Douluo: Return of the Killing Star, Starting with a Reckoning for Bibi Dong

In her view, although the intruder was a Titled Douluo, he was nothing to be afraid of in front of Martial Soul Hall.

With so many Titled Douluos in Martial Soul Hall, could they not handle a single opponent?

Hatred filled Hu Liena's heart. She stared at the back of Qian Xun'an and said coldly, "Daring to barge into our Martial Soul Hall—no matter who you are, I will make you pay the price!"

Just then, three figures arrived where Hu Liena stood.

One of them wore silver-white robes, had a slender build, pale skin, and was exceptionally handsome. He had red eyes, short silver hair with a hint of gradient red at the tips, and a Red Butterfly Pattern at the corner of his eye.

This person was Hu Liena's brother, Xie Yue.

There was also a man with a head of red hair, looking incredibly fiery and bewitching. He had a lean, muscular build and carried an aura of ferocity.

This person was Yan, one of the three members of the Golden Generation.

Finally, there was an old man holding a chrysanthemum. He appeared to be only in his twenties, looking extremely enchanting and possessing a cynical air.

Seeing the old man, Hu Liena immediately walked over and called out, "Grandpa Chrysanthemum!"

This old man was one of the elders of Martial Soul Hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.

Yue Guan looked at Hu Liena calmly and asked, "What is it, Nana? What has made you so panicked?"

Hu Liena immediately said, "Grandpa Chrysanthemum, it's bad. Someone has forced their way into our Martial Soul City. It looks like a Titled Douluo!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan was immediately shocked and asked again, "You say a Titled Douluo has forced his way into our Martial Soul City?"

Hu Liena nodded immediately.

"Let's go take a look!"

The four of them immediately chased in the direction Qian Xun'an had left.

At this moment, Qian Xun'an was walking slowly down the streets of Martial Soul City, observing his surroundings.

"Compared to back then, this Martial Soul City has changed a lot. It really is a case of 'things remain, but the people have changed'!"

He sighed as he walked.

"However, so many years have passed; I fear the position of Pope is no longer held by Father. It must have been inherited by my elder brother!"

Qian Xun'an murmured softly.

At this moment, memories of his childhood with his elder brother, Qian Xunji, surfaced in Qian Xun'an's mind.

Back then, no matter what his brother had, he would always yield to him. Even though his own talent surpassed his brother's, his brother had never felt a shred of jealousy.

The bond between the two brothers had always been excellent.

Counting it now, he and his brother had likely not seen each other for decades.

Suddenly, Qian Xun'an stopped in his tracks because he discovered that more than a dozen guards had appeared in front of him, blocking his path.

Qian Xun'an looked at the guards before him and smiled faintly, "What, is it this difficult for me to return home?"

"Sir, this is Martial Soul Hall. You cannot force your way in!" the lead guard said respectfully.

Qian Xun'an shook his head and said, "I asked you to report it, but you wouldn't. Now that I've come in myself, you want to stop me?"

Just then, not far away, an androgynous voice came from behind him.

"Who are you, sir, and why do you force your way into our Martial Soul Hall?"

The next moment, a golden chrysanthemum appeared, and a man in ornate robes emerged from within the golden petals.

This person was none other than Yue Guan!

Yue Guan landed in front of Qian Xun'an, holding a golden chrysanthemum in his hand. He looked incredibly effeminate, giving off an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

The next moment, Yue Guan immediately released his martial soul. Nine soul rings appeared around him, and he launched an attack at Qian Xun'an. The immense power caused ripples in the air, demonstrating his formidable strength.

Yue Guan was a level 94 Titled Douluo, and his strength could be considered top-tier on this continent.

However, facing Yue Guan's attack, Qian Xun'an had no intention of dodging. Instead, he smiled slightly and swung his palm out abruptly. A gust of wind whistled forth, heading straight for Yue Guan.

Boom!

The two collided, and intense shockwaves spread outward.

Yue Guan was blown back several meters by the gust, while Qian Xun'an remained standing in place, as if the powerful wind had no effect on him at all.

Yet, Yue Guan felt that the power of that palm was far too great; if his opponent had been serious, he would have been injured long ago.

That meant this person before him was incredibly strong!!

At this moment, a trace of fear flickered in Yue Guan's heart.

Qian Xun'an looked at Yue Guan with a calm expression and then spoke, "Am I really that unwelcome? I'm just coming home; why must so many people try to stop me?"

