"Depend on……"

The Sea Maiden Douluo couldn't help but curse inwardly, feeling that her worldview had been violently shaken.

What kind of twisted and morbid emotion is this?!

……

Time passed slowly in the quiet courtyard.

As the sun rose higher, the silence in the courtyard was broken by the clear calls of a few seabirds.

Nan Feng, lying on the rocking chair, let out a long breath, and the oppressive atmosphere around him finally dissipated.

He opened his eyes, and his gaze regained its usual depth and tranquility.

He looked at Purple Pearl, who was clinging to him like an octopus, fast asleep on his chest, and helplessly raised his hand, curled his fingers, and gently tapped her fluffy head twice on the forehead.

"Alright, wake up. Get up."

Although Nan Feng's voice still carried a hint of disdain, it no longer sounded as irritable as before.

Purple Pearl rubbed her eyes groggily, said "Oh," and obediently let go of her hand and stood up.

She glanced at the cup of tea that had gone cold beside Nan Feng, then immediately picked up the teapot and replaced it with a steaming cup of hot tea.

Nan Feng picked up his teacup and took a sip before turning his gaze to Bibi Dong and the other two, who were huddled against the wall as if being punished.

What do you mean by this?

Bibi Dong, with her little girl face, crossed her hands in front of her.

She looked at Nan Feng, took a deep breath, and said in a firm tone, "Just now on the beach... I was indeed too impulsive, it was my fault. But!"

"That's because you're always causing trouble outside, which is why I got caught up in it and lost my composure! So, I can admit my mistake, but don't expect me to take all the blame!"

Nan Feng glanced at her as if she were an idiot, completely ignoring her stubborn argument.

He turned his head and looked directly at the Sea Maiden Douluo beside him, whose face was full of gossip and whose eyes were darting around.

"You'd better watch your mouth from now on, and stop stirring up trouble. If anything gets out of control again, you'll be responsible for the consequences."

"Don't think that just because this woman seems to listen to you sometimes, you can mess with her. Right now, she's definitely not a good-tempered person."

"In the past, she might have considered the overall interests of the Spirit Hall, and when faced with provocation, she would weigh the pros and cons and choose to endure. But..."

Over the years, Bibi Dong has been led astray by him.

If you really anger her, no matter who you are or what kind of high priestess of the sea god is behind you, she will definitely kill you without considering the consequences!

In his logic, nothing in this world is irreparable.

Similarly, no one is irreplaceable!

Nothing is so simple that doing something will cause the sky to fall or the situation to completely collapse.

At worst, we'll just take it one step at a time.

If the road is truly impassable and you can't move forward, then simply sit down and rest for a while, blow up the entire road ahead, and build a new one.

Even if the sky falls, it's just a blanket to cover you up.

no big deal.

It is also because of this kind of thinking that Bibi Dong's behavior has become more and more like his in recent years, becoming more and more unscrupulous and capricious.

Even today, whether it's the Papal Palace, the powerful Platinum Bishops below them, or even the Presbyterian priests who consider themselves the foundation of the Papal Palace...

No one dares to defy her anymore, as they used to.

Because those old guys all know very well that they only have one life.

They simply dared not gamble their precious lives on the Pope's occasional whim and his utterly reckless madness.

Ultimately, a person who possesses absolute military power, once she loses all worries, will become the most terrifying and unsolvable monster in the world.

Looking across this continent today, the only ones who can truly surpass Bibi Dong in terms of raw power are Qian Daoliu and Poseidon.

But so what?

Qian Daoliu, that old codger, is always concerned about the millennia-old heritage of his Angel family. Would he dare to gamble the survival of his entire family with a crazy woman who is ready to perish at any moment?

He simply didn't dare.

Poseidon was the same; she carried the glory of the sea god in her heart, and the life and death of tens of thousands of people on the island of the sea god. This was her weakness.

As for those high-ranking elders and deities in the Spirit Hall's Hall of Worship...

Which of them doesn't have a powerful family and deeply entrenched interests behind them?

Which one of them doesn't have disciples, followers, and descendants? These worries are all like dog leashes around their necks!

Nan Feng glanced coldly at the little girl standing in the corner with her eyes lowered.

What does Kobi Dong have?

She had nothing.

She was all alone, so she could be uninhibited and carefree!

If you push her too far, she might as well flip the table, smash the whole world to pieces, and drag everyone down with her, hand in hand, to hell!

Under normal circumstances, once such an extremely dangerous and uncontrollable madman appears, he will become a thorn in the side of all forces and will be united to attack him.

However, Bibi Dong has always been an enigma.

She has never revealed her true trump card, and no one is absolutely certain that they can kill her. Even Qian Daoliu, who is known as the invincible one in the sky, does not dare to make a move.

They lack a leader who can win people's hearts, and they lack an unbreakable and stable alliance of interests. They can't even come up with a decent slogan!

Everyone has their own agenda, how can they unite?

Moreover, Qian Daoliu's retreat in dealing with Qian Xunji back then had already completely broken the backbone of the entire Spirit Hall's upper echelons, making them utterly cowardly from the bottom of their hearts.

