Chapter 210 One Blows, One Praises
Upon hearing this, everyone present was instantly dumbfounded.
As the parties involved in the incident, Qin Mu and Bibi Dong were both stunned upon hearing these words.
When Qin Mu came to his senses, the first thing he heard was a series of cracking sounds from bones rubbing together.
Turning his head, he saw Bibi Dong's two fair and slender hands clenched into fists. Her face looked very calm, but her eyes were fixed on Qian Daoliu, who was sitting in the main seat.
Before they could even speak, an elder immediately stood up to voice his opposition.
"Your Excellency, this matter is of utmost importance. Please reconsider!"
"Over the years, under the leadership of the Pope, everyone has witnessed how much stronger our Spirit Hall has become."
"Why take the step of abolishing the Pope at this time?"
Qin Mu looked in the direction of the voice and saw an elder stand up from the back of the round table, cup his hands and greet Qian Daoliu.
The fact that this elder chose to speak at this moment clearly shows that his stance within the Spirit Hall is to support Bibi Dong.
"Elder Qin, that's not how it's said."
"New talents emerge in every generation, and Pope Bibi Dong has been in this position for nearly twenty years."
"Just because Pope Bibi Dong has made the Spirit Hall stronger, can't there be a new person to replace her? Does she mean Pope Bibi Dong has to sit in this position until she dies?"
Surprisingly, it was Yue Guan who stood up to refute Elder Qin.
Yue Guan rarely openly opposes Bibi Dong in such situations. It seems that the incident at the Papal Palace just now led Yue Guan to choose to confront Bibi Dong as well.
"Moreover, the strength of the Spirit Hall may be related to the leadership of Pope Bibi Dong, but our Spirit Hall has been famous on the Douluo Continent for a long time, and many spirit masters come here because of its reputation."
"To be honest, Pope Bibi Dong doesn't seem to have done anything that would make her famous throughout the continent in the past twenty years. On the contrary, she has done quite a few things that have damaged the reputation of our Spirit Hall."
"For example, when they tried to besiege the Clear Sky Sect, the sect repeatedly escaped; after learning about Tang Hao, they failed to besiege Tang Hao and instead had their own elders killed by him, which led to Tang Hao taking action at the Continental High-Level Soul Master Elite Tournament, almost destroying the Spirit Hall and assassinating Qin Mu in public; there was even an incident where Tang Xiao openly blocked the road to kill Qin Mu."
"I'm sure all the elders here are aware of these numerous flaws. If this is what you call leading the Spirit Hall to gradually become stronger, then I have nothing more to say!"
Yue Guan's words hit the nail on the head, leaving Elder Qin speechless. Even Bibi Dong herself had an unpredictable expression on her face.
Upon hearing Yue Guan's words, many of the elders present nodded in agreement.
"Come to think of it, these things all seem to have something to do with Qin Mu, right?"
This did not cool down the atmosphere of the meeting. Gui Mei spoke up at the right time to help Yue Guan.
Seeing that his words had once again drawn everyone's attention, Gui Mei calmly spoke up.
"Firstly, regarding the matter of besieging Tang Hao, Qin Mu explicitly informed the Pope of Tang Hao's location. Although they ultimately failed, we shouldn't deny Qin Mu's contribution, should we?"
"Later, when Tang Hao appeared at the Continental High-Level Soul Master Elite Tournament and attempted to assassinate Qin Mu, Qin Mu faced Tang Hao alone."
"How strong was Qin Mu back then? Only a fifth-ring cultivator!"
"I ask you, among all the elders present, who dares to face that Haotian Douluo alone? Let alone when he was only at the fifth ring!"
Upon hearing this, many of the elders present couldn't help but twitch their faces.
As the Spirit Hall's number one enemy, Tang Hao had left a huge psychological scar on them in the early years. Even though Tang Hao is now half-crippled and his whereabouts are unknown, many people still can't help but tremble when they hear that they have to fight him.
"There's also the matter of Tang Xiao's ambush. As Sky-Shaking Roar Beast Douluo, who is on par with Haotian Douluo, everyone here is probably aware of his strength."
"Faced with such a powerful enemy's ambush, and with the help of an elder from the Clear Sky Sect, Qin Mu relied on his extraordinary courage and intelligence to finally penetrate deep into the far north and find an opportunity to kill that Clear Sky Sect elder!"
"Such an achievement, doesn't it enhance the prestige of our Spirit Hall? The only pity is that the whole incident wasn't exposed, and the body of that Clear Sky Sect elder couldn't be found. Otherwise, based on the influence of this incident alone, Qin Mu would be qualified to become an elder of the Spirit Hall!"
Following Yue Guan's words, Gui Mei continued to praise Qin Mu. The two of them sang in unison, one belittling Bibi Dong and the other praising Qin Mu.
This comparison led many elders present to believe that Bibi Dong was inferior to Qin Mu.
"You! You're taking things out of context! His Holiness the Pope has been Pope for over twenty years, and his achievements in civil administration far surpass those of Qin Mu. Therefore, it's clear that Pope Bibi Dong is superior to Qin Mu in this regard..."
Elder Qin was already somewhat exasperated at this point, because if Bibi Dong really fell from power, his days in the Spirit Hall would definitely not be easy.
"Bullshit!"
Ling Yuan showed Elder Qin no respect whatsoever, immediately launching into a tirade of insults.
"The reason why Qin Mu has no civil administration is because he has never held a high position in the Spirit Hall. Otherwise, why don't you let Qin Mu sit as Pope for a few days and see what happens?"
"According to you, I would also say that I am evenly matched with Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect! After all, Tang Chen has never defeated me in a head-on confrontation."
"This shows that my strength is on par with Tang Chen's!"
After Ling Yuan finished speaking, many elders present were trying hard to suppress their laughter, and some even couldn't help but laugh out loud.
As someone who could be compared to Qian Daoliu, the Grand Priest of the Spirit Hall, Tang Chen's reputation was naturally familiar to everyone present.
Let alone the current Ling Yuan, even if Ling Yuan cultivated for a hundred years, she probably wouldn't be a match for Tang Chen.
Ling Yuan said this entirely to anger Elder Qin.
"You!"
Elder Qin was embarrassed by Ling Yuan's rebuke in front of so many people.
Unable to restrain himself, Elder Qin released his martial soul, and a wave of pressure surged towards Ling Yuan.
Seeing this, Ling Yuan snorted disdainfully and also released her martial soul.
In terms of strength, apart from the seven Priests, there are not even three people in the Elder Hall who can surpass Ling Yuan.
Almost instantly, Elder Qin was unable to straighten his back under the pressure of Ling Yuan.
"You've actually become this strong..."
Sensing the aura of the Spirit Kite, not only Elder Qin, but also the other elders present all turned their heads to look.
It should be noted that before this, Ling Yuan's strength in the Spirit Hall was only considered to be average.
Since becoming Qin Mu's personal bodyguard, these elders have gradually lost track of Ling Yuan's strength.
Unexpectedly, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and now Ling Yuan has the ability to overwhelm most of the elders!
