Chapter 62 Who's in favor? Who's opposed?
Seven days later, in Wuhun City.
A month later, Bibi Dong returned to this city that symbolizes the highest power in the Douluo Continent.
However, the Pope, returning victorious, did not receive the highest level of cheers from Wuhun City. In fact, there wasn't even a proper welcoming party at the majestic city gate.
It was desolate and somber, as if an invisible gunpowder was emanating from the air.
Seeing this bizarre scene before him, Tang Xiao, who was following behind Bibi Dong, began to believe Bibi Dong's previous words even more.
The Pope, returning victorious, received no grand welcome whatsoever.
It seems that her situation within the Spirit Hall is even more difficult than she herself said; she could even be described as completely isolated.
"Oh, looks like everyone's busy."
Bibi Dong sneered, unconcerned; she had expected this cold reception.
"Let's go, Sect Leader Tang."
Bibi Dong waved her cloak and led the two elders, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, along with Tang Xiao, straight towards the Elder Hall, the core of Wuhun City.
"Don't waste your time, go meet your new colleagues."
The atmosphere inside the Elders' Hall was solemn.
The huge round table was now full of people.
Led by the Second Inheritor, Golden Crocodile Douluo, several other Inheritors including Qingwan, Xiongshi, and Guangling were present, along with Demon Bear and...
Elders such as Ghost Leopard also stood on both sides.
"Da, da, da————"
The crisp sound of high heels echoed through the hall, breaking the deathly silence.
The door opened, and Bibi Dong, accompanied by Tang Xiao, strode in with her head held high.
Upon seeing Tang Xiao behind Bibi Dong, Golden Crocodile Douluo slightly raised his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.
-
Receiving a knowing look from Jin'e, the Demon Bear Douluo, who had been unable to contain himself any longer, slammed his fist on the table, stood up abruptly, and pointed at Tang Xiao, launching into a tirade: "Tang Xiao! How dare you! You actually dare to come to the Elder Hall!"
"They're truly courting death!!"
Before he finished speaking, the Demon Bear Douluo's soul power erupted, and the huge phantom of the Blood Demon Bear instantly appeared, raising its paw to strike Tang Xiao.
"presumptuous."
Bibi Dong merely glanced at him coldly.
The Demon Bear Douluo's raised paw froze in mid-air, cold sweat instantly soaking his back.
He recalled the scene of Bibi Dong instantly killing two peak Soul Douluos that day, and the terrifying figure that could even shatter the Haotian Battle Formation with a single blow.
"Step back!"
Bibi Dong gave a cold shout, and Demon Bear Douluo hurriedly withdrew his martial soul and slunk back to his seat.
"snort."
Bibi Dong snorted coldly, led Tang Xiao to the head seat of the round table, but did not sit down. Instead, she looked around the room and said, "Let me introduce you."
"The Clear Sky Sect has officially submitted to the Spirit Hall."
"From this day forward, Sect Master Tang Xiao will be the new elder of the Spirit Hall!"
"What?!"
These words caused an uproar in the room.
Not to mention elders like Demon Bear and Ghost Leopard, even those usually reclusive and arrogant retainers were wide-eyed and somewhat bewildered.
Has the Haotian Sect submitted? Has Tang Xiao become an elder?
Are you kidding me?!
Snapped!
Bibi Dong threw the surrender document that Tang Xiao had prepared earlier directly onto the center of the table. The document was unfolded, and the black and white characters were clearly written on the white paper. Below it was the official seal of the Haotian Sect.
See for yourself.
Everyone craned their necks to look, and the more they looked, the stranger their expressions became.
Expelling Tang Hao, listing his crimes, and handing over his elite disciples—this is hardly submission; it's practically tearing out the backbone of the Clear Sky Sect and offering it to the Spirit Hall!
After a moment of silence, Golden Crocodile Douluo finally spoke.
"Your Holiness the Pope."
"The submission of the Clear Sky Sect is indeed a joyous occasion and a great achievement for the Spirit Hall."
"but----"
Jin E abruptly changed the subject, "The matter of the elders is of great importance. The Elder Hall is the core of the Spirit Hall, and only those with great merit and virtue can enter."
"Tang Xiao was once our enemy. Although he has surrendered, he has not made any contributions. If we give him the position of elder now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win over the people."
"In my opinion, it would be better to wait a few years, until he has made some achievements in the Spirit Hall, and after he has been assessed, before discussing this further."
"In a few years?"
Bibi Dong sneered, "Elder Golden Crocodile, have you forgotten who I am?"
"I am the Pope! I have the authority to directly appoint elders!"
"Moreover—"
Bibi Dong pointed at the document, "To bring the former number one sect in the world under heaven to submit to the Spirit Hall, and to make the Clear Sky Hammer a weapon of the Spirit Hall—isn't that an immense achievement?!"
"Which elder among you has achieved this level of merit?"
"Is it you, Demon Bear? Or Ghost Leopard?"
Or perhaps—
Bibi Dong's gaze swept over the several worshippers: "Is it you?"
'
No one answered.
The political significance and strategic value of the Clear Sky Sect's surrender are immeasurable. It wasn't just about eliminating a powerful enemy; it also greatly enhanced the prestige and dominance of the Spirit Hall. This achievement is truly immense.
