The Celestial Cyan Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape were very grateful to Ye Yu. Without Ye Yu, Xiao Wu would be in danger. Of course, Tang San also desperately protected her, and this kindness they kept in mind.
Although they wanted Xiao Wu to stay with them, they knew she wanted to leave, so they did not stop her.
Xiao Wu left the Xingdou Forest with Tang San, heading to Shrek Academy, her face covered by a veil.
Martial Soul Hall.
In the Pope Hall, Bibi Dong was waiting.
"Report! The bishops have returned!"
The Second Honored Guest Elder beside her said, "It seems the mission was completed, so next we will move against the Upper Three Sects. The Martial Soul Hall will get better and better."
Bibi Dong thought so too, however…
First to return were Ghost Leopard Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo, both injured, making Bibi Dong's brow furrow.
Just as she was about to ask, the Red-robed Bishop, Ju Douluo, and Ghost Douluo also returned, all of them wounded.
Bibi Dong's face darkened, "What's going on?"
They looked at one another, hesitant to speak.
Ju Douluo said, "The mission failed."
"Hmm?" Bibi Dong's expression changed slightly.
The Second Honored Guest Elder beside her was even more astonished, "Failed? How is this possible? We sent out sixty Soul Saints, six Soul Douluo, and seven Titled Douluo this time. How could it fail? Such a lineup could easily wipe out the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect or the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaur Sect."
Ju Douluo said in a serious tone, "The enemies we encountered were different. Let us first talk about our situation."
Bibi Dong said, "Let's wait until everyone is back before we discuss it."
Bibi Dong prepared to continue waiting, thinking that the people sent out would return one after another, as the five Titled Douluo before her had.
However, Ju Douluo's words stunned Bibi Dong, and the Pope Hall soon fell silent.
"Your Holiness, besides us, Hu Lina, Xie Yue, and Yan, everyone else is already dead..."
Bibi Dong's eyes widened in disbelief, and the Second Honored Guest Elder's face changed drastically, exclaiming, "All dead? How is this possible?!"
He couldn't believe it, and neither could Bibi Dong. But in the midst of the silence, time passed, and no one else returned.
Bibi Dong's face was extremely grim, "Tell me, what happened."
Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo recounted their encounters being blocked by the Titan Giant Ape and Celestial Cyan Bull Python, and Ghost Leopard Douluo finished their account as well.
Bibi Dong's face showed increasing shock, especially when she heard that Ye Yu already possessed the strength to contend with a Titled Douluo and could fight four of them after going berserk.
He was only seventeen, but facing such a lineup, he instantaneously killed Soul Saints and Soul Douluo, and finally even went one-on-one with four Titled Douluo, and they suffered a crushing defeat instead.
All the Soul Saints and Soul Douluo died, and of the four Titled Douluo dealing with Ye Yu, two were dead, and two were severely wounded.
If they hadn't said so themselves, Bibi Dong wouldn't dare believe such a thing could happen.
Even though they knew the Apocalypse Black Dragon could no longer appear, they were not happy, because a new Apocalypse Black Dragon had appeared.
They previously knew Ye Yu as a demon, but Ye Yu was supposed to be support. Even if he was the Child of Apocalypse, his Martial Soul was a Support Martial Soul. Now they looked very grim; Ye Yu was obviously a Twin Martial Souls, and the second Martial Soul was the Body Martial Soul Apocalypse Black Dragon.
Originally thinking the mission was complete, and then ready to proceed at any time with the Soul Hunting Operation, the loss of over sixty Soul Saints, six Soul Douluo, and two Titled Douluo was an enormous blow to the Martial Soul Hall. Even if they destroyed the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect at such a price, they had not thought the losses would be so severe. And all of this was mostly due to Ye Yu.
The Second Honored Guest Elder was stunned. He thought the Martial Soul Hall would get better and better, but now it seemed to be getting worse.
With such a heavy loss, the Soul Hunting Operation would have to be postponed.
Even the ever-impressive Bibi Dong showed a fleeting moment of despondency at this time, just because of the four words Apocalypse Black Dragon.
Bibi Dong muttered, "The appearance of the Apocalypse Black Dragon signifies the imminent demise of the Martial Soul Hall?"
Bibi Dong's words weighed heavily on Ju Douluo and the others, while the Second Honored Guest Elder encouraged, "Although he is terrifying, since he went berserk, the price might be high. We should find him right away and take this chance to kill him."
The Second Honored Guest Elder's encouragement had little effect. After a brief moment of dejection, Bibi Dong said, "I'll have Ye Lengqiu from the Nine-Hearted Begonia Sect heal you, and as soon as your injuries are healed, we'll start the Soul Hunting Operation!"
Upon hearing this, the Second Honored Guest Elder was surprised.
"Pope, shouldn't we hold off for a while? We've suffered too much loss, we should first kill Ye Yu."
Ju Douluo said, "Though we don't know how Ye Yu will be after becoming the Apocalypse Black Dragon, the Celestial Cyan Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape went over then, along with the Hell Demon Dragon. I believe their combined efforts can restrain Ye Yu."
The Red-robed Bishop said, "The Celestial Cyan Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape intervened because they knew Xiao Wu. Surprisingly, the Hell Demon Dragon's intervention seemed very familiar with Ye Yu, willing to oppose our Martial Soul Hall to save him. I think Ye Yu will likely be protected by the Hell Demon Dragon or the Celestial Cyan Bull Python, so finding him to kill him now is impossible."
Bibi Dong nodded, "Alright, let's leave him be for now."
Though Ye Yu is terrifying, possessing such strength at seventeen, they were helpless. Ye Yu was sure to be protected, and moving against him would mean facing not only the Celestial Cyan Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape but also the Hell Demon Dragon. They knew the Hell Demon Dragon race lived in groups, and their leader must be even stronger.
As to why not delay, it was precisely because Ye Yu was currently weak, and thus could not afford to delay. Otherwise, when Ye Yu appeared later, he would undoubtedly interfere.
The Second Honored Guest Elder understood, "So that's what the Pope intends. Since a threat has appeared, we need to accomplish our goals even faster."
Bibi Dong thought just that. In his view, even with such a loss of mid-to-high-level power and two Titled Douluo, the remaining power was still massive, far beyond what the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrannosaur Sect could withstand.
Bibi Dong's eyes were steely, "In seven days, under Ye Lengqiu's healing, your injuries should fully recover, and then we will launch a night attack on the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect!"
At this time, deep within the Xingdou Great Forest, within a dark grove filled with demonic qi.
In the center of the grove was an open area with a dim castle in the middle. Around the castle were dozens of Hell Demon Dragons, the smallest being only ten meters, and the largest a hundred meters long.
In the castle, Ye Yu lay on a bed, a seductive woman in purple clothing sitting beside him, feeding him medicine.
The woman was naturally Zi Ji.
Outside the castle, the hundred-meter-long dragon body of the Hell Demon Dragon that had saved Ye Yu coiled, its head peering through the window into the room.
"Lady Zi Ji, how is he?"
Zi Ji's brows smoothed, "Luckily you arrived in time to stop him, otherwise, if he continued to go berserk, even though he is the Child of Apocalypse, he is still young, with a Soul Power Level of only sixty-eight. After going berserk his spiritual power and own energy had been immensely depleted, and if he was late by an hour, even if the berserk state was lifted, he'd have been exhausted to death by the backlash from going berserk. Now it's nothing too serious, he just needs rest and to take a spiritual elixir."
