On the Holy Island, Qian Renxue finally escaped the cold prison and gained her freedom.
Shui Wuya gave her a brief overview of the current state of the continent.
She learned that the Spirit Hall and the Imperial Coalition, led by the Ice God, were in conflict.
Qian Renxue was anxious.
"Bibi Dong, that vile woman, is truly both poisonous and stupid!"
Qian Renxue cursed angrily.
Bibi Dong had made the foolish decision to oppose the Ice God without realizing the immense power of the Eternal Life Sect backing the Ice God.
She was blinded by power!
"No, I must return to Spirit Hall immediately and stop them from making more mistakes!"
Qian Renxue desperately wanted to prevent the conflict between Spirit Hall and the two empires.
However, she dared not act on her own.
She had just joined the Eternal Life Sect and was now bound to follow the orders of the two elders before her.
If she acted out of personal interest to warn Spirit Hall, she would not only fail to save them but also endanger herself.
Seeing her inner turmoil, Shui Wuya had a thought.
Qian Renxue was eager for revenge.
Bibi Dong was on the brink of becoming a god.
This was the perfect opportunity to deal with the troublesome Bibi Dong.
With this in mind, Shui Wuya stood with his hands behind his back and said to Shui Bing'er, "Headquarters just sent a message saying that Bibi Dong of Sprit Hall refuses to join the Sect and is attempting to become a god on her own. She is currently in seclusion."
"Headquarters wants us to deal with her immediately."
Shui Bing'er nodded without hesitation. "Alright, let's go quickly."
Hearing this task, Qian Renxue was overjoyed.
She had always wanted to avenge her grandfather. Now, with the Eternal Life Sect aiming to take down Bibi Dong, it was a godsend.
She immediately ran up and pleaded, "Elder, I am from Spirit Hall and know it well. Moreover, Bibi Dong killed my grandfather. I have a deep-seated grudge against her! Please take me with you!"
Shui Wuya paused and then nodded. "Alright, you are now a member of the Church. You should observe and learn. We will take you with us on this mission."
"Thank you, Elder. I will not disappoint you."
Qian Renxue was immensely grateful.
Thus, the three of them set off together towards Spirit Hall.
Inside Spirit Hall, a high-level emergency meeting was taking place.
Golden Crocodile Douluo presided over the hall, his face grim and his forehead dotted with sweat.
He was deeply worried.
The Grand Worshiper had been gone for days without a trace.
And at this critical moment, Pope Bibi Dong chose to go into seclusion, ignoring worldly affairs.
In these troubled times, he, the second elder of Spirit Hall, had to take charge, which filled him with anxiety.
"The coalition forces of the two empires already outnumber us, and now they have the support of the Ice God's eight deans. How can we fight them?"
"Not to mention the Ice God, who crushed the Sea God with unfathomable divine power."
"If she intervenes personally, how can we respond?"
The elders in the hall were deep in discussion, their faces filled with worry.
One elder said solemnly, "Our enemy is strong, and we are weak. We must avoid direct confrontation. If necessary, we should negotiate peace."
"Peace negotiations!?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo slammed the table with his large hand and scolded, "Spirit Hall is the foremost power on the continent, invincible in battle! When have we ever feared an enemy, no matter how powerful?"
"Sigh."
The elders dared not refute him, lowering their heads in despair.
The past was the past.
Now is now.
When they fought the Haotian Sect, their opponent's backing was only a demigod.
But now, the backers of the two empires were true gods.
How could they possibly contend with such power?
Are We Capable?
Seeing everyone so downcast, Golden Crocodile Douluo felt extremely frustrated as well. He spoke with conviction, but in truth, he wasn't confident about continuing the fight.
While Golden Crocodile Douluo and the elders were deeply worried, an unusual phenomenon occurred.
Suddenly, a deep rumbling sound echoed.
A vortex appeared in the center of the hall!
It formed out of nowhere, with powerful energy swirling within, as if connecting to another dimension.
"What's happening!?"
Everyone's eyes focused on it, glancing at each other in confusion.
As the vortex expanded, three mysterious figures dressed in white and wearing white masks slowly emerged.
There were two women and one man, with the man leading them, exuding the most powerful aura.
His straight white clothes glowed faintly in the candlelight, and his face was covered by an exquisite white mask, revealing only a pair of deep eyes.
The elders surrounded the three in unison, ready for confrontation.
Golden Crocodile Douluo stared at the trio warily, shouting, "Who dares to intrude into our Spirit Hall!?"
At the critical moment, one of the masked figures suddenly removed their mask, revealing a familiar face.
"Second Grandpa, it's me!"
Qian Renxue's voice resonated through the hall.
"Xue'er?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo was stunned for a moment.
Seeing it was indeed Qian Renxue, he rushed over in delight.
"Heavens, it really is Xue'er!"
The elders were also shocked by Qian Renxue's sudden appearance, showing expressions of joy.
"Xue'er, it's good that you're safe!"
"But what about your grandfather? Did the Grand Worshiper go to find you?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo asked with concern.
"I went to a secluded place to train."
"As for Grandpa…"
At this point, Qian Renxue's voice choked up.
She gently shook her head, eyes filled with sorrow, and said slowly, "Grandpa… he's already gone to another world."
She then recounted how Qian Daoliu was killed by Bibi Dong.
"The Pope Bibi Dong actually killed the Grand Worshiper!"
Hearing this shocking news, everyone was stunned.
For a moment, the hall fell silent, except for the sound of gasps.
Knowing that the Grand Worshiper was no longer in this world, Golden Crocodile Douluo clenched his fists in pain, his eyes flashing with anger and sorrow.
"Damn Bibi Dong!"
"I knew she wasn't a good person!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo was furious, smashing a stone pillar in the hall to pieces with a punch.
He vowed to avenge the Grand Worshiper and crush Bibi Dong to dust!
Most of the elders also looked grim, their eyes filled with grief and indignation.
The Grand Worshiper was considered a great leader of Spirit Hall, with outstanding achievements and illustrious merits.
But Bibi Dong, ungrateful as she was, had brutally murdered him.
It was utterly outrageous!
Qian Renxue looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo urgently and said, "Second Grandpa, if we want revenge, we must act quickly."
"Right now, that vile woman is in seclusion, undergoing her god-level assessment. We came here to stop her!"
Hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo gritted his teeth even harder.
No wonder that vile woman dared to harm the Grand Worshiper without fearing retribution.
She relied on her impending ascension to godhood, emboldened by it!
"The Pope is about to become a god?"
At this moment, a few elders felt a glimmer of hope.
If Bibi Dong successfully became a god, wouldn't Spirit Hall have the power to rival the Ice God?
The grand cause of unifying the continent could proceed!
