Chapter 328 Bibi Dong's Ambition

That day, Yang Ping'an came to the Pope's Palace alone. The guards seemed to have been notified in advance, and Yang Ping'an came into the Pope's Palace without any obstruction.

Inside the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong was still sitting on the throne, wearing golden armor and a crown. She seemed to be more majestic than before, especially her soul power, which seemed to be more condensed than when she was in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Yang Ping'an bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty. I wonder what Your Majesty wants to see me about?"

Bibi Dong waved her hand, and a huge seat suddenly appeared in the hall: "Sit down, I want to discuss something with you in detail."

Yang Pingan sat down without being polite: "Your Majesty is quite polite. To Your Majesty, I am just a junior. There is no need to be so grand."

Bibi Dong smiled and said, "It's nothing grand or not. You are now the number one master in Douluo Continent. No one in the world can look down on you anymore."

"Your Majesty is too modest. My ability is not comparable to your talent."

"You have reached level ninety-nine at such a young age. You must have a bright future. Perhaps my Wuhun Empire will need your help?"

"The Spirit Emperor's country is big and his cause is great. How can a small pawn like me compare to it? This makes me feel a little ashamed."

……

After the two men praised each other and exchanged a few pleasantries (business flattery), the entire hall suddenly fell into silence. After all, with the strength of both of them at level 99, there was no need to meet each other unless there was something important, especially since both of them could see that the other was rejecting them.

Yang Pingan suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty has summoned me for something. I don't know what it is. Judging from the fact that Your Majesty is so busy, it must be something important."

Bibi Dong paused for a moment before speaking: "Yang Ping'an, how much of your strength did you use in the battle against the Grand Priest that day? And how badly was the Grand Priest injured?"

Yang Pingan thought for a moment and said, "My injuries and the Great Priest's injuries should be similar. According to the Great Priest's condition, he will probably recover in ten days or half a month at most. After all, the recovery ability of the Extreme Douluo is very good."

"As for the strength I exerted, I should have used about 90% of my strength. I estimate that the chief priest also used about the same amount of strength. After all, the chief priest still has some things to worry about."

In fact, Yang Ping'an was hiding something in this regard. He had only used 50% of his strength at most. After all, he had not used his second martial soul, and he still had many trump cards. However, Yang Ping'an was not stupid enough to say anything casually.

Of course, Yang Ping'an's so-called 50% strength does not include the Scythe of Death. If he uses the Scythe of Death, he will be able to kill the Ultimate Douluo.

Bibi Dong smiled: "You are being a little dishonest. You have never used your second martial soul from the beginning to the end. Moreover, your second martial soul has a higher configuration of spirit rings, so it should be more powerful than your first martial soul."

Yang Pingan smiled faintly: "That's not the case. All the spirit rings of my first spirit are selected according to the spirit. The spirit rings and spirit will be more matched. Although the spirit rings of the second spirit have a higher age, they are not so matched in pursuit of age. Your Majesty should know the difference."

"When your majesty absorbed the spirit ring of the Azure Bull Python, in fact, the Azure Bull Python was not completely suitable for your majesty's Soul Devouring Spider Emperor martial spirit, but your majesty still chose to absorb it without hesitation. Isn't the difference in the middle because of a hundred thousand years?"

Bibi Dong nodded slowly and said, "Yang Ping'an, I would like to ask you where you found so many hundred thousand year spirit rings. You know, I spent a lot of manpower and resources of the Wuhun Empire but still couldn't find so many."

Yang Pingan did not hesitate: "It's actually very simple. There may not be so many hundred thousand year soul beasts on the mainland, but there are quite a few hundred thousand year soul beasts in the sea. I have trained on the Sea God Island. Both my personal and martial soul have strong underwater combat capabilities, so I will try to find a hundred thousand year soul beast in the sea."

Bibi Dong seemed to have suddenly realized something: "There are indeed many hundred thousand year old spirit beasts in the sea, but unfortunately the Titled Douluo of my Wuhun Empire are basically land spirit masters, and their underwater combat capabilities are limited. Even if we want to go to the sea, it is futile."

"Besides, our Wuhun Empire and Seagod Island are not on good terms, and Poseidon of Seagod Island is not something we can underestimate. I'm afraid only people like you can wantonly search for 100,000-year soul beasts in the sea."

Yang Pingan said: "The sea is also extremely dangerous, and the sea soul beasts hide in great depths. I also asked the guardian beasts of the Sea God Island for help, and I paid a lot of price in the process."

Bibi Dong was a little puzzled: "With your strength, would you still feel danger even in the sea?"

Yang Ping'an's face tightened. "Of course. There are many very powerful and terrifying soul beasts in the deep sea. For example, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the Demon Whale Sea has the strength of an Ultimate Douluo. Even Poseidon cannot defeat it. Last time I accidentally went to the Demon Whale Sea, I was in danger because of its terrifying strength. In the end, I could only escape by flying."

Bibi Dong seemed to be thinking about something when she heard this. She was still missing her last spirit ring, so looking for a sea spirit beast seemed to be a good choice. But when she thought about the fighting power of the Titled Douluo in Wuhun City in the sea, she just sighed in the end.

At this moment, Bibi Dong's face suddenly tightened and she looked extremely serious: "Yang Ping'an, are you sure you can kill the great priest?"

Yang Pingan smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, you have overestimated me a little bit. In this Wuhun City, no one can kill the Great Priest, let alone the six Great Priests."

"Besides, the Grand Priest is the pillar of the Wuhun Empire. Why would His Majesty ask such a question?" Bibi Dong snorted coldly: "Don't speak in secret in front of others. You are a smart person, so you don't need me to explain it so clearly."

