Chapter 177: Qian Daoliu Steps Out
Spirit City, Elder Hall!
Under a hundred-foot-tall angel statue stood a majestic old man wearing white robes with golden patterns, his hair and beard completely white.
The old man had a handsome appearance; although there were wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, it did not hinder him from being a handsome old man.
One could imagine that when the old man was young, he must have been dashing and handsome.
This old man was none other than the High Priest of the Elder Hall, one of the three super Douluo of the Douluo Continent, invincible in the sky, Qian Daoliu.
In front of Qian Daoliu, a book was floating. As his mental force surged, within just a few blinks, he finished reading all the content in the book.
After finishing, Qian Daoliu looked up and let out a sigh:
"Wretched fate!"
"This matter has finally been exposed. I don’t know what kind of sacred being this is, to be able to peek at the entire process of Bibi Dong devouring my son, and even expose her identity as the successor to the Rakshasa God."
"Although Bibi Dong devoured my son, it was my son who let her down first. Plus, she is Xiaoxue’s mother, which is why I spared her and acquiesced to her becoming the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall."
"Now that the truth is exposed, it will inevitably bring a huge shock to Xiaoxue’s heart. Her mother killed her father. If she cannot accept this truth, she will inevitably be left with psychological trauma, creating an eternal flaw in her heart."
"And there is Bibi Dong’s identity as the successor to the Rakshasa God. The Angel God and the Rakshasa God are enemies. As a servant of the Angel God, I absolutely cannot watch Bibi Dong successfully inherit the God Position of the Rakshasa God."
"As a servant of the gods, I cannot make a move against a successor to a Divinity. It seems I can only bring Xiaoxue back. As long as Xiaoxue becomes the successor of the Angel God, both being successors to Divinities, even if Xiaoxue kills Bibi Dong, it would not be breaking the rules."
"It is just bitter for this child, needing to kill her own mother with her own hands. But this is the destiny of the Angel God and the Rakshasa God."
Qian Daoliu’s expression turned solemn. With a flash, he flew out of the hall, and his voice spread far away:
"Golden Crocodile, Qingluan, Lion, Guangling, Sixth Pontiff Qianjun, Jiangmo, you all come with me. Bibi Dong is suspected of becoming a fallen Spirit Master. As the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall, there must be no such stain on her."
"If Bibi Dong cannot prove her innocence, then we can only temporarily ask her to abdicate and be imprisoned in the Douluo Hall to purify the darkness, filth, and evil in her heart."
As the words fell, six powerful auras spread out from the darkness of the Elder Hall. Six figures flashed with various lights, following behind Qian Daoliu, flying towards the outside of the hall. Six voices sounded in unison:
"As you command!"
Spirit City, Supreme Pontiff Palace!
Suddenly, seven powerful auras descended from the sky. The world changed color, wind and clouds gathered, the surrounding air became viscous, and the energy in the air ceased to flow.
Just the aura released created a barrier out of thin air, enough to suppress any expert below Titled Douluo. Even experts above Titled Douluo would have their strength suppressed by more than 30%.
This was comparable to a Domain!
Bibi Dong’s henchmen, Yue Guan and Gui Mei, originally wanted to shout about an enemy attack, but when they saw the seven figures of Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile, Lion, Qingluan, Guangling, Sixth Pontiff Qianjun, and Jiangmo descending from the sky.
They immediately bent their waists, and cold sweat dripped from their foreheads:
"Yue Guan (Gui Mei) pays respects to the High Priest, Second Priest, Third Priest, Fourth Priest, Fifth Priest, Sixth Pontiff Qianjun, and Seventh Priest!"
Qian Daoliu glanced at Yue Guan and Gui Mei, which caused their hearts to shake violently. They bent their waists even lower, as if two mountains were pressing on their shoulders. He spoke casually:
"We are here to deal with Bibi Dong’s matter. She is suspected of murdering the previous Supreme Pontiff and is no longer fit to hold the position of Supreme Pontiff."
