Reincarnated as the Death Spider Queen, sacrificing Bibi Dong at the start

"Om-"

A sacred, vast, and majestic golden beam of light descended from the sky without warning, instantly enveloping the entire platform.

The full-force attack of the six elders disintegrated instantly before this golden light, like ice and snow melting away, without even causing a ripple.

All the fluctuations of soul power were forcibly suppressed in that instant.

An overwhelming, terrifying pressure, as if a god had descended, made the tens of thousands of soul masters present, including the sect leaders of the seven major sects, feel breathless and their souls tremble.

Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen, Gu Rong... everyone stood up in shock, staring intently at the golden light.

Amidst the golden light, an old man dressed in a simple gray robe, carrying the shadow of a six-winged angel on his back, slowly descended.

He didn't release any spirit rings, but just by standing there, he was the sky, he was the ruler.

Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall and a level 99 Peerless Douluo.

"Have you made enough of a scene?"

An aged yet authoritative voice resounded in everyone's ears.

Jin E and the others trembled, quickly withdrew their martial spirits, bowed respectfully, and cold sweat instantly soaked their backs.

Nan Feng raised his head and looked at the slowly descending figure, his expression showing no surprise.

He smoothed his wind-blown hair and chuckled softly:

"Oh."

"Has the Grand Elder finally deigned to go out?"

Qian Daoliu stared intently at the long-haired, desolate-looking "Bibi Dong" before him.

His feelings were extremely complicated.

He had assumed that entrusting this matter to Jin E would be enough to suppress the situation, given Jin E's experience and strength. But he never expected that Bibi Dong would be both insane and incredibly clever.

They lost.

We lost completely.

Looking at the woman before him, Qian Daoliu felt a deep sense of dread.

Putting aside the fact that he wasn't absolutely certain he could kill Bibi Dong under the protection of the evil god, the scheming and methods she displayed today were enough to terrify him.

She knew very well that her martial prowess was inferior to that of the Hall of Offerings, so she simply abandoned martial arts and did not use even the slightest offensive soul skill throughout the entire process.

She used righteousness, the hearts of the people, and the truth.

She placed herself in the position of the weak, and on the high ground of justice.

At this moment, the eyes of the entire world are focused on this. The Spirit Hall is in the eye of the storm; the slightest misstep could lead to utter destruction.

If we were to actually kill her today, that would be "murder to silence her" and "covering up the truth."

At that time, no matter how the Spirit Hall explains it, it will be seen as evil and heretical by the world.

Even more frightening is...

Qian Daoliu glanced at Bibi Dong's crazed eyes.

If this woman is really pushed too far, she will publicly expose all the despicable things Qian Xunji did back then.

The glory of the angel race and the faith in the angel god will collapse in an instant, becoming a laughing stock and a disgrace to the entire continent.

And then there's Xue'er... If Xue'er knew the truth, that child would be devastated.

As the High Priest, as a servant of the angel God, he would never allow such a thing to happen!

This is an open conspiracy.

A blatant scheme to force him to submit by gambling with the very survival of the Spirit Hall.

"call……"

Qian Daoliu sighed deeply in his heart.

He didn't say anything more to Bibi Dong, but turned around to face the entire audience, his voice indifferent and authoritative, devoid of any emotion:

"Just as the Pope said."

"Second Elder Jin E, a veteran of two dynasties, is old and senile and failed to investigate the truth in time, causing the Spirit Hall to fall into injustice. This is a serious dereliction of duty."

"Effective immediately, Golden Crocodile Douluo is removed from all his positions in the Elders' Hall, and all his decision-making power is revoked!"

"From this day forward, you are to be confined to the Hall of Offerings, facing the wall in repentance. Without my written order, you are not to leave even a step!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo trembled, his aged face filled with bitterness and dejection. But he knew in his heart that this was the only way to save face for the Spirit Hall and quell the Pope's anger.

"...I accept the punishment."

The golden crocodile lowered its proud head, its voice hoarse.

