When there are many troublesome people, the atmosphere becomes exceptionally tense.
Before anyone could warm up the stage, Thousand-Weight Douluo was the first to jump out.
"High Priest, he, along with His Holiness the Pope and the others, disobeyed your orders and insisted on forcibly taking Spirit Hall's property for their own use."
He was here to file a formal complaint. Since he hadn't obtained the treasures dropped by the demonized Spirit Beasts earlier, he seized this opportunity to make a big deal out of it.
The first to react emotionally was actually Xiao Wu, who didn't belong to Spirit Hall; she had been present for the entire duration.
From her perspective, Qian Daoliu and his subordinates truly seemed like hypocrites.
"Stealing someone else's things and still acting like you're in the right? Besides, you just helped the wicked escape. No matter how you look at it, you aren't good people."
Xiao Wu's straightforward accusation was quite powerful; she spoke her mind without hesitation.
This caused Thousand-Weight Douluo's anger to ignite instantly. Compared to Qian Daoliu, he couldn't keep his composure at all.
Beside him, Demon-Subduing Douluo wanted to pull him back. After all, they had to give Qian Daoliu the respect a leader deserved; the posturing should be left to him.
But in the next second, Thousand-Weight Douluo's fist was about to smash into Xiao Wu's face.
However, he wouldn't succeed. Chu Feng would never allow such a thing to happen.
"You want to touch my person?"
Chu Feng spoke dominantly and used Teleportation to appear by Xiao Wu's side. His powerful aura even caused snow to fall on Mount Buzhou once again.
Then he reached out and grabbed Thousand-Weight Douluo's arm, giving it a gentle push that sent Thousand-Weight Douluo flying far away.
With Thousand-Weight Douluo's strength, he couldn't even stabilize his own breath. He could only roll across the ground, sweeping up a large patch of flying snow in an extremely wretched state.
Qian Daoliu couldn't even bear to look. His face was stiff, and his expression of disappointment in his subordinate's failure was so intense that his eyes almost couldn't stay level.
"Big brother, are you alright?"
Demon-Subduing Douluo was the Seventh Priest and also Thousand-Weight's younger brother, so naturally, he was very concerned. Although he noticed Qian Daoliu was very displeased, he still went to help.
At this moment, Qian Daoliu forced himself to remain calm and spat out, "Hmph, useless trash."
Seeing this, Xiao Wu fixed her gaze on Chu Feng, her admiration for him reaching a new level.
Qian Renxue stepped forward of her own accord and criticized, "Grandfather, I'll call you that one last time. To be honest, you and your people have made me very disappointed. In my childhood memories, you seemed decent, but now I understand that you are merely blinded by self-interest."
She understood the future and saw the present clearly; it was certain she would have this realization. Moreover, Chu Feng had taught her well, stimulating her most rational side.
However, for Qian Daoliu, he was becoming restless. An uncontrollable rage was about to erupt; he could not accept that the sole bloodline of the Qian family was turning against him like this.
"You really plan to go with this boy? The future glory of Spirit Hall rests entirely on you. Doing this is nothing less than spinning a cocoon to trap yourself."
Qian Daoliu's words sounded nice, but why didn't he do it himself? He was just a smooth talker who didn't understand the hardships of the legwork.
Bibi Dong couldn't stand it anymore and directly retorted, "You can even use your own son's life as a chip for your private desires. What right do you have to lecture us here?"
This was true. Qian Xunji's death hadn't changed Qian Daoliu's so-called dream of a great legacy; he firmly believed in it and used Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong accordingly.
!!!
The Supreme Pontiff is crazy! She dares to talk back to the High Priest?
Helping a stranger like Chu Feng into power was already a serious crime; doing this now would surely be a capital offense!
This woman is too reckless. Doesn't she know that the High Priest is currently the person closest to God!
Exactly, she probably won't be able to stay as the Supreme Pontiff anymore. Spirit Hall won't tolerate her!
Without Spirit Hall, how could Bibi Dong have achieved what she has today? She is truly unreasonable!
...The inner thoughts of Ghost, Demon-Subduing, and Thousand-Weight—the three Douluo—were incredibly rich, but they seemed to have spoken them aloud. Because as they harbored these emotions, their spirit power fluctuated so violently it was as if it were speaking for them. Thus, they stood firmly on Qian Daoliu's side, completely tearing off their mask of hypocrisy toward His Holiness the Pope.
Bibi Dong understood clearly now. Spirit Hall had been under Qian Daoliu's total control many years ago; even after decades, why would he allow others to manipulate it? She, the Supreme Pontiff, was merely a tool for him to use.
Furthermore, she had lost faith in Spirit Hall when she attained godhood. Under Chu Feng's persuasion, she had also let go of the past, so now there was even less reason to support Spirit Hall.
Thus, she said indifferently, "With things as they are, it seems we are going our separate ways."
"You dare to break with Spirit Hall?"
Qian Daoliu was still very confident, even daring to ask a counter-question.
Additionally, Thousand-Weight Douluo grew impatient and added, "If you have such thoughts, then I'll have to clean house on behalf of the High Priest."
"Are you sure? Then I'll have to see who cleans whom!"
Chu Feng cracked his wrists, and immediately, heavy snow began to fall. His aura influenced Mount Buzhou too heavily.
"Everyone, don't be impulsive. We're all one family, we can talk things through. Whether it's the Hall Master, the High Priest, or His Holiness the Pope, everyone is doing it for Spirit Hall."
Devil Bear Douluo had been standing nearby, trembling for a long time, but his mind wasn't very sharp; he wanted to act as a mediator.
Qian Daoliu spoke again, "My Spirit Hall will not accept people who defy the Will of God. I am coming back to rectify Spirit Hall."
Ghost Douluo immediately flattered him, "The High Priest is wise! Why don't you all hurry and fight for a chance to stay in Spirit Hall?"
"With you lot like this, why would we stay in Spirit Hall? I'm quitting now. High Priest, go ahead and be a good dog."
Chu Feng had long had this idea, and he felt extremely satisfied at this moment. Leaving Spirit Hall was a great relief to him.
At the same time, as soon as he finished speaking, the dog hadn't even gotten anxious, but the lapdog did.
Thousand-Weight Douluo directly summoned his Tool Spirit, the Coiling Dragon Rod, and swung it down from the air—completely unreasonable.
The faint blue light covering the rod reflected his distorted face. After being hit earlier, he hadn't learned his lesson at all; instead, he was even more determined to show his loyalty to Spirit Hall.
This was a Priest, the most parasitic class in Spirit Hall. Chu Feng hadn't misjudged them; he had always held this opinion.
It seemed the Douluo Continent was rotten everywhere, so Chu Feng wouldn't be polite anymore.
"Seeking death? I'll grant your wish."
Chu Feng summoned his Spirit, Xingtian, but only revealed a phantom from the shoulders up. Using this much power to deal with him was actually overkill.
Boom~
The rod smashed down, but Xingtian shook his body, jolting him and stopping him in mid-air. Then, he brought down his axe, which shrank in the air and landed right in Chu Feng's hand.
Chu Feng raised the axe, swirling with brilliant golden light, and slashed at Thousand-Weight Douluo. This single strike directly vaporized his body.
Qian Daoliu and Demon-Subduing Douluo wanted to step in to see if they could save his soul, but that was naturally impossible.
Because Chu Feng was heartless, just like Qian Daoliu's pettiness; this was called returning the favor.
Then the axe was retracted, Xingtian faded away, and not a single trace of Thousand-Weight Douluo's existence remained in the air. His soul had likely been split into particles.
