Yang Yuan's words were not just meant for Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, but also for Qian Renxue.
No matter what, Qian Renxue was Bibi Dong's biological daughter; the connection between their Bloodlines could not be severed.
Thus, Yang Yuan spared Bibi Dong's life, merely crippling her two Spirits.
After hearing this, the expressions on Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's faces suddenly froze, and they looked at Yang Yuan with faces full of horror.
He... what did he say?
He actually crippled two of Her Majesty the Supreme Pontiff's Spirits?
Not just Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo—everyone present was shocked, staring with slack-jawed amazement.
The dignified Supreme Pontiff had actually had her Spirits crippled on her own territory!
Didn't that mean that from now on, Bibi Dong would be reduced to a complete cripple?
Qian Renxue gazed blankly at the blood-covered figure on the square, her expression complex.
She didn't know how to describe her current feelings.
On one hand, she felt that Bibi Dong deserved the state she had fallen into.
If she hadn't targeted him time and again, how could someone as gentle as Xiao Yuan have acted so ruthlessly toward her?
Although one usually sides with family over logic, from childhood to adulthood, when had Bibi Dong ever fulfilled her responsibility as a mother?
Aside from that layer of Bloodline connection, the affection between the two of them was nowhere near as deep as her bond with Yang Yuan.
But on the other hand...
Bibi Dong was her mother after all, and now her Spirits were crippled, reducing her to a useless person.
No matter how great Qian Renxue's grievances against her were, at this moment, she couldn't help but set them aside.
Two contradictory emotions clashed in Qian Renxue's heart, leaving her dazed on the spot for a moment.
Meanwhile, the entire scene turned into a chaotic mess. The sounds of clamorous discussion shook the heavens and earth, and even the various priests of the Hall of Worship could no longer sit still.
Although Bibi Dong was at odds with them, she was still the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall.
If they didn't step forward now, the reputation of the entire Spirit Hall would surely plummet.
"Silence!"
A grand and majestic voice resounded throughout Spirit Hall.
Seven figures walked slowly from a distance, each emitting a faint but powerful sense of oppression.
The moment he saw the seven, a sharp light burst from Sword Douluo's eyes, and a trace of invisible Sword Intent overflowed from his body.
"These people should be those from the Hall of Worship."
"I can sense that every one of them is no weaker than I was before my Breakthrough."
Sword Douluo's voice was calm, but his expression carried a hint of solemnity.
"What!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was greatly alarmed.
As the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he naturally knew that there was a Hall of Worship above Spirit Hall.
But he truly hadn't expected the Hall of Worship's foundation to be so profound, having as many as seven Titled Douluo above Rank 95.
One must realize that in the entire Upper Three Sects, aside from Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect who had long since disappeared, only Sword Douluo was a Titled Douluo above Rank 95.
Even the Thunder Douluo of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was only at Rank 95.
One could imagine how deep Spirit Hall's foundation was.
If Spirit Hall truly wanted to destroy the Upper Three Sects, who among them could resist?
Among the seven, the leader appeared middle-aged with golden hair and a handsome face.
The moment he appeared, the originally chaotic scene immediately quieted down significantly.
The group of Spirit Masters and Bishops from Spirit Hall, along with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, knelt on one knee in unison and shouted together.
"We welcome the High Priest!"
Heaven Dou Academy spectator area.
"The status of these people seems very high; even Titled Douluo have to bow to them."
"Who cares who they are? The Class Monitor even crippled the Supreme Pontiff; why would he fear them?"
"That's right. The Class Monitor is invincible. Whether it's the High Priest or the Second Priest, none of them are a match for him."
After witnessing Bibi Dong's fate, in the eyes of the Heaven Dou Academy crowd, Yang Yuan was no different from a deity; his existence represented omnipotence.
Dugu Yan's expression, however, was slightly solemn.
"If I remember correctly, this High Priest should be the Rank 99 PeakDouluo who dominated the continent decades ago, Qian Daoliu."
Hiss—
"Rank 99!!"
Everyone was greatly shocked, and they all sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Sister Yanzi, you really know a lot."
Dugu Yan smiled slightly and said:
"I only heard my grandfather mention him once. This High Priest is said to be 140 or 150 years old. Even my grandfather is just a junior in his eyes. Many people don't know of his prestige."
Everyone came to a realization.
Ning Rongrong clenched her fists and said, "No matter who he is, he definitely won't be a match for Brother Xiao Yuan."
Everyone chimed in.
"Exactly, the Class Monitor is invincible!"
...Yang Yuan and Qian Daoliu's gazes met across the distance.
After a long while, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I didn't expect you to be able to defeat Bibi Dong with a Spirit Saint cultivation. Your current strength is likely already above mine. Truly, the younger generation is to be feared!"
Hearing Qian Daoliu state that he was not Yang Yuan's match, the scene broke into an uproar, and the expressions of the Spirit Hall experts changed drastically.
If even he wasn't Yang Yuan's match, who else in the entire Spirit Hall could do anything to Yang Yuan?
Yang Yuan calmly accepted Qian Daoliu's praise and said with a smile, "Old man, you coming out at this time... surely you're not here to cause trouble for me, are you?"
If someone respects me an inch, I respect them a foot!
Whether for Qian Renxue's sake or because of those Spirit Bones, Qian Daoliu was worthy of Yang Yuan's respect.
Feeling Yang Yuan's attitude, a smile couldn't help but appear on Qian Daoliu's face. He shook his head and said, "Although Bibi Dong possessed the strength of a Supreme Pontiff, she lacked the magnanimity of one. Falling to her current state can be considered her own doing."
Hearing this, Yang Yuan smiled. "As long as you're not looking for trouble. After all, I don't want to start a massacre here."
Having said that, he glanced in the direction of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, immediately frightening them into a shiver.
The two had no doubt about the authenticity of Yang Yuan's words.
Hadn't they heard that even the High Priest admitted he was not Yang Yuan's match?
He definitely had that capability!
Qian Daoliu laughed. "Spirit Hall naturally won't cause trouble for you. However, by crippling Bibi Dong, you have indeed brought extremely serious trouble to our Spirit Hall."
Yang Yuan raised an eyebrow and shrugged.
"You said it yourself, old man—it was her own doing."
"Hehe, I don't mean to hold you responsible. I just want to ask you..."
"You... are you interested in becoming the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall?"
As soon as these words were spoken, even Yang Yuan was instinctively stunned. He pointed at himself and said, "Me? Serve as the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall?"
"Old man, you must be joking. I just finished crippling your Supreme Pontiff."
Not to mention Yang Yuan, the other priests were equally astonished.
Aside from Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo who didn't dare to speak, a Spirit HallTitled Douluo stepped forward with an urgent expression.
"High Priest, this absolutely must not be!"
"Yang Yuan just crippled Her Majesty the Supreme Pontiff, and now you want him to serve as the Supreme Pontiff? If this gets out, how will the world view our Spirit Hall?"
The entire scene boiled over even more.
Especially those who knew Yang Yuan—they felt it was even more inconceivable.
Letting Yang Yuan be the Supreme Pontiff?
Was this right?
