Qian Daoliu's expression immediately stiffened. He then carefully scrutinized Chu Feng, the so-called Sect Leader of Spirit Hall.
He was very curious where Chu Feng got the confidence to dare scold him so bluntly.
Could it be that he, the dignified actual top person in charge of Spirit Hall, had no prestige at all?
"Do you know that if you dare to be disrespectful to me, you might find it difficult to move an inch on the continent in the future?"
His arrogance became even more pronounced; after all, he possessed the nickname 'Invincible in the Sky'.
He was one of the three strongest people in the world before the spiritual energy of heaven and earth flooded the Douluo Continent, and he was the guardian of the Angelic bloodline.
Naturally, he would habitually look down on anyone.
But Chu Feng was different; what he loved most was opposing authority.
And regardless of the other party's stance, this was Chu Feng's code of conduct.
"Oh? Could it be you want me to be grateful to you, a bystander who watched from behind the scenes?"
Chu Feng's sharp counter-question was more stirring than the cold brought by the snow filling the sky.
In an instant, a sharp glint flickered in Qian Daoliu's golden eyes. He was dissatisfied, but he did not dare to strike.
Because the spiritual energy at Mount Buzhou was currently dissipating, and the mountain itself showed signs of collapsing.
A minute ago, the remnants of Tang Hao's demonic energy on this battlefield, the Dao power of the giant eye, and even the divine force radiated by Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong had all vanished without a trace.
This was Chu Feng's masterpiece; his Primordial Chaos Aura had invisibly occupied everything here.
Qian Daoliu naturally understood what this meant; at the very least, he knew that facing Chu Feng would be a grueling battle.
At this moment, Qian Renxue stood forward. Her face was somewhat disheveled, as her Angel God power had suffered a major setback for the first time.
Because of this, she had more suspicions about Qian Daoliu. She questioned, "The Angelic bloodline flowing in me must be very important to Grandfather, right? Do you want to use me now?"
There were some signs of this described in the original work. Since Qian Daoliu could not become the Angel God himself, he put all his focus on Qian Renxue. He manipulated things from behind the scenes and even gave the green light during the God Trials just to satisfy his own selfish desires; he never truly respected Qian Renxue's own opinions.
Furthermore, his sudden appearance now to point fingers was indeed suspicious and even somewhat repulsive.
Qian Daoliu's face had turned somewhat gloomy. He never expected that his only hopeful successor would question him. He wondered if Chu Feng had fed her some kind of potion for her to become this decisive.
"I see. He helped you become a god, so you speak for him? But you don't know that I am now the spokesperson, the agent of the gods. Following him will only cut off your future."
No wonder Qian Daoliu was so calm upon his appearance; based on these words, he had a full grasp of the previous situation.
His tone was also sufficiently confident and sufficiently shameless.
Bibi Dong said mockingly, "Has the High Priest found a way out for Spirit Hall? Are you also worried that your position won't be secure once the world's situation changes?"
Chu Feng followed up on her point: "So you want to defect to those Douluo Old Gods? Become their lackey?"
Devil Bear Douluo listened in confusion but nodded honestly, "Oh, so that's how it is."
This caused Qian Daoliu's face to flare with anger, and even his golden hair vibrated.
"You are seeking your own deaths! Provoking the gods will not lead to a good end. Furthermore, if you knew who took Tang Hao's remnant soul, you definitely wouldn't want to conflict with him. I am communicating with you while upholding the will of the strong."
Qian Daoliu really wasn't ashamed of his words, setting up those Old Gods as a foil while making excuses for himself.
Chu Feng didn't indulge him either, saying directly, "It wouldn't be the Primal Angel God, would it? Or perhaps the Asura God, or the Sea God? Only those few are wretched and sinister, not even daring to show their faces. Do they even deserve to be called gods?"
..."Achoo."
Inside the reception room of the Angel God Temple, the Primal Angel God sneezed twice in a row. She knew someone was speaking ill of her.
In the God Realm, just like in the human world, they believed in this. She was a bit curious about who had such audacity.
Then, two uninvited guests arrived at the door. It was the Asura God and the Sea God, the latter carrying a cylindrical iron canister in his hand.
"How was the nectar I sent you last time?" The Primal Angel God made some polite small talk.
The Sea God frowned. He thought of Chu Feng again and said impatiently, "No nonsense. We're here for serious business."
Thud~
He placed the iron canister on the table, and for a moment, a faint blue light flickered inside.
The Primal Angel God asked, "This is?"
"The soul of Tang San's father. That man Qian Daoliu is quite sensible. With you nagging him a few times, he indeed set aside his emotions toward his mortal enemy, allowing me to obtain this thing."
The Asura God spoke smoothly, but his mouth was slightly twisted. He was likely thinking about his unstable state of mind after just taking this item from Chu Feng's hands.
Seeing him like this, the Sea God glanced at him with a bit of complaint: "What? Still concerned about that ant? He can't flip the heavens. We just need to focus on completing our plan."
"Plan? I'm helping you, yet you haven't told me anything. Not long ago, you discussed resurrecting Tang San with me and so many God Kings, and now it's his turn?"
The Primal Angel God was somewhat unhappy. After all, she had used the majesty of the Angel God to secretly guide Qian Daoliu to become the so-called spokesperson of the gods. As it turned out, she was only now finding out there was a plan. Thinking about how everyone was a First-rank Deity, this feeling of being excluded made her even more dissatisfied.
The Sea God quickly explained, "A plan must always consider the big picture. The power of Dao methods, origins, and laws is becoming more and more prevalent. We absolutely cannot let the Douluo Continent slip from our hands easily. So, let's set aside everyone's previous conflicts for now and only talk about the present."
"Then what's the use of this iron canister? I heard you spent more than half of your divine force to make it? Does this also relate to the plan?" the Primal Angel God said.
The Sea God acted profound: "That depends on how the overall situation changes next."
...Back to Qian Daoliu, the veins on his forehead bulged slightly, and his face darkened completely.
As the spokesperson of the gods, how could he allow people from Spirit Hall to desecrate the gods? This was a lack of respect for the god he believed in most.
He first scolded, "Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, you are also noble deities. How can you be so stubbornly unrepentant?"
Then he looked at Chu Feng and added, "Do you wish to suffer divine punishment? Those are true gods, not the gods you imagine!"
Heh heh!
Chu Feng found it somewhat amusing and laughed: "I've already killed gods before. I don't care. At worst, I'll just kill more. I'm just worried the High Priest won't have the chance to see it by then."
"You... you are truly audacious. Gods are not something you can reach."
It seemed Qian Daoliu likely didn't know the fact that Chu Feng had committed God Slaying; that made things much more interesting.
Furthermore, his attitude made Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong look on with faces full of disdain. They already didn't have a good impression of the High Priest, and now they completely wanted to draw a clear line.
At this moment, Qian Daoliu intentionally looked back, as if he were hinting at something.
Then, the auras of several low-level god-grade beings emerged. They were Qianjun, Demon-Subduing Douluo, Porcupinefish, and Ghost Douluo.
