Chapter 17: Then Kill HimUnder Bibi Dong's silence, the atmosphere in the Supreme Pontiff Palace became exceptionally tense.Chu Feng saw the so-called "Grand Elder" before him; her purple eyes were already slightly narrowed, appearing extremely dissatisfied with Bibi Dong's reaction."Bibi Dong, you are unwilling to say?"The Grand Elder's voice turned icy. In that instant, the Supreme Pontiff Palace seemed to transform into an extremely cold ice cave.What is going on?Chu Feng looked at Bibi Dong, then at this Grand Elder, completely unable to figure out what kind of play was being performed right now.Not to mention the matter of a Grand Elder of Spirit Hall appearing out of thin air.In his memory, didn't the Elders of Spirit Hall always take orders from His Holiness the Pope? Why was this Grand Elder acting so aggressive?"Teacher..."Seeing the atmosphere becoming tense and ready to explode, Hu Liena quickly looked at Bibi Dong and called out softly.In fact, the real reason Bibi Dong refused to answer for so long was not because she couldn't trust the other party.It was just that she herself was unwilling to admit it, wanting to find an excuse for the small, selfish desire deep within her.Her hesitation at this moment was the exact opposite of distrust.Bibi Dong trusted the identity this woman before her claimed—a "former friend of Teacher"—and it was precisely this identity that made her heart feel incomparably conflicted.Before this woman came to Spirit City, she had only heard the story of Teacher and another woman, that being the legendary Sea God Douluo—Bo Saixi.However, that story had long since reached its conclusion.Two people with different stances had ultimately gone their separate ways.But as for this woman before her, Bibi Dong had never heard Teacher mention her, and their relationship was limited to what the other party called a "friend."But was it really just a "friend"? Bibi Dong did not believe it.Relying on a woman's intuition, she sensed an emotion from the other party that far exceeded that of a "friend."Therefore, Bibi Dong did not want Chu Feng's identity to be known by the woman before her.In her heart, this was a secret that only she knew.If she hid the fact that Chu Feng was Teacher from this woman, then Teacher could belong only to her alone..."Not..."After a long while, Bibi Dong spat out two words.She ultimately succumbed to her selfish desire and gave this answer.But clearly, because she had hesitated for too long, this answer appeared to have no persuasiveness.The silver-haired woman's purple eyes swept over Bibi Dong, carrying a hint of coldness.Immediately, she looked at Chu Feng and said calmly: "Since you say it is not, then kill him.""!!?"Once these words were spoken, Chu Feng was directly stunned.What is going on?It's one thing for you to be acting like riddle-makers for so long, but why are you suddenly trying to kill me?Amidst the confusion, Chu Feng immediately summoned his trump card—the peak strength experience card!A golden card appeared out of thin air in his palm, with a figure holding the sun and moon depicted on it.This card was a reward previously given to Chu Feng by the System, capable of allowing him to possess the Peak strength from the simulation for a short period of time.Chu Feng was ready to crush the card at any moment.But the next second, Bibi Dong's angry shout came."You dare!?"Following that, one spirit ring after another began to appear on Bibi Dong's body.Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red—a total of nine, and they were spirit rings that far exceeded the perfect configuration.Her figure flashed and disappeared, turning into an afterimage as she lunged forward.Eight spider spears had already grown from behind Bibi Dong at some unknown time, stabbing toward the silver-haired woman.Yet the silver-haired woman remained indifferent, as if this thunderous attack was insignificant to her.And the truth was indeed so.She simply extended her right hand, and Bibi Dong's spider spears seemed to have collided with an invisible wall, stopping just a few centimeters from her palm, unable to advance even an inch further."Overestimating yourself. Compared to your Teacher, you are still far behind."Hearing the word "Teacher," a change instantly appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes.She glanced at Chu Feng imperceptibly.Teacher was watching right from the side now...Even if Teacher didn't remember everything, she didn't want Teacher to see her looking defeated.The next second, purple light bloomed from Bibi Dong's body, and a pair of huge emerald curved scythes grew out from her back."Sixth Spirit Ability—Eternal Trauma!" Bibi Dong shouted delicately.In an instant, a cross-shaped green ripple shot out from that pair of curved scythes, heading toward the silver-haired woman's face.This sudden burst was clearly not anticipated by the silver-haired woman, and she was struck by Eternal Trauma without reservation."Crack—" The sound of shattering rang out.The mask on the silver-haired woman's face was cut open by Eternal Trauma, turning into fragments that fell off one by one."So that's how it is; no wonder he would take you as a student."The silver-haired woman's calm voice came out again; she was shrouded in a pale golden light barrier formed by spirit power.It was precisely this pale golden light barrier that had blocked the attack of Eternal Trauma.And beneath the mask, that stunningly beautiful face was revealed for the first time."You also have twin spirits."Her face showed no joy or anger, her curled eyelashes trembling slightly as she spoke, her purple eyes clear and transparent."However, it is still lacking. You do not yet have the power to truly protect him, just like now."Having said that, the long silver hair behind her began to dance without wind.A suffocating sense of oppression struck instantly, and a terrifying fluctuation of spirit power exploded in the Supreme Pontiff Palace, directly forcing Bibi Dong back.At the same time, outside the Supreme Pontiff Palace.Yue Guan suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking toward the direction of the Supreme Pontiff Palace, his eyes filled with shock."This spirit power is the Grand Elder! How could she erupt with such powerful spirit power inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace?"Beside him, a burst of black mist twisted into a human figure, and Gui Mei's form gradually appeared."Chrysanthemum Guan, what has happened?" he asked.Yue Guan shook his head."I don't know. His Holiness the Pope asked me to find you; I only met the Grand Elder outside the palace before I left.""Let's go, hurry over!"Without another word, Gui Mei turned into a black shadow and dashed toward the Supreme Pontiff Palace.On the other side, far away from the Supreme Pontiff Palace, there was another magnificent palace, which was the legendary Hall of Worship.Inside the grand hall, two figures were conversing.Suddenly, both of them seemed to sense something and raised their heads, looking toward the direction of the Supreme Pontiff Palace."This spirit power fluctuation... What has happened in the Supreme Pontiff Palace?"One of the blonde men, who looked to be in his forties, frowned."I don't know, but this spirit power belongs to that silver-haired woman."The other burly, black-haired man shook his head.The blonde man snorted coldly, revealing an expression of dissatisfaction."This Bibi Dong, as the Supreme Pontiff, cannot even manage the Elder Palace under her."Immediately, he looked at the black-haired man and added: "Golden Crocodile, you go watch over Xue'er; don't let her run around at a time like this."
