Among Sea of Consciousness, Nan Feng looked at the sharp-tongued and aura-filled Bibi Dong outside, a little surprised.
"Tsk tsk tsk."
"Dong'er, your talkative skills are getting worse and worse now."
"Remember how reserved you were back then, Pope, and you had to make three detours when speaking. But now, when you open your mouth, you are a 'high-level domestic slave', and when you shut up, you are a 'watchdog'. This is your ability to poke deep into people's hearts..."
"You're almost catching up with me."
"..."
Bibi Dong replied coldly:
"I've seen you doing things for so long, and I've been influenced by it. I have to learn it even if I don't want to learn it."
"I have no choice but to learn whatever skills I want from someone. I have been facing a scoundrel like you all day long. If I didn't make progress, I would have been pissed to death by you."
"Ha!"
Nan Feng is happy:
"What is this? A husband singing and a wife following her?"
Bibi Dong ignored him, directly blocked his mental connection and focused on the situation in front of him.
Inside the Elder Hall, the deathly silence lasted for a long time.
Everyone's face was ugly, and it felt like being stripped naked in public, which was really embarrassing. But what Bibi Dong said was true, so they didn't even have the confidence to refute.
In the end, it was Tang Xiao who broke the silence.
Although the former leader of the first sect in the world was stung by Bibi Dong's words, he was still the leader of a sect after all, and he still had a pattern.
"His Holiness the Pope."
Tang Xiao took a deep breath, looked directly at Bibi Dong, and said in a low voice:
"If you are just saying this to ridicule everyone here, just to vent your emotions, then it would be a bit boring."
"The gap in military force is a real issue and cannot be eliminated with a few harsh words."
"Just like in order to protect Clear Sky Sect, I had to agree to your conditions and join Spirit Hall."
Tang Xiao pointed at Demon Bear and others:
"The same goes for these elders. There is nothing shameful in choosing to bow down in the face of absolute power and choosing to preserve the family."
"How to solve the problem is the key."
"When there is a way out and room for retreat, few people are willing to risk their lives and wealth. This is human nature."
Tang Xiao's words gave the elders a way to step down, and everyone looked at him gratefully.
"Sect Master Tang is right."
Bibi Dong nodded and did not deny:
"I don't have much time to spare to ridicule everyone."
"The reason why I want to speak clearly and say it so harshly is just to let everyone recognize the reality and to make the next things go more smoothly."
Bibi Dong stood up and put his hands on the table.
"As the saying goes: The soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the horizontal ones, the horizontal ones... are afraid of their lives."
"Qian Daoliu is strong, but he is not a god. He is also afraid of trouble, and even more afraid that this mess Spirit Hall will completely fall apart."
"In the final analysis."
Bibi Dong looked around at everyone and spoke word by word:
"If everyone at the Elder Hall can truly unite, if everyone dares to risk their lives with that old guy and dare to make things big."
"Do you think Qian Daoliu really dares to go on a killing spree?"
"Does he dare to kill us all?"
Demon Bear Douluo was stunned for a moment and shook his head subconsciously.
Kill them all? Then wouldn't Spirit Hall become an empty shell?
"He didn't dare."
Bibi Dong sneered:
"If the emperors of the two empires want to kill someone, even if they kill a minister, they have to find a high-sounding reason and consider the impact."
"If Qian Daoliu dares to kill Elder Hall because of this trivial matter, kill all of us Titled Douluo."
"Then Spirit Hall must be dispersed tomorrow!"
"It doesn't matter how high the conditions offered by the two empires are to poach people, even if it's just to save their lives, all the tens of thousands of soul masters in Wuhun Palace will be wiped out overnight!"
"Everyone joins Spirit Hall for profit and glory and wealth. But no matter how big the profit is, you have to have your life to get it!"
"Once Spirit Hall becomes a slaughterhouse where anyone can be killed, who will dare to stay?"
When the elders heard this, they nodded thoughtfully.
Indeed, although Qian Daoliu is strong, he is not crazy.
There is no rule without rules. Spirit Hall is not a bandit's den. Even if it is a bandit's den, it must be reasonable.
The prerequisite for asking for money is that you have life to spend. If your life is gone, money is of no use?
"So."
Bibi Dong continued, "The reason why Qian Daoliu can threaten everyone with force is to keep everyone under control."
"It's just because you can kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."
"Because everyone wants to die as a fellow Daoist but not as a poor Daoist!"
