22: Chapter 22: Resurrection from the Dead, Bibi Dong Splits the Spirit Hall!

Because the Angel God was enshrined within the Supreme Pontiff Palace, this sharp aura did not dissipate into the palace.

Not a single brick or tile inside suffered the slightest damage.

However, Bibi Dong, who was facing Qian Daoliu's sharp edge directly, was clearly in a bad state at this moment.

"As expected of the High Priest of the Angel God. Although you have no possibility of becoming a god and are destined to remain at the Limit Douluo Realm for the rest of your life, this power is truly not to be underestimated. However... that is all it amounts to!"

Because of the Rakshasa God trials, although Bibi Dong's Soul Power cultivation had long reached level 99, the strength she could exert at this moment was at most level 98.

Trying to withstand a fully powered Qian Daoliu with such cultivation was nothing short of a pipe dream.

Moreover, Bibi Dong did not want to give up the Rakshasa God trials.

Fortunately, Qian Daoliu had spoken too definitively, and she had a way to break the deadlock.

The massive golden sword, piercing through heaven and earth, pressed down. Amidst the surprised gazes of Ghost Leopard and the others, not only did Bibi Dong not use her Soul Power to defend, but she instead met it head-on.

"Sizzle~" The scorching golden light tore down, and in an instant, Bibi Dong's physical body was vaporized on the spot.

"Supreme Pontiff!" Ghost Leopard exclaimed in surprise.

As for Bear Demon Douluo, seeing this scene, a smile curled at the corner of his lips.

His previous guess was indeed correct; Bibi Dong was truly no match for the High Priest.

Since he had already decided to switch sides, this actually made things more convenient.

"Because of the Heavenly Dao Golden List, my Soul Power cultivation has already reached level 96, meeting the minimum standard to enter the Elder Hall; at most, I just lack the seniority. When Bibi Dong was alive, wanting to defect to the High Priest would inevitably have invited suspicion of betraying my master. But now..."

Bear Demon Douluo's thoughts were self-evident. Since the person was already dead, could she still constrain him?

On the other hand, Yue Guan and Gui Mei had originally decided to betray Spirit Hall and defect to the suddenly rising Qingyun Sect.

They had already made their plans, but after seeing Qian Daoliu's combat power with their own eyes, the two lackeys couldn't help but feel hesitant.

"With such cultivation, if Qian Daoliu doesn't hold a grudge, then it's fine. But if he does, given the strength of the Qingyun Sect and the cultivation of His Excellency Green Robe, can they really withstand Qian Daoliu?"

"Sigh~ Things have reached this point; it's better to reconsider. At worst, I'll just continue being a dog and selling my life for Spirit Hall!"

However, just as everyone present was lost in their own thoughts after witnessing Bibi Dong's death, suddenly, following the condensation of a dark green Soul Power, a massive energy cocoon formed in the air.

With a "crack," as the energy cocoon shattered, amidst the incredulous gazes of the crowd, Bibi Dong's figure walked out from within.

Not only was her physical body intact, but even her Supreme Pontiff robes did not have a single wrinkle. It was as if Qian Daoliu's previous attack had never landed on her at all.

How is this possible!

Amidst the surprised gazes of the crowd, Bibi Dong gave a contemptuous smile. As a Titled Douluo who had cultivated both her twin spirits to Great Perfection, her means were not so simple.

The ninth Spirit Ability of her Death Spider Emperor Spirit was enough to allow her to resurrect from the dead. Although the conditions for casting it were somewhat harsh, using it just to block one of Qian Daoliu's attacks was not a difficult task!

After all, in the original Douluo story, this Spirit Ability had blocked a strike from the Sea God's projection!

"Senior, I concede!" "Just as you said before, everything that happened before, let us wipe the slate clean!"

Qian Daoliu: "..." Terrible! He had spoken too definitively and was now somewhat cornered.

But it made sense; she was, after all, the Saintess of Spirit Hall who had been carefully selected back then. If she couldn't even take one of his moves, then Spirit Hall's eye for talent would be too poor.

Moreover... regardless of anything else, Bibi Dong was Qian Renxue's mother. He could disregard her life or death, but he always had to consider Xue'er's feelings.

"In that case... this is quite good!" Composing his mind, he casually dissipated the golden longsword gathered in his hand, and Qian Daoliu waved his hand.

"A gentleman's words are hard to retract! You killed Ji'er once, and I killed you once, which can be considered fair. From now on, you and my Qian family owe each other nothing!"

Qian Daoliu's meaning was clear; he was ready to let Bibi Dong leave. Unfortunately, it is easier to invite a god than to send one away, and Bibi Dong was not the type of person willing to suffer a loss.

"Hehe, Senior, your words are truly laughable. Your account is settled, but my account has not yet been settled!"

"Bibi Dong, what do you want to do!"

"Simple. Nominally, I am not only the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall but also Qian Xunji's wife; you cannot deny this, right? Since that is the case, when I leave, I should naturally have a share of Qian Xunji's belongings. Senior, do you acknowledge this or not!"

Before getting her hands on the items, Bibi Dong was willing to call Qian Daoliu "Senior." It wasn't because she respected the old and cherished the young, or that she truly treated Qian Daoliu as an elder for the sake of Qian Xunji.

It was because the old guy opposite her was simply too strong. Because he was an honest man, as long as she cornered him, he would naturally agree. But if she pushed an honest man too hard... If Qian Daoliu really wanted to take action, with Bibi Dong's current cultivation, she would definitely not be able to walk out of Spirit City alive!

"When Ji'er was alive, you never said such things. Now that he is dead, you suddenly know you are a daughter-in-law of the Qian family. Fine, since you want them, take them! As for the people of my Spirit Hall, I will never stop anyone who is willing to follow you. This is what I, Qian Daoliu, have said, and I will never cause trouble afterwards!"

Spirit Hall was a force gathered through faith in the Angel God. Qian Daoliu was confident that even though Bibi Dong had held the position of Supreme Pontiff for over a decade and had promoted many confidants to consolidate her rule, her power was at its zenith!

But Qian Daoliu also believed that not everyone was willing to follow her! Just like now.

Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Bibi Dong gestured with her eyes, originally intending to take all her direct subordinates and seek another path.

Loyal followers like Hu Liena and Ghost Leopard Douluo were indeed reliable; they stepped forward directly and stood firmly behind Bibi Dong.

But what made her frown was that fence-sitters like Bear Demon Douluo, as well as Gui Mei and Yue Guan, were hesitant.

"Hmph!" Bibi Dong snorted coldly. "Truly a group of ungrateful ingrates!"

However, to some extent, this could also be considered a good thing. Adversity reveals true feelings; those willing to follow her at this time were naturally her loyal subordinates, who could be used with confidence in the future.

After some back-and-forth, with both of them wearing frowning expressions, the group willing to follow Bibi Dong packed their bags and stood outside the city of Spirit City.

One hadn't expected so many people to be willing to follow, while the other hadn't expected that after being Supreme Pontiff for so many years, she would have so few loyal confidants.

Several Titled Douluo, some Spirit Masters with high Soul Power, and the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall. Admittedly, for Spirit Hall, this strength was nothing. As long as Qian Daoliu was there, Spirit Hall would always be Spirit Hall!

However, no matter how much they deceived themselves, it could not change the truth that Spirit Hall had been split!
