Grandfather and Grandson Team Up to Humiliate Bibi Dong!

Grandfather and grandson team up to humiliate Bibi Dong!

Bibi Dong's imposing aura remained unchanged.

Qian Renyu's soft words rang in her ears, but they no longer had any effect on her.

With a gloomy expression, Bibi Dong stared coldly at Qian Renyu.

At that moment, she showed none of the affection a mother should have for her child.

Instead, she looked more like a mortal enemy facing off against him.

"Nana is my disciple!"

"You want to lay a hand on my personal disciple right in front of me?"

"Qian Renyu, I can let bygones be bygones, but you've repeatedly tried to go after my people!"

"You've crossed the line!"

Bibi Dong's words were harsh, and she scolded him icily. Her resolve to protect Hu Liena did not waver in the slightest.

The higher one's position, the more one cared about saving face.

If you couldn't even save face or protect your own people, you had no business holding on to a high position.

Bibi Dong refused to believe it. She had sat on the Pope's throne for more than a decade; how could she be inferior to Qian Renyu, who had held the position for barely half a month?

In terms of power and resources, she was among the very best in all of Spirit Hall.

With such a powerful foundation, she would never allow Qian Renyu to use her as a stepping stone to power.

"We're back to the same question!"

"Bibi Dong, what authority do you think you have to interfere with what I'm doing?"

"What I'm doing today is in accordance with Spirit Hall's rules and regulations!"

"If anyone can disregard me, then what dignity does Spirit Hall's Pope have left when facing the world?"

"Think carefully and give me an answer that matches the situation!"

Qian Renyu spoke calmly, his gaze resting on Bibi Dong with the utmost composure.

Seeing Bibi Dong like this, he suddenly wondered how long she would keep holding back whatever she was hiding.

Bibi Dong's expression darkened. When Qian Renyu once again used the question of authority to corner her, a nameless fury rose within her.

As her emotions surged, the Soul Power churning around her grew far more violent. She was now in a state where she could easily kill a Titled Douluo like Yue Guan in an instant.

"You're trying to use authority to restrain me again!"

"Qian Renyu, don't forget: even if you've taken the position of Pope, and even if I've stepped down from it,"

"with my strength, I'm still entitled to the privileges of a Worshipper in Spirit Hall!"

"Worshippers aren't subject to the Pope's orders. Do you think that status isn't enough?"

Bibi Dong scolded him coldly.

Being a mother was one status, being Pope was another, and being a Worshipper was yet another.

As a former Pope, Bibi Dong knew Spirit Hall's rules by heart.

She refused to believe that after she invoked this status, Qian Renyu would still dare to do whatever he pleased in front of her.

Qian Renyu was quite surprised that Bibi Dong had invoked the status of a Worshipper.

Although Bibi Dong hadn't actually joined the Worship Hall, her strength certainly qualified her for a place there.

There was no doubt about that.

But...

Seeing Bibi Dong invoke this status to refute him, Qian Renyu felt a little amused after his initial surprise.

He didn't answer her right away, instead putting on a thoughtful expression.

Bibi Dong watched Qian Renyu's every reaction. When she saw his expression change, a dangerous glint flashed in her eyes.

Yue Guan reacted the same way, but he too was surprised that Bibi Dong had invoked the status of a Worshipper.

In Spirit Hall, Worshippers indeed weren't subject to the Pope's orders.

The only person who could command the many Worshippers in the Worship Hall was Qian Daoliu, the Grand Pontiff.

The Grand Pontiff was the Worship Hall's sole decision-maker, as well as the true pillar of Spirit Hall.

Even when Bibi Dong had been Pope, she hadn't dared meddle in the affairs of the Worship Hall.

Bibi Dong had found a reason that could indeed restrain Qian Renyu.

Just as Yue Guan was thinking this, Qian Renyu ended his thoughtful silence and looked at Bibi Dong, who remained defiant, with an amused smile. "Bibi Dong, have you forgotten that the Grand Pontiff is my own grandfather?"

"You want to use the status of a Worshipper to pressure me? Don't you think that's ridiculous?"

Bibi Dong's heart stopped.

She naturally knew about that relationship.

What she hadn't dreamed of was that Qian Renyu would bring it up now.

Qian Daoliu had overstepped when he interfered in Qian Renyu's seizure of power. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't interfere in Spirit Hall's affairs again.

But Qian Renyu's sudden mention of it gave her a bad feeling.

Qian Renyu didn't give Bibi Dong much time to think. He abruptly turned and looked toward the Worship Hall.

His voice sounded light, yet carried all the way to the Worship Hall.

"Old Master, I want to take charge of the Worship Hall. What do you think, Grandpa?"

"I want there to be only one voice in Spirit Hall!"

Bibi Dong's eyes widened.

When she actually heard Qian Renyu say those words,

even her usually steady composure faltered with disbelief.

Within Spirit Hall, the Pope's Palace and the Worship Hall had always operated as two separate systems.

Just as Yue Guan knew, back when she had been Pope, she had never even considered taking control of the Worship Hall.

Everyone admitted to the Worship Hall was a Titled Douluo of rank 99, renowned in the Soul Master World as a Super Douluo.

To keep a group like that in check, bloodline and status were one factor; strength was another.

She had never imagined that Qian Renyu's ambition could reach such heights.

He wanted there to be only one voice in Spirit Hall. Did that mean he intended to strip even Qian Daoliu of his authority?

Bibi Dong was startled. Her gaze flickered repeatedly toward the Worship Hall.

"That old fox Qian Daoliu helped Qian Renyu force me from office last time. Is he going to indulge Qian Renyu again this time?"

"If Spirit Hall is to have only one voice, the slightest misstep could lead to utter ruin!"

Bibi Dong was suspicious, unable to guess how Qian Daoliu would respond.

Bibi Dong knew that the main reason she couldn't take control of the Worship Hall was that she lacked the bloodline and status to do so.

Even if she had sufficient strength, she could only watch helplessly as the Worship Hall remained beyond her control—and even had to put up with it restraining her.

Qian Renyu had the bloodline and status, but his strength was still far from enough.

She couldn't be certain, but she was more inclined to believe that Qian Daoliu wouldn't indulge him.

Just as she was thinking this, Qian Daoliu's voice rang out from the Worship Hall, sounding as if he were beyond the mundane world.

His words were like a massive slap, striking Bibi Dong hard across the face.

"Very well. I'll temporarily grant you the authority to take charge of the Worship Hall!"

"When your strength reaches rank 99, the Worship Hall will be yours to command!"
