Bibi Dong's Little Scheme: The Advantage Is Mine This Time!

"Phew..."

Gui Mei let out a long breath.

The huge stone hanging over his heart crashed down at last.

The black smoke behind Ye Qingtian—the Human Emperor aura unique to the Human Emperor Banner—was like an executioner's blade hanging above his head.

As long as Ye Qingtian had not withdrawn that imposing aura, he had to remain vigilant for his own safety at every moment.

If Ye Qingtian was truly dissatisfied, he could only resign himself to perishing between heaven and earth.

Having already reached the rank of Titled Douluo, Gui Mei had no desire to die so easily.

"Thankfully, thankfully, Supreme Elder has become angry, but it is still within controllable limits."

"I really cannot take on this kind of miserable task again in the future. Even if I have to face the Grand Consecrated, I absolutely cannot keep facing the Supreme Consecrated!"

Gui Mei thought to himself.

After this incident, he had begun to fear Ye Qingtian from the bottom of his heart.

He had feared Ye Qingtian before as well, but back then, he had only heard of Ye Qingtian's reputation and known that his status was extraordinary.

This time, he was truly frightened. Having personally faced Ye Qingtian's overwhelming presence, that sensation of falling into an ice cellar was something he absolutely never wanted to experience a second time.

"Supreme Consecrated, then this subordinate shall take his leave first. I still need to return and report this matter!"

Ye Qingtian gave a hum, unconcerned with whether Gui Mei returned first or not.

Having received Ye Qingtian's approval, Gui Mei hurriedly turned into an afterimage and vanished.

He had arrived one way, and he left the same way—only even faster now, nearly reaching the peak speed of his life.

Of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing was the best!

If he did not run quickly enough, he might truly be left here forever.

"Girl, we can get moving as well!"

"Let's see just how foolish this woman intends to be this time!"

Ye Qingtian said indifferently.

Billowing black smoke silently spread throughout the room.

As the Human Emperor aura of the Human Emperor Banner suffused the entire chamber.

Everyone inside felt a chilling terror, as though they could not see their own hands before their faces.

A moment later, the black smoke in the room vanished, and Ye Qingtian and Qian Renxue vanished with it.

Heaven Dou City, Spirit Hall branch.

As the imperial capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Spirit Hall branch established here could be considered one of the grandest branches on the continent.

Within the enormous branch hall, Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Heaven Dou City Spirit Hall, had specially prepared a large room for Bibi Dong.

However, Bibi Dong had no intention of resting. Ever since arriving, she had sat in the main hall with an imposing air.

It was as though only by sitting here could she announce to everyone that she was the Pope of Spirit Hall, the one who now held the highest authority within Spirit Hall.

Yue Guan stood there, dutifully playing the role of her lackey.

Soul Power rippled as a ghostly shadow returned. Gui Mei appeared before Yue Guan, his face pale.

"Old Ghost, did Supreme Consecrated agree to come?"

Yue Guan's heart skipped a beat.

Gui Mei looked strange, and a sense of unease rose within him.

What kind of person was Supreme Consecrated Ye Qingtian? No one could restrain his conduct.

Gui Mei's pale face made it look as though Ye Qingtian had refused, then casually turned around and taught Gui Mei a lesson.

"It worked. Supreme Consecrated agreed to come. He should be on his way now."

"Chrysanthemum Pass, next time, this sort of thing is your job. I absolutely will not get involved again. I nearly died."

Gui Mei let out a heavy breath.

Even though some time had passed, lingering fear still gripped his heart.

The sense of crisis from nearly perishing would not leave his mind.

At those words,

Yue Guan's mouth twitched violently.

In an instant, the look he gave Gui Mei became deeply strange.

Well, well, Old Ghost.

I treated you like my closest friend!

You must have suffered a setback this time, so now you want to send me instead?

It's gone! It's gone! Our bond is completely gone!

He furiously complained about Gui Mei in his heart as an icy chill enveloped him.

The Supreme Consecrated truly was extraordinarily domineering!

