The Spirit Hall's Deepening Undercurrents
Soon, news spread throughout the continent that Chrysanthemum Douluo had led his team to destroy the Spirit Hall Branch in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Spirit Hall also proudly announced that they had once again breached a massive stronghold of an Evil Spirit Master!
Although the Spirit Hall promoted it very strongly, the matter never really caused a big stir on the continent, and many people didn't care about it at all.
Logically speaking, as a renowned elder of the Spirit Hall, leading a team to eliminate a Spirit Hall Branch that colluded with Evil Spirit Master should be a story that appears to be very impartial and worthy of praise.
Furthermore, even the Pope, who issued the order this time, should have gained even more support and love from the masses, given her impartial and incorruptible nature.
Ironically, the public's attitude was exactly the opposite of what was originally expected.
With the destruction of the Spirit Hall Branch.
Not only did everyone on the continent not change their opinion of the Spirit Hall, but their disgust for the Spirit Hall even rose to a new level!
Even now, many branch hall masters of the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City, upon learning of this matter, still resorted to insults and mockery towards Pope Bibi Dong!
The authority of Pope Bibi Dong in their hearts had been reduced to freezing point!
As fellow branch hall masters, they naturally knew who Wang Xing was.
They also know what Wang Xing's character and his family descendants are like.
Those who become Spirit Hall Branch, while not necessarily able to dominate the continent, at least can go wherever they want without anyone daring to stop them!
Because you are not only a Soul Saint, but also the owner of Spirit Hall Branch.
Why would someone like that need to collude with Evil Spirit Master, who are universally hated on the mainland?!
This isn't during the Peerless Tang Sect era.
What normal person would do that?!
Anyone who's lost their mind knows what to do.
What's even more outrageous is that everyone in the entire Star Dou Great Forest branch hall is connected to Evil Spirit Master.
Who would believe such a thing?!
An entire branch hall is connected to Evil Spirit Master, how could they have managed to hide under the very nose of the Spirit Hall for so long?!
You have to understand, that's in the Star Dou Great Forest. Even the people from the Spirit Hall have to hunt Soul Beast.
Didn't they notice anything at all?
Therefore, although at first glance, this matter seems to make Bibi Dong appear very wise, powerful, and impartial.
However, upon closer inspection, no matter what the explanation is, there is no valid reason to support it.
All of this seems more like Bibi Dong destroying a branch hall and wiping out everyone in it because of her own selfish desires.
After this incident, the entire continent appeared outwardly calm and undisturbed.
However, beneath the surface, various undercurrents were already swirling, and all parties were rapidly calculating their intentions.
Soon, as time passed, this undercurrent began to tentatively surface.
The most obvious wave was undoubtedly within the Heaven Dou Empire.
That stands within the Spirit Temple in Heaven Dou City.
Red Bishop Salas was the first to notice the changes.
To date, he has received two letters from elders, five letters from Red Bishop, and ten letters from black cardinals.
The people who sent the letters were all neutral members of the Spirit Hall. Although they supported the Pope's work, they were not as loyal as Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo.
It's a position where you can either do something or fish and relax when you're not busy.
Although the contents of the letters they sent to the Heaven Dou Empire were different, upon closer reading...
The meanings they convey are all largely the same.
That is, they want to switch allegiance to Qian Renxue's sect.
Yes, this group of neutral parties, who had always been neutral and unwilling to get involved in the struggle between the Saintess and the Pope, and who were only willing to be loyal to the Pope's Palace, have now begun to slowly turn their allegiance towards Qian Renxue.
The reason for their defection is quite simple.
That is, Qian Renxue's surname is Qian.
Her grandfather was the previous Pope, Qian Daoliu.
They also believed in the Qian Daoliu.
After all, Qian Daoliu is currently inside the Spirit Hall's Worship Hall.
Compared to Bibi Dong is now gradually going mad and leading the Spirit Hall step by step into the abyss.
They were more inclined to believe in the Qian Daoliu lineage, which possessed the Holy Angel Spirit.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo, have you finished collecting the list I asked you to gather last time?"
Inside the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong was handling official business when she asked Chrysanthemum Douluo a question.
"Your His Holiness the Pope, we have collected them all."
"Now that we've collected everything, what are we waiting for? Let's go, just like last time."
Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression changed slightly, and he tentatively spoke.
"Your His Holiness the Pope, they are the backbone of our Spirit Hall. Is this really how it should be? If this gets out, the morale of the people in the Spirit Hall may collapse."
"Damn it! What pillars of strength? It's because of their soft hearts that our Spirit Hall's reputation is ruined today. If we don't kill them, how can we cleanse the Spirit Hall of this corrupt practice?! Chrysanthemum Douluo, why are you so obstructing us? Could it be that you share their thoughts?"
Bibi Dong roared angrily.
They knew Xiao Gang's true colors, so they absolutely could not be allowed to live; they had to die.
"No, no, Your His Holiness the Pope, that's not what I meant. I meant I'll go right now."
After saying that, Chrysanthemum Douluo left the Pope's Palace with a slightly pale face.
They headed outside.
"This day has finally come."
Chrysanthemum Douluo murmured to himself.
As Chrysanthemum Douluo left, Bibi Dong's mournful voice slowly began to rise.
"Xiao Gang, why can't anyone in this world see how outstanding you are?! But whatever, it doesn't matter if they don't understand, as long as I do. And I'll wipe out all those who don't understand and are jealous of you."
The thought of her Xiao Gang brought a touch of tenderness to Bibi Dong's usually cold and murderous eyes.
A hint of tenderness rose within his heart, which was filled with icy killing intent, and he murmured.
"Xiao Gang, I miss you so much. How are you doing?"
——
"Oh!! Okay, okay, okay!!! Keep going, keep going!!!"
Yu Xiaogang looked at the gambling table in front of him, his face full of excitement as he hugged the Slaughter Maid, and then began to place his bets!
"Three, three, four, small!!!"
"Congratulations to the Slaughter Gambling God on his victory once again!!!"
The dealer pushed a huge bucket of Bloody Mary directly to Yu Xiaogang!
Yu Xiaogang, with a smug look on his face, scooped up a cup and drank it down in big gulps.
Crimson blood dripped from the corner of his mouth onto his body.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang looked like a blood-soaked god of war.