Qian Daoliu's gaze then swept over Guangling, Qingluan, and the others:

"The other members of the monastic community are impulsive, disrespectful to their superiors, and even plotting against the Pope, disregarding the rules of the temple!"

"Punish them along with the Golden Crocodile! From this moment forward, all members are confined to the Hall of Offerings and are forbidden from interfering in any affairs of the Hall of Elders!"

"Yes... the High Priest."

Although Guangling and the others felt aggrieved, they knew that the situation was hopeless. Even their eldest brother had bowed his head, so what could they say? They could only lower their heads and conceal all their sharpness.

After dealing with his own people, Qian Daoliu turned around again and looked at Nan Feng.

In those golden eyes, a light flickered, carrying a profound meaning that only the two of them could understand.

"Your Holiness the Pope."

Qian Daoliu's voice was as calm as water:

"Now that the obstacle has been removed, the power of the Elders' Hall has been transferred to the Papal Palace."

"I wonder if the Pope is satisfied with this result?"

Nan Feng's lips curled up slightly, just about to speak.

Suddenly, a mental transmission filled with a warning exploded in his mind:

"Bibi Dong, that's enough."

“The matter has already escalated enough, and I have made enough concessions.”

"You should know that if it weren't for Xue'er and the reputation of the Angel God, you wouldn't be able to leave this platform today."

"Don't push me."

"Oh."

Upon hearing this threat, a hint of ferocity flashed in Nan Feng's eyes.

Originally, now that his goal had been achieved, power had been reclaimed, and the mudslinging had been completely thrown out, he did intend to stop while he was ahead.

There's no point in fighting Qian Daoliu now.

but……

What he hates most in his life is being threatened.

Especially when threatened by someone who spouts platitudes about morality but is actually extremely hypocritical.

"Forcing you?"

Nan Feng didn't speak, but instead used mental transmission to directly retort, his tone filled with undisguised sarcasm:

"Great Master, what makes you say that?"

"I was just stating the facts, how did that become forcing you?"

"Besides, speaking of the word 'force,' I'd like to ask the Grand Elder about it."

Nan Feng's gaze turned playful as he stared directly into Qian Daoliu's calm, unwavering eyes.

"Back then, when Qian Xunji coveted the soul bone and first chased after Tang Hao, why didn't you, the Grand Elder who was known as invincible in the sky and the guardian of justice, speak up?"

"Why didn't you say anything when Qian Xunji didn't repent and kept making mistakes, even going so far as to start a war?"

"Where was your justice then? Where were your principles?"

"What? You pretended to be deaf and dumb back then, but now that your precious worshippers are suffering, you want to jump out and play the good guy and uphold justice?"

Qian Daoliu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Nan Feng's telepathic message, laced with sarcasm, continued to reverberate in his mind:

"I used to think that scum like Qian Xunji was a genetic mutation of the Angel family."

"But now it seems..."

Nan Feng scoffed:

"Your family's hypocrisy is truly inherited from one generation."

"As long as your core interests are not touched, and as long as the faith of the Angel God is not affected, you can remain silent forever. Even if blood flows like a river outside, even if your son commits many evils outside, you can still play dead in the Douluo Palace with a clear conscience."

"Qian Daoliu, you disgust me even more than Qian Xunji."

The golden light on Qian Daoliu's body rippled slightly, clearly indicating that these words had struck a nerve.

"However, this is for the best."

Nan Feng withdrew his gaze, too lazy to look at him again, his voice carrying a final warning:

"I hope you will continue this 'fine tradition' and remain silent."

"Don't go out casually, and don't interfere in my affairs."

"Just stay quietly in your shrine, guard that cold, lifeless statue, and live out your remaining days there."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind going crazy again and showing you what real... a fight to the death looks like."

Chapter 90 The Hearts of All People

……

After warning Qian Daoliu, Nan Feng waved his sleeve, and a gentle surge of soul power swept over, returning the crown and scepter on the ground to his hands.