Yue Guan knew Gui Mei better than anyone else in Spirit Hall.

He had never seen anyone in Spirit Hall frighten Gui Mei to such a state after a single encounter.

Even Bibi Dong, the current Pope, could make Gui Mei fearful, but she had never made him like this!

"Useless!"

Bibi Dong snorted coldly.

Gui Mei's appearance truly displeased her.

In front of her, he was elevating Ye Qingtian's intimidation like this. It was no different from slapping her in the face!

At those words, Yue Guan and Gui Mei both shrank their necks, not daring to say another word to Bibi Dong.

Useless was better than becoming a corpse outright.

Tap, tap, tap—

Footsteps rang out.

Ye Qingtian appeared in the great hall, with Qian Renxue following close behind.

They had not arrived any slower than Gui Mei, reaching this place almost simultaneously.

When Yue Guan and Gui Mei saw Ye Qingtian arrive, they hurriedly bowed to him, then obediently retreated to the side.

Bibi Dong remained seated in her place of honor, displaying her status as she watched Ye Qingtian with a cold expression.

Even though Ye Qingtian held the status of Supreme Consecrated, she had no intention of lowering her head at this moment.

Moreover, seeing Ye Qingtian's indifferent expression was like seeing Yu Xiaogang's miserable death.

In the intelligence sent back to Spirit City, Salas had described Yu Xiaogang being crushed alive in vivid detail.

Although many days had already passed, Bibi Dong still felt as if Yu Xiaogang were being crushed into pulp alive before her eyes at this very moment.

Bibi Dong's expression gradually turned stern. After staring at Ye Qingtian for a while, she spoke calmly:

"Supreme Consecrated, I heard that you acted in Heaven Dou City, and that you acted against members of our Spirit Hall!"

"Yu Xiaogang was an Honorary Consecrated of our Spirit Hall, personally appointed by me and under Spirit Hall's jurisdiction!"

"As the Supreme Consecrated of Spirit Hall, you directly attacked a Hall Elder. You should give an explanation!"

As her words fell,

Bibi Dong straightened her posture somewhat.

It was as if doing so could make her aura more imposing.

Qian Renxue looked at Bibi Dong with undisguised disgust. She knew Bibi Dong would certainly make a huge issue over Yu Xiaogang.

However, she had not expected Bibi Dong to stop even pretending. She used to conceal it somewhat, but now she had truly revealed her dagger.

Yu Xiaogang was merely an Honorary Elder. If Ye Qingtian, as Supreme Consecrated, had killed him, then he had killed him.

Demand an explanation?

What a joke!!

Bibi Dong selectively ignored Qian Renxue's disgust.

Her attention was entirely focused on Ye Qingtian.

The only thing in her cold gaze was an unyielding forcefulness.

In the past, she had no opportunity to hold Ye Qingtian accountable because of his status as Supreme Consecrated.

But this time was different. The matter involved Yu Xiaogang. Acting directly against an Honorary Elder could barely be considered leverage.

Bibi Dong did not want to let such leverage slip away. Taking this opportunity, she had already made up her mind to make a major issue of it.

An Honorary Elder was still an Elder.

Ye Qingtian had acted without cause, which meant he had violated Spirit Hall's rules!

As long as she made Ye Qingtian give an explanation, she could completely overwhelm him in terms of momentum.

If she could not suppress him with strength, then she would first gain the advantage in presence.

Once the advantage was established, everything that followed would be much easier to handle.

Bibi Dong remained silent, snorting coldly in her heart. Ye Qingtian, let's see how you intend to explain yourself this time.

The advantage in this situation lies entirely with me!

Just as Bibi Dong ignored Qian Renxue.

Ye Qingtian treated Bibi Dong like air. He walked over and sat in the first seat on the left.

Yue Guan was quick to read the situation and immediately served him tea.

Ye Qingtian lifted the fragrant tea and took a sip, muttering to himself:

"Demanding an explanation is merely a pretense. What you truly want is for me to give you, Bibi Dong, an account!"

"You want me to give you an account? Bibi Dong, do you think you are worthy?!"
