Chapter 74 The Evil Within a Bright Skin, A Nightmare in a Secret Chamber!
[TOP7—Qian Xunji, the previous Pope of the Spirit Hall!]
The image freezes.
He was a handsome, refined middle-aged man.
He wore a golden papal robe, held a scepter, and wore a gentle and holy smile. He exuded a radiant aura that was as refreshing as a spring breeze.
Behind him, the radiance of the six-winged angel martial spirit shone brightly, as if he were the embodiment of the purest and most righteous person in the world.
However, this very face is now displayed on the list of "hypocrites," which seems particularly glaring and ironic.
Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.
"Snap—!"
Bibi Dong actually managed to crack the scepter in her hand.
Her laughter, which had been going wild because she saw the flaw in Qian Xunji's martial soul, suddenly stopped.
Instead, a tremor, a mixture of extreme resentment and pain, welled up from the depths of the soul.
"Thousand-Site-Swift"
She squeezed those three words out through gritted teeth, each one dripping with bloody hatred.
With the appearance of this name, the evil power that had been suppressed within Bibi Dong—the Rakshasa Divine Sense—seemed to smell the most delicious offering and began to launch a frenzied counterattack!
"ah-!!"
Bibi Dong clutched her head in anguish and let out a piercing scream.
Her once stunningly beautiful and noble face was now undergoing a horrifying transformation.
The left side of her face still retained the Pope's majesty and beauty, and even looked pitiful because of the pain.
However, the right half of her face was quickly covered by purplish-black demonic patterns, her eyes turned into scarlet vertical pupils, and her mouth split into an exaggerated and ferocious arc, like a demon crawling out of hell!
Half angel, half demon!
"Kill him—kill him—even if he's already dead, scatter his ashes!!"
The evil thoughts of the Rakshasa god roared wildly in her mind, constantly eroding her remaining sanity.
Bibi Dong exuded a nauseating purplish-black mist, instantly lowering the temperature inside the Papal Palace to freezing. The guards were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground and scrambled away from the palace, which seemed to have become a den of demons.
The Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, the Crown Prince's Residence.
Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, dropped her teacup with a "crack" and shattered it on the ground.
She stared intently at the familiar man on the sky, her father, who, though vague in her memory, was always tall, imposing, and full of love.
"No—this is impossible!"
Qian Renxue suddenly stood up, her chest heaving violently, her eyes filled with disbelief and anger.
"My father was the Pope of the Spirit Hall, the spokesperson for light! He dedicated his life to fighting against evil, and in the end, he was severely injured by the Clear Sky Douluo while protecting the Spirit Hall—how could he possibly be a hypocrite?!"
"This is a stain! This is a stain on the sky!!"
Qian Renxue screamed wildly in her heart.
In her mind, her father was a hero, while her mother, Bibi Dong, was a cold-blooded, ruthless, and inexplicably hateful madwoman who hated her and her father.
However, the heavens are merciless. They will not cease their judgment because of Qian Renxue's suffering.
As Qian Xunji's portrait gradually faded, lines of shocking, blood-red text, like a verdict, were nailed to everyone's retinas.
[A hypocrite's assessment: All glitter and no substance, rotten inside.]
Qian Xunji, possessing the six-winged angel martial soul, should have been a guardian of justice. He enjoyed the admiration of thousands, draped in a sacred cloak, yet in the shadows, he committed the most despicable and heinous acts in the world!
[To retain her genius disciple with twin martial souls, to prevent the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall from eloping with Yu Xiaogang, the "good-for-nothing" of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and even more so to steal that unparalleled talent and bloodline—]
[He, as a teacher and as the Pope, raped his own disciple, Bibi Dong, in that secret chamber!]
He used his most sacred status to conceal his most sordid desires.
He used the high-sounding rhetoric of "for the Spirit Hall" to destroy all of a young girl's dreams and dignity.
He was the mastermind behind Bibi Dong's descent into darkness, the root cause of Yu Xiaogang's lifelong suffering, and the instigator of Qian Renxue's childhood tragedy.
He is—the root of all evil!
boom-!!!
The moment this text was published, it was as if a magnitude 12 earthquake had struck the entire Douluo Continent.
"Oh my god—is this—is this real?"
"Did the Pope rape his disciple? Or a saint?"
"No wonder—no wonder Pope Bibi Dong has such an eccentric personality, no wonder she doesn't seem to have much affection for the Spirit Hall—"
"This is outrageous! Is this what they call justice? Bah!"
Countless Soul Masters' worldviews crumbled at this moment. The former Pope of the Spirit Hall, whom they had always revered, was actually a beast in human skin!
