Douluo Continent: I am the Ice Archer, my ice power is invincible.

Chapter 187 Establishing the New Spirit Hall

Xiao Wu felt disgusted by Bibi Dong's ugly face and pretentious tone.

Xiao Wu pursed her lips tightly, looking at Bibi Dong with a complicated expression, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Her mother's death was a constant source of pain for her, and an insurmountable chasm between her and Bibi Dong.

However, as Tang San said, the overall situation is more important at present.

They need to rely on Bibi Dong's power to fight against the powerful Martial Soul Empire and avenge Da Ming, Er Ming, Flander, Liu Erlong, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and those who died because of Xiao Han and Qian Renxue.

"Bibi Dong, I admit that I cannot let go of my mother's death. But many more people I care about died because of Xiao Han and Qian Renxue, so I am willing to temporarily put aside my personal grievances and fight alongside you. This does not mean that I will forget the past, the future... If there is an opportunity in the future, I will still seek justice for my mother."

Upon hearing Xiao Wu's bold words, a fleeting hint of sadness flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She understood Xiao Wu's position and appreciated her honesty and courage.

However, she didn't care about Tang San and Xiao Wu at all.

With her abilities, killing those two would be as easy as crushing ants.

Out of respect for Yu Xiaogang, she wouldn't stoop to their level.

"Xiao Wu, I admire your honesty. Rest assured, although I, Bibi Dong, am not a benevolent person, I still value integrity. If you still wish to seek revenge after dealing with Xiao Han and those people from the Spirit Hall, I will be waiting for you anytime."

Bibi Dong also had her own calculations.

If Xiao Wu overestimates herself and seeks revenge, then she can take advantage of the situation and eliminate Xiao Wu.

Tang San watched Xiao Wu silently from the side, his heart heavy.

He knew how difficult this choice would be for Xiao Wu.

But the current situation forces them to do this.

Tang San and Xiao Wu returned to their residence.

The dim, warm light shone down inside, adding a touch of warmth to the tranquil space.

Xiao Wu sat on the edge of the bed, her arms wrapped around her knees, her eyes still filled with disgust and resentment towards Bibi Dong.

Tang San stood beside her, his gaze gentle yet firm.

"Xiao Wu, I know you're heartbroken. What Bibi Dong did is unforgivable. But for now, we must endure."

Xiao Wu lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously stroking the hem of her clothes, her voice slightly choked:

"I really hate her! Every time I see her face, it reminds me of my mother... but..."

Tang San knelt down, reached out, and gently took Xiao Wu's hand to comfort her.

"I understand that this conflicting feeling is causing you a lot of pain. Once all of this is over, whatever you want to do, I will support you, even if it means facing Bibi Dong."

Xiao Wu raised her head, and in her tear-filled eyes, she saw Tang San's resolute figure.

"Brother, thank you. With you here, I feel like I can get through all of this. If... if I ever have another chance, I will definitely seek justice for Mom myself."

Tang San nodded, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Don't worry, that day won't be too far away."

"Brother, I believe in you."

Xiao Wu forced a smile, trying not to worry Tang San.

She believed that one day she would take revenge on Bibi Dong.

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan stood inside the main hall.

Bibidon sat on the papal chair.

She received news that Yue Guan and Gui Mei had both chosen to stay in Wuhun City and would not come to her aid.

A chilling aura emanated from her body, causing the temperature inside the hall to plummet.

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan couldn't help but shiver.

They had never seen Bibi Dong so furious.

"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, you two traitors!"

Bibi Dong's voice was low and filled with anger.

"When I was Pope of the Spirit Hall, I treated you two well, thinking you would be sensible. I never expected you to be such short-sighted fools!"

Bibi Dong suddenly flicked her sleeve, and a cold wind swept through the hall.

Hu Liena and the other two quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into Bibi Dong's eyes, which seemed to be spitting fire.

Elders Yueguan and Guimei have always treated the three of them well, and have watched them grow up.

He treated Hu Liena especially like his own granddaughter.

The three of them never imagined that they would one day become enemies with the two elders.

"Spirit City, humph! It's nothing but a rotten cage. Do you think you can live out your lives in peace by staying there?!"

Bibi Dong sneered repeatedly, her facial expression slightly distorted with anger.

"Since you chose to betray me for the riches and glory offered by the Spirit Hall, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Bibi Dong suddenly stood up, her gaze sweeping over Hu Liena and the other two like a knife.

"You three remember this: from now on, Yue Guan and Gui Mei are also enemies of our new Spirit Hall! If you see them on the battlefield, do not let old feelings get in the way."

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."

Hu Liena and the other two felt a tightness in their chests and dared not utter a word of rebuttal.

Bibi Dong looked at them, the anger in her eyes slightly subsiding, but her tone remained icy:

"Very good. What I need is absolute loyalty. Anyone who betrays me will not have a good end! The three of you are the future of the new Spirit Hall, so don't let me down."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, we have no ill intentions towards you."

Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction.

"Nana, at tomorrow's opening ceremony, I will appoint you as the Holy Maiden of the new Spirit Hall and make you my successor in the future."

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Holiness the Pope."

"Alright, you may all leave now and prepare for tomorrow's opening ceremony."

The next day, as dawn broke, a faint golden glow enveloped the sky above McConville.

The city was bustling with activity, as tens of thousands of Soul Masters gathered in the central square.

Their eyes were filled with anticipation and enthusiasm as they were about to witness this historic moment together—the opening ceremony of the new Spirit Hall.

Representatives from the new seven major powers—the Holy Dragon Sect, Elephant Armor Sect, Black Tiger Sect, Wind Sword Sect, Fire Leopard Sect, Rock Antelope Sect, and Sparrow Bee Sect—stood at the front.

Each of them led their elite Soul Masters to demonstrate their unwavering support for Bibi Dong through concrete actions.

As a melodious and solemn bell rang, the entire square fell into a brief silence, and everyone's eyes were focused on the high platform.

Bibi Dong, dressed in a magnificent papal robe, wearing a crown inlaid with jewels, and holding a scepter, slowly walked into the center of the high platform.

Every step she took was steady and powerful, as if the once high and mighty Pope of the Spirit Hall had returned.

As everyone held their breath in anticipation, Bibi Dong slowly began to speak:

"Today, the new Spirit Hall is officially established. It will no longer be the Spirit Hall of the past, but a new dawn for the Spirit Master world! Together, we will write our own glorious chapter!"

Bibi Dong's voice was penetrating and clearly reached everyone's ears.

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause and cheers erupted in the square.

The Soul Masters were overwhelmed with excitement.

They believed that under Bibi Dong's leadership, the new Spirit Hall would surely usher in unprecedented prosperity.
