241 Bibi Dong and Qian RenxueAfter the last big melee of the finals, the elite championship team has been decided.
Tiandou Team 2, a most inconspicuous cannon fodder team, became the champion that no one expected.
The captain of the Tiandou Second Team, Lü Buliang, was a Soul Emperor with a fourth soul ring of ten thousand years. From the preliminaries to the promotion rounds, and then to the finals, and finally the big melee, he wiped out seven teams with a total of forty-nine people, and blew up the ring with one punch.
He brought too many shocks to the audience throughout the entire elite tournament.
The name of the Shadow Evil God Lü Buliang has become a household name and a legend on the continent.
Young spirit masters in many cities imitated Lü Buliang's performances in the spirit fighting competition in the Great Spirit Fighting Arena, such as sitting on a throne and being carried to compete, swinging a mace to kill opponents instantly, and developing in multiple directions such as auxiliary and control at the same time, and even fighting others without using a martial spirit.
Those six-year-old children who have not awakened their martial spirits are all telling their parents that they also have shadows and want to awaken their shadow martial spirits.
Lü Buliang's performance in the elite competition sparked a trend of advocating personal heroism. In one day, the number of informal team matches in the big soul fighting field increased significantly, and the soul fighting field where one person challenged a team became the norm, and "I don't need a martial soul to fight you" became the catchphrase of soul masters.
After the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition came to an end, teachers and students from various academies returned to the hotel to rest.
Lu Buliang was taken to the Pope's Palace by twenty Spirit Hall masters.
Inside the palace, the meeting hall.
After the two elders Ming Jugui and other Spirit Hall high-ups left, Bibi Dong and Lu Buliang were the only ones left in the meeting hall.
Bibi Dong sat on the throne and Lu Buliang stood in the middle of the hall. The two looked at each other and remained in a stalemate for a long time without speaking.
Lu Buliang didn't say anything because he wanted to delay time and wait for Qian Renxue to come to the Pope's Palace to ask for people. As for what Bibi Dong was waiting for, no one knew.
Originally, I thought that keeping Lü Buliang in the Pope's Palace would require some tough measures and the use of some force, but Bibi Dong never expected that Lü Buliang would cooperate so well? There was no movement from Qian Renxue either?
Strange feelings always make people uneasy. It seems that she has discovered something. Bibi Dong's face became a little solemn, and she said in a deep voice: "Lü Buliang, dare you not kneel when you see the Pope?"
"No." Lu Buliang said bluntly: "With my current status, I don't need to kneel when meeting the emperors of two countries, so why should I kneel to the Pope?"
A hint of coldness flashed across Bibi Dong's eyes. "You talk to me like this, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Lü Buliang smiled calmly, "I am from the Temple of Worship. You can try to kill me."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong was stunned. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Did Qian Renxue teach you to talk to me like this?"
Lu Buliang nodded, "Yes."
Bibi Dong suddenly realized, "No wonder you stayed in the Pope's Palace so quietly. And you stayed here with me for such a long time. I guess it won't be long before Qian Renxue will come to the Pope's Palace to ask for someone, right?"
Lu Buliang nodded again, "Yes."
Upon learning that Qian Renxue would come, Bibi Dong's face became less calm and her eyes became more gloomy. She had heard before that Lu Buliang had a competition with Qian Daoliu in the Worship Hall. The fact that he was able to walk out of the Worship Hall alive meant that Qian Daoliu valued Lu Buliang.
If Lu Buliang was killed rashly, Qian Daoliu would definitely be angered.
This was not the result Bibi Dong wanted to see. She didn't want to fall out with the people in the Worship Hall yet, so naturally she didn't dare to attack Lu Buliang in the hall.
Furthermore, Lu Buliang's shadow martial soul is too strange, and it seems to have various spatial movement abilities. Killing him may not be possible as one wishes.
After pondering for a moment, the murderous intent in Bibi Dong's eyes faded, but she still stared at Lv Buliang coldly, and asked with some doubt: "I am very curious, why are you so persistent in serving Qian Renxue? What she can give you, can't I give you?"
"Can you really give me what she can give me?" Lü Buliang asked back, thinking, Qian Renxue can practice with him and sleep in the same bed, can Bibi Dong do the same?
After all, Bibi Dong is not a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love. After hearing what Lü Buliang said, she seemed to understand. If the relationship between the two has become so close, then what Qian Renxue can give to Lü Buliang, she really can't give.
"I warned her before not to believe in men's sweet words, but I didn't expect that she would still be deceived by you. No wonder she ran back to the Worship Hall to seek help in order to hunt soul beasts for you."
Bibi Dong said coldly, "Lü Buliang, you are quite capable to be able to warm her up. It seems that you are unwilling to stay in the Pope's Palace to serve me because you intend to be loyal to her till death."
