At the thought of this, even Bibi Dong felt a chill run through her.
She knew full well that if they fought, she wouldn't stand a chance against Qian Xun'an.
Afterward, Chrysanthemum Douluo gave Bibi Dong a detailed account of the situation in the Star Dou Great Forest.
When he finished, Bibi Dong fell into deep thought.
After a long while, Bibi Dong finally looked up at Ghost Douluo and said, "Go gather the elders of Spirit Hall at once. I'm calling an emergency meeting!"
Ghost Douluo immediately nodded. "Yes!"
Inside Pope Hall.
Bibi Dong summoned the eight elders of Spirit Hall back.
The eight elders were Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, Spirit Kite Douluo, Snake Lance Douluo, Porcupinefish Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, and Holy Dragon Douluo.
However, Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo were on a mission in the Heaven Dou Empire and wouldn't be able to return anytime soon.
Ghost Douluo was already dead, so only Chrysanthemum Douluo, Spirit Kite Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, and Holy Dragon Douluo remained by Bibi Dong's side.
The meeting began. Bibi Dong also invited the seven members of the Worship Hall, and all Seven Great Elders came to Pope Hall. After all, Pope Bibi Dong had issued an emergency recall order.
Such an order was only issued when Spirit Hall faced a grave crisis. Once it was issued, it meant Spirit Hall was facing an unprecedented threat, and everyone had to return.
So even Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo, who were on a mission in the Heaven Dou Empire, hurried back to Spirit Hall as soon as they received the news.
At that moment, all of Spirit Hall's senior officials had gathered in Pope Hall, with the sole exception of Qian Xun'an.
Several Soul Douluos had also been invited to attend the meeting.
Qian Daoliu looked at Bibi Dong calmly. "Bibi Dong, why did you issue an emergency recall order?"
Bibi Dong looked around at everyone and began, "Esteemed enshrined elders, and elders of Spirit Hall, I issued the emergency recall order because Spirit Hall is about to face an unprecedented crisis!"
"A crisis?" Jin E, one of the enshrined elders, spoke up. "Spirit Hall has been peaceful for years. What crisis could there be? Bibi Dong, don't spread baseless rumors and unsettle everyone."
Bibi Dong immediately replied, "What I'm about to tell you will surely shock you, but this really is a crisis for Spirit Hall—one that concerns our very survival."
At this, everyone grew serious. They couldn't afford to take a threat to Spirit Hall's survival lightly.
Qian Daoliu looked at Bibi Dong. "What exactly happened?"
Bibi Dong began, "Qian Xun'an—our Adjudicator Elder—wants to destroy Spirit Hall!"
The words sent everyone in Spirit Hall into utter shock and disbelief.
Just then, Guangling Douluo spoke up from nearby. "Nonsense! Bibi Dong, what are you talking about?
"Everyone knows what Xun'an is like. He's devoted to the growth of Spirit Hall. Why would he want to destroy it?"
Azure Luan Douluo also spoke. "Exactly. Since Xun'an came back, everyone can clearly see that Spirit Hall has been steadily improving. I'm the first to disbelieve that he'd want to destroy it."
Even Qian Daoliu didn't believe Bibi Dong. "Bibi Dong, I know Xun'an and you have a history, but there's no need to frame him like this.
"He may dislike you, but he's never taken justice into his own hands. He's always followed Spirit Hall's rules."
Bibi Dong looked at the Seven Great Elders and said, "I knew you wouldn't believe me. But what if I told you he'd been controlled?"
At this, Guangling Douluo burst into laughter. He looked at Bibi Dong and said, "Bibi Dong, if you're going to lie, at least come up with a better excuse.
"Xun'an is a Limit Douluo, as powerful as the Great Enshrined. Who in this world could possibly control him?"
Bibi Dong continued, "Naturally, no one in this world could defeat him. But what if it were a god?"
Everyone's expressions turned grave.
Gods!
They were the stuff of legend on the Douluo Continent. It was said that after breaking through to Limit Douluo, one might become a god of legend, ascend to the Divine Realm, and live forever.
Bibi Dong looked around at everyone and continued, "There's something you may not know. Some time ago, Qian Xun'an went to Slaughter City.
"I've been there myself, so let me tell you its secret.
"Slaughter City isn't merely a city of sin. It's also a place where a god's trial is held. Anyone who earns the title of God of Slaughter can begin the Asura God Trial.
"Asura God is the god who governs slaughter in this world. His power is immense. Passing his trial grants one tremendous strength, and after breaking through to Limit Douluo, there's an even greater chance of ascending to the Divine Realm.
