Chapter 211 Making a Statement! Bibi Dong's Defeat
"There's nothing I can do. I didn't want to grow up so fast either, but Qin Mu's cultivation method is just so effective."
Ling Yuan chuckled softly, then went on to praise Qin Mu once more.
Upon hearing Ling Yuan's words, many elders' eyes lit up.
After years of getting along, we all have a pretty good idea of each other's strengths and backgrounds, if not that we know each other inside and out.
Seeing Ling Yuan display such strength, everyone's first reaction was, "Has this woman had some kind of extraordinary encounter?"
After hearing Ling Yuan's answer, many elders' eyes darted back and forth between Qin Mu and Gui Mei.
The reason they looked at Gui Mei was naturally because they had all heard Gui Mei say that Qin Mu had a way to greatly improve everyone's strength.
They were initially somewhat skeptical, but now that Ling Yuan has presented such a vivid example, they are forced to consider the pros and cons.
Having achieved her goal, Ling Yuan had barely breathed a sigh of relief when she was met with Bibi Dong's eyes, which seemed to want to devour her.
Before Ling Yuan could react, an even more powerful aura emanated from Bibi Dong, instantly breaking the pressure that Ling Yuan was exerting on Elder Qin.
Bibi Dong did not let the pressure fall on Ling Yuan, but instead kept her eyes fixed on Ling Yuan.
Then, a murderous aura specifically targeting Ling Yuan emanated from Bibi Dong's eyes.
Just one glance was enough to soak Ling Yuan's back in cold sweat!
The terrifying killing intent made Ling Yuan feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave filled with gleaming swords, and she was even somewhat unable to extricate herself!
Just as Ling Yuan's spirit was about to give out, a soft golden light suddenly appeared, enveloping her like sunlight.
Slowly regaining her senses, she found that the sword and ice cave had disappeared, and the stone table of the Elder Hall was still in front of her.
The golden light flowing around her body like liquid made Ling Yuan realize that everything just now was so real!
Her gaze fell upon Qin Mu, who was holding her hand, and strands of golden light flowed from his hand into her body.
Wiping away the dense cold sweat from her forehead, Ling Yuan sat back down in her seat, trembling slightly.
The change just now was so rapid that most people didn't even have time to react.
But Ling Yuan truly had a brush with death!
If it weren't for Qin Mu's help, even if Ling Yuan wasn't defeated by Bibi Dong's killing intent, she would still have suffered psychological trauma due to its influence.
After calming Ling Yuan down, Qin Mu immediately turned his attention to Bibi Dong.
At this moment, Bibi Dong's killing intent had not yet subsided. A killing intent no less powerful than Bibi Dong's emanated from Qin Mu, also targeting Bibi Dong alone.
However, unlike Bibi Dong, Qin Mu's killing intent also carried an extremely powerful mental impact.
The terrifying killing intent, imbued with immense spiritual power, surged towards Bibi Dong in an almost tangible form. The moment they made contact, Bibi Dong's expression turned extremely ugly, and even with her formidable strength, she was barely able to withstand it.
Just as the Elder Hall was about to turn into a full-blown brawl, Qian Daoliu, sitting in the main seat, snorted coldly. Immediately, two holy golden lights descended from the sky, enveloping the two of them.
The moment the golden light appeared, the killing intent on Qin Mu and Bibi Dong melted away instantly, like ice and snow meeting fire.
Feeling this golden light, Qin Mu was surprised to find that although the golden light was warm and holy and seemed to have no harmful power at all, it prevented Qin Mu's mental attack from breaking through any further!
"Is this Qian Daoliu's strength? A level 99 Title Douluo is indeed extraordinary."
Seeing Qian Daoliu make his move, Qin Mu obediently withdrew all his techniques.
However, Qin Mu did not notice that when Qian Daoliu made his move, the huge angel statue behind the Elder Hall also emitted a faint golden light.
"Gentlemen, we are holding an elders' meeting! Both of you are high-ranking figures in the Spirit Hall. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to fight like this in the elders' hall, disregarding your status?"
Qian Daoliu's words carried a hint of anger, after all, no one had ever dared to make a move at the Elders' Council in all these years!
"Your Excellency is right. I have been presumptuous!"
Qin Mu immediately seized the opportunity and cupped his hands in greeting to Qian Daoliu.
"Bibi Dong, it's one thing for Qin Mu to be a junior who is young and impetuous and doesn't know the rules, but you are a senior member of the Elder Hall, how can you be so presumptuous?"
Seeing Qin Mu apologize, Qian Daoliu immediately turned his attention to Bibi Dong.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong knew that Qian Daoliu was trying to help Qin Mu, so she ignored him and stared coldly at Qin Mu.
She sensed an extremely strong threat from Qin Mu.
Qin Mu has definitely not reached the Title Douluo level yet, but he already has methods that can make her feel troubled.
If he continues to grow like this, even if he can't replace me today, it's only a matter of time.
However, after his brief display of skill, many elders present were now quite impressed with Qin Mu.
It should be noted that they were unaware that Bibi Dong had made the first move.
If Ling Yuan's expression hadn't changed, they probably wouldn't have known that a covert battle had begun.
However, Qin Mu's subsequent attack, with its extremely strong killing intent, was clearly perceived by everyone present.
Thus, Qin Mu's actions brought Bibi Dong's clandestine schemes into the open.
Feeling the terrifying killing intent that was in no way inferior to Bibi Dong's, all the elders present changed color.
Most of the elders could sense that if this tangible killing intent were directed at them, they probably wouldn't last more than a few breaths!
What surprised them even more was that Qin Mu's killing intent actually showed a tendency to suppress Bibi Dong's killing intent!
Does that mean that even if Qin Mu were to fight Bibi Dong, he might not be at a disadvantage?
At this moment, they were also seriously considering whether Qian Daoliu's proposal to have Qin Mu replace Bibi Dong was feasible.
"Alright, everyone, calm down. You haven't given me an answer to my proposal yet."
Upon hearing this, none of the elders present were willing to stand up and express their opinion.
Even Qian Daoliu sensed something was amiss about the eerie atmosphere.
As expected, after half a minute of silence, Ling Yuan, having regained her senses, stood up again.
"I agree with the Grand Priest's opinion, and I am willing to support Qin Mu in becoming the new Pope!"
After Ling Yuan spoke, before Bibi Dong could react, Yue Guan and Gui Mei stood up at the same time.
"I am willing to support Qin Mu in becoming the new Pope!"
After Yue Guan and Gui Mei finished speaking, the elders stood up one after another and expressed their willingness to support Qin Mu to Qian Daoliu.
Before long, the elders at the round table had answered most of the questions, but Bibi Dong's face was as red as a pig's liver.
This is because more than 60% of the elders who stood up expressed their willingness to support Qin Mu in becoming the new Pope!
Among the elders who did not stand up, apart from the seven Priests including Qian Daoliu, only Elder Qin, who had just spoken, and two other elders did not stand up to express their opinions!
If the previous covert exchange had only made Bibi Dong feel that Qin Mu was somewhat troublesome, now Bibi Dong felt that Qin Mu was a real threat!
Seeing so many elders supporting Qin Mu, a sense of unease arose in Bibi Dong's heart.
This time, it seems Bibi Dong is really going to fall into Qin Mu's hands!