Bibi Dong pointed at Tang Xiao:
"Just like before Spirit Hall went to war against the Clear Sky Sect."
"If Upper Three Sects is really on the same page, and they really share the same hatred as they advertise. If Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect didn't sit back and watch, and didn't think about seeing Clear Sky Sect suffer."
"Is it possible that Spirit Hall can really start a full-scale war with the entire Upper Three Sects? How many people will die? Does Qian Daoliu dare to issue this order?"
"He doesn't dare!"
"But the problem is..."
Bibi Dong sighed and glanced at everyone's face:
"Everyone will always just sit on the sidelines and look on with cold eyes. They will only think that as long as the fire does not burn me, it will be fine."
"This habit... is very bad."
"Because when the fire really burns you, you can only... wait to die."
The atmosphere in the hall fell into deathly silence again, even more depressing than before.
The elders lowered their eyes, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
Unity?
These two words are easy to say, and they come out as soon as your lips touch them.
But when it comes to a life-or-death situation, who dares to hand over their back to these old foxes next to them?
Who can guarantee that when you confront Qian Daoliu for the sake of "collective interests", the people next to you won't turn around and sell you out just to save their lives?
Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys... what if you become the "chicken" that is killed to show the monkeys?
No one is stupid, and no one wants to be taken advantage of.
"It seems that everyone still has doubts."
Bibi Dong looked at the flickering eyes of everyone and did not feel disappointed. Instead, he seemed to have expected it and said calmly:
"I know what you are thinking."
"You are thinking, what if someone betrays you? What if someone uses someone else's head as a pledge of loyalty to Qian Daoliu?"
"This is normal."
Bibi Dong slowly walked down the steps, "The basis of unity is never illusory trust, but the absolute unity of interests and positions."
"The so-called betrayal is simply because the stakes of betrayal are high enough, and it is simply because there is room and room for changing one's stance."
"I don't like to say nonsense about 'please trust each other'. It's just to coax children and is meaningless."
Bibi Dong stopped in front of the long table, with his hands on the table and his eyes burning:
"The most direct and objective way to solve this problem is to completely lock down everyone's interests! Let you... have no way to retreat!"
Hearing this, Demon Bear and others' hearts jumped suddenly, and an extremely bad premonition came into their hearts.
"Everyone."
Bibi Dong pointed at everyone present:
"Everyone present, in fact, even the elder Tang Xiao who has just joined, if the price offered by Qian Daoliu is high enough, and if Clear Sky Sect is at a critical moment of life and death, there is a possibility that he will turn to Qian Daoliu for the sake of the sect."
Tang Xiao frowned slightly, but did not refute. As the leader of the sect, the survival of the sect is indeed above all else.
"Let alone others."
Bibi Dong glanced at Demon Bear Ghost Leopard, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes:
"You were originally promoted by the Qian Family. As long as Qian Daoliu hooks his fingers and gives you a step, you will kneel back faster than anyone else."
"So..."
Bibi Dong pointed at himself sharply:
"Here, the only one who cannot surrender to Qian Daoliu, and the only one who has no way out, is me!"
"I am the only one who, in front of everyone in the world, forced Qian Daoliu to kick his biological son out of the family tree, and stepped on the Angel Family's face and rubbed it on the ground!"
"There is no room for relaxation between me and Qian Daoliu."
"You should be very clear about this."
The elders nodded silently.
Indeed, Bibi Dong did such a great job that even Qian Daoliu could no longer accept her.
"So, at least when it comes to resisting Qian Daoliu, you can trust me unconditionally, because I have no choice."
Bibi Dong The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a frightening smile:
"Then, in order for everyone to be as determined as I am in the future, in order for everyone to be truly united."
"I have a small suggestion."
Bibi Dong clapped his hands, his voice soft but unmistakable:
"I heard that the elders' families have many talented children who are the hope of the family's future."
"Since we are all in the same boat now, let's stop hiding it."
"From now on, all Elder Hall's direct descendants in the family, and all those who have awakened Martial Soul, can... no, it is necessary."
Bibi Dong emphasized his tone:
"You must send him to the Pope Palace and enter the special training class of the Spirit Hall Academy."
"I will personally guide them and give them the best resources so that they can become the future pillars of the Spirit Hall."
"Proton... proton?!"
Demon Bear Douluo almost couldn't help shouting, and his face instantly turned pale.
Where is this learning? This is clearly holding their weaknesses hostage!