Inside the Crown Prince's residence.
As Qian Renxue stared at the lines of text, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and froze on the spot.
"Rape—my brother—?"
"For the sake of—bloodline—?"
Her mind went blank, and all the doubts she had had in the past seemed to find the cruelest answers at this moment.
Why does my mother never hug me?
Why does my mother always look at me with such disgust and hatred?
Why would her mother kill her father with her own hands? (Although it was a secret, she had a vague feeling about it.)
"So—am I a product of those filthy desires?"
Qian Renxue's body swayed precariously, and two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks.
The angelic bloodline she was so proud of now made her feel utterly disgusted.
She always thought her mother was a cold-blooded monster, but she never expected that the real monster was the father she had always admired!
Just as Qian Renxue's faith collapsed, the scene shifted, revealing the darkest, most obscure part of history in a stark and unvarnished way.
[Memorable Scene: The Locked Room - The Fall of Light]
The scene was dark and oppressive.
This is a sealed, secret room, with arrays carved all around the walls to isolate sound and soul power.
In her youth, Bibi Dong possessed stunning beauty and a pure, innocent charm, with eyes that held both anticipation for the future and deep respect for her teacher.
She was anxiously explaining something to the tall figure in front of her, whose back was turned to her.
"Teacher, please, please grant Xiaogang and my wish! We truly love each other!"
Bibi Dong's voice was choked with sobs as she knelt on the ground, pleading desperately.
The tall figure slowly turned around; it was Qian Xunji.
At this moment, his face no longer held its usual holiness and gentleness; instead, it displayed a chilling coldness and greed.
"Dong'er, you have disappointed your teacher greatly."
Qian Xunji approached step by step, his voice low and hoarse.
"You are a genius that the Spirit Hall sees only once in ten thousand years. With your twin spirits, you are destined to lead the Spirit Hall to glory. How can you abandon your responsibility for a piece of trash who can never break through level 30?"
"No! I just want to be with Xiaogang! Even if I have to give up being a saintess!" Bibi Dong stubbornly raised her head.
"Not wanting to be a saint?"
Qian Xunji suddenly laughed, a laugh that looked particularly distorted in the dim light.
"Since you remain obstinate, your teacher will have no choice but to use special methods to keep you in the Spirit Hall forever."
"What are you doing? Teacher—don't come any closer!"
Bibi Dong retreated in terror until her back hit the cold wall.
"For the Spirit Hall, for the continuation of the Angel Clan—Dong'er, leave your body and your talent behind!"
Qian Xunji lunged forward, his level 95 soul power instantly erupting, pinning Bibi Dong, who was only a Soul Emperor, to the ground, rendering her unable to move.
"No—!! Teacher! No!!"
"Xiao Gang! Help me—!!"
The piercing screams and desperate cries echoed in the secret room, yet not a single sound could be heard.
In the scene, the phantom of the six-winged angel martial spirit, symbolizing holiness, appeared behind Qian Xunji, coldly observing everything. As Qian Xunji committed his atrocities, those originally pure white wings seemed to be stained with an indelible layer of filth.
Light died completely at that moment.
Darkness took root and sprouted in the girl's heart.
The screen gradually went black, leaving only Bibi Dong's final, venomous curse: "Qian Xunji—Spirit Hall—Angel Clan—I curse you! I will destroy all of this!!"
The images on the sky faded away, but the overwhelming sense of despair lingered in everyone's hearts for a long time.
Inside the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong had stopped screaming. She slumped to the ground, her hair disheveled, and two streams of bloody tears flowed down her half-human, half-ghost face.
She looked at the sky and suddenly smiled.
"Hehe—hehehe—"
The laughter was shrill, like the wailing of a night owl.
"Have you seen it clearly, people of the world? Have you seen it clearly?"
Bibi Dong stood up unsteadily, opening her arms as if embracing the endless darkness.
"This is the Pope you revere! This is what you call justice!"
"Since light is so filthy, then I will embrace darkness! Since this world cannot contain my happiness, then I will—destroy this world!!"
boom-!
An extremely terrifying aura of evil shot up from the Papal Palace, soaring into the sky and even dyeing the clouds in the sky a purplish-black color.
And in Tiandou City.
Qian Renxue collapsed to her knees, covering her face with her hands and sobbing uncontrollably.
Her world collapsed.
Just as the entire continent was gripped by shock and anger, the list on the sky began to scroll once more.
Now that we have the seventh-ranked "true villain" Qian Xunji, what kind of hypocritical and deceitful people will be ranked ahead of him?
[Douluo Continent: Top Ten Hypocrites!]
