Chapter 271

Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong was restless, her hand stroking the water glass that Gangzi had held earlier. Feeling nostalgic, she pinched her forehead and gestured for Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo below to speak, "Has anything happened on the mainland recently?"

"You can't hide it from His Holiness the Pope; something has indeed happened..."

Ghost Douluo smiled bitterly and said, "The Dragon God has appeared."

"Dragon God?"

Bibi Dong's expression remained unchanged. "So what if you've appeared? Look at your pathetic state, you're truly a disgrace to the Spirit Hall..."

"But Pope Holiness, if... if he investigates the matter concerning Miss, how should we respond?" Chrysanthemum Douluo recalled the terrifying memory of being punched to the ground by that figure and unable to get up, and his already fair face turned even paler.

"Hmph, answer? What's the point of answering him?"

Bibi Dong snorted coldly, "I am Xiao Xue's mother, and I am responsible for everything. What right does he have to tell me what to do?"

"Besides, I am now the Hall Master of the Spirit Hall, and my cultivation has broken through to Level 96. With Twin Martial Souls, I can even fight Qian Daoliu to a draw. Even if he comes... I am no longer the weak girl who could be bullied at will."

"This..." Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

Back then, His Holiness the Pope was terrified of the Dragon God, but now... is he truly no longer afraid?

However, after being given a shot of adrenaline, their expressions softened considerably. They figured the taller one would hold up the sky if it fell; with the Pope there and the adjacent Worship Hall, surely he wouldn't make things difficult for them?

Bibi Dong, having dismissed the two, sat on the high platform, but could no longer hide her fear. Her hand holding the scepter trembled uncontrollably, and her whole body shook. No one knew how terrified she was of that figure.

When she was picked up at the age of six, the first time she saw that figure was Qian Xunji's best friend. At that time, the two of them were already successful and powerful figures at the Titled Douluo level. When she looked at that figure, she only felt fear of power.

It wasn't until Qian Xunji died, and she gradually lost herself, that the oppressive aura of that figure brought her back to her original form.

Her talent was exceptional, and her cultivation progressed at an extremely rapid pace. After devouring Qian Xunji, she had already advanced to the Soul Douluo realm. At that time, she could even fight against ordinary Titled Douluo. However, when she encountered that figure, the mere pressure of his aura made her suffocate in an instant.

At that moment, she truly understood what it meant to be Dragon God.

What's even more terrifying is that he seems to know all the secrets and sordid things from back then, yet for some reason, he didn't harm himself or avenge Qian Xunji.

However, his presence means that the truth of the matter is very likely to come to light, completely shattering her position as Pope. With him around, she will be unable to carry out her grand plan Destruction Destruction the continent and the Spirit Hall.

Fortunately, that guy finally disappeared over the years.

Whether he was dead or not, at first she was just testing the waters, wantonly kneading Qian Renxue, but later, seeing that the guy seemed to be really missing, she began to act recklessly...

Even today.

"No, I have to hurry." Bibi Dong's throat bobbed, she stood up in a panic, and fled towards the Spirit City, almost bursting out with full speed.

But they have not yet left the city.

Then she spotted a blonde figure not far from her.

Looking down at her from above.

A pair of golden eyes swept over her with arrogant disdain, and she coldly said, "Bibi Dong... where do you think you're going?!"

"I, I..." Bibi Dong's pupils suddenly contracted, and her whole body trembled.

That familiar figure was indeed the one who was once famous throughout the continent.

Lu Cheng's aura was completely undisguised, and it spread throughout the entire Spirit City in an instant. Countless people turned their gazes towards him, and even Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, who hadn't gone far, rushed over in an instant. Upon seeing Lu Cheng's figure, he immediately sensed that something was terribly wrong.

As expected, they came for Qian Renxue...

"Dragon God, is there some misunderstanding...?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked, forcing himself to speak.

"Misunderstand?"

Lu Cheng uttered two words Youyou.

The pressure immediately turned the group of people pale, and they dared not utter a word.

Lu Cheng looked calmly at Bibi Dong, his tone light, but the message it conveyed was no less powerful than a tsunami. "You killed Xunji. It was a grudge between you and him. He was wrong in this ill-fated relationship, he deserved to die, and I won't comment on that. But in any case, you shouldn't have involved Xiao Xue in this matter..."

Ju, Gui, and other elders of the Spirit Hall suddenly raised their heads, their faces filled with terror. They looked at Lu Cheng, then at Bibi Dong, their hearts churning with shock.

Qian Xunji actually died at the hands of the current Hall Master of the Spirit Hall?!

This news is absolutely explosive...

However, it is clear that the previous temple master also made mistakes; otherwise, given the Dragon God's temperament, Bibi Dong would probably have been lying dead in the wilderness the next day.

"..."

Bibi Dong lowered her eyelids and only uttered, "She is my daughter, my own flesh and blood. How could I do anything that is none of the business of outsiders... Pfft!"

But before she could finish speaking, she suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

His body flew backward, crashing directly onto a Spirit Hall building. Cracks appeared all over his body, and a large swelling appeared on his face, making him look miserable and angry.

The other elders of the Spirit Hall shuddered, but all shrank back, not daring to speak up to help even though their Pope had been beaten.

If you beat up the Pope, you can't beat up us, okay...?

"You shameless woman, how dare you say such a thing?"

Lu Cheng spoke calmly, his tone as usual.

"To give birth and not raise a child is to have failed as a parent."

"In your eyes, Xiao Xue is nothing more than a tool, or rather... a disgrace bearing his mark..."

Lu Cheng mercilessly exposed the deepest pain in her heart.

But he continued, "And..."

"If that were all, I probably wouldn't have stripped you of your position Pope of the Spirit Hall. You promoted Yu Xiaogang's reputation by leveraging the power of the Spirit Hall, didn't you?"

"You take the resources of the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall and enjoy the benefits it brings, yet you're flirting with a notorious good-for-nothing on the continent, and you're completely devoted to him! How can you be such an utterly foolish woman!"

Upon realizing this, even Lu Cheng, who was usually composed and reserved, couldn't maintain his composure and pointed at Bibi Dong's nose, angrily cursing.

"Giving that useless Spirit Hall Elder Token and inviting him to join the Spirit Hall, did you never consider how much Qian Xunji despises that beast?"

"If you two are going to have an affair, you should just abandon the power and status of the Spirit Hall and become lovers. Instead, you cling tightly to the power of the Spirit Hall and try to collude with that good-for-nothing. You're truly acting like a prostitute while trying to maintain a virtuous image."

This scathing rebuke left Bibi Dong completely stunned.

This also allowed onlookers to freely enjoy the spectacle.

Many people had a look of sudden realization on their faces. No wonder only the Spirit Hall respected the Grandmaster so much; it turned out the Pope liked that blond guy...
