Bibi Dong was caught off guard.
The slap left her disheveled, seeing stars.
To witness the usually exalted Pope being slapped like this was beyond shocking for everyone present.
Bibi Dong was dumbfounded.
The force of the slap was so great it nearly knocked her crown off.
She had led the Spirit Hall for many years; she had never been so humiliated.
Clutching her reddened cheek, she glared fiercely at Shui Wuya.
"What, are you defiant?"
Shui Bing'er scolded.
Hearing this, Bibi Dong looked at the cold, imposing Shui Wuya and dared not speak out.
The Eternal Life Sect's true nature was unknown to her.
But Shui Wuya's arrogance made her even more reluctant to resist or question him.
Under the eaves, one must bow low.
Suppressing her raging fury, Bibi Dong spoke through gritted teeth, "Thank you, Elder, for your correction. I acknowledge my mistake!"
She then forced a smile, "My first ascension to godhood was due to my ignorance. I beg the Elder to spare me!"
"If there's something the Elder disapproves of, I will certainly make every effort to correct it, to reform myself and start anew!"
Seeing the "sincere" smile on Bibi Dong's face, Shui Wuya was moved.
Bibi Dong, adept at both submission and defiance, was indeed a prime example of a scheming woman!
Even someone as powerful as Qian Daoliu had been deceived by her pretense of weakness, leading to his tragic end.
Shui Wuya had long intended to eliminate Bibi Dong.
The more she acted this way, the less she could be spared!
"Illegal deity, you don't need to put on this act. Having violated the heavenly order, you have no chance of survival."
Shui Wuya spoke with the severity of an iron-faced judge.
"Why?"
Bibi Dong's expression changed dramatically!
Shui Wuya sneered and explained, "Our Eternal Life Sect only cultivates individuals to ascend to godhood and join our ranks. We do not recruit those who have already become gods."
"The reason you were unaware of our existence is that you did not undergo our examination and thus lacked the qualification to ascend. Now that you defy the heavens, you naturally face punishment."
Bibi Dong felt as if struck by lightning upon hearing Shui Wuya's explanation.
The others present also looked on in shock.
Ascension to godhood is entirely at the discretion of the Eternal Life Sect.
If permitted, one could become a god.
If not, one would be erased!
The Eternal Life Sect was unbelievably overbearing!
Qian Renxue, upon hearing Shui Wuya's explanation, had a moment of clarity.
So, Shui Wuya imprisoned her before her divine trial to groom her as a member of the Eternal Life Sect!
She inwardly rejoiced, realizing she had benefited from this misfortune.
Fortunately, she hadn't undergone the divine trial prematurely.
Otherwise, she might have been dealt with by the Elder just like Bibi Dong.
Seeing there was no possibility of negotiation, Bibi Dong's true nature emerged, and she was consumed with rage.
"My becoming a god is none of your business!"
"Damn sect! You're truly outrageous!"
The usually dignified and elegant Bibi Dong had completely lost her composure.
Her curses were as harsh as they could be.
Shui Wuya remained aloof, coldly observing the frenzied Bibi Dong as though he were accustomed to such scenes.
Curse all you want.
You're doomed regardless.
Feeling Shui Wuya's almost palpable killing intent, Bibi Dong's heart was filled with dread.
The Elder of Order was formidable.
And Bibi Dong's soul power was nearly depleted, leaving her unable to resist.
Fleeing was the best option!
With her eyes flashing with fierce light, her body enveloped in a torrent of soul power like an enraged beast, Bibi Dong growled, "Damn it, I'll fight you all to the death today!"
"Be careful, she's going all out!"
The Golden Crocodile Douluo, Qian Renxue, and others sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Bibi Dong and immediately braced themselves, preparing for battle.
Just then, Bibi Dong let out a deafening roar. Her soul power coalesced into a howling wind that surged towards them.
However, as everyone readied themselves for the confrontation, Bibi Dong suddenly turned and fled, her speed so fast it was hard to follow.
"Hahaha, you pretentious old fool! I'll remember this grudge today, and you'll see how I deal with you in the future!"
"And you, Qian Renxue and Golden Crocodile! You treacherous traitors, just wait. When I make my comeback, none of you will escape!"
Bibi Dong's voice was filled with venom, like a curse, making everyone shiver with dread.
"This is bad, we can't let that witch escape! Otherwise, we'll never have peace!"
The Golden Crocodile Douluo and others cried out in alarm.
"Don't let that witch get away! I want her to pay with her blood!"
The Golden Crocodile Douluo roared, exerting all his strength to chase after her.
Yet, despite pushing his speed to its limits, he couldn't catch up to Bibi Dong.
As Bibi Dong seemed on the verge of slipping away, the crowd was helpless.
Qian Renxue, in a panic, turned her gaze toward the Elder of Order.
At that moment, Shui Wuya remained standing in the air, calm and composed.
He watched Bibi Dong flee without moving a muscle.
Desperate, Qian Renxue fell to her knees and pleaded respectfully.
"Junior Qian Renxue humbly begs the Elder to take action and pursue that witch! We cannot let her escape!"
Shui Wuya, however, smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry. No matter how powerful she is, she won't escape my grasp."
"I can eliminate her with just one strike."
"Ah?"
Hearing Shui Wuya's words, Qian Renxue and the elders were taken aback, their faces filled with doubt.
Shui Wuya's power was indeed beyond their reach.
Eliminating Bibi Dong with one strike seemed easy.
But the issue was that Bibi Dong possessed an undying body and could revive infinitely.
How could Shui Wuya completely destroy her!?
Seeing Qian Renxue's bewildered expression, Shui Wuya smiled slightly and said, "Qian Renxue, let me test your knowledge."
"Do you remember the second flaw of Bibi Dong's undying soul bone technique I mentioned earlier?"
Qian Renxue pondered for a moment and then nodded obediently, "Yes, Elder. You mentioned that her undying body would be ineffective against divine-level attacks."
Shui Wuya nodded with satisfaction. "That's correct."
"Elder, why are you testing me on this?"
Qian Renxue was puzzled.
Then, her expression changed to one of shock.
"Watch closely, this is your first lesson."
Shui Wuya said calmly.
He then took a slow, deliberate step forward.
Standing there, Shui Wuya concentrated, his eyes glowing with profound light as if summoning all the forces of heaven and earth.
A chilling aura spread out, causing the surrounding air to seem to solidify.
Under his control, a vast and mysterious energy began to gather, as if the entire sky were enveloped by this force, making the very heavens and earth tremble with his actions.
"Oh my God!!"
"What is happening?"
Qian Renxue looked on in utter astonishment.
The elders all gazed at the sky, dumbfounded.