Yue Guan looked at Qian Xun'an and immediately asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Qian Xun'an spoke calmly, "I told you, but you didn't believe me. My name is Qian Xun'an, and my elder brother is Qian Xunji. I came to Martial Soul Hall to find my brother.

By the way, he should be the Pope of Martial Soul Hall by now, right?"

When everyone heard the name Qian Xunji, almost everyone fell silent.

They naturally knew this name.

Qian Xunji was the previous Pope of Martial Soul Hall, but unfortunately, after his battle with Tang Hao, he suffered severe injuries and passed away not long after returning to Martial Soul Hall.

Later, it was Qian Xunji's disciple and wife, Bibi Dong, who took over as the Pope of Martial Soul Hall.

They also discovered that Pope Bibi Dong seemed to dislike others talking about the former Pope, so in front of the Pope, almost no one dared to mention that name.

The three words "Qian Xunji" had almost become a taboo within Martial Soul Hall.

Looking at the surprised expressions of the crowd, Qian Xun'an did not quite understand what was going on.

However, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Just then, a voice drifted over from not far away: "I heard you wanted to see me?"

A beautiful figure was seen slowly walking toward Qian Xun'an. She wore a bright golden gown that outlined her flawless curves, the Nine-Curved Purple Gold Crown atop her head shone with myriad rays of light, and she held a scepter about two meters long, inlaid with countless gemstones.

Her fair skin and near-perfect face carried a faint smile.

Her eyes were filled with an air of arrogance, like a noble empress.

And she was none other than the current Pope of Martial Soul Hall—Bibi Dong!

Bibi Dong wore a pair of crystal high heels, stepping onto the ground one step at a time, the 'clack-clack' sound echoing throughout the entire plaza.

At this moment, seeing Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and the others hurriedly knelt to pay their respects: "Greetings, Teacher..."

"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope!"

Bibi Dong held her head high with pride and said calmly: "Rise, there is no need for such formalities!"

Qian Xun'an looked at this woman, but he did not recognize her.

When he went missing, he was only ten years old, and at that time, the Pope of their Martial Soul Hall was still his father, Qian Daoliu.

As for the elders of Martial Soul Hall, they were all from the older generation; by now, they were likely all Consecrated in the Douluo Consecrated Hall.

Therefore, Qian Xun'an hardly recognized any of these new-generation Title Douluo elders.

Naturally, he did not recognize the female Pope before him either.

However, what surprised Qian Xun'an was that the Pope was not his elder brother, Qian Xunji, but this woman.

Although the aura emanating from this woman was quite strong, Martial Soul Hall was, after all, the foundation the Qian family had inherited for ten thousand years; how could they let a woman sit on the throne of the Pope?

And what about his elder brother, Qian Xunji?

Even if his father had abdicated, shouldn't it have been his elder brother, Qian Xunji, who took the position of Pope?

Qian Xun'an looked at the approaching Pope Bibi Dong and asked calmly to confirm: "Are you the current Pope of Martial Soul Hall?"

Bibi Dong smiled, looking at Qian Xun'an with a playful glint in her eyes, and said: "What, didn't you keep saying outside the city that you wanted to see me? Now that you see me, you don't even recognize me?"

Qian Xun'an shook his head and sighed: "I did indeed want to see the Pope of Martial Soul Hall, but I didn't expect that after all these years, Martial Soul Hall would fall into the hands of a woman."

As soon as these words were spoken, before Bibi Dong could even get angry.

Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately spoke up: "Audacious scoundrel, how dare you slander Her Holiness the Pope like this!"

Hu Liena, standing to the side, immediately chimed in: "Where did this country bumpkin come from, daring to slander my teacher? My teacher is one of the few female Popes since the inheritance of Martial Soul Hall; are her achievements something a bumpkin like you can judge?"

The guards nearby also immediately drew their swords and spears, entering a combat stance and pointing them at Qian Xun'an.

Bibi Dong remained composed, her gaze fixed on Qian Xun'an as she said coldly: "What do you mean by that? The affairs of our Martial Soul Hall are not for you to interfere with."

Bibi Dong began to probe Qian Xun'an's aura, but she felt that the aura on his body was like that of an ordinary person; she had no idea what his true strength was.

For such a person, there were generally two possibilities: first, he was a waste with no soul power.

Second, he was very strong!

And the Qian Xun'an before her was naturally the latter.

Therefore, even Bibi Dong did not dare to rashly make a move against Qian Xun'an.

Qian Xun'an shrugged his shoulders and said calmly: "Enough, I am not here to fight. I came here to see my elder brother, Qian Xunji. I wonder, where is he?"
