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

Page 64

Suddenly, a furious shout filled with resentment interrupted the Second Elder.

Nan Feng suddenly sat up straight, his previously lazy expression instantly turning into a ferocious one. A tangible killing intent swept across the entire area like a storm, making everyone hold their breath.

"Don't mention that beast to me!!"

"Teacher? He doesn't deserve the title!"

Nan Feng stared intently at the Second Elder, the hatred in his eyes sending a chill down the spine of this seasoned elder.

"That beast Qian Xunji deserved to die!!"

"To be killed by Tang Hao with a single hammer blow would be too good for him!!"

"If it falls into my hands..."

"I'll make him wish he were dead!!"

"hiss--"

The entire venue fell silent once again.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden outburst.

"call……"

Nan Feng took a deep breath, seemingly realizing his loss of composure. He quickly suppressed his violent aura and regained his calm, though his expression remained somewhat gloomy.

"Sorry, I lost my composure."

Nan Feng leaned back in his chair, looked at the bewildered Tang Xiao, and said calmly:

"Faced with the army of the Spirit Hall, I naturally have to say what the Pope should say and uphold that hypocritical righteousness."

"But now, this is the Haotian Sect, your territory."

"I can... say what I want to say now."

"Sect Leader Tang Xiao, let's speak frankly."

"You should be able to see my current situation. I am the Pope in name only, but in reality, I am controlled at every turn."

"I've done my best to control casualties in this battle so far. Otherwise, do you think that piece of trash Demon Bear could have survived this long? Do you think any of you could have escaped?"

“However, once I return, the Hall of Worship will definitely seize the opportunity to make trouble for me, and may even dismiss me.”

"I need strength."

“I need… allies.”

Nan Feng leaned forward slightly, his gaze fixed intently on Tang Xiao:

"Let's bring the Clear Sky Sect and submit to the Spirit Hall."

"As Pope, I will give you ample support, and even reserve a place for you in the Elders' Hall to help you rebuild your sect and preserve your heritage."

"And in return..."

"You have to support me."

"Help me fight against the Golden Crocodile, and against the Hall of Offerings."

"Help me... to truly secure my position as Pope!"

"how?"

Chapter 59 We Are All Victims

……

Tang Xiao didn't believe Nan Feng's threats and inducements at all. He was only thinking about how to break through and how to pass the message to the other Haotian Sect members so that they could escape.

"Break through?"

Nan Feng seemed to see through Tang Xiao's thoughts, and the smile on his lips vanished instantly.

"Tang Xiao, I advise you to put away those unrealistic fantasies."

"Don't take chances."

"The reason you were able to escape from the Power Clan last time was not because you were truly capable, nor because I was careless."

"It's entirely because from the very beginning, I never intended to kill anyone, nor did I want to get hurt."

"Otherwise, if I were to risk my life by injuring myself, I could have forcibly killed both of you elders even without using the Netherworld of Death."

“Killing you would only help Qian Daoliu and the others vent their anger, and it would do me no good. Dead people can't help me fight against the Hall of Worship.”

Tang Xiao frowned. "Then how do you explain killing the Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder later?"

Back when he was with the Power Clan, he did feel that Bibi Dong was holding back in everything she did, and didn't seem to have much killing intent. She even used her second martial soul's soul skills a few times.

But later, that strange gray demon god killed both of their elders with a single blow!

"An explanation? You still have the nerve to ask me to explain?" Nan Feng raised an eyebrow.

"I did not kill you, but you relentlessly pursued me, thinking you could wear me down with your numbers."

"I told you, I don't want to get hurt, and I can't play any game of trading injuries with you. In that situation, the only way I could break the deadlock was with that move."

"But how was I supposed to know you were so fragile? I originally only intended to break the Haotian Battle Formation, at most severely injure you, and then we could all sit down and have a peaceful chat. Who knew you were so fragile? You couldn't even withstand a single blow?"

Tang Xiao's face darkened.

"Don't push me."

Nan Feng looked at Tang Xiao, a dangerous glint in his eyes:

"Tang Xiao, you've experienced my Netherworld Death Realm. You should know very well that once that man-eating gray mist dissipates here, everyone here, except you and this old man, including those women and children..."

“They will all be eaten clean, and not one will escape.”

Would you like to give it a try?

"..."

Tang Xiao's hand, gripping the Clear Sky Hammer, trembled violently before he helplessly released it. The massive Clear Sky Hammer transformed into a streak of light and returned to his body.

He lost.

It was not only a loss in terms of strength, but also a loss in terms of mentality.

Faced with that terrifying domain that could silently devour everything, and with more than five hundred vibrant lives behind him, he dared not gamble.

"call……"

Tang Xiao sighed, "Bibi Dong, you've won."

"Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

"I've already said what I want," Nan Feng said calmly.

"Whether you believe it or not, that's for you to decide. I don't want to waste any more words."

Tang Xiao fell silent and turned to look at the Second Elder beside him.

The Second Elder stared intently at the aloof woman, his voice hoarse as he asked:

"How...how can we trust you?"

"You are Qian Xunji's disciple and the Pope of the Spirit Hall. Now you say you were forced into this situation and that you want to fight against the Hall of Worship, but are you just spouting empty words? Who knows if this is just a trick to deceive us into laying down our weapons?"

"If we surrender, you'll turn around and betray us..."

"There's no need to believe it."

Nan Feng interrupted him, "I didn't expect you bunch of old fogies to actually believe me."

"Belief in such things is too abstract; only reality and self-interest are real."

"With this battle reaching this point, the Spirit Hall has already achieved a great victory. The Clear Sky Sect has closed its mountain, and Tang Hao has been expelled. For the Spirit Hall, the strategic value is already sufficient."

"Continuing the war and launching a direct assault on this easily defensible fortress will only increase casualties and be utterly pointless."

"But... if I can get the Clear Sky Sect to submit to the Spirit Hall, that's a different story."

"Destroying the Clear Sky Sect would be a self-destructive act that would bring no benefit and would even incur the resentment of all Soul Masters in the world."

"Subduing the Clear Sky Sect not only made up for the loss of Soul Masters in this battle, but also greatly enhanced the power and prestige of the Spirit Hall, and could also help me deal with those disobedient old guys."

"Which one is better is self-evident."

“You are all intelligent people, you should understand that only the living have value. Only a knife that can be used by me is worth my effort to maintain.”

The Second Elder remained silent for a long time.

He didn't mention the pride of the Haotian Sect again, nor did he speak of never surrendering. Because now the enemy was strong and we were weak, at their mercy, there was no point in spouting such nonsense.

All we can do now is try our best to secure more benefits for the Clear Sky Sect and preserve enough resistance forces, even if it means they have to submit to the Spirit Hall.

"So……"

The Second Elder raised his head. "What benefits would it bring to the Clear Sky Sect to submit to the Spirit Hall?"

What can we gain? And what can we retain?

"benefit?"

Nan Feng glanced at him indifferently:

"Alive".

"..."

The entire room fell silent.

"This is the greatest benefit, and the only foundation."

Nan Feng looked at the Second Elder and said, "If the Haotian Sect does not submit, do not doubt my methods or my determination."

"I will absolutely wipe out the Haotian Sect!"

"Whether it's the five hundred people here, the groups that are on their way, or the small businesses hiding in the properties outside..."
