Chapter 163 Elders Meeting

Spirit Hall, meeting room.

The huge six-winged angel statue, with mercy and compassion on its face, behind her, the sun shines through the colored glass, leaving mottled shadows on the ground.

The door to the outside world is closed, and two Soul Emperor-level pope warriors guard the door.

Under the angel statue is a long mahogany table, with intricate patterns carved on the thick legs. On both sides of the table, there are rows of red gilded chairs.

All the strong men in the Spirit Hall gathered together. This is an elders meeting.

Pope Bibi Dong sat in the first seat. Below her, on one side, there were six worshippers headed by Qian Daoliu, and on the other side, there were ordinary titled Douluo elders headed by Yue Guan. Walter, who had just reached level 90, was at the bottom.

After everyone was present, Qianjun, who had closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and asked:

"Bibi Dong, what's the matter with you suddenly calling us together to hold a meeting of elders?"

Bibi Dong looked at Yue Guan, who nodded and stood up and said:

"Maybe the worshippers don't know much. Recently, there have been thousands of thefts in Wuhun City, with victims ranging from Soul Masters to Titled Douluo."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Mo interrupted him and said, "Titled Douluo? Which idiot was stolen?"

Gui Mei was wrapped in a shadow, and his whole body was as black as charcoal, and his expression could not be seen.

Bibi Dong's face darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "Let Elder Ju finish his words."

Yue Guan continued, "The things lost in these thefts are very unusual. They are not substantial items, but soul skills of soul masters!"

"What?" Qianjun looked surprised, "Can soul skills be stolen?"

"Soul-stealing ghost..." Qian Daoliu also showed some interest in his eyes, and faintly spit out the name of a soul beast.

Soul-stealing ghost? No way... Walter's face twitched, and he drank a sip of tea silently, pretending that he didn't hear anything.

"A few days ago, even Ghost Douluo, the fourth soul skill of Ghost Elder, was stolen. Because it was a serious matter and had affected the entire Wuhun City, His Majesty the Pope summoned everyone to discuss how to deal with it." Yue Guan said, and then sat down.

Bibi Dong took over: "If you want to catch the thief, I'm afraid you need the worshippers to take action. Of course, I haven't decided whether to tear my face with him yet."

"Have you locked the suspect? Who is it?" Jiang Mo asked.

"Everyone has seen this person, the new Duke of Tiandou Empire, Duke Amon." Bibi Dong said lightly.

Bibi Dong has always been wary of Amon. Although the two are now in a cooperative relationship, this cooperation is not so solid.

Amon stole her soul skill first, and then sought cooperation, with a hint of threat. Although this point was not stated explicitly, both of them knew it.

Bibi Dong couldn't accept someone threatening her. Since this happened for the first time, there might not be a second or third time in the future.

She wanted to get rid of this threat that could steal her soul skills at any time, but she was afraid of the other party's strength and didn't want to confront him head-on.

If only she was stolen, the worshippers would not take action. Now Amon has expanded the scope of the theft and affected nearly half of the soul masters in Wuhun City. It's not just a personal grudge.

So she took the opportunity to convene an elders meeting. If possible, she would use the power of the worshippers to get rid of Amon.

"Is it him?" Yue Guan looked at Walter, who was at the bottom of the table, in surprise.

Qianjun and Jiangmo also set their eyes on him.

Walter said with some embarrassment: "I took him to hunt the soul-stealing ghost. It was a soul-stealing ghost leader of about 30,000 years old. It shouldn't have such a strong ability."

"The soul-stealing ghost has a limited time to steal soul skills. Generally, it will return in one day, but the skills of that duke seem to be a little different. I don't know how long it can last, but it will be at least more than two months." Bibi Dong said in a cold tone.

Two months ago...wasn't that the final of the Soul Master Competition? Walter suddenly remembered that Bibi Dong and Amon had some conflicts at that time, and even fought each other personally. Could it be...

He looked at Bibi Dong with a bit of strangeness in his eyes.

Jiang Mo also thought of this, and couldn't help laughing: "No wonder you..."

"Ahem..." Qianjun pretended to cough and interrupted Jiang Mo's words, leaving a little face for the Pope.

"A very interesting young man, why did he do this?" Jin Crocodile also became interested. He was very interested in the young man who overwhelmed himself and the four people of Qingluan, Xiongshi, and Guangling in momentum with his own strength.

"Why don't I explain this question to you..." A voice came from above.

Amon's illusory body penetrated the window and fell on the angel statue.

The shadow on the ghost suddenly fluctuated, because Amon just used his stolen fourth soul skill!

Glancing at Amon standing on the shoulder of the angel statue, Qian Daoliu frowned and said in a calm but unquestionable tone: "Get down!"

Feeling the fleeting pressure, Amon "tsk" and jumped off the statue. He took off his hat and saluted everyone:

"Because there is a need... Do you remember the 100,000-year soul beast that appeared in the Soul Master Competition?"

