Chapter 612: Bibi Dong and Ning Rongrong Trade Barbs

"Ahem, we're in public, mind your influence..."

Qin Jian, who possessed an ultra-strong sense of vigilance toward the Asura Field, had noticed the impropriety of these seats from the very beginning. Thus, he had been secretly stealing glances with the corner of his eye at Ning Rongrong, who was dressed in the attire of a Tiandou Nuhuang, and Zhu Zhuqing, who was dressed in the attire of a Head of Family. He immediately discovered the trouble Bibi Dong was deliberately stirring up.

Publicly showing affection, and doing so right in front of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing—this woman was truly no good...

Qin Jian quietly reached out to push Bibi Dong's body straight, then maintained a posture of sitting upright, eyes fixed straight ahead.

But the hand he had extended could not be pulled back...

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing widened their eyes at the same time, because Bibi Dong was currently grabbing Qin Jian's hand and playing with it!

Qin Jian wanted to pull his hand away, but was countered by Bibi Dong, who locked it in place—the kind where fingers are interlaced—making it impossible to move.

"What are your thoughts on this Tang Sect?"

Bibi Dong seemed not to notice the faint, Lemon Spirit-like gazes from those around her, looking perfectly at ease.

Qin Jian felt helpless and had no choice but to let her hold his hand, saying, "As the Tang Sect appeared as an affiliated sect of the Clear Sky Sect, even if it can still maintain partial independence, it has already been tied together with the Clear Sky Sect. If we want to suppress the Clear Sky Sect, we cannot avoid it."

"Won't that affect the relationship between you?" Bibi Dong said.

Qin Jian said, "There's no helping that. When stances are opposed, things like sentiment can only be pushed to the side."

"Brother Jian."

Qin Jian rolled his eyes to glance over and saw Ning Rongrong's lips not moving, yet her voice came through. Because it was wrapped in soul power, it could only be heard by the few people nearby.

"This time, Third Brother didn't communicate with you, nor did he communicate with me in advance, yet he suddenly kicked up this Clear Sky Sect emergence ceremony. This is a bit strange..."

She looked at Tang San, who was demonstrating Hidden Weapons in the arena, and said, "Even if the Clear Sky Sect is where he belongs, he should have let us know."

"There is only one possibility, and that is that there are greater benefits or he is being coerced, forcing him to accept this matter without considering your opinions," Bibi Dong suddenly spoke up.

"What kind of benefits could make him unable to refuse?" Ning Rongrong kept her eyes fixed straight ahead.

Qin Jian thought of the two soul bones Tang Hao had returned. If it was because of his father, then it made sense why Tang San would make such a choice.

"Rongrong, no need to overthink it. Now that we are standing on our respective sides, we should just do what we must," he said.

Ning Rongrong nodded slightly: "Brother Jian, be careful. Father said the hidden strength of the Clear Sky Sect might be extraordinary; otherwise, they wouldn't dare to challenge your Spirit Hall head-on."

Qin Jian nodded quietly.

"And that Pope, you are still suffering from heavy injuries, don't go dragging Brother Jian down..."

Ning Rongrong's spearhead suddenly turned toward Bibi Dong: "I've always heard that the Pope of the Spirit Hall is exceptionally wise, but I didn't expect her to do such a foolish thing, following Brother Jian around to act as a living target."

Zhu Zhuqing on the other side felt refreshed hearing this.

But the Pope's expression didn't change at all; she only said indifferently, "No need for the Tiandou Nuhuang to worry; Qin Jian will protect me."

Ning Rongrong gritted her pearly teeth: "The Pope has a day where she needs a man to protect her?"

Bibi Dong calmly held Qin Jian's hand: "I am also a woman, and I also want to be protected by a man."

"But as a woman, one must know the occasion. In the current situation, the Pope coming here can only drag him down..."

Zhu Zhuqing joined the battlefield: "You aren't thinking of Qin Jian by doing this."

"But..."

Bibi Dong's red lips curved up: "It was he who insisted on bringing me along, saying he would only be at ease if he protected me personally!"

Qin Jian: "......"

He already felt the chilly gazes from both sides, like sharp swords, wishing they could pierce right through him.

"Look, the Tang Sect is finished, next is the display of the Clear Sky Sect's own strength!"

He hurriedly changed the subject.

It was fortunate that they were in public and on the Clear Sky Sect's home turf, so the few of them were restrained. If it were in private...

Sigh, when will I be able to shift the conflicts under the bed to conflicts on the bed? If that were the case, it should be a bit easier, it should... probably...

"The Clear Sky Sect has kept only the elites over these twenty years," Bibi Dong suddenly said.

As the Clear Sky Sect members took the stage from lowest to highest rank to be reviewed by the Sect Master, the expressions of the leaders of various factions began to grow grave, and even Bibi Dong lost interest in trading barbs with Ning Rongrong and the others.

Initially, nearly a hundred youths came up, almost none below two rings. By the time it reached the core members, they were all three-ring, four-ring, and five-ring. Afterward, there were nearly fifty six-ring Soul Emperors, nearly twenty seven-ring Soul Saints, and eleven eight-ring Spirit Douluo.

The Spirit Masters appearing right now were already enough to crush any of the Lower Four Sects, and that was not to mention that the Clear Sky Sect's Title Douluo had not yet appeared.

Everyone cast their gaze toward Tang Xiao in the high seat.

"Hum, hum, hum..."

A row of old men suddenly stood up below his seat, all of them possessing the Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black soul ring configuration.

"Boom!"

The aura of six Title Douluo suppressed everyone present and shocked everyone's eyes.

"Six... six Title Douluo?!"

"And that doesn't even include Tang Xiao! Where did the Clear Sky Sect get so many Title Douluo!"

"No wonder they dare to challenge the Spirit Hall; it turns out they really have the foundation."

"......"

Discussions broke out around the plaza, and the commotion was constant.

"These are the other six Elders of my sect, besides the Great Elder. Please, everyone, get to know them."

Tang Xiao stood up and introduced the six Title Douluo one by one.

The attention in the arena, besides being focused on them, was on the Spirit Hall. Originally, people thought the Spirit Hall's four-person lineup was luxurious enough, but now it seemed they had been completely suppressed by the Clear Sky Sect.

The situation began to tilt in a direction unfavorable to the Spirit Hall...

Bibi Dong tightened her grip on Qin Jian's hand slightly.

"We're in trouble..." she whispered.

Qin Jian squeezed her hand calmly and said, "It's fine, I can handle it."

"This is only the power on the surface. The Clear Sky Sect must still have hidden Title Douluo, for example... Tang Hao!"

Bibi Dong said softly, "My worst-case estimate was originally that you would face Tang Hao, while the others would be left to Chrysanthemum Elder and Ghost Elder, but it seems that is not enough now; among those six, two have also reached level 95, enough to rival Chrysanthemum Elder and Ghost Elder."

"In this way, there are too many Title Douluo for you to deal with..."

Facing Bibi Dong's worry, Qin Jian just smiled slightly: "No need to think too much; the fact that I brought you here shows that I have absolute confidence, and only in this way can I protect you."

"But according to the strength you displayed before, your burst of Peak Douluo power only lasts for a few short minutes; in this kind of large-scale Title Douluo battle, you could at most make one or two Title Douluo lose their combat effectiveness... I understand!"

Bibi Dong stopped mid-sentence, the worry in her eyes suddenly turning into a look of anticipation: "It was I who didn't react in time, still referencing your strength when you were a Soul Saint, but you are now... a Spirit Douluo!"