"No. You are wrong about one thing." Lu Buliang shook his head. "I am not loyal to her, but I don't want to be an ungrateful person."
"Ginger-eyed wolf?" Bibi Dong muttered, her face suddenly darkened, her brows slightly wrinkled, "What do you mean?"
"Your Holiness, think about it. What is the relationship between me and Qian Renxue?" Lü Buliang explained, "I eat her food, drink her drinks, and use her things. In order to keep me, she was willing to abandon Tuoba Xiang and Luo Siqi, who had worked hard to cultivate me for seven years. Now, my position in her heart is so high that it's fine if she doesn't want to repay me. I also betrayed her and ran away with you. Isn't this a complete ungrateful person?"
After hearing these words, Bibi Dong felt very uncomfortable. The hand holding the scepter subconsciously exerted force. The calmness on her face disappeared and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
When Lu Buliang said that he didn't want to be an ungrateful person, he was actually making a veiled attack on Bibi Dong.
As an orphan raised by the Spirit Hall, her master is the former Pope Qian Xunji. Bibi Dong was also named the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, second only to the emperor.
She eats, drinks, and uses things from the Spirit Hall, and uses the best cultivation resources without expecting anything in return. Not only that, but Bibi Dong even left the Spirit Hall for a waste from the enemy force, Yu Xiaogang, and attempted to elope with Yu Xiaogang.
Even though Bibi Dong is now the Pope, noble and majestic, in Lu Buliang's eyes, she is nothing but an ungrateful person, a crazy woman who wants revenge on the whole world. What is there to respect or fear about her?
"Ginger-eyed wolf?" Bibi Dong quickly regained her composure and smiled in amusement. "Lü Buliang, I know what kind of person you are. You are not an ungrateful wolf, but you are also a profit-seeking villain. Snake Spear and Thorny Porpoise Douluo have reported to me. You are willing to serve Qian Renxue because she promised to let you have a position of power above everyone else."
"If I promise to give you the power to command Title Douluo in the Pope's Palace, will you betray her and turn against me?"
Lu Buliang has a clear idea of what kind of person he is, and everything is centered around his own interests.
It is just as Bibi Dong said, Lu Buliang is not an ungrateful person, but he is not much better either.
Now he says it in a high-sounding manner, saying that he doesn't want to be an ungrateful person. However, after he reaches level 90, enters the Douluo Palace and obtains his own title, Lu Buliang will definitely turn against the Worship Palace in order to obtain the Titled Douluo Corpse of the Douluo Palace.
So, facing Bibi Dong's cold words, he did not refute. The two of them fell into silence, looking at each other with equally cold eyes. They just stared at each other, trying to figure out something in their hearts, and did not speak a word.
The atmosphere in the hall has become tense.
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the door of the meeting hall, "Stop. This is a forbidden area. If anyone of unknown identity comes one step closer, I will kill them without mercy."
The next second, there was a scream, and golden light burst out at the door, rushing in all directions with a sacred and domineering aura.
The two silver-armored guards were hit by the golden aura and flew into the hall from the doorway, where they fell at Lu Buliang's feet and fainted completely.
Bibi Dong and Lu Buliang unconsciously looked at the figure standing at the door of the hall.
She was a woman shrouded in golden light, and the sacred aura instantly filled the entire meeting hall.
After such a long period of training in the fusion of martial souls, Lu Buliang could naturally feel that this sacred aura was released by Qian Renxue's six-winged angel martial soul, and the woman standing at the door was Qian Renxue.
Bibi Dong also recognized Qian Renxue at once. The sacred atmosphere that filled the hall did not purify Bibi Dong's negative emotions, but instead made her feel disgusted.
The dazzling golden light disappeared from the entire meeting hall. Bibi Dong looked coldly at Qian Renxue who was walking into the hall. She said in a deep voice: "Aren't you carrying out a covert mission? I didn't allow you to come back. I also didn't allow you to enter the Pope's Palace without permission!"
There was an unprecedented indifference in Qian Renxue's eyes. She did not respond to any of Bibi Dong's words. She walked to Lu Buliang, took Lu Buliang's hand, and turned and left.
"Stop." The other two silver guards blocked the door, preventing Qian Renxue and Lu Buliang from going. A total of one hundred palace knights surrounded the door at the same time, raising their swords.
Although she was a member of the Spirit Hall, almost none of the knights guarding the hall had ever seen Qian Renxue, so they naturally regarded her as an invader.
Just as Qian Renxue was about to release the six-winged angel spirit, Bibi Dong's voice came from the throne, "All of you step down."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
After receiving the order, the hundreds of palace guards put away their swords, evacuated from the door and returned to their duties.
Standing up from the throne, Bibi Dong kept a calm smile on her face. Since she knew that Qian Renxue would go to the Pope's Palace to get Lu Buliang back, she naturally thought of a way to deal with it.
