The interior of Martial Soul Hall has never been a monolith.

As fellow Title Douluo, the members of the Elder Hall have always been in competition with one another.

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, serving as the Pope's confidants, held positions that made many green with envy.

Why should Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo be the ones to stay by the Pope's side?

While everyone else could only sit on the sidelines.

Lingyuan Douluo considered herself no less capable than the two of them.

This time, since Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo had botched their mission, they were bound to be punished.

If she only performed well, she might just replace them and become the Pope's new confidant.

"Lingyuan, Tang San is the primary culprit behind the destruction of Martial Soul Hall."

"If he lives, none of us will have a good end."

"What is there for you to gloat about?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo saw through Lingyuan Douluo's petty schemes at a glance, and he could not be more furious.

At a time like this, instead of finding a way to track down Tang San, Lingyuan Douluo was still focused on infighting.

It was utterly foolish.

If Martial Soul Hall were to fall, none of them would escape a miserable fate.

Lingyuan Douluo remained indifferent.

"That's only because you two are useless!"

"If you had managed to capture Tang San from the very beginning."

"Would there be so much trouble now?"

Lingyuan Douluo mocked with disdain.

If it had been her and the other elders at Shrek Academy, Tang San would never have escaped.

As for that bastard Tang Hao, she didn't take him seriously at all.

"Stop talking big."

"If it were really up to you to deal with Tang Hao, you wouldn't necessarily do as well as we did."

Ghost Douluo snorted coldly.

It wasn't that he was praising Tang Hao.

It was just that Tang Hao was truly ridiculously strong.

An ordinary Title Douluo was simply no match for him!

"Don't make excuses for yourself."

"Trash is trash."

Lingyuan Douluo couldn't be bothered to argue and turned back toward Martial Soul Hall.

Their mission was to eliminate Tang San and leave no one alive at Shrek Academy.

Now that the target had fled, their mission was effectively over.

As for tracking people down, that was not her specialty.

"Old Ghost, we're likely in big trouble once we return."

Chrysanthemum Douluo's face turned pale.

He dared not imagine how Bibi Dong would punish them.

Bibi Dong was a madwoman.

Once enraged, she never cared for the lives of her subordinates.

"We can only blame our own bad luck this time."

Ghost Douluo sighed helplessly.

If he weren't completely bound to Martial Soul Hall.

He would have wanted to run away.

Returning to Martial Soul Hall...

The gathered elders were anxious, waiting for Bibi Dong to hold them accountable.

But when the Pope appeared, everyone was stunned.

Because the person sitting on the Pope's throne was not Bibi Dong.

It was Qian Xunji, who had long since died and now returned to life.

"Everyone, it has been a long time."

Qian Xunji's tone carried a hint of nostalgia.

His gaze swept slowly across the faces of everyone present.

"Greetings, Your Holiness."

"With your return as king, we are willing to follow you unto death."

Chrysanthemum Douluo was stunned for only three seconds before he immediately reacted.

His mood at this moment was both excited and thrilled.

Although he knew Qian Xunji had been resurrected, Chrysanthemum Douluo had never expected that the moment Qian Xunji returned, he would reclaim the throne of the Pope.

This meant they would no longer have to serve that madwoman, Bibi Dong.

Compared to following Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo were much more willing to follow Qian Xunji.

Damn sycophant, you beat me to it again.

Lingyuan Douluo cursed inwardly.

She hadn't reacted in time, and as a result, the opportunity to show her loyalty had been snatched away by Chrysanthemum Douluo.

It was too late to express her allegiance now; the effect would be diminished.

However, out of respect, the group of elders still bowed to Qian Xunji to express their stance.

"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, tell me what is going on."

With his return as king, Qian Xunji continued to rely heavily on Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo.

The first reason was naturally that he was used to using them.

When he was in power, he had always regarded the two as his confidants, and Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo had not failed to live up to his trust.

Most of the time, they had not disappointed Qian Xunji.

The second reason was that Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo were very strong.

When the two joined forces, they could produce an effect greater than the sum of their parts.

Do not be fooled by the fact that they were once beaten miserably by Tang Hao.

That was only because Tang Hao was too monstrous, not because they were useless.

Chrysanthemum Douluo suppressed the joy in his heart and detailed how Shrek Academy had been left empty.

He believed that Qian Xunji would certainly understand their predicament.

Qian Xunji knew just how perverted Tang Hao was.

Bibi Dong might not understand them, but Qian Xunji certainly would.

Sure enough, after Qian Xunji finished listening to the report, he did not make things too difficult for Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo.

After all, the fault did not lie with the two of them.

Tang Hao's strength was indeed something Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo could not handle.

If anyone was to be blamed for this, it had to be Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong knew clearly that Tang San would be the culprit behind the destruction of Martial Soul Hall in the future, yet she had not taken this matter seriously enough.

If Bibi Dong had mobilized the entire power of the Elder Hall from the very beginning, how could Tang San have lived until now?

To put it bluntly, this was all due to Bibi Dong's incompetent command.

"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, you may withdraw for now."

"Once the trail of Tang San and the others is found, I will never give them any chance to catch their breath."

Qian Xunji did not punish anyone.

He was not like that madwoman Bibi Dong, who did not treat her subordinates as human beings.

He had received a high-level education and had been influenced by Qian Daoliu since he was a child.

The only mistake Qian Xunji had ever made was forcing Bibi Dong into the secret chamber.

Other than that, Qian Xunji had almost no negative impression in the hearts of his subordinates.

"Old Ghost, we finally don't have to suffer Bibi Dong's temper anymore."

Walking out of the Pope Palace, Chrysanthemum Douluo's tone was filled with the joy of having survived a disaster.

He had already prepared himself to be punished by Bibi Dong.

Yet, who would have thought that Bibi Dong would fall from power.

Not only was her position as Pope stripped away.

But she was also driven out of Martial Soul Hall.

This was truly justice served by the heavens.

Ghost Douluo nodded.

With Qian Xunji back, their good days had returned.

Following Qian Xunji, they had no need to worry about his temperament being unstable.

Bibi Dong would vent her frustrations on them at the slightest provocation.

But Qian Xunji would never do such a thing.

The upbringing of the Angel Clan was no empty boast.

"Grandpa Chrysanthemum, Grandpa Ghost, Teacher has something to discuss with you."

Just as Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo were reminiscing, a charming figure suddenly appeared before them.

The newcomer was the current Saintess of Martial Soul Hall, Hu Liena.

After being driven out of Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong had not gone far.

Instead, she had found a place to settle down within Martial Soul City.

Bibi Dong's plan to attain godhood in the future still required the power of Martial Soul Hall.

She could not just leave like this.

"Nana, go back and tell Bibi Dong not to contact us again."

"We are afraid the Pope might misunderstand."

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo gave Bibi Dong absolutely no face.

Now that Bibi Dong was a nobody, her wanting to see them was nothing but a pipe dream.

Without needing to guess, the two knew that nothing good would come from Bibi Dong seeking them out.

In the past, when she was the Pope, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo dared not defy her.

But now, Bibi Dong was nothing more than a commoner.

She had no right to throw her weight around in front of them.
