"Tang Hao was dead. Who wanted to die next?"
Yet Qian Renchu felt not the slightest ripple in his heart.
In an era where strength reigned supreme, Spirit Hall needed to curry favor with no faction!
With him here, there was no need to fear offending any faction!
Qian Renchu gazed eerily across the entire venue.
Everyone sucked in a cold breath.
None dared meet Qian Renchu's gaze. Qian Renchu was simply an Asura from hell.
Even without the protection of Spirit Hall's elders and Pope,
Qian Renchu was still invincible in this world.
Just moments ago, Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi had still been confident they could defeat Qian Renchu. Now, even they averted their eyes and dared not utter a word.
"Since there's no one else, then you!"
Qian Renchu's gaze suddenly fell upon Yu Xiaogang!
Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and the others were instantly horrified.
Bibi Dong's pupils constricted as she gripped her scepter tightly.
"W-what are you trying to do?" Flender stepped in front of Yu Xiaogang at once.
"Move!" But in the next instant, Qian Renchu lightly swept his sleeve. Surging Soul Power burst forth, sending Flender's body flying heavily away.
"W-what are you trying to do?" Yu Xiaogang stared in terror at Qian Renchu, this god of slaughter, and pulled out a Spirit Hall Elder Token. "I-I'm a Spirit Hall elder! Do you dare kill me?"
Yu Xiaogang was not afraid of death?
That was impossible!
Qian Renchu was too terrifying.
Overcome by fear, Yu Xiaogang had no choice but to take out the Spirit Hall token.
"What? That fraud of a master is actually a Spirit Hall elder?" At these words, the noble Soul Masters present were all shocked.
Even Spirit Hall's elders and consecrated ones were slightly stunned.
The Spirit Hall guards hesitated over whether they should kneel.
"An elder?" Qian Renchu sneered. "Only a Title Douluo is qualified to become a Spirit Hall elder."
"You, a mere useless Soul Elder, dare hold a fake token and impersonate an elder of my Spirit Hall?"
Everyone nodded.
No matter how short-handed Spirit Hall was, it could not possibly make a useless fraud of a Soul Elder into an elder, could it?
Yu Xiaogang's body trembled. Tang Hao had given him his Elder Token, so naturally he could not say it was connected to that most-wanted criminal.
Thus, he gathered his courage and said, "Hmph, the Spirit Hall Pope knows whether my Elder Token is real or fake! If you don't believe me, ask her!"
"That's right!" Hearing this, Bibi Dong immediately stepped forward to defend her old lover Yu Xiaogang. "Within Spirit Hall, anyone holding an Elder Token is a Spirit Hall elder. Qian Renchu, you disrupted the tournament's order and committed violence openly in Spirit City. Come! Seize him!"
"Who dares touch me?" Qian Renchu sneered.
At those words, the Spirit Hall guards, elders, and consecrated ones looked at one another.
Even Chrysanthemum-Ghost Douluo looked unwilling.
Who would dare touch Qian Renchu? Was that not the same as seeking death?!
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth at the sight.
She had not expected the entirety of Spirit Hall to betray her!
"Bibi Dong!" At that moment, Qian Renchu fixed his gaze on Bibi Dong, who sat high above. "Bibi Dong, since you are so eager to die."
"Then I'll judge your crimes first!" Qian Renchu looked coldly at Bibi Dong.
Everyone was shocked by his words.
"Me? I am the Pope of Spirit Hall, the spiritual leader of the Soul Master world. What crime could I possibly have committed?" Bibi Dong glared furiously at Qian Renchu.
"What crime?" Qian Renchu sneered. "You murdered your own master and devoured the former Spirit Hall Pope, Qian Xunji?"
Qian Renchu's single sentence
was like a bomb exploding across the plaza.
"Wasn't Spirit Hall Pope Qian Xunji killed by Tang Hao?"
"Bibi Dong actually killed Qian Xunji?"
"If that's true, then Bibi Dong is truly an ungrateful wretch!"
In an instant, everyone began discussing it heatedly.
"His Holiness Qian Xunji was actually killed by Bibi Dong?" Chrysanthemum-Ghost Douluo looked at Bibi Dong in disbelief.
Yu Xiaogang was equally shocked!
"Father... was Mother the one who killed him?!" Qian Renxue seemed to have suffered a devastating blow and nearly fell from her seat.
Bibi Dong's expression changed drastically.
She had never expected Qian Renchu to know about this.
But she could not admit it. Even if beaten to death, she could not admit it.
Otherwise, her reputation would be utterly ruined!!
"Shut your mouth!" Bibi Dong roared with both authority and intimidation. "Qian Renchu, don't think that just because you are my son, you can slander me, distort right and wrong, and act however you please!"
"Hmph! Bibi Dong, when I was young, you tried time and again to kill me. You never once gave me a smile. How are you worthy of being my mother?"
"Not to mention, you killed my father. You stopped being my mother long ago!" Qian Renchu shouted angrily.
He had spoken these words before everyone today precisely to destroy Bibi Dong's reputation,
to let Spirit Hall's elders, consecrated ones, and Soul Masters see the ugly face of this ungrateful wretch, Bibi Dong!!
"You slander me! What evidence do you have?!" Bibi Dong nearly screamed madly.
As she spoke, Soul Power approaching the limit surged wildly from Bibi Dong's body. It was actually even stronger than Tang Hao's power after Ring Detonation!
Qian Renchu sneered and took out a green crystal orb.
Then, he hurled it into the air!
The crystal orb exploded, and images appeared, as though on a Soul Tool screen.
Within the images, Bibi Dong, dressed in sleepwear, approached the heavily wounded Qian Xunji and used her second martial soul to devour him alive!!
That was right. Qian Renchu's master's wife, the Life God King, had found this crystal orb for him, all so that one day, Qian Renchu could seek justice!
"Bibi Dong truly killed His Holiness Qian Xunji! Then I fear she did not obtain the position of Spirit Hall Pope legitimately either!"
"She killed her husband to seize the throne! Beast, beast!"
"I never imagined Bibi Dong was such a vicious woman. I must have been blind to revere her as a spiritual leader!"
"She should be killed! No, she should be sliced into a thousand pieces and chopped into mincemeat!!"
In an instant, everyone in Spirit Hall began talking about Bibi Dong, looking down on her with scorn, disgust, and hatred...
Bibi Dong was dumbfounded.
Completely dumbfounded.
Once, she had been the lofty Pope of Spirit Hall, the spiritual leader of the Soul Master world.
But now, she had to endure the accusations of thousands and the scorn of countless people!
Bibi Dong wanted to argue, wanted to reveal Qian Xunji's sins, but before this crystal orb, every defense was powerless and pale!
The immense sense of disparity filled Bibi Dong's eyes with tears!
Because Qian Renxue was currently disguised as Xue Qinghe, she did not dare cry, but her heart had already shattered.
Hatred—boundless hatred toward Bibi Dong—filled her heart!!
At last, she understood what her grandfather had meant by the debt he owed Bibi Dong.
"Grandfather, Grandfather... you could forgive something like this?"
"You old fool!"
