Bibi Dong's Shock

His dispatch of Qian Renxue to the Heaven Dou Empire had been top secret. Other than Spirit Hall's upper ranks and Pope Bibi Dong, not a single person knew of it.

Qian Renchu was not in Spirit Hall, so how did he know about this?!

"Chu, did your master tell you?"

"It seemed he truly was no ordinary man."

"Indeed. How could someone capable of training a twenty-three-year-old Ultimate Douluo be an ordinary man?"

Qian Daoliu frowned slightly and gave a faint, self-deprecating smile.

Qian Renchu knew all this, of course, because he was a transmigrator.

But Qian Renchu could not reveal that secret, so he continued,

"Xue possesses the Six-Winged Angel martial soul and Innate Full Soul Power at level twenty."

"With talent like that, you actually let her undertake something so dangerous?"

Qian Renchu respected Qian Daoliu greatly,

but whenever he thought of Qian Renxue—his younger sister, Spirit Hall's young mistress, a favored daughter of heaven—being reduced to Xue Qinghe's maid, serving others tea and water,

spending every day in a treacherous den like the Heaven Dou Empire, living in constant fear,

Qian Renchu's heart burned with fury—overwhelming fury!

"Chu, listen to Grandpa's explanation."

"Xue was not personally chosen by Grandpa to go to the Heaven Dou Empire. She wanted to prove herself before her mother. Back then, Grandpa strongly opposed it as well!" Qian Daoliu said helplessly and painfully.

"Grandpa, that woman is not my mother!" Qian Renchu said with an icy gaze. "Nor is she Xue's mother!"

"What kind of mother has never shown her children even the slightest care?"

"What kind of mother could bear to watch her daughter enter such a deadly place?"

"When I was just born, she tried every possible way to kill Xue and me. Does a woman like that deserve to be called a mother?"

Qian Renchu spoke with resounding conviction.

"Also, Grandpa, you should know that she killed Father, devoured Father's body, and opened the Rakshasa Secret Realm. She is a vicious, evil woman!" Qian Renchu continued through gritted teeth.

"Why did you still allow her to sit upon the throne of Spirit Hall's Pope?!"

"I..." Qian Daoliu broke out in a cold sweat and was instantly rendered speechless.

Was Qian Daoliu selfish?

Qian Daoliu was selfish, but his selfishness was not for himself.

Everything he did was for Spirit Hall.

And it was precisely because Spirit Hall was the only thing in his heart that his own family had met such tragic ends, one after another!

"If you won't say it, then I'll say it for you!"

"Because she can lead Spirit Hall farther, isn't that right?" Qian Renchu said with a cold laugh.

"But from today onward, I am back! I possess greater talent, strength, and methods than Bibi Dong! From today onward, this Spirit Hall no longer needs Bibi Dong!"

Because of the unforeseen change involving the Destruction God King, Qian Renchu had failed to alter the past order of things. Then he would alter the future order!

Bibi Dong had killed his father and repeatedly tried to put Qian Renxue and him to death!

If giving birth without raising them could be repaid by severing a finger!

Qian Renchu's first priority upon returning to Spirit Hall was to remove Bibi Dong from office!

Qian Daoliu's body trembled violently.

Excitement and fear intertwined in his heart.

He was excited because Qian Renchu had returned, returning with supreme bearing.

Qian Renchu had seen through what he truly wanted.

How could he not have wanted to remove Bibi Dong and avenge his son? Back then, with just one word from him, Bibi Dong would have been expelled from Spirit Hall.

But Bibi Dong possessed Twin Martial Souls, heaven-defying talent, and great vision. Qian Daoliu had cherished her talent!

Yet fear also filled Qian Daoliu's heart.

Qian Renchu's intentions were clear: he intended to tear away all pretense with Bibi Dong. As the inheritor and representative of the Angel God,

fairness and justice lay deepest within Qian Daoliu's heart.

How could he stand by and watch Qian Renchu kill his own mother, Bibi Dong?!

Thus, Qian Daoliu hurriedly stopped him. "Chu, no matter what, she is your mother. You may remove her from office or exile her, but you must never take her life!"

"That will depend on whether she feels any remorse in her heart!" Qian Renchu said as he walked out of Douluo Hall.

"Chu, where are you going?" Qian Daoliu asked in surprise.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I have a better opportunity to kill her."

A chilling killing intent appeared in Qian Renchu's eyes.

He had already decided that, for someone like Bibi Dong, he would expose her ugly face before everyone!

Wasn't the Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament Finals a rare opportunity?

Qian Renchu would make Bibi Dong utterly disgraced!

"Xue is in Spirit City. How could I not go see her at once?" Qian Renchu's tone then softened gently.

Seventeen years had passed without seeing his younger sister.

How could Qian Renchu not miss that little tagalong who had always followed behind him?!

At this moment.

Spirit Hall, Pope Hall.

A woman in her fifties, dressed in a purple-gold robe, wearing the Nine-Curved Purple-Gold Crown, holding a scepter, and possessing a tall figure, sat upon the throne.

Though she was already in her fifties, her skin was as supple as a young girl's, and her figure had not changed in the slightest.

Instead, as Spirit Hall's Pope for many years, she carried an aloof, chilling presence that kept others at a distance.

She was Bibi Dong!

"Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, why have the two of you come to find me in the middle of the night?" Bibi Dong asked coldly, crossing her legs as she looked at the two elders below.

"Your Holiness, Pope, there is something we must tell you..." Chrysanthemum Douluo said, fear visible on his face.

"Oh? What is it?" Bibi Dong asked icily.

"Old Ghost, you should say it!" Chrysanthemum Douluo said, looking toward Ghost Douluo with a slight tremble.

"I..." Ghost Douluo found it difficult to speak as well...

"Do not stammer before me and waste my time!" Bibi Dong snapped coldly.

"Yes!"

"Reporting to Your Holiness, Pope!"

"Young Master Qian Renchu has returned!!" Ghost Douluo finally said, gathering his courage.

"What? That bastard who was sucked into a black hole while awakening his martial soul?!" Bibi Dong mocked coldly.

"I never expected him to return alive!"

"But so what if he has returned? He is merely a bastard. It changes nothing!"

If Bibi Dong had once been wary of Qian Renchu and Qian Renxue, she had now controlled Spirit Hall for more than a decade.

Her strength had nearly reached the peak of Soul Power.

Even Qian Daoliu could do nothing to her. Would she fear some insignificant bastard like Qian Renchu?!

But Ghost Douluo's next words made her face drain of color. "Your Holiness, Pope, you may not know this, but Young Master Qian Renchu is already an Ultimate Douluo!"

"What did you say?!" Bibi Dong's expression changed drastically, and she even roared, "A twenty-three-year-old Ultimate Douluo? Ghost, did a donkey kick you in the head? How dare you joke with me like this!"

Impossible!

How could there possibly be a twenty-three-year-old Ultimate Douluo in this world?

Even with my Twin Super Martial Souls, I was only a Soul King at twenty-three!

A twenty-three-year-old Ultimate Douluo was simply absurd!
