The evening after the meeting,
Bibi Dong stood in a small courtyard within Spirit City, wearing a lavender suspender nightgown.
She knew of the decision made by the Worship Hall, after all, the Spirit Hall had disseminated the news that afternoon.
Qian Daoliu had only restricted her personal freedom, but the former Saint Maiden still knew the general news.
However, the Spirit Hall had only emphasized its intention to send troops to attack the Haotian Sect, without specifying a specific time. It was a game of words.
Alas, I only said I would send troops, but you simply didn't know when. It was just a game.
After all, only the Worship Hall's group of worshippers knew about Qian Xunji's affair; no one else was privy to it.
After all, it was a scandal within the Qian family, and that old man Qian Daoliu wouldn't publicise it.
However, another member of the Qian family appeared at the meeting this time:
Qian Guyue.
It was said that this Qian family member possessed innate spiritual power comparable to his daughter's. It was likely that after this incident, he would become the new Pope of the Spirit Hall.
It's said he'd been cultivating constantly. Aside from the Qian family's own members and those in the Worship Hall, no one else knew about this person.
Furthermore, during the meeting, this person sat in Qian Daoliu's previous seat, meaning he was at least a level 96 Super Douluo!
Haha, that's the Qian family!
The lowest level achieved is Soul Sage, while the highest level in the Qian family right now is Qian Daoliu of the Worship Hall, a level 99 Ultimate Douluo. Combined with his divine spirit, the Seraphim, and his long-term devotion to the Angel God, Qian Daoliu could wield some divine power. If a fight really came to blows, it wouldn't be the narrow defeat Tang Chen seems to have assumed.
This meant he was even more superior than Qian Daoliu, destined to reach his level in the future, perhaps even reaching the level of their family's ancestral deity. Remember, Qian Guyue is young, barely older than she is.
As expected of a family with a divine ancestry. She naturally had a higher starting point than others.
Think of her as Bibi Dong, who awakened her spirit at the age of six, possessed twin spirits, the top-tier Spider Emperor spirit, and possessed innate full spirit power.
Having been taught by Qianxunji since childhood, she had access to all sorts of resources, practically surpassing most others.
If nothing unexpected happened, even if Bibi Dong couldn't inherit the position of Pope, she would have no problem entering the Hall of Worship.
However, when Bibi Dong was sixteen, she met someone.
The son of the head of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. He would later become Yu Xiaogang, the future proclaimer of the famous "Ten Core Competitiveness Theory of Soul Masters."
With such a strong start, as the son of the leader of one of the three upper sects, he was naturally destined for the upper echelons. As long as his spirit awakened and his innate spirit power reached level eight or nine, his future life would be a safe one. This was the strength of the upper three sects.
In reality, the vast majority of the continent's resources were controlled by major forces like the Spirit Hall, the upper three sects, the lower four sects, the two empires, and the families with Soul Douluo masters. For ordinary people, the only way to truly rise to prominence was to join these forces. However, these large families were exclusive, and even if they did, they would remain outer disciples, never entering the core realm.
Of course, if you possess exceptional talent, marriage alliances are usually used to attract talented spirit masters from other families.
However, a surprising outcome arose. As the clan leader's son, his awakened spirit wasn't the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, but a farting pig, with a mere half-level spirit power.
Within a clan, talent and strength are paramount to success. Those with exceptional talent and strength receive greater resources, while others are gradually marginalised.
However, as the clan leader's son, with only half-level spirit power, and his spirit wasn't the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, but a farting pig, Yu Dashi was immediately ridiculed by his clan and even became a laughingstock within the spirit master community.
Having endured family ridicule since childhood, Yu Dashi eventually ran away from home and entered the Spirit Hall, where he met Bibi Dong, then a Saint.
Finally, under Bibi Dong's persuasion, Yu Dashi decided to pursue theoretical research. Since he had no talent for spirit mastering, he might as well give theoretical research a try!
Bibi Dong's words were like a ray of light that illuminated Yu Dashi's gloomy heart.
In the days that followed, the two of them often discussed the issues surrounding their spirits.
Slowly, Bibi Dong was drawn to the young man, eventually harbouring thoughts of eloping with him.
What happened in the end?
The young man escaped, and she was left behind, giving birth to a daughter she hated.
Originally, Bibi Dong had thought that once she became Pope, she would slowly seek revenge against the Spirit Hall and the Qian Clan.
However, the appearance of Qian Gu Yue at this moment crushed Bibi Dong's thoughts. Bibi Dong knew that she had killed Qian Xunji, and that old man Qian Daoliu knew about it.
"Knock, knock!" There was a knock on the door.
Bibi Dong frowned, wondering why it was so late. Who could be coming?
However, Bibi Dong first went back to her room and put on a coat before opening the door.
"Saintess."
"Elder Ju? Elder Gui?" Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment as she looked at the two people outside the door.
Why were these two people here?
"Please come in, both of you." Bibi Dong stepped aside to let the two elders in.
After all, these two had helped her a lot in the past.
"I wonder what you two came to see me about?" Bibi Dong poured them a cup of tea.
The two exchanged glances, and finally, Ju Douluo spoke.
"It's like this. Today's meeting has passed a resolution to dispatch troops to the Haotian Sect in three days," Ju Douluo said slowly.
"Saint Maiden, you're also on the list this time."
"Me too?" Bibi Dong was stunned.
She was already under house arrest, so why was she supposed to go?
Could this mission be used as a covert means of getting rid of her?
It wasn't surprising, Bibi Dong thought. After all, Qian Daoliu's son had died at her hands. There was no way
Qian Daoliu could have gotten rid of her within the Spirit Hall, so he'd just use this mission to let her die in obscurity outside.
Haha, was this the end for her? She hadn't yet exacted revenge on the Qian family and hadn't even seen Xiaogang again.
Jue and Gui also noticed something was amiss with Bibi Dong and quickly said, "Saint Maiden, it's Qian Guyue who suggested you go this time."
Hmm, hmmm?
Qian Guyue? That Qian family member? Bibi Dong's eyes widened, and she didn't react for a moment.
After all, she had killed Qian Xunji!
She could see Bibi Dong's confusion.
"Saintess, that person said that as a disciple of the Pope, you, Bibi Dong, must stand at the front line in this battle."
Bibi Dong understood after hearing this.
If she didn't go, then there would be a big problem in the Spirit Hall.
Even in the entire spirit master world, her reputation would be completely ruined.
You know, respecting teachers is still very important on the mainland.
If Bibi Dong didn't react this time, then there would be a problem.
"Is that so! I understand." Bibi Dong nodded.
"Since that's the case, we'll leave. We still need to make some preparations."
"Okay, I'll see you two off!"
Bibi Dong stood up and saw Ju Gui and the others off.
