Chapter 424: The Dispute of

Looking at this stubborn daughter who refused to show a hint of frailty before her, a flash of extremely complex light passed through the depths of Bibi Dong's eyes.

Suddenly, all of her aura seemed to vanish in that moment. She sighed and said, "Failure is failure; everything can be started over from the beginning. We are still at an absolute advantage in the grand scheme of things. However, after this time, you should no longer harbor any fantasies about Nan Feihuang, right? By ruining the Heaven Dou Infiltration Plan that the Spirit Hall has managed for many years, not only I, but your grandfather will no longer tolerate him."

Qian Renxue said coldly, "I did not lose to Feihuang; I lost to you. If you hadn't been blinded by Anger and sent people to harm Feihuang, how would I have risked launching the plan early? Sis—ter—"

That last word, which should have been a call, was deliberately drawn out by her, sounding full of mockery.

"Sister?" A flash of angry light passed through Bibi Dong's eyes. "Hmph, call me whatever you like. In any case, in this lifetime, there is no longer any possibility between you and Nan Feihuang."

Qian Renxue let out a cold snort. "No, I will still call you Pope. Pope, your plan will not succeed. The current Feihuang is already so strong that you cannot kill him, and I will eventually resolve the misunderstandings with him. In this world, my only family are the few grandfathers in the Offering Hall, and my only lover will be Feihuang. Aside from them, no terms of kinship or connection will ever appear in my mouth again. Didn't you say that my coming into this world was a mistake to begin with? Father is already dead, and you have obtained what you wanted. But you must remember, you are you, and I am I; from now on, we will govern our own affairs. You manage your Pope Palace, and I will manage my Elder Hall and Offering Hall. From this moment on, you have no authority to deploy any of the Elders in the Elder Hall, except for the Ju Gui Douluo who are loyal to you."

"What did you say?" Bibi Dong's gaze turned sharp once again. A powerful aura instantly condensed into a pressure as tangible as substance, forcing Qian Renxue to retreat several steps before she could steady her body. Under the pressure of Bibi Dong's powerful aura, a wisp of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, yet the cold sneer on her face did not diminish in the slightest; instead, it carried a touch of mockery.

"Don't be angry, sister. I misspoke. Where would you even get a Ju Gui Douluo now? Wasn't that Ghost Douluo captured alive by my Feihuang? How truly miserable."

Seeing the blood flowing from the corner of Qian Renxue's mouth, Bibi Dong paused. The sharp aura on her body faltered and slowly receded.

"I will rescue Guimei myself. Get out of here immediately; I do not want to see you." She was truly angered by Qian Renxue; right now, she didn't even want to look at her.

"Whether you believe it or not, Ci Xue killing Yu Xiaogang was not directed by me. I only told him to act as he saw fit; I did not expect that he would kill the Master in order to complete the Soul Hunting Operation Plan." Qian Renxue explained the matter from back then and walked out without looking back. The door to the Pope Hall slammed shut with a loud boom, as if it had isolated them into two different worlds.

Bibi Dong seemed to lose all her strength in an instant, collapsing into her chair. Tears flowed uncontrollably down her face. Who could imagine that this iron-blooded Pope would have such a weak side?

Yes, she had known from the very beginning that Qian Renxue could never have given the order to kill Xiao Gang.

Or rather, Yu Xiaogang had actually died under her own plan, because the Soul Hunting Operation was designed by her. Ci Xue had killed Yu Xiaogang to complete her plan; not only was he not at fault, but he was actually meritorious.

But so what? Would she even care about who was right or wrong now?

She only knew that she would certainly never find happiness in this life, and those of the Qian Family should not think of finding it either.

Bibi Dong had completely entered a dead end; she wouldn't even turn back after hitting the southern wall, unable to get out at all.

The Offering Hall.

This was the largest building within the Spirit Hall and represented the location of the most powerful strength in the entire Spirit Hall.

Except for extremely special circumstances, the primary condition for being able to reside here was having soul power of level 96 or higher and possessing the strength of a Super Douluo or above. This was the true seat of supreme power in the Spirit Hall; even the Pope had to be constrained by it. In the final analysis, it was the effect of strength.

At this moment, the Offering Hall was quiet, without even a single servant in attendance. When Qian Renxue walked into that massive hall, she saw someone standing silently at the very back, in front of a giant ten-meter-tall Six-Winged Angel sculpture crafted from pure gold. The person was standing with their back to the door, looking up at the pure gold statue. It was the Great High Priest of the Offering Hall, the Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu. Qian Renxue bowed respectfully to the Angel God Statue before raising her head and saying, "Grandfather, I have returned. I am sorry, I have failed."

"Xiao Xue, I know everything. After Guangling returned, he already told me everything." Qian Daoliu sighed, "Sigh, I truly did not expect that Nan Feihuang had already grown to such a degree in secret that even Guangling was no match for him."

"Feihuang is indeed very outstanding, even more outstanding than me." A hint of tenderness flashed across Qian Renxue's face. "However, he never intended to hide it from me. Grandfather, do you know? Although it was Bibi Dong who impersonated me to write those letters to Feihuang, at that time, Feihuang truly wanted to use everything he had to confess to me and propose marriage."

"Chrysanthemum Douluo said that the Immortal Herb that could further grow my aptitude was something he had prepared specifically for me."

Qian Renxue was speaking excitedly, but Qian Daoliu interrupted her at this moment, "Xiao Xue, say no more. Everything is already too late. It is I who have failed you."

"Too late...?" Qian Renxue's gaze dimmed. "Grandfather, I do not blame you. After all, you have your own position. In the situation at that time, one was the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and the other was just a Prince of a kingdom not yet belonging to the Spirit Hall. Between the two, you had no room to choose."

"But Grandfather, I feel that there is still a possibility between Feihuang and me. Isn't this time the best proof? If he didn't have me in his heart, he could have completely killed me when we were at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. Even Grandfather Guangling, he would not have let him go. But he was worried about me and afraid that I would be sad, so he showed mercy to Grandfather Guangling everywhere during the battle."

"Grandfather, I truly cannot forget Feihuang's deep affection and righteousness toward me."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu also fell silent. He could argue against anything else, but he could not deny that Nan Feihuang loved Qian Renxue.

The Spirit Hall had treated him like that, yet he was still able to repay evil with kindness. Not only did he let Qian Renxue go, but he didn't even harm Ci Xue and Guangling, letting them return just like that.

On this point, the Spirit Hall could be considered to owe him another favor.

The Qian Family had yet to repay the life-saving grace Nan Feihuang had shown Qian Renxue back then. With this debt growing ever larger, even if Qian Daoliu wanted to strangle Nan Feihuang while he had the chance, he felt a bit embarrassed to take action.

The Angel God acted in the name of justice, letting light shine upon the world. One who forgets favors and violates justice could not bear the name of the Great High Priest of the Angel God.

Even when he killed Chen Xin's father, Chen Jianjun, back then, it was actually because Chen Jianjun had overestimated his own abilities and come to challenge him; he had only acted as the situation dictated.

Just as he was struggling with this, the Third Elder, the Green Phoenix Douluo, walked in.

"Great High Priest, there is a letter from the Gulei Kingdom."

"A letter? Grandfather Qingluan, is it written to me by Feihuang?" Qian Renxue asked expectantly.

The Green Phoenix Douluo shook his head, "No, it is written to the Great High Priest by Nan Tianchen."

Qian Daoliu was stunned, "Nan Tianchen is writing to me...?"