Yang Pingan said calmly: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am not a wise man, and I don't want to be involved in the internal struggles of your Wuhun Empire. This is one of the reasons why I have never joined the Wuhun Empire. Otherwise, I would need to take sides. I don't want to interfere too much in your family's affairs."

Bibi Dong's expression changed instantly: "What do you mean by that? Do you think I am testing you on purpose?"

"In this Wuhun Empire, although I am an emperor respected by all the people, in the eyes of the elders in the Wuhun Empire, the prestige of the Great Priest is much higher than mine."

Yang Ping'an's face suddenly turned cold: "Your Majesty, I don't want to interfere in the conflict between you, the emperor, and the Worship Hall. And I give you a piece of advice. It's best not to involve my master and uncle in this vortex. Otherwise, your majesty should know my character better than others."

Although Yang Ping'an still respectfully addressed him as "Your Majesty", his words were extremely fierce, and even revealed a hint of murderous intent, which made even Bibi Dong seem extremely fearful.

After an unknown amount of time, Bibi Dong finally spoke calmly: "Forget it, since you don't want to interfere, I won't involve your master and uncle. However, as elders of the Wuhun Empire, they should still contribute to the empire as usual."

Bibi Dong's words seemed to show a hint of compromise. At least now she was no longer sure she could keep Yang Ping'an.

The two fell into silence again, and this time it was Bibi Dong who broke the silence.

"Yang Ping'an, I heard that your golden dragon swallowed a person's martial soul. I wonder if you can return the martial soul?"

Yang Pingan smiled: "Your Majesty, please don't beat around the bush. The person you are talking about is Yu Xiaogang, right? I'm really sorry, anything swallowed by my martial spirit will be completely absorbed and it is impossible to separate it."

Bibi Dong's face turned cold: "Is there really no hope? Your martial soul and Yu Xiaogang's martial soul are of the same origin, so you should be able to help him awaken his martial soul again."

Yang Pingan stared at Bibi Dong. "Your Majesty, have you made a mistake? You should know more about what Yu Xiaogang did in the Tiandou Empire. Yu Xiaogang organized various forces to oppose the Wuhun Empire. He even wanted to win over the Four Elements Academy in order to accumulate strength. In theory, he should be the biggest enemy of the Wuhun Empire."

"Why doesn't Your Majesty think about getting rid of this kind of enemy as soon as possible, but instead wants to help him recover his martial spirit? Does Your Majesty think that the Wuhun Empire has too few enemies now, and wants to bring in a few more?"

"Besides, Yu Xiaogang is just a Soul Master. With so many high-level Soul Masters in the Soul Empire, it should be as easy to kill him as to kill a chicken. But this will only encourage him to do whatever he wants. I'm a little suspicious of what your majesty is thinking."

Bibi Dong's face looked extremely ugly: "Yu Xiaogang was also an elder of our Wuhun Empire. He has a deep understanding of Wuhun research theory. I just don't want to see a master of Wuhun research die in depression."

Yang Pingan smiled: "Your Majesty has a lot of thoughts, but now that the three empires are at war, shouldn't Your Majesty think more about how to eradicate the two empires? As for a mere Soul Master, can't Your Majesty make a decision after unifying the world?"

"As for Yu Xiaogang's so-called theories, your majesty should be very clear about how effective they are. However, compared with the unification of the continent and the hegemony of the Wuhun Empire, your majesty should be able to distinguish which is more important."

At this point, both of them seemed to look unhappy, and there seemed to be a lot more tension in their words.

After an unknown amount of time, Bibi Dong seemed to sigh: "Yang Ping'an, with your current strength, my Wuhun Empire can't give you any help, but I would like to invite you to become a guest of my Wuhun Empire. What do you think?"

Yang Ping'an showed a trace of surprise on his face: "Your Majesty, what does this guest official mean? I have always been used to being idle, and I don't want to be bound by anything, whether it is my body or my reputation."

Bibi Dong smiled bitterly, "So what? The news of your victory over the Great Priest has spread all over the world. You are now the best master in Douluo Continent and even admired by countless soul masters. If you don't join the Spirit Empire, it will only damage the lofty status of our Spirit Empire among souls."

"Besides, you are now an enemy of the Haotian Sect, and the Haotian Sect has a close relationship with the Tiandou Empire, and even has a slight connection with the Xingluo Empire. It seems that you have no other choice except my Wuhun Empire."

"And you are only allowed to sign up as a guest elder. You don't need to do anything for the Wuhun Empire. You can even enjoy all the resources of the empire."

Yang Ping'an's face was calm: "Your Majesty, this is boring. I have always been a loner. I don't want to care about the affairs of the soul master world, nor do I want to be too deeply involved with any forces."

"Although I prefer the Spirit Hall to the two empires, and I like the management model of the Spirit Hall more, but in the past few years, after the Spirit Hall became the Spirit Empire, it seems to be getting more and more out of touch with the original ideas. At least I feel that the relationship between the Spirit Empire and ordinary people has become more distant."

Bibi Dong seemed to reveal a trace of doubt: "Yang Ping'an, whether it is the Spirit Hall or the Spirit Empire, is there any difference between them?"

Yang Ping'an suddenly seemed to become serious: "I am just a commoner, and your majesty seems to be a commoner as well. Have you ever thought about what you thought as an ordinary commoner?"

"Although the current Wuhun Empire still retains some of the operating modes of the original Wuhun Hall, what is the difference between it and the two great empires?" (End of this chapter)
