Just as Qian Xunji was about to make a move, Ning Fengzhi frowned. Sword Douluo Chen Xin beside him was about to intervene, but was stopped by two Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall.
" Sect Master Ning, please have some self-respect! Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is one of the three major sects, it doesn't want to be enemies with the Spirit Hall, does it?" a Titled Douluo said sinisterly.
Ning Fengzhi's expression changed. As the leader of a sect, he couldn't act so impulsively, after all, he was carrying the lives of countless people in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School on his shoulders! Besides Sword Douluo, another Title Douluo present also made a move, namely Poison Douluo Dugu Bo. Compared to Ning Fengzhi, he didn't have so many concerns and was about to use his poison skills to help Qi Ling.
But just as Dugu Bo was about to set off, a cold snort rang in his ears like a thunderclap; it was Qian Xunji's warning to him.
With that cold snort, a Titled Douluo dressed in a red robe appeared before him, and the powerful fluctuations of his Soul Power made Dugu Bo's expression turn ugly.
Seeing that everyone present who could help Qi Ling was being controlled by Qian Xunji, the Golden Iron Triangle was powerless to do anything about it, as their Martial Soul Fusion Skill was completely useless.
Seeing that the situation was completely under his control, Qian Xunji walked towards Qi Ling with a cold smile, "Your name is Qi Ling? Very well, I have witnessed your strength, and you are indeed worthy of being called the greatest genius in history!"
"So if you step aside now and join my Divine Court, I will spare your life and even guarantee you a bright future. Do you agree?"
Qi Ling sneered and said, "Stop with the nonsense, I'll f*** your ass!"
Qian Xunji was furious. This was the first time in all these years that someone had dared to insult him like that. He snorted coldly, casually drew his Angel Sword, and slashed down at Qi Ling with immense power.
Attacks of this level are so powerful that even if others wanted to help, they would be powerless to stop them. Even Qi Ling could only sigh, "It seems I'm going to die here today. Not bad, it's been quite an exciting day."
The only regret is that I'm still a virgin. Sigh, I should have known better than to be less self-disciplined. I had so many opportunities, but I didn't cherish them.
As Qian Xunji's sword fell, the Shrek Seven Devils let out heart-wrenching screams, while the others stared in shock, as if witnessing the fall of a peerless genius.
But after Qian Xunji's sword had fallen halfway, it could not advance any further, because someone was blocking his way.
Indeed, among those present, apart from the Spirit Hall members, no one else had the ability to stop Qian Xunji. But what if it were someone from the Spirit Hall?
Bibi Dong, wielding a scepter, appeared before Qi Ling without anyone noticing. The gems on the scepter shone brightly, blocking Qian Xunji's sword.
No one expected that Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, would actually step forward and block the sword of Qian Xunji, the former Pope of the Spirit Hall.
" Bibi Dong, do you know what you're doing?!" Qian Xunji said furiously. "Don't think that just because I've been lenient with you, you can act with impunity. If you anger me, I'll kill you and me alike!"
Bibi Dong Lingling replied, " Qian Xunji, no matter what your reasons are, killing someone in front of the Pope's Palace shows you have no respect for the Spirit Hall!"
Qian Xunji sneered and said, " Bibi Dong, the Spirit Hall is nothing more than a toy I gave you as compensation. You actually take it seriously?"
"Even if the Spirit Hall has so many Soul Master, what's the use? This world is all about strength. Your pipe dream of equality among all Soul Master, of everyone starting from the same point, should have ended long ago!"
Bibi Dong's face turned cold, and she said, " Qian Xunji, you are no longer the Pope, yet you slander my Spirit Hall like this; your intentions are clearly despicable!"
"Providing all Soul Master with a fair training environment and breaking down all unequal treaties has always been the goal of the Spirit Hall. How dare you slander us like this!"
"Furthermore, as the Pope, I absolutely forbid you from harming these contestants. Otherwise, where would the Spirit Hall's reputation be?!"
Qian Xunji said in disbelief, " Bibi Dong, are you crazy? You're protecting a Soul Beast!"
"I... I'm not protecting him, but this contestant named Qi Ling!" Bibi Dong said righteously, "He is the champion of the Soul Master Tournament held by my Spirit Hall, how can I let him die here! Where is the dignity of the Spirit Hall!"
"You! Bibi Dong, it seems you're really courting death!" Qian Xunji said, "If you don't move aside, I won't be polite!"
"Hmph, if you want to make a move, then make a move! Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Bibi Dong said without backing down an inch.
Now it was Qian Xunji's turn to Qian Xunji. His strength was Bibi Dong's, and for some reason, Bibi Dong's strength was even greater than his.
If he were to take action and fail to subdue Bibi Dong immediately, not only would he become a laughingstock, but the situation could also escalate unexpectedly. Therefore, he had to devise a foolproof plan.
"Hmph! Bibi Dong, you forced me to do this! Elder Ju, Ghost Elder!" Qian Xunji shouted loudly.
At Qian Xunji's voice, two Titled Douluo dressed in cloaks arrived and respectfully asked, " Divine Lord, what are your orders?"
"You two, hold her off! I'll be done here!" Qian Xunji said. "I'll be quick here, so don't worry."
"Yes, Divine Lord!" the two replied, then removed their hoods, revealing themselves to be elders of the Spirit Hall, Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
After the three of them joined forces to force Bibi Dong back, Qian Xunji abandoned them and walked towards Qi Ling and Xiao Wu.
Bibi Dong was trapped by the two men, but dared not act rashly, because the two men possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill that could completely restrict the opponent's movements. Once hit by this technique, she would be unable to make any moves.
If things remain as they are, she can still think of other solutions. But if those two use that move, everything will be over! So for a time, Bibi Dong and the two were locked in a stalemate.
"Hmph! You're lucky you've been given a little more time to live!" Qian Xunji said as he walked towards Qi Ling and Xiao Wu. "But this time, no one will come to save you!"
"Hmph, who knows? Those who follow the righteous path receive much help, while those who stray from it receive little. Perhaps someone will lend a hand and rescue us," Qi Ling said with a smile.
"Hahaha, stop joking. Besides that woman, who else here has the ability to stop me?" Qian Xunji laughed. "If anyone can actually rescue you all, I, Qian Xunji, will change my name!"
"From now on, should we call you Mr. Ji Xunqian? Hehe!" A melodious voice suddenly rang out from behind Qian Xunji.