"In the name of the seven Priests of the Elder Hall, go and summon all the Elders of the Elder Palace to come for a meeting, and vote together on whether to remove the Supreme Pontiff."
Qian Daoliu’s tone was casual, but hearing it, Yue Guan and Gui Mei’s pupils shrank. They immediately knew that the times were about to change.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei dared not delay in the slightest. The two figures flashed out to go to the Elder Palace to summon all the Elders.
After Yue Guan and Gui Mei left, Bibi Dong, wearing a purple-gold dress, wearing a nine-curved purple-gold crown, and holding a platinum scepter, walked out of the Supreme Pontiff Palace with a blank expression. Her gaze swept over the seven Priests led by Qian Daoliu, and she could not help but tremble in her heart.
Currently, Bibi Dong had level 98 spirit power, but because of the Rakshasa God’s trials, she could not exert her full strength. It was impossible for her to be Qian Daoliu’s opponent, let alone the fact that Qian Daoliu had brought the other six Priests.
This was clearly to prevent Bibi Dong from jumping over the wall in desperation. Even though Bibi Dong was the successor to the Rakshasa God, before truly becoming a god, she could not fight one against seven and defeat the seven Priests led by Qian Daoliu.
Bibi Dong had a blank expression, and her voice sounded majestically:
"High Priest, today you and the other six Priests are not in the Elder Hall in seclusion to improve your strength, but have come to my Supreme Pontiff Palace. I wonder what advice you have?"
Qian Daoliu looked at Bibi Dong, his eyes piercing, as if he wanted to see through her. However, Bibi Dong’s body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, making him unable to see clearly.
On Bibi Dong’s body, there was Rakshasa divine force covering her. Even though Qian Daoliu had the strength of a level 99 super Douluo, he was still human in essence, and naturally could not see through Bibi Dong’s essence.
Bibi Dong was able to open the Rakshasa God’s Legacy in Spirit City under Qian Daoliu’s nose, so she naturally had confidence.
If it weren’t for that damn little yellow book exposing all of Bibi Dong’s trump cards, she wouldn’t have fallen into such a passive situation.
Qian Daoliu said coldly:
"Bibi Dong, now you are suspected of murdering the previous Supreme Pontiff. We suspect that you have fallen into a fallen Spirit Master. Before you clear your name, you are no longer fit to hold the position of Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall."
"I have already asked Yue Guan and Gui Mei to go and summon the other Elders to vote on whether to remove you."
Bibi Dong cursed Qian Daoliu in her heart, but remained calm on the surface:
"If you want to condemn, why worry about not having a pretext!"
"Ever since I took the position of Supreme Pontiff, I have been diligent and conscientious, never daring to have any negligence. I have developed Spirit Hall to be thriving and have struck the fallen Spirit Masters on the continent until they have nowhere to hide."
"Now the High Priest suspects that I murdered the previous Supreme Pontiff and suspects that I am a fallen Spirit Master. This is simply nonsense."
"Justice is in the hearts of the people. I believe that my actions are seen by all the Elders, and they will make the right decision."
Although the Priests of the Elder Hall had noble status, they had no actual power. According to the system of Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu could not directly remove Bibi Dong from her position as Supreme Pontiff.
It required the nine Elders of the Elder Palace to vote. They were the daily managers of Spirit Hall. After the nine Elders voted, they could even remove the Supreme Pontiff.
Not long after, summoned by Yue Guan and Gui Mei, Devil Bear Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, Spirit Kite Douluo, Holy Dragon Douluo, and Sea Turtle Douluo all gathered.
Among the nine Titled Douluo Elders of the Elder Palace, except for Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo, the other seven Titled Douluo Elders had all gathered here.
Qian Daoliu’s gaze swept over them, and he spoke with a serious and solemn tone:
"Except for Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo, seven of the nine Elders are already here. With you seven, it is enough to represent the overall will of Spirit Hall."
