Bibi Dong's Assassination Fails

Bibi Dong had been taken in as a disciple by Qian Xunji when she arrived at Martial Soul Hall at the age of six. To protect her, their living quarters were not far apart, connected by a dedicated passageway. Therefore, Bibi Dong did not worry about being seen in her nightgown by the palace guards, nor did she fear her body being exposed.

"Big Brother, why is Bibi Dong going to the Pope's chambers dressed like that so late at night?"

In the shadows, Falling Devil Douluo, arranged by Qian Daoliu to guard Qian Xunji's safety, spoke. As a Soul Douluo, Bibi Dong naturally could not hide from his Title Douluo-level spiritual perception.

Thousand Jun Douluo glanced at Bibi Dong with his spiritual power before quickly withdrawing it to avoid being offensive, scolding, "Falling Devil, don't look at what you shouldn't!"

As someone who had seen it all, Thousand Jun Douluo naturally understood the situation and added, "It seems the Pope's actions over these years have earned Bibi Dong's forgiveness. They will no longer be just master and disciple, and the Young Mistress will finally have a stable family."

To increase the success rate of killing Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong had deliberately worn her nightgown out. She did this so that any Title Douluo hidden in the shadows guarding Qian Xunji would not suspect her true purpose for heading to the Pope's chambers so late.

In the eyes of ordinary soul masters in Martial Soul Hall, Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong were master and disciple, but in the eyes of the high-ranking Title Douluos, the specific relationship between them and the truth of who Qian Renxue's biological parents were were well known.

At this moment, throughout the entire Martial Soul Hall, aside from the Limit Douluo-level spiritual power of Qian Daoliu, which could perceive the crazily suppressed killing intent Bibi Dong was releasing and realize something was wrong, everyone else would be deceived by her recent behavior.

In the secret chamber, Qian Xunji sat cross-legged on a straw mat. He opened his eyes, his expression shifting; he felt his soul power beginning to fail, with waves of chill constantly rising from all parts of his body.

"What is happening? Is it that my injuries have not yet fully healed?"

Just as this thought crossed Qian Xunji's mind, his expression changed again. He felt the Angel divine power bestowed upon him by Qian Daoliu surging through his entire body. The coldness within him faded, replaced by an incomparably warm sensation, and his vast soul power as a level 95 Title Douluo began to circulate again under his mental control.

At this moment, the air in the secret chamber turned icy. The sound of high heels clicking against the floor echoed from afar, drawing closer. At the entrance of the chamber, a beautiful figure in a nightgown walked in slowly; that figure was none other than Bibi Dong.

Based on the circulation of the Angel divine power, Qian Xunji had already guessed that his inability to use his soul power was not due to the injuries caused by Tang Hao, but because he had been poisoned. Given the suspects capable of poisoning him, Bibi Dong's appearance here, and Qian Daoliu's warning, he was ninety-nine percent certain that the person who poisoned him was Bibi Dong.

Yet, holding onto a shred of hope, he asked, "My 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 giant purple-black spider phantom appeared behind her, diving into her body as she initiated Martial Soul Possession: Death Spider Emperor.

Bibi Dong's legs vanished. From her abdomen down, she became a massive, circular, spherical body. From this sphere grew eight thick, long legs covered in patches of nauseating green hair and slime, which dripped onto the floor with a sizzling, corrosive sound.

The skin of her upper body was also covered in a layer of purple-black armor, and even her face was obscured by a carapace, with four small eyes growing beneath her main pair. No matter how one looked at it, she resembled a giant venomous spider.

Blood-red light flickered, illuminating the entire secret chamber. Bibi Dong no longer suppressed herself, and her Slaughter God's Domain erupted wildly.

During the cultivation process of a powerhouse, especially when breaking through, the greatest taboo is being disturbed. Therefore, Qian Xunji's cultivation chamber was built with special materials capable of blocking all auras.

Since they had no intention of peeking, Thousand Jun Douluo and Falling Devil Douluo, guarding outside the 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 suggested that Bibi Dong might be acting, he had anticipated this scene. If his death could dissolve Bibi Dong's hatred, and if she could live in harmony with Qian Renxue, wholeheartedly develop Martial Soul Hall, and lead it to a new peak, then his sacrifice was not entirely unacceptable.

The Qian family already had an heir. As the Pope, everything should be prioritized for the benefit of Martial Soul Hall. He had been crushed by Tang Hao, his reputation had hit rock bottom, and the future benefits he could create for Martial Soul Hall were clearly inferior to those of the infinitely promising, twin-martial-soul-wielding Bibi Dong. Furthermore, his death would only further ignite Qian Renxue's motivation to cultivate; no matter how one looked at it, it was a massive gain.

Bibi Dong's face was twisted with excitement, and she let out a sharp, shrill laugh as the killing intent within the Slaughter God's Domain surged violently.

"Hate? I hate you every single moment! And every single moment, I want to kill you! Nine years, Qian Xunji. I have endured for nine whole years, and today, I have finally waited for this opportunity."

Qian Xunji said, "If killing your master can appease your resentment, then come. I only hope that in the future, you will treat little Xue well and develop Martial Soul Hall together."

"Don't mention that bastard child!" Bibi Dong roared, "Qian Xunji, you ruined me! You made my body filthy, made it so I couldn't be with Xiao Gang, made me unworthy of Xiao Gang!"

"First you, then Martial Soul Hall. I will pull the roots of your Angel Clan from the earth and destroy your entire lineage!"

"You shameless beast, today is the day you die!"

Bibi Dong's eight sharp spider legs thrust toward Qian Xunji without hesitation, aiming for his arms and thighs; it was clear 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, and six wings sprouted from his back as he initiated Martial Soul Possession: Six-Winged Angel.

"Bang!"

Bibi Dong was sent flying by the force, slamming heavily against the wall of the secret chamber.

"How is this possible? You were clearly poisoned! How can you still unleash such powerful strength?"

Bibi Dong was incredulous, her heart filled with despair and unwillingness. She could not understand why the poison she had used to seal his soul power had not taken effect. Had Qian Xunji detected her disguise? She had been as careful as one could possibly be, as cautious as one could possibly be.

Although Bibi Dong's cultivation was at the high level of 87 Soul Douluo, and she possessed exceptional talent and a top-tier martial soul, allowing her to fight above her rank, she could never bring herself to fight against Qian Xunji. Even though his injuries were not fully healed and he could not exert his full strength.

The Six-Winged Angel was the absolute nemesis of evil-type martial souls. Facing the Six-Winged Angel, Bibi Dong's strength plummeted by seventy percent instantly. With only thirty percent of her power available, what could she possibly use to fight Qian Xunji?
