Chapter 14 The Death of Xunji
Chapter 14 The Death of Qian Xunji
Seeing his longtime brother break down in tears, a white-haired man burying his black-haired son.
Qian Daoliu felt increasingly distressed.
His sharp gaze fell on Yue Guan and the other two, and he said coldly, "Speak! What exactly happened? Who did it?"
"It's...it's Tang Hao!"
Yue Guan spoke haltingly, recounting the whole story in detail.
"Jinming is dead, the Pope is on his deathbed, why don't you all just die!"
The golden crocodile suddenly stood up, roaring with a ferocious expression.
Splat!
The pressure from the level 98 Super Douluo directly forced Yue Guan and the other two to the ground.
"I want you all to be buried with me!"
Enraged, Golden Crocodile was about to execute the three men.
"Golden Crocodile, calm down!" At this moment, Qian Daoliu reached out to stop Golden Crocodile.
Although Qian Daoliu was equally angry, he could distinguish right from wrong, understood the cause and effect, and knew that Yue Guan and the others had failed in their duty of protection, but their crime did not warrant death.
It's understandable that the golden crocodile was angry because his son had died.
However, we cannot execute three Title Douluos because of this; the Spirit Hall cannot afford to lose four Title Douluos at once.
Qian Daoliu continued in a deep voice, "The culprit is that so-called successor of the Haotian Sect—Tang Hao!"
Upon hearing this, the Golden Crocodile slowly regained his composure, though his expression remained grim. However, he ultimately withdrew his oppressive aura: "Considering the difficulty of your cultivation, I'll spare you for now. The three of you are on your own!"
"Thank you so much for sparing our lives, Second Elder!" Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Gui Bao hurriedly prostrated themselves in gratitude.
Jin'e had no desire to stay any longer and bowed to Qian Daoliu: "Grand Elder. I am tired, so I will take Ming'er back first."
"Alright," Qian Daoliu nodded, stepped forward and patted Jin E on the shoulder, "My condolences! I will give you an explanation regarding Jin Ming's matter. Let him be properly buried first; the Douluo Hall deserves a place for him!"
"Thank you, Great Offering!"
After Jin E finished speaking, amidst the bows of numerous worshippers and elders, he carried Jin Ming's body and slowly walked out of the Papal Palace. However, his once upright figure had become somewhat hunched, as if he had aged decades in an instant.
"I have only one thing to say."
Qian Daoliu surveyed everyone present with an imposing air, his expression stern and his command leaving no room for argument, "Keep everything you heard and saw today a secret! Go back and keep it buried in your hearts. Understand?"
"Yes! Great Master!"
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines and dared not be negligent in the slightest, responding respectfully.
"Let's disperse!" Qian Daoliu waved his hand.
"We take our leave!" After bowing, the worshippers and elders quickly left the main hall.
After everyone left, Qian Daoliu looked again at the three severely injured Yue Guan and his companions, and suddenly seemed somewhat disheartened: "You three, go back too, and take good care of your injuries!"
"Thank you, Great Offering!"
The three, including Yue Guan Gui Mei and Gui Bao, felt as if they had been granted a pardon and slowly left, supporting each other.
At last.
Only Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji remained in the vast papal hall.
One person was standing, and the other was lying down.
Then, Qian Daoliu used his soul power to lift Qian Xunji up, and with a flash, he returned to the magnificent papal bedroom behind the papal palace, where he placed him on the bed.
"Go! Bring me all the healing-type Soul Masters at the Soul Saint level or above in Wuhun City!" Qian Daoliu ordered the Holy Emperor Warriors guarding the palace as he entered.
Soon, a dozen healing-type Soul Masters, led by the Holy Emperor Warriors, arrived at the Pope's bedroom.
Five of them are at the Soul Douluo level, and the remaining dozen or so are at the Soul Saint level.
"grown ups!"
Led by five Soul Masters of the healing type, the group bowed to Qian Daoliu, who had his back to them.
They didn't recognize Qian Daoliu, but they knew that the person in front of them, who could stand in the Pope's bedroom, must have a much higher status than them.
"No need for formalities! Let's begin the treatment!" Qian Daoliu said calmly, without turning around.
Upon hearing this, more than a dozen healing-type Soul Masters simultaneously unleashed their healing Soul Skills.
Instantly, multicolored healing soul light lit up and fell upon Qian Xunji.
Qian Xunji's injuries visibly healed, after all, it was the work of more than ten healing-type Soul Masters.
Soon, Qian Xunji's injuries were completely healed.
However, the healing soul skills of the group were not immediately withdrawn.
Without Qian Daoliu's orders, they dared not stop the treatment and instead chose to continue outputting soul power.
After a long while, the dozen or so healing-type soul masters had exhausted all their soul power. They were all covered in sweat and very weak, clearly exhausted.
"My lord. His Holiness the Pope's physical injuries have healed, but... we are powerless to help with his mental injuries. He can only recover slowly through rest."
