Bibi Dong and the other two arrived at the Holy Temple, and were greatly surprised to see the temple frozen solid, with ice crystals hanging everywhere.
They quickly discovered the Holy Temple Knights frozen at the entrance of the hall.
"Who did this?"
Ghost Douluo exclaimed in surprise, his ghostly figure flashing as he rushed into the hall.
The hall was still flashing with the light of spirit rings, yet it was completely silent.
Haines and the ten Soul Saints were all frozen. The
three had already summoned their Martial Souls, as if facing a formidable enemy. To be able to freeze everyone in the Holy Temple, one must be at least a Title Douluo.
However, they couldn't understand when such a powerful ice-type Title Douluo had appeared in the north. "They're not dead yet!" Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly exclaimed in delight. Haines and the others were only frozen, but not dead; their life force still lingered. "Bang!" The sound of ice crystals shattering and scattering. "How could this be?" Ghost Douluo was shocked, looking at the blood-red ice shattered into pieces before him. He had just tried to help a Templar Knight break free from his ice seal, but with one punch, the entire frozen knight shattered and dismembered like a block of ice. "What are you doing?" Bibi Dong scolded. "I..." Ghost Douluo couldn't speak. "They're all frozen, even their spirit rings are frozen, their flesh, bones, and blood must be frozen too. Forcibly breaking the seal will only lead to this." "Your Majesty, what should we do?" "We can only have a spirit master who uses an ice-sealing spirit skill break these ice crystals." After Bibi Dong finished speaking, her beautiful eyes flickered, looking towards the pavilion behind the temple. Just then, four figures suddenly flew out of the pavilion behind the temple! It was the Crystal Four who were guarding this place! Dean Shui Ningtian had arranged for the students of Tianshui Academy to find auspicious land to build the academy. The Crystal Four stayed behind in the temple to guard the Spirit Hall group. Although their ice seal was powerful, Haines and the others were not weak either, requiring constant vigilance and increasing the power of their ice seal. Otherwise, they would eventually break free of the ice. The four Crystals, who were resting, were startled by the aura of Bibi Dong and the other three Title Douluos. They came out from the back building and saw Bibi Dong and the other two. "People from Tianshui Academy!" Chrysanthemum Douluo exclaimed in surprise, easily recognizing them from the distinctive blue Soul Master robes of the four Crystals. "Your Holiness the Pope!" Crystal was even more shocked; she hadn't expected Bibi Dong to appear here. "Hains and the others, were you the ones who froze them?" Bibi Dong unleashed her sharp aura, the nine Soul Rings of her Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul forming a powerful pressure. The expressions of the four Crystals immediately turned serious. They didn't know the exact extent of Bibi Dong's strength, but it was definitely beyond their capabilities. "Yes, Your Holiness the Pope, but we didn't kill them. Tianshui Academy has no intention of being enemies with the Spirit Hall!" Crystal said bravely, trembling with fear as she faced this legendary queen! Right now, she only wanted to stall for time and wait for Ma Hongjun to arrive. Pope Bibi Dong was unlikely to be a match for Ma Hongjun. Although she possessed nine spirit rings, she only had one red one. "Impossible! How could you possibly do that? What kind of strength does Tianshui Academy have? Not a single Title Douluo! You're lying!" Chrysanthemum Douluo exclaimed. "Help them break the ice first," Bibi Dong commanded decisively, though she herself didn't believe the people from Tianshui Academy could accomplish it. The four Crystals exchanged glances; the pressure Bibi Dong exerted on them was immense. They felt that even if they wanted to summon spirit pets, they wouldn't be a match for Bibi Dong. "Alright!" Crystal readily agreed. There was no other way now; if they didn't obey Bibi Dong's orders, the entire Tianshui Academy might face calamity. They prayed for Ma Hongjun and Shui Bing'er to return quickly. The four Crystals summoned their spirits, and eight spirit rings immediately appeared. The unique eighth spirit ring caught Bibi Dong's eye; the red threads of the ring were particularly striking. This greatly shocked Bibi Dong; she had actually seen a spirit ring nearly 100,000 years old on four unknown spirit masters. If only she could obtain such a powerful spirit ring. However, there are also special soul beast patterns on their soul rings.
This caught the attention of the three.
Under the watchful eyes of Bibi Dong and the other two, Crystal and the others began to unleash their soul skills, their eighth soul rings illuminating.
Then, the ice crystals on Haines and the others began to turn into ice mist, which was absorbed into the four's eighth soul rings.
The four's eighth soul rings were like a black hole; the ice mist that was sucked in disappeared into thin air.
This strange scene left Bibi Dong and the other two dumbfounded.
"How come your soul rings are so special?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo asked, now somewhat believing that all of this was the work of Crystal and the others.
"This is our secret. When our sect leader arrives, we will explain it to His Holiness the Pope!"
"Sect leader?"
"Yes, His Holiness the Pope. He should be here soon. I believe His Holiness the Pope will be very pleased to see him!"
"Keep an eye on the four of them!"
Bibi Dong said to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
Haines quickly woke up.
The first thing he saw was Bibi Dong, and he quickly knelt down in surprise.
"Your Holiness the Pope!"
"Get up and speak!"
Haines quickly saw the dead body of Crystal, who was cornered, and retreated in panic.
"They...they have soul beasts!"
Haines pointed at the four Crystals, saying fearfully.
"Where are the soul beasts?"
Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo looked at the four Crystals warily.
