Chapter 373: Threat

"What? Bibi Dong wants to kill the boy Feihuang?"

Inside the Offering Hall, Demon Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo had already reported Bibi Dong's latest plan to the Offerings. Upon hearing it, Guangling Douluo exclaimed aloud.

This plan was completely contrary to the grand strategy they had previously formulated.

The Spirit Hall had always listed the Upper Three Sects as targets for elimination, while listing the various kingdoms as targets for recruitment.

If they were to rashly kill Nan Feihuang without any reason, it would not just be a matter of offending the Gu Lei Kingdom and Lan Xue; it would also incite dissatisfaction among the various kingdoms.

After all, if the Spirit Hall could eliminate Nan Feihuang, they could also eliminate them.

This would be detrimental to the future subjugation of the various kingdoms.

"Yes, Five Great Elders. That is why we came here—we hope you can persuade the Pope. Losing a strong ally only to gain a strong enemy is neither worth it nor wise!" Demon Bear Douluo said. "Furthermore, the Young Master and that Nan Feihuang are in love. If Nan Feihuang were to die at the hands of the Pope, how could the Young Master let it go? At that time, I fear it would cause internal strife within our Spirit Hall."

Demon Bear Douluo was truly loyal to the Spirit Hall; every word he spoke was considered from the standpoint of the Spirit Hall.

Qian Daoliu also knew that what Demon Bear said was correct, so he frowned and said, "I will go talk to Bibi Dong."

"No need, I am already here." Just then, Bibi Dong walked directly into the Offering Hall without announcing herself. She had long guessed that Demon Bear and Ghost Leopard would certainly not agree with her and would have the Offering Hall come to cause her trouble, so she simply came to seize the initiative.

Bibi Dong looked at Qian Daoliu without the slightest fear and said coldly, "Qian Daoliu, you do not need to persuade me. Nan Feihuang—I will kill him. No one can stop me."

"Bibi Dong, although you are the Pope, the Spirit Hall is not something you can act arbitrarily about alone." Guangling Douluo slapped his chair and stood up in anger. He still liked Nan Feihuang, this future grandson-in-law, very much; how could he possibly let Bibi Dong kill him?

How heartbroken his granddaughter Xiao Xue would be when that time came.

"Bibi Dong, if you insist on this, do not blame me for using the power of the Offering Hall!" Qian Daoliu threatened.

He felt guilty about what Qian Xunji had done to Bibi Dong back then.

Coupled with the fact that Bibi Dong had given birth to the most outstanding successor for their Angel Clan.

Therefore, even though he knew that the person who truly killed his son was the Bibi Dong before him, he had never thought of revenge all these years. He even supported her in sitting firmly on the Pope Throne. All these years, as long as Bibi Dong was not too excessive, he had let her decide the policies within the Spirit Hall and did not interfere.

But now, Bibi Dong wanted to kill Nan Feihuang. Firstly, it destroyed the grand policy the Spirit Hall had long formulated; secondly, it would leave Qian Renxue completely heartbroken and desperate, further damaging the mother-daughter relationship that was already not close.

So this time, Qian Daoliu had to stop her.

The Spirit Hall had a rule: the Offering Hall had the power to impeach the Pope. As long as more than half of the Offerings in the Offering Hall voted to impeach the Pope, then Bibi Dong would be driven from the position of Pope today.

"Heh, Qian Daoliu, what is this? You want to impeach me?" Bibi Dong smiled coldly. "Then go ahead and do it. If I am the Pope, I will use the power of the Spirit Hall to kill Nan Feihuang. If I am not the Pope, at worst, I will do it myself."

"Xiao Gang is dead. He died at the hands of your Offering Hall's people. I no longer care about anything. Even if it means the Spirit Hall is ruined, I will kill Nan Feihuang and let you people of the Qian Family taste the feeling of losing a loved one."

