Chapter 61 Zhongli Ren's Snowy Night Talk
"I understand. However, I'm more concerned about something else."
Zhong Li shook his head, seemingly lost in thought.
"Oh? I wonder what could be so important to you, my brother?"
"The Spirit Hall may have already undergone a major upheaval."
"Zhong Li said. Qian Renxue's expression changed immediately, and her pupils contracted slightly.
"You mean the new Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall? Did you see her during the tournament?"
Qian Renxue seemed to know something, her face darkening as she asked.
"Yes. That woman is probably more terrifying than you imagine. She is not someone you can handle. If I'm not mistaken, the Pope of the Spirit Hall has likely already been taken into custody."
Zhong Li sighed softly and said.
"What? Impossible."
Qian Renxue couldn't help but exclaim, her voice filled with disbelief and disbelief.
"While I also have no liking for that female Pope, you might not know her strength. If I'm not mistaken, she should have already reached the pinnacle of Title Douluo, a level 99 Peerless Douluo. How could someone like that be controlled by anyone? She let Tang Hao go for her own reasons, it's definitely not because she was no match for him!"
"Moreover, someone of her stature has such a strong will; how could she possibly be easily swayed by others?"
Qian Renxue herself didn't realize that her tone had become somewhat agitated.
Zhong Li sighed softly, shook his head, and said meaningfully, "Do you really think she's a person with a very strong will?"
"Although she is my enemy, I don't think there's anything to question about that."
Qian Renxue answered without hesitation.
"So, have you heard of Yu Xiaogang and his connection to His Holiness the Pope?"
Zhong Li considered for a moment, then looked at Qian Renxue and asked.
In an instant, Qian Renxue's expression turned rather unpleasant.
How could she not know about Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang's affair? Within the Spirit Hall, this was an open secret and a taboo.
Regardless, as a daughter, it's inevitable that she'd feel some resentment towards her biological mother for not loving her own father and instead deeply loving another man. Moreover, if Yu Xiaogang were truly a peerless hero, it wouldn't matter, but he's just trash she wouldn't even deign to give a second glance. She's never understood what kind of bewitching potion that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang had given that woman, making her infatuated with him for so long.
Ha. If it weren't for Yu Xiaogang, that woman wouldn't have tried to kill me with her own hands so many times.
A bitter feeling flashed through Qian Renxue's heart.
"I know a little about him. That man named Yu Xiaogang was probably His Holiness the Pope's lover when he was young, and the Pope has never forgotten him. However, although Yu Xiaogang comes from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and is the direct son of the sect leader, he has no skills whatsoever and is a complete waste."
Qian Renxue's voice carried a hint of disdain and resentment as she spoke.
"To be honest, I've never really understood it. The Pope of the Spirit Hall, what kind of person is she? How could she be so devoted to a man like that? What kind of master of spirit theory is he? Countless of his so-called achievements are plagiarized from the Spirit Hall. After all these years, hasn't she, as the Pope, seen through him?"
Qian Renxue sighed and said softly.
"That's why I asked you. Is the Pope of the Spirit Hall truly a person with a very resolute and strong will? If that's really the case, how could she have been so easily deceived by such a useless, all-encompassing person, remaining attached to him for so many years, even going so far as to deceive herself?"
Zhong Li sighed softly and asked in return.
For a moment, Qian Renxue felt speechless. She wanted to refute Zhong Li, but no matter what she did, she couldn't seem to find any compelling reasons to refute him.
Is it possible that the woman, inside, wasn't as strong or superior as she seemed? On the contrary, she was just a pitiful woman shrouded in the aura of the Pope, obsessed with an illusory relationship, deceiving herself?
At that moment, she felt as if something inside her had shattered. She even felt that it was somewhat ridiculous that she had been arguing with this woman for so long.
"If, if the Pope is indeed controlled by treacherous individuals, then things become serious. The Spirit Hall is indeed not entirely the Pope's personal fiefdom; however, the Pope's authority is growing day by day, while the influence of the Hall of Worship is slowly fading. The Grand Elder is appearing less and less frequently."
Qian Renxue's eyes were filled with solemnity as she murmured.
"Furthermore, I'm almost certain that the new Holy Maiden who emerged from the Spirit Hall is a wicked person. I met her once, and she gave me a very uncomfortable feeling. This person's control of the Spirit Hall is likely for ulterior motives!"
The more Qian Renxue spoke, the uglier her expression became.
Of course, she couldn't tell Zhong Li that her martial soul wasn't a swan, but a six-winged angel. A six-winged angel martial soul has an extremely strong and obvious sensitivity to any evil presence. And when she saw that woman, the feeling her six-winged angel martial soul evoked wasn't even disgust, but rather a warning!
The six-winged angel is no ordinary martial soul. It's a "god"! A god who truly once existed in this world. Its status is far superior to anything like the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Clear Sky Hammer, or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. The swan is even more worlds below.
Could the woman who could trigger an alarm from a "god" possess the power of an evil god? An evil god controlling the Spirit Hall. Just thinking about such a thing sent chills down her spine, even though she was an inheritor of the angelic lineage.
Qian Renxue's ideal, of course, is to make the Spirit Hall rise to power and even unify the continent in the future. However, before that, maintaining the safety of this world is her most basic belief and mission. The Spirit Hall, and the Angel lineage, originally rose to power by fighting against the evil forces that once ran rampant on the continent in ancient times.
In fact, even now, the Spirit Hall continues to fulfill its mission of purifying the entire continent. Otherwise, those fallen beings wouldn't all be obediently hiding in the Slaughter City; they would have already overrun the entire continent.
If the Spirit Hall were to fall under the control of truly evil and corrupt forces, it would not only be a desecration of the glory of the Angel God, but would also bring unimaginable disaster to the entire continent. Such a thing was something she absolutely did not want to imagine.
At this moment, she was in a state of utter confusion, and for a fleeting instant, she even wanted to immediately end her mission of infiltrating Tian Dou City and return to the Spirit Hall.
After all, she gave up her prime years to come here and pretend to be a man, partly out of spite towards that woman.
Being able to control the Heaven Dou Empire is certainly important, but not that important. What kind of existence is she? What kind of qualifications does she possess?
Her grandfather had long ago earnestly advised her that she had the potential to reach the final stage. Staying in the Spirit Hall to cultivate peacefully would actually benefit the Spirit Hall's future more. If she truly became that kind of being, let alone becoming the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire herself; even if she wanted to replace the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire with a beggar on the street, who would dare utter a single word of dissent?
