Douluo Continent: Starting by nuking Shrek Academy

Chapter 172: The two sides are locked in a stalemate, and a major battle is imminent.

"Yes, it must be decided by our Elders' Hall."

The other worshippers nodded in agreement.

"impossible."

“Yuan Lang is a member of my Papal Palace, and I am the one who should make the judgment. Your Elders Palace has no right to interfere.”

Bibi Dong rejected it outright.

"Hmph! He killed one of our elders, there's no room for negotiation on that."

Golden Crocodile Douluo also looked determined and showed no sign of backing down.

"Don't go too far."

Bibi Dong took a step forward, unleashing the terrifying power of a peak Douluo, and issued a cold warning.

"So what if it's excessive? Does His Holiness the Pope intend to attack us?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo, confident that the Elder Hall was filled with the Spirit Hall's top combat power, was not afraid of Bibi Dong at all. He stepped forward and released the terrifying pressure of a peak Douluo.

Tit for tat.

"Too deceiving!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance, then stepped forward together and stood beside Bibi Dong.

Although they came from the Elders' Hall, they had long been following Bibi Dong.

How could they tolerate the Golden Crocodile Douluo pressuring their Pope like this?

They might have no choice but to follow Bibi Dong and fight.

"Do you really think you're so great just because you're following the Pope?"

Seeing this, the other elders in the hall also stepped out.

A terrifying aura surged forth from their bodies, and the auras of peak Douluo masters erupted together.

The oppressive force was terrifying.

Even the clouds in the sky couldn't withstand it and began to churn wildly.

"Protect His Holiness the Pope!"

A large number of Papal Palace guards drew their weapons, unleashing terrifying killing intent as they confronted the Elders.

Although none of them reached the title of Douluo.

However, most of them were selected from ordinary people.

Bibi Dong was loyal to him, and even though he knew he was no match for him, he still drew his sword.

They vowed to defend their Pope to the death.

In an instant, the atmosphere at the scene froze to the extreme.

Everyone held their breath, their faces solemn.

A major war could break out at any moment.

"Not good!"

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Qian Daoliu frowned and looked very serious.

He wished he could slap that meddlesome Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo, to death.

He cursed Golden Crocodile Douluo under his breath, calling him an idiot.

All they care about is protecting the interests of the Elders' Hall; they have no sense of the bigger picture.

What's so difficult about killing Bibi Dong?

Do you really think he can't do it?

Do I need you to remind me?

However, the family of a thousand is small in number.

After Qian Xunji's death, Qian Renxue had not yet grown up.

Of all the families, only Bibi Dong, the daughter-in-law, is qualified to be the Pope.

If Bibi Dong were to unify the continent, then killing him would be acceptable.

However, the Spirit Hall has just risen to prominence and its future is uncertain. Killing Bibi Dong is not in the Spirit Hall's interest at all.

Besides, how am I supposed to tell Qian Renxue about this?

However, it is absolutely unacceptable to let Yuan Lang off the hook.

Despite the Papal Palace's rapid expansion over the years, the Elders' Palace has maintained its control, thanks to its prestige.

Once this precedent is set, it's tantamount to sending a signal to the entire Spirit Hall: the Elders' Hall is no longer viable, and now the Pope is the one who calls the shots.

That would have a huge impact, and could even shake the very foundation of the Elders' Hall.

This is something he absolutely does not want to see.

In the past, whenever there were conflicts between the two sides, Bibi Dong would take the initiative to show weakness.

Now that she's not backing down, and he has no way to back down, things really can't go on like this.

It's going to be a fierce battle.

This put him in a dilemma.

If he had known that Bibi Dong would go to such lengths for Yuan Lang, he would never have allowed Golden Crocodile Douluo to threaten Bibi Dong.

But it's too late to regret now.

He could only follow suit and unleash his terrifying aura as a peerless Douluo, attempting to force Bibi Dong to submit.

"Old man, you've gone too far! I'll just suspend the divine exam and fight you to the death."

Bibi Dong was overwhelmed by Qian Daoliu's terrifying aura as a peerless Douluo, and her heart was filled with extreme anger.

These elders have been suppressing her for over twenty years.

She usually tolerated the elders' interference in important matters, since she lacked sufficient resources.

However, Yuan Lang possesses many secrets, which are her greatest weapon for unifying the world in the future, and she absolutely cannot give in to them.

Even if it meant sacrificing the divine test and having to withdraw her consciousness, she was determined to protect Yuan Lang.

Thinking this, she prepared to temporarily abandon the divine test, withdraw her spiritual power back to her physical body, and fight against Qian Daoliu.

"Ah~"

Seeing that a major battle was about to break out, Yuan Lang sighed helplessly.

He understood that although Bibi Dong had won the support of a large number of commoner soul masters.

However, it is too difficult to cultivate to become a Title Douluo.

As a result, although the overall strength of the soul masters in the Papal Palace has surpassed that of the Elder Palace.

However, in terms of top-tier combat power, the Elders' Hall possesses an overwhelming advantage.

That's why the people in the Elders' Hall dare to threaten so brazenly.

If war breaks out now, they will definitely lose.

Thinking of this.

Yuan Lang stepped forward.

"What are you doing? It's dangerous here, go back quickly."

Bibi Dong was preparing to unleash her full mental energy to fight the divine test.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Lang suddenly stepped out of the crowd, startling her. She hurriedly grabbed Yuan Lang's shoulder to remind him.

Even when facing the Elders' Hall, she wasn't entirely confident of victory.

Yuan Lang came out directly, and even she would have a hard time protecting him.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Yuan Lang patted Bibi Dong's hand to reassure her.

"No."

Bibi Dong was a smart woman and immediately guessed what Yuan Lang was going to do, and firmly shook her head.

"Believe me."

Yuan Lang said with a resolute expression.

"This……"

Hesitation and inner conflict flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.

But they also understood that only Yuan Lang could resolve the current situation.

With a helpless sigh, he respected Yuan Lang's choice and slowly released his hand.

"Yuan Lang!"

Hu Liena cried out in concern.

Now that a major battle is about to break out between the two sides, going out now would mean certain death.

"Don't worry, we haven't had a deep 'discussion' in reality yet, and I'm not that easy to kill."

Yuan Lang understood Hu Liena's feelings and gave her a bright smile.

He resolutely turned around and strode into the center of the field.

The whole incident started because of Yuan Lang. His appearance immediately captivated everyone present, and everyone looked at Yuan Lang.

"Your Majesty, how can you let Yuan Lang go out..."

Ghost Douluo looked tense and anxious.

These elders are all ruthless; they're forcing him like this all for Yuan Lang's sake.
