#194 - Wuhun City

Inside the Papal Hall, resplendent and dazzling with golden light, the grim and icy expression of Bibi Dong formed a stark contrast to the sacredness of the hall.

At this moment, Bibi Dong's beautiful face was frosty as she glared with angry eyes at the two useless individuals below the platform.

Beneath the throne, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, She Long, and Ci Xue were kneeling on the ground, their faces filled with terror.

The chilling killing intent permeated the air, causing their bodies to tremble, cold sweat soaking their backs.

Especially Yue Guan and Gui Mei; their bodies shook like sieves, large beads of sweat dripping from their foreheads. They lowered their heads, closing their eyes, not daring to look up at Bibi Dong's enraged face.

In their eyes, Bibi Dong was now a merciless demon who could take their lives at any moment.

Bibi Dong said blandly, "Failed again? Hmm?"

Hearing the single syllable "Hmm," Yue Guan and Gui Mei kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy, "Your subordinates were ineffective, Your Holiness, please forgive us! Your Holiness, please forgive us!"

"Hmph, to prevent your failure, I even specially dispatched Elder She Long and Elder Ci Xue to assist you, yet you returned in utter defeat.

Speak, you two elders! What excuse do you have this time? You'd better come up with something reasonable, and perhaps I'll reduce your suffering!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a terrifying soul pressure instantly erupted, enveloping Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and the others. The cold, evil soul power made them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, feeling only bone-chilling cold.

Finally, Gui Mei slowly spoke, "Your Holiness! This time, with Elder She Long and Elder Ci Xue, we should have been certain of success.

But we didn't expect that old fool Dai Tianxing would summon the Fifth and Sixth Elders of the Clear Sky School. The power of the Clear Sky Hammer was too strong; the two elders were no match for them, which is why we failed!"

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she coldly snorted, "Hmph! Good! Last time it was Dugu Bo, and this time it's the Clear Sky School. Why does everyone have to oppose my Spirit Hall! Sooner or later, I will destroy them all! Unify the Douluo Continent!"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei were both shocked to hear this, not expecting Bibi Dong to have such great ambitions.

"Those old bastards from the Clear Sky School are indeed very difficult to deal with, but with the strength of Elders She Long and Ci Xue, even if they couldn't win, holding them back for a while shouldn't have been a problem.

What about the thousand soul masters I gave you? The weakest of them were Soul Kings. Couldn't they take down Davis?"

Gui Mei explained, "Your Holiness, do you remember a year ago, I told you that the Star Luo Empire had developed a new type of weapon with the power to kill Soul Emperors and even Soul Sages."

"Hmm, I vaguely remember. So what?" Bibi Dong nodded slightly. Gui Mei had indeed told her about this, but she hadn't paid attention to it at the time.

Soul Emperors, although considered powerful combatants among soul masters, were far inferior to Titled Douluos, so she didn't take it to heart.

"What?!"

Bibi Dong exclaimed, standing up from the throne, her expression grave.

Soul Douluos, even within the Spirit Hall, were considered high-end combat power. She didn't care about Soul Emperors, but Bibi Dong couldn't ignore a weapon that could severely injure a Soul Douluo with a single blow.

"Your Holiness, that weapon can not only severely injure a Defense-type Soul Douluo with one shot, but if there are enough shells, even a Titled Douluo could be seriously injured.

Old Gui and I did our best, but we only managed to withstand a little over a hundred shells. Those thousand soul masters were killed by their shells…"

"Such a powerful weapon, could it be, an ancient soul tool?"

Gui Mei replied, "Your Holiness, I don't think so. Because that weapon doesn't have any soul power fluctuations, and ordinary people can use it!"

"Ordinary people can use it!" Bibi Dong sat weakly back on the throne, suddenly appearing decades older.

"Damn it! This past year, we've focused all our attention on the Clear Sky School and haven't paid attention to the Star Luo Empire. It was a miscalculation.

Now that the Star Luo Empire has mastered the new weapon and is mass-producing it, then we…"

Bibi Dong sighed. She didn't know what to do now. Attack the Star Luo Empire? If she did, the Spirit Hall would likely suffer heavy losses, and it was very likely that the Heaven Dou Empire would take the opportunity to attack, which wouldn't be worth it.

"The most urgent task is to seize the time to cultivate. If I can inherit the Rakshasa Godhood, even if the Star Luo Empire creates a weapon powerful enough to kill a Titled Douluo with one blow, it will be useless!"

Having made up her mind, Bibi Dong waved her hand impatiently, "Send someone to closely monitor the movements of the Star Luo Empire, and then I'll give you five seconds to disappear from my sight, or you'll suffer!"

"Thank you, Your Holiness!"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei quickly said, and then ran out of the Papal Hall in a puff of smoke, gasping for breath outside. Even with the warm sunlight shining on them, they were still trembling in fear.

Afterward, send people to pay close attention to the movements of the Star Luo Empire and Davis and others.

… …

In the blink of an eye, two days passed quickly, and Davis and his party also successfully arrived outside Spirit Hall City.

"This is Spirit Hall City. Only soul masters are allowed to enter. You will stay here and set up camp. When I'm not here, you will follow Uncle Li's command," Davis instructed, then turned to Li Hu and exhorted.

"Uncle Li, I'm entrusting these thousand people to you. If you encounter danger, I will release a signal flare. When you see the signal flare, immediately order the White Tiger Legion to bombard Spirit Hall City!"

Li Hu bowed, cupped his fists, and said solemnly, "Your Highness, please rest assured! If Your Highness is in danger, this subordinate will definitely risk my life to save you!"

"Yes, I trust your ability!"

With that, Davis, led by Dai Tianxing and his wife, walked into Spirit Hall City.

"Hehe, Your Highness, long time no see!"

Just as Davis stepped into Spirit Hall City, he heard a charming voice. Looking back, he saw that the newcomers were Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. Behind them was an old man with white hair, nodding and smiling at him. It was none other than Dugu Bo.

"So it's Miss Dugu and Senior Dugu, it's been a long time!" Davis smiled. With Dugu Bo here, his safety was much more guaranteed.

Dugu Yan smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I still have to thank Your Highness. If not for your help, my grandfather and I wouldn't have been able to turn the toxins in our bodies to our own use."

"I'm just doing good deeds. I'm glad I could help Miss Dugu. Besides that, I have no other requests!"

Davis replied, then secretly observed Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. Compared to the original story, both of their strengths had increased to some extent.

Dugu Yan's soul power had reached level forty-seven, much stronger than Yu Tianheng; and Ye Lingling's soul power was as high as level forty-three, also much stronger than in the original story.
