Spirit City.
In a stunning cathedral, in a secret chamber—
A golden-haired girl sat cross-legged, her beautiful features bare, posture proud. Qian Renxue's two holy wings unfurled behind her, golden light shrouding her with elegance and nobility.
"Ka-chak."
The secret chamber door opened.
Qian Renxue's cultivation aura faded—she opened her eyes coldly, staring at the figure walking in.
"What do you want?"
"I'm your mother—don't I have a right to see my daughter?"
Bibi Dong smiled gently.
"Disgusting!"
Qian Renxue sneered.
"All that pretense… when I treasured your affection, you trampled it. Now you want to fix things when I don't need you—"
"Why do I cherish family love? Because I have no father!
My father was killed. If he'd lived, I wouldn't have suffered all this."
Bibi Dong's face grew harsh, her temper fraying.
"Don't ntion that man!
Do you know what he did?! Why I hate him?! You don't—don't judge !"
"I'm guessing. So you killed him. Fair enough.
But you killed him—you should pay with your own life…"
"You—!"
Bibi Dong's anger erupted.
"Spare your victim act. I know the elders' badge ended up with so famous trash. Shows how important your old lover was to you."
Qian Renxue laughed contemptuously.
"Shut up!!"
Bibi Dong's Douluo aura filled the chamber. She seized Qian Renxue's neck, killing intent blazing. Her purple, venomous nails pierced the skin.
"See? That old liar is your real sore spot. Everyone else—even , your master, or Spirit Hall itself—ans less to you."
"I am just your stain. A pain you'll never forget…"
Qian Renxue stared her down. Blood trickled from her throat, but she laughed.
"Now I get it. You truly loathe . You want dead, so you and your lover can et again."
"But why don't you just kill ?"
"Is it Grandfather? You still need his support? One day when you're strong enough, you'll cast aside the elders and destroy the Angel line—but for now, you need them…"
"Family ties? You just hate Su Lin. He shad Yu Xiaogang and exposed your dirty laundry. You want to kill him, but you can't, so you try to turn against him—to feel a twisted bit of pleasure."
"..."
It grew dangerously quiet.
Bibi Dong's rage reached its peak, her claw tightening.
Qian Renxue, though, t her gaze defiantly.
"Kill , then!
If you do, all your sacrifices, all your plotting will be for nothing. Forget inheriting Spirit Hall with your lover…"
In that mont, Qian Renxue's eyes held a desperate madness.
"Aaaaahh!!!"
Purple mist poured from Bibi Dong's lower body, turning into venomous spider legs, stabbing at Qian Renxue's angelic wings.
"Crack—!"
Qian Renxue scread as sharp pain lanced through her. But then—
"It's you! Su Lin! How are you—"
A white figure had appeared, calm and handso, clutching Bibi Dong's spider leg and snapping it off with ease. The corroding venom sizzled on the ground, but his hands remained spotless—her poison far weaker than Dugu Bo's old Green Phosphor at his peak, yet nothing before Su Wen.
"There was no need to rush. I was coming anyway…"
Ignoring Bibi Dong's terror, Su Wen sighed, turning to Qian Renxue.
"Wuwu…"
"Why were you so late…"
The proud Qian Renxue collapsed into his embrace, sobbing like rain—belittled and betrayed by her mother, years of pain overwhelming her.
Su Wen wrapped his arms around her waist, gently patting her back.
"It's okay. I'm here."
"Mmm."
After a long ti, she quieted.
Su Wen's cold gaze then swept toward Bibi Dong as she tried to sneak away.
"I warned you last ti…"
"..."
"Boom!"
On the top level of Spirit City's cathedral, glittering glass shattered with a crash. In the stillness, all eyes turned—they saw soone hurled from the cathedral.
"Don't kill !"
Bibi Dong appeared in the air, hair wild, face pale, shouting back inside.
"If you kill , she won't—"
"PFFT!"
She was instantly battered again, body bent like a shrimp, coughing blood after another invisible punch from the white-robed man inside.
An invisible ripple lingered in the air.
"Your Majesty!!"
A black-armored man bellowed, charging toward the sky.
Daring to assault the Pope in Spirit City itself—did he want to die?!
But in the next instant—
"BOOM!"
The man exploded into ash, blood misting the air.
All other would-be rescuers were frozen with fear.
