Seeing Qian Renxue so heartbroken, as if betrayed by someone close to her, Qian Daoliu could only sigh helplessly, realizing that he had been too indecisive.

He had to admit that after learning that Xiaoxue was the chosen one of the angels, he had been focused on Qian Renxue and hadn't really paid much attention to his son.

When he learned of his own death, he did have thoughts of killing her, but he knew that Xiaoxue was too young at the time. She had already lost her father and could not lose her mother as well, even if that mother was her father's killer.

His original intention was to reveal the truth after Qian Renxue successfully completed her mission and inherited the angelic position.

After all, Bibi Dong's strength is too great for Qian Renxue to withstand at her current level.

If Xiaoxue wanted, she should take matters into her own hands against her father's killer!

After Qian Renxue finally calmed down, Qian Daoliu told her all his concerns.

"Brother, you shouldn't have compromised and let Xiaoxue go to the Heaven Dou Empire back then. A country isn't so easy to infiltrate. Instead, it delayed Xiaoxue's cultivation speed. Actually, if you really wanted to unify the continent, you could have done it with your strength," Mad Lion Douluo complained from the side. He was always quite direct and said what he meant.

While a peerless Douluo might not be able to resist an empire's million-strong army, that's only because he lacks sufficient soul power. Moreover, to bring two great empires to submission, all that's needed is to control the actual rulers. Why bother making Xiaoxue some damn crown prince?

Qian Daoliu knew that Kuangshi was straightforward, so he didn't argue with him. He simply said, "This is also part of the training. Indeed, as long as we stay by Xiaoxue's side in the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong won't have a chance. However, this won't benefit Xiaoxue at all. Does she really think inheriting the Angel Godhood is so easy?"

Qian Daoliu shook his head, looking at Qian Renxue with a complicated expression: "Xiaoxue, now that you know the truth, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Qian Renxue hummed in agreement, then said, "There's only one question: why did my father resort to such a low-level method? There were clearly better ways to handle it."

She also valued chastity highly, so she wondered if Bibi Dong's actions were too low-class.

Of course, she did not think that her father had done anything wrong. Bibi Dong was at fault first, so whatever her father did to her was justifiable. In fact, she could say that her father's punishment was lenient.

This approach, while not exactly wrong, is easily criticized.

If Xiao Tian knew what Qian Renxue was thinking, he would definitely give her a big thumbs up.

If Bibi Dong did nothing wrong, then Qian Xunji's actions must have been his fault.

But Bibi Dong was going to betray the Spirit Hall and run away with her lover. The Spirit Hall had nurtured her for so many years in vain. Qian Xunji's way of dealing with such an ingrate could only be described as inappropriate, but it could not be said to be wrong.

From the moment Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang left the Spirit Hall, she felt unworthy to be Qian Xunji's disciple or a saintess. In the ancient society of her previous life, with similar development, Bibi Dong's behavior would have resulted in her being drowned in a pig cage or even humiliated to death, with her lover watching from the sidelines.

Since you've chosen to be an ingrate, there's no need to treat her like a human being.

If Qian Xunji doesn't treat her as a human being, can we say that his approach was wrong?

At most, as an angel family, he has the inherent impression that his morality is higher than that of ordinary people. Moreover, as Bibi Dong's teacher, his behavior in the secret room is extremely heinous.

But if you remove the angelic halo and compare him to other nobles in the outside world, they have already done more than enough!

In the original work, Bibi Dong, as the Pope, was equally glamorous on the surface. After Yu Xiaogang left the Spirit Hall, she drank the remaining tea in big gulps like a yandere pervert without feeling disgusted!

If we were to compare the mistakes made by the two, Qian Xunji's mistakes could be considered insignificant and negligible.

Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't quite understand your father's behavior either. Normally, he's not a womanizer, otherwise he wouldn't have no other women around him besides his disciple Bibi Dong. Others his age would already be fathers, but he doesn't even have a partner, let alone a wife!"

"Moreover, after that incident, your father released Bibi Dong, and you were born a year later. He even sent Bibi Dong to the Killing City for training. He knew that Bibi Dong must have hated him, and even though Bibi Dong tried to harm you when you were young many times, he couldn't bear to hurt her, as if he was making amends for something."

