Chapter 22: Resurrection from the Dead, Bibi Dong Splits the Spirit Hall!
Golden soul power gathered behind him, forming an angelic image. Then, with a single gesture, Qian Daoliu summoned a longsword burning with golden soul power, which he then grasped in his hand.
Because the Papal Palace enshrines angels, this sharp aura did not dissipate into the Papal Palace.
Not a single brick or tile inside was damaged.
However, Bibi Dong, facing Qian Daoliu's sharp edge, was clearly not in a good state at the moment.
"As expected of the High Priest of the Angel God, although he has no possibility of becoming a god and can only stay at the Limit Douluo level for his entire life, his power is indeed not to be underestimated."
But... that's all!
Because of the Rakshasa God's test, although Bibi Dong's soul power cultivation had long since reached level 99, the strength she could exert at this moment was at most level 98.
With such cultivation, trying to withstand Qian Daoliu at full power is nothing short of a pipe dream.
Moreover, Bibi Dong did not want to give up the Rakshasa God Test.
Fortunately, Qian Daoliu's words were too confident, and I do have a way to break the deadlock.
The golden giant sword that pierced through the heavens and earth pressed down. To the astonishment of Ghost Leopard and the others, Bibi Dongfei did not use her soul power to resist, but instead faced it head-on.
"Sizzle~"
The scorching golden light tore down, and in an instant, Bibi Dong's flesh and blood were vaporized on the spot.
"Your Holiness the Pope!" Ghost Leopard exclaimed in surprise.
As for Xiong Mo Douluo, upon seeing this scene, a smile appeared on his lips.
His earlier guess was indeed correct; Bibi Dong was no match for the Grand Elder.
Since I've already decided to switch jobs, this actually makes things easier.
"Because of the Heavenly Dao Golden List, my soul power cultivation has now reached level 96, which meets the minimum standard for entering the Hall of Offerings. At most, I am only lacking in qualifications."
When Bibi Dong was alive, her desire to join the High Priest's faction would inevitably be seen as a betrayal of her master.
But now…
What Xiong Mo Douluo was thinking was self-evident.
The man is already dead, how can you possibly restrain him?
On the contrary, Yue Guan and Gui Mei originally decided to betray the Spirit Hall and join the rising Qingyun Sect.
They had already made their plans, but after witnessing Qian Daoliu's combat power firsthand, even the two generals, Heng and Ha, couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"If Qian Daoliu doesn't mind such cultivation level, then so be it."
But if we're being realistic, with the strength of the Qingyun Sect and the cultivation level of that green-robed prince, could they truly withstand Qian Daoliu?
"Sigh... things have come to this point, it's best to think things through carefully. At worst, we can just continue to be the Spirit Hall's lackeys!"
However, upon witnessing Bibi Dong's death, while everyone present harbored their own thoughts...
Suddenly, as a dark green soul force condensed, it first formed a giant energy cocoon in the air.
With a "crack," the giant energy cocoon shattered, and to everyone's disbelief, Bibi Dong emerged from it.
Not only her physical body, but even her papal robes were completely wrinkle-free.
It was as if Qian Daoliu's previous attack had never actually landed on her.
How is that possible!
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Bibi Dong smiled dismissively.
As a titled Douluo who has cultivated both of her martial souls to the highest level, her methods are far from simple.
The ninth soul skill of the Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul is enough to bring her back to life.
Although the conditions for its execution are somewhat demanding, it is not difficult to use it to block a single attack from Qian Daoliu!
After all, in the original Douluo Continent novel, this soul skill blocked a halberd strike from the Sea God's phantom!
"Senior, you admit it!"
"Just like you said before, let's wipe the slate clean!"
Qian Daoliu: "..."
Oops!
That was too definitive; I'm now in a difficult position.
That makes sense, after all, she was the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, carefully selected back then. If she couldn't even withstand one of my moves, then the Spirit Hall's judgment in choosing people would be far too poor.
and……
Regardless of the circumstances, Bibi Dong is Qian Renxue's mother.
He could disregard her life or death, but he had to consider Xue'er's feelings.
"That's...good enough!"
Calming his mind, Qian Daoliu casually dispersed the golden longsword that had been gathered in his hand and waved his hand.
A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!
If you kill Ji'er once, I'll kill you once; that's fair enough.
From this day forward, you and my family are even!
Qian Xunji's meaning was clear: she was ready to let Bibi Dong go.
Unfortunately, it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away; Bibi Dong is not the kind of person who is willing to suffer losses.
"Heh, old man, your words are truly laughable. You've settled your scores, but mine haven't!"
"Bibi Dong, what do you want to do!"
"Simple. Now, nominally speaking, I am not only the Pope of the Spirit Hall, but also Qian Xunji's wife. I think you can't deny that, right?"
Since that's the case, then when I leave, I should naturally have a share of Qian Xunji's things.
Senior, do you acknowledge it or not?
Before she got her hands on the item, Bibi Dong was willing to address Qian Daoliu as "senior."
It wasn't that she respected the elderly and cared for the young; out of respect for Qian Xunji, she genuinely regarded Qian Daoliu as an elder.
Rather, it's because the old guy on the other side is just too strong.
Because he is an honest man, as long as you put Qian Daoliu in that position, he will naturally agree.
But if you push an honest person too hard...
Qian Daoliu really wanted to make a move, but with Bibi Dong's current cultivation level, she definitely wouldn't be able to leave Wuhun City alive!
"You never said such things when Ji'er was alive, but now that he's dead, you realize you're the daughter-in-law of the Qian family."
Fine, if you want it, then take it!
Anyone from my Spirit Hall who is willing to follow you, I will never stop.
I, Qian Daoliu, said those words, and I will never cause trouble afterward!
The Spirit Hall is a force gathered together by the faith in the Angel God.
Qian Daoliu was confident that even though Bibi Dong had been the pope for more than ten years, she had promoted many of her cronies to consolidate her rule.
His power was so great that it was like the sun at its zenith!
However, Qian Daoliu also believed that not everyone was willing to follow her!
Just like now.
Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Bibi Dong gave him a meaningful look. Originally, she intended to take all her direct subordinates with her and then seek another way out.
Die-hard fans like Hu Liena and Ghost Leopard Douluo were indeed very supportive, stepping forward and standing firmly behind Bibi Dong.
But what made her frown was...
People like Xiong Mo Douluo and Gui Mei Yue Guan, who were like fence-sitters, became indecisive.
"Hmph!" Bibi Dong snorted coldly.
"What a bunch of ungrateful wretches!"
However, in some ways it can be considered a good thing.
True friendship is revealed in times of adversity. Those who are willing to follow you at this time are naturally your loyal followers, and you can use them with confidence in the future.
After some tugging and some frowning on both of their faces, the group that was willing to follow Bibi Dong packed their bags and stood outside the city walls of Wuhun City.
I never expected so many people would be willing to follow.
One reason is that he never expected that after so many years as pope, he would have so few close confidants.
Several titled Douluo, some Soul Masters with considerable Soul Power, and the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall.
Admittedly, these forces are nothing to the Spirit Hall.
As long as Qian Daoliu is in charge, the Spirit Hall will always be the Spirit Hall!
However, no matter how much you deceive yourself, you cannot change the truth that the Spirit Hall has been split up!
