Chapter 214 The Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qin Mu!
Qin Mu's words won the approval of the vast majority of elders present. Many elders nodded and even applauded to show their approval of Qin Mu.
If the day of war were to actually come, these elders would certainly not back down.
However, who would be willing to fight to the death if they could live a peaceful and stable life as a high-ranking elder in the Spirit Hall?
Regardless of winning or losing, the consequences range from minor injuries to serious injuries such as losing an arm or leg, being bedridden due to severe injuries, or even losing one's life.
Bibi Dong glanced blankly at Sword Douluo and Yu Yuanzhen, then slumped into her chair as if she had lost all means of competition.
So that's what he was planning!
Bibi Dong knew in her heart that once Qin Mu revealed this move, she would have no chance of turning the tide.
Before this, Bibi Dong left the impression of being capable, but behind the vigorous development of the Spirit Hall was the hard work and dedication of these elders.
Some elders even lost their lives because of this.
In contrast, Qin Mu's approach was much gentler.
The current soul-hunting operation between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family is a prime example.
Seeing that the trend was inevitable, Qian Daoliu glanced at Qin Mu with great satisfaction, then stood up and said.
"In that case, the resolution is passed! Qin Mu is appointed as the new Pope of the Spirit Hall! Hu Liena will temporarily serve as the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall!"
At this moment, one of the elders beside Qian Daoliu glanced at Bibi Dong, then turned to Qian Daoliu.
"Although the resolution has been passed, everyone has seen Bibi Dong's abilities, and Qin Mu has just taken office, so there are still many things he doesn't understand."
"Since Bibi Dong is also Qin Mu's teacher, I suggest that she become Qin Mu's assistant."
"The Spirit Hall doesn't have any suitable positions right now. We can't just let the former Pope become an elder, can we?"
The elder spoke very eloquently.
On the surface, it seems like they gave Bibi Dong a way out, but that's not actually the case.
As the former Pope and also Qin Mu's teacher, it was unacceptable for Bibi Dong, a woman who had long held a high position, to be serving as Qin Mu's deputy.
Most importantly, the elder's intention seemed to be to make Bibi Dong the second-in-command of the Spirit Hall, but he did not give her any real title.
As for Hu Liena, after Qin Mu became Pope, she should not be able to become the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall anymore.
However, this consideration was naturally intended to suppress Bibi Dong's arrogance.
The once high and mighty Pope lost everything in an instant.
However, both of her disciples held high-ranking positions in the Spirit Hall.
Such a humiliating disgrace caused even Bibi Dong, with her usually reserved nature, to feel her chest heave violently.
Just as everyone was waiting for Bibi Dong to lash out, she calmly stood up and bowed in the direction of Qian Daoliu.
"We will follow the Grand Priest's arrangements. Nana, let's go."
After saying that, Bibi Dong immediately turned and left, but before she left, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Seeing Bibi Dong leave, Hu Liena glanced anxiously in the direction of Qian Daoliu. Seeing that Qian Daoliu did not speak, she looked at Qin Mu and then jogged to catch up with Bibi Dong.
After the two left the Elder Hall and walked a short distance further, Bibi Dong suddenly turned pale and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Upon seeing this, Hu Liena quickly stepped forward to support Bibi Dong, her face filled with anxiety and worry.
"Excellent! Excellent Qin Mu! Excellent Elders Council!"
Bibi Dong was filled with intense resentment, and her hatred continued to grow.
"Teacher..."
"It's alright! If they want it, then give it to them! The one who stands at the end is the victor!"
With Hu Liena's support, Bibi Dong left the Spirit Hall with intense resentment.
After forcing Bibi Dong away, Qian Daoliu was no longer afraid of any tricks she might play.
Tang Chen's whereabouts are unknown, and Poseidon lives on Sea God Island, never leaving his home. There is no one on the continent who can rival him now.
With the addition of the six chief priests of the Hall of Offerings, it can be said that Bibi Dong is now completely under their control.
"Unless there is nothing else, this meeting of elders is adjourned! Elders, please continue with your duties!"
Qian Daoliu looked around and, finding no one to speak, left the Elder Hall.
Seeing Qian Daoliu leave, the others stood up one by one and walked towards the outside of the hall.
Of course, most of the elders would still come to Qin Mu's side to congratulate him on becoming the new Pope of the Spirit Hall; this was just basic courtesy.
Of course, Elder Qin, who just spoke up for Bibi Dong, and two or three of Bibi Dong's confidants had no need to curry favor with Qin Mu.
In their minds, Bibi Dong's downfall meant that the Spirit Hall would no longer have a place for them.
What they will face next is suppression, or even elimination, by the new Pope!
Qin Mu responded to the congratulations from the elders one by one, glancing at Elder Qin and the others who were walking in a daze, and he already had a plan in mind.
After declining the Spirit Hall elders' further arrangements, Qin Mu saw them off and immediately went to Ning Rongrong and the other two.
"Rongrong, Senior Sword Douluo, it's been a long time! This must be Thunder Douluo, right? I've heard of him before, and seeing him today, his aura is indeed extraordinary!"
Ning Rongrong and Sword Douluo returned Qin Mu's greetings, and Yu Yuanzhen also greeted them with a smile.
"Heroes have always emerged from among the young! I originally thought my two children were already considered prodigies. I never imagined that compared to Pope Qin, they were like stars compared to the moon!"
Before today, Yu Yuanzhen might not have been so polite, but now it's different.
Before this, Qin Mu was at most a genius with exceptional talent, a key talent cultivated by the Spirit Hall, and a future candidate for Pope.
However, none of these identities are substantive ones that can be presented.
Now, Qin Mu has acquired an astonishing identity: the Pope of the Spirit Hall!
If such a status were to be revealed, there would be no more than five people on the entire continent who could compare to him, including Qian Daoliu and two other level-99 titled Douluos from the same era.
In comparison, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, one of the three major sects, is indeed intimidating, and Yu Yuanzhen is the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family.
To put it bluntly, such a status is nothing compared to Qin Mu's in the present day.
Putting everything else aside, the presence of Ling Yuan by Qin Mu's side alone is enough to give Yu Yuanzhen a major headache.
If Yu Yuanzhen still dared to act like a senior at this point, it would be tantamount to courting death.