Qian Daoliu said he couldn't understand his son's behavior either.

Otherwise, his initial plan was to "remove the mother and keep the child"!

While Xiaoxue was still young and had little memory of the past, they should kill Bibi Dong directly. Later, when she grew up, they could fabricate a white lie—that she died in childbirth or was killed by a soul beast. This way, Xiaoxue would still have a loving father, instead of her current situation where her father is dead and her mother is in such a terrible state.

To be honest, he's been holding back for a long time all these years!

However, it must be said that the Spirit Hall was indeed better under Bibi Dong's control than under her son's, at least making outsiders wary and even afraid. But the disadvantages were also obvious, making outside forces more cautious about the Spirit Hall.

As for helping commoners awaken their martial souls for free and providing subsidies to soul masters, these are things that the Spirit Hall has been doing since its inception, and they were not initiated by Bibi Dong. This achievement cannot all be attributed to her.

Since she is the Pope, doing these things is simply her job.

If she can't even do these things well, and the Spirit Hall's development continues to decline, then Qian Daoliu's last shred of moral integrity will likely be breached.

Just let Bibi Dong die, and he himself will take over the Spirit Hall again!

Seeing that even her grandfather didn't know what was going on, Qian Renxue's doubts deepened.

In her memory and understanding, her father was a diligent and conscientious pope with no bad reputation. He could even maintain a friendly relationship with the three upper sects on the surface, and their symbols were on the papal decrees. The only bad thing was what he did to Bibidon.

But he should also know that Bibi Dong, a talented person, is different from those women who end up in brothels. She values ​​chastity. If he does this, Bibi Dong will hate him for life. So why does he still do it?

It couldn't have been just to get Bibi Dong pregnant. His grandfather had already said that he hadn't touched Bibi Dong since that incident.

Moreover, although Bibi Dong is talented and has twin martial souls with full innate soul power, so what?

The Qian family values ​​the inheritance of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. Bibi Dong's talent is even greater than Qian Xunji's. The probability of their offspring awakening the Death Spider Emperor and Bloodthirsty Spider Emperor will greatly increase, which is equivalent to breaking the inheritance!

According to the basic theory of martial souls, a soul master's awakened martial soul will inherit the stronger quality of their parents' martial souls.

If Qian Xunji truly wants to inherit the bloodline, it would be best to marry a woman whose talent is slightly weaker than his, or even better, a member of the Qian family branch within the Angel Legion, to ensure the purity of the bloodline.

Therefore, Qian Renxue really couldn't understand why her father would do such a thing.

She came up with several reasons in her mind, but none of them were suitable.

To be honest, when Qian Renxue learned that her father had been killed by Bibi Dong, she had the urge to ask her grandfather to kill her directly. But her grandfather was right; she wanted to have great power and take matters into her own hands.

"Grandpa, let's deal with the Crown Prince's faked death first. As for how to deal with Bibi Dong, let me think about it some more."

Jin E said calmly, "Xiao Xue, are you going to take action against Bibi Dong yourself, or do you want us to help you? If it weren't for your grandfather, Bibi Dong would have died long ago. She's quite strong now, and she has some special soul skills. She's no longer the easy-to-kill little girl she used to be."

"Yes, now that you know the truth, I think it would be a good option to remove her from her position as Pope, imprison her, or abolish her cultivation, and let the Grand Elder resume his role as Pope of the Spirit Hall. However, even if she is removed from her position as Pope, she will not surrender easily."

Qian Daoliu shook his head: "Let's wait and see. Bibi Dong won't do anything detrimental to the Spirit Hall in the short term. Moreover, I sensed divine power faintly emerging from Bibi Dong's body. Apart from me, none of you are her match."

Shushan.

Through Ning Fengzhi's teleportation, Xiao Tian and his companions were instantly transported to the Shu Mountain he had been longing for.

The moment the group appeared, the effects of the Wine God Curse on Xiao Tian's body began to dissipate, and the Asura Blood Sword struggled violently in his hand, bursting out a streak of blood-red divine power.

It's a super artifact, how could a mere mortal possibly control it!

Under the influence of this divine power, everyone except Xiao Tian was forced back several meters, which also attracted the attention of Bai He and the others.

