Chapter 322: Mother and Daughter at Odds
At Jialing Pass, Qian Renxue did not know how long she had been unconscious before she finally woke up.
The moment she regained consciousness, all she could feel was excruciating pain throughout her body. Her injuries were severe.
Especially when she remembered Yang Xiong's final move, a chill ran through her body. Even though she had not died, she still felt a lingering fear, as if Yang Xiong could kill her at any moment.
Qian Renxue knew very well that she had ultimately lost this battle. A dignified Angel God had been defeated by a mere mortal soul master. This was the greatest humiliation for a deity and one that had not been experienced in the divine realm for tens of thousands of years.
A look of unwillingness appeared in Qian Renxue's eyes: "Yang Xiong, why didn't you kill me? Do you just want to humiliate me? Do you want to see me fail again and again?"
Qian Renxue carefully looked around the room. It was a very quiet room, and from the decorations, it appeared to be a woman's room.
Her face changed slightly, and her eyes filled with hatred as she realized that this must be that woman's room. The room had her scent.
At that moment, several figures quickly arrived by Qian Renxue's side. It was Bibi Dong and the six great elders.
Golden Crocodile Douluo looked extremely worried: "Miss, you've finally woken up. Your condition earlier was terrifying."
Qian Renxue said: "Grandfather Golden Crocodile, thank you for your concern. I'm fine now."
"Don't worry. Although I lost to Yang Xiong this time, he is just an ordinary mortal. Next time, I will surely defeat him and restore the glory of my Angel Clan."
Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Qian Renxue, who seemed to be recovering her strength, and let out a sigh of relief: "Miss, it's most important that you're alright. The light of the Angel God will eventually shine upon the entire world. Those rebels will regret it soon enough."
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong stood silently on the other side, coldly watching Qian Renxue and Golden Crocodile Douluo exchange pleasantries. She appeared somewhat out of place.
Qian Renxue then spoke: "Grandfather Golden Crocodile, you all go out for a while. I have something to discuss with this woman."
The six elders exchanged looks but ultimately left the room.
At that moment, Qian Renxue's expression turned icy cold, and a trace of mockery appeared on her lips: "I never expected that when I woke up, I would be in this room. I always wished to rest in your room, but unfortunately, I never had the chance."
"Now, however, I feel utterly disgusted, especially with your presence here."
Bibi Dong's face darkened: "Xue'er, what do you mean by that? Why must we let things come to this point?"
Qian Renxue laughed bitterly: "What is there to discuss between us? I once considered you my sister, but now, you are my enemy, my enemy for life. You are the person I hate most in this world."
Bibi Dong's anger flared instantly: "How dare you! Don't think that just because you are a god now, you can do whatever you want. I am the Empress of the Spirit Empire, the supreme ruler of the Spirit Empire."
"Besides, you, a dignified god, have actually been defeated by a 98th-level young man. What right do you have to see your grandfather?"
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth: "You have no right to speak of my grandfather. He gave everything for me, even his life and his ambition. Everything he did was for me, and all of it became the offering for my ascension."
"And what about you? What have you done for me? You are nothing but a selfish woman, the most vicious woman in the world."
Bibi Dong's expression changed: "What exactly do you want to say? The Spirit Empire is in great danger. Now that even you have lost, do you think we can resist the armies of the two great empires? Does the Spirit Empire have any hope left?"
Qian Renxue snorted coldly: "Isn't this something you, the Empress of the Spirit Empire, should be worried about? I'm just a lonely person, unworthy of such responsibility."
Bibi Dong's anger grew: "What madness are you spouting? Even though you lost to Yang Xiong this time, you are a god. He is just a human, his recovery ability is far inferior to yours. As long as you recover quickly, whether it's Jialing Pass or the entire world, it will all be in your hands."
Qian Renxue shook her head: "Bibi Dong, I truly despise you. Besides your ambition, do you care about anything else?"
"From the beginning, you've only treated me as a pawn, as a tool for your conquest of the world. But have you ever thought about this? I am a person with my own thoughts. I won't be controlled and used by you for my entire life."
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth: "Xue'er, hearing you say this makes me very disappointed. What has caused this drastic change in you? Can't you forget the glory of your Angel Clan just because you became a god? Can you forget your grandfather's lifelong ideals?"
Qian Renxue's face showed great determination: "This is the matter of my Angel Clan, and it's not for an outsider like you to question."
Bibi Dong fell silent for a while before speaking again: "I know this failure has hit you hard. You should think about it carefully. Maybe you'll understand your grandfather's and the elders' sacrifices."
