Douluo Continent: Twin Angels, Heartless Rakshasa

pope!

With Qian Xunji's death, the position had been vacant for several days, and finally a new pope had to be chosen!

The other six worshippers immediately became extremely vigilant.

Qian Daoliu said, "As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Although my Spirit Hall is not a legitimate country, it is still a leading power."

"Ji'er has tragically died, and a new pope must be chosen to lead the entire Spirit Hall back on the right track."

"Feel free to express any opinions you wish to share."

Golden Crocodile Douluo's tone carried a hint of probing: "Brother, why don't you reclaim the Pope's throne?"

"As long as you are willing to sit back down, I believe no one in the Spirit Hall will object."

"Moreover, the panic in the city will soon subside."

Although he was a bit older than Qian Daoliu, seniority in the Elder Hall was always determined by strength.

Qian Daoliu was stronger than him, so he called him "elder brother" wholeheartedly.

"Second brother, you know me. I'm no longer interested in worldly power, otherwise I wouldn't have passed the papacy to Ji'er. Don't say things like that again."

Qian Daoliu shook his head, rejecting his suggestion.

Golden Crocodile Douluo frowned and asked, "Brother, please tell us who you want to appoint as Pope. We brothers will carefully consider your choice."

"Yes, brother, speak up." The other retainers nodded and echoed.

"Bibi Dong," Qian Daoliu said in a deep voice, "Bibi Dong is the Holy Maiden of my Spirit Hall, and legally she has the right to succeed the Pope. Let her be the Pope for a while."

"Wait until Xue'er grows up, then take over the papacy from her."

He was naturally uncomfortable with Bibi Dong succeeding him as pope, after all, she was the real enemy who killed his son.

Nothing is more painful than elevating the person who killed your son to a high position.

However, with a power vacuum in the Spirit Hall and the need to oversee the Elders' Hall, he couldn't spare the time to become the Pope.

Currently, Bibi Dong is the most suitable person to be the Pope, and she can quickly stabilize the situation.

With her twin martial soul talents, she might be able to lead the Spirit Hall to even greater heights.

Furthermore, she is the biological mother of Xiao Chen and Xiao Xue. Making her the Pope would be a more effective way to keep her in the Spirit Hall, preventing her from defecting to the enemy and avoiding her going to find that useless son, Yu Yuanzhen.

She could even use the Pope's daily political affairs to slow down her ordination process.

Overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Qianjun Douluo thought to himself, "As expected, my elder brother had Bibi Dong participate in this raid on the Haotian Sect so that she could gain the reputation of avenging her husband and thus more legitimately succeed to the position of Pope."

"Perhaps there was also the element of establishing his authority; he had long intended for Bibi Dong to succeed him as Pope..."

Golden Crocodile Douluo frowned, somewhat displeased, and said, "Brother, what merits does Bibi Dong possess to be qualified to succeed as Pope?"

Qian Daoliu said calmly, "Second brother, if Bibi Dong isn't qualified, who do you think should succeed her as Pope?"

"Xiaoxue can sit on it. With Big Brother behind her, who would dare to disobey?" Golden Crocodile Douluo said in a deep voice.

"absurd!"

Qian Daoliu slammed his hand on the table and said sternly, "Second brother, Xiaoxue is too young. Even if these people below are outwardly obedient, they will not truly submit in their hearts if she sits on the throne."

"The key is that Xiaoxue is in the golden age of cultivation. Making her the pope would be a waste of her talent."

The worshippers looked at each other in silence.

Seeing that no one objected, Qian Daoliu continued, "This matter is settled then. My mind is made up."

"Don't worry, even if Bibi Dong inherits the papacy, she can only manage the Papal Palace. I will not hand over the Elder Palace and Douluo Palace to her. At that time, we will retire to the Hall of Offerings to cultivate in seclusion. You don't need to heed her orders."

"Yes, brother!"

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's verbal promise, the worshippers all secretly sighed.

Although they were still somewhat dissatisfied with Bibidon's succession to the Pope, it did not affect their lives, and they were not unwilling to compromise, so they reluctantly accepted the result.

Nobody wants me to succeed as Pope? What a shame. If someone offered me a position, I would have accepted immediately…

A thousand feet of dust felt utterly tasteless.

Although he knew that even if he wanted to become pope, the old man would definitely not agree.

After the meeting, the members of the Elders' Hall dispersed in twos and threes.

Qian Daoliu first personally escorted Qian Renchen home to rest, and then went to inform Bibi Dong.

The two high priests, Qianjun and Jiangmo, went to gather the cardinals and prepare the soul master forces, striving to complete the inventory before dawn and await their orders.

Time passed slowly, and soon the second day arrived.

Upon receiving news that the Soul Master team tasked with conquering the Clear Sky Sect was gathering on the plains north of Wuhun City, Qian Renchen left the north gate early in the morning.

At first glance, the training ground was crowded with people, a dark mass, like a dark cloud pressing down on the city, and even the air felt suffocating.

These are all Soul Masters, Soul Masters who are rarely seen in ordinary small villages. There are a total of eight thousand of them here!

Bibi Dong was also scanning the Soul Masters from a distance, her expression indifferent, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

As Qian Renchen got closer, he smelled a faint fragrance, sweet and sticky, which was the scent from his mother.

When Bibi Dong saw Qian Renchen arrive, she was startled. "Why are you here?" she asked, assuming that Qian Renchen had been wandering around again.

"Let's go attack the Haotian Sect," Qian Renchen chuckled.

"You?" Bibi Dong frowned slightly, a look of suspicion on her face. "Your grandfather actually let you participate in this operation?"

"Isn't he afraid you might make a mistake on the battlefield?"

She couldn't believe that the old man had actually sent his precious grandson to the Haotian Sect. That would be a surprise attack, which would trigger a large-scale melee.

Even a tiny child like Qian Renchen would instantly attract the attention of the Haotian Sect disciples, and his situation would become extremely dangerous, with a bunch of people wanting to kill him.

Qian Renchen spread his hands in front of him and said softly, "Grandpa always said I didn't do anything serious, so he forced me to go to the battlefield."

Bibi Dong chuckled inwardly, completely disbelieving, but too lazy to ask any further questions.

Having known each other for many years, she knew she wouldn't get anything out of this little rascal.

She patted Qian Renchen on the shoulder and said calmly, "Be careful, don't die in the Haotian Sect."

After all, they were her own flesh and blood, so she softened her heart and gave them a few words of advice, even though they sounded more like a provocation.

After the Soul Master army was counted, in addition to Qian Daoliu, Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, and Bibi Dong, four elders from the Spirit Hall also joined the team.

The four elders are Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, and Ghost Leopard Douluo.

This demonstrates the importance attached to the Haotian Sect.

The army quietly set off, heading straight for the Forging God Mountain Range where the Haotian Sect was located.

This mountain range is located within the Antonio Province of the Star Luo Empire, adjacent to and facing Gengxin City.

Among the three upper sects, unlike the other two sects which lean towards the Heaven Dou Empire, the Haotian Sect leans more towards the Star Luo Empire and seems to have some cooperation with it.

Their sect was naturally established within the territory of the Star Luo Empire.

Later, due to pressure from the Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect moved to the Heaven Dou Empire for certain reasons.