Whatever the hidden concerns that led Qian Daoliu to compromise and back down back then...

In the eyes of the world, there is only one truth.

Qian Daoliu watched helplessly as Bibi Dong trampled Qian Xunji into the mud in front of the whole world!

But that old man didn't dare utter a single word!

Building prestige is a long process, but its collapse can happen in an instant.

Qian Daoliu's prestige had already completely collapsed back then at the Wuhun City conference.

If a father can't even protect his own son, what else can he protect?

You still dare to rely on him?

Chapter 247 Disobedient employees are sent directly to Seagod Island to feed the fish.

……

After hearing Nan Feng's stern warning, which reeked of blood, the Sea Maiden Douluo shrank back and became completely obedient.

She wasn't just arguing with this crazy woman out of boredom; it was because Bibi Dong had spoken rudely first, calling the High Priest an "old woman" repeatedly. As the Holy Pillar of Seagod Island, she couldn't just pretend to be deaf and dumb.

However, since Nan Feng had already said all that, she naturally knew when to stop.

Bibi Dong, standing in the corner, was unusually quiet at this moment.

She knew Nanfeng's temper well; she had already exhausted his patience on the beach, and if she continued to cause trouble now, it would be really hard to control the situation.

So she simply turned her head away to avoid seeing them, completely ignoring the Sea Maiden Douluo and Xiao Bai.

For a moment, the quiet courtyard fell into an eerie silence.

Nan Feng slowly finished the tea in his cup and put the cup back on the table, thus breaking the silence.

"Alright, we've finished catching up and arguing." Nan Feng looked at Bibi Dong. "Do you have anything else important to do? If not, you can go back to Wuhun City now."

"Are you trying to get rid of me?" A dangerous glint appeared in Bibi Dong's purple eyes as she said sarcastically, "What? Are you in such a hurry to get rid of me so you can have some free time to go to Seagod Island for a secret rendezvous with your High Priest Poseidon?"

"..."

Nan Feng looked at her, feeling utterly speechless.

"Your Holiness, did you forget your brain at the Papal Palace when you left?" Nan Feng sighed. "Have you forgotten what I told you before?"

Bibi Dong was slightly taken aback: "What?"

"Use your brain and think it over!" Nan Feng pointed in the direction down the mountain. "Right now, the two princes of the Heaven Dou Empire, as well as Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Bone Douluo, are all on Purple Pearl Island! If the Spirit Hall's intelligence network gets information that the Heaven Dou Empire's high-ranking officials have secretly gone to sea and established an important alliance base here, what will you do next, given the Spirit Hall's past practices?"

"Intercept and kill?" Bibi Dong blurted out.

“That’s more like it.” Nan Feng leaned back in his chair. “Didn’t I tell you about these plans when we first came to Purple Pearl Island? How come you’ve forgotten all about important matters just because you’re jealous?”

Bibi Dong pondered for a moment, her brows furrowing slightly: "Intercepting the Heaven Dou delegation is indeed a reasonable reaction. But the current situation is that only the Heaven Dou Empire has entered the fray, while the Star Luo Empire has remained inactive, showing no reaction whatsoever to what is happening here. Is it too early for us to act now?"

"It's not too early at all; now is the best time."

Nan Feng said calmly.

"Why hasn't the Star Luo Empire made a move? Because they are too far from this sea area and know nothing about the secrets of Seagod Island."

"If we don't take this opportunity to fully demonstrate the overwhelming power of Seagod Island to the entire continent, the arrogant royal family of the Star Luo Empire will only think that Purple Pearl Island is just a maritime trading center for making gold coins, and will never regard it as a top-level external aid that can fight against the Spirit Hall."

"If we want the Star Luo Empire to be envious and eager to get in and get a share of the pie, or even actively seek the protection of Seagod Island, we must let them see with their own eyes just how powerful Seagod Island is."

"The simplest and most direct way to shock people is, of course, to kill the two Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall in front of the whole world."

Nan Feng raised his head and looked at Bibi Dong: "When you go back this time, don't be shy. Take this opportunity to send all these restless time bombs over at once."

"If they dare to set foot in this sea, I will wipe them all out for you!"

Upon hearing Nan Feng's purge plan, Bibi Dong's brows furrowed deeply.

"It's not that easy. Ever since the Spirit Hall's elite forces suffered a crushing defeat at sea, and Qian Daoliu personally went to Seagod Island to test the waters, he issued a strict order: Spirit Hall members are absolutely forbidden from stepping into the sea."

“Those old guys who are loyal to the Elders’ Hall have always been outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant towards me. Even if I forcibly order them to go out to sea to intercept and kill me in the name of the Pope, those people will definitely use Qian Daoliu’s ban from back then as a shield and will not be able to move easily.”

"Not to be deployed lightly?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Feng's sneer widened dramatically: "Who is the Pope in Spirit City now?! Who truly calls the shots in the entire Spirit Hall?!"

"Since they like to use Qian Daoliu as a shield, then give them two choices!"
