Chapter 372: Bibi Dong's Despair and Hatred

"Teacher, what is wrong?" Hu Liena noticed that Bibi Dong's expression seemed somewhat off.

She had seen her teacher angry many times, but this was the first time she had seen such intense, chilling killing intent.

"Nana, cancel your plan to force the Gu Lei Kingdom to surrender!" Bibi Dong raised her eyes, her gaze filled with icy killing intent. "I want Nan Feihuang to die without a whole corpse!"

"What?" Hu Liena was startled upon hearing this; she did not know why Bibi Dong would suddenly issue such a resolute order.

The main issue was that this order held absolutely no benefit for the Spirit Hall. According to her original plan, the chances of subjugating the Gu Lei Kingdom were quite high, and obtaining the Gu Lei Kingdom would be equivalent to gaining a powerful combat force like the Profound Ice Douluo.

There was also a natural granary; once the Spirit Hall established its own nation in the future, the provisions for the great army would be secured.

But if Nan Feihuang were killed, the Gu Lei Kingdom would inevitably become locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Spirit Hall, and the Profound Ice Douluo and Poison Douluo would certainly stand firmly on the side of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Not only that, but Qian Renxue would also develop a rift with them, or even harbor immense hatred.

"Teacher, please reconsider. Our policy toward the Gu Lei Kingdom has always been to prioritize subjugation. Now is the perfect time; if we rashly kill Nan Feihuang, it will bring a hundred harms and not a single benefit," Hu Liena hurriedly advised.

The many Elders below regained their composure and immediately chimed in, "Your Majesty the Pope, please reconsider!"

They were also confused. How had Nan Feihuang offended Bibi Dong? They had no interaction with each other at all, so why must he be killed? Was it just because he was a genius?

Yet, if such a genius could be recruited, that would surely be better than killing him.

Everyone here was from the highest level of the Spirit Hall, and they were all well aware of the situation between Nan Feihuang and Qian Renxue.

That Nan Feihuang loved Qian Renxue deeply and also had a good relationship with the Offering Hall.

To eliminate a genius who could have been recruited for no reason was a loss for the Spirit Hall, and it would also force the Profound Ice Douluo into a life-or-death confrontation with the Spirit Hall; this loss was simply too great.

"All of you, shut your mouths." Bibi Dong's gaze was incomparably cold. "My mind is made up. No one is allowed to defy me on this matter. I know that all you Elders have just returned from a great battle; rest assured, I will not send you immediately. We shall speak after you have rested well."

"I will not rashly launch a war between the Spirit Hall and the Gu Lei Kingdom either, but rather lure Nan Feihuang out and kill him alone when he is isolated. There will be no need to launch a war as we did with the two great sects."

"But, Your Majesty the Pope..."

The Elders still wanted to persuade her, but Bibi Dong roared, "Get out, all of you!"

At this moment, she even unleashed the killing aura of her Killing God Domain, scaring even her direct subordinates like Ju and Gui into silence.

The several Elders slunk away from the Pope Palace.

"The Pope has gone mad. Why issue such a brainless order? Doing this not only brings no benefits but will completely enrage the Young Master and cause internal strife within the Spirit Hall," said the Demon Bear Douluo. He also knew deeply how important Nan Feihuang was in Qian Renxue's heart. "No, I cannot let the Pope be so arbitrary. I must go to the Offering Hall to find the Great Elder. At this time, only the Great Elder can stop the Pope."

"Demon Bear, I will go with you." The Ghost Leopard Douluo followed.

He and the Demon Bear Douluo were direct subordinates of the Offering Hall, hailed as the Elders closest to the position of Offering, and possessed the authority to enter and exit the Offering Hall at any time to report directly to Qian Daoliu.

Inside the Pope Palace, after all the Elders had left.

Bibi Dong could no longer hold back; she was on the verge of a breakdown, biting her lower lip tightly, her hand covering her eyes.

