Watching Bibi Dong and the other two disappear at the entrance of the hall, Lin Xiao and the others' tense nerves slowly relaxed.
Ye Renxin breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of nervousness on his face. As a healing soul master, this was the first time he had experienced such a scene.
He looked at Lin Xiao and said in a deep voice:
"This Bibi Dong is truly unfathomable. She gives me the feeling that she is far more terrifying than Juewu Douluo and Ghost Douluo combined."
"Lin Xiao, if we had fought just now, we really wouldn't have been his match!
"If you want to plot against her, you must be extremely careful in the future."
Dugu Bo nodded in agreement.
"Yes! Even though I can currently fight against the combined forces of Yue Guan and Gui Mei, I still have no confidence against Bibi Dong."
He changed the subject and looked at Lin Xiao with some surprise.
"But you little monster are really brave. You can handle such a situation with ease."
"You can even control the dignified Pope of the Spirit Hall. This really broadens my horizons."
Lin Xiao shook his head slightly, without any smug expression, but rather a deep solemnity.
"Master, Senior Dugu, I actually miscalculated this time. I overestimated Yu Xiaogang's position in her heart."
"Although the goal has been achieved, there will be a lot of trouble in the future."
"The reason she can threaten Bibi Dong is that she cares more about her reputation and is afraid that we will reveal the Spirit Hall's plan."
Then, as if realizing something, Lin Xiao began to explain in an extremely serious manner.
"When we go to war with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan in the future, we must prioritize preserving our strength. We must always be wary of their backstabs."
"Leave the charge into battle to the people of the Spirit Hall."
"If Bibi Dong gets a chance to kill us with one strike, she will show no mercy."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo seemed to suddenly think of something and asked immediately.
"Little monster! Could it be that... you really have a backup plan in the Spirit Hall? Otherwise, how could you know so many secrets?"
Lin Xiao rarely showed a cunning smile.
"Haha! I didn't expect that Senior Dugu was fooled by me!"
"There's no such thing as a backup plan or undercover agent. These are just my analysis of the situation on the mainland."
"But I just said that on purpose. I believe it has planted a thorn in her heart. I'll leave the rest to His Holiness to guess!"
...
On the other side, Bibi Dong and the other two who had left were walking slowly on the streets of Tiandou City.
Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo showed no reservation in their aura, and an invisible pressure spread out.
The pedestrians along the way had already dispersed in fear and disappeared.
Naturally, no soul master would be so blind as to dare to come and inquire about and observe the whereabouts of the Spirit Hall Pope at this time.
Ghost Douluo was as silent as ever, surrounded by black mist, following silently beside.
On the other hand, Ju Douluo Yue Guan, with a look of obvious resentment on his feminine face, finally couldn't help but ask:
"Your Highness! Do we really have to send troops to help that kid?"
"Dugu Bo is indeed powerful, but as long as we send one more elder, we may not be afraid of him!"
Bibi Dong stopped and swept her cold eyes across the empty street.
She replied expressionlessly, "Really?"
"When the old guys in the Worship Hall are unwilling to come forward easily,"
"How many people do you think we need to send out to be 100% sure of keeping Dugu Bo?"
"Are there any other people around him who know about our situation? Can you confirm this?"
"Can you completely eliminate all hidden dangers at once?"
"You have to know that if even a little bit of the information that boy has leaked out, it would be devastating to both the two empires and other sects."
"They will immediately be on guard against us, and our years of planning may be ruined!"
A series of questions left Yue Guan speechless.
After listening to Bibi Dong's words, he also felt deeply helpless.
The Spirit Hall's plan is still in its infancy, and many forces and sects have not yet been fully infiltrated.
If the information is really leaked out, then with their current strength, it would be a pipe dream for them to dominate the Douluo Continent.
But Yue Guan was still a little unwilling.
"Are we... going to remain passive like this forever? Being led around by the nose by a brat?"
Bibi Dong raised her chin slightly and said helplessly:
"Alas! This time, we were careless. We really lost the game."
"But... I, Bibi Dong, can't possibly give in so easily."
She turned around abruptly and looked at the two Titled Douluo behind her.
"To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the country. After you two return, keep a close eye on the Spirit Hall."
"Who on earth is it! Who betrayed Spirit Hall and leaked the information? Find them for me!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei responded in unison. Bibi Dong continued,
"Also... considering that kid's temperament, the five thousand soul masters we sent this time might never return."
"So when you select personnel, send me those who usually disobey my orders and those who loyally serve the temple."
"At the same time, we must also arrange for a few of our trusted confidants to switch to Lin Xiao's side after the war."
"Until we have uncovered all his secrets and trump cards, we will gather all our strength and kill him at all costs!"
"If we can't successfully eliminate him this time... this boy will definitely be our most formidable opponent in our quest to unify the continent in the future!"
As soon as Bibi Dong finished giving the order, Ghost Douluo, who had been silent the whole time, seemed to have noticed something.
He walked quickly to Bibi Dong and whispered:
"Your Highness! The young lady is keeping an eye on us. You haven't seen each other for years. Would you mind going over to let her know?"
Bibi Dong's mental power swept across instantly, and her gaze was indeed cast towards a room window of a restaurant on the distant street.
"Humph! What Miss? She has nothing to do with me. Don't mention her again!"
Before she finished her words, Bibi Dong soared into the sky, transformed into a stream of light, and rushed towards the Spirit Hall without stopping.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, each seeing deep helplessness in the other's eyes. They followed closely behind the Pope.
In the room of the restaurant, Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, quietly watched Bibi Dong and the other two disappear into the sky without looking back.
An unconcealable sense of loss crept into her heart.
Her eyes were slightly red and soon covered with a thin layer of mist.
The Thorny Porpoise Douluo standing behind her felt a tightness in his heart when he saw this, and he quickly stepped forward and tried to comfort her.
"Miss! His Holiness the Pope...she must be afraid of exposing your identity, so...that's why it's inconvenient for her to come to the gathering. You don't have to think too much about it."
These words seemed somewhat pale and powerless, even Thorny Porpoise Douluo himself would not believe them, let alone the insightful Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, suppressed the sadness in her heart, and slowly turned around.
"Uncle Thornfish, there's no need to be like this... I'm fine. I've gotten used to it over the years."
She tried to calm herself down, but her slightly trembling eyelashes still revealed the sadness in her heart.
She withdrew her gaze from the sky and turned towards the direction of the Li clan's mansion, where Lin Xiao and others were.
"But...how did Lin Xiao do it?"
"Why would she...visit the Tiandou Empire in person?"
The Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo beside them both shook their heads slightly, indicating that they also knew nothing about this matter.
Qian Renxue was silent for a moment, and secretly formed an idea in her mind.
"It seems... I have to find an opportunity to visit this young marquis in person."
"Perhaps, he can answer the doubts that have been in my mind for many years."
