Bibi Dong had come to Spirit Hall at the age of six and been taken in as Qian Xunji's disciple. To protect Bibi Dong, their chambers were not far apart, with a private passage connecting them. Thus, she did not worry that the palace guards would see her in her nightclothes and expose her body.
"Big Brother, why is Bibi Dong dressed like that and heading to His Holiness the Pope's chambers so late at night?"
From the shadows, Jiang Mo Douluo, whom Qian Daoliu had assigned to protect Qian Xunji, spoke. Bibi Dong was merely a Soul Douluo and naturally could not hide from a Title Douluo's spiritual senses.
Qian Jun Douluo swept Bibi Dong with his spiritual power, then quickly withdrew it to avoid offending her. He rebuked him, "Jiang Mo, don't look at what you shouldn't!"
As someone experienced in such matters, Qian Jun Douluo naturally understood what was happening. He added, "It seems His Holiness the Pope's actions over these years have earned Bibi Dong's forgiveness. They will no longer be master and disciple, and the Young Master will have a stable family as well."
To increase her chances of killing Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong had deliberately worn her nightclothes. She wanted to prevent any Title Douluo secretly guarding Qian Xunji from suspecting her true purpose in visiting the Pope's chambers so late at night.
To ordinary Soul Masters of Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong were master and disciple. But among the upper ranks of the Title Douluos, everyone knew the true nature of their relationship and who Qian Renxue's biological parents were.
At that moment, aside from Qian Daoliu's Limit Douluo-level spiritual power, which could sense at a glance the frenzied, suppressed killing intent Bibi Dong was releasing and notice something was wrong with her, everyone else would have been deceived by Bibi Dong's behavior during this time.
Inside the secret chamber, Qian Xunji sat cross-legged on a patch of grass. He opened his eyes, his expression turning somewhat strange. He felt that his Soul Power had somehow become impossible to circulate, while waves of coldness continuously rose from every part of his body.
"What is going on? Have my injuries not healed yet?"
The moment this thought arose, Qian Xunji's expression changed again. He felt the Angel Divine Power Qian Daoliu had given him surge throughout his body. The icy sensation within him receded, replaced by incomparable warmth. His immense Level 95 Title Douluo Soul Power began circulating through his body once more under the command of his thoughts.
At that moment, the air in the secret chamber turned cold. The sound of high heels striking the ground drew closer and closer. At the entrance, a breathtaking figure in nightclothes slowly approached. It was Bibi Dong.
From the Angel Divine Power circulating within him, Qian Xunji had already guessed that his inability to circulate his Soul Power was not due to the injuries Tang Hao had inflicted, but because he had been poisoned. Considering the possible suspects capable of poisoning him, Bibi Dong's appearance here, and Qian Daoliu's warning, he was ninety-nine percent certain that Bibi Dong was the poisoner.
Yet he still harbored a shred of hope as he asked, "Good disciple, what have you come here for?"
"To collect a debt."
Two yellow, two purple, and four black Soul Rings emerged beneath Bibi Dong's feet. A massive purple-black spider phantom appeared behind her, then burrowed into her body. Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul Possession.
Bibi Dong's legs vanished. Below her abdomen was a massive round, spherical body, from which eight thick legs extended. They were covered in dense green hair and dripping with nauseating slime. Whenever it fell to the ground, it made continuous popping sounds and corroded the surface intensely.
Her upper body was also covered in a layer of purple-black armor. Even her face was obscured by a shell, and beneath her eyes, four additional small eyes had grown out. No matter how one looked at her, she resembled a gigantic venomous spider.
Blood-red light flickered, illuminating the entire secret chamber. Bibi Dong no longer restrained herself as Divine Slaughter's Domain erupted madly.
During cultivation, especially when breaking through in strength, the greatest taboo for the strong was being disturbed. Thus, Qian Xunji's cultivation chamber had been constructed from special materials capable of isolating all auras.
Since they had no intention of spying, Qian Jun Douluo and Jiang Mo Douluo, who stood guard outside the secret chamber, naturally did not sense the aura Bibi Dong had unleashed.
"Dong'er, do you hate your master that much?"
Qian Xunji sighed and asked. Ever since Qian Daoliu had explained that Bibi Dong might be acting, he had already expected this scene. If his death could resolve Bibi Dong's hatred, allow her to live peacefully with Qian Renxue, devote herself wholeheartedly to developing Spirit Hall, and lead Spirit Hall to new heights, then making such a sacrifice was not impossible.
The Qian Family already had an heir. As the Pope, he should place Spirit Hall's interests above all else. Tang Hao had beaten him badly, and his reputation had fallen to rock bottom. The benefits he could bring Spirit Hall in the future clearly could not compare with those Bibi Dong, with her boundless potential and Twin Martial Souls, could bring. Moreover, his death could further motivate Qian Renxue to cultivate diligently. No matter how he looked at it, it was an enormous profit.
Excitement twisted Bibi Dong's face as sharp laughter rang from her mouth. The killing intent within Divine Slaughter's Domain erupted wildly.
"Hate? I hated you every moment of every day! Every moment of every day, I wanted to kill you! Nine years, Qian Xunji. I endured for a full nine years, and today, I finally waited for this chance."
Qian Xunji said, "If killing your master can quell your resentment, then come. Your master only hopes that you will treat Xiao Xue well in the future and develop Spirit Hall together."
"Do not mention that bastard!" Bibi Dong roared. "Qian Xunji, you ruined me! You made my body filthy, made it impossible for me to be with Xiao Gang, made me unworthy of Xiao Gang!"
"First you, then Spirit Hall. I will uproot the very foundation of your Angel Clan and completely destroy your Angel Clan!"
"Shameless beast, today is the day you die!"
The eight sharp spider legs behind Bibi Dong stabbed toward Qian Xunji without hesitation. They aimed for his arms and thighs; clearly, she did not want him to die so easily.
Golden light flashed. Two yellow, two purple, and five black Soul Rings lit up beneath Qian Xunji's feet. Six wings spread from his back as the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul Possession took form.
Bang!
Bibi Dong was sent flying backward and smashed heavily into the wall of the secret chamber.
"How is this possible? You were clearly poisoned. How can you still unleash such powerful strength?"
Bibi Dong could not believe it. Her heart was filled with despair and unwillingness. She could not understand why the poison she had administered, which should have sealed Qian Xunji's Soul Power, had failed to take effect. Had Qian Xunji seen through her disguise? She had been as careful and cautious as possible.
Although Bibi Dong's cultivation had reached Level 87 Soul Douluo, and despite her extraordinary talent and top-tier Martial Soul allowing her to fight above her level, she had never been able to summon the will to resist Qian Xunji. This was true even though Qian Xunji had not recovered from his injuries and could not display his full strength.
The Six-Winged Angel was the absolute nemesis of evil Martial Souls. Against the Six-Winged Angel, Bibi Dong's strength instantly plummeted by seventy percent. With only thirty percent of her strength remaining, what could she use to fight Qian Xunji?
