Qian Daoliu: Loyalty!

In the Papal Hall.

The golden light fell on the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, making the purple patterns between the blades even clearer.

The Subduing Demon Douluo glanced at Bibi Dong, then turned to look at Qian Jun beside him.

He was just now excited about the possibility of Mysterious Light Sword making the list.

Now, looking at this truly Divine Artifact, he realized something.

These people have just pledged their loyalty!

The Papal Hall has handed over its command, and the consecrators and elders have finally accepted the position of Palace Master.

The Treasure Ranking just happens to open at this time!

If Bibi Dong receives another hefty reward...

The Subduing Demon Douluo pressed down on the Coiling Dragon Staff, swallowing back the words that were about to come out.

Qian Jun saw his movement and glanced towards the long steps.

Golden Crocodile Douluo had already stood up straight.

Chrysanthemum Douluo lowered his eyes, while Ghost Douluo put his hands back into his sleeves.

No one continued discussing the ranking of the Rakshasa Demon Scythe.

In the square, the heads of several bishops, which had just been raised, slowly lowered again.

They certainly hoped that the Spirit Hall's treasures would be on the list.

But Bibi Dong held the Demon Scythe, the expectation in her eyes all too obvious.

For a moment, everyone was unsure whether they should step forward to offer their congratulations.

Bibi Dong glanced at the elders on both sides.

Why is everyone so quiet?

Chrysanthemum Douluo looked up, his gaze falling on the Demon Scythe in her hand, and then he bowed forward.

We are waiting for the Golden Ranking to be announced.

That's a proper answer.

But after he finished answering, he went back.

Bibi Dong lightly tapped the sickle handle with her fingers.

She could tell.

These people worried that after she received the reward, she would compete with Qian Daochen for the Spirit Hall.

Just moments ago they were all bowing in unison, but now, with just one list being released, they have to carefully consider where they should even stand.

Qian Daoliu handed the gift book to the steward beside him and smoothed his sleeves.

"The opening of the Treasure Ranking is supposed to be a good thing."

What are you all doing with your heads down?

The bishops immediately stood at attention.

The Subduing Demon Douluo looked at the Mysterious Light Sword and finally spoke.

"The Great Enshrined is right."

"It would be a blessing for the Spirit Hall to have more treasures listed."

Qian Daochen stood at the foot of the steps, observing the reactions of the crowd.

He had not yet put away the general's order in his hand.

The golden token gently landed in his palm, making a crisp sound.

"Didn't you just say you were willing to follow my orders?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo immediately bowed.

I will never go back on my word!

Several worshippers then stepped forward.

Qian Daochen raised his hand, stopping their movements.

I haven't finished speaking.

Everyone remained where they were.

His gaze passed over the offerings and landed on the bishops and elders in the square.

"If a treasure makes the list, then be happy."

"If Heavenly Dao bestows a reward, then accept it."

"I'd love to see anyone's strength improve further."

Bibi Dong raised her eyes.

The White Clothes on the long steps fluttered gently in the wind. Qian Daochen glanced at the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, then looked at her.

"But you must remember."

"As long as I am here, the Spirit Hall will only have one command."

"My command."

No further conversation took place in the square.

Chrysanthemum Douluo shifted his gaze from the Demon Scythe, and lowered his waist even further.

He suddenly realized that his previous concerns were completely unnecessary.

Rakshasa God, in his own response to the inheritance, dared not make another move.

What can a reward that hasn't been claimed yet change?

Bibi Dong gripped the sickle handle, not answering immediately.

Qian Daochen did not avoid her gaze.

"Treasures can enhance your strength."

But it cannot save you from the next defeat.

Her fingertips rested on the Divine Mark.

I still remember clearly the sword light that cleaved through divine senses today.

The Demon Scythe was not damaged.

But she couldn't even touch the hem of Qian Daochen's clothes.

After a moment, Bibi Dong lowered her scythe.

The Papal Hall will follow the orders of the Papal Lord.

Just remember that.

The Qian Daochen were gathered, and he looked once more at the Heavenly Screen.

He did not demand that Bibi Dong hand over the Divine Artifact, nor did he press her further about her plans.

This composure, on the contrary, completely put the elders below at ease.

Qian Daoliu a step forward, pressing his right hand against the Mysterious Light Sword.

"My loyalty to my elder brother is irrelevant to whether or not the Mysterious Light Sword makes the list."

"The same applies to the Worship Hall!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo followed suit.

"We are loyal to the Lord!"

The Subduing Demon Douluo stood the Coiling Dragon Staff upright and straightened his back.

"From now on, anyone who dares to disobey the Palace Master's orders by using the rewards from the rankings will be the first to object!"
