Chapter 32 A Single Spark Can Start a Prairie Fire
"Your Holiness the Pope, you are awake!"
"His Holiness the Pope has awakened!"
Bibi Dong's voice was very weak as she looked at everyone, "What's wrong with you all...?"
"Your Holiness, don't you remember what happened?"
"You fell into a coma after returning yesterday. We want to know what happened to you outside?"
"Was it those forces that assassinated His Holiness the Pope, or did they encounter some extraordinary soul beast?"
Upon hearing everyone's questions, Bibi Dong suddenly recalled what had happened that day in the City of Slaughter.
Like the King of Slaughter, fear appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes when she thought of that day.
She was absolutely certain that the guy wasn't human, absolutely not!
"Stop arguing, you all go out first."
As soon as Qian Daoliu spoke, the higher-ups immediately shut their mouths.
Although Qian Daoliu has never had much of a presence, everyone with eyes can see that he is the true ruler of the Spirit Hall.
Even the Pope could not go against his will.
Once only Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong remained in the room, Qian Daoliu said, "Pope, please speak."
Bibi Dong wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, her lips trembling.
It's hard to imagine that this was once the arrogant Pope Bibi Dong.
Qian Daoliu became even more curious. He knew Bibi Dong's character well, and logically speaking, such an expression would never appear on her face.
"Given your strength, even if you were besieged by a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, you shouldn't be in this state."
"No, no... it's not a 100,000-year-old soul beast."
Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes. "Yue Guan reported to me that you went to the City of Slaughter. I am very curious, given the strength of the King of Slaughter, how could you do this? You should know that you are the God of Slaughter in the City of Slaughter."
Since it wasn't because of a soul beast, it must have happened in the City of Slaughter.
"No, not the King of Slaughter, no, no..."
Qian Daoliu snorted coldly, "What exactly happened that makes you so afraid?"
The scene from that day was still vivid in her mind. Bibi Dong swallowed hard. "Great Elder... are you confident you can kill the King of Slaughter in one move?"
"Although I claim to be invincible in the sky, the King of Slaughter is no ordinary person. I cannot defeat him in one move," Qian Daoliu said.
Hearing this, Bibi Dong felt even more desperate.
Qian Daoliu's answer means that even as a level 99 person, he cannot reach the power of Kuiba.
For a moment, Bibi Dong didn't even know whether she should tell Qian Daoliu about it.
"Then tell me, are there any strange soul beasts in Douluo Continent that can kill the King of Slaughter in one move?" Bibi Dong asked again.
"A bizarre soul beast? Killed in one move?" Qian Daoliu's face darkened, and he said, "No, absolutely not."
He himself is the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent, with soul power at the demigod level.
He couldn't even instantly kill the King of Slaughter, let alone some so-called soul beasts.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Seeing Bibi Dong fall into fear and deep thought again, Qian Daoliu frowned: "Tell me, what exactly happened!"
Hearing the reprimand, Bibi Dong slowly came to her senses and then recounted the whole story.
During that time, Qian Daoliu experienced an incredibly exciting moment.
How can someone defeat a Soul Master without having Soul Power?
A six-year-old child, yet possesses the power to instantly kill her and the King of Slaughter?
It can also summon monsters that can destroy the world?
"That's how it happened. I only escaped by sheer luck," Bibi Dong said, still shaken.
Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment, "Are you hallucinating? I haven't heard of any changes in the City of Slaughter during this time. The King of Slaughter is still alive and well. He's been very flamboyant lately, recruiting soldiers on a large scale."
"How could this happen..."
Bibi Dong was stunned. Given Kuiba's state at the time, how could he possibly let the King of Slaughter go?
Moreover, she remembered clearly that the Killing Capital was almost completely destroyed by Kuiba, so how could there be no change at all?
This is a problem of information asymmetry. Rakshasa God finished off the Kuiba, but he hadn't told Bibi Dong about it yet.
Qian Daoliu said coldly, "Where in the world is there such a powerful person? If you said he was some reclusive expert who was hundreds of years old, I might believe you for a moment. But where would a six-year-old child get such strength?"
"But I'm telling the truth. You can check it if you don't believe me."
"Hmph, I already knew about that brat. Now, let me ask you, if he possessed the power to destroy the world, why did he flee all the way back then and eventually hide in the City of Slaughter?" Qian Daoliu asked.
Bibi Dong's face was grim. "I don't know either. At that time, I was pressing him step by step, and he seemed to suddenly unleash some kind of power and summon a monster. That monster was more powerful than any soul beast I had ever seen."
"Bibi Dong, are you sure you're not hallucinating?"
"Could the injuries on my body be fake? If the High Priest doesn't believe me, he can send someone to the City of Slaughter to investigate!"
Qian Daoliu said, "I will send people to investigate. For the next six months, I will act as the acting pope."
"I have no objection."
Bibi Dong was aware of her own condition; she was certainly incapable of managing the Spirit Hall at the moment.

The Star Luo Empire, Imperial Palace.
Early this morning, the eldest prince, Davis, was summoned to the palace by the emperor.
In the study, Emperor Dai Tianfeng of Xingluo flew into a rage and berated Davis mercilessly.
"Damn it! Didn't you say Kuiba was dead? Why are so many people joining the Killing City now?!"
"Do you know that there are rumors circulating outside that Kuiba is immortal and was sent by heaven to end the chaos?"
"He's working for the King of Slaughter now, do you know what that means?!"
Davis kept his head down and remained silent.
Dai Tianfeng was furious just looking at him, so he kicked him to the ground and cursed, "With the help of Kuiba, the King of Slaughter will soon establish the third empire of Douluo Continent!"
"You unfilial son! Look at the mess you've made! Now what should we do? You must come up with a solution for me!"
During this period, by using the name of Kuiba, the King of Slaughter has won over tens of thousands of civilians.
These commoners all came from the two great empires and some sects.
At this rate, the King of Slaughter will soon establish a Slaughter Empire!
Davis sighed and knelt respectfully: "Father, I never expected that Kuiba would not have died in the City of Slaughter, and that he would have even gained the appreciation of the King of Slaughter."
"I initially thought he was doomed, so I found a scapegoat to settle the matter, but I never expected..."
"Hindsight is 20/20! I ask you, what should we do now? The King of Slaughter was already ambitious and difficult to deal with, and now that he has the help of Kuiba, we have already lost a lot of popular support!"
This situation is actually quite normal.
On one side is a feudal empire that doesn't treat ordinary people as human beings, and on the other side is a killing capital that treats ordinary people well and acts on behalf of Heaven.
Anyone who isn't a fool should know how to make a choice.
Dai Tianfeng wasn't just being overly pessimistic; after all, a single spark can start a prairie fire.
