Chapter 172: Bibi Dong's Methods
The implications in Qian Daoliu's words were obvious.
Among those present, while Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing may not have grasped the full meaning, both Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, as well as Su Yun by their side, understood perfectly whom Qian Daoliu was referring to.
After all, there had been a relationship between Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang in the past.
Bibi Dong naturally understood the hidden meanings in Qian Daoliu's words.
She hadn't come here for someone as weak as Yu Xiaogang.
Her purpose here was to see if Qian Daoliu managed to capture Tang Hao.
Even though Tang Hao was indirectly responsible for the death of Qian Xunji, the direct culprit for Qian Xunji's death was Bibi Dong herself.
Wouldn't Qian Daoliu hold a grudge against her?
Bibi Dong knew that if she didn't have her own talent and happened to be Qian Xunji's disciple, plus later giving birth to Qian Renxue for the Qian family, Qian Daoliu wouldn't easily push her onto the position of Pope of the Martial Soul Hall.
Bibi Dong was certain that Qian Daoliu was always looking for opportunities to pull her down from the position of Pope.
How could she give this person an opportunity?
If she wasn't undergoing the Rakshasa God's Trials now, why would she entrust the task of dealing with Tang Hao, which would greatly enhance her reputation, to Qian Daoliu?
Bibi Dong's main purpose for coming here today was actually just one thing: she was afraid that Qian Daoliu would deliberately let Tang Hao go.
If Qian Daoliu wanted to make Bibi Dong step down from the position of Pope in the future, there were only two possibilities.
One was if Qian Renxue grew up and surpassed her, and with the support of the people from the Hall of Worship, forced her to step down from the position of Pope.
The other was to use Tang Hao's external force.
In order to avoid gossip, Qian Daoliu needed to rely on the power of sects like the Haotian Sect to deal with her.
However, from the soul power fluctuations she had sensed when she approached this place just now, the scale of the battle that had taken place was definitely not small.
Even though she was far away from this place, the tremors in the soul power fluctuations made her body tremble slightly.
"Grand Worship, you're joking. I came here naturally to see if you need my help."
"After all, Tang Hao is the number one genius of the Haotian Sect. Many years ago, he also killed the previous Pope. Such a villain, with only the three of you, I am truly worried."
"So I came uninvited."
Saying this, Bibi Dong's gaze fell on Chrysanthemum Douluo. "Yue Guan, where is Tang Hao's body?"
"Report to the Pope, Tang Hao is not dead."
"Under the leadership of the Grand Worship, we forced Tang Hao to amputate his right arm and left leg."
Chrysanthemum Douluo pointed to the raging waves formed by countless small streams converging beside them and said, "At the same time, he also exploded the soul bones of one of his arms and legs, only then did he steal a glimmer of hope from the Grand Worship's hands, and finally escaped through the river here."
"Now Tang Hao is a disabled person."
"We have sent messages to the Martial Soul Halls everywhere. If anyone finds Tang Hao, they must immediately send back information and capture him while he's weak."
"..."
Listening to Chrysanthemum Douluo's report on the situation, Bibi Dong's face went from gloomy when she heard that Tang Hao hadn't been taken down to calm when she heard that Tang Hao had each of his arms and legs severed.
In the end, she nodded slightly, seemingly appreciating Qian Daoliu, and said, "Fortunately, the Grand Worship is here today. Otherwise, with only Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo, I'm afraid it would be impossible to force Tang Hao to this extent."
Qian Daoliu shook his head. "It's just my duty."
He continued to cover up for Bibi Dong's past actions, saying, "Tang Hao seriously injured me and caused the death of my son back then. This time, just severing one of his arms and legs can be considered letting him off lightly."
"But this Yu Xiaogang..."
Qian Daoliu shifted the topic back to Yu Xiaogang and looked at Bibi Dong, asking, "I wonder if Your Holiness can guess the purpose of Yu Xiaogang's visit here?"
"Tang Hao's arrival could still be explained as him wanting to attract our attention and send his son back to the Haotian Sect."
"But why would Yu Xiaogang, a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, come here at the same time? I suspect that the top three sects have secretly contacted each other."
"Or maybe he's here as an old acquaintance from the Martial Soul City."
Listening to Qian Daoliu's words, Su Yun could already feel the sharpness in the former's words gradually revealing itself towards Bibi Dong.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo stood beside Bibi Dong without saying a word, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
They knew that this was a confrontation between the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall and the Grand Worship of the Hall of Worship.
It was not their turn to intervene.
As for Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing, they were shocked by the imposing manner of the two adults and could only stand still, not daring to say a word.
Bibi Dong didn't directly answer Qian Daoliu's question, but turned around and looked at Yu Xiaogang, who she hadn't seen in many years.
As Yu Xiaogang saw Bibi Dong turn around, his expression changed.
However, before he could speak, Bibi Dong suddenly waved her hand, and an unparalleled soul power wave suddenly struck Yu Xiaogang.
"Puff!"
"Bang!"
Yu Xiaogang instantly felt himself being struck by an invisible force, sending him flying and directly breaking several dozen large trees behind him.