One of the most senior and powerful healing-type soul masters came before Qian Daoliu, bowed, and said...
"Hmm!" Qian Daoliu nodded calmly, simultaneously issuing a gag order, "No one is allowed to disclose the Pope's injuries! If even a single piece of information leaks out, you know the consequences!"
"We understand!"
All the healing-type Soul Masters present were elites of the Spirit Hall, and each one of them was shrewd and knew what to say and what not to say, and they all made guarantees.
"The Spirit Hall will remember your contributions, and someone will deliver the rewards to you afterwards."
Qian Daoliu is a person who clearly distinguishes between rewards and punishments.
"Serving the Spirit Hall and His Holiness the Pope is an honor for us; we dare not ask for any reward."
Many healing-type Soul Masters said.
"The Spirit Hall is fair in its rewards and punishments. Those who have made contributions will be rewarded. You should accept the rewards that are due to you," Qian Daoliu said.
"Thank you very much, sir!" The group bowed.
"Alright, you may all leave." Qian Daoliu waved his hand to signal.
"We'll take our leave!"
The group bowed their heads, slowly took a few steps back, and then turned and left.
Qian Daoliu gazed at the unconscious Qian Xunji and said softly, "Ji'er, don't worry, I will stand up for you. Tang Hao... he can't escape!"
After Qian Daoliu finished speaking, he thought of his granddaughter, Qian Renxue:
"Xiaoxue is still young. We can't let her know that her father is seriously injured, otherwise she might worry about it, and it wouldn't be good if it affected her mood."
Qian Daoliu thought for a moment and said, "I should go check on Xiaoxue first."
"You all, take good care of the Pope. There must be no mishaps, or I will hold you accountable!"
Qian Daoliu gave instructions to the palace maids and Holy Emperor warriors.
He slipped away from the Pope's bedroom.
…………
Inside the Temple of the Holy Maiden.
The moment Qian Daoliu left the Pope's bedroom.
Bibi Dong suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, and a glint of light flashed in her pale purple eyes.
A cruel, cold smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
She tried her best to conceal her presence and secretly made her way towards Qian Xunji's palace.
After a short while, Bibi Dong finally arrived in front of Qian Xunji.
He casually cast a soul power shield, enveloping himself and Qian Xunji within it.
Looking at Qian Xunji, who was unconscious on the bed.
Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with hatred, her beautiful face instantly turning into a hideous expression, her heart filled with madness, finally about to get what she wanted.
"I've waited too long for this moment. Qian Xunji, die!"
Bibi Dong pulled a gleaming blade from her soul tool and plunged it fiercely into Qian Xunji's heart, twisting the hilt with both hands several times.
Unconscious, Qian Xunji suffered a sudden and severe heart attack due to a nerve reflex, causing his body to tremble involuntarily and his entire face to contort instantly.
A dozen seconds later, Qian Xunji was completely lifeless. Bibi Dong pulled out her sharp blade, and blood gushed out instantly.
It splashed onto her face and body.
She was stunned for a moment, then staggered back a few steps, her heart suddenly filled with panic and fear. She could no longer hold the blade and let it fall to the ground.
But in an instant, Bibi Dong's heart was filled with and replaced by an extremely strong sense of vengeful pleasure.
Her eyes were red-rimmed, and her stunningly beautiful face was filled with extreme madness, hatred, and desire for revenge.
The next moment, Bibi Dong released her second martial soul, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor.
A hideous, giant spider suddenly appeared behind Bibi Dong.
The giant spider's abdomen was huge, like a sphere, and its body was covered with hairs like steel needles. Its ugly mouthparts dripped dark green saliva, and its eight legs were as sharp as knives, constantly swinging up and down.
"Martial Soul Possession!"
Bibi Dong let out a shout, and the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor Martial Soul directly attached itself to her body.
After the martial spirit possesses the body.
Bibi Dong's body was suddenly covered with purplish-black spider armor, and a spider head covered her head.
Its face was covered by a carapace, and two pairs of small spider eyes grew under its eyes.
Her long, straight, snow-white legs disappeared, transforming into a giant sphere.
Eight spider legs extended one by one from behind, swaying up and down incessantly. The spider legs were covered with green slime, which dripped onto the ground with a sizzling sound.
At this moment, Bibi Dong looked like an extremely terrifying and hideous giant poisonous spider.
Bibi Dong controlled her eight spider legs, raising them high before quickly bringing them down.
Puff puff puff--!
Eight spider legs plunged into Qian Xunji's body one after another.
The Devouring Spider King's Devouring attribute was activated instantly.
All of Qian Xunji's life force and soul power were continuously transmitted to Bibi Dong through her spider legs.
In no time.
Qian Xunji was completely devoured, not a single drop was left.
His body was nowhere to be found; only his clothes and two golden angelic leg bones remained on the bed.
Bibi Dong's aura was also constantly increasing.
