Chapter 178: The Source of All Problems, Yu Xiaogang
Spirit Hall!
Under the witness of the Elders and numerous high-ranking officials, Bibi Dong, who had been removed from the position of Supreme Pontiff, was imprisoned within Douluo Hall.
No matter how much Bibi Dong resisted, she could not defy the current Qian Daoliu before she had achieved godhood.
With just a single appearance, Qian Daoliu reclaimed the authority of Spirit Hall that Bibi Dong had held for ten long years.
But to be honest, he was not particularly keen on power now.
All he wanted to see was his granddaughter become a god!
Qian Daoliu then swept his gaze across everyone present:
"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, release an announcement in the name of Spirit Hall. State that Bibi Dong, suspected of conspiring to murder the previous Supreme Pontiff and suspected of being a Fallen Spirit Master, has now been removed from her position as Supreme Pontiff."
"She is currently being held in Douluo Hall, awaiting an internal investigation by Spirit Hall."
"If all this is true, we will absolutely not tolerate such evil. If it is false, we will clear her name."
"Until everything is clarified, I, Qian Daoliu, in my capacity as the High Priest of the Elder Hall, will temporarily act as the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall."
"With my past prestige and reputation, it should be enough to calm the current public outcry and provide an explanation to the Two Great Empires and the various Spirit Master Sects and Families."
"Our Spirit Hall has always been the Holy Land for the continent’s Spirit Masters, taking the maintenance of order as our responsibility. With the Angel God above, may the light forever shine upon the continent!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei, those two loyal dogs under Bibi Dong’s command, naturally shifted their allegiance.
Hearing Qian Daoliu’s order, they bowed with utmost respect and replied:
"As you command!"
As soon as they finished speaking, Yue Guan and Gui Mei instantly vanished.
A flicker of longing then passed through Qian Daoliu’s eyes:
"Sixth Pontiff Qianjun, Demon Subduing Douluo, you two brothers take Little Xue’s body double and go to the Heaven Dou Empire in secret to bring Little Xue back."
"As the High Priest of the Elder Hall, I cannot act as the Supreme Pontiff forever. This position still needs someone to take over."
"Compared to the plan to seize the Heaven Dou Empire, the vacancy of Spirit Hall’s Supreme Pontiff is a more serious issue."
"Bring Little Xue back. I will personally teach her to Cultivate and let her strength grow rapidly until she is capable of serving as the Supreme Pontiff."
"As for the original plan to seize the empire, it’s best if it succeeds, but it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present felt a chill in their hearts.
Although Qian Daoliu didn’t say it explicitly, it was no different from saying it openly: he clearly had no intention of returning the position of Supreme Pontiff to Bibi Dong.
From Qian Daoliu’s meaning, he wanted to bring Qian Renxue back to be groomed as the next generation’s Supreme Pontiff.
As long as Qian Renxue’s strength met the standard, she could become the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall with his support.
But was there a problem with that?
There was no problem at all!
Qian Renxue’s grandfather, Qian Daoliu, was once the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall; her father, Qian Xunji, was once the Supreme Pontiff; and her mother, Bibi Dong, was also once the Supreme Pontiff.
With such a prestigious lineage, Qian Renxue was more than qualified to hold the position of Supreme Pontiff.
The only thing she lacked was sufficient strength.
However, under Qian Daoliu’s personal tutelage, her strength would surely increase by leaps and bounds.
Therefore, none of those present raised any objections.
Thousand Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo also readily agreed and quickly set off for the Heaven Dou Empire.
After arranging everything, Qian Daoliu waved his hand at the crowd and said:
"Alright, you may all leave. There’s no need to stay with this old man. Go and attend to your duties."
"Additionally, soothe the emotions of those below. Do not let the removal of Bibi Dong from her position affect the normal operations of Spirit Hall."
As his voice fell, the remaining people all bowed respectfully and said:
"As you command!"
Then, the Elders and high-ranking officials dispersed.
...
That night, Heaven Dou City, Crown Princes Residence!
Xue Qinghe was alone in the study, with seven or eight empty wine bottles on the floor, slumped over the table in a drunken stupor.
During this period, Xue Qinghe had suffered unprecedented inner torment.
