Chapter 26 Standoff



Generally speaking, the faith points extracted from the same person will follow the user's thoughts in real time, and there will be pauses in the system notification sound.

Unless Bibi Dong was not the only one among the leeks present, and another person witnessed her "miracle" and was also shocked by it.

so...

Pale golden specks of light began to fly toward the skeleton stained black by spider venom. Pure spiritual energy, like fresh snow falling on the earth, gradually covered Qian Xunji's bones, seeping into the skeleton like melting snow water, expelling the unclean spider venom.

The blackened skeleton returned to its original deathly white at a visible speed, and Qian Yuelong, whose spiritual energy reserves were not much to begin with, gradually turned pale, and even the golden light between her brows dimmed a lot.

Silently sensing the golden energy dissipating in the air, Bibi Dong looked at Qian Yuelong, whose face was pale, and felt a complex mix of emotions swirling within her.

The Purple Winged Spider King's venom is being purified...

It wasn't soul power... nor mental power... but it seemed to be closely related to her own being, and her aura would become weak, just like when her soul power was consumed too much.

extraordinary natural phenomena...

...A "divine child" born with innate knowledge?

Bibi Dong's gaze darkened, filled with turbulent emotions.

The spiritual power that Qian Yuelong had accumulated through diligent cultivation during this period was completely exhausted as the last piece of bone turned white again.

She opened her eyes, swayed unsteadily, and broke out in a cold sweat. Turning around, she gave Bibi Dong a weak smile and said with some joy, "I did it!"

That innocent smile made Bibi Dong's gaze waver for a moment, and her face twitched slightly.

As she parted her lips slightly, about to speak softly, her spiritual power, which covered a hundred meters around the side hall, suddenly detected several other powerful auras rapidly approaching.

An aura even stronger than hers, a Soul Douluo!

That can only be a Title Douluo!

The elders of the Elder Hall have been mobilized!

Seeing her adoptive mother's expression change again, Qian Yuelong, who was turning her head to look at the entrance behind her, realized something. She instantly suppressed her smile, and with the speed of someone who had been single for many years, she opened her personal outfit page, quickly changed out of the Moon Concealing Veil and put it back on, re-activating the concealment effect of the Moon Concealing Veil. Adjusting her breathing rhythm, amidst several increasingly clear footsteps, she slipped behind a stone pillar in the room and disappeared from Bibi Dong's mental perception.

"Buzz—!"

An even stronger mental force emanated from the entrance of the secret room, filled with aggression, forcefully pushing back her mental force.

Bibi Dong groaned as she was instantly backfired by her own mental energy, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of her lips, and she took two steps back, her face slightly pale.

But she couldn't bother wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth at this moment. Despite the approaching powerful pressure, she held her breath and turned her head to look at where Qian Yuelong was.

There was no one there, not even a single hair could be found.

Bibi Dong: "..." This little girl actually managed to escape even faster than a Title Douluo?

There was no time to investigate whether Qian Yuelong was hiding in the secret room or had actually left using a method unknown to her. Another questioning voice drifted into her ears from afar:

"Bibi Dong, what are you doing here?"

Several figures, clad in golden robes and mithril armor, stood upright at the entrance of the secret chamber. Their wary and imposing gazes fell upon Bibi Dong, who should not have been there. When they caught a glimpse of her scattered around the black throne, their expressions changed drastically, and their breath caught in their throats.

"That's right!"

Beside the dark throne, pale human bones lay scattered on the ground.

Besides the first thing, there was also the source of the unusual power that attracted them to come and investigate – the radiant soul bone.

Anger and shock appeared on the faces of the titled Douluo elders present. A terrifying pressure exploded instantly, filling the entire secret chamber. Two elders, who were actually loyal to Qian Xunji but disagreed with some of the elders who wanted to change masters, suddenly changed their expressions. Their scrutinizing and questioning gazes, accompanied by a mountain of pressure, pressed down on Bibi Dong, and they angrily questioned her:

"What happened?! How could His Holiness the Pope have fallen?!"

The way he said it was practically pointing at Bibi Dong and asking if she was the one who did it.

Several other titled Douluo with sharp intellects had already stepped forward and gathered around Qian Xunji's corpse, examining the extent of bone damage and analyzing the cause of death.

Bibi Dong's eyes flickered upon seeing this, a complex emotion flickering within them. Unlike most people who would be filled with grief at their teacher's passing, she maintained her cold expression and pursed her lips, saying, "I don't know either. When I arrived, Teacher had already..."

Almost everyone in the Elder Hall knew about her affair with Qian Xunji, so it would be truly problematic if she were to genuinely show grief at this moment.

Although this was just a facade, everyone present knew each other's true colors.

Two of the elders glared at Bibi Dong, then stepped forward to examine Qian Xunji's cause of death.

In the battle with Tang Hao, the bones that were deformed and cracked due to the powerful blows of the Clear Sky Hammer were clearly visible. In addition, they also found that Qian Xunji's shoulder and thigh bones had cracks, as if they had been pierced by some sharp weapon.

The two elders, who knew that Bibi Dong was definitely involved, looked up and stared at Bibi Dong, who stood there indifferently, with unpleasant expressions.

Bibi Dong lowered her eyes, avoiding the probing gazes of the other elders.

Finally, one of the more prestigious elders spoke in a deep voice: "Ghost Leopard, go to the Hall of Offerings immediately to report this matter to the Grand Elder. The rest of you, seal off the area within a hundred meters of the side hall and do not allow anyone to approach. If you see any suspicious persons, arrest them immediately!"

"good."

Just as the group was about to divide up their tasks, a deep voice that cracked Bibi Dong's cold expression came again from the main entrance behind them:

"There's no need to go to the offering hall; I've already arrived."

A thousand streams?!

How could he have arrived so quickly?!

Bibi Dong stiffly turned her head, her gaze meeting Qian Daoliu's unreadable expression.

An invisible pressure pressed down on her, and Bibi Dong's lips trembled. Under Qian Daoliu's deep, majestic, and oppressive gaze, she stubbornly straightened her back, as if silently resisting something.

"Great Offering!"

The elders bowed in greeting.

Qian Daoliu looked at Bibi Dong, who was all alone, and his eyes flashed with many emotions. In the end, he indifferently looked away and his gaze fell on the white skeleton lying on the cold, wet ground. A look of sorrow appeared on his face.

No matter how hostile the father and son are now, as Qian Yuelong said, death is like a lamp going out. Even though Qian Daoliu had undergone the angel's test and had already dulled his emotions and lived for a long time, he still couldn't help but feel heartbroken when facing his son's remains.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

While the attention of the titled Douluo was focused on Qian Xunji's remains, Qian Yuelong quietly slipped back into her room and lay on her small bed. Gazing at the hazy, fragmented light seeping in from the window, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, feeling uneasy.

The third party in the locked room... please, please don't let it be the person she's thinking of...
