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

Chapter 103 No Way Out

……

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, Nan Feng looked at Bibi Dong outside, who was sharp-tongued and exuded a powerful aura, and was somewhat surprised.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

"Dong'er, your tongue is getting better and better."

"Back then, you were such a reserved female pope, you had to beat around the bush when you spoke. Now look at you, you're always calling people 'high-class servants' and 'watchdogs,' you have such a knack for stabbing people in the heart..."

"They're almost as good as me now."

"..."

Bibi Dong replied coldly:

"Having seen you causing trouble for so long, I've been influenced by you so much that I have no choice but to learn it even if I don't want to."

"There's no way around it, you learn from the same people. If I didn't improve myself by dealing with a scoundrel like you who talks nonsense all the time, I would have been driven crazy by you long ago."

"what!"

Nan Feng laughed:

"What's this? Is it just the husband and wife following each other's lead?"

Bibi Dong ignored him, directly blocking the mental link and focusing on the current situation.

A deathly silence lingered in the Elders' Hall for a long time.

Everyone looked grim; the feeling of having one's dignity stripped bare in public was incredibly humiliating. But what Bibi Dong said was true, leaving them with no grounds for rebuttal.

Finally, Tang Xiao broke the silence.

Although Bibi Dong's words stung this former leader of the number one sect in the world, he was still a sect leader and had a broad perspective.

"Your Holiness the Pope."

Tang Xiao took a deep breath, looked directly at Bibi Dong, and said in a low voice:

"If you're saying all this just to mock us all, or just to vent your emotions, then that's rather pointless."

"The disparity in military strength is a real issue, and it cannot be bridged by a few harsh words."

"Just as I had no choice but to agree to your conditions and join the Spirit Hall in order to protect the Clear Sky Sect."

Tang Xiao pointed at Demon Bear and the others:

"The same goes for these elders. There's nothing shameful about bowing down to absolute power and choosing to preserve the family."

"The key is how to solve the problem."

"When there is a way out and room for maneuver, few people are willing to risk their lives. That's human nature."

Tang Xiao's words gave the elders a way out, and they all looked at him with gratitude.

"The Tang Emperor is right."

Bibi Dong nodded, not denying it:

"I don't have the time to mock everyone."

"The reason I'm speaking so frankly and in such a harsh way is simply to make everyone face reality and to make things go more smoothly from here on out."

Bibi Dong stood up, placing her hands on the table.

As the saying goes: the soft fear the hard, the hard fear the ruthless, and the ruthless... fear the reckless.

"Qian Daoliu is strong, but he is not a god. He is also afraid of trouble, and even more afraid that the Spirit Hall will completely fall apart."

Ultimately.

Bibi Dong looked around at everyone and said, slowly and deliberately:

"If everyone in the Elders' Hall can truly unite, if everyone dares to fight that old man to the death, and dares to make things bigger."

"Do you really think Qian Daoliu would dare to go on a killing spree?"

"Does he dare to kill us all?"

Demon Bear Douluo paused for a moment, then subconsciously shook his head.

Kill them all? Wouldn't that leave the Spirit Hall as an empty shell?

"He wouldn't dare."

Bibi Dong sneered:

"When the emperors of the two great empires want to kill someone, even a minister, they still have to find a respectable reason and consider the consequences."

"If Qian Daoliu dares to slaughter the Elders Hall over this trivial matter, he'll kill all of us Title Douluos."

"Then the Spirit Hall will have to disband tomorrow!"

"The two great empires don't even need to offer high terms to poach them. Even if it's just to save their own lives, the tens of thousands of Soul Masters of the Spirit Hall will all run away overnight!"

"Everyone joins the Spirit Hall for profit, for wealth and glory. But no matter how great the profit, you have to be alive to claim it!"

"Once the Spirit Hall becomes a slaughterhouse where anyone can be killed at will, who would dare to stay?"

Upon hearing this, the elders nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, Qian Daoliu is strong, but he is not a madman.

Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. The Spirit Hall is not a bandit's den. Even if it were, there would still be reason to follow.

The prerequisite for having money is having the life to spend it. If you don't live, what's the use of money?

"so."

Bibi Dong continued, "The reason why Qian Daoliu was able to threaten everyone with force and have everyone completely under his control is because..."

"It's simply because it can serve as a warning to others."

"Because everyone's thinking is 'better to die than let me die!'"

Bibi Dong pointed at Tang Xiao:

"Just like when the Spirit Hall launched a war against the Clear Sky Sect."

"If the three upper sects are truly united and share the same hatred as they claim, if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did not stand idly by and watch the Haotian Sect suffer."

"Could the Spirit Hall really be going to war with the entire Upper Three Sects? How many people would die? Would Qian Daoliu dare to give such an order?"

"He wouldn't dare!"

"But the problem is..."

Bibi Dong sighed, her gaze sweeping across everyone's faces:

"Everyone just stands by and watches, only thinking that as long as the fire doesn't burn me, it's fine."

"This habit... is very bad."

"Because when the fire actually burns you, all you can do is... wait to die."

The atmosphere inside the hall fell into a deathly silence once again, even more oppressive than before.

The elders lowered their eyes, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

Unity?

These two words are easy to say; they just come out of your mouth.

But when it really comes down to life and death, who would dare to entrust their back to these old foxes next to them?

Who can guarantee that when they confront Qian Daoliu for the sake of "collective interests," the people around them won't betray them to save their own lives?

Killing the chicken to scare the monkey... What if you become the "chicken" that gets killed to warn the monkey?

Nobody's stupid, and nobody wants to be taken advantage of.

"It seems that people still have doubts."

Seeing the wavering looks in everyone's eyes, Bibi Dong showed no disappointment. On the contrary, as if she had expected it, she calmly said:

"I know what you're thinking."

"Are you thinking, what if someone betrays us? What if someone tries to prove their loyalty to Qian Daoliu by offering another's head as a pledge of allegiance?"

"That's normal."

Bibi Dong slowly walked down the steps. "The foundation of unity has never been some vague trust, but rather the absolute consistency of interests and positions."

"So-called betrayal is nothing more than the price of betrayal being high enough, or the space and room to change sides."

"I don't like to say nonsense like 'Please trust each other,' that's just for children and it's meaningless."

Bibi Dong stopped in front of the long table, placed her hands on the surface, and stared intently at it:

"The most direct and objective way to solve this problem is to completely lock down everyone's interests! Leave you... with nowhere to retreat!"

Upon hearing this, Demon Bear and the others felt a sudden jolt of fear, and an extremely ominous premonition surged into their hearts.

"Gentlemen."

Bibi Dong pointed to everyone present:

"Even Elder Tang Xiao, who just joined, might turn to Qian Daoliu for the sake of the sect if Qian Daoliu offers a high enough price and if the Haotian Sect is facing a life-or-death crisis."

Tang Xiao frowned slightly, but did not refute. As the sect leader, the survival of the sect was indeed above all else.

"Not to mention the others."

Bibi Dong's gaze swept over the demonic bear and ghost leopard, a hint of mockery in her eyes:

“You were all promoted by the Qian family. If Qian Daoliu just beckons you with a finger and gives you a way out, you’ll be back on your knees faster than anyone else.”

"so……"

Bibi Dong suddenly pointed at herself:

"Here, the only person who cannot surrender to Qian Daoliu and has no way out is me!"

"Only I am the one who, in front of the whole world, forced Qian Daoliu to kick his own son out of the family tree and trampled the face of the Angel Family on the ground!"
