"Yes, fortunately, Your Majesty the Pope and all the Elders repelled Tang Chen. But now, a significant divergence has emerged within the Martial Soul Hall!" the woman nodded and said.
Qian Daoliu could be said to be the backbone of the Martial Soul Hall! It was within reason that the city of Martial Soul Hall would become like this once he was seriously injured!
Of course, they did not know that Tang Chen had already been dealt with by Chu Qin and his companions!
Chu Qin let out a slight sigh of relief, not worried about Qian Daoliu's injuries, as long as Dong'er was okay!
"Elder Chu Qin!"
Just then, a familiar voice rang out, and Chu Qin and his companions looked in the direction of the sound, only to see two strange figures jogging towards them—it was Yue Guan and Gui Mei!
"Grandpa Ju, Grandpa Gui!" Hulena immediately bowed to Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
"Girl, weren't you in Slaughter City?" Gui Mei exclaimed, "How come you're with Elder Chu Qin!"
"It was Elder Chu Qin who brought me back from Slaughter City!" Hulena looked at Chu Qin and replied.
"Ah?" Chrysanthemum Douluo was taken aback and turned his gaze toward Chu Qin and said.
"Hmm! It's a long story," Chu Qin nodded with a smile and said, "Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, is the Pope in? I want to see her!"
"She is!" Chrysanthemum Douluo replied hastily, "Recently, Your Majesty the Pope has been quite troubled."
"Why?" Chu Qin asked while walking towards the Pope Hall.
"Elder Chu Qin should be aware," Ghost Douluo replied, "Not long ago, Tang Chen came to the Martial Soul Hall to showcase his power and injured the Great Worship! Your Majesty the Pope wanted to lead an expedition against Hao Tian Clan, but some of the timid Elders, fearful of Tang Chen's methods, exercised their Elder rights and denied Your Majesty the Pope's proposal to eradicate the Hao Tian Clan!"
"What, are Titled Douluo so weak?" Chu Qin's mouth tilted slightly as he spoke.
"Elder Chu Qin, those people in the Elder Hall are the type who bully the weak and fear the strong, especially those guest elders who are used to living in comfort—why would they involve themselves in danger?" Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke indignantly.
"Now that you have returned, Elder Chu Qin, those Elders and guest elders will surely dare not say anything more!" Ghost Douluo added.
"What, do I hold such high esteem within the Martial Soul Hall?" Chu Qin replied with a smile.
"Of course! The fact that you defeated the Great Worship is known to all the Elders and guest elders of the Martial Soul Hall!" Chrysanthemum Douluo flattered, "It can be said that besides the Great Worship, you are the one they fear the most!"
"What, Elder Chu Qin defeated the Great Worship?" Hulena exclaimed in great surprise.
"Girl, it's normal that you didn't know after you went to Slaughter City," Gui Mei replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Chu Qin just smiled faintly.
By this time, they had arrived outside of the Pope Hall.
At this moment, the grand doors of the Pope Hall were closed, and no sound could be heard from inside.
"May I report to Your Majesty the Pope that Elder Chu Qin and Hulena have returned!" Chrysanthemum Douluo cried out, bending forward towards the hall.
The next moment, the grand doors of the Pope Hall slowly opened, and a Hall Guard Knight stepped forward, "Chrysanthemum Ghost Elder, Elder Chu Qin, Lady Hulena, Her Majesty the Pope permits the four of you to enter!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qin quickly exchanged a few words with Zi Ji and the others and led Hulena and the other two into the Pope Hall.
In the empty Pope Hall, Bi Bidong sat alone, appearing so indifferent until she noticed the figure of Chu Qin and a faint smile secretly crossed her face.
"We pay our respects to Your Majesty the Pope!"
"We greet the teacher!"
Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, Hulena, and the others saluted. Chu Qin also bent over in a symbolic gesture.
```
"Elder Chu Qin, there's no need for formalities!"
Bi Bidong said symbolically.
"During this time, Elder Chu Qin, where have you been?" Bi Bidong asked, "I've been unable to find you anywhere."
One could distinctly hear that Bi Bidong's words carried no emotions, yet Chu Qin could detect the underlying bitterness.
"I went to Slaughter City!" Chu Qin replied with a smile, "Incidentally, I have brought back the Pope's apprentice, Hulena!"
"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Bi Bidong's gaze shifted to Hulena. "Liena, have you obtained the Killing God Field?"
"Yes, Teacher!" Hulena nodded. "I owe it all to Elder Chu Qin, who took me to complete the trials of Slaughter City in advance!"
"It seems you've been quite lucky!"
Bi Bidong looked at Hulena and smiled faintly.
"Previously, because you did not win the championship of the Senior Soul Master Elite Competition, I punished you by sending you to Slaughter City, Liena. Do you have any complaints?" Bi Bidong added.
"No, Teacher, I have none!" Hulena spoke sincerely. Bi Bidong had been too good to her, too good. Had it not been for Bi Bidong, she and Evil Moon would have been torn apart long ago. Afterwards, Bi Bidong's treatment of her could only be described as if she was her own daughter. How could she dare to complain about Bi Bidong!
"Hmm!" Bi Bidong nodded lightly, "Then, Na'er, you haven't returned to the Martial Soul Hall for a long time, so go down and rest first. Elder Chu Qin and I have some matters to discuss!"
"Yes!" Hulena nodded and gave Chu Qin a glance before bowing and retreating.
"You all may withdraw as well!" Bi Bidong turned and said to Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo.
"Yes!"
Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo and Hulena left, and the doors of the Pope Hall closed tightly right after.
Chu Qin's lips curved into a small smile as he quickly approached Bi Bidong, wanting to hold her in his arms!
However, she outright avoided him!
"Dong'er, you..." Chu Qin raised an eyebrow slightly and spoke.
"You've taken many more women too, living quite the comfortable life!" Bi Bidong said to Chu Qin with a touch of melancholy.
"Ah, Dong'er," Chu Qin, seeing her jealousy, replied with a smile, "I had no choice at all!"
"No choice? Who else can control you?" Bi Bidong said with a hint of irritation.
Chu Qin smiled indifferently and walked beside Bi Bidong, looking into her eyes, "I also need to become stronger. Otherwise, how could I help you kill Tang Chen and destroy the Hao Tian Clan?"
"Chu Qin, you want to kill Tang Chen?" Bi Bidong was clearly surprised, her beautiful eyes widening.
Chu Qin did not answer immediately, instead he took a blood-red arm bone from the Soul Guidance Container.
"Chu Qin, what is this?" Bi Bidong asked with a slight frown.
"It comes from Tang Chen's arm," Chu Qin replied with a light smile.
"What!" Bi Bidong exclaimed softly, "Tang Chen? You killed Tang Chen?"
"Hmm!" Chu Qin nodded, "In fact, I have already crossed hands with Tang Chen. Although he managed to escape by chance, I cut off his two wings and one arm and obtained his Divine Artifact! Tang Chen is no longer a threat now!"
"Really?" Hearing this, even the normally composed Bi Bidong was greatly moved!
"Hmm!" Chu Qin affirmed, "When have I ever deceived you? Besides, I already know you want to destroy the Hao Tian Clan, and this small matter doesn't require the consent of the Elders of Soul Hall. I can do it for you on my own!"