But Golden Crocodile Douluo clearly had no interest in arguing with Bibi Dong about this.
"The Pope does indeed have the power to appoint elders."
Golden Crocodile Douluo said calmly, "But the Elders' Hall also has the right to object."
"According to the rules of the Elders' Hall, any personnel appointments that involve significant controversy must be voted on by the Elders' Hall meeting."
"Each elder has one vote, while His Holiness the Pope has the privilege of three votes."
"If more than half of the votes are against it, even if you are the Pope, this appointment cannot be approved."
Golden Crocodile Douluo raised his head: "Your Holiness, are you sure you want to use your privileges here for the sake of an outsider?"
"If the Elders' Hall unanimously opposes it, they can even use this as grounds to question your decision-making ability."
The air froze again.
Golden Crocodile Douluo knew very well that he could not dismiss Bibi Dong.
Since Bibi Dong had just performed a great service and had not made any mistakes, the High Priest would not allow him to do so.
However, he could use the rules to veto Tang Xiao's position as elder, rendering Bibi Dong's promise worthless and causing her to lose all prestige in front of Tang Xiao!
As long as Tang Xiao doesn't become an elder, the Clear Sky Sect will never be able to truly integrate into the Spirit Hall, and Bibi Dong's plan to win over the Clear Sky Sect to fight against the Hall of Worship will fall through.
Faced with Jin E's seemingly lawful but actually deadly "open scheme," Bibi Dong tapped her fingers lightly a few times on her knees.
Indeed, in her original plan, she tended to be patient and reserved.
During those nights in Heaven Dou City, she tried to persuade Nan Feng: "Let Tang Xiao see the infighting within the Spirit Hall, so he understands that he can only survive by relying on me. This will make it easier for him to wield this sword. Moreover, taking a step back for now and giving Jin E some face can also prevent a complete breakdown in relations."
But Nanfeng's immediate reaction was to smash it in one bite.
"Retreat? We just won a great victory, trampled the Haotian Sect underfoot, and you expect me to come back to make way for these old coffin coffins?"
"Bibi Dong, remember this: power isn't given away; it's seized! It's earned through bloodshed!"
"Jin E is a typical bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong. The more you follow the rules, the more he'll act like a thug."
The more you back down, the more arrogant he becomes.
"He'll only reason with you when you put a knife to his throat."
"If you win the argument, it's yours; if you lose, it's mine."
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong sighed helplessly in her spiritual sea.
"Alright, you win."
"Since you don't want to follow the rules, then — go ahead and use your unreasonable methods."
"Nanfeng".
With a soft call from the bottom of Bibi Dong's heart.
"Here I am!!"
Within the sea of his spirit, Nan Feng, who had been itching for a fight, let out a strange cry, and his long-suppressed tyranny and arrogance erupted instantly!
boom-!!!
in reality.
An extremely terrifying surge of soul power suddenly exploded from Bibi Dong's body!
On the left, the purplish-black Death Spider King roared forth; on the right, the dark green Soul-Devouring Spider King appeared menacingly.
Without any warning, the two top-tier martial souls once again staged that terrifying scene of "devouring each other" in the Elder Hall!
"What...what is this?!"
The elders and worshippers present instantly changed color, especially those demon bears and others who had witnessed the power of the "Netherworld of Death" firsthand. They were so frightened that they almost fell off their chairs.
"Quick! Retreat!!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo roared, and nine spirit rings instantly lit up on his body as he attempted to set up a defense.
But it was too late.
*Snap!*
With a teeth-grinding cracking sound, the two spider kings rapidly collapsed as they tore at each other, eventually turning into a gray singularity at Bibi Dong's chest.
Buzz—! ! !
The singularity exploded!
A deathly gray mist instantly swept across the entire area, turning the magnificent Elder Hall into a desolate gray-white wasteland.
In this realm, all soul power is suppressed, all senses are blocked, and even breathing becomes difficult.
The fog dissipated.
The original Bibi Dong has disappeared.
Instead, there was a gray-white demon god that floated in mid-air, with an illusory figure and an aura of destruction emanating from its body!
Nanfeng is online.
Golden Crocodile Douluo tensed up, the phantom of the Golden Crocodile King behind him appearing and disappearing, trying to resist the all-pervasive gray mist.
But to his horror, he discovered that his protective soul power was melting away as quickly as ice and snow encountering a hot iron in the face of this gray mist!
What kind of monster is this?! This is definitely not the power of a Soul Master!
An evil god! This is the power of an evil god!
"What—what do you want to do?!"
The Demon Bear Douluo stood up tremblingly. "This is the Elder Hall! Your Holiness the Pope, do you intend to resort to violence in the Elder Hall?!"
"use force?"
Nan Feng tilted his head. "No, no, no, I'm a reasonable person and a person who follows the rules."
"9
"Since the Second Elder said that the rule of the Elder Hall is to vote, then let's vote."
Nan Feng extended his fingers, which were covered in bone armor, and gently tapped the table.
Da, da, da.
Each strike felt like a blow to everyone's heart.
"The Pope has three votes, right?"
Nan Feng's lips curled into a sinister smile: "Then now, three votes in favor."
"Next, it's your turn."
Nan Feng pointed to the surrender document on the table, his tone turning icy cold: "I have finished speaking."
"Who's in favor? Who's opposed?"