Xiao Tian clicked his tongue and chuckled, "What, you still want to escape my control? In that case, I'll just suppress you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a small black tower emerged from Xiao Tian's body and floated above the Asura Blood Sword. A terrifying sealing power and suction force directly attached itself to the Asura Blood Sword, and in less than a moment, the Asura Blood Sword was absorbed into it.

Everything around returned to normal, and the small black tower shrank back to Xiao Tian's palm.

This scene stunned everyone; they hadn't expected that Xiao Tian would possess such a divine object.

"Brother, what is this?" Xiao Wu approached curiously, her rabbit ears curving on her head. She looked at the small tower up close with great curiosity. She never expected that this seemingly ordinary little tower would have such power.

This Asura Blood Sword is a divine artifact, yet it was suppressed so easily?

"Sect Master, you're back!" Lou Gao, Bai He, Niu Gao, and Yang Wudi came to Xiao Tian and bowed respectfully.

Xiao Tian smiled and told them to stand up. Then, looking at everyone, he replied, "This small tower is called the Suppression Tower. It's an inherited item that I obtained by chance. The tower has formidable defensive capabilities, and its interior possesses terrifying sealing power. Once someone is suppressed within it, their martial soul—whether a soul beast, soul master, divine artifact, or even a god—will lose its original cultivation and abilities."

Xiao Tian looked at Da Ming and Er Ming: "With this tower, any evil soul masters who indiscriminately kill soul beasts and extract their soul bones will be suppressed here, as will any evil soul beasts."

Upon hearing this, Da Ming and Er Ming's eyes lit up. It seemed that Xiao Tian had already thought everything through.

Whether it's obtaining a spirit ring through a spirit, or relying on the spirit master's own ability to condense a spirit ring as Xiao Tian is researching, or even the artificial spirit rings that he mentioned, all of these mean that the balance between spirit masters and spirit beasts will be broken.

Soul Masters may be wary of soul beasts that are 100,000 or even 200,000 years old or older, but soul beasts that are less than 100,000 years old, having lost the function of soul rings, will become tools for breaking soul bones, and low-age soul beasts are easily killed indiscriminately.

Xiao Tian's meaning was clear: if it was just a normal conflict or need between soul masters and soul beasts, he wouldn't interfere.

But whether it's a Soul Master or a Soul Beast, if they exceed a certain limit, then sorry, they will all be suppressed!

At this moment, Niu Gao walked over with a smile: "Sect Master, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect is almost finished. This is your first time seeing it, isn't it? See if it meets your expectations, hehe."

Xiao Tian smiled and first floated in the air on his sword, taking in the overall layout. The entire sect was perched among the misty, towering peaks and ridges. The mountain gate stood majestically, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. This ancient simplicity gave Xiao Tian a feeling of cultivating immortality, which was quite similar to the Shu Mountain in his previous life.

He could tell that the entire mountain had undergone some renovations, making it even more precipitous and steep. Apart from flying Soul Masters, it would be very difficult for other Soul Masters to attack it in large numbers.

There was only one narrow path leading up the mountain, just wide enough for two people.

With such terrain, it would be difficult for others to attack, and as long as the members of their sect learned the art of sword control, going up and down the mountain would not be a big problem.

After observing for a while, Xiao Tian nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, thank you for your hard work during this time."

When the four of them heard Xiao Tian say this, they smiled. With so much money in hand, it would be a waste not to do a good job.

Then, Xiao Tian turned his attention to Yu Feng and the others: "Yu Feng, I will have someone escort you back to Tian Dou City. Now that the Soul Master Competition is over, and I have graduated from the academy, this championship honor is my way of thanking the academy."

Xiao Tian briefly explained his plan and asked him to go back and relay it to the three education committees.

Yu Feng and the others' expressions changed, and they said with a wry smile, "Captain, was this your plan from the beginning? I won't be able to explain this when I get back, waaaaah!" Yu Feng was about to cry.

Xiao Tian smiled and said, "You should know that I was originally a commoner. I can't stand those useless and incompetent nobles in the empire. They have no ability, but just because they are nobles, they can bully talented people. The empire will not tolerate me. Alright, you can go back now."

Yu Fengshimo had no choice but to say, "You will always be our captain," before having Min Tang and several experts from the medicine hall escort him away.
