However, Bibi Dong's question this time was very clever.
She didn't directly ask the heavenly curtain if Spirit Hall had an inside traitor.
Instead, she asked the heavenly curtain to directly identify the traitor.
This effectively saved her a question.
After all, if there was no inside traitor,
the heavenly curtain wouldn't find anyone.
If it did find someone,
there would be no need to ask the first question.
Bibi Dong's calculation was excellent.
And seeing her question like this,
the expressions on the faces of the Douluo Continent's onlookers couldn't help but become even more interesting.
"An inside traitor?"
"Why would Bibi Dong ask about this...? How could Spirit Hall have an inside traitor?"
Hearing her say this,
many onlookers naturally felt surprised.
"No, isn't it normal to ask about an inside traitor? Have you all forgotten the scenes that appeared when the heavenly curtain first showed its preview?"
However, more people thought this question was only natural.
"In the end, Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong perished at Jialing Pass, didn't she?"
"With her strength, combined with Spirit Hall's top combat power, if there weren't an inside traitor, how could they have suffered such a miserable defeat?"
As for the heavenly curtain, the answer it gave was even simpler.
After she finished her question,
a line of small text immediately appeared, reminding Bibi Dong.
...
"[This question involves many individuals, and the heavenly curtain is currently organizing them. Please, lucky audience, wait patiently...]
...
A simple phrase, "involves many individuals,"
made everyone present feel their hearts race.
They even subtly sensed a premonition of an impending storm.
If even the common onlookers felt this way,
Bibi Dong naturally felt it even more.
Looking at the affirmative answer given by the heavenly curtain,
a cold light flickered in her eyes.
"Indeed, to defend against external threats, one must first pacify internal ones..."
"Ultimately, one's own people are the most reliable."
Bibi Dong murmured, her face filled with wistful emotion.
Her resolve to cleanse Spirit Hall and firmly grasp power in her own hands grew stronger.
After saying this,
she immediately turned her head, casting her gaze towards the Elder Palace where Qian Daoliu and others were located.
It was clear that she considered the inside traitors mentioned by the heavenly curtain to be Qian Daoliu and his group.
She believed they were obstructing Spirit Hall's grand ambition of unifying the continent.
If even she thought this way,
there was no need to mention others.
This time, before her words even fell,
Hu Liena and others had already begun to volunteer their services.
"That's right, to defend against external threats, one must first pacify internal ones! Master, let us handle the matter of clearing out the inside traitors later."
"We will definitely handle it beautifully for you."
Seeing the expressions of shared animosity on Hu Liena's face and the others,
and recalling their impressive achievement of successfully bringing the Immortal Herbs and Poison Douluo out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well previously,
Bibi Dong nodded with satisfaction.
She looked up and naturally posed her second question.
That was to have the heavenly curtain reveal the list of inside traitors.
As she spoke, her eyes were cold.
She had clearly moved to kill.
It wasn't just her.
Hu Liena and others standing below the Supreme Pontiff's throne also had similar reactions.
Feeling the killing intent released by everyone,
it was no exaggeration to say that the entire Spirit Hall began to tremble.
Even Qian Daoliu in the Elder Palace began to feel uneasy.
He worried that the last layer of separation between Bibi Dong and the Elder Palace would be broken,
and both sides would completely turn against each other.
And just when everyone felt an impending storm,
the next moment,
after everyone clearly saw the heavenly curtain's response,
everyone present was stunned once again.
Because this time, the number one inside traitor of Spirit Hall, as stated by the heavenly curtain, was none other than
the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, Hu Liena!
Good news: The inside traitor has been found!
Bad news: Bibi Dong's trusted aides are all inside traitors.
Upon seeing this scene,
the entire Douluo Continent erupted in an uproar.
"This... how is this possible?"
"The heavenly curtain couldn't have made a mistake, could it? How could I betray Spirit Hall?"
"That's right, Master, please see clearly, anyone else might betray Spirit Hall! But I absolutely cannot!"
Hu Liena herself, who had just been full of ambition, was even more dumbfounded.
Her pretty face instantly turned pale.
She immediately knelt on the ground and began to explain to Bibi Dong, her voice filled with sorrow.
Seeing her mournful appearance,
many Spirit Masters in Spirit Hall began to waver.
They started to doubt the authenticity of the answer given by the heavenly curtain.
Not just them, even within Shrek Academy,
Ning Rongrong had a similar reaction.
Currently, looking at Hu Liena crying on the heavenly curtain, she felt that the emotions Hu Liena displayed this time were not fake, but truly came from her heart.
"Could this heavenly curtain... really have made a mistake?"
"Yes, just as Hu Liena herself said, she was raised by Spirit Hall since childhood, and has always been personally taught by Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong. It's no exaggeration to say she's closer than a biological daughter.
Under such circumstances, for her to betray Spirit Hall... what would she gain? It's really..."
Zhu Zhuqing also analyzed it rationally from the side.
However, before the two girls could say anything more,
Tang Hao spoke, offering a completely opposite view.
"I don't necessarily think so."
"She's not the only one who was raised by Spirit Hall since childhood and personally taught by the Supreme Pontiff."
"Didn't someone else almost betray Spirit Hall?"
"Are you talking about... Bibi Dong herself?"
Hearing her say this,
many people also reacted.
The expressions on their faces became complicated.
Zhu Zhuqing fell silent in response.
Ning Rongrong, however, took the opportunity to speak up again, arguing on Hu Liena's behalf, saying,
"This isn't the same, is it?"
"That's right, Bibi Dong back then was misled by a scumbag, okay? This Hu Liena hasn't encountered any scumbags, has she?"
As soon as this sentence came out,
it actually did nothing to change people's perception of Hu Liena.
But someone in the arena still changed their expression because of it.
And this person was none other than Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang.
As for the reason, it was simple.
Because Grandmaster, this time, was once again caught in the crossfire while doing nothing.
What does it mean to be misled by a scumbag?
This matter keeps going around and around, and how did it end up back on my head?
Yu Xiaogang's face was full of gloom.
He felt a headache from being inexplicably affected again.
While he was still able to feel a headache about his own misfortune,
within Spirit Hall.
"Good, good, what a personal disciple."
"Chrysanthemum Douluo!"
Bibi Dong's willow brows furrowed with anger, having truly become enraged.
After all, ever since the matter with Yu Xiaogang ended, what she hated most was being betrayed.
Not to mention, this time, the one who betrayed her was a disciple she had personally taught.
So, in her fury this time,
she slammed the table and immediately gave the order.
"Immediately seize Hu Liena for me!"
"Supreme Pontiff..." Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression also changed upon hearing this.
Bibi Dong turned her head, her eyes cold.
"What, even you won't listen to me? Could it be that you are also an inside traitor?"
"Yue Guan would not dare."
Chrysanthemum Douluo knelt.
Seeing Bibi Dong so enraged,
the words of intercession that had reached his lips could only be swallowed back down.
He had intended to take Hu Liena away first and then intercede for her later.
However, he didn't expect that in the next moment, light flowed on the heavenly curtain.
And a new face appeared on it.
