Douluo Continent: Azure Dragon Slays Evil, Qilin Suppresses the World

Chapter 35 Forcing Bibi Dong to Abdicate

Bibidon was handling official business in the Papal Palace at that moment.

She sat on the magnificent papal throne, perusing documents sent from all over the world.

The Spirit Hall has been very busy lately. The Heaven Dou Empire has suddenly cracked down on corruption and is making a big fuss about it.

The Star Luo Empire was also restless, with constant border clashes.

In addition, Tang Hao, that madman, has been attacking dozens of the Spirit Hall's branch halls everywhere. Although they are all small branch halls, the impact is too great.

Bibi Dong rubbed her temples, looking somewhat tired.

Although she was at level 99, the position of Pope was not easy to hold; there were too many things to deal with every day.

Just then, the guard rushed in and knelt on one knee.

"Your Holiness, the Golden Crocodile and the Azure Phoenix have arrived."

Bibi Dong frowned. "The people from the Offering Hall?"

What are they doing here? Normally, the sanctuary and the papal palace keep to themselves, unless something major happens.

"Let them in."

The guards withdrew, and soon Golden Crocodile and Green Bend entered.

Bibidon remained seated on her throne; she was now the Pope, her status no less than that of a patron.

Bibi Dong spoke calmly.

"What brings you two here?"

The golden crocodile didn't keep anyone in suspense and went straight to the point.

"I have come on the orders of the Grand Elder to deliver a message: starting today, the Spirit Hall will pursue Tang Hao and his son Tang San with all its might, regardless of whether they live or die."

"Especially Tang San, he is Tang Hao's son, with twin martial souls and considerable talent. He must be nipped in the bud before he grows up."

"If something goes wrong because of some good-for-nothing, then your time as pope is over."

Bibi Dong's heart sank, but she remained outwardly calm as she looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo with a cold tone.

"What does 'Golden Crocodile Offering' mean? Tang Hao's son, Tang San? How come I don't know about this?"

Upon hearing this, the golden crocodile let out a cold laugh.

"Your Holiness, there's no need to play dumb. With your abilities, how could you not know that Yu Xiaogang has been in Notting City for so many years?"

"How could he not know that he took on a disciple named Tang San? How could he not know that Tang San is Tang Hao's son?"

"You've been pretending not to know all along, simply because you want to use Yu Xiaogang to train Tang San, so that Tang San can grow up and deal with our Hall of Offerings and the Grand Elder."

"This game was played very well, but the High Priest isn't stupid. He was just too lazy to care before, but now that he's awake, this game should end."

Bibi Dong's mind was in turmoil. She did indeed know that Yu Xiaogang was in Notting City, and she also knew about the disciple O he had taken on.

But Tang San is Tang Hao's son? She really didn't know that.

The fact that Jin E spoke so confidently suggests it's true, and the fact that Qian Daoliu personally gave the order confirms it.

She tried to remain calm and began to speak.

"I truly do not know that Yu Xiaogang is in Notting City, but I do not care who his disciples are. As for Tang San being Tang Hao's son? That is utter nonsense."

"If you two have no evidence, don't make baseless accusations. I am the Pope, not someone you can slander at will."

Seeing that she wouldn't shed a tear until she saw the coffin, Jin E didn't bother to play games with her.

"Evidence? The High Priest's words are the evidence. If he says so, then it is. His Holiness the Pope had better cooperate, otherwise..."

"You should know the Grand Elder's temper. He was able to help you rise to power back then, and he can bring you down now."

Bibi Dong clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms.

She hates it most when people bring up what happened back then; it's her scar, her shame.

Over the years, she has worked tirelessly to cultivate her skills and manage her affairs, all in an effort to escape the shadow of Qian Daoliu.

But now it seems there's no way to escape, so she can only take a deep breath and suppress the anger in her heart.

"I understand. I will cooperate with the manhunt order, but you two keepers, remember that I am the Pope, not your puppet."

"Next time, have Qian Daoliu come in person. You have no right to point fingers at me."

The golden crocodile and the blue phoenix exchanged a glance and laughed, a laugh filled with sarcasm and disdain.

"Bibi Dong, remember this: the Spirit Hall belongs to the Qian family. Everything you have, including your life, was given to you by the Spirit Hall."

"In other words, as long as you are alive, the Spirit Hall cannot owe you anything. If it weren't for the Spirit Hall, you would probably be imprisoned by some nobles and used as a breeding tool by now."

"After all, it's twin martial souls. Which noble wouldn't want such a talent? The child born from that talent would definitely be exceptional."

Qingluan continued.

"Just be a good pope and everyone will be fine. If you dare to pull any tricks..."

"You should know that when Xue'er was young, the Grand Elder just didn't want Xue'er to lose her mother. Now that Xue'er has grown up, he really doesn't mind being the villain."

"Yu Xiaogang and Tang San are currently in Soto City of the Barak Kingdom, at an academy called Shrek Academy."

"This is a choice you are given: the position of Pope or the person himself. You can only choose one."

After they finished speaking, the two turned and left, leaving Bibi Dong alone on the throne, her face ashen.

Her palms were already bleeding from being pinched, but that pain was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.

She could not possibly give up the position of Pope; it was something she had obtained through countless means over the years, it was her right, it was her dignity.

Would he really target Yu Xiaogang? That's even more impossible.

That was the last bit of warmth in her heart, the reason she was still alive.

Even though Yu Xiaogang broke her heart, even though he no longer loved her, she... still couldn't let go.

Bibi Dong closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair. At that moment, she felt very tired.

It felt like I was back on that helpless night twenty years ago.

She thought that becoming pope would give her control over everything, but now it seems she was too naive. In the face of absolute power, authority is a joke.

Qian Daoliu could decide her life or death with just a single sentence.

She was able to become Pope because of Qian Daoliu's permission; if Qian Daoliu hadn't allowed it, she would be nothing.

Bibi Dong opened her eyes, a resolute glint in them.

She couldn't just sit and wait to die; she had to find a way to get Yu Xiaogang to leave Soto City.

Tang San... must die!

Only if Tang San dies will Qian Daoliu be satisfied. Although Yu Xiaogang will be sad, at least he will live.

As for herself... she needs to speed up her divine examination.

Only by breaking through level 100 and becoming a god can one truly break free from Qian Daoliu's control.

Bibi Dong stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the scenery of Wuhun City. The city was large and prosperous, but it did not belong to her.

She's only staying here temporarily and could be kicked out at any time. To truly possess it, she needs to have comparable strength.

"Someone come here."

Bibi Donghuan became a trusted confidant.

"What are Your Holiness's orders?"

Bibi Dong said in a deep voice.

"Pass down the order: send Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo to Soto City in the Barak Kingdom, with Shrek Academy as the target, Tang San."

"Remember, he must be alive. I will interrogate him personally to see if he is indeed Tang Hao's son."

"yes!"

The trusted confidant accepted the order and hurriedly left.

Bibi Dong sat back on her throne, her eyes cold.

She couldn't kill Yu Xiaogang, but she could kill Tang San.

Once Tang San dies, Yu Xiaogang will lose his support, and he will have no choice but to come back and beg her.
