Douluo Continent: Gretchen at the start, empowered by the Star God.

Chapter 96 Sendoryu requests to speak.

As expected...

With a deafening crash, the magnificent Papal Palace collapsed, transforming from a glorious sight into a desolate and crumbling ruin.

The difference between these two changes is merely a matter of a single move.

A huge cloud of dust rose up, completely obscuring what lay below.

Li Huo made no other move, still looking down at the smoke below, his eyes seeming to anticipate something.

Xuanbing waved her hand, dispelling the dust that enveloped her, and continued to enjoy her melon.

Both of them knew that a Title Douluo who possessed a portion of Rakshasa God power wouldn't lose his fighting ability so easily.

Moreover, although Xuanbing and Lihuo have already let go of their past lives, the memory of being besieged by a bunch of gods in their previous lives is still vivid in their minds. Now, the young master has no intention of attacking the God Realm in the short term, and their strength also needs some time to recover.

Now, it's not too much to take down a god's successor to vent your anger, is it?

Sure enough, just as the smoke was about to dissipate, a spider web shot out from it.

Li Huo easily burned the attacking spider web to ashes, then condensed a ball of flame and threw it downwards.

As the smoke cleared, the view below was revealed.

Leaving aside the condition of the other Spirit Hall Soul Masters, Bibi Dong was mostly unharmed, though slightly disheveled.

Bibi Dong had already changed her appearance; she now had spider legs and a human body, and her appearance was extremely creepy.

"Ninth Soul Skill—"

"Bang!"

Just as Bibi Dong was about to unleash her soul skill to teach Li Huo a lesson, Li Huo plummeted from the sky, interrupting her attack.

And what follows will be another one-sided massacre...

-

"Miss, may I have a chat?" Just then, Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had been watching for a long time, came to Xuanbing's side and asked respectfully.

"Hmm? Aren't you going to help?" Xuanbing had noticed this guy who had been sneaking around on the edge of the battlefield a while ago, but since he hadn't made any move, she didn't bother with him.

"Miss is joking. This was a mistake made by Bibi Dong, the Pope, so of course she should bear the consequences. We have no objections." Golden Crocodile Douluo explained. He now understood his elder brother's words. Putting aside the titled Douluo using fire who was suppressing Bibi Dong in the distance, he could feel the same pressure as his elder brother Qian Daoliu, even more so, from the person in front of him.

"You guys cut ties pretty cleanly." Xuan Bing looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo with interest.

"You jest, Miss..."

"Alright, that's all you ever say," Xuan Bing interrupted Golden Crocodile Douluo. "Speak, what do you want?"

"It's nothing major, just wanted to express the Spirit Hall's apology to Lord Lang Lei and clear up the misunderstanding between us," Golden Crocodile Douluo explained. "Bibi Dong, as Pope, cannot represent the entire Spirit Hall, and her thoughts are not our will."

"Really?" Xuan Bing smiled. "Those two Title Douluos hanging at the city gate aren't saying that, are they? Title Douluos must have a pretty high status in the Spirit Hall, right?"

On the Douluo Continent, the relationship between the Spirit Hall and various other forces is complex, and every conflict and reconciliation affects the fate of the entire continent.

As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong's every move naturally attracts much attention. However, her previous actions undoubtedly offended Lang Lei, and the events at the city gate had already been known to various forces, who were all speculating about what Bibi Dong had done.

Against this backdrop, Lang Lei's men suddenly attacked the Spirit Hall, pushing the tense situation to the forefront. In particular, Pope Bibi Dong was no match for Li Huo, and the Spirit Hall suddenly became the weaker party.

As a top expert of the Spirit Hall, Golden Crocodile Douluo quickly stated his position to Xuan Bing after receiving Qian Daoliu's approval: "Those are Bibi Dong's subordinates. Bibi Dong's offensive behavior only represents her personal opinion and has nothing to do with the Spirit Hall as a whole."

This statement not only showed respect for Lang Lei, but also demonstrated the Spirit Hall's sincerity in hoping to ease the situation. Golden Crocodile Douluo's words revealed a conciliatory tone, indicating that the Spirit Hall was willing to befriend Lang Lei and seek the possibility of peaceful coexistence.

"Is that so...?"

The battle in the distance was still ongoing, and seeing that Li Huo hadn't quite had his fill yet, Xuan Bing pretended to be deep in thought.

Seeing that Xuanbing did not directly reject the idea, Golden Crocodile Douluo hurriedly conveyed an important message to Xuanbing: "Qian Daoliu, our Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, is the true strongest person in the Spirit Hall and the representative of the Spirit Hall's will. We hope you can give us an opportunity to allow the Grand Elder to speak with Lord Lang Lei."

As the spiritual leader of the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu's invitation undoubtedly carried immense weight. This was not only an opportunity for dialogue, but also a chance for both sides to resolve misunderstandings and enhance understanding. Golden Crocodile Douluo could only say this, as it was, after all, the will of his elder brother, Qian Daoliu.

Xuanbing nodded, indicating that she understood.

Since the young master didn't order them to destroy the Spirit Hall directly, he must mean he wants to have a talk.

Seeing that the other party had agreed, Golden Crocodile Douluo finally breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the pressure brought by the other party was just too great.

After a while, Xuanbing and Lihuo left, leaving behind a mess...

He sent a message to Lang Lei in his mind, and a portal immediately appeared in front of Xuan Bing and Li Huo.

After crossing the Anywhere Door, Xuanbing truthfully conveyed the Spirit Hall's sincerity and Qian Daoliu's invitation to Lang Lei.

After listening, Lang Lei remained silent for a moment. He certainly felt the goodwill released by the Spirit Hall, but this was based on their powerful strength. Without power, they would only be the ones being bullied.

However, Lang Lei was still willing to talk to the so-called "strongest in the sky".

After all, this meeting is not only about the personal grudges between Bibi Dong and Lang Lei, but also about the balance and future between the Spirit Hall, Lang Lei, and the various forces.

Before his plan began, Lang Lei did not want the Douluo Continent to descend into chaos.

In the ever-changing world of Douluo Continent, the choices of every powerful individual are crucial. Xuanbing and Lihuo, who have already demonstrated their strength, will undoubtedly be the guiding lights in this turbulent era.

The fact that Xuanbing and Lihuo often followed Lang Lei was no secret to the top powers on the continent.

Therefore, Lang Lei's attitude and performance this time are particularly important.

The Spirit Hall, as the maintainer of order on the continent, does have some merit. After all, evil spirit masters are suppressed to the point that they can't rise up, let alone form a sect like in the era of Douluo Continent II: The Legend of Tang Dynasty.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Lang Lei still hopes that the Spirit Hall can continue to exist, at least providing a path for the common people to rise in status.

However, Bibi Dong, that madwoman, can no longer continue to be the Pope, otherwise he will definitely have no shortage of trouble in the future.

As for what Bibi Dong went to do...

All I can say is, she should take care of herself...