She did not cry out loud, but the tears would not stop. "Teacher, what exactly happened? You would suddenly make the decision to kill Nan Feihuang; there must be some reason, right?" Hu Liena asked with concern. It was the first time she had seen her teacher look so heartbroken and desperate.

"Xiao Gang... Xiao Gang is dead, killed by Ci Xue!" Bibi Dong choked out.

It turned out that the battle report submitted by Luoerdi Yala contained a detailed record of the merits of each Elder in this operation.

Ci Xue had also reported his killing of the Grandmaster in it.

He did not know about the past between the Grandmaster and Bibi Dong; he only thought that by killing the Grandmaster and Liu Erlong, he had prevented them from passing information to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, which was, of course, a meritorious deed.

Why not report something that could accumulate merit for himself? "Xiao Gang? Could it be the Grandmaster?" After all, Hu Liena was Bibi Dong's only confidante, and she had heard a little about the past between her and the Grandmaster.

She immediately took the intelligence from Bibi Dong's hand and read it carefully.

It was written very clearly that the Grandmaster had indeed been killed by Ci Xue, and Liu Erlong had been taken out along the way.

However, she felt that Ci Xue had done nothing wrong. In that situation, killing the person delivering the information to ensure the smooth execution of the plan was the most correct choice and the most loyal to the Spirit Hall.

But she did not know how to persuade Bibi Dong now; after all, having lost the person she loved, no one was in more pain than her at this moment.

No matter how powerful Bibi Dong was, she was still a woman. Often, in a woman's heart, emotions easily override reason.

Bibi Dong was exactly like that.

Yet, some things had to be said. "Teacher, even if the Grandmaster died at the hands of Ci Xue, Ci Xue was only doing his duty for our Spirit Hall. Moreover, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Nan Feihuang. I ask that you reconsider."

"Nothing to do with him?" Bibi Dong said, filled with hatred. "How could it have nothing to do with him? Ci Xue is someone by Qian Renxue's side. Qian Renxue and I had clearly agreed: I would not touch Nan Feihuang, and she would not touch Xiao Gang."

"But now? My Xiao Gang is dead, yet her Nan Feihuang is still alive and well. Why? Why!!! She broke the agreement first. I want to avenge Xiao Gang, I must avenge him. I want Qian Renxue to taste the feeling of losing her beloved as well."

Bibi Dong had completely lost her reason; she was filled only with the desire for revenge.

The main thing was that the Grandmaster had died too miserably, without even a corpse left. If the body were still there, Bibi Dong might have been able to use the power of the Rakshasa God to find the Grandmaster's soul, because generally speaking, after a person dies, the soul does not immediately drift away or enter the world of the dead; they linger by their own corpse for a long time, watching themselves until they confirm they are truly dead.

In that way, Bibi Dong could have immediately rushed to the place where the Grandmaster died, used the power of the Rakshasa God to find his soul, and after she became a god in the future, use a Level One God quota to help him resurrect.

But in the Grandmaster's case, there was no body, and his soul had long since drifted to who knows where. This left Bibi Dong at a loss. She was already in despair, but she also knew she could not kill Ci Xue for this. As Hu Liena said, Ci Xue was only doing his duty for the Spirit Hall.

Even if it were a case of "the hunting dog being cooked after the rabbit is caught," it was still too early. Bibi Dong would not let Ci Xue off, but she would only settle the score after everything had settled.

As for Qian Renxue, she would definitely not touch her; after all, no matter what, Qian Renxue was her own daughter.

Therefore, the only target she could take revenge on was the person Qian Renxue loved most.

Their Angel Clan had destroyed the things she held most dear, time and time again.

Since she could not obtain happiness, she would not let the people of the Qian Family obtain it either.

Anyway, Yu Xiaogang was dead, she had no more attachments, and Qian Renxue could no longer threaten her. She could wantonly use Nan Feihuang as her target!