"In their soul rings, there are soul beast patterns on the rings.
Soul beasts that are nearly 100,000 years old."
Haines shouted, having personally witnessed the soul beasts emerge from their soul rings.
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression shifted; a soul beast nearly 100,000 years old had stirred her heart.
"It seems you're not being honest!"
"Summon your soul beasts!"
Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo were also surprised, pressing her, and the situation instantly became tense again.
Bibi Dong's aura suddenly intensified, and a powerful soul force pressure enveloped the four Crystals.
No one could understand Bibi Dong's obsession with 100,000-year-old soul beasts.
Even with soul beasts nearly 100,000 years old, the same was true.
Crystals' delaying plan had failed; they didn't know that this Pope possessed twin martial souls and especially needed powerful soul beast soul rings.
Therefore, Bibi Dong, who had originally wanted to wait to see the so-called Tianshui Sect Leader, couldn't wait any longer!
Under the pressure of the three Title Douluos' soul power, the Crystal group finally couldn't hold on any longer and
summoned their soul beasts:
the Ice Jade Scorpion, the Ice Fox King, the Polar Snow Leopard Cat, and the Ice Phoenix Butterfly!
The four soul beasts immediately withstood Bibi Dong's immense pressure.
"Soul beasts!"
Bibi Dong and the other two were shocked, but their eyes gleamed. These four soul beasts were quite fitting for Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong's Soul Devouring Spider Emperor martial soul was insect-attribute, and the Ice Jade Scorpion and Ice Phoenix Butterfly were also insect-type. They
were a good match for Bibi Dong.
For a moment, they overlooked why the Crystal group was able to subdue the soul beasts into their soul rings; their eyes were fixed on the four soul beasts, wanting to kill them to obtain their soul rings!
Their first reaction upon seeing the soul beasts was to kill.
"Your Holiness, don't you want to know why we were able to subdue soul beasts?"
The Crystal group protected their soul pets behind them.
The four soul beasts, sensing Bibi Dong's powerful aura, were also very wary, looking at their masters and waiting for their decision.
"Your Majesty, let's kill the soul beasts first!"
Ghost Douluo suggested.
"You four step aside, and I'll spare your lives for now."
Seeing that Bibi Dong didn't object, Ghost Douluo began to act.
Dealing with four soul beasts nearly 100,000 years old was not a problem.
"This is our soul pet. If you want to kill it, I'll have to die!"
Shui Rou held her Arctic Snow Leopard Cat protectively in her arms, speaking firmly.
Although they hadn't spent much time together, they had a bond of souls, and on this basis, their hearts were connected, and the relationship between humans and soul pets developed very quickly.
"Looking for death? Then die!"
Ghost Douluo sneered, and then launched a soul skill attack.
Chrysanthemum Douluo also joined the battle. He and Ghost Douluo cooperated perfectly, and together they were as strong as a Super Douluo.
Bibi Dong's eyes focused on the Ice Phoenix Butterfly. Of the four soul beasts, she had her eye on this 90,000-year-old Ice Phoenix Butterfly.
She also made her move, shooting a black spider silk towards the Ice Phoenix Butterfly in the air.
In the hall, a chaotic battle broke out!
The four crystal beings and four beasts struggled to resist.
...
Ma Hongjun rode the Light Unicorn at incredible speed.
In less than a day, they arrived at the Frost Forest.
The Ice Crystal Phoenix was also a ruler of the skies, but its flying speed was far inferior to the Light Unicorn.
Against this divine beast capable of chasing light, it was indeed difficult to compare in speed.
Ma Hongjun had intended to linger in the Frost Forest for a while, waiting for Shui Bing'er behind.
"Someone's fighting,"
Guangyu Wuxie said curiously, looking at the distant city.
"Such a powerful aura!"
From afar, Ma Hongjun released his spiritual probe, and indeed, there was a powerful aura emanating from Frost City.
This immediately worried Ma Hongjun.
Such a powerful aura was definitely above that of a Super Douluo.
Considering that Tianshui Academy had moved here and would inevitably settle in the city, Ma Hongjun no longer hesitated.
"Little Guang, let's hurry over!"
Guangyu Wuxie, who had been curious for some time, spurred his horse, transforming into a streak of light and shooting towards Frost City.
A magnificent unicorn, radiating light, swooped down from the sky, instantly arriving at the temple's entrance.
The Templar Knights, who had just awakened and were standing at the gate, were blinded by the dazzling light emanating from Guangyu Wuxie.
Such a dazzling creature descending from the sky was impossible to look directly at.
"Teacher Crystal! Bibi Dong!"
Ma Hongjun exclaimed in surprise, watching the battle unfold.
He didn't have time to wonder how Bibi Dong had appeared.
At this moment, Crystal and her three companions were already injured. The Ice Jade Scorpion had been pierced by Ghost Douluo's claws, its corpse lying in the hall.
Its master, Shui Xin, was also lying unconscious on the ground, her soul wounded by the death of her soul pet.
The Polar Snow Leopard Cat and the Ice Fox King, despite their agility and speed, frantically dodged, but were no match for Ghost Douluo's shadow and were also injured.
Crystal and her two companions were completely overwhelmed by Chrysanthemum Douluo, their bodies bearing numerous wounds, their resistance futile.
The Ice Phoenix Butterfly was entangled in Bibi Dong's Death Spider Silk, trapped and unable to move.
Ma Hongjun was enraged. He stretched out his left hand, and the Martial God Spear appeared in his grasp.
