Dugu Bo stood proudly, the aftermath of the emerald green soul power slowly subsided, but that overbearing aura pressed down on Yue Guan and Gui Mei's hearts like a mountain.
The martial soul fusion technique of the two was forcibly interrupted, and under the backlash of soul power, their breath became disordered.
They looked at each other and saw deep fear and helplessness in each other's eyes.
Even though they joined forces, they still couldn't do anything to this old poisonous creature!
Even their strongest trump card was easily cracked by the opponent!
If we continue fighting, I'm afraid we won't gain anything.
Yue Guan's face looked extremely ugly, but he had to admit defeat.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the surging blood and energy, and retreated with the ghost, landing behind Bibi Dong.
"Your Holiness, I...we lost."
Yue Guan's voice carried a hint of reluctance and dejection.
The ghost remained silent, staring at Dugu Bo below with a gloomy look, as if he wanted to see through him.
Bibi Dong swept her calm gaze over the two of them, without revealing any blame.
She turned to look at Dugu Bo, with a hint of inquiry on her beautiful face.
"Dugu Bo, your current strength is beyond my expectation."
"However, with your strength as a Level 96 Titled Douluo, why would you be subordinate to a mere Soul Sect?"
"If you are willing to come to my Spirit Hall, I would like to appoint you as the Grand Elder of the Pope Hall, your status will be second only to mine. How do you do it?"
When these words were spoken, Yue Guan and Gui Mei were both shocked. They did not expect that the Pope would try to win them over on the spot.
If the other party really agreed, wouldn't I...
However, Dugu Bo had just defeated the Ju-Gui alliance and was in high spirits. Years of resentment were finally vented and he was in a very good mood.
Facing Bibi Dong's solicitation, he showed no sign of surprise. Instead, his attitude was rather gentle.
"Your Holiness is too polite!"
"Although I, Dugu Bo, am not a good person, I am not to the point of changing my allegiance just because of a few words from you."
He pointed downwards.
"My clan leader is still waiting for you downstairs!"
"You didn't come here to pick a fight with an old man like me."
"Let's go down and talk about it!"
After he finished speaking, Dugu Bo called out to Ye Renxin who was beside him.
The two men moved, like two streams of light, flying towards the base below.
In the blink of an eye, he landed behind Lin Xiao, like the most loyal guard, standing with his hands hanging down, and no longer speaking.
In the air, Yue Guan and Gui Mei both looked at Bibi Dong, waiting for her next instruction.
Bibi Dong looked at the young figure below, a complex light flashing in her eyes.
"Let's go! Let's go meet this genius who suddenly appeared."
"It's been a long time since such a person appeared on the mainland. I am really curious."
After saying that, she flew down first, followed closely by Yueguan and Guimei.
The three of them landed, and a powerful aura silently spread.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao waved his hand, signaling others around to step back.
Only he, Dugu Bo and Ye Renxin behind him were left in the field.
Seeing Bibi Dong approaching, Lin Xiao showed a perfect smile on his face, took the initiative to step forward and bowed.
"Boy Lin Xiao! Meet His Holiness the Pope."
"I've long heard that His Holiness the Pope is incredibly beautiful. Seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is truly well-deserved, and his beauty is even better than the rumors."
As soon as these words were spoken, the four Titled Douluo beside them, Dugu Bo, Ye Renxin, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei, all twitched their lips slightly.
The same thought popped up in the minds of several people at the same time.
Good job!
How dare a Soul Sect member "praise" the Spirit Hall Pope in such a face-to-face manner?
This guy is really too brave!
They have lived for so many years and have gained a lot of experience!
Bibi Dong's beautiful face, which was as cold as ice, seemed to be disturbed by these words.
A barely perceptible hint of anger flashed across her face, but she hid it perfectly in an instant.
She snorted coldly, her voice still cold.
"You know why I came to see you."
"Put aside your meaningless verbal quarrels."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao kept smiling, turned sideways, and made a "please" gesture.
"In that case, please invite your Holiness the Pope, and Seniors Ju and Gui, in for a chat!"
Bibi Dong looked at Lin Xiao deeply, without refusing or saying anything, but just walked towards the reception hall of the residence.
Yueguan and Guimei naturally followed closely behind.
Lin Xiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and followed behind the three people. Dugu Bo and Ye Renxin were like shadows, guarding them not far away.
After entering the reception hall, everyone took their seats according to host and guest.
Five Titled Douluo gathered together, and the invisible soul power pressure intertwined and collided, making the atmosphere in the entire hall seem extremely depressing.
Bibi Dong sat upright on the chair, her wide papal robe unable to conceal her perfect figure at all.
With a blank expression and a cold voice, she was the first to break the silence.
"Tell me! How did you find out about me and Yu Xiaogang?"
"Also! You specially invited me here. Do you have any conditions to release him?"
When Lin Xiao heard this, he still had that calm smile on his face.
"Your Holiness is indeed a man of quick words. Talking with a man like you is not tiring at all."
"As for the source of the news, it naturally came from Yu Xiaogang's mouth,"
"I'd like to ask one more thing, Your Holiness... do you really want to save that loser?"
"According to what he told me, the relationship between you two seems... to be full of calculations and exploitation."
As soon as these words were spoken, a strange color flashed in Yue Guan and Gui Mei's eyes at the same time, and there was a bit more inquiry in their eyes when they looked at Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong's beautiful face frowned slightly.
After a moment's silence, she replied coldly, "It's not your place as a young boy to comment on my affairs."
"Yu Xiaogang, if I let him live, he must live."
"If he wants to die, it can only be at my hands."
When Lin Xiao heard this, he instantly understood.
It seems that Bibi Dong, after experiencing so many things and holding a high position for so many years, is no longer the naive girl she used to be.
Perhaps, she had already understood Yu Xiaogang's character and the truth behind that relationship.
However, she was still a love-brained person after all. The resentment and obsession of being deceived by the scumbag was still deeply engraved in her heart.
The so-called rescue may be more about wanting to settle the grudges of the past with one's own hands, or perhaps it is about wanting to win back a game in the relationship.
After testing this, Lin Xiao already had a plan in mind.
He stopped beating around the bush and directly stated his conditions.
"Your Highness the Pope! Yu Xiaogang, I will definitely not let you go."
"The Spirit Hall's power is unfathomable. Only when it is in my hands will I be qualified to negotiate with you."
He paused, met Bibi Dong's cold gaze, and continued.
"But I can guarantee that he will be alive and well. Sooner or later, I will hand him over to you."
"The premise is... this time when I attack the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, I need your Spirit Hall to dispatch 10,000 spirit masters to help me!"
