After all, if he joined the Worship Hall, he would become Bibi Dong's enemy.

The best way to deal with a future powerhouse was to strangle them before they could grow!

In summary:

If he did not choose Bibi Dong, he might die right now...

If he chose Bibi Dong, he could at least live a little longer.

At that thought, Chen Xing's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed unconsciously.

His little face was full of panic, his gaze constantly shifting between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.

"Little one, your eyes are purple too!"

"We're quite fated. How about becoming my personal disciple?"

Bibi Dong was very satisfied with Chen Xing's reaction. Clearly, he had already been frightened by her imposing presence.

Children really were timid. She had merely revealed a trace of killing intent, and he had been scared stiff.

Seeing that he could not say anything for a long time, Bibi Dong directly grabbed his little hand and pulled him over to her side, ignoring the looks of everyone present.

Yet Qian Renxue on the other side was equally unwilling to yield. She grabbed Chen Xing's other hand, her expression resolute.

"Come with me! That woman will only harm you."

"Don't worry. As long as you join the Worship Hall, I'll send people to protect you around the clock."

Hearing Qian Renxue's naive idea, Bibi Dong could not help but sneer.

"Hehe~"

"Send people to protect him? Who would you send?"

As she spoke, she provocatively looked toward the elders of the Worship Hall.

Qian Renxue also turned her gaze toward Qian Daoliu and the others behind her.

Who could they send?

She Long and Chi Xue could not even defeat Gui Mei and Yue Guan. The Worship Hall had no other powerhouses to spare. Could they possibly have these pontiffs protect Chen Xing?

Faced with their gazes, Qian Daoliu avoided eye contact.

As the Grand Pontiff of Spirit Hall, he was a symbolic figure in the eyes of the world.

The wrongdoing Qian Xunji had committed years ago left him unable to face Bibi Dong. Even though he knew she had killed his son, he had chosen to let the matter rest, let alone over a boy he had never met before.

If Bibi Dong truly killed Chen Xing because he had joined the Worship Hall, he probably would not be able to say anything.

In truth, as early as the previous day, when he learned that Gui Mei had abducted Chen Xing, he had already silently given up on this contest.

It was just that Qian Renxue...

She was the granddaughter he had doted on since childhood, yet this time he could not give her enough support.

"Grandpa..."

"Is it really impossible?"

Qian Renxue had already gotten her answer from his evasive gaze.

She did not understand why they had to give up competing for Chen Xing.

That woman was plainly threatening her in front of everyone.

If Chen Xing joined the Worship Hall, he would face her endless pursuit. Then no one would get this genius.

"Xue'er, forget it..."

"Either way, he'll be serving Spirit Hall..."

The moment the answer came from his own mouth, the light in Qian Renxue's eyes instantly dimmed.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong revealed the smile of a victor.

She even provocatively pulled Chen Xing into her embrace.

But how could Qian Renxue, who had grown up in the Worship Hall, possibly endure such humiliation?

She immediately completed Martial Soul Possession.

"Bibi Dong! You've deliberately targeted me time and again."

"And now you're threatening me in front of everyone—threatening one of my people."

"You clearly know that I discovered Chen Xing first, yet you still came in halfway to steal him away."

"I want a duel with you!"

The moment those words were spoken, it was like a spark igniting a fuse of explosives.

Bibi Dong had just been feeling triumphant, delighted by Qian Daoliu's defeated expression.

But her expression suddenly froze, and her eyes immediately turned incomparably gloomy.

A terrifying fluctuation of Soul Power abruptly erupted from her body.

A duel?

This person before her actually wanted a duel with her?

Watching the golden Holy Sword flow with radiance in Qian Renxue's hand, she could not help but think of that person from back then...

Rakshasa Divine Power surged forth, and an Evil fluctuation of Soul Power leaked from between her fingers.

This scene startled everyone present.

Chen Xing, whose hand she was holding, bore the brunt of it. A chilly force followed his palm, attempting to invade his meridians.

What is going on? Why did she suddenly lose control?!

In his urgency, he had no choice but to circulate his Soul Power and resist it.

Who knew what harm this ghostly thing could do to his body? His life had only just begun...

Seeing Bibi Dong in this state, Qian Daoliu hurriedly pulled Qian Renxue away.

"Calm down!"

As he left, a cold shout filled with light-attribute Soul Power rang out and entered Bibi Dong's ears.

Only then did she barely manage to steady her emotions.

Chen Xing, watching from the side, was already wearing a completely lifeless expression.

Just as expected! He had ultimately still fallen into Bibi Dong's hands.

She was still holding his hand now, but fortunately, the so-called Rakshasa Divine Power did not seem all that powerful.

For some reason, although that force was violent and Evil, appearing immensely imposing,

as long as he focused and used the Sword Intent he had comprehended two days earlier to block it, it would basically be dispelled in moments.

After calming down, Bibi Dong closed her eyes and took deep breaths for quite some time.

Then she suddenly thought of Chen Xing in her hand. When the Rakshasa Divine Power had leaked out just now, could it have killed this little fellow outright?

She hurriedly lifted Chen Xing's little hand and lowered her head to look at him.

"Hmm? He wasn't affected?"

"How is that possible!"

Although the boy's expression looked unpleasant, it clearly was not caused by physical discomfort. It was more like helplessness...

That left Bibi Dong and the others greatly shocked.

Ever since she had accepted the Rakshasa God Trial, its divine power had been affecting her body at every moment.

When the symptoms were mild, she merely became emotionally unstable. As long as she tried to restrain herself, she could still regulate it effectively.

When the symptoms grew severe, it would erupt directly. Even the divine power that leaked out would take a Title Douluo like Gui Mei a long time to absorb.

Yet this brat was acting as though nothing had happened!

Was it my own illusion? Could it be that the divine power never leaked out...

As she pondered, the people from the Worship Hall in the plaza had already begun leaving one after another.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong also took Chen Xing back to the Pope Hall.

"This boy seems to be far from as simple as he appears..."

"Then again, who could cultivate to Soul Elder at the age of six?"

From just now until this moment, Bibi Dong had never let go of the boy's hand. She was even carefully stroking the texture of his skin, pinching and prodding it.

This action immediately made cold sweat seep down Chen Xing's back.

He suddenly felt that choosing to take human form in the beginning had been a mistake...

Being the only hundred-thousand-year Solitary Bamboo in the Soul Hunting Forest seemed pretty good too.

Throughout the entire day, he had only exchanged a few words with Qian Renxue at the beginning. After that, everyone's arguments over who he belonged to had not had the slightest thing to do with him.

In other words, he had absolutely no right to choose which faction he belonged to.
