Tearing Off the Mask? Bibi Dong Takes Action

Ye Qingtian's strength had been witnessed by Bibi Dong in full.

She had also watched how Yue Guan and Gui Mei, those veteran Titled Douluo who had accompanied each other for years, met their end beneath the Human Emperor Banner.

The Bipolar Stillness Domain, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Yue Guan and Gui Mei, was a formidable ability capable of freezing even space itself.

As everyone knew, Martial Soul Fusion Skills were never weak. Their effect could make one plus one greater than two.

Yet in the end, they had not even lasted a single breath before Ye Qingtian.

Without the slightest ability to resist, they shattered just like that, and the two Titled Douluo perished one after another.

Wherever the black smoke passed, not a blade of grass remained. Yue Guan and Gui Mei had vanished without a trace as well.

Such a miserable outcome, as though they had never existed beneath heaven and earth, left no room for her to let down her guard.

At this moment, Ye Qingtian had clearly set his sights on her.

Bibi Dong did not dare relax. Her vicious gaze remained fixed on Ye Qingtian.

The more she looked at Ye Qingtian's domineering bearing, the greater the dread in her heart.

"Ye Qingtian... I thought all these years of peaceful living had worn down his edge, just like that old bastard Qian Daoliu."

"I never expected him to still be that madman with endless slaughter staining his hands. If he did not act, so be it, but once he did, it was earth-shattering!"

"But of all things, he chose to make such a commotion over my affairs. Is he trying to use this to intimidate me?"

Bibi Dong thought to herself.

The more she considered it, the more unbalanced she felt.

According to the previous intelligence, Sword Douluo had taken the initiative to challenge him, and all she had learned was that Ye Qingtian had not even summoned his Martial Soul.

Against trash like Yue Guan and Gui Mei, if Sword Douluo had truly gone all out, he could have ground those two beneath his feet.

Yet when facing Sword Douluo, who could have crushed Yue Guan and Gui Mei with ease, Ye Qingtian had not even bothered to summon his Martial Soul.

Only when Yue Guan and Gui Mei made their move had he forcefully summoned his Martial Soul and even brought out the Human Emperor Banner. The meaning behind that could not have been clearer!

"No! I am the current Pope!"

"Since Ye Qingtian wants to intimidate me, I absolutely cannot let him have his way!"

"At the very least, I cannot let him intimidate me so smoothly!"

Having made up her mind,

Bibi Dong took a deep breath and shot Qian Renxue a resentful glance.

She rose into the air and appeared above the Heaven Dou City Martial Soul Branch Hall in the next instant.

Layer upon layer of frost covered her cold, stunning face.

At this moment, she looked utterly unapproachable.

Anyone who entered the range of her aura would inevitably be attacked.

Their final outcome would be death on the spot.

"Since Human Emperor Douluo does not agree to my proposal, I can withdraw now!"

"However, our Spirit Hall will not abandon the matter of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Human Emperor Douluo, you may continue considering this matter!"

"This is the concession I am making. If Human Emperor Douluo still intends to press the issue and attack me, then Human Emperor Douluo had best think carefully!"

"Does your Heaven Dou Empire truly intend to wage all-out war against our Spirit Hall?"

Bibi Dong took a deep breath and spoke those words in a ruthless voice.

She was deeply unwilling, yet her words did not reveal too much.

Just like Yue Guan and Gui Mei earlier, she did not dare directly expose Ye Qingtian's identity as the Supreme Consecrated of Spirit Hall.

Although unwilling, when she mentioned these matters, she deliberately looked once more toward the Heaven Dou City Martial Soul Branch Hall.

Ye Qingtian examined Bibi Dong indifferently, his ears filled with her seemingly conciliatory words that were actually a tactic of advancing by retreating.

Trying such tricks before him only made Bibi Dong seem laughable.

"Grandpa Tian, give me one chance!"

"This woman has already gone completely mad!"

"Give me one chance. I want to crush her beneath my feet openly and thoroughly!"

"There is no Spirit Hall in this woman's eyes at all. I cannot let her remain so arrogant!"

At that moment, Qian Renxue's Soul Power transmission suddenly reached him.

As she sent those words, Qian Renxue glared furiously at Bibi Dong in midair.

She had once retained a sliver of hope for Bibi Dong, but after everything that had happened, every last one of those hopes had been shattered.

Now, she only wanted to crush Bibi Dong beneath her feet and tell her—

She, Qian Renxue, was the true legitimate heir of Spirit Hall!!

"Girl, are you sure you want to do this?"

Ye Qingtian sighed softly. "With Grandpa Tian here, you do not need to exhaust yourself fighting like this!"

Qian Renxue remained stubborn. "Grandpa Tian, she has said plenty of cutting words to me before. I want to prove myself!"

"In your own words from before, this is something one must go through to become strong. Only by enduring hardships can one become truly strong!"

Ye Qingtian fell silent for a moment, then tacitly approved Qian Renxue's request.

In any case, as long as he was here, Bibi Dong could never stir up any trouble.

Letting Qian Renxue use her as practice and gain some experience was not a bad idea.

Bibi Dong let out a long breath of relief.

After realizing that Ye Qingtian had no intention of acting,

Her tense emotions eased slightly.

For that brief instant, she truly had feared that Ye Qingtian would tear off all pretense.

If he truly did, she was certain her fate would not be any better than Yue Guan and Gui Mei's.

She might even end up like them, with her soul imprisoned within the Human Emperor Banner, continuing to serve as the "Pope" she valued so highly within it!

Fortunately, this man has retained some rationality. Though not much of his edge has been worn away, at least part of it has.

He actually gave up on attacking me just because of Qian Renxue's request. Sooner or later, he will become just like that old bastard Qian Daoliu.

When that day comes, I will be the one and only king of Spirit Hall. They will no longer be able to pose any threat to me!

Now, I have won another round!

Bibi Dong breathed a long sigh in her heart and completely cast aside all vigilance.

Having confirmed that Ye Qingtian would not continue attacking, Bibi Dong felt as though the skies had cleared, the rain had stopped, and she was formidable once more.

Qian Daoliu had once been incomparably sharp as well, the Judgment Elder of Spirit Hall, yet now his edge had been worn away, and he obediently served as the Grand Consecrated.

Ye Qingtian had even greater seniority, but time was always a merciless butcher's blade. Bibi Dong believed she could certainly outlast him.

The day she emerged would be the day she settled every score.

As she silently calculated all this, Bibi Dong prepared to descend from the air and return to the Martial Soul Branch Hall.

The matter had calmed down. It was not too humiliating, but she had still lost face.

She did not want to remain in the air and be watched by so many people. The sooner this embarrassing spectacle ended, the better.

Just as her body moved in midair, Ye Qingtian's voice rang out once more. "Death may be spared, but punishment cannot be escaped!"

"You came looking for trouble with me. This matter cannot end so easily!"

As his words fell,

Ye Qingtian did not wave the Human Emperor Banner.

Though he did not wave it, from the tip of the Human Emperor Banner's long pole,

A beam of black light, so deep it seemed to shine, shot forth.

Bibi Dong abruptly snapped awake and stared at the beam of black light shooting from the Human Emperor Banner.

Her face became incomparably ugly, incomparably twisted, as a sense of danger surged from that black beam.

Ye Qingtian, I will never rest until one of us is dead!!
