That woman?
Ye Qingtian fell silent.
Qian Renxue's analysis was not without reason.
The woman currently seated upon the Pope's throne had never been someone to take lightly.
To spend an entire lifetime fighting to unify Douluo Continent, only for it all to end up as a dowry for someone named Jade Big Pig.
There was no shortage of laughable things she had done.
And now...
Not even Jade Big Pig's ashes remained.
If that woman could still hide away peacefully within the Papal Hall, that would be truly abnormal.
With even her hopes gone, she would definitely enter a crazed state.
"No need to worry. Grandpa Tian can casually suppress her for you!"
"It is a pity that your Grandpa Tian went out back then. Otherwise, when you were still young, I could have supported you in taking the Pope's position!"
"In the end, that brat Qian Daoliu was far too timid and hesitant. At such an old age, he still could not even handle a simple matter properly!"
Qian Renxue's face darkened.
The corners of her mouth twitched as she listened to Ye Qingtian.
For a moment, her memories returned to when Bibi Dong had first taken the Pope's seat.
Qian Renxue remembered clearly that she had only been a few years old then, still a child who understood nothing.
"Grandpa Tian, I was only a few years old back then."
"By your reasoning, if you had not gone out and had truly supported me as Pope, would that have been appropriate?"
Qian Renxue muttered softly.
Just imagining that such a thing had really happened back then—
She would have been only a few years old, yet seated upon the Pope's throne.
It was such a strange scene that even thinking of it now made her feel uncomfortable all over.
"Who in Spirit Hall would dare oppose something I approved?"
"Your grandfather lacked the courage to directly suppress everyone, which was why he let that woman take the Pope's position."
"But your Grandpa Tian does not need to care about such things. Even if all the Titled Douluo joined forces, suppressing them would be no more than a matter of lifting a hand!"
Ye Qingtian answered with utter dominance.
They were both Level-99 Titled Douluo, yet there was still an enormous difference between one Level-99 Titled Douluo and another.
Qian Daoliu's Level 99 might have been defeated if Spirit Hall's many Titled Douluo joined forces. Naturally, he could not allow all those Titled Douluo to become estranged and ultimately leave Spirit Hall over such a matter.
But Ye Qingtian's Level 99 was one that could fight one against five, one that had made the five God Kings of the God Realm frown deeply.
Therefore, what Qian Daoliu could not accomplish posed no difficulty whatsoever to him.
Qian Renxue: "..."
"Right, you are Grandpa Tian!"
"Within Spirit Hall, Grandpa Tian, you are the most senior Supreme Consecrated!"
"If you had been there back then, and others had refused after you made your proposal, they probably could only have gone into your Human Emperor Banner to keep being brothers with you, right?"
Knock—
Ye Qingtian unceremoniously rapped Qian Renxue on the head.
"You little girl, have you already learned to tease your Grandpa Tian?" Ye Qingtian said irritably.
Qian Renxue chuckled.
After joking around for a while, she immediately returned to her usual self.
"Grandpa Tian, Xue'er knows you mean well!"
"But regarding this matter, could you agree to let Xue'er find a way to resolve it herself first?"
"Xue'er wants to see whether she will truly come to Heaven Dou City, and exactly what she intends to do!!"
Ye Qingtian tacitly agreed.
Seeing Ye Qingtian's silent assent, a smile bloomed across Qian Renxue's face.
Before the smile could last, Ye Qingtian's voice sounded again. "When the time comes, if she acts recklessly, Grandpa Tian will help you slap her to death!"
Qian Renxue: "..."
Though she did not wish to admit it, Bibi Dong was still her biological mother.
Hearing Ye Qingtian say that, she nearly could not keep herself together.
She silently grumbled to herself but did not dwell on the matter.
At last, an icy gleam flashed through her eyes.
I hope you do not continue making such outrageous mistakes!
Compared to you, Grandpa Tian has always been closer to me!
When Grandpa Tian slaps you to death, I absolutely will not stop him in the slightest!
Spirit City, Spirit Hall.
Regarding what had happened in Heaven Dou City, the Platinum Bishop in charge of the Heaven Dou City Spirit Hall Branch had already dispatched someone to report it with all haste.
Within the current Spirit Hall, the two Titled Douluo, Yue Guan and Gui Mei, could practically be considered Bibi Dong's incarnations.
After the Soul Master from Heaven Dou City reported the matter, he respectfully handed a letter to the two Titled Douluo.
"Elders, this is the intelligence the bishop ordered me to deliver!"
"This matter is of great importance, so please inform His Holiness the Pope as soon as possible and decide how we should proceed!"
The messenger was panting heavily.
After handing over the letter, he collapsed weakly onto the ground.
The relentless journey had nearly drained him dry.
Yue Guan accepted the letter. Though he was a Titled Douluo, he felt that this letter weighed as heavily as a mountain.
Bibi Dong cared greatly about Jade Big Pig's circumstances.
This was no longer a secret within Spirit Hall.
However, Bibi Dong had always claimed that Jade Big Pig was an Honorary Elder of Spirit Hall whom she had personally appointed.
As the current Pope, it was only proper for her to show concern for an elder under her command.
Yue Guan was no fool. He was well aware of what had happened in those years, but he had never exposed it.
The more secrets he knew, the more extraordinary the letter in his hand seemed at this moment.
Exchanging a glance with Gui Mei, neither dared delay. They immediately headed for the Papal Hall.
Inside the Papal Hall.
Bibi Dong sat high upon the Pope's throne.
Seeing Yue Guan and Gui Mei arrive together, she spoke indifferently. "You have suddenly come to see me. Is there some important matter to report?"
At those words,
Yue Guan bowed.
Then, supported by Soul Power, the letter flew toward Bibi Dong.
"Reporting to Your Holiness, intelligence has arrived from Heaven Dou City!"
"The Honorary Elder Your Holiness had previously been concerned about died in Heaven Dou City several days ago."
"The Platinum Bishop of the Heaven Dou City branch did not know how to handle this matter, so he sent the intelligence here and requests that Your Holiness make a decision!"
"However, according to the information, the person who acted against Honorary Elder Yu Xiaogang appears to have been the Supreme Consecrated!"
Yue Guan finished speaking at an extremely rapid pace.
If he spoke too slowly, he feared Bibi Dong would immediately explode, and then he would be in for a world of trouble.
Crack—
Bibi Dong had been lounging lazily upon the Pope's throne.
She held a cup of fragrant tea in her hand, looking exceptionally relaxed.
Yue Guan's words fell.
The teacup shattered with a crisp sound.
Bibi Dong straightened in her seat. "You said an elder of our Spirit Hall died in Heaven Dou City?"
Her voice became incomparably cold.
Bibi Dong did not name anyone directly.
Yet the sight of her raging fury made both Yue Guan and Gui Mei shrink their necks.
They could have accepted it if Bibi Dong truly flew into a rage, but the way she was clearly bottling up a stomach full of anger was what truly made their scalps tingle.
Yue Guan took a deep breath and said, "Reporting to Your Holiness, it is indeed true. The Honorary Elder has died!"
Bibi Dong abruptly rose from her throne.
She could not believe the intelligence she had just heard.
Yu Xiaogang...
Had actually died in Heaven Dou City?
And the person who had acted was actually the Supreme Consecrated?
Bibi Dong drew in a sharp breath, her emotions visibly becoming agitated.
"Pass down my decree. Prepare to depart—"
"Head to Heaven Dou City and investigate this matter!"