Her father had forced himself upon her mother.
Her mother had killed her father.
Although the root of all this was still her mother Bibi Dong’s initial betrayal of Spirit Hall.
But caught between the two, Xue Qinghe didn’t know who she should hate.
She now wished she had never been born; perhaps then she wouldn’t have this pain.
"Ahhh, why? Why did it turn out like this?"
"Who caused my tragedy? And who should I hate?"
Xue Qinghe laughed miserably.
She then closed her eyes, replaying the story from beginning to end. Suddenly, she snapped her eyes open, her gaze projecting an unprecedented killing intent:
"Yu Xiaogang!"
"It’s all because of this damn bastard. If he hadn’t seduced Bibi Dong and made her think of betraying Spirit Hall, Father wouldn’t have treated her so extremely. Perhaps my entire tragedy could have been completely rewritten."
"This beast-like thing, a piece of trash who can’t break through the 29th level of spirit power. I must have him dead; I will tear him into ten thousand pieces."
"And the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, to have raised such a despicable fellow like Yu Xiaogang, they certainly can’t be anything good either."
"Damn Yu Xiaogang, damn Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, I will kill you all, kill you all!"
Xue Qinghe gnashed her teeth, the killing intent in her eyes almost becoming tangible. she had finally found an object for her hatred.
The source of all problems was that damn Yu Xiaogang.
Just then!
The door to the study opened. Xue Qinghe frowned and looked over, about to say not to disturb her if there was nothing important.
Instead, she saw Thousand Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo walking into the study with a young man who looked ninety percent like her.
Xue Qinghe stood up unsteadily, her face still showing the haze of intoxication, and asked with a look of confusion:
"Elder Thousand Jun, Elder Demon Subduing, why are you two here?"
Seeing Xue Qinghe—or rather, Qian Renxue—this drunk, Thousand Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo felt a pang of heartache. They had watched her grow up and had long since regarded her as their own granddaughter.
Thousand Jun Douluo said with a worried expression:
"Little Xue, why are you so drunk! It seems that knowing about your father and mother has indeed dealt you a heavy blow."
Demon Subduing Douluo said with a serious face:
"Little Xue, Bibi Dong’s position as Supreme Pontiff has been revoked by the High Priest. Now the High Priest is temporarily acting in that role."
"But this is not a long-term solution. Spirit Hall cannot be without a Supreme Pontiff. According to the High Priest’s instructions, you no longer need to execute the plan to seize the empire. Leave the remaining matters to him."
"It’s best if it succeeds, but it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t."
"Little Xue, come back with us. The High Priest wants to personally guide your Cultivation. Once your strength has improved, you will be qualified to take the position of Supreme Pontiff."
Hearing these words, Xue Qinghe shook her head vigorously, using her spirit power to dispel the drunkenness in her body, which quickly cleared her mind.
She looked at her body double. The double looked ninety percent like her; if they kept a low profile, they shouldn’t be easily exposed.
However, the other party was not her, after all. Once she left and let the other party take her place to execute the plan, whether the empire could be successfully seized would truly depend on fate.
Having been an undercover agent for ten full years, Qian Renxue’s most beautiful youth had been spent in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Asking her to give up the plan now was like negating all her efforts, making her feel exceptionally uncomfortable.
However, Qian Renxue eventually agreed:
"Fine, Elder Thousand Jun, Elder Demon Subduing, I will go back with you."
"I have wasted ten whole years of Cultivation time. Continuing the plan will only waste more of it. I am willing to go back and receive Grandfather’s guidance."
"The day my strength is sufficient and I take office as the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall, I will definitely tear Yu Xiaogang into ten thousand pieces. And the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—I will make them completely disappear from the continent."
Hearing that Qian Renxue was willing to return, Thousand Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo were both very happy.
As for her wanting to kill Yu Xiaogang and destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, those were minor matters.
For Qian Renxue, although going back like this was equivalent to erasing ten years of hard work.
But now, with anger rising in her heart, she only wanted to seek complete justice for her tragic life.
The love-hate entanglement of her parents was all because of Yu Xiaogang.
Therefore, Yu Xiaogang had to die!
Afterward, the body double stayed behind, and Qian Renxue left Heaven Dou City with Thousand Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo.
