Chrysanthemum Douluo said, "Lorddia, you've done well. The Pope will surely reward you!"
"Thank you, Your Eminence. It was my duty!"
After speaking, Lorddia slowly withdrew after Chrysanthemum Douluo waved his hand.
He understood clearly that Chrysanthemum Douluo would next go to see the Pope.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was in a hurry. According to his speculation, Bibi Dong could absorb the final two Spirit Rings at any time, but now the candidate Spirit Beasts were gone.
To find suitable Spirit Beasts again, they would have to go to other Soul Hunting Forests or the Star Dou Great Forest, all of which would take time.
Now, a 100,000-Year Soul Beast was like a pillow delivered right to their doorstep.
He hurriedly arrived at the Pope Palace to report to Bibi Dong.
At this time, Bibi Dong was still comprehending the Rakshasa Demon Scythe while also pondering how to rid herself of this Evil Soul Master and absorb the final two Spirit Rings.
Bibi Dong was certain that this Evil Soul Master was monitoring Spirit City and her movements in some bizarre manner.
Otherwise, it couldn't have coincidentally instigated two major battles like this.
But as for the method of surveillance, Bibi Dong racked her brains searching for it, nearly digging three feet deep across the entire Spirit City, yet she found nothing.
"It seems I need to think of a way to make Qiandao Liu take action. If he can protect me during cultivation, this Evil Soul Master likely wouldn't dare expose themselves before the two of us!"
Bibi Dong considered every possible method and finally realized she still had to rely on strength. The only one capable of dealing with the Evil Soul Master was Qiandao Liu.
But Qiandao Liu's thoughts were entirely focused on his granddaughter Qian Renxue, wishing her own strength would improve more slowly so she could eventually yield her position to Qian Renxue.
Where would he be willing to let her become a Dual Spirit Titled Douluo?
Bibi Dong was anxious in her heart, wanting to absorb the Spirit Rings as soon as possible. But in her actions, she strictly maintained her mystique, never leaving the Pope Palace.
She believed this Evil Soul Master was also anxious, speculating about her God Test progress. Wasn't that why this Evil Soul Master had continuously taken action—to lure her out?
The more critical the moment, the more patience was required.
As long as the other party revealed the slightest flaw, it would be her moment of victory.
Bibi Dong could only console herself this way.
On this day, Bibi Dong, having awakened from her cultivation, suddenly sensed Chrysanthemum Douluo requesting an audience.
She frowned slightly, took a step out of the Rakshasa Secret Realm, and appeared within the Pope Palace.
The doors of the Pope Palace opened accordingly, and Chrysanthemum Douluo walked in.
"Your Holiness, traces of a 100,000-Year Soul Beast have been found. I have come specifically to report."
Chrysanthemum Douluo got straight to the point, recounting Lorddia's discovery.
"To appear at the Clear Sky Sect again..." Bibi Dong revealed a strange expression. "This Xiao Wu has already cultivated to the Soul Douluo level. How could her identity be exposed?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo had the same doubt when he received the news. He said, "According to Lorddia, a subordinate Spirit Hall Branch received a tip. The informant's identity was mysterious and disappeared after making the report.
To personally verify the authenticity of the information, he immediately went to the supply town in the Star Dou Great Forest. His Fifth Soul Skill identified Xiao Wu's true form as the Tender Bone Charming Rabbit!"
Bibi Dong pondered thoughtfully. This matter was indeed strange.
Under normal circumstances, Xiao Wu would absolutely never expose herself.
"This Xiao Wu is interesting, with a Martial Soul of the Tender Bone Charming Rabbit. She must be the one who slipped through the net back then.
The informant told us her identity, clearly wanting us to take action to hunt Xiao Wu, leading to another major battle with the Clear Sky Sect.
I've already been fooled twice—do they think I'll fall for it a third time?" Bibi Dong curled her lips into a cold smile.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was immediately shocked. "Could it be that the informant is an Evil Soul Master? Trying to lure Your Holiness out of Spirit City!"
"Who else could it be?" Bibi Dong, having been bitten by a snake once, now feared ropes for ten years, mistakenly attributing Tang Hao's scheme to the methods of an Evil Soul Master.
If Dugu Feng knew, he would surely cry injustice—this time, it really wasn't him.
"Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and the Second Elder of the Clear Sky Sect have all gone to the Star Dou Great Forest?" Bibi Dong confirmed.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Order the nine Elders and the Angel Legion to prepare for departure!"
Bibi Dong suddenly gave the command.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was startled. He had thought the Pope had judged it to be the work of an Evil Soul Master and would abandon the hunt for Xiao Wu.
He never expected Bibi Dong would still mobilize.
After all, even the death of Dai Tian Jun and the Spirit Beast Riot in Death Canyon hadn't made Bibi Dong take a single step out of the Pope Palace.
Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't dare ask Bibi Dong the reason for this decision. He immediately withdrew from the Pope Palace to summon the Titled Douluo and the Angel Legion.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong went to the side hall to give instructions to Hu Liena before arriving at the square in front of the Pope Palace.
The nine Titled Elders and the thousand-strong Angel Legion were already assembled and ready.
"Depart!"
Bibi Dong soared into the sky, followed closely by the thousand behind her, who also displayed their Spirit Rings and took flight.
The Angel Legion was the strongest force of the Spirit Hall. All its Soul Masters possessed Flight Spirits. Though only a thousand strong, it included over thirty Soul Douluo, over a hundred Soul Saints, more than three hundred Soul Emperors, and over five hundred Soul Kings.
Only those who had cultivated to at least Soul King level were qualified to join the Angel Legion.
Such a thousand-strong Soul Master Legion on the Douluo Continent was a force that could slay gods and buddhas in their path.
At this moment, everyone had released their Spirit Rings.
The dazzling, multicolored Spirit Rings illuminated the sky with a radiant glow.
The most eye-catching were the nine figures behind Bibi Dong.
They were the nine Elders of the Elders Hall.
The entire Spirit Hall knew there were nine Elders in the Elders Hall, but in reality, the Spirit Hall had more than nine Titled Douluo.
These nine were the cream of the crop among the Titled Douluo, aside from those in the Hall of Worship, and were appointed by Bibi Dong as Elders of the Spirit Hall.
Only when an Elder fell would other Titled Douluo have a chance to replace them.
Gui Mei, Pufferfish, and Serpent Spear were once Elders. After their deaths, Bibi Dong immediately appointed new Elders to restore the number to nine.
Now, these nine were: First Elder Yue Guan, Second Elder Ling Yuan, Third Elder Mo Xiong, Fourth Elder Ghost Leopard, Fifth Elder Flame Eagle, Sixth Elder Kuang Long, Seventh Elder Sacred Dragon, Eighth Elder Hei Mo, and Ninth Elder Tian Kui.
Each was a formidable powerhouse in their own right.
All of them gazed fervently at the figure at the forefront—their Pope.
The undefeated Pope.
This thousand-strong Angel Legion and the Soul Masters of the Elders Hall were all meticulously selected and fiercely loyal to Bibi Dong. At her command, they would die for her without hesitation.
As this force set out with Bibi Dong, its momentum was like a sharp sword piercing the sky, returning only after drawing blood.
"Farewell, Your Holiness!"
"Farewell, Your Holiness!"
All Soul Masters in Spirit City knelt in reverence. Spirit City was a city composed of Soul Masters, with the exception of some family members of Spirit Hall Soul Masters—everyone else was a Soul Master.
Upon witnessing the Pope leading the Angel Legion into battle, they all erupted in cheers.
