Bibi Dong felt helpless for a moment, it's okay to be scared, there's nothing shameful about it, after all, it's the Apocalypse Black Dragon she's afraid to face. Being scared isn't wrong, but pretending to save face afterward is.
Seeing Qian Daoliu with a regretful expression, Bibi Dong said, "Since the Great Tributor Elder is so regretful, shouldn't the Soul Hunting Operation continue soon? How about having the Great Tributor Elder lead it then?"
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu's face changed, forcing a smile, "That's not suitable, this time the damage was too severe, the lower, middle, and upper-middle levels almost suffered 50% casualties, even a Titled Douluo has died, and two more died in the Beast Hunting Operation, leaving the Martial Soul Hall heavily wounded. Let's postpone the Soul Hunting operation until you or I become a god, then it won't be too late to act."
Bibi Dong said, "Although the Ghost Leopard Douluo repeated Ye Yu's words, I think Ye Yu is just intimidating us; the Apocalypse Black Dragon probably won't show up. When the Soul Hunting Operation begins, the Great Tributor Elder only needs to deal with Ye Yu, with your power at level ninety-nine, you can definitely kill Ye Yu in one strike. Ye Yu's constitution is terrifying, being the Apocalypse Black Dragon, based on the messages from previous battles, her speed, life energy, and healing ability are also top-notch. Apart from the Great Tributor Elder, I'm afraid no one else can instantly kill her."
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu felt a chill in his heart, having to face Ye Yu?
Being level ninety-nine, he naturally has the confidence to instantly kill Ye Yu, but fears the Apocalypse Black Dragon's sudden appearance, not knowing for sure.
Qian Daoliu said seriously, "It would be safer to wait until after becoming a god to make a move. Though Ye Yu's talent is unbelievably exceptional, I believe you and I will become gods faster than her. Once we are gods, we won't need to fear the Child of Apocalypse or even the Apocalypse Black Dragon. The Martial Soul Hall would have twin gods, and even an unrecovered Apocalypse Black Dragon wouldn't be able to resist us."
Before Bibi Dong could say anything, Qian Daoliu continued, "Alright, I'll continue my retreat. With such a formidable enemy against Martial Soul Hall, we must strive harder in our cultivation, not wasting a single moment."
After speaking, without waiting for Bibi Dong's response, Qian Daoliu turned and entered the sealing room, closing the stone door behind him.
As the stone door fully shut, Qian Daoliu let out a breath.
"Seems like I shouldn't go out anymore for a while; I am not yet ready to face the Apocalypse Black Dragon. If I can't become a god, then I must help my granddaughter become the youngest god. Therefore, I cannot die and face the Apocalypse Black Dragon."
Outside the stone door, Bibi Dong felt helpless and left.
Returning to the Pope Hall, only seven Titled Douluo remained, with Qian Jun and the Demon Subduing Douluo absent, Martial Soul Hall now totals only eleven Titled Douluo.
The seven Titled Douluo all had somber, grim expressions, their fists clenched tightly.
"Damn it! The Soul Hunting Operation originally had the chance to succeed, to annihilate the Two Major Sects and even kill Sword Douluo and those three Titled Douluo."
"Ah, Ye Yu might have less strength than us, but she managed to hold off one Titled Douluo."
"If it weren't for Saint Dragon Douluo being restrained, we could have won. Unfortunately, he was restrained to the point he couldn't even release his Martial Soul, leading to his death at Ye Yu's hands."
"The situation was at a fifty-fifty level at first, but Ye Yu approached and her Slaying God Domain affected us, reducing our strength and putting us at a disadvantage."
...
Each of them felt suffocated, but Bibi Dong couldn't blame them. Although they lost, the reasons were understandable. The Child of Apocalypse and Slaying God Domain, she was well aware of the power of Slaying God Domain.
The Second Honored Guest Elder looked at Ghost Leopard Douluo, frowning, "You're at level ninety-four, getting held off by Ye Yu is one thing, but you let him get close? Couldn't you stop him?"
Ghost Leopard Douluo's face turned grim, apologetically saying, "It was my fault, I couldn't stop him."
Ghost Leopard Douluo's heart was full of guilt, unable to handle even a level sixty-nine Soul Emperor, let alone hold him off.
Demon Bear Douluo said, "I've seen Ye Yu's strength, back in the Xingdou Great Forest, he already had nearly level ninety-one combat power. Now, with a level increase, he's equivalent to level ninety-one. With her life energy and defense being so strong, even if I had the advantage, I couldn't kill her quickly. You can't blame Ghost Leopard Douluo as Ning Fengzhi's daughter's support amplified Ye Yu's strength again."
Ju Douluo frowned, "Support shouldn't be able to assist each other, why can the Seven Treasures Glaze Tower support him?"
Bibi Dong sighed lightly, "Perhaps it's because he's not just support; it's already confirmed he has Twin Martial Souls; his second Martial Soul is the Apocalypse Black Dragon."
Bibi Dong encouraged, "The Soul Hunting Operation is canceled and won't proceed for a while, but rest assured, eventually, Martial Soul Hall will unite the continent. When Martial Soul Hall has twin gods, the Upper Three Sects will be annihilated, and the continent will be unified."
Upon hearing about twin gods, their initial disappointment ignited back into confidence, believing Martial Soul Hall can still unify the continent as long as the Pope or Great Tributor Elder becomes a god, the Upper Three Sects wouldn't stand a chance. Even Titled Douluo rank in front of gods would be like ants.
At this moment, in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect.
Martial Soul Hall's retreat indicated their victory, however, they did not celebrate. Though Martial Soul Hall suffered heavy losses, their side also had many casualties, with five thousand dead and injured between the two sects combined.
Nevertheless, they felt heavens favored them, originally a situation destined for eradication.
Every member of both major sects were deeply grateful to Ye Yu, who had become their benefactor.
Members of both sects, even those elders who were previously dissatisfied with Ye Yu at the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect, now faced Ye Yu with gratitude and respect.
Disciples, Hall Masters, and Elders from both sects gathered to count numbers, tally casualties, and after burying the dead, they all faced Ye Yu, kneeling in unison. Even Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Yu Yuanzhen knelt down.
Ye Yu said nothing, and everyone heavily bowed before Ye Yu, not getting up, foreheads pressed to the ground, though silent, each person's grateful emotion was palpable to Ye Yu.
"Ye Yu, thank you!"
Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen expressed sincere thanks. Previously, Ye Yu had promised that when the sect faced danger, he would help, and Ye Yu fulfilled this promise now.
Originally, they thought if Ye Yu were to help, it would be long into the future. They all knew Ye Yu would certainly become the strongest existence in time, but didn't expect to already assist them, saving them from this crisis.
Without Ye Yu, even if they could escape, the sect's disciples would definitely face annihilation.
They believed, without Ye Yu's warning, they would have been picked off one by one by Martial Soul Hall, instead of joining forces, resulting in a much worse scenario. Yu Yuanzhen believed even for him as a Titled Douluo, there would be certain death.
If they died, the sect would never recover again.
Without Ye Yu, there would be no Seven Treasure Glaze Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect.
Ye Yu said, "Everyone, stand up."
Everyone stood, obeying Ye Yu's words automatically, Ye Yu's position was no lower than the two sect masters.
