After everyone left.
In the vast square, only Yu Xiaogang, who had completely fainted from the excruciating pain and humiliation, and Bibi Dong, who stood there with a distorted face, her fingernails digging deep into her palms, her whole body exuding an aura of resentment and venom.
...
Afterwards, inside the offering hall.
Bibi Dong angrily smashed a porcelain bottle on the ground and questioned Qian Daoliu, who was praying to the angel statue, "Qian Daoliu! You were once a judge elder of the Spirit Hall! They are opposing the Spirit Hall, why didn't you kill them?!"
Qian Daoliu did not open his eyes, continuing his prayer gestures and ignoring her.
"Oppose us? Do you think we old folks are blind?" The Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was also in the Hall of Worship at the moment, said disdainfully.
"We've all witnessed what happened. From beginning to end, isn't it all your fault for insisting on keeping that good-for-nothing? So what if you appointed him as an elder without authorization in the name of the Pope? Others in the Spirit Hall may fear you, but we in the Hall of Offerings are not!"
"He's not a piece of trash! Second Elder! Watch your words!" Bibi Dong snapped, shouting at the slightest provocation.
Seeing her so infatuated with love, Jin E was speechless and simply closed his eyes to rest.
"How foolish!"
A clear female voice rang out from outside the hall, making all the worshippers present take notice.
Qian Renxue walked in slowly, looking at Bibi Dong with disdain.
She had already received the news while she was in the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.
It's said that... Bibi Dong took in a middle-aged man and kept him by her side as... a male concubine?
At first, Qian Renxue was a little skeptical because she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.
But now, because of the finals, Qian Renxue also took the opportunity to return to Wuhun City, so she was certain.
The news is true.
The mother who gave birth to her is real...
This time, Qian Renxue was truly disappointed in her!
"What kind of look is that?" Bibi Dong felt a little uncomfortable under Qian Renxue's gaze, but she still maintained a tough demeanor.
Qian Renxue ignored her and instead went to the other worshippers, greeting them with a smile.
"It's Xiaoxue! It's been so long! You're so much prettier than when you were little!"
"What are you saying? As if Xiaoxue wasn't pretty when she was little!"
"That's right, that's right! Our Xiaoxue has been beautiful since she was little! Come on, let Grandpa take a good look!"
When facing Bibi Dong, these worshippers would put on a sour face.
But now, seeing Qian Renxue, everyone is all smiles.
This disparity made Bibi Dong grit her teeth.
Qian Daoliu then finished his prayer, turned around, looked at Bibi Dong, and said calmly.
"Go back to the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong. You should no longer concern yourself with matters concerning Purple Star Academy. You should understand the kind of being you are facing."
"That green-haired woman," a hint of solemnity flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes, "her strength is unfathomable, definitely no less than mine!"
"Besides, don't forget about the white-haired woman mentioned in the intelligence. Their whereabouts are even more unpredictable."
"What would have happened to the Spirit Hall if we had actually gone to war back then? What would have happened to the people living in Spirit City? Have you thought about these things?"
"To tell you the truth, Bibi Dong, Xiaoxue sent me a message before..."
Qian Daoliu briefly explained the battle between Xue Di and Di Tian as described in Qian Renxue's letter.
"With one peerless Douluo after another appearing in the world, things have long been out of our control."
Qian Daoliu sighed: "I once thought that no one on the continent could shake my Spirit Hall, but now it seems that this is not the case."
"As for that young man named Dongfang Jing, I cannot see through him. Perhaps the divine test he is currently undergoing is nearing its end."
...
The scene changes.
Seeing that it was getting late, the group from Purple Star Academy who left the Spirit Hall stayed at a hotel in Spirit City.
The room was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.
"Alright, now it's time to distribute the treasures."
Dongfang Jing smiled and snapped his fingers, fulfilling his promise.
He took out the three soul bones that the Spirit Hall had rewarded him with, as well as the several soul bones that he had obtained from hunting the Demon Orca King on Seagod Island and the Wolf Bandit Leader in the wasteland.
In an instant, the treasure shone brightly, and the rich soul power fluctuations illuminated the entire room.
The girls stared wide-eyed at the dazzling array of soul bones before them, their breathing becoming rapid.
"Holy crap! One yuan, two yuan... seven yuan... wait?"
As the girls were counting, they suddenly realized something was wrong.
Why is there one extra of each of the three soul bones that the Spirit Hall rewarded us with?
This was, of course, perfectly replicated by Dongfang Jing.
But Dongfang Jing didn't want to explain too much, and deliberately put the soul bone away, saying, "Don't worry about the details, just tell me if you want it or not."
"I want it! I really want it! Please, Captain!"
"Since you want it so much, then I'll reward you!"
As he spoke, Dongfang Jing took out the treasure...
He first stuffed the best 'copy' of the 100,000-year-old Demon Orca King's left leg bone into Dongfang Yao's hand.
The girls naturally wouldn't say that Dongfang Jing was unfair.
After all, Dongfang Yao was both his lover and his sister.
If I don't favor her, then who do I favor?
Next came two pieces of the "Ten Thousand Years of Rapid Forward Chasing Wind Left Leg," which were given to Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu respectively.
The two skulls of the illusory realm, dating back ten thousand years, were obtained by Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling.
The two pieces of right arm bone, bursting and burning with flames, were given to Dugu Yan and Jiang Zhu.
"Qiu'er, let's each take one of these skulls that condense spiritual wisdom," Dongfang Jing said.
The distribution is now complete; everyone has one piece.
After they absorb it, their strength will experience another qualitative leap.
Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of obtaining the soul bone, Dongfang Yao pulled Dongfang Jing to the side of the hall, her expression becoming serious.
"Brother, there's something I have to tell you."
Dongfang Yao took a deep breath and recounted in detail how, when Di Tian descended upon Tian Dou City, all the elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had mobilized to try and infiltrate the academy to assassinate Wang Qiu'er amidst the chaos.
As Dongfang Yao continued her story, the gentle smile on Dongfang Jing's face gradually disappeared.
An invisible killing intent emanated from him.
He slowly raised his hand, and a rhomboid prism emitting a dark red light condensed in his palm.
Dongfang Jing twirled the prism in his hand, but quickly retracted it into his body.
It's best not to involve God in the feuds between people.
"What a magnificent beast spirit, the best in the world!"
"Since they're courting death... then I'll grant their wish!"
Dongfang Yao shrank back and asked cautiously, "Brother, are you planning to destroy this sect?"
Dongfang Jing shrugged: "Then wouldn't I become someone who indiscriminately kills innocent people?"
"Don't worry, this will also affect my sixth test, I will handle it properly."
