Chapter 133 Dialogue: Yue Guan and Gui Mei
The Hall of Spirits, the Hall of Offerings.
At this moment, all seven priests were seated at the round table.
Among them, Fifteen Ton Douluo was recounting everything that had happened on this trip.
Upon hearing that Qin Mu actually possessed the ability to kill a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape in its final, desperate attempt to fight back, the eyes of all the priests present revealed expressions of surprise and satisfaction.
No one objected to Fifteen Ton Douluo's arrangement to give Qin Mu the left arm bone of the Titan Giant Ape.
However, when Bibi Dong was mentioned, the expressions of everyone present changed.
"Great Elder, Bibi Dong seems to be more complex than she appears!"
"Even when Falling Devil Douluo was facing the Titan Giant Ape, she had some difficulty, but she was able to injure two 100,000-year-old soul beasts one after another."
"With such ambition, why should we keep her around?"
After a long pause, someone finally raised the question.
After these words were spoken, the others remained silent, clearly sharing the same doubts about the issue.
"Bibi Dong's strength has always been within my expectations."
"After all, she is a rare twin martial soul, and she also has a soul ring and soul bone that are 100,000 years old."
"Having such strength is not so surprising."
Qian Daoliu sat in the main seat, always as calm and composed as ever.
"The reason I've kept her here until now is firstly because I have other plans."
"Secondly, she is indeed very capable. Under her leadership, the Spirit Hall has developed rapidly in recent years."
"Moreover, she now wields considerable influence within the Spirit Hall, as you all witnessed during our last meeting."
No one had any questions about what Qian Daoliu said.
The fact that the number of junior officers in the Spirit Hall doubled under Bibi Dong's leadership alone shows that Bibi Dong is indeed very capable.
"We could easily remove her from the position of Pope, but that would also cause some concern among the elders."
"At such a critical juncture, further turmoil within the Spirit Hall is something none of you would want to see."
"It would be better to wait until Qin Mu's strength is higher and he has a certain influence in the Spirit Hall before making any plans."
At this point, the person who had asked the question earlier nodded and sighed helplessly.
Although the core members of the Spirit Hall are a few individuals, to make the Spirit Hall more influential, it naturally requires the concerted efforts of the elders, cardinals, and deacons of the branch halls.
If they are allowed to do as they please, using whomever they want and dismissing whomever they want, over time, the Spirit Hall will inevitably lose the support of its people.
"Speaking of which, Qin Mu's current spirit power has reached level sixty-eight."
"Based on this calculation, once his strength reaches level eighty or so, he should be qualified to succeed the Pope, right?"
Qin Mu, who possesses eight spirit rings, will have at least three 100,000-year-old soul bones and three 100,000-year-old spirit rings.
This is already a terrifying fighting force.
He might not be able to defeat Qian Daoliu, who is at level 99, but he at least has the ability to fight against Fifteen Ton Douluo.
Those titled Douluo below level 95 in the Elder Hall would probably be no match for Qin Mu.
"Shouldn't we also step in to protect him?"
Another person raised a question, but this question brought a smile to the faces of many people present.
"In today's Douluo Continent, who dares to oppose us?"
Upon hearing this, everyone chuckled knowingly.
The Spirit Hall's power is currently at its zenith.
Although the process was somewhat bumpy and they were harassed by the Clear Sky Sect.
But what was the result?
The only publicly acknowledged strongman in the Clear Sky Sect is Tang Xiao, and whether he can defeat Ling Yuan in her current state is another matter entirely.
Tang Hao is even more of a non-threat; the successive heavy blows have removed him from the Spirit Hall's list of major enemies.
Even now, Tang Hao could be killed by any titled Douluo elder sent by the Spirit Hall.
Then who would dare to attack them?
Or is it the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, living in seclusion in a remote corner? Or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, backed by Heaven Dou City?
Amidst laughter, the meeting in the Hall of Offerings came to an end.
Meanwhile, inside the Hall of Elders within the Spirit Hall, Yue Guan pulled his longtime friend, Gui Mei, to a secluded corner.
"Hey Chrysanthemum Guan, what are you doing? If you're not interested in women anymore, don't come looking for me!"
Looking at Yue Guan's mysterious expression, Gui Mei couldn't help but make a joke.
Upon hearing Gui Mei's words, Yue Guan gritted his teeth, but he wasn't angry.
After all, the two had been together for many years and were even closer than brothers.
"You jerk, do you have to be so annoying to me?"
Gui Mei chuckled, as if he felt quite pleased with Yue Guan's humiliation.
"What's wrong? What's all the mystery about?"
Seeing that Gui Mei had stopped laughing and joking, Yue Guan also composed himself and looked at Gui Mei with a serious expression.
"Hey Lao Gui, have you thought about our future?"
"The days to come? What does that mean? I don't quite understand."
Gui Mei frowned slightly as he looked at Yue Guan, wondering what he was up to.
"Chrysanthemum Guan, just say what's on your mind."
Seeing Gui Mei's expression, Yue Guan still kept it a secret.
"Gui Mei, do you still remember why we initially joined the Spirit Hall?"
Upon hearing this, Gui Mei's expression changed slightly. After checking the surroundings and confirming that no one else was around, he looked at Yue Guan.
"What's wrong? You seem unusually strange today."
Yue Guan sighed, then looked wistfully at a window high up.
The window is small, and you can only see a small part of the sky outside.
"Originally, we joined the Spirit Hall partly because we didn't want to wander the world like before and wanted an organization to stay in."
"Just then, the Spirit Hall provided us with a platform, allowing us to settle down and enjoy such wealth and honor."
"But aren't we all imprisoned in this tiny space now?"
As they were talking, a small bird flew to the window, poked its head out to look at Yue Guan and the other person, and then immediately flapped its wings and flew away.
"To outsiders, we may be revered titled Douluo, elders of the Spirit Hall, and even have left our mark on the Pope's decree."
"But only you and I know that we are now merely tools in the hands of the Spirit Hall!"
"If one day we truly lose our value, the Spirit Hall will absolutely not hesitate to abandon us!"
"But we have no choice! We can't break free, and we can't escape!"
Upon hearing this, Gui Mei was immediately terrified and covered Yue Guan's mouth with his hand.
"Are you crazy?! Do you know what you're saying?"
Yue Guan watched Gui Mei's movements calmly, without struggling at all.
After Gui Mei released his grip, Yue Guan immediately continued and said something.
"Old ghost, I only have one question for you."
Do you still remember our original dream?
"We said we would be the freest Soul Masters in the world!"
