Chapter 208 Bibi Dong's Show of Power!
In the Spirit Hall today, there is probably only one person who can suppress the two of them so easily.
Qian Daoliu!
Seeing Qian Daoliu emerge, Bibi Dong gave Qin Mu a deep look.
She truly hadn't expected that in just ten years, the boy who was only slightly talented back then would have the strength to stand up to her.
Bibi Dong snorted coldly, then turned and left.
Seeing this, Hu Liena glanced at Qin Mu with a complicated and reluctant look in her eyes, and then immediately ran in the direction Bibi Dong had left.
Watching Bibi Dong leave, Qin Mu's surprise was no less than Bibi Dong's.
It should be noted that Qin Mu currently possesses three 100,000-year soul rings, bringing his total lifespan to nearly a million years.
Even so, he still couldn't gain the upper hand in the confrontation with Bibi Dong!
Furthermore, with his keen senses, he could vaguely perceive that Bibi Dong hadn't even used her full strength!
"The advantage of twin martial souls, coupled with the strength of a high-level Title Douluo, cannot be compensated for even by three 100,000-year soul rings?"
After a brief glance, Qin Mu turned his gaze to Qian Daoliu.
"Thank you so much for your help, senior!"
"Hehe, it's alright. I believe that even if I don't take action, Bibi Dong probably won't be able to do anything to you for the time being."
"Bibi Dong is a woman who possesses twin martial souls and also has a 100,000-year soul ring, but you don't need to underestimate yourself."
"Given time, you won't even have to wait until you're as old as Bibi Dong. When you reach the same level of soul power as her, even if she has twin martial souls, she might not be your match!"
Qian Daoliu looked at Qin Mu with great satisfaction and smiled reassuringly.
"I understand!"
Qian Daoliu nodded to Qin Mu and continued.
"Now that you're back, the Elders' Council meeting will begin this year."
"Although you are not yet a formal elder of the Spirit Hall, your strength, coupled with the support you receive from the elders in the Spirit Hall, is enough for you to participate in the elders' council."
"If there's nothing else, please come to the Elder Hall now!"
As he spoke, Qian Daoliu glanced at Ling Yuan and Yue Guan beside him, his expression naturally not as varied as when he looked at Qin Mu.
"You guys come over too."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan and Yue Guan dared not be presumptuous in front of Qian Daoliu. After respectfully responding, they followed behind Qin Mu.
Following Qian Daoliu's footsteps, the four of them soon passed through the Spirit Hall and arrived at the more central Elder Hall.
At this moment, in the main hall of the Elders' Hall, many elders of the Spirit Hall were already seated in front of a huge round stone table.
As soon as Qian Daoliu walked in, all the elders immediately stopped their conversation, stood up, and respectfully bowed to him.
"Grand Priest."
Qian Daoliu nodded calmly and, amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd, sat down at the head of the round table.
Throughout the entire process, the other elders remained silent and motionless until Qian Daoliu sat down, after which they all took their seats.
"Little Qin Mu, Yue Guan and I each have our own seats in the Spirit Hall, so we'll go ahead first. You can sit at the end."
After giving Qin Mu some instructions, Ling Yuan and Yue Guan went to their respective seats and sat down.
Just as Qin Mu sat down at the end of the round table as Ling Yuan instructed, suddenly, all the elders present felt as if time had stopped for a moment, and then everything went blurry.
The sudden change caught many elders off guard, but fortunately, most of the elders present were at the Title Douluo level and had seen many big scenes, so they were not too panicked.
After a brief commotion, everyone suddenly noticed that Qin Mu, who was supposed to be sitting at the end, was now sitting next to Ling Yuan. This sudden change caught even Qin Mu himself off guard.
"I arranged it. Although Qin Mu is not a formal elder yet, he ranks among the top elders in terms of both merit and strength."
"If anyone has any objections, then wait until after the elders' meeting, and have a contest with Qin Mu. The winner can take his place."
"But this time, let's arrange it like this for now."
The elders present had no objections to Qian Daoliu's arrangement.
Those who know him need no further explanation, and even those who don't understand him are aware that Qin Mu's prestige within the Spirit Hall is now showing signs of surpassing that of the current Pope, Bibi Dong.
This council of elders will most likely be focused on establishing Qin Mu's status as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.
Moreover, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Qian Daoliu favors Qin Mu. Not only did he suggest confirming Qin Mu's identity at the previous elders' meeting, but he even walked alongside Qin Mu to the elders' hall just now.
It's safe to say that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Qin Mu becoming the next Pope is practically a done deal.
At this point in time, if anyone offends Qin Mu, what difference is there between offending the future Pope and offending him?
Some people who knew Qin Mu took this opportunity to chat with him, while those who didn't know him nodded to him in a friendly manner.
Feeling that it was getting late, Golden Crocodile Douluo, sitting below Qian Daoliu, turned his head to look at the elders at the round table, and then his brows suddenly furrowed.
"What is Bibi Dong up to now? The elders' meeting is about to start, why is she late at this crucial moment?"
"It seems she's been sitting on that pope's seat far too comfortably all these years!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu merely snorted coldly.
"She's trying to intimidate me."
After saying that, he recounted what had happened in the Papal Palace in a voice that only a few priests could hear.
Upon hearing that Bibi Dong was actually planning to attack Qin Mu, a cold expression appeared on the faces of these Douluos.
"I knew this woman was no ordinary person! Too ambitious, too calculating! She's a great offering to you..."
Golden Crocodile Douluo sighed, then looked at the empty seat not far away and sneered.
"The Grand Priest was willing to lose face to secure her position, yet she is so heartless!"
What no one noticed was that after Golden Crocodile Douluo finished speaking, Qian Daoliu's expression changed for a moment, but then he immediately returned to normal.
As the time for the elders' meeting to begin had passed, the elders below gradually realized something was wrong. Looking at the empty seat where Bibi Dong should have been, the elders couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
Just then, the doors of the Elders' Hall were pushed open again.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall figure striding towards them, her beautiful face bearing an undeniable air of authority and coldness.
With such imposing presence, no one else in the Spirit Hall besides Bibi Dong could match her.
To everyone's surprise, Bibi Dong, who arrived late, did not come to the council of elders alone.
Behind her, a slender and graceful figure was clearly visible.
That woman was none other than Hu Liena!
