Chapter 194 Spirit City
The Pope's Palace was magnificent and glittering with golden light, but in stark contrast to this sacred Pope's Palace was Bibi Dong's gloomy and cold expression.
At this moment, Bibi Dong's pretty face was frosty, and she looked at the two people below the stage with an angry look, who were more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.
Under the throne, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, She Long, and Ci Xue were kneeling on the ground with faces full of fear.
The cold murderous aura in the air made the four of them tremble, and cold sweat soaked their backs.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei were especially so. Their bodies were shaking like sieves, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from their foreheads. They lowered their heads and closed their eyes, not daring to look up at the angry Bibi Dong.
At this moment, Bibi Dong seemed to them to be a demon who killed without blinking an eye, as if she could take their lives at any time.
Bibi Dong said lightly: "Failed again? Hmm?"
After hearing this "Hmm", Yue Guan and Gui Mei kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, I am sorry for your poor performance! Your Highness, please forgive me!"
"Huh, in order to prevent you from failing, I specially sent Elder Snake Spear and Elder Thorny Porpoise to assist you, but you actually returned in defeat.
Tell me, two elders! What excuse do you have this time? You'd better make one that is more reasonable for me, maybe I can reduce your suffering!"
As soon as the words fell, a terrifying soul pressure instantly erupted, enveloping Yue Guan, Gui Mei and others. The cold and evil soul power made the two feel as if they fell into an ice cellar, and they felt only freezing cold.
Finally, it was Gui Mei who slowly said, "Pope! This time we brought Elder Snake Spear and Elder Thorny Porpoise, which should have been foolproof.
But we didn't expect that old bastard Dai Tianxing would actually call out the fifth and sixth elders of the Clear Sky Sect. The power of the Clear Sky Hammer is too strong, and the two elders are no match for them, so they failed!"
After these words came out, Bibi Dong frowned slightly and snorted coldly, "Hmph! Great! Last time it was Dugu Bo, and this time it's the Clear Sky Sect. Why do they all have to go against my Spirit Hall! Sooner or later, I will destroy them all! Unify the Douluo Continent!"
Hearing this, Yue Guan and Gui Mei were both shocked. They didn't expect Bibi Dong to have such great ambitions.
"Those old bastards of the Clear Sky Sect are indeed formidable, but with the strength of Elders She Long and Ci Tun, even if we can't defeat them, we should be able to hold them off for a while.
What about the one thousand spirit masters I gave you? Their weakest is only at the Soul King level. Didn't they manage to take down Dai Weis?"
Gui Mei explained, "Your Holiness, remember what I told you a year ago about the Star Luo Empire developing a new weapon with the power to kill Soul Emperors and even Soul Sages?"
"Yeah, I kind of remember that. So what?" Bibi Dong nodded slightly. Gui Mei had indeed mentioned this to her, but she hadn't taken it seriously at the time.
While a Soul Emperor was considered a formidable force among spirit masters, it was far inferior to a Titled Douluo, so she hadn't taken it seriously.
Furthermore, after Yue Guan and Gui Mei returned, news of the Star Luo Empire and Clear Sky Sect's alliance spread.
Bibi Dong believed the Clear Sky Sect was far more formidable than the Star Luo Empire, so she focused her attention on the Clear Sky Sect and ignored the Star Luo Empire's new weapon.
"This time, the Star Luo Empire has unveiled a new weapon, powerful enough to devastate a defensive Soul Douluo with a single strike!"
"What?!"
Bibi Dong pouts, leaping from her throne with a solemn expression.
A Soul Douluo, even within the Spirit Hall, is considered a high-end force. She might not care about a Soul Emperor, but a weapon capable of devastating a Soul Douluo with a single strike is something Bibi Dong cannot help but take seriously.
"Your Holiness, that weapon can not only devastate a defensive Soul Douluo with a single strike, but with enough shells, even a Titled Douluo could be seriously injured. Even with all our might, Old Ghost and I could only barely block a little over a hundred shells. Those over a thousand Soul Masters were killed by their shells..."
"Such a powerful weapon, could it be an ancient soul guide?"
Ghost replied, "Pope, I don't think so. That weapon doesn't generate soul energy fluctuations, and ordinary people can use it!"
"Even ordinary people can use it!" Bibi Dong sat powerlessly on the throne, seemingly aging decades in an instant.
"Damn it! For the past year, we've focused on the Clear Sky Sect and ignored the Star Luo Empire. What a mistake!
Now that the Star Luo Empire has mastered new weapons and is mass-producing them, what about us..."
Bibi Dong sighed. She didn't know what to do now. Should she storm the Star Luo Empire? If she did, Spirit Hall would suffer heavy losses, and there was a high chance of a surprise attack from the Heaven Dou Empire. It wouldn't be worth it.
"The most urgent thing is to seize the opportunity to cultivate. If I inherit the Rakshasa throne, even if the Star Luo Empire creates a weapon powerful enough to kill a Titled Douluo with a single blow, it will be useless!"
Having made up her mind, Bibi Dong waved her hand irritably. "Send someone to closely monitor the Star Luo Empire's movements. I'll give you five seconds to disappear from my sight, or you'll be in trouble!"
"Thank you, Pope!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei said quickly, then scurried out of the Pope's Hall. Outside, they gasped for breath, trembling with fear even as the warm sunlight bathed them.
Then, they sent someone to closely monitor the movements of the Star Luo Empire and Dai Weis and the others.
...
Time flew by, and two days passed quickly, and Dai Weis and his group successfully arrived outside Spirit City.
"This is Spirit City. Only spirit masters are allowed to enter. You will stay here and set up camp. While I'm away, follow Uncle Li's instructions," Dai Weis instructed, then instructed Li Hu.
"Uncle Li, I leave these 1,000 men in your command. If there's any danger, I'll send out a signal flare. When you see the flare, immediately order the White Tiger Legion to bombard Spirit City!"
Li Hu bowed, cupped his hands, and solemnly declared, "Your Highness, rest assured! If your Highness is in danger, I will risk my life to save you!"
"Yes, I trust you to handle it!"
With that, Dai Weis, led by Dai Tianxing and his wife, entered Spirit City.
"Hey, Your Highness, long time no see!"
Dai Weis heard a charming voice as he entered Spirit City. He turned to see Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, followed by a white-haired elder, nodding and smiling at him. It was Dugu Bo.
"Miss Dugu and Senior Dugu, it's been a long time!" Dai Weis smiled. Dugu Bo's arrival gave him an extra layer of assurance.
Dugu Yan smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I should thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Without your help, my grandfather and I would not have been able to transform the toxins in our bodies into our own."
"I was just doing good deeds. I'm glad to be able to help Miss Dugu. Beyond that, I have no other requests!"
Dai Weis responded, then secretly observed Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. Compared to the original novel, both of them had increased in strength to a certain extent.
Dugu Yan's soul power had reached level 47, much stronger than Yu Tianheng; and Ye Lingling's soul power was as high as level 43, also much stronger than the original novel.
