The terrifying pressure belonging to a Rank 99 Peerless Douluo descended upon Bibi Dong like Mount Tai pressing down from above.

"Great Pontiff! What are you trying to do?! I am the Pontiff!"

Bibi Dong's complexion changed drastically. She fiercely shook her scepter, and the soul power on her body immediately surged frantically, treating him like a formidable enemy!

"Bibi Dong..." Qian Daoliu said in a hoarse voice, as if an evil ghost were roaring, "I should have killed you back then!"

"If I had killed you back then, Xiao Xue wouldn't have gone to the Heaven Dou Empire just to prove herself! And she wouldn't have died there!"

"What?" Hearing this, Bibi Dong lost all color in her face, "What did you say? Qian Renxue is dead? That's impossible!"

Her gaze suddenly crossed Qian Daoliu and looked at the ice-blue crystal coffin in the center of the grand hall...

Through the crystal, the person lying inside was unmistakably that face which was so familiar to her, yet filled her with extreme disgust.

But... for some reason, when she truly saw that daughter lying there completely lifeless, her heart felt as if it were being squeezed by an invisible pair of giant hands.

Pain... That inexplicable, sudden pain instantly swept through her entire body, leaving her nearly unable to breathe.

It was true that she didn't like Qian Renxue, for she was, after all, the evil spawn left behind by that bastard! She was an indelible disgrace throughout her life!

However... blood was thicker than water! Qian Renxue was, after all, her biological daughter whom she had carried in her womb for ten months and brought into this world!

Bibi Dong's emotions nearly collapsed completely, and a violent urge beyond her control fiercely battered at her sanity!

She bit her red lip until she drew blood, forcibly suppressing that impulse to destroy everything.

"How did she die?" Bibi Dong's voice was trembling as if she couldn't accept this reality, "Whose hands did she die at?"

"The Heaven Dou Empire... Tang San!" Qian Daoliu said expressionlessly, word by word.

"Tang San... Tang San!"

Bibi Dong gritted her teeth and let out a miserable laugh, "Tang San... What a good Tang San! What a very good Tang San!!!"

Suddenly, Bibi Dong's gaze locked onto Ye Cangming, who was kneeling on the ground. If she remembered correctly, it was he who had accompanied Xiao Xue to the Heaven Dou Empire?!

A fierce light burst from the depths of Bibi Dong's eyes. She suddenly raised her hand as a powerful suction force erupted abruptly, grabbing Ye Cangming by the neck.

"Aren't you her older brother? Is this how you protected Xiao Xue? Is this how you protected my daughter?" Bibi Dong's eyes were bloodshot, "Since she's dead, you should go keep her company in death!"

"Stop!" Qian Daoliu acted with fierce determination, turning his golden soul power into a giant hand to snatch Ye Cangming away.

"Bibi Dong! Have you gone completely mad?"

Qian Daoliu roared furiously, "Can a life-and-death battle between Titled Douluo be swayed by a mere Soul Saint?"

"What's the use of venting your resentment on a child?! Tell me, what use is it?!"

He placed Ye Cangming to the side, took a fierce step forward, and pointed straight at Bibi Dong's nose to curse, "If you still have a shred of conscience left! If you still have any maternal affection at all! You should go kill Tang San to avenge her, instead of here taking out your anger on Xiao Ye!"

"If Xiao Xue were still alive, she wouldn't want to see her mother kill her dear brother!"

"Instead of barking here like a mad dog! Our Spirit Hall owes you nothing now. All the hatred and all the debts that could be repaid have already been returned to you. What more do you want? Haven't you taken enough revenge?!"

Qian Daoliu's voice exploded like thunder, "You've achieved it all. You destroyed Spirit Hall and established your so-called Spirit Hall Empire! You destroyed the Qian family, and Xiao Xue died because of you!"

"If you had truly treated her sincerely and acknowledged her as your daughter, how could she, the dignified Young Lord of Spirit Hall, have ever gone to the Heaven Dou Empire to work as an undercover agent?!"

"From childhood to adulthood, you never once looked at Xiao Xue with open eyes! You regarded her as your disgrace, treated her with cold eyes, and subjected her to all sorts of harsh criticisms!"

"Now that Xiao Xue is dead, are you satisfied? What kind of deep maternal affection act are you putting on here? You have never acted like a mother!"

Every single word of Qian Daoliu's pierced like sharp knives deep into the most vulnerable part of Bibi Dong's heart.

Hearing this, Bibi Dong turned instantly pale, taking a few fierce steps back as her whole body nearly staggered and fell to the ground.

That's right... Qian Daoliu was right.

If she hadn't treated her with utter disgust back then, how could Xiao Xue have gone to execute a mission in the Heaven Dou Empire just to prove herself?

And not long ago, if she hadn't stubbornly insisted on launching the Soul Hunting Operation ahead of schedule and startled the enemy, how could Xiao Xue's undercover operation in the Heaven Dou Empire have been affected?!

So all of this... when it all came down to it, was caused entirely by herself, by her as a mother, single-handedly!

"I..." Bibi Dong's lips trembled. She didn't dare look into Qian Daoliu's eyes filled with hatred, and she dared even less to look at that cold crystal coffin!

Compared to herself, Qian Daoliu was actually even more pitiful!

His son had died at her hands, and now his granddaughter had lost her life due to her wrong decision, cutting off the Qian family's bloodline.

She had finally achieved it. She had truly destroyed Spirit Hall, she had truly destroyed the heritage of the Angel Clan, and she had accomplished it.

Yet, she couldn't smile at all, nor could she feel the slightest thrill of having her deep revenge fulfilled! Because the price for this was the life of her only daughter!

"I will avenge Xiao Xue..." Bibi Dong grew more and more broken. What had she done? What on earth had she done?!

"As a mother, as a mother, I will avenge Xiao Xue!" Tears swirled in Bibi Dong's eyes, but as the Pontiff, she held them back, "I will make Tang San... and the Heaven Dou Empire, I will make them pay a hundredfold!"

"A hundredfold price? What use is even a hundredfold price? What use is it even if the entire continent is buried with Xiao Xue? Xiao Xue is dead..."

Bibi Dong slowly turned around. Hearing those words, the pain in her heart grew increasingly intense. That's right, what use was it even if she got her revenge? Could her daughter come back to life?

"I will become a god... After I become a god, I will resurrect Xiao Xue... As a mother..."

Qian Daoliu watched her retreating back. He naturally knew that Bibi Dong possessed a god's inheritance, but so what?

Resurrecting the dead... Even a god would likely have to pay an unimaginable price, right?!

Bibi Dong left the Offering Hall without looking back. The moment she stepped out of the hall's doors, the night wind blew fiercely against her face, whisking away the tears at the corners of her eyes.

"Hahaha... Xiao Xue... is gone..."

Bibi Dong raised her head, looking at the desolate waning moon in the night sky. Her heart twitched in waves of pain—a tearing, heart-rending pain!

"Back then, I really shouldn't have treated her that way. To think that learning you're gone... would cause my heart to hurt this much."

Bibi Dong regretted it. She regretted why she had been so cruel back then to a daughter who yearned for maternal love.

She regretted even more that, for the sake of that ridiculous hegemony, she had eagerly and hastily launched the Soul Hunting Operation, cutting short her daughter's life.

"I will become a god..." Bibi Dong clenched the scepter in her hand, "Xiao Xue... wait for me. After Mother becomes a god, she will definitely resurrect you, even if you never acknowledge Mother again..."
