Bibi Dong remained calm, showing no sign of backing down.
"Sect Leader Ning, I have come here today for only one thing."
"Hand over that 100,000-year-old soul beast."
"Or, give me a satisfactory explanation, proving that she will not pose any threat to the Soul Master world after she takes human form."
"If not..."
Bibi Dong paused for a moment.
"Then I have no choice but to nip the threat in the bud for the sake of all Soul Masters."
"Oh."
Ning Liu let out a soft laugh.
He took two steps forward and stood in front of Bibi Dong.
"For the sake of all Soul Masters, nip the threat in the bud?"
"Your Holiness, that's a rather unhelpful way of putting it."
Ning Liu stared directly at Bibi Dong, his words tinged with mockery.
"I suspect that all the popes of the Spirit Hall have this kind of fetish?"
"The previous Pope, Qian Xunji, liked to capture Soul Masters who had transformed into humans."
"Do you still like this one?"
The moment the words fell, Chrysanthemum Douluo behind Bibi Dong's eyes suddenly contracted.
Demon Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo were both startled and looked at Ning Liu.
The previous pope?
That name, that existence, has long been a taboo subject within the Spirit Hall!
How dare he mention Ning Liu?
How could he have known?!
As soon as she finished speaking, a terrifying killing intent erupted from Bibi Dong's body, and purple soul power flames flashed around her.
Those beautiful eyes now held only pure, venomous resentment and madness, a desire to devour people alive.
But that was only for a moment.
The next second, all the killing intent and soul power were forcibly suppressed back into her body, as if they had never existed.
However, her trembling fingertips and her suddenly paler face proved that all of this had happened!
Ningliu.
Bibi Dong's voice suddenly became somewhat hoarse!
"Don't speak carelessly."
"I will repeat myself: this trip is solely for the purpose of maintaining order and peace in the Soul Master world and eliminating potential threats."
"Stop with the pretty words."
Ning Liu waved his hand casually, completely tearing away the pretense of politeness.
"Your Holiness, we both know the truth."
"Are you standing here today to avenge Ghost Douluo, or are you coveting my 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone?"
He met Bibi Dong's icy gaze and spoke each word clearly.
"If you just want to pester me relentlessly today..."
"Then don't blame me for taking on Xiao Wu's grudge!"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression turned ugly again.
Ning Liu's words were tantamount to completely overturning the table.
He not only bound himself tightly to Xiao Wu, but also took on Xiao Wu's revenge, the revenge for killing her mother back then.
This means that Liuli Tian is going to settle old scores with the Spirit Hall.
"good!"
"very good!"
Bibi Dong's chest heaved.
"Sect Leader Ning, it seems that we are destined to have a rift between us because of this matter."
Is this the result you wanted?
No, of course not.
Seeing that Bibi Dong's momentum had softened, Ning Liu's sharpness also subsided, and he instead revealed a businessman-like amiable smile, his tone becoming gentler.
“Your Holiness, I think this matter can be viewed from two perspectives.”
"The first issue is the Xuan Shui Sect's sneak attack on my Liuli Heaven."
Ning Liu extended one finger.
"In this matter, your Spirit Hall violated the agreement, knowing the truth but not reporting it, and secretly sent Ghost Douluo to infiltrate and watch the tigers fight from the sidelines, intending to make a move at the opportune moment. This is unjust."
“I, Liuli Tian, can overlook your ‘unjust’ actions.”
"But from now on, I, Liuli Tian, need to earn enough respect from the Spirit Hall, and see your true sincerity in future cooperation."
He put down his finger and then extended a second one.
"The second aspect is Xiao Wu."
"And...her hatred for Your Holiness the Pope for killing her mother."
Ning Liu clapped his hands lightly.
Snap, snap
As the crisp applause echoed, the door to the side hall was pushed open, and a slender figure stepped out.
It was Xiao Wu.
When she saw the graceful figure in the center of the hall and the effeminate man beside her, her once bright eyes were instantly stained with blood.
She clenched her fists tightly, forcibly suppressing the urge to rush forward and fight to the death.
Bibi Dong and Chrysanthemum Douluo were also taken aback when they saw Xiao Wu.
In particular, Chrysanthemum Douluo could clearly sense the lingering aura of a soul beast on Xiao Wu's body.
"You beast!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo let out a shrill cry, burning with rage.
"It was you who killed Old Ghost!"
A terrifying pressure of soul power swept towards Xiao Wu.
"snort!"
With a cold snort, Xu Jiushi's burly body blocked Xiao Wu's path.
"Shut your beak!"
"you!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo was so angry that he trembled all over.
Ning Liu ignored Chrysanthemum Douluo and walked to Xiao Wu's side, gently holding her cold, trembling hand and giving her a look to reassure her.
Then, Ning Liu looked at Bibi Dong again.
"Your Holiness, enemies are easy to make, but difficult to resolve."
"Some things are better discussed behind closed doors than brought up in public and made to lose face."
He smiled slightly, a smile tinged with mystery.
"If you really want to resolve this matter, why don't you come with me to a private room for a detailed discussion?"
After saying that, he stopped looking at Bibi Dong's reaction, took Xiao Wu's hand, and turned to walk into the depths of the main hall.
Xu Jiushi followed closely behind, and the three of them turned their backs to the Spirit Hall group.
Dugu Bo and Xuan Lin remained in place, one on the left and one on the right, their auras locked onto Chrysanthemum Douluo and the other two to prevent them from making any unusual moves.
Bibi Dong stood there, watching Ning Liu's retreating figure, her eyes gleaming.
Want to discuss this in detail separately?
What exactly is he up to?
After a few seconds of silence, she finally took a step and followed.