He then passed out.
Turning back around, Su Yun and the others saw Bibi Dong with only a cold expression on her face.
"In the future, when encountering such people, just kill them directly."
"The Grand Worship doesn't need to come and ask me."
Bibi Dong looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo again and instructed, "Yue Guan, this person has a special identity. He is not only a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but also the son of Yu Yuanzhen and the teacher of Tang San."
"You must make good use of his identity and spread some 'information' to the people of the top three sects."
Initially, Chrysanthemum Douluo thought that Bibi Dong still had some sentimental feelings towards Yu Xiaogang.
But seeing Bibi Dong's actions today, Yue Guan's heart suddenly felt relieved.
It seemed that the Pope was not troubled by past emotions after all.
He showed a pleased expression and respectfully said, "I will follow Your Holiness's orders."
"Very well."
With that, Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena and Su Yun and whispered, "Nana, Su Yun, I will return to the Martial Soul City first."
"After you two come back, come to the Pope's Hall to see me." {You could've taken them with you though}
Hu Liena and Su Yun nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, Teacher."
Receiving their reply, Bibi Dong immediately turned into a streak of light and disappeared from the sight of everyone.
And Qian Daoliu looked at the heavily injured and unconscious Yu Xiaogang, his eyes revealing many complex expressions.
It seemed that he couldn't see through what was going on in Bibi Dong's heart.
Then he spread his wings and flew into the sky, heading towards the direction of the Martial Soul City.
However, after reaching the sky, his gaze lingered on Su Yun for a while before he withdrew his gaze.
"Fifty-first level of soul power? It seems to indeed match with Xue'er..."
...
After the two strongest in the Martial Soul Hall left, only Su Yun and the others remained in place.
Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately called the soldiers of the Martial Soul Hall and had Yu Xiaogang grabbed again, imprisoning him in a carriage.
Originally, Chrysanthemum Douluo had wanted to take action against Yu Xiaogang.
But considering his identity and whether he was a pawn of the top three sects after being expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he had only given the opponent some lessons.
Until the recent battle in the Sunset Forest, he had already seen through it completely.
The top three sects, because of the appearance of the Haotian Sect and Yu Xiaogang becoming Tang San's teacher, had once again gathered together secretly after being separated for so many years.
"The good days of the top three sects are also coming to an end." Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at Yu Xiaogang, who was thrown into the carriage by the soldiers, with a terrifying smile on his face.
...
Several days later, Su Yun and his group finally returned to the Martial Soul Hall.
Soon after, Su Yu and Hu Liena came to the Pope's Hall together.
In the Pope's Hall at this time, only Bibi Dong sat high on the Pope's throne.
"Pay respects to Teacher."
Su Yun and Hu Liena bowed.
"Su Yun, I didn't expect that your current level of soul power has already surpassed Nana's, and you have become a fifty-first level soul power before them. This is quite gratifying to me."
Bibi Dong smiled lightly as she looked at Hu Liena beside her, "Nana, it seems that you and your brother, along with Yan, the three of you from the Golden Generation, will have another person joining you."
Bibi Dong was quite satisfied with her two disciples.
Hu Liena needed no explanation, as she had been nurtured by her since childhood and her talent was outstanding.
Coupled with her fusion skill with her brother, Xie Yue, she would undoubtedly be her right-hand woman in the Martial Soul Hall in the future.
As for Su Yun, he was like a gift from heaven.
Bibi Dong had never imagined that someone's cultivation speed could be so fast.
If it were in the past, she would never have believed it.
But now, she felt that perhaps Su Yun could surpass Tang Hao and become the youngest Title Douluo on the continent!
Seeing Teacher comparing herself with Su Yun, Hu Liena's face showed a somewhat unhappy expression. "Teacher, don't you see what kind of talent Su Yun has?"
She looked at Su Yun with a strange look in her eyes. "I suspect he probably cultivates even when he's sleeping."
Su Yun could only smile helplessly at her words, indicating his helplessness.
It was indeed because his Blue Silver Emperor martial soul was too powerful that he could absorb almost all external soul power without discrimination.
Moreover, with the assistance of the system, his cultivation speed couldn't be slow even if he wanted it to be.
"Alright, alright, I already know about what you've done outside."
Bibi Dong looked at Su Yun and said, "Su Yun, I already know about what you've been doing outside."
"It's true, Dugu Bo is now officially under our Martial Soul Hall, which will indeed be of great help to our future actions."
"You did well in this regard."
"Especially when you directly gave the external soul bone to Dugu Bo's granddaughter. If you weren't my disciple, I would have suspected that you were a spy planted by other forces in our Martial Soul Hall."
Su Yun smiled at her words. "Can't bear to let go of the child and not catch the wolf, Teacher."
"Besides, a piece of external soul bone can only unleash its maximum potential when given to the right person."
"Dugu Yan, under her grandfather's guidance, will definitely take a lot less detours in the future."
"In other words, I'm also preparing for the next generation of Poison Douluo in our Martial Soul Hall."