"Qian Daoliu, I will tell you clearly now: you can only choose one between Nan Feihuang and me. Choose Nan Feihuang, and you can impeach me; I will go kill Nan Feihuang myself. Choose me, and I will continue to serve as Pope, helping the Spirit Hall unify the continent, and in the future, Xiao Xue will inherit it. As for Nana, after I become a god, I will take her to the God Realm."

At this moment, Bibi Dong was truly a bit hysterical. Her super invincible "love-brain" for the Master exceeded even her hatred for Qian Xunji.

She would rather give up the Spirit Hall in the future and return it to Qian Renxue than fail to kill Nan Feihuang, bury him with the Master, and let Qian Renxue taste the pain of losing a lover just as she had.

"Why must you go to such lengths?" Qian Daoliu was somewhat speechless. Originally, he had wanted to use the power of the Offering Hall to threaten Bibi Dong, but he had not expected that Bibi Dong would not care about the Pope position at all and would instead threaten him.

Moreover, she was even willing to voluntarily give up Hu Liena's Saintess position and return it to Qian Renxue, just to carry out this plan to kill Nan Feihuang.

This woman had become increasingly extreme because of the Master's death.

Qian Daoliu fell into a dilemma. Of course, he did not want Nan Feihuang to die, but he also understood that Bibi Dong was not joking.

If he did not agree to Bibi Dong today and forcibly removed her from the Pope position.

Then she would inevitably do as she said and personally take action to kill Nan Feihuang, and then the problem would be even greater.

Bibi Dong had served as Pope for many years and had long since won the hearts of the people. Even if she were removed from office, her status in the hearts of most people in the Spirit Hall would not change much.

A former Pope is still a Pope.

At that time, the former Pope of the Spirit Hall would have assassinated the Crown Prince of the Gu Lei Kingdom; would the Gu Lei Kingdom think the Spirit Hall was innocent? They would still be enemies just the same.

It could be said that from the moment Bibi Dong made up her mind.

The Spirit Hall's plan to subjugate the Gu Lei Kingdom had already gone bankrupt, and a huge chasm seemed to have been carved between Qian Renxue and Nan Feihuang by Bibi Dong's sickle.

For a pair that was originally of one heart, I fear there is no longer any possibility.

As for forcibly detaining Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu also knew it would not be easy. This woman's cultivation had already infinitely approached his own; she was only restricted in some of her strength by that Rakshasa God Trial.

If she disregarded everything and burned her Godly Power at the cost of giving up her God Position inheritance, the power that would erupt would not be much inferior to him in the Offering Hall.

At that time, the Pope and the Great Elder would both be injured, and no one would be in a position to laugh at how miserable the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family were.

Could it be that he could only abandon Nan Feihuang?

But Xue'er... to be fair, although Qian Daoliu valued Nan Feihuang and was willing to let him be his grandson-in-law, that was only because Qian Renxue liked him.

Otherwise, for the Spirit Hall of today, even if they were missing one genius with an Innate God-Level Spirit, it would at most be a pity, not to the point of being unwilling to let go.

The Gu Lei Kingdom's agriculture was not bad, but it was not to the point where they were indispensable. If they destroyed the Gu Lei Kingdom, their grain and territory would still belong to the Spirit Hall.

If Qian Renxue did not like Nan Feihuang, Qian Daoliu would have long since captured him, either forcing him to pledge loyalty—imprinting a mark on his forehead that was controlled by the Angel Clan and could be detonated at any time—or else completely obliterating him.

Even if Qian Daoliu himself was not bloodthirsty and would not overly pressure ordinary geniuses, Nan Feihuang's talent was already a bit excessive. With an Innate God-Level Spirit, he could fight a Title Douluo once he reached the Spirit Saint realm.

And if Nan Feihuang became a Title Douluo, he would be completely uncontrollable. Therefore, as the former Adjudication Elder of the Spirit Hall, at this time when the Spirit Hall's great cause was about to enter a critical period, Qian Daoliu could harden his heart once.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu's only real dilemma was actually just worrying about his granddaughter.
