Led by Ghost Douluo and the others, Bibi Dong's group finally arrived at the legendary Feng Ran Pavilion.
But the moment they reached the entrance—
Their steps froze.
Because from the opposite end of the street, another group arrived at the same time.
At its head stood a robust, sharp-eyed old man—
Gold Crocodile Douluo, dispatched by Qian Daoliu to uncover the truth behind Feng Ran Pavilion.
Following him were Azure Luan Douluo, Light Feather Douluo, and the newly "enlightened" Demon Subduing Douluo.
In an instant—
The two most powerful factions in the entire Spirit Hall, high above all authority, met again in front of this unremarkable little restaurant.
The air instantly solidified.
No spirit power exploded.
No earth-shaking aura erupted.
Yet a terrifying, invisible confrontation twisted the very light at the entrance as two mighty wills crashed silently.
Space itself trembled.
Just as the pressure was about to tear the doorway apart—
Creak—
The wooden door opened from within.
Hu Liena stepped out.
Her gaze swept across the scene, and when her eyes landed on the exquisite figure standing at the front of the opposing group…
Her heart stopped.
Her breath froze.
Her voice trembled uncontrollably.
"Tea… teacher?"
That soft, instinctive call dropped into the silent standoff like a needle piercing glass.
Gold Crocodile Douluo's pressure halted.
Bibi Dong's divine sense paused.
Every gaze focused on Hu Liena in unison.
And then—
Deathly stillness.
Bibi Dong's crimson pupils—filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood—sharply contracted.
Her eyes locked onto Hu Liena.
No.
Not her.
Her clothing.
That black-and-red outfit.
A uniform she had never seen.
A uniform that did not belong to the Spirit Hall.
A uniform that clearly belonged to—
A waiter.
BOOM!!!
A terrifying chill surged out of Bibi Dong's body.
She said nothing.
But the air around her instantly plummeted to freezing.
Purple-black Rakshasa energy hissed at her feet like venomous serpents.
The pontiff's scepter in her hand groaned from the pressure.
Her disciple…
Her personally groomed successor…
The future Holy Maiden she prepared to inherit her will…
Now dressed like a servant.
Greeting guests.
Outside this ridiculous restaurant?!
This wasn't provocation.
This was blasphemy.
A stomp on her authority.
A slap across the face of the entire Supreme Pontiff Palace.
And what made her heart freeze even further—
Hu Liena's reaction.
After the initial shock, her panic lasted less than a second.
Then her emotions dissipated completely.
Her back straightened.
Her fox-like eyes regained a calm, sacred tranquility Bibi Dong had never seen before.
As if behind her stood not a small shop…
But a divine realm that allowed her to stand against the world.
Hu Liena even smiled faintly.
That same aloof, compassionate smile she had shown Ghost Douluo earlier—
The smile of a divine apostle greeting lowly mortals.
She bowed slightly toward Bibi Dong.
Her voice was calm, polite… and distant.
"Your Holiness, please refrain from causing a disturbance."
"If you wish to dine, you may enter."
Then she turned to the worshipers on the opposite side.
"Sirs, do not block the entrance. Please come in."
Her tone was neither humble nor arrogant—
Exactly the tone one would use when receiving ordinary pilgrims in a shrine.
Inside Feng Ran Pavilion
Zhu Zhuyun's hands paused for half a second as she massaged Lin Feng's shoulders.
Internally, she clicked her tongue.
Of all times, now?
She had just secured her first victory in this silent war for divine favor.
And these people barged in without a hint of awareness?!
Then Hu Liena said the newcomer was her teacher.
Zhu Zhuyun's lips curled coldly.
Heh.
Anyone who raised such a seductive fox probably wasn't impressive.
But then—
The woman enveloped in endless purple energy stepped inside.
With that breathtaking face.
That papal robe symbolizing supreme authority.
That legendary aura all female Spirit Masters worshipped—
Bibi Dong.
Zhu Zhuyun's entire body froze.
Her mind went blank.
The fox's teacher…
Was actually the Pope herself?!
Bibi Dong.
A name representing the highest pinnacle a woman could dream of.
Yet now—
This pinnacle stood behind her rival?
A wave of revulsion surged up Zhu Zhuyun's chest.
She thought this was a private contest between her and Hu Liena.
But behind Hu Liena…
Stood the queen of the human world.
Her path had suddenly become infinitely harder.
But—
She was Zhu Zhuyun.
A woman who climbed through the bloody grinder of the Zhu Clan.
She froze for only a single breath.
Then every trace of shock and fear burned away—
Leaving behind a blazing, ferocious fighting spirit.
Pope?
So what?
In the elder's divine realm, worldly authority meant nothing.
Even Bibi Dong was just a mortal approaching divinity, hoping to receive a blessing.
But she, Zhu Zhuyun—
Already served the divine being personally.
Already answered the call.
Her eyes sharpened.
Her hands moved more diligently, almost reverently.
Just a Pope?
Let her watch clearly.
So what if you're Bibi Dong?
You cannot stop my rise!
Bibi Dong's Gaze
The moment she stepped in, Bibi Dong's eyes locked onto the man who hadn't spared her a single glance.
A frigid smile curved on her lips.
So this was the so-called "divine" figure.
Laughable.
She had undergone the Rakshasa God trials.
One foot had already crossed the divine threshold.
She understood better than anyone—
True gods were bound by rules.
They could not descend so easily.
This man had astonishing methods—
Even she felt a hint of admiration.
But that was all.
She was not here to worship a false god.
She was here to take this power for her own.
This continent only needed one deity.
Her.
Before anything else—
She needed to test his true limits.
A wisp of purple-black divine sense silently peeled away from her gaze.
It wasn't spirit power.
It wasn't mental force.
It was pure Rakshasa Divine Will.
Silent.
Invisible.
Undetectable.
And it drifted—
Straight toward Lin Feng.