Qian Renxue snorted: "I don't need you to manage my affairs. If you really care, you should focus on your own problems."
"Also, I will gather all the elders and remove you from your position as the Pope. You are not worthy of sitting in that seat."
Bibi Dong's face turned immediately furious: "Do you know what you're saying? Changing leaders in the midst of a crisis is a huge taboo. Besides, without me, could the Spirit Empire have developed to this point?"
Qian Renxue fixed Bibi Dong with a fierce stare: "I'll ask you just one question: are you truly guilt-free about my father's death? Did you kill him?"
Bibi Dong's face shifted in shock: "What's wrong with you? Why are you asking such a question? Everyone knows that your father was killed by Tang Hao."
Qian Renxue's face twisted into a smirk: "I used to have doubts about Tang Hao's words, but your reaction is too strange. Under a god's gaze, I can sense any shift in your thoughts."
"Just now, in that instant, you were guilty. You didn't dare face the truth of my question. So, Tang Hao was right. He only wounded my father, but the one who truly killed him was you. You're the one who made me an orphan. You destroyed my life. You ruined everything for me."
Bibi Dong's face twisted in rage: "What do you know? Your father was my shame, and the shame of the entire Angel Clan. It was his existence that showed how dirty the Angel Clan's bloodline was. It was only natural that I killed him."
Qian Renxue's eyes welled up with tears: "So you admit it? You personally killed my father? For your ambition, you framed the Haotian Sect for my father's death and maximized the use of his death."
"And with my father's death, you became the Pope of the Spirit Hall, even using the Haotian Sect to secure your position."
"From the very beginning, it was always about you. To you, I was just a hidden threat, someone who would avenge my father. No wonder you've never acknowledged me as your daughter."
Bibi Dong suddenly burst into wild laughter: "Hahaha! Qian Renxue, you are an ungrateful wretch. Your Angel Clan is the most evil bloodline in the world. Though you appear pure, you can't hide the filth in your bloodline."
"You know nothing! Your father only showed the righteous side in front of you, but the things he did behind your back are enough to make both gods and men detest him."
Qian Renxue's tears flowed freely: "So, because you hate my father, you've hated me all these years, even wanting to kill me."
"But fortunately, I've always had my grandfather's protection. Whether in the past or now, I don't need you as a mother. You're not fit to be my mother."
Qian Renxue wiped away her tears, and her face turned cold: "From now on, I will no longer be bound by you. There is no longer any relationship between us."
"Oh, and I forgot to tell you. I know you've always had your mind on Yu Xiaogang, and that because of him, you've hated my father. But my father did nothing wrong as a man. I've already avenged him. I've crippled both Yu Xiaogang's and Liu Erlong's martial souls."
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth in fury: "You lunatic! Xiaogang had nothing to do with the past, and yet you dragged an innocent person into this. You actually crippled Xiaogang's martial soul. You are the greatest demon in the world."
Qian Renxue held back the pain on her face: "If I'm a demon, then what are you? The inheritor of the Asura God, born to oppose my Angel Clan, the darkest and most evil existence in the world?"
Bibi Dong's face streaked with two lines of tears: "What do you know? Everything that's happened today is because of your Angel Clan. I didn't create the Spirit Empire for my own ambition; it was to destroy the foundation of your Angel Clan from the very root."
"Now the Spirit Empire is mighty, but don't forget that we are also enemies to the world. Even you, a god, have lost. The Angel Clan will be completely erased from this world."
Qian Renxue's eyes burned with fury: "Why are you doing this? What good does it do you?"
Bibi Dong laughed maniacally: "What good do I need? Qian Xunji destroyed my purity, ruined my life, and made me suffer unprecedented humiliation. He tied me to the Spirit Empire for my entire life. I want your Angel Clan to accompany me in my burial."
Qian Renxue was filled with shock as she heard this. Qian Xunji had always been her faith, her beloved father, the purest person in her eyes.
Qian Renxue's body trembled with anger: "You… you… you! This is all lies! These are all your slanders! My father is absolutely not this kind of person."
Bibi Dong's madness grew even more intense: "Do you think your beloved Qian Daoliu is a good person? He only cared about the inheritance of the Angel Clan. He witnessed everything, and not only did he condone your father's insult to me, he also allowed me to kill your father. He is the real culprit behind everything."
"Otherwise, do you think Qian Daoliu supported me to become the Pope of the Spirit Hall? It's because he's guilty. It's because your Angel Clan owes me!"
