To be honest, Bi Bidong originally thought that upon hearing that the Martial Soul Hall and the royal family of the Xingluo Empire had reached a cooperation, the Tiandou Imperial Family would impatiently come to question...
Even how to negotiate with them had been considered...
But unexpectedly, the royal family of the Xingluo Empire went ahead to solve this trouble!
It's not an exaggeration to say it's understanding a troublesome matter!
The soldier swallowed his throat and cautiously asked his question, "Your Holiness, will the royal family of the Xingluo Empire and the Tiandou Imperial Family colluding together do something to hinder our Martial Soul Hall?"
Hearing these words, Bi Bidong just sneered, "Hehehe, the chance of the royal family of the Xingluo Empire and the Tiandou Imperial Family colluding together is almost zero!"
"As for hindering the Martial Soul Hall, it's even more impossible. Any intelligent person knows that the only power that can contend with the abyssal creatures is the Martial Soul Hall!"
"Even the upper three families and other sects large and small can't!"
Such confidence arises naturally because the Martial Soul Hall possesses the most soul masters on the Continent; its overall strength is unmatched by any other power!
If not, why have the abyssal creatures, after lurking for so long, not chosen the Martial Soul Hall as their target but focused on the upper three families!
The former also knew the opponent considered far-reaching, immediately bowed, "It seems Your Holiness has it all in mind, it's my folly!"
Bi Bidong's smile abruptly stopped, then the deep eyes flickered, "However... even so, we cannot rule out the possibility of an abyssal creature disguised within the Martial Soul Hall!"
"Currently, how many spies have been captured?"
The latter part of the sentence was clearly inquiring...
The soldier hesitated, seemingly in thought....
A few seconds later, he replied, "Reporting to Your Holiness, we have already captured at least dozens of abyssal creatures disguised as humans from within the Martial Soul Hall"
"However, the number of abyssal creatures likely still lurking is only more rather than fewer!"
Indeed, despite expending a great deal of manpower and resources to strictly screen the Martial Soul Hall, we still cannot capture all the abyssal creatures!
Bi Bidong pursed his lips, speaking to himself, "Only dozens of abyssal creatures have been captured? I don't even need to think; there are still plenty lurking within the Martial Soul Hall"
The soldier's eyes brightened, eagerly asking, "Your Holiness, may I dare ask, do you know of a better way to identify abyssal creatures?"
Bi Bidong heard this and couldn't help but shake her head...
"As for the Illusion Transformation Ability of abyssal creatures, I don't have a better way to identify them"
"However... he should know of other recognition methods."
The Martial Soul Hall soldier noticed the keyword, "He?"
"Your Holiness, the person you mentioned, could it be His Highness the Holy Son?"
Bi Bidong did not deny it, "Indeed, Xu Sheng can be said to be the person who understands abyssal creatures the most. He should know other methods; if there's a chance, you can ask him."
The former was bewildered, pointing to himself, "Ah? Me?"
Bi Bidong's gaze became a bit sharper, "What? Do you have any objections?"
The soldier quickly waved his hand to explain, "No, no, it's just that my status is lowly, possibly not qualified to negotiate with His Highness the Holy Son"
Bi Bidong was a bit surprised, "Is that so? But didn't you also talk a lot of nonsense with me, the Pope, and even took the initiative to ask questions?"
Upon hearing this, the former was so frightened, he knelt on the ground, cold sweat on his forehead, "Your Holiness, I definitely did not intend to offend you"
Damn, he had just forgotten the gap in identity during the conversation momentarily!
Bi Bidong sighed, "Hey, no need to be so nervous, I can see your loyalty to the Martial Soul Hall"
"Moreover, Xu Sheng is easy to talk to. On matters concerning abyssal creatures, feel free to ask."
The premise is, do not offend the other party's bottom line!
"Yes, Your Holiness!!"
I suppose I've earned the recognition of Your Holiness!
That also gives me reason to inquire His Highness the Holy Son about matters concerning abyssal creatures!
Bi Bidong interrupted his thoughts and ordered, "Alright, go convey this for me"
"Strengthen the vigilance inside Martial Soul City, unless necessary, no one is allowed to enter or leave freely!"
...
Tiandou Empire, inside the imperial palace!
Sitting on the throne, Xue Ye looked down at Xue Qinghe with a face alternating between gloom and brightness...
The latter remained unmoved, speaking naturally, "Father, may I ask why you summoned me?"
Xue Ye's tone was devoid of emotion, "A few days ago, I should have dispatched you to represent the royal household to go to Martial Soul City, right?"
Xue Qinghe was a bit puzzled, but still replied truthfully, "Yes, Father, is it that you wish for me to act earlier?"
Xue Ye shook his head, "No, the action this time is canceled."
Xue Qinghe frowned, "Father, what does this mean? Is it because of the cooperation between the Martial Soul Hall and the royal family of the Xingluo Empire??"
He hadn't expected the former to change his mind at the last minute, leaving him unable to guess his intentions!
Xue Ye gave an ambiguous answer, "Yes, and no"
Xue Qinghe remained silent, quietly awaiting the other's explanation...
Sure enough, Xue Ye suddenly spoke, "Not long ago, the royal family of the Xingluo Empire sent a message wanting to discuss the cooperation matters with us."
Xue Qinghe suddenly understood, "I see."
No wonder Xue Ye suddenly canceled the action, he didn't expect the royal family of the Xingluo Empire to act first!
Xue Ye, seeing him pondering, asked, "Qing He, in your opinion, what is the purpose of the royal family of the Xingluo Empire?"
Xue Qinghe came back to his senses, "Replying to Father, I believe the royal family of the Xingluo Empire came to reach a cooperation with our Tiandou Imperial Family"
Xue Ye was a bit surprised, "Oh?? Why do you say that"
The former's answer was beyond his expectations!
"The royal family of the Xingluo Empire's grand move is certainly not to show off their cooperative relationship with the Martial Soul Hall, nor is it to start a war under such circumstances"
"Then the answer is obvious"
Xue Ye remained silent...
"What you say makes sense, but while the relationship between Xingluo Empire and Tiandou Empire appears peaceful, there are hidden dangers"
"Cooperation might not be sincere"
Xue Qinghe pursed his lips, "Father, although that may be true, the abyssal creatures have now grown to a point where they can threaten the entire human world"
"Only by joining all human forces together can we eradicate it"
"Therefore, whether the Xingluo Empire's royal family's cooperation is sincere or not is not important"
What he meant was simple, that is, before eradicating the abyssal creatures, the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire can indeed cooperate!
Xue Ye sighed, "Indeed, I've been a bit too cautious!"
"If the royal family of the Xingluo Empire really wants to cooperate, then let's take a step back"
Only by getting rid of the abyssal creatures can the Tiandou Empire and Xingluo Empire be relieved of their worries!