"But what you don't know is that, besides Asura God, another evil god dwells in Slaughter City.
"Her name is God of Rakshasa, and she governs the evil thoughts of this world."
"I also earned the title of God of Slaughter, so I too received the Asura God Trial. But many people earn that title, and Asura God will choose only one to inherit his divinity," Bibi Dong continued.
At this point, everyone turned to Bibi Dong and asked, "Bibi Dong, what does this have to do with Xun'an wanting to destroy Spirit Hall?"
Bibi Dong continued, "There's something you may not know. God of Rakshasa has a deep grudge against Angel God, the ancestor of Spirit Hall.
"That's why God of Rakshasa has always wanted to destroy everything Angel God built—including Spirit Hall."
Seeing that everyone was caught up in her story, Bibi Dong continued, "And I suspect Qian Xun'an received the Rakshasa God Trial. God of Rakshasa may have taken control of his mind by now."
At this, Guangling Douluo immediately snapped, "Bullshit!"
Guangling Douluo continued, "Xun'an has an Angel Martial Soul. If, as you say, Angel God was God of Rakshasa's enemy, why would God of Rakshasa choose Xun'an?"
Bibi Dong looked at Guangling Douluo and raised her voice. "Because that would make it all the more satisfying, and better fulfill her desire for revenge.
"Yes, Qian Xun'an has an Angel Martial Soul. But have you all forgotten that he also has a Dark Angel Martial Soul, one that embodies darkness and evil?"
The elders were utterly shocked. They hadn't known that the Adjudicator Elder also had a Dark Angel Martial Soul.
As for the enshrined elders, they had watched Qian Xun'an grow up, so they already knew he had Twin Martial Souls.
Bibi Dong looked at them and continued, "Wouldn't the Dark Angel Martial Soul be the perfect vessel for God of Rakshasa to inherit?"
Looking at the elders below, Bibi Dong saw that quite a few of them had already believed the story she'd concocted.
Of course, she knew God of Rakshasa well. After all, she was the one who had truly begun the Rakshasa God Trial!
Bibi Dong pressed her advantage. "If you don't believe me, you can ask the Great Enshrined. He's Qian Xun'an's father and knows his Martial Souls better than anyone."
Qian Daoliu sighed. "That's true. Xun'an does have Twin Martial Souls. But there's no way he'd choose the Rakshasa God Trial."
Bibi Dong continued, "It's not up to him. God of Rakshasa will interfere. You should all know the King of Slaughter.
"You probably don't know his true identity. His name is Tang Chen. He was once a Limit Douluo, just like the Great Enshrined. But while undergoing the Asura God Trial, he was influenced by God of Rakshasa and ultimately became her servant, remaining in Slaughter City.
"So in the face of a god, a Limit Douluo is nothing!"
Hu Liena had told Bibi Dong these things after returning, and Bibi Dong had embellished them, all to paint Qian Xun'an as someone controlled by an evil god.
She wanted everyone in Spirit Hall to turn against Qian Xun'an!
Bibi Dong continued, "After Na'er returned from Slaughter City, she told me something. Qian Xun'an had gone there too. He was incredibly strong, and he killed the King of Slaughter, who had been controlled by God of Rakshasa.
"God of Rakshasa was furious when she found out and took control of Qian Xun'an. Now he's on his way to Spirit Hall to destroy it!"
Everyone present was utterly shocked.
Apart from a few of the enshrined elders, most of the other elders fully believed Bibi Dong.
Those elders rarely visited Spirit Hall, and few of them had even met Qian Xun'an. In their eyes, His Holiness the Pope had always been the highest authority.
So they naturally believed what Bibi Dong said.
Holy Dragon Douluo spoke up. "It sounds like this situation really is dire."
Spirit Kite Douluo nodded too. "If that's the case, Qian Xun'an will be very difficult to deal with!"
Bibi Dong nodded. "You're right. Though his mind has been controlled, Qian Xun'an still remembers who his enemies are.
"He's always been at odds with me. When he returns to Spirit Hall, a major reason may be to kill me. So I'd like to ask you all to help me when the time comes!"
After acting for so long, Bibi Dong had finally revealed her true aim.
Indeed, she had already experienced Qian Xun'an's strength firsthand. There was no way she could defeat him on her own.
That was why she'd made up this story, hoping to unite all of Spirit Hall against Qian Xun'an.
Only then would she have a chance to eliminate him once and for all!