The shadow spirit's ability to find soul beasts is exactly what Bibi Dong values. What she needs most now is to use a hundred thousand year soul ring to fill the nine soul rings of her second spirit, so that she can complete the Rakshasa God assessment more easily and safely.
Therefore, Bibi Dong will not give up Lu Buliang easily. Since she cannot use force, she will use bribery and use conditions that are far more tempting than Qian Renxue to keep Lu Buliang and make him work for her.
"Lü Buliang, you want a position that is second only to the emperor and above everyone else. I can give it to you now." Bibi Dong said tentatively, "As long as you can serve me, all the people in the Pope's Palace, including the two elders Juegui, can be under your command. What do you think? You won't refuse this favor, right?"
"What about the other Title Douluo in the Elder Hall?" Lü Buliang asked with interest, "Are they also under my command?"
"You can call upon anyone below level 96, but only when they are not performing other tasks. Think about it carefully. What I give you is real power."
At this point, Bibi Dong looked at Qian Renxue and said with a hint of sarcasm: "I'm not like her. She gave you a lot of big cakes but didn't give you any power. To put it bluntly, she just doesn't have the ability to give you."
Qian Renxue looked at Bibi Dong coldly. The indifference in her eyes came from her heart, from Bibi Dong's disgust and hatred for her when they were children.
More than ten years ago.
A little girl found a beautiful flower among the flowers on the roadside. It was a daisy. The flower language of daisy is strength, hope and happiness.
The little girl picked daisies and gave them to her mother who was depressed every day.
But the mother looked at the little girl with cold and hostile eyes, and crushed the daisies the little girl gave her. From then on, all the little girl's fantasies about maternal love were shattered.
In the story, the little girl is six-year-old Qian Renxue, and her mother is Bibi Dong.
Ever since the flowers she sent to Bibi Dong were stepped on and crushed, Qian Renxue hated flowers the most, because when she saw flowers, she would recall Bibi Dong's cold and hateful eyes.
It was also at that time that Qian Renxue completely broke with Bibi Dong, no longer calling her mother, and responded with the same cold attitude.
She couldn't imagine why a mother would feel so disgusted and even nauseous towards her own daughter?
Seeing the sadness in Qian Renxue's eyes, Bibi Dong trembled slightly, and the indifference in her eyes disappeared. A trace of some reluctance flashed across her eyes. She raised her foot, as if she wanted to move forward, but she stopped in the end.
"Don't look at me like that." Bibi Dong's voice sounded as calm as before. "Since you won't give him to me, I will naturally snatch him from you. No matter what means I have to use."
"Bibi Dong, who do you think you are?" Qian Renxue finally spoke, and the sadness in her eyes turned back into indifference. At this moment, her attitude towards Bibi Dong was even colder than the indifference in her eyes, as if all the cold treatment she had received from Bibi Dong when she was a child had burst out at this moment.
"The Pope's position will always belong to our angel clan. You are just a puppet. When I have enough strength, you will give the Pope's position back to me sooner or later. Still want to be second to none and above ten thousand people? Bibi Dong, I tell you, it won't be long before you become a crazy woman without any authority!"
After responding, Qian Renxue directly pulled Lü Buliang out of the meeting hall. Without the Pope's order, the surrounding palace knights did not dare to step forward to stop them, and just let Qian Renxue and Lü Buliang disappear in the Pope's Palace.
Only when Qian Renxue disappeared from view did the indifference on Bibi Dong's face soften a bit. Her body shook violently, as if she was about to fall down without the support of the scepter.
She hated the angel clan for twenty years.
Recalling what the former Pope Qianxunji had done to her in the secret room, Bibi Dong gritted her teeth in hatred. The hand holding the scepter had turned white from excessive force. "Xiaoxue, it's not that I want to hate you. If I don't hate you, how can I be cruel? If I am not cruel, how can I take revenge on you angels..."
"————"
Outside the Papal Palace.
After taking Lü Buliang out of the Pope's Palace, Qian Renxue let go of his hand. The coldness in her eyes disappeared, replaced by confusion, "Lü Buliang, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Lu Buliang was puzzled.
"If I hadn't come to take you back, and Bibi Dong promised you power above everyone else, allowing you to command the Titled Douluo in the Elder Hall, would you really betray me, leave me, and serve her?" Qian Renxue asked.
Lu Buliang asked back, "You didn't come to ask for me back, which proves that I'm not that important to you. Shouldn't I turn to someone else?"
"You--" Qian Renxue stared at Lu Buliang, wanting to say something but stopping herself. She knew that she had never won an argument.
Lu Buliang continued, "I have been wasting time with the Pope, waiting for you to come and ask for someone."
After hearing these words, Qian Renxue's resentment disappeared, and another doubt arose again. She said in a low voice: "I want to ask you a question."