"What does it have to do with that?" Jiang Mo was puzzled.

Amon smiled and said:

"A weak 100,000-year soul beast, I'm afraid no one will not be interested. It's not difficult to kill it, but the reward is very rich, a 100,000 soul ring, and a good soul bone.

"I once tracked it all the way to the depths of the Star Dou Forest. There, I encountered something very terrifying, some terrifying soul beast that transcended the level of a hundred thousand years.

"I just took a quick look and left. It was unwise to fight with such a being in the middle of the forest. But that thing made me very curious. I wanted to find some good soul skills to explore that guy's background.

"In addition, due to the activities of that ferocious beast, some changes occurred in the entire Star Dou Forest, which made the soul masters' hunting of soul rings even more dangerous.

"Whether it's for my personal reasons or for the safety of our soul master friends, I think it's necessary to eliminate this danger."

Yue Guan said with some doubt: "A soul beast that has surpassed a hundred thousand years? How is it possible? If the soul beast has not transformed, wouldn't it only live for a thousand years?"

"What you are talking about is probably the taboo existence in the Star Dou Forest... I have encountered similar monsters in other places." Qian Daoliu touched his shoulder, and the burn there was still aching.

After a pause, he continued:

“There are also records of these monsters in ancient books, calling them ‘ferocious beasts’. It is actually not accurate to say that soul beasts can only live for one thousand years after one hundred thousand years.

"They will face a natural disaster in a thousand years. If they don't survive it, they will die naturally. But if they survive it, they can survive for 200,000 years and become even more terrifying 'ferocious beasts'.

"Ordinary hundred thousand year soul beasts correspond to the strength of ordinary titled Douluo, while ferocious beasts can rival super Douluo. That is the level of the worshipers.

"There is no doubt that they are the enemies of mankind. In the distant past, countless human kingdoms were destroyed by the hands of ferocious beasts."

With Qian Daoliu's confirmation, the elders present finally no longer had any doubts.

"You mean, there are ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Forest?" Bibi Dong had a questioning look in his eyes. She didn't explain the situation clearly to her when she blamed Amon for the transaction.

She knew how terrifying that monster was. When she wanted to hunt the red lotus snake that appeared in the Iron Heart Mountains, Qian Daoliu showed the injuries she sustained from fighting with it.

"That is indeed a soul beast that is more than 100,000 years old." Amon shrugged, indicating that he had not deceived her.

Seemingly sensing Bibi Dong's thoughts, Qian Daoliu reminded:

"You don't have to think of the ferocious beasts as being so powerful. The Red Lotus Serpent is also the top existence among the ferocious beasts. Ordinary ferocious beasts, equivalent to level 96 or 97 Super Douluo, can still try to hunt."

Bibi Dong's eyes lit up. Since the ferocious beast is a soul beast that has transcended a hundred thousand years, the soul rings provided must be better than those provided by a hundred thousand year soul beast.

Walter suddenly said: "The Star Dou Forest has indeed become much more dangerous in recent times. Many soul masters have said that in the original outer area, they encountered soul beasts of a higher age, and some were more than ten thousand years old. They should be hostile, but now they join forces to attack humans.”

Qian Daoliu said to Amon: "Martial Soul Hall has the responsibility to safeguard the development and interests of soul masters. Since the existence of that vicious beast affects the normal hunting of soul rings by soul masters, then we must get rid of it. Have you chosen the soul skills you need?"

Amon nodded, "They are all high-speed movement, stealth, and hiding skills, which are helpful for me to detect the situation in the Star Forest."

Qian Daoliu said calmly: "Then I'll leave it to you to locate the ferocious beast..."

Then, he turned his head and looked at Bibi Dong: "You happen to be missing a soul ring, so you can lead people to hunt that guy, but remember, ferocious beasts are capable of launching a beast tide, so you must be absolutely sure before you do it. , otherwise there will be a backlash.”

Bibi Dong looked at Qian Daoliu and asked, "Will the worshipers take action?"

Qian Daoliu nodded, "As I said, Wuhun Palace has the responsibility to defend the interests of the soul masters. Since that ferocious beast disrupted the order of the Star Dou Forest and affected the soul masters' hunting of soul rings, then naturally we I won’t let it go.”

After receiving the affirmation, Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with joy. Although he failed to meet his initial expectations and failed to get the worshipers to help him strangle Amon, it seemed good to get them to promise to help him hunt down the powerful existence deep in the Star Dou Forest.

Bibi Dong looked at Amon and said, "Whose soul skills have you stolen? Explain the situation to the original owner, obtain their consent, and take it without telling them. This is not what a gentleman does and is not worth advocating."

Amon chuckled, raised his right hand, pinched his monocle, and said softly: "I will do it."

Bibi Dong looked at the elders again:

"Everyone, originally the incident in the Star Forest was the second topic of the elders' meeting, but since it was mentioned in advance, I won't repeat it again. The meeting is adjourned."