"Now Bibi Dong is suspected of murdering the previous Supreme Pontiff, and I suspect that she has fallen into a fallen Spirit Master, and she is no longer fit to continue to serve as the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall. You express your stance, whether to remove her and temporarily imprison her in the Douluo Hall."
"Then we will investigate Bibi Dong. We will not wrong any good person, and we will not let go of any bad person."
"As long as Bibi Dong is innocent, she will eventually come out to serve as the Supreme Pontiff. If Bibi Dong is suspicious, then let her be imprisoned in the Douluo Hall, purifying the darkness, filth, and evil in her heart."
The seven Titled Douluo Elders at the scene looked at Bibi Dong, then at Qian Daoliu, and then at the six Priests beside Qian Daoliu who were eager to try.
Almost without much hesitation, they made a decision:
"Agree to temporarily remove the Supreme Pontiff!"
Even Yue Guan and Gui Mei, the two loyal dogs under Bibi Dong, raised their hands to agree to remove Bibi Dong from the position of Supreme Pontiff.
Bibi Dong saw this scene and was greatly stimulated. She looked at these Elders in disbelief:
"You... do not hesitate at all?"
Bibi Dong was very devastated in her heart. She thought that she had won the support of these Elders. Even if Qian Daoliu came out of the mountain, these Elders would definitely be willing to stand with her.
The reality slapped her hard!
These Elders, without exception, chose Qian Daoliu without any hesitation.
It was as if Bibi Dong’s solicitation was a joke!
Especially Yue Guan and Gui Mei. The look in Bibi Dong’s eyes when she looked at them was like two knives, almost tearing their bodies apart.
Bibi Dong overestimated herself and underestimated the prestige of the Qian family in Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong had only been Supreme Pontiff for ten years, but the Qian family had been Supreme Pontiffs for generations, for over ten thousand years.
Even if Bibi Dong promoted some people, if they were really asked to choose, nine out of ten would still choose the Qian family.
Unless Bibi Dong selected geniuses from the commoners and cultivated them for a hundred years, cultivating a bunch of Titled Douluo, Spirit Douluo, Spirit Saint, Spirit Emperor... and completely replaced the blood of Spirit Hall.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to completely erase the influence of the Qian family.
After all, even Bibi Dong was able to successfully serve as the Supreme Pontiff because she was Qian Xunji’s Disciple. She was deeply tied to the Qian family.
Loyalty to Bibi Dong and loyalty to the Qian family were originally a choice. If they had to be separated into two choices, they would still choose to be loyal to the Qian family.
Not to mention that Bibi Dong was not clean now, entangled with Yu Xiaogang, murdered the previous Supreme Pontiff, her own teacher Qian Xunji, and was also the successor to an evil god, the Rakshasa God, a presence that was almost going to destroy the continent.
Therefore, removing Bibi Dong became an inevitable choice.
Bibi Dong was so angry that her chest heaved violently. Murderous intent boiled in her heart, and she wished she could kill all these people in front of her.
At the beginning, they swore loyalty to her, making her really think that she had completely controlled Spirit Hall.
As a result, now that Qian Daoliu came out, these Titled Douluo Elders all defected, and none of them stood firmly by her side.
Bibi Dong’s lungs were about to explode with anger. The platinum scepter in her hand was deformed by her, and she didn’t know how many platinum scepters had been deformed by her.
In the end, Bibi Dong swept her eyes over everyone present, Qian Daoliu, and the other six Priests, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and the other Five Elders.
She screamed sharply:
"Qian Daoliu, you will definitely regret it!"
Qian Daoliu was not surprised by this scene at all. Including Bibi Dong, which of these Priests and Elders present had he not watched grow up?
A Bibi Dong wanted to challenge his authority. Unless Bibi Dong really became a Divinity.
Otherwise, it was still too early!
Qian Daoliu said lightly:
"Bibi Dong, you are no longer the Supreme Pontiff!"
