Chapter 206 Bibi Dong's Wrath!
Although the Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Operation ended quickly, the great battle at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was still discovered by some powerful individuals without any real influence.
After a week of fermentation, the news had spread throughout the Heaven Dou Empire and even gradually reached the Star Luo Empire.
For these unsuspecting people, it was completely unexpected that someone would dare to set their sights on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Although they did not know the final outcome, they did know that there were very few forces on the entire continent with such a scale of operations.
In no time, many rumors began to circulate among the onlookers.
For example, the reason why the Clear Sky Sect re-emerged to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was because the sect leaders of the two sects had been in love with the same woman when they were young; the reason why Sea God Island sent troops was just to ask Ning Fengzhi for a title, and so on.
All anyone can say is that these unofficial histories are not only unofficial, but also very historical.
Of course, most people know that these rumors are false, but a few discerning people can see that it is highly likely that this is the work of the Spirit Hall.
But even if we know that the Spirit Hall was behind it, without evidence, who can question them?
The Spirit Hall now controls the vast majority of Soul Masters, and even the two great empires would never dare to act rashly against them.
If they dare to spread these messages that are detrimental to the Spirit Hall, they might get burned and could be beheaded the very next day.
Some people suddenly realized that the Spirit Hall now has tens of thousands of spirit masters under its control.
If their goal is indeed to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, then who will be their next target?
However, there are still many suspicious aspects to the whole thing.
For example, why did they suddenly retreat halfway through the attack on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
These things were completely baffling to these Soul Masters who were unaware of the inside story, and they could only treat them as topics for casual conversation after dinner.
Spirit Hall.
Pope Bibi Dong crushed the teacup in her hand to pieces. Although her face seemed calm, her eyes revealed a murderous glint.
"Explain!"
The results of the Soul Hunting Operation have arrived, and Bibi Dong is already aware of its failure.
However, both operations ended in failure, which Bibi Dong could not accept.
She couldn't understand why, even though the number of Soul Masters she sent out was several times greater than the enemy's, she hadn't achieved any results on either battlefield.
Why is that?!
Bibi Dong's terrifying aura made the cardinal in charge of the report tremble.
But in the end, the cardinal mustered his courage and continued.
"In the battle against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a total of 10,000 Soul Masters were dispatched, including 1,000 disciples from the four lower sects. In the end, they failed to break through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's city defenses, but severely injured the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Sect Master, Ning Fengzhi, with more than 100 dead or wounded."
"The enemy seems to have been prepared. The early appearance of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo caused us heavy losses, with total casualties exceeding three hundred..."
The cardinal, somewhat trembling, delivered the battle report, bowing his head deeply and not daring to look at Bibi Dong even once.
The members of the Spirit Hall fell silent for a moment, none daring to utter a sound lest they further anger the Pope.
"Continue."
The words sounded very calm, but the cardinal had a chilling feeling.
Mustering his courage, the cardinal, his lips trembling, delivered the battle report against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, due to unforeseen circumstances, failed to launch an attack and retreated without a fight..."
The cardinal felt his mouth go dry as he finished speaking, word by word.
Suddenly, the cardinal felt an indescribable sense of oppression, which made it difficult for this cardinal, who was an eight-ring Soul Douluo, to breathe!
"Your Holiness the Pope..."
Under the oppressive aura of terror, the cardinal's face quickly turned red.
"Teacher, please don't be angry. This matter is too strange. Let's have the team leaders come in and explain the situation in detail."
Hu Liena stood behind Bibi Dong the whole time.
Ever since Hu Liena left the City of Slaughter, Bibi Dong has been planning to groom her to become the next pope, and even wants to make Hu Liena a saint.
Unfortunately, even though Bibi Dong is the Pope of the Spirit Hall, she cannot make such decisions on her own.
Even the Spirit Hall elders who were staunch supporters of Bibi Dong shook their heads in opposition when they heard that Bibi Dong wanted to establish Hu Liena as the Holy Maiden.
For no other reason than that among the younger generation of the Spirit Hall, there is a more suitable candidate than Hu Liena.
Qin Mu!
Bibi Dong also knew that Qin Mu's reputation was soaring and that it would be difficult for Hu Liena to replace him with her current strength. Therefore, Bibi Dong kept Hu Liena by her side and handled various affairs of the Spirit Hall.
That is why, at this moment, only she, the Pope's most beloved disciple, could speak up and persuade Bibi Dong.
Hu Liena also benefited greatly from her training with Qin Mu in the City of Slaughter.
Furthermore, on her way back to Spirit City, Hu Liena consumed the Immortal Herb that Qin Mu had given her.
Hu Liena has now officially entered the realm of a seven-ring Soul Saint. Although she is only a seventy-two-level Soul Saint, she is only twenty-five years old!
At twenty-five years old, she was already the second youngest Soul Saint clearly recorded on the continent.
Of course, Qin Mu is still number one.
Looking at Hu Liena beside her, Bibi Dong's expression softened slightly.
"Has any news come from the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Seeing that Bibi Dong's anger had subsided slightly, the Cardinal breathed a sigh of relief.
"Not yet, but I believe good news will arrive soon!"
Bibi Dong's question this time was naturally about whether there were still 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Of the three known 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu sacrificed herself for Tang San, while the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python have both been confirmed to have been absorbed by Qin Mu.
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Teacher?..."
Seeing that Bibi Dong's attitude was a bit off, Hu Liena, who was standing to the side, spoke up to remind her, somewhat puzzled.
"No, it's nothing. Don't worry, Nana, I will do everything I can to make you the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall!"
Bibi Dong waved at the cardinal, "The future pope will definitely be yours!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena outwardly expressed her deepest gratitude to Bibi Dong, but inwardly she was not as happy as she had imagined.
In her view, the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Spirit Hall were simply related to the selection of the future Pope of the Spirit Hall.
Although Hu Liena is not in a favorable position now, everyone has chosen Qin Mu as their support.
In this way, Hu Liena was no longer so unhappy.
In her view, whether it is herself or Qin Mu who will become the future Pope, she will do her best to give everything for the Spirit Hall.
If the object is Qin Mu, that would be even better.
At least, she accepted her defeat wholeheartedly.
Thinking of this, Hu Liena felt inexplicably happy.
