Douluo: Qian Renxue’s Road to Defeating the Gods

Chapter 515. Disaster
The atmosphere in the huge conference room was extremely solemn. Almost all the high-level officials of Spirit Hall were present, but their faces undoubtedly looked very bad because of Bibi Dong's reform.

"Now is a critical period and many places need money. It is understandable to suspend the salary payments of senior executives for a period of time. I have no objection to this." The Golden Crocodile Priest agreed first, and the other elders looked a little better after hearing this. The Golden Crocodile Priest's meaning was very clear. It was okay to suspend the salary payments, but he did not mention the subsequent reforms proposed by Bibi Dong, implicitly expressing his opposition.

Bibi Dong had no intention of just holding a single meeting to get the entire Spirit Hall's top leadership to accept it, so she ended the meeting hastily. At the same time, she sent people to the five principalities of Tiandou to deliver letters, and also met with Xue Qinghe in secret to discuss their views on the situation.

In the Spirit Hall, the elders sent Bibi Dong away and could not wait to find the Golden Crocodile Priest and hold another emergency meeting. At the meeting, they once again had a heated discussion on the reform of the Spirit Hall.

"It can be said that the Spirit Hall's reform is indeed beneficial, but we have been working hard for the Spirit Hall, but we have to be responsible for all the citizens of a region in order to get salary subsidies and promotion opportunities. I can't understand this at all. We are not officials, so why do we do this? Doesn't the Spirit Hall determine positions based on strength?"

Reform means breaking up the current comfortable environment, but if a person stays in a comfortable environment for a long time, he will not allow anyone to disrupt the status quo. Just like the vested interests, it is difficult to make them give up their cake unless they pay the price of blood.

"Yes, is it really easy for us to manage the Spirit Hall now? Everyone, we are all responsible for a certain place, capturing fallen spirit masters, maintaining the stability of the continent, responsible for the soul hunting forests in various places, protecting soul beasts, awakening spirits, and training spirit masters who are willing to join the Spirit Hall, not to mention the various non-soul master schools that His Majesty has established now. Everyone, we have done enough, right?"

Many bishops nodded. After all, they only regarded the Spirit Hall as a sect. How many things could a sect do? Compared with the Spirit Hall's capture of fallen soul masters, awakening spirits, being in charge of the Soul Hunting Forest, and dealing with local officials, it was really troublesome.

"Times have changed, everyone. I know Her Majesty's intention. Now that she has spoken, things will definitely be done..." The Golden Crocodile Priest shook his head. The reform of the Spirit Hall was probably inevitable. For him, it was mixed. This was a distribution of interests. Bibi Dong had touched their foundation. Why did she do this at such a critical moment? Didn't she also think that the suggestions they put forward were good? Why did she inexplicably launch a new reform policy? This really caught them off guard.

"So what? With our power, we can force Bibi Dong to step down from the Pope's position and elect a new Pope!"

Some people in the meeting room started to make a fuss, but his proposal actually received quite a lot of support, but there were even more people who opposed it!
"You are brainless. Not to mention who will be the Pope after His Holiness leaves, let me ask you, without His Holiness, can you solve the Haotian Alliance? You can defeat God, right?" The Lion Priest shouted to the audience. Although he was a rough man, he was truly impressed when he saw Bibi Dong's meticulous plan to take over the Xingluo Empire in one fell swoop.

"Young Master can do the same. It was Young Master who defeated the God! She is more qualified to be the Pope of the Spirit Hall!"

"Mother and daughter are of one mind. Do you think the young master is unaware of the reforms of His Holiness the Pope?" The Qingluan priest who was sitting in meditation could not help but speak. These people were so stupid that it was frightening.

But when people are excited, they often lose their rationality and do not think deeply about things. Many times they only come to their senses after the fact.

"Then nominate the Golden Crocodile Priest to be the Pope!"

"Which bastard said that? Stand up!" The Golden Crocodile Priest was immediately furious when he heard it. His roar made the entire conference room silent. Everyone lowered their heads and dared not say a word. "I tell you, reform is imperative, and the unification of the continent is unstoppable. You all worked your way up from the bottom. Don't you know what kind of life the people are living now? Since Your Majesty wants to be the empress, you must be responsible for every citizen. This is a major event that will change the continent, and it is a responsibility that the staff of the Spirit Hall must bear. Go back and think about it carefully. The meeting is adjourned!"

Amid the roar of the Golden Crocodile Priest, everyone left the meeting room and returned to their own residences or the families behind them to start analyzing the future...

Qian Renxue is also traveling aimlessly in the Xingluo Empire. During this trip, she will fully understand the true life of everyone on this continent...

In the Tiandou Empire, Xue Beng was in a good mood, because ever since Xue Qinghe escaped, he had been worried that Ge Long would send troops to attack, but now the report in his hand made him very surprised.

"Everyone, I thought Xue Qinghe would send a large army to counterattack me, but I forgot that his army is originally citizens of the Tiandou Empire. How could they turn against their own homeland? Look, tens of thousands of people have escaped in just a few days. Inform General Tang Long and ask him to scout for the time being. Remember not to attack!"

Yes, after Ge Long left, in order to please the Haotian Sect, Xue Beng appointed Haotian Sect's Tang Long as a general to defend the Tiandou Empire, and also recruited another 100,000 soldiers to fight against Xue Qinghe's counterattack.

"Is there such a thing?" Yu Xiaogang has been suspicious since the last border battle. He thinks this matter is definitely not that simple! There must be a conspiracy by Bibi Dong, otherwise why didn't the soldiers flee before, but started to flee a few days after Xue Qinghe returned!

"Your Majesty, I think there must be a conspiracy here!"

"Oh? Please speak, Master!" Xue Beng couldn't help but take Yu Xiaogang's words seriously after hearing them. He had listened to a lot of advice since the last incident. After all, he was tricked by Ge Long due to his stupidity and let Xue Qinghe escape. He felt uncomfortable sitting in this seat.

Yu Xiaogang was not in a hurry. He took out a feather fan from somewhere on his body and slowly waved it.

"Someone, come and fan the Imperial Master!" Xue Beng saw this and thought it was unacceptable. How could he let the Imperial Master get too hot!

"Alright, alright!" Yu Xiaogang rolled his eyes, internally blaming Xue Beng for being so tactless.

"Your Majesty, do you remember the plan that Dai Tianfeng and his men from the Xing Luo Empire had made?" Yu Xiaogang paced slowly in the hall, shaking his head as he walked.

"The Xingluo Empire's plan is a plan that spreads everywhere. It prevents the nobles from rising up nationwide, making Bibi Dong so busy that she can't take care of herself. She divides her troops to suppress the uprising, which has left her internal forces empty. In the end, she goes straight to Huanglong. Although Bibi Dong handled it well, she actually thinks that this plan is flawless. Otherwise, why would she steal it and use it against us?"
